On Sarkarverse, each song of Prabhat Samgiita is treated to a separate article. The lyrics are presented in both Roman script and Bengali script (Bangla). And each song is retranslated on a line by line basis. However, that project may take quite a while to complete. On Prabhatasamgiita.net, the lyrics (Roman script only) and the original translations (perhaps by Acarya Vijayananada Avadhuta or Acarya Priyashivananda Avadhuta) are all given on a single HTML page. Here on Sarkarverse, that same page (as of 2016 September 25) has been converted into five Wiki articles (see Songs 1-5018). Except for some very limited formatting and the inclusion of links to the audio file lists, nothing has been changed in respect to the Prabhatasamgiita.net HTML page.[1]

Dates and abbreviations
In this document, the date when the song was given appears in parentheses after the song number. That date may vary with other, possibly more reliable sources (for example, the books by Acarya Abhidevananda Avadhuta[2][3][4][5][6][7] or Acarya Vijayananda Avadhuta[8][9]).
After the date, there may be one or more abbreviations. These abbreviations typically refer to the style of melody or rhythm. For example, D stands for Dadra, and K stands for Kaharva. Once again, this information may vary with other, possibly more reliable sources (for example, the notes of P. D. Narayan[10].

If drowsiness should descend
at the call of inertia,
and I no longer listen to You,
then, with Your song,
wake me up.
I came to do Your work,
and decorated myself
in innumerable adornments.
So that Your grace
may ever remain in my mind.
So that, whenever I forget You,
I shall not fall.
Drifting in Your grace,
I keep smiling, bathed in liberation.

Today, at dawn,
You came and gave the message
that a new era was approaching.
You told me that darkness had faded away
and that humanity had been enlivened.
Humanity had shrunken due to the excessive number of demons.
Today, humanity has developed the inner strength of consciousness
to remove those demons.
O guide of the chariot of effulgence and cosmic goal,
You brought with Your own hands the water of hope
to shower upon all.
You came with a sweet smile,
to fulfil everyone's ultimate desire.

I dreamt yesterday that You had come to my home.
Hence today, I kept my home decorated,
in case You might repeat Your visit.
The mind that was covered with darkness
became filled with illumination.
Pitch darkness became filled with softness.
I am ready to welcome You.
I do Your work without pause.
With Your ideation,
my days and nights pass by,
in the flow of profound tears of bliss.

You loved the three worlds
and hence You dissolved in them.
Indifferent to who loves You and who does not,
You keep doing Your job.
You pour illumination into the dark hearts;
You destroy pitch darkness by Your sunrise.
By Your sweet smile and charming flute,
You bring tides into the layers of atoms and molecules.
The distant nebula
and the impressions of the mind,
all the records of destiny,
are located within You.
Embarking everyone,
be they far or near to the shore,
You carry the stream of life unto the ocean of nectar.

Nobody knows
during which age,
the introduction between You and me took place.
I know it has not taken place only a few days ago,
Tell me, when did it?
In which distant past,
did You create the Earth
and pour honey into flowers and fruits?
Why did You make the survival of the self dependent on love?
Some understand it, others do not.
In order for no one ever to lose oneself in the crowd,
You observe all meticulously.
Without You, there is no desideratum.
Yet, even knowing this, people do not understand.

You told me You would come back and left.
But You forgot Your words of assurance.
I know that I do not have any proper spiritual endeavour.
And that is why You did not grant the wee bit of Your grace.
O formless gem, consciousness,
and charming soft bouquet of beauty,
knowing me as a meagre and unconscious one,
You took away with You my lapses too.
I have no more ambition;
whatever You have gave, fulfilled my mind.
Still, it would have been better
had You come back and lifted me unto Your lap.

Why did You come today
having had to return so untimely?
It was as though You had come by mistake,
and once You realised the mistake You wanted to return.
I had not kept the welcoming pot filled with water at the door.
I had not kept the golden lamp kindled at home.
I had been sleeping, crying profusely,
from Your lack of affection.
You possess all qualities but do not show affection,
You understand everything but do not realise my agony.
My experience thus speaks about You,
You appear only to let tears flow from my eyes.

You came because You had forgotten which was the right path to take.
I do not know rituals and do not believe in undertaking pilgrimages.
You appeared to me by Your grace only.
Providing greenery to the desert,
blooming flowers on dry trees,
and swinging pearl necklaces on bare necks,
You smiled.
I understand that only You are mine.
Except You there is none I can call my own.
Everything that I possess is due to Your causeless grace.
Yet, knowingly and deliberately,
You revealed Your ignorance by coming to me.

For You, my whole life through,
I have sung many a song
and threaded many a colourful garland of love.
During many an evening, a morning and a moonlit winter night
have I drawn many an imaginary decoration of memories.
Whatever I do is but for You.
Whatever I think is nothing but remembering You.
During sweet nights,
I float on in Your stream.

O dear,
You are mine.
Yet, I am unable to understand this fact.
Why, I do not know.
Perhaps no keen desire has so far arisen in me.
You gave me a mind with limitations and boundaries.
With such a mind, how is one supposed to understand You?
All efforts would be useless and a waste of time.
Yet, the mind wants to hold that which is most difficult to attain.
Fathoming the bottom of the ocean of effulgence,
can anyone's mind ever find happiness?
I shall totally submerge myself in Your effulgence
and thus remain Your own.
I shall become unified with You,
by dissolving myself in You.

I did not see You,
nor found close by.
I then kept thinking about You within my mind.
Raising my sleeping aspirations,
I perform my sadhana with love
as I awake.
In butter, I find Your softness,
in the fragrant essence of flowers, Your sweetness,
in the blue sky, flashes of Your pervasiveness.
Seeing all this, I absorb myself in You.
You are in a sphere above the known and the unknown.
In layers of atoms and molecules,
You remain in close contact and fill the sky.
You vibrate in depth the seven layers of the cosmic mind.
To all You remain very close.

Dear Lord,
You are mine and I am also Yours.
I dance in tune to Your thought
rhythm after rhythm.
In light or in darkness,
on the shore of the stream of life,
I search those series of waves.
On the path of movement,
You continuously provide inspiration.
In the urge of action,
You never forget me.
Should I ever forget You,
then, shedding tears,
break my drowsiness with sweet spirit.
Within You there is no place for smallness.
I find You located in transcendental ideation.
In the mind inflicted with agony,
You provide the vibration of the festivity of light
that sparkles with illumination.

Though I know I made a mistake,
I did not forget Your love to this day.
Why did You come to me?
You understood my pain and won my mind.
Flooding the entirety of my existence,
You went far away, never to return.

I helplessly beg for Your grace.
Come to my home during my happy days.
I shall satisfy You with plenty of love.
And do not stay away during my bad days either.
All my poor man's food I shall serve You.
Kindle light in my dark home.
When You are away,
I am lost in inertia and crudity.

I bow down before You,
offering my hundreds and hundreds of salutations unto You.

forgetting that You are attainable amidst sorrow too.
You are present in the honey of flowers,
in the moon of the moonlight,
in the fragrance of flower petals
but also in the frightfulness of cyclonic storms.
You exist in the effulgence of heaven,
and in the delight of life.
You dwell in both physical and psychic worlds

to come under Your eternal shelter and for Your divine grace.
And by Your infinite grace,
I am always under Your shelter,
with You eternally showering down Your love.
Nobody is ever helpless
when the divine blessing of Your varabhaya mudra is there.
To You even the highest mountains bow their head.
With a smile, You bestow colourful illuminations on me.

You love only for name sake and to show off.
Why would we otherwise observe it?
I will not speak and will no more show signs of consent.
The garland has been threaded.
The floral bouquet is kept ready.
My bag is full of buds of mahul flowers,
but I shall give You no more.
The sun rises.
The colourful dawn has come.
You are the hero of my mind.
Leaving me, where are You going?
When You come close my mind dances with bliss.
Let my world be confined to within and around You only.

I have come to move according to Your wishes.
To make You the sole vow of my life,
illuminating me with Your light
in both life and death.
I work for You from morning till evening,
yet, O Lord,
You did not give me sufficient time.
Have mercy on me
so that I may clear the burden of responsibilities entrusted to me
during the day time itself.
I do not want wealth, recognition or respect.
Just give me absolute faith in my Ista,
so that, by the strength of Your blessings,
I may achieve the climax of Your work.

O beloved,
when and with what mood,
will You appear,
no one can say or knows.
Even reasoning again and again,
You remain impossible to comprehend,
O liberator.
Can the lotus bloom on hard ground?
Do bees sing mentally?
If You wish,
even the dense and dark clouds will rain nectar.
Your wish is our attainment.
Our wishes are not attainable.
This push and pull of Yours
of wishes and attainments
has been taking place in hundreds of ways,
ages beyond ages.

You told You would come back and went away.
But the time of Your return did not come.
When You were nearby,
You had loved me,
and told me You would not forget.
Many hundreds of trees, plants, stars and planets
have been flooded by Your love.
But why did You cast me aside,
wiping me from the screen of Your memory?
Like me,
many are those that have been forgotten
and are now lying on the ground,
afflicted with agony.
Does not their pain enter Your mind?
Tell me, what sort of mind do You have?

And yet, You are not satisfied.
Day and night I drench myself in tears,
squeezing my afflicted heart.
People say that You are ocean of grace.
Why is then my destiny so different?
I keep carrying a heavy load of agony at all times.
I do not know
why You are so compassionate to others,
but discriminate against me?
Still, I remain very much alive
with the hope of obtaining
even just a wee bit of Your grace at daybreak.

