With what kind of fragrant vibration
did You come into my mind?

With silent footsteps,
You secretly opened up
colourful petals of various hues.

In the past, I knew or understood,
but never longed to attain You closely.

You came to me on Your own
and, providing fulfilment to my mind,
pulled me unto You.

I know that You love me.
You have brought me close to You.

Although You originate in time immemorial,
I am limited.
And yet, You accepted me.
