You came close and loved me.
But then You forgot what You had done.

I did not call You,
nor did I invoke You in sadhana.
Yet, You simply showered Your grace upon me.

Whether I accept it or not,
You call me,
You attract me,
and by discipline,
You rectify me.

O Lord, You are never displeased (virup)
and never turn away (vimukh) from me, crushing my heart.
I know that my life is but Your gift.

I also know and accept that You love me.
Within my mind the feeling oscillates
that externally You are tough and internally soft.