He told me,
“Do not worry.
I am with you.
Do not cry.
The golden light will come
and destroy all darkness.
Do not forget these words of mine.
Even the clusters of stars in the sky are never alone.
With the light of the moon,
they forget their pain and agony.
If due to the intense heat of summer,
you can no longer bear the burns,
by bringing the sandal breeze,
I shall provide a sweet and soothing relief.
If due to humiliating words your feeling are hurt,
by applying the essence of nectar
from the melodies of the peacock and the papiha bird,
I shall remove all tortures.”

O beloved,
waving my lamp to welcome You,
how much I have called,
yet You did not come.
Tell me why.
I prepared a garland from the fresh flowers of the morning,
and poured the evening's red colour of my heart into it.
Many songs did I sing for You,
but the occasion to sing them did not arise.
I have nothing more to say for You to listen to.
Perhaps You do not want to accept my love.
Yet, silently, in the recess of my mind,
I shall continue to draw each moment,
Your shining and effulgent memory.

O dear,
my coming and going depends solely upon You.
My life, death and characteristics,
are of no importance to You.
For me, my days and nights are too much,
but for You, my million of years are but meagre,
comparable to a small dewdrop in an unlimited and immense ocean.
I have come in the stream of Your effulgence
and float with the force of Your pull.
I exist in Your flow of love,
as though I had no existence of my own.

The lotus and lily bloom due to Your pleasure.
You bring fresh greenery to the desert.

O stealer of mind,
in whose mental garden,
did You secretly pick flowers this spring?
Along with their honey,
You carried away those flowers,
leaving behind the hard stalk only.
Having me constantly think of You,
You continue the divine play,
without ever talking to me.
By the vibration You bring into whatever expression,
the cakor bird of my mind is intoxicated.
You are my companion since time immemorial.
The string of Your love spreads onto an infinite path.
It keeps me bound and wipes off my tears.
Hence in Your ideation, I remain totally absorbed.

Amidst the coming and going of clouds,

but I am unable to see You.
Tell me with what song I should call You.
You exist in stars and in the moon.
You exist as fountain of effulgence.
You are in the seen and in the unseen,
providing consciousness to those in drowsiness.
You exist in the mirror of maya.
You are within black hair
and in the jewel necklace of love,
pulling all with rhythmic oscillations.

Come, come into my heart.
I cry for You in my dark house.
So, come with light.
You are the only light in this darkness.
The sky and the world are black with darkness.
During this darkness of the black night,
smile with golden effulgence,
into the core of my mind.
Through the bright gaps of dark clouds,
awaken beauty in my unit mind.
Removing all lamentations and pains,
appear in the firmament of my mind.

You never wanted to take anything
but You have taken my all.
I never wanted to give anything,
but realised that I have given You my all.
You kindled light
and illuminated my dark heart.
What an experience You gave!
By Your light, the stars, the moon
and the nebula shine,
filled with Your realisation.
Because You are there,
I survive,
in this festivity full of love.
By Your name,
all the three worlds dance.
What vibration Your song carries!
You never wanted anything,
and gave everything to all.
You are the essence and nectar of survival.

whisper throughout the world.

Days pass, time flows.
Does anyone ever keep track of it?
Tell me who,
on this beginningless and endless screen,
creates history?
My coming and going revolves around You only.
Due to the love-filled tears in my eyes
I do not recognise You well.
Yet, it is unto You
that I must steer the boat of my life.
Irrespective of whatever pride of wisdom I may have,
I think in the solitude of my mind,
that nothing else belongs to me,
that all is Yours,
and that permanent peace lies within You only.

Who are You who came kindling light in my darkness,
during this post autumnal, prewinter period?
You came on a silent night, playing sweetly.
There is none else I could have called my own.
None else was there to wipe my tears of agony.
Extending both Your hands,
You wiped the tears from both my eyes,
instantly making me forget my pain.
Who is that beloved one?
Till today I do not know,
and neither does my mind want to get introduced to him.
But this much do I know:
that You are with me,
that You were with me
and that You will remain with me,
within and beyond the periphery of time.

Tell me, what is this load of agony that you carry?
Who has given You sorrow?
Who is that merciless one,
who, even after hearing you,
does not understand you?
Your eyes are covered by your hair,
and lie, as if stolen, in the centre of the lotus.

by an unknown and unintelligible thread of love,
binds all in the tears that flow down the eyes.

in the hope that You may come.
For how many ages our relationship has been going on,
I do not know
and neither will I know in future.
There is no third person to understand it in any way.
This intimate relation of ours
is of ota yoga, the union of individual association.
Language fails to express our closeness.

You are the bottom of the unfathomable depth of the ocean.

Who is that foreigner,
who with so much love,
inundates my sorrows with sweetness?
During my leisure hours,
when I am alone,
I see His love in the crimson colour.
Within actions too,
I become absorbed in Him,
whenever I think of Him.
He does not forget me
even if I forget Him.
With His viina and His tinkling twang,
He reminds me.
With the charming expression of awakening,
my life flows into hundreds of flows.

Where is the terminus of this path?
There is neither start nor end to it.
Where lies its origin
and where does it lead to?
Who is that hidden pioneer?
Even after so much search, He is not seen.
This much though I do know,
that He is nearby.
Why then does He not come into my fold?
He does not clearly tell what He wants.
Nor does He reveal Himself.
What does He do on arriving?
He does not come within philosophy and science.
My intellect finds Him hard to understand.
Hence, other than His grace there is really no remedy.

Those who are close by,
You push them away.
And those who consider You far,
You pull them close.
You cover the moonlit sky with clouds.
You cover the green land with meteorites.
You place the sweet lotus in muddy water
and to disappointed hearts, You bring rays of hope.
Looking at this divine game,
I long to see the embodiment of this game,
But in this illusive game,
I do not attain Him.
From within a secluded forest,

O Lord,
You came at such untimely hour.
The whole day through I had been calling You,
stubbornly keeping my door open.
Could You not hear my call?
Even after hearing it,
You did not pay any attention to it.
Tired of the whole day,
I slept imagining being on Your lap.
And it was then that You came in the darkness.
It might have been my adamancy.
I might not have had the merit to attain You,
Yet, with the hope of obtaining Your grace,
I had called You.
You then mercifully came to me.

I have remained on Your fresh, green and soft lap.
O controller of all, O ultimate shelter,
what is the purpose of becoming acquainted with You?
I am Yours and You are mine.
In this world, this stands as only essence and truth.

I do not know You,
but You know me.
You direct from behind the scenes of this divine game
but I stand in the clear and broad daylight.
You are vibrant within this divine game of light and shade.
Desirous of knowing the truth,
I continue to beg for Your grace.
Those within You,
remain intoxicated by You.
Your sky and air
are embodiments of Your effulgent love.

O dear one,
kindle the light in my dark home.
The seat has been spread in the darkness,
just see and sit down.
My eyes have been eagerly awaiting You ages since.
Look at them with a smile and fulfil the entirety of their hope.
There is neither big nor small around You.
There is neither agony of desire nor attainment.
You are complete and perfect.
Keeping me absorbed in sweetness,
I do not fear getting lost.

Into which garden did You pour out Your love,
the floral garden or the mental garden?
The flower buds are now blooming,
and dance unmindfully to Your rhythm.
Their petals are filled with Your honey.
They adore You each moment,
pouring out the sincerity of their heart,
and the perfection of their love.
When You arrived with mental fragrance,
and Your touch kissed the firmament of my mind,
Your selfless effulgence scattered in the infinite.

I floated the boat of songs
unto the ocean of melody.
It is to move towards You
by dint of Your attractive force.
Forgetting the distinction between own and others,
the song oscillates on.
Merging into that oscillation,
I oscillate the whole world.
O adorable and dear one,
one worth remembering at all times,
provide directions to Your light,
as gift of charity.

You came, conveyed a new message,
kindled light and aroused a new consciousness.
Those who were in deep sleep forgetting You,
in them, You aroused inspiration.
When darkness comes down to the earth,
and the message of humanity lies in the dust,
You awaken effulgence
and by Your Grace, consciousness arises.
O embodiment of mercy,
O one beyond darkness,
You never speak about Your glories.
You remain silent hidden within my core.
You never stop whatever resistance You may face.

Sitting by the path of Your arrival,
I look on, counting days.
I move on, floating shyly through the wind,
thinking only of Your attributes.
I am unable to understand Your characteristics,
whatever style You may express Yourself with.
What a song of Yours is this
that You do not come to me,
that You do not appear to me face to face?
I keep enumerating Your glories and affection,
but at the time of action,
I find You to be otherwise, the opposite.
Nobody can call this love,
Your acting like a motionless stone in the garden.

On a moonlit night,
alongside the moon,
I thought of You
and found You with Your rhythm and song.
You pour light into the pitch black darkness of my “I” feeling.
Though there is imbalance in me,
You love me wholeheartedly.
From my mouth comes one thing
and in action appears another.
I act like a poison-filled jar
with sweets on top.
You know how to love.
You accept and consider all Your own.
You pull and bring the distant ones close,
without ever entertaining discriminating preferences.

to revolve around Your creation?
That revolution has not ended till today,

I have come from You
and will return back to You.
Forgeting You,
I have become intoxicated with this materialistic world.

