O lord,
On what morn, ancient and effulgent,
when was that effulgent morning, long ago,
Did I realize Your accompaniment?
when i first met you?
I don't know how to know the day,
I cannot recall the day
I cannot divine it in any way.
or the circumstances.


I was once arrogant, full of pride,
Overcome by ego I was conceited,
cultivating bookish knowledge
Judgement marred by scarred intellect.
with my shallow intellect.
I fell to my knees; but to know and to see,
Still I could not out of shame, out of fear.


I finally sank to my knees
I got but little in quest of philosophy;
due to shame and fear,
In science, demolished was my humanity.
yet could not understand
Through purest devotion{{#tag:ref|''Rágátmiká bhakti'' is deemed to be the highest form of devotion, pure devotion. In this state, one loves and serves the Lord for the sole purpose of giving Him pleasure, not for any personal gain.|group="nb"}} I've come to see
or come to know you.
You have arrived within my reach.
 
Even after imbibing philosophy,
I did not attain you;
merely realising that materialistic science  
had destroyed humanity.
 
At last, in the surrender of devotion
I found you close to me.