The boat of white clouds floats on into the blue sky.
Down below lies the young grass,
amidst a mesh of tall grasses and shrubs.
Winter says,
"I have come kissing the soft and cool dew and the snow.
Those who come to me, will also be stirred by me.
I have brought with me a bouquet of shefali flowers,
full of fragrance.
In the silent night,
in this isolation,
I thread the garland of songs."

During this winter night,
under the play of moonlight,
tell me, whose events remain awake in my mind?
Who is that unknown one,
who has taken away all my shyness and fear?
Will He not come again and love me?
And should He come this time,
will He not enter my mind?
Will He not weave a web of stories,
and capture my heart with new sensations?
I survive for Him only.
All my hopes centre around Him.
Without reason, I cry and laugh, full of ego.
And in newer and newer styles,
I sing my timeless songs.

I cannot understand.
Even after recognising You,
You pretend to forget and ignore me.
I die crying, holding on with inner hope,
that You may look at me with open eyes.
The bough of a mango tree bends with load.
How much quality of politeness it has learnt!
Make me more polite than that,
by giving me the dust of Your feet.
Even should You forget,
that is no harm.
I do not pray for You to keep me in Your mind.
Just keep me close to You.
Do not close Your eyes,
and make me forget the pain that You have given me.

You do not appear in the smile of the moonlight.
You provide soothing balm on pains in times of darkness.
Everyone knows that You love all.
Everybody accepts that You think for all.
All reasoning is but to strengthen love,
to love You in a better way.
You are beginningless, O Lord,
and Your abode is infinity.
In all the twelve months
You are always with me,
in both pain and pleasure.
You are the divine shelter of everyone.
You are the very life and soul of all.
You pull everyone close to You.

I had never thought You could be so close.
I had gone on pilgrimage,
traversing forests and mountains,
but did not find You anywhere.
O divinity,
You perform Your divine game,
and look down on me as a very meagre entity,
giving me a crooked smile.
When I am lying down fatigued,
You lift me on Your lap.
I then find You closer than I could have ever imagined.
From within Your mind,
You observe all,
and witness all activities.
You purify even those
ceaselessly inflicting burns and injuries on others.
And yet, You never forget.

Dear Lord,
that winter night,
You came to my home,
oblivious of the path.
I had no hope for Your arrival ever to take place,
at the door of this poor person.
I could not get the time to decorate my home.
I could not thread a garland from of my mental flowers.
I could not sketch any welcoming signs,
neither on the water jar,
nor on the altar,
nor on the path of Your arrival.
I have now understood,
that this visit of Yours is simply due to Your causeless mercy.
I do neither know the invocation mantra,
nor do I know how to say 'goodbye'.
Hence, I expect You to stay forever.

Thinking of You,
my days pass by.
Do not You hear and understand this?
At times I wish not think of You anymore,
as You do not respond to my longing.
Then again I think
that I should ideate on You once more.
Even if after all these ages,
You did heed my call.
Irrespective of whether You love me or not,
why don't You just come closer?
Flashing my core it dawns upon me
that whatever You do,
it all simply is but Your mercy.

You came,
loved me,
and taking my mind,
You left.
For You, my tears flow.
Why did You do this to me?
In the daytime, I think of You.
At night, I experience You pinching my core.
Why do not You understand the restlessness of my heart?
Why did You come
and why did You leave?
Why did You love me?
By the path of Your departure,
onto the floral lane,
You poured out Your fragrance.

In search of You,
my whole life through,
I wandered about.
Do not You know that?
Forgetting all drowsiness,
with tearful eyes,
I continued calling You.
Yet, You did not hear me.
I searched You on forest lanes.
I wanted You in the desert mirage.
I looked for You in the glories of places of pilgrimage.
You did not see nor understood me.
Only one quality in You do I could recognise,
that even after listening, You pretend not to hear.
You know, and yet You still maintain unawareness.
What delusion! Do not tell me otherwise.

Nobody knows during which golden period,
holding on to the flow of melody, You came.
Intoxicating minds,
fulfilling hearts,
unknown to all,
You poured forth intuition.
How much time has since passed?
How many streams merged into the ocean?
And how many flowers bloomed thereafter
and again withered away into the depth of time?
Of it, there exists no account.
Since then, I sit and wait for You,
counting moments and seconds.
With the wounds of fatigue,
I lie into sleep,
with nobody understanding my agonies.

In the silent night,
alongside the moon,
I wanted You in my nest.
Please look at me at least once.
Into my heart and with Your song,
a turbulent tide has risen.
I have no right,
and therefore secretly request You.
My arrogant mind does not listen and wants only You.
This desire of mine is not infinite
but will be quenched only after it attains the infinite.
The earth revolves around desire and attainment,
around that meeting with the unknown.

Yet, I could not find You.
I studied various scriptures
but failed to arouse intuition.
Knowledge and intellect come by Your mercy.
Affluence and achievement are obtained by Your grace.
If You so desire, a flower will bloom in the desert
and fill this earth with its sweet fragrance.
We are but a ball for You to play with.
In Your mental world,
we keep working.
Forgetting Your path,

and in a instant,

on the peak of the mountain?
Please come down quickly
and graciously look at the downtrodden humanity,
lying in the dust.
Human beings have forgotten that they are human beings.
They are floating useless and imaginary balloons into the sky.
Please come and awake those who,
due to the extreme influence of avidya maya, due to ignorance and due to vanity,
have lost their senses.
In Your mind there should not arise any dilemma
about whether or not the opportune moment has come.
This creation has been formed by You,
and You Yourself will have to save it.
The time for descending unto this earth has come.
Now row the boat of humanity in the proper direction.
You will have to hold the oars in Your own hand.

You came without telling anybody,
and without informing anybody You departed.
I had so many more songs,
in so many rhythms to sing to You.
I could never have imagined
that You would come to me like this,
and that You would suddenly leave me this way,
leaving me amidst tears.
Hundreds of flowers bloom out of the dust of the earth.
Into the innermost core of each of these flowers,
You poured infinite sweet nectar.
Suddenly, You came without telling anyone;
and You left without notice.
I had so many more song to sing to You,

I could never have imagined

Into the innermost core of each of these flowers
You have poured infinite sweet nectar,
filling all beings with on this earth with devotion.

where You came from,
or which place You left for.
Tell me why night comes after day,
and darkness reappears after light.
At times of distress,
when one feels eclipsed by pessimism,
rays of hope eventually reappear in one's eyes.
Suppressing, condemning, praising and repenting,
You provide inspiration to move forward.
The flow in the stream swiftly runs unto an unknown ocean.
It flows with momentum and belief,
carrying a distant melody,

Between You and me lies immense obstruction,

I do not want You to come down,
but neither do I want You to smile from afar.
I only want You to pull me up

I had remained engrossed in materialistic enjoyment,
concerned only with my own self,
without bothering to look at whatever direction.

I wanted You in the lamp of my life.
You exist, hence I exist,
like a sweet niipa flower, delivered by You.
You are the origin of the stream of effulgence.
Within You all are unified.
You are the foundation of all worlds,
adorned with fruits, flowers, fragrance and incense.
O eternal and dear friend,
You are adored by all.
You fill this world with humanity's charming beauty.

O beloved of all,
accept my salutation.
Looking for You,
my days pass by.
Come close,
O foundation of all.
You are not to be found in places of pilgrimage, in forests,
in incantations, in mantras of prayer, or in solicitations.
You reside within my mind,
hiding secretly,
and uttering from within this call of mine.
O king of kings,
O emperor,
remove all my shyness and fear.
My mental peacock dances today,
as it looks at You.

O Lord,
this request I have at Your lotus feet,
that You may guide my mind along the path of light.
If ever I am surrounded by hopelessness,
please hold the lamp of hope in front of me.
If at any time,
fear, shyness, or hatred obstruct my path,
bring consciousness with a thundering voice.
Whenever my mind becomes intoxicated by crude, sensuous pleasures,
awaken sleeping humanity within me.
I shall move along Your path that I may not get trapped in negativity.
On this path, You Yourself, please be my guide.

At the end of the darkness,
the morning sun smilingly said,
“I have come.
Why fear?
I have brought light.
The darkness of the night was fearful.
Now all the noxious and ferocious beasts
with terrible teeth, have gone.
Hope has arisen.
I have filled the world with light.
Nobody needs to fear.
Light comes after darkness.
Listen,

It is not easy to understand Your divine game.
What synthesis of contradictions it contains!
Accepting defeat,
You appear to those who surrender.
What divine and playful flow!
What smile of love!
When in tears, You smile.
And when in pain, don't You indicate an even bigger smile?
I won't say anything anymore.
Whatever You want, please do.
Only this much do I request,
that You shower Your blessings upon all.

You were with me,

and I know that You will never be far away from me.
During darkness,
You provide the boon of blessings and fearlessness (the Varabhaya Mudra).
During light, You dance with joy.
You remain ever engrossed in creation, sustenance and destruction.
I shall never keep You far from me.
You remain ever mingled with all,
You fill auspicious thoughts with inspiration,
You arrange for melody,
and for the language of songs.
Leaving You, I do not remain.

I retained it all on my mental plate.
I cannot forget the event of that day,
when my heart became coated with love.
I maintain my mental flower soft with love,

Your effulgence flashes my mind.
You listen to the feelings of all

into my garden of flowers,
filling up Your basket
without uttering a word?
I could not ask You to come in and take Your seat,
neither could I welcome You in the canopy.
When I had called You, You did not come.
Coming now without being called,
You silently entered my mental garden.
Without announcing Yourself,
and with a sweet smile,
You became engrossed in plucking flowers.
I could not understand Your divine game.
Why did You continue playing with my mind?
In my garden,
hiding from me,
You swung the vibration of love.

the footsteps of Your arrival.

You came,
pulled me close to You
and coloured my mind
with Your colour.
All that had been due to me,
You gave.
You gave even that which I did not deserve.
I had mixed with that which is inanimate,
thus forgetting You.
You eventually brought consciousness to me.
You made me understand,
by what actions,
the ultimate objective, the human base,
can be attained.
There was nothing for me to calmly own,
there is no sadhana for that.
But Your grace showered down upon me
and my eyes opened up.
I realised it had been my mistake
to have forgotten You.

The dark night is ending.
A new sun smiles in the eastern sky.
The mist of the mind clears
and hope arises.
In the sweet air,
a grave and sonorous voice resonates:
"Do no longer sleep!
All get up!
Many jobs are left pending in the festival of life!
Remove the obstacles with resolute conviction and firm hope.
I have come to this earth for a limited period only,
Within that period, we are to complete much.
If time passes in lethargy and pleasure,
how the vow can be fruitful?"

I love You even though I do not see You.
I hear about You from others.
You bring light into darkness.
You know how to pull others close.
You want to rectify all sinners.
O Lord of all!
Unseen One!
One without blemish!
Kindle the light of auspiciousness in the core of my mind.
Whatever wrong path I had treaded,
whatever wrong actions I had performed,
the repentance of it all,
please remove today.
I shall continue doing Your work.
I shall remain Your own.
And always within You,
I shall attain the glory of life.
Your greatness is my asset.
with which I shall move on,
always looking forward.

No matter whether on the right or on the wrong path,
He remains with us and we will meet Him.
Therefore we are now able to see the beacon of light.
None amongst us is ever alone.
He is with us and this He lets us know.

On this wintry moonlit night,
I long for You in solitude.
With just a wee bit of Your divine grace
my desire can be fulfilled.
Neither have I the energy nor the strength,
nor any claim or merit
to deserve You.
And therefore, I openly ask for Your grace.
O ocean of mercy,
You fixed the path.
In it, You bestowed bondage and liberation.
Under Your shelter,
with the power of Your mantra,
I will be moving on Your path.
How much is there in the hands of human beings?
The universe moves by Your mercy only.
Whoever gets that wee bit of grace,
attains the whole world.

Neither does it get any honey from the bees.
Come and bring spring,

Fly it high into the sky,

You know the sincere longing of my heart.
You bring rhythm to my core.
Beyond that rhythm, limits merge into the Cosmic.

If due to the scorching sun,
you are no longer able to bear the heat,

How far away from me You exist,

You are beyond thought or language.

You know how to smile and love.
Through song after song,

It is possible to know and realise You
by the effulgence of Your divine love only.
To realise You,
worldly knowledge and intellect are of no use,
for everything happens by Your grace.
Though human beings know much,
their knowledge is limited.
In a limited frame,
their intelligence is likewise limited.
You are eternal.
Everything of Yours is unlimited
and vibrates with Your effulgence.
Why then do human beings become egotistic
and, forgetting reality,
brag about their greatness,
using haughty, high sounding talks
to cover up
their own ignorance, hypocrisy and foolishness?
By Your mercy,
You awaken consciousness in them too.

You are the eternal entity,
O Lord.
Everyone else exists by Your grace only.
By Your colour, beauty and affection,
and with Your inspiration,
all are dancing.
You kindled the lamp of life,
and kept decorated the tray of flowers.
Through times of agony,
or smiles of joy,
all survive by Your grace.
O Lord,
You are forever with me.
Within my small unit heart
You are the vast.
Amidst gusty winds and the roar of clouds,
all beg for Your fearless shelter

If You do not love me
then there is no harm
but please at least come close.
If You do not like to sit in my little hut,
then at least just step inside and smile softly.
O Lord,
everyone longs for You in their heart.
And modestly, I do too.
If You do not wish to listen to my prayer
then just come close
and tell me this much:
'I do not love you even a pinch.'
I shall keep singing Your song,
with my heart absorbed in You,
ever meditating on You.
And You won't be able to tell me this:
that I have not wanted to sit for Your meditation.

You show the path of effulgence to all.
By mere virtue of intellect and superficial knowledge,
You cannot be realised.
When I feel that I may have understood You,
I realise then and there that I am in the dark.
When I surrender my everything unto You,
then only do I feel that You reside in my mind.
I call You desperately during nights of suffering
burning with the fire of worries, repentance and afflictions of the heart.
Amidst all these sufferings,
with a crying heart,
I call You desperately.
And I then feel that,
in the core of my heart,
You secretly reside.

In the evening sky,
amidst the soft breeze,
who is that You,
who came into my mind?
I could not recognise You,
nor know or understand,
the reason behind it.
Confining myself to my own self,
I had forgotten You,
hiding my all defects.
But I saw,
in the mirror of Your nail,
that You know all events of my life.
I know now that nothing can be hidden from You,
that all secret thoughts enter Your ears.
Within and without everyone,
You remain in a sweet mental garden.

When in the distant past did You come?
I have forgotten the day and time.
Into which depth did it all sink down?
I keep of it the load of memory only.
The record of that past
is not written in history.
Neither does it appear as a character’s shade,
nor would a line on a page indicate it.
That past survives within my mind,
as my tears soak the garland of love.
That past will never return.
That combination full of flowers of love
will not come back.
Only You exist,
kissing the sky and earth.
And that is why
I express my salutations to You,
hundreds and hundreds of times.

You remain awake.
By the force of what sort of auspicious Mantra,
was cimmerian darkness dispelled!
What did not exist
came into existence, vibrant with life.
Into dances and songs
You poured unbound energy.
Into silence,
You poured speech.
Into inert matter,
consciousness.
Into everything,
You infused progress and prosperity.
With pleasure and joy,
the earth became filled.
By Your limitless compassion,
and immeasurable affection,
You have tied all with the rope of love.

Come silently and secretly into my home
and break my deep slumber.
If, forgetting work,
I doze off, lying flat fast asleep,
with a loud voice and call,
wake me up!
Over the bakul flowers spreads a forest path.
The rising sun (Parama Purusa) smiles and tells me:
“I am there with you,
within and without the limitations of time.
Keep this assurance always with you in your mind.
Due to raindrops,
one corner of the sky is rainbow coloured
and weaves a charming web.
Yet, this is not the truth.
The sun only is reality.
To this eternal fact, listen.”

Forgetting You under the spell of delusion,
I had spent my time on earth.
Due to some enchanting call,
I could not listen to my well wisher.
When darkness had descended onto my life
and I had lost faith in everyone,
I then started asking You
to come and save me from that situation.
Though I did not attain the requisite awareness in time,
I know that You are for all.
Kindly pull me unto You
and make me Your own.
Stay with me during pain and pleasure.

When You came,
the lane on the path of Your arrival
was covered with bakul flowers.
Amidst intoxicating fragrance
a flow of songs emerged.
That lane still remains.
But the flower petals have now mixed with dust.
All fragrance has disappeared.
And what was once there has been forgotten.
The bakul tree still survives.
It weeps,
carrying within the history of that event.
On the tear filled lane
are heard songs of solitude.

I searched for You in the forest
and on the mountain peak.
Evening comes and my days pass by.
You did not respond nor did You listen to my feelings.
I cannot understand what sort of heart You have.
I searched for You in flowers, in nectar
and in every pollen of grain.
I could not find You,
nor did You appear to me.
Please tell me where You are.
How many places of pilgrimages have I visited?
How many rivers and oceans have I taken holy dips in,
searching You?
In none of these places could I find peace of mind.
My thirsty heart keeps shedding tears.
Finally I understood and found You within my mind.
In a small corner of my mind
I have seen the spark of Your divine light.
It is through the pure mind that Your effulgence shines.
.....................................................................
In the forest and on the mountain peak
I have searched and searched for You.
The day passes by and evening darkens.
Yet, You did not respond
nor did You listen to my call.
The burden of my heart is not removed.
(How is Your heart? I cannot understand it.)
I searched for You in flowers and in nectar.
In every particle of pollen I sought You.
I did not find You anywhere
nor could I catch hold of You.
You did not come and tell me where You were.
I wandered through different places of pilgrimage.
How many are lakes, rivers and seas
in which I did not bathe?
With no ritual of immersing my body in water
could I find peace of mind.
My heart still remains unquenched
and my eyes pour out tears.
At last I realised and attained You in my mind.
I saw the sparks of Your light
in the recess of my mind.
You can be realised only within the mind.
In a pure heart only does Your effulgence shine forth.

We were introduced to one another
on the beach of golden sand
where series of waves
dance resonantly over the ocean.
I was sitting on the sandy shore,
unmindfully,
passing time and counting the stars.
I could have never imagined
that I would find You.
You came silently and suddenly,
and won my mind and heart.
Coming close,
You whispered into my ears,
“I am with you at all times”.

You exist as the playful bliss in all the minds of all.
You dance with overwhelming love
in everyone's inside and outside.

My days pass by, by Your grace only.
Taking Your name and singing Your song,
I move on, on this worldly path,
as per Your desire.
I love You.
With Your name,
I laugh and cry.
To do Your work,
O Lord,
I come onto this earth again and again,
to do whatever You intend me to do.
The commentaries on scriptures, philosophy and science
do not attain You.
Everything happens according to Your desire.
Everything happens due to Your mercy.

Your time does not come.
Arranging a seat for You has become useless,

The tray has been filled with charming tunes.
All the sweetness of my mind I have poured out.

I have threaded my garland

On this festival of light,
all want You.
In Your thought,
all become filled with sincere devotion.
I know that You are close.
Although I accept that You are in my life
my mind won't listen
and looks for You with restless and eager eyes.
You listen to everyone.
You understand the sincerity of all.
Descend unto this earth
with a smile and overflowing nectar.

I call You through song after song.
I see You within my heart and my mind.
My mind won't be satisfied by anything else.
With Your attractive force, pull me unto You.
The thousands of aspirations that were inside my mind
have combined and become the same colour.
Losing their individuality,
and meditating on You,
O Dearest,
they have merged into one.
Amidst inanimate objects,
You are the sole consciousness.
Amidst innumerable molecules,
You are the enchanting mind.
All coming and going is but to satisfy You.
It is unto You that I move with love.

To satisfy You,
my song floated with tunes, melody and rhythms.
By satisfying You, my mind found fulfilment.
You have loved all.
Heavenly effulgence has descended.
The earth has attained realisation of life.
By Your touch language emerged,
with new illumination and new melody.
Your chariot moves through the seven colours,
swinging the world with rhythms and beats,
taking all along,
within and beyond the periphery of time,
within and beyond thought.

Do You ever listen to what I sing for You,
to the events of my heart and mind?
Whatever feelings arise in waves,
attain form as language.
From the core of my being,
all longing emerges.
The winter jasmine flower shivers,
brazen faced and with shyness,
due to the events that I speak out, opening my mouth.
Does it reach Your ears at all,
this hidden history of mine?
I have longed for You throughout my life,
and will do so even after death.
For You,
my tears flow,
silencing all my talkativeness.
/
as all my talkativeness becomes dumb.

and I understand in the core of my heart that
“You are mine and I am Yours”.
Having forgotten You,
I was floating about shorelessly.
I fully accept my blunder and fault.
Can milk be without whiteness?
Can festivity be with afflictions and mourning?
The world is Yours
and You are everyone's essence of essences.
All aspire for Your grace.
You pervade water, land and Cosmos.
With love, beauty and colour,
You fill the earth.
Following You, longing for You,
all dance, surrounding Your feet.

The messenger from heaven came and told,
“I have come.
Having seen sorrow and understood pain,
I came rushing along.”
He adds,
”Why human beings get involved in mutual fighting
I do not know.
Whatever natural wealth there is,
is for all.
I have given as per the requirements,
in a measured way.
O human beings,
remember you all are for all
and all belong to you.
Your existence, life and death
is for the progress and need of all.
O devotees,
know that you belong to only one family of human beings.”

O Lord,
bestowing Your grace,
though I had neither skill, knowledge, intellect nor capability
to satisfy You.
To Whom the world is subservient,
to Him there is not dearth of place.
This is Your grace only.
I am full of gratitude to You.
Prayer and solicitation do not satisfy the mind.
You are the fathomless and vast consciousness.
I wonder how and why You love me.

What is this divine play
that You conduct throughout the bustling universe
and entertain in Your mind?
Somewhere You destroy,
elsewhere You create.
You pull a person
to withdraw him/her back into Your mind.
There is no beginning of this creation.
Neither there is any end to it.
O Eternal One.
From the droplets of water to the great ocean,
You intoxicate all in a cosmic dance.
You make all understand
that attaining You with logic and reasoning,
no matter how much effort is put into it,
is beyond capacity.

O Beloved, O Beloved!
When You will come, I do not know.
When I think that You have forgotten me,
You come and tell me “I have not forgotten you”.
I search for You,
in the sky, in the air, in the stream
but I fail to see You anywhere.
And due to hopelessness,
tears roll down my eyes.
You remain hidden within my mind itself
and secretly observe.
When I talk to You,
You remain dumb.
And when I remain dumb,
You call me.

Is it not that You also do so?
Though I call You,
You do not respond, O Lord.
Keep in mind that we call it a mistake.

who does not know who is its own -
You make him/her cry and weep.

When my mind becomes inactive in the dark house,
You pour forth illumination.
I want You close to me,

If You love me,
step forward,
carrying with You the lighting torch.
You are the most ancient of all times.
You are eternal and ever new.
The anticipation of meeting You anew intoxicates me.
By making me realise You with my heart and mind,
You destroy darkness.

Why, I do not know.
I had no merit.
I had only ignorance and a poor outlook.
I could see within my mind,
Your coming and going,
as You removed the dark curtain.
You told me,
"Look at me.
Perform my sadhana."
I have today forgotten the date,
but kept Your words stitched tightly to my mind.
Day and night,
during light or darkness,
they provide me with inspiration.

and call You with all my heart.
But tell me with what tunes and wordings
I ought to do it?
Having mistakenly forgotten You,
I had moved on the wrong path,
oblivious of my real self.
There is no end to You,
not even at the furthest point in the distant sky.
I am unable to find Your end,
for You vibrate within and beyond

To Your grace,

And that is why

there is no existence,
for You are the brilliance in every lamp.

You reside within the mind itself.

In this world.
You have no comparison.
You have charmed everyone,
O Great One.
And therefore, I sing of Your glory.
You filled nothingness with everything that exists.
You filled total silence with resonant sound.
The cimmerian darkness ended.
The trumpet of victory was blown.
Into inert, inanimate existence,
the vibration of life came.
The formless gem came into fold as form.
The periphery of time was demarcated.
All this, due to You alone.

Alas, due to this prolonged disappointment,
tears flow from my eyes,
and yet, You do not even give a glance.
Dark clouds cover the (sun)light.
They cover even the moon and the stars.
Why don't You let me see

You can do anything

Do fill the world,

What is this coming and going of Yours?
Whatever You had brought with You,
You left it all behind.
You did not even take
that which You had told You would take.
Carrying with me flowers,
I cry today.
I have broken and thrown away
my self-threaded garland.
My offerings of songs however,
I am unable to discard.
In them are contained experiences full of feelings.
Sweetness flows in the flow of tears.
Greenness and freshness have wither in the desert heat.
A mental garland of pearls is being kept threaded.
I shall preserve it within my mind.

When You were alone,
when nobody had yet come onto this earth,
none was there in front of You,
looking at whom something could have been told.
There was neither sky nor air.
There was neither sadhana nor spiritual attainment.
In the silence of total detachment,
where had You been staying?
To remove the inconvenience of remaining in solitude,
You became many from One,
and ever since,
You dance on restlessly.

Whatever anyone thinks in his or her mind,
You hear it all.
No one can hide anything from You
neither in darkness nor in light.
Unbeknown, everything enters Your ears.
The sounds that are emitted from the sky,
be they soft or vibrant,
unheard by the grass even,
all come floating to Your ears.
You indiscriminately listen to it all.
The brutal and thunderous cruel voice,
the heartfelt expression of the devotee,
You simultaneously listen to,
through both Your ears,
each moment,
each second.

I had never thought about others.
I had only thought about myself.
Even after having come in contact with Your world,
I had kept You away.
You provided water,
sunlight, shade, and the nectar of life.
Though You gave everything,
without ever wanting anything in return,
I had forgotten You.
You showed the way to attain You.
You taught the song that breaks inertia.
By Your pull,
I obtain momentum
with which I move towards You.

O Embodiment of Consciousness,
You arrived this morning,
alighting from the chariot of colourful light.
I could not recognise You,
and neither did You introduce Yourself.
You were hiding within my mind,
embedded within my existence.
Looking for You within my mind,
I recognised You as the embodiment of mind itself.
In the arena of dreams,
on a moonlit night,
I floated in Your stream.
And in that stream,
You appeared to my eyes.
O Embodiment of Effulgence.

Casting aside darkness,
You entered the pilgrim place of light
You removed from the mind,
its sombre frightfulness.
You filled the world with crimson colour,
letting nectar flow through dances and songs.
Whatever could be imagined,
and whatever could not be imagined,
You both fulfilled.
The anxiety in the minds of human beings,
the fear of losing everything,
with the light of lightning,
You momentarily and joyfully removed.

The creatures of night bring darkness.
You bring light.
You have removed
the dark clouds that had been covering the moon.
Whatever the increase in the load of sin,
that covers sweetness,
by pouring forth effulgence,
You removed all burden
and washed away blackness.
And that is why all want You,
and within You, attain everything.
You exist, hence all exist.
You came of Your own accord rushing forth.

the old has gone.
This new is my Eternally New One.
He is with me day and night.
He is with me,
fulfilling my life.
Only perishable ones become old.
For the Eternally New there exists no end whatsoever.
There is no coming and going for Him at any time.
He remains new always.
This new is within my mind.
Searching Him in the outer world
days pass by in vain.
Wandering about to far off places of pilgrimage
is but a waste of time.

There is no comparison to You in the universe.
Neither is there any comparable example in heaven or earth.
Your glory is beyond everything,

Into the floral garden,
unmindfully,
an angel has come.
Searching honey in the petals,
it has roamed about the whole day.
Though petals are there, there is no honey.
Though the sky is there, there is no moon.
The petals want their honey in them.
The honey says 'my petals are good'.
This mutual introducing one another of petals and angel
is not of today.
It is of time immemorial.
One loves the other.
And thus,
at the flowers' pull,
the angel has come.

Darkness has disappeared and light has been scattered,
now is the time to move forward only.
The creatures of darkness have become lifeless and fearful.
In this quiet atmosphere, let us sing songs of love.
Do not waste time looking backwards.
Thinking about past events is of no use.
Let us move ahead wholeheartedly,
forgetting desires and achievements.
The day passes in the hope of light.
Let us all move on with love.
Let us not sit and waste time.
Let us smile and row the boat towards that cherished goal.

O ever great one,

come into my mental canopy!
You do not come into fold where there is ego.
You cannot be bound by a broken silk thread.
You have kept the earth tied.
You appear in deep meditation.
It is impractical to explain You through intellect.
Neither is it possible to describe You via the heights of learning.
The delusion of language pulverises in the attempt.
Therefore, come, O Lord, into my hearing and meditation.

During this postautumnal, prewinter period,
the message of spring came into my floral garden.
With the humming of bees,
honey was created.
On the trees,
wet with dewdrops,
new leaves started swinging.
The peacock of mind,
spreading its tail,
got engaged in dance.
On the dry branch,
buds appeared,
and the yellow branches became green.
The drowsy sandal breeze
started singing new tunes.

Come in the soft and cool breeze,
with the humming sound of the bee of my mind.
Come, opening the door of my house,
with sweetness-filled, smiling eyes.
I am sitting here, waiting for You.
My days pass by counting moments.
The dark, intense nights
fill my sleep with hopelessness and pain.
You told me that it is difficult for You
to keep those who love You, away from You.
Now, tell me whether
during my sleep, dream and in my awakened state,
I love You or not.

You came at the end of the night,
removing my entire darkness.
Due to separation, my heart had been hopeless.
With Your soft hands, You broke my slumber.
I had not imagined
that You would come and keep me in Your mind.
You are vast, I am meagre.
How would the great think about me?
My days were passing in the hope of attainment.
Yet, my dark night passed in hopelessness.
With Your arrival at the end of the night,
You fulfilled my heart.
I then understood, that this was but Your grace.

The golden lotus (once) bloomed on some blue lake.
The ruby gem of hope shone in everyone's core.
In the morning, that lotus used to swing in the soft breeze.
At noon, it basked in the rays of the sun.
In the evening, the evening star had many things to say to it.
The human mind, engulfed with thoughts of killing,
could not tolerate such smiling beauty.
With a saw, on the lotus stem's soft body,
it went on injuring it.
Today, that lotus is no longer found on this earth.

You came and,
after providing a heartfelt touch,
went away.
I was in sleep,
why did You not break my slumber?
My life passed by in drowsiness, devoid of rhythm.
During my deep sleep,
I attained Your touch.
That touch was felt throughout my body.
I understand that only You are mine,
that nobody else is my own.
All forget me, but You never ever forget.

Let human beings do everything for the sake of other human beings,
and let them also remember
that animals and birds are not distant from them,
and that the trees also want to survive.
Losing their way in darkness,
why do humans cry aloud and perish?
Let our hopes,
our love,
draw everyone close to one another.
Those who are starving and uneducated,
with burnt foreheads from fiery heat,
I will take them all and give them shelter.
I will create a heaven on earth.

Today, in the moist breeze,
in momentary shyness,
my mind longs for Him only.
Eyes can listen (and be closed/turn away),
but the mind listens not.
It turns unto Him again and again.
Whenever and however much I am determined
not to think of Him anymore,
I find He possesses my mind more and more.
Forgetting Him,
I cannot survive.
What a dilemma!
If this be the condition of anyone,
timely pull Him close.
I was mistaken in keeping Him afar.
Now, I find there is no way out.

Why didn't You tell me in advance
that You would not come?
What harm is there in doing so?
In the forest, by the path of bakul trees,
I uselessly wasted my time.
I thought I would attain You closer,
and hence kept the garland of bakul flowers ready for You.
My mind remained full of honey.
Yet, all this proved useless.
After giving Your words,
why did You not keep them?
Why did You not understand my restlessness?
If You had understood the happenings in the heart of the beloved,
that would have been better.

Below this bakul tree,
You came, forgetting the path.
At that time,
all alone,
I had been threading a garland
from dropped flowers.
When I inquired about Your introducing Yourself,
You told:
”Time has not yet come.
At the suitable time
I shall definitely do that.
I meanwhile remain as your mental lotus”.
With a soft smile You further told me:
”Are you not able to recognise me?
I remain ever awake within each atom and molecule of existence,
within and beyond the periphery of time.”

You have filled trees and creepers
with fruits and flowers.
I pick and lift those fruits and flowers.
You have given me with both Your hands.

And still, You continue giving.
You have given me knowledge, intellect and implements

Enriched with Your property,
I have only ignored You.
Yet, You keep watching that, smiling softly.

says something,
listen to it attentively.
”I have seen much and heard much,
within which feelings have flashed.
Whatever I have seen or heard,
most of it, I have forgotten.
With this limited knowledge,
it is not possible to hold that BHAGAVÁN or GOD.
In that great blueness,
those who float on,
seek the vibration of the pollen of life.
That vibration comes,
rushing down the distant sky.
How is one to resolve the dilemma of attaining it close?

You came, loved, and merged with all minds.
You are the stars in the sky.
You are not darkness.
You are with me.
Looking for You,
I went on pilgrimage.
Many vows, penances and holy baths have I performed.
But I did not see You anywhere.
Not even flashes of You did I get.
You see it all and smile.
The messenger from heaven came down,
and secretly whispered into my ears:
"That touchstone will only come
when you look within your mind itself."

Different people talk differently.
Some people vainly assess with logic and reasoning.
Some people accept philosophy and science.

And only when Your wee bit of grace shall shower,

Because of my past ignorance,
I had searched for You in various places of pilgrimage,
and in difficultly accessible mountains and caves.
But I could not get satisfaction as I did not find You anywhere.
I was left with the tiredness of frustration.
I did not understand
that You are very close and intimate to one and all,
that You are nearer than one's own's self.
I was searching for You (in isolation).
This was my blunder.
My own ones would stay near and wipe off my tears of pain.
They would share their joy by bringing light that would remove darkness.
By Your grace, now awareness has come,
my mistake is rectified.
I realise that You reside within my mind.

Why hide at this time?
The sky and air look at You.
The mind is unable to understand Your divine game.
By Your light, the flowers bloom,
and the sky gets coloured.
The beauty marks on the forehead
turn all dreams colourful.
O Beloved,
appear with charming adornment,
so that in my mind,
the strings of Your viina may play.
Dancing always to Your tune and rhythm,
the life and death of everyone thus revolves.

O ocean of grace,
having forgotten You,
I floated away shorelessly.
Now bestow Your mercy upon me.
My days passed in vain without proper action
as I had forgotten Your gift to me.
You sent me onto this earth to do work,
to accomplish Your aim,
to provide beauty and colour to Your world,
to bring joy into the life of all beings.
Still some time is left in my hand.
If You shower a wee bit of Your grace upon me,
then, what cannot happen?
Everything is possible.
My only prayer is that You grant Your Varabhaya Mudra,
so that, with that strength, I shall be able to execute Your task,
singing Your song and spreading Your glory.

How much have I been calling You!
You did not listen.
You did not come.
I have heard that You listen to the feelings of the heart,
yet, You did not understand my mind.
I do not know whether You could hear or not
or whether You did not want to reply.
This may be Your divine play.
My call enters Your ears
but does not enter Your inner core.
How painful this is for me!
Please tell me who else except You is mine?
This is why I open my heart to You.

In the blue sky melodies keep floating
with rhythm and beats,
unto a far and unknown place.
There is no end to it, ever.
Neither is there obstructing pause.
The melody that arose within the unit mind,
the sound that found expression in the voice of the world,
smoothly move into the great sky without dilemma whatsoever.
That song of mine that arose in the distant past,
that immortal song,
dances on in the stream of time.
It is present even today with its tunes and meters,
in the nectarial flow of the infinite.

You are the hope in the bubbling vitality of my life.
You love overflows,
Your ecstatic expression renders me ever new.
Swarms of honey bees
constantly hover around pure honey.
All my sadhana is but to please You.
Except You, I do not want anything.
Please fulfil this desire of mine.

When darkness had come
You sounded Your ankle bell
and light came.
When the dark clouds had covered the white ones in the sky,
there blew a gust of wind
and light came.
Penance had been going on without recess,
for hundreds of ages throughout innumerable nights.
When its final oblation concluded,
You came and showered nectar.
The hopes that had been kept suppressed
within the core of the heart,
the language that had never expressed itself in beautiful adornment,
the days that had not been utilised in proper activity,
You filled it all with fruits, flowers and honey.

For You,
throughout life,
I have been singing Your song.
In that song my love lies embedded
and my memoirs are threaded.
During times of heat and shade,
the play of joy and sorrows goes on.
By that game,
by Your divine play,
I remain enchanted,
O eternal companion!
I want neither name, fame, respect nor boon.
I only want to sing Your song day and night,
ever moving unto You.

and made me leave my home.
Tell me what else You want.
I have given my all,
nothing is left with me.
Still, why do You not come?
For You, I have kept my garland threaded.
The bouquet of flowers lies in my hands.
I have continued calling You day and night.
Are You not in a position to listen?
I hear Your name on paths and shores
but in fact have never heard of where You reside.
Had I realised this earlier,
I would have brought You onto my own path.

that all accumulated darkness be destroyed.
O controller of illuminations,

show the path to those who have lost it.

and continue doing Your work with my own hands.

much have I cried,
yet, You did not come close to me.
I have told about myself,
I have listened to agonies,
and in this process,
night turned into morning.
I am left with only one agony:
Though You are mine,
I am unable to touch You.
How far, and beyond which ocean, do You remain from me?
How can I tie You with the thread of love?
Do not create delusion anymore,
O Lord.
How can I ever struggle with You?
I just love, laugh and cry for You.
In Your ideation, I am fully absorbed.

Come all,
to this festival of light.
With the light of intuition,
I am awakening the whole world.
Let us jointly work together in this great fight.
Nobody is ever distant nor disowned.
In the absence of intuition,
the near ones are considered far.
Human beings do not know their real self.
I have therefore organised this festival.
I shall not stay behind, nor look back.
I shall not allow anyone to remain behind either.
This endeavour of mine is by taking all together,
so that the concentrated, combined light,
may destroy all agonies.

I don't know whether You hear it or not.
But what can I do,
but to continue to understand their restlessness?
The light falls on the earth,
yet, it does not enter the mind.
O Lord,
by showering Your grace,
kindle light within the mind.
This is my only prayer,
O God.
You have created the cosmos with the intention of welfare.
Under Your shelter,
grant peace to all.
Why this mutual fighting,
this frittering away?
Pour out the message of immortality.

who is that You, who has come,
filling the earth with the flow of effulgence?
I do not know or recognise You.
And yet, You have captured my mind.
You remain ever engrossed in dance,
assuming multitudes of forms.
In the vibration of life, You overflow.
How can I recognise You, but by the shower of Your grace?

Alone, You show the path to all.
There is no end to descriptions of You.

Which unknown bosom did you originate from?
What sort of endlessness are you drifting towards?
You are the replica of Cosmic Consciousness that pervades the world.
Tell me what you want.
For ages and ages you have remained oblivious of your own true self,
seeking what is precious externally only.
You have never tried to look within.
Everything is ever hidden within you,
hence look within.
The Divine Entity, who is your shelter, is shelter to all too.
He knows your past and present,
and even the future is located within Him.
Yet forgetting this truth, what are you looking at?

Invoking Your name and singing Your song,
I have set adrift the boat of melody.
Springing forth from the source of love,
it has been seeking Him throughout life.
Nobody is ever alone.
This melody of mine is utterly absorbed in You.
By Your pull, and unto You,
it floats through the sky.
No retarding force or mood binds me.
All coming and going revolves around only One.
There exists permanent bondage with only One.
And, as liberating mantra, I am to remember only One.

If You do not come,
to console my mind,
what will You offer to it?
Only by adopting You, do I survive.
With the honey of flowers, and the moon in the sky above,
that sweet moon of afflicted hearts,
with a tray full of offerings for You,
I sit, awaiting You.
Whatever known or unknown exists,
it is all located within You.
By attaining You, all seeking forever ends.

A fairy from beyond the ocean has coloured my life.
Along waves after waves, It comes floating.
And along with It, songs float.
When He has called me, that date, I do not know.
I move towards Him without heeding to any obstruction.
I shall move forward, crushing all obstacles,
for He has removed my ego.
I know that He is not distant to anyone.
I have thoroughly become acquainted with Him.
Breaking the stone obstacles,
colouring myself in His colour,
I move forward, singing His victory song.

no other entity is there in this universe.
Under no circumstance do I forget this reality.
O King of kings,

You came into my mental garden and conquered my mind.
I did not want to be held captive.
I did not want to respond to Your call.
Despite this, You became the King of my mind.
There where the sky touches the far horizon,
the smile of the moon meets, adjoining.
At that terminus of our love,
the fountain of Your effulgence showers out.
I was nothing, and even now I am nobody.
I recognise only that flow of love of Yours.
I have none and nothing except You.
With the tide of Your joy, my mind is filled.

All my crying and smiling has ended,
and so has my coming and going.
By attaining You,
by taking You along,
all has been fulfilled.
My whole life I have only desired and demanded.
I never thought about giving, not even by mistake.
Today, attaining You,
I understood that within attainment lies offering.
Offering my own “I” feeling,
O Lord, to You, I attained You.
Carrying on Your divine game,
You arouse desires,
only so that all desires be wiped out.

In how many thoughts and visions beyond thought

I can see neither beginning nor end.
What for have You placed us in the middle?
You created the path, provided inspiration,
and gave intellect to understand the cherished goal.
You gave everything.
You left out nothing.
You even bestow grace to understand You.
From time immemorial,
You have been descending,
forgetting pause and abstinence.
O supreme goal!
Ultimate desire of mine!
By becoming Your instrument,
I shall decorate and beautify the world.

Come into my mental home,

I shall remain with You fearlessly.
This is my prayer at Your feet.
There is no place where You are not present.
There is no thought that is outside You.
Still, I call You to come and sit,

entering the stream of thoughts,

I do neither recognise nor know You.
Yet unseen, You suddenly won my mind.
O Cosmic Consciousness, Great Effulgence,
You are the sadhana of all, in all ages.
You vibrate desires, achievements and wills,

From sunrise to dusk,
through flowers and fruits,
Your soft glory expresses itself.
Your ever-new affection and unlimited mercy,
is understood by all in all worlds.

You told that You would come.
Why did You not come?
Evening intensifies, the day ends.
The flowers that had been kept for You have dried up.
The carefully threaded garland lies agonised in the dust.
Since morning there was hope in my mind
that You would come,
that all hopelessness would pass.
My vibrant language has become dumb.
My waiting for You has mingled with the dense fog.
O Dear, do not act like this any longer.
Do not break Your words after giving them.
The hearts that keep on counting moments, waiting for You,
about them, also please do think during Your leisure hours.

do not stay far away.
Come close,
come into my mind.
I love You more than anyone else,
and I know that You too love me.
During the moonlit nights of winter,
I hope for You,
and look at the sky
with unblinking eyes.
The swans glide with breathless vivacity,
as You smile in the moonlight.
During spring,
the breeze carries a sweet fragrance,
and looks for You in the blue sky.
The physical and psychic worlds jointly announce
that You float in the firmament of mind.

if You would leave?
This sort of coming we don't call coming.
Did You not feel sorry
for fascinating and charming my mind
for a short period of time only?
So many ages have passed waiting,
the limits of my patience have broken down.
When once You have come to me,
please always stay.
Do not tear the flowers of my hope.
People say You are the ocean of grace,
but does Your behaviour justify it?
Do You forget Your name when coming close to me?
Your honour and my pride
don't permit such duality
to come in between the two of us.

evening became dark.
The angels of heaven came rushing down, saying:
"Come along to the festival of light!"
I wander from country to country, full of love.
I carry happiness for all.
I bestow the thrill of joy, dance and laughter,
as my days pass by.
I light up the universe with my loving vibration.
I do not differentiate between small or big.
I love all.
I come to this earth, thinking of all,
and I think, seeing all faces.
My mind desires to march forward
to take all with me,

With the moist wind and the sound of storms,
You came in the form of thunder.
Whispering into my ears, You told:
“This form of mine do also look at.
I remain ever engrossed in imagination,
creating rhythms as per my choice.
Coming and going,
smiling and desiring,
for everything to function,
I have created rules within my mind.
Amidst the frightening twangs of meteorites,
my dance appears in the cosmos.
I am the King of dance.
I keep on working,
ignoring and overcoming obstructions.”

Please come into each atom of my mind.
Come with form and colour.
I have been searching You,
throughout my life,
wandering from country to country.
I could not find You anywhere,
neither in the distance nor close by.
I did not find You in any holy land,
nor over the mountain peak,
and neither when crying out in solitude.
Looking within, I realise You exist in my mind,
and observe You blooming flowers in it.
Into the recess of my mind,
You smile,
sitting invisibly on the sweet flower of my folded hands.

O Unknown Traveler,
come close.
And on coming close,
stay in my home.
Let my waiting and waking for You be fruitful.
O Dearest,
I have forgotten the day and time
when my first search for You started.
I only know that You are my inner most.
No one else exists for me in the world.
I shall continue to wait for very long,
until You tear off this web of illusion.
I shall continue thinking of You with tearful eyes,
every morning and every evening.

In which unknown past,
You created the demarcating line of light,
I do not know.
You made a path,
treading on which,
I move forward,
accepting You as my goal.
I move on untiringly,
keeping my desideratum in front of me.
Overcoming resistances and obstructions,
I constantly pull the distant ones close.
I do not know,
when my journey commenced.
Yet this much I do know:
that this is my sadhana,
my spiritual endeavour.
I do not accept anything other than my ista,
my supreme goal,
as I offer unto Him, all my sweetness.

Many times I have heard words of Your arrival,
yet I have never heard Your footsteps.
Beloved one,
come on the chariot of light,
wiping out all traces of darkness.
I am Yours.
This fact do keep in mind.
Other than You,
I do not want anything, ever!
You are everyone’s own.
You stay with all during pain and pleasure.
Other than You, there is no existence.
Nothing else is there to be known.
Around You only, all survive.

I had wished You would visit me,
even if by mistakenly forgetting the path,
but You never came.
I had no capacity to invite You,
still, I wished You would come,
be it even by negligence.
I had no golden throne,
nor a seat decorated with silken bedsheets.
And neither had I decorated the path with alpana,
hoping You would arrive by mistake.
There is no affluence of wealth in this hut of mine,
nor plentifulness of any kind, to be shown to the world.
But with a mind filled with sweetness,
I had expected You would come,
even if only by making the mistake of forgetting the path.

I did not expect anything from You,
not even that You stay in my mind.
I only sought Your blessing,
that I may move forward unto my desideratum.
You came into my mind in complete form,
with fragrance and incense,
and told that You secretly reside within everything.

by offering my entire sweetness,
just as the moon demands the earth,
by spreading its light over it.
I do not know why do not You come.
Are You not in a position to notice me?
Or did You come without looking at my mind?
I have been searching You in the outside world only,
without ever looking inside my own self.
Is it because of this that You returned,
experiencing the pain of disrespect?
This time I shall look within my mind,
where the glory of the rising sun shines.
I shall decorate You with a new adornment.
With flowers shall I decorate You this spring.

Without me noticing it, spring came into my mind
and decorated my mental garden with flowers.
In the dry and torn mind of mine, it drew a beautiful sketch.
You brought green leaves.
You filled with floral beauty
the branches that were bereft of flowers
that carried neither leaves nor buds.
The mind in which there was no honey -
the sky in which there was no moon -
in that situation,
the eternal companion came down, forgetting the path,
and carrying with Him all that which had been missing.

I have searched You in the caves of mountains
and in every molecule.
And after a lot of searching,
I am now completely fatigued and tired,
O Lord.
Yet, You have remained far.
Only when I shall attain You with full realisation
in the deep core of my mind and heart,
with my whole existence,
will my longings be quenched,
and my heart satisfied.
I find it difficult to understand
why You hide Yourself and make me cry.
I shall nevertheless continue searching You.
I shall bring You within my reach and attain You.

Why is it impossible to forget You?
When I close my eyes and see darkness,
into that darkness, You pour light.
That light makes me swing and oscillate.
The more I am determined not to see that light,
to not bring You into my mind,
and the more my ego tries to ignore You,
the more it makes me think of You.
I have heard that You reside in the mind,
leaving the mark of Your smile on the mental lotus.
Is this why,
in my inner mental mirror,
a smile appears
amidst the fainted light?

Whatever You give with one hand,
You take again with the other hand.
You make me drift along thought waves of sweetest nectar.
Although You may think secretly,
You have already conquered all.
Your secrecy is not maintained,
for all have merged in Your effulgence.
You listen to the inner stories of everyone.
You understand the agonies of all hearts.
You observe pain and pleasure, both individually and collectively.

In the flower garden a new colour appeared.
The lotus buds that had been sleeping
are now overflowing with honey.
That colourful invitation has reached each home.
Life’s vibration is felt each moment.
Layer after layer of vivacity
now fills the sky and the air.
No more crying due to darkness.
No bitterness in expression.
The language of love provides inspiration.
This illumination is the Creator’s.

Your divine play, Your liila, is ever new in beauty and delicacy.

Floating in the ocean of liila,

yet You did not come.
Why did You not come?
Understanding that I was absorbed in love,
You did not talk.
I have passed my time meditating on You.
My days pass by singing Your name.
I have rushed unto You, concentrating on You,
yet You did not reveal Yourself to me. Why not?
You are the gem in the house of ideation.
The glimpse of Your brilliance is but momentary.
So scatter Yourself about over my dark mind.
Nothing prevents You from doing so.

The crooked and frothy infatuation that gives rise to dogma,

break it courageously

Beloved,
how much longer shall I sit,
looking at Your path?
Tell me.
You remain ever busy from morning till evening,
without ever showing Yourself to me.
Your perimeter is of unlimited time
and includes earth, heaven, sky and the oceans.
I am a mere representative of limited time.
Hence, do not forget me.
I am a drop in Your ocean,
in which innumerable waves constantly arise.

You came into the garden of campaka and waited for me.
This was Your causeless grace.
My ego had been hurt
and I had kept my doors bolted.
I am unable to forget the event of that day.
Its memory produces significant feelings in my mind.
The sweet pain of hope and hopelessness
swings to and fro again and again.
That garden of campaka is still there,
but the Deity in its arena of pilgrimage has left.
Due to my basic mistake of producing a wrong thought,
the love went away.

Coming as a surprise,
that sweet spring,
finally began oscillating within.
The aspirations in the mind,
by His inspiration,
attained language.
His abode is not the floral garden.
No one keeps Him bound to a particular place.
The bee searches honey untimely and in vain.
In His mind sweetness abounds,
overflowing with beauty and delicacy.
He who goes there with love,
only he attains Him.

Thinking of You, countless days have passed.
Yet You do not come and appear in my mind,
I know that I have no proper endeavour of sadhana.
I know You love me and understand my pain
and keep my “self” close to You.
But Your love and my realisation
have not yet become one and unified.
Lift me up, shape me according to Your wish,
so that I may recognise You in a still better way.
Except You, no other entity in the universe exists.
Provide this awareness to me.

my days are passing.
The sleepless nights have merged in You,
obliterating thoughts and forms.
Many detached meteorites have fallen off.
Many swans spreading their wings have flown away.
Many matchsticks have kindled lights.
My mind no longer wants to look at them.
I have come to do Your work,
to fulfil Your expectations,
to merge in You individually and collectively,
and to shower Your nectar upon all.

I am enchanted by Your love,
O Lord,
Your attributes have no comparison.
O Lord beyond time,
O Lord beyond form,
appearing within the limits of time,
You incessantly create forms.
No one is capable of binding You.
No one can influence You by tricks and sleights.
The bondage of love for You is the real sadhana (spiritual practice).
Yet even after knowing this fact,
I forget You under the influence of moha (infatuation or blind attachment).
O Lord beyond the world,
O maintainer of the world,
all the seven strata of existence,
depend upon Your grace.
I only pray for Your kindness
that should I ever forget You,
I may not float about aimlessly.

The colourful angel suddenly appeared,
floating through the light,
and singing songs.
Covering all bitterness, pain and afflictions with sweetness, it announced:
“I have come,
having heard your call,
and understood your pain.
Whether you accept it or not,
do listen to me.
I love you.
There was once a day when no one existed
and I was all alone.
Then you all came,
became my own
and understood my restlessness.
So come with me.
I shall be overjoyed.
And through neo-humanism,
I shall take you to the heavenly abode.”

You could not be held by the mind.
You came on account of the bondage of love.
I loved You day and night,
during the blows and counterblows of life.
I loved You
in loss and gain,
both small and big,
and in every rise and fall.
You know my capacity
and accept me as being worthy of Your mercy.

You do not let Yourself be seen.
I cannot understand this play of Yours.
O vibrant consciousness,
You are the essence of life in the festivity of light!
You rush in all directions through series of waves,
without permitting the disgrace of darkness to attain You.
Through the fragrance of life,
You keep floating with endless effulgence.
Your glory and attributes are beyond my imagination.
The singular entity rushes into hundreds of directions.
O beloved ocean of great intuition,
You have scattered Yourself about endlessly.

The Prajapati (the liberated butterfly),
spreads its wings and flies off.
What for, who knows?
Today, in search of whom, does it wander about in the garden?
It has no other thought:
it always comes in the hope of getting honey,
with a free mind, a soft flow and unmindfully restless.
The colourful butterfly,
bestows a sweet glow to the core of mind.
Life’s movements overflow,
as the ankle bells of its song resound.

Who is that voyager, so difficult to attain,
whose song you keep singing?
As internal wave of all oceans,
Your victory drum resonates.
The billowy ocean dances,
as You listen to its core sound.
My acquaintance with You dates back a very long time.
In the stream of events we come together.
Through pain and pleasure,

do break my slumber.

“I won’t come close to you.
the honey in your bosom has dried up.
Whatever was yours has withered away
and is now lying in the dust.
Your glorifying assets are lost.”
The bakul flower says:
“Listen, O bee,
I am not lusty of love.
Come close,
sit near and talk.”
The bee says:
“There is no time.
I shall go in search of other flowers.
Time will be lost in talk.
There is fear of evening approaching.”
Bakul says:
“O Parama Pita (Supreme Father),
Understand my mental agony.

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.

Loving You in the firmament of my mind,
a fountain of nectar secretly and unstoppably flows out.
I had thought of forgetting,
expecting peace by avoiding.
But I observed that,
amidst the resonance of thoughts,
it is impossible to forget.
You exist and I exist,
I am oblivious of everything else.
There is no third entity,
to attract me sweetly.
You reside in the depth of my heart
as voice of my heart.
Come into my mind,
as its object of meditation,
as form to meditate upon.

O charming one,
stealer of mind,
who is that You,
coming today,
crossing the dark ocean?
I do neither recognise nor know You,
yet I know You shine by Your attributes.
Since ages, I have been sitting here expecting You,
witnessing all expressions of light and shade.
Yet You did not come close by any means,
not even as luminous moon.
I sought You by expanding my love,
in the resonating melody of lost days,
kindling the lamp of my life on its base,
in order to hold You,
again and again.

Who is He who came,
bathing me in the fountain flow of effulgence,
carrying the golden crown on His head
and colouring the floral garden?
Looking at Him, I seem to recognise,
this respectable person,
this representative of love.
He comes, scattering the ideas of different colours,
and placing His arrow on the rainbow.
When there was no colour,
where had this beauty been hidden?
Why has the effulgent entity filled life with the torch of colour?

You came into my garden at this untimely moment.
All my flowers have withered.
Their petals have dried up amidst the dust.
Once, in the garden,
there used to be flowers full of colour and sweetness.
At that time You did not come to give Your love.
It is difficult to understand Your divine play.
Will not my flowers bloom again?
Will not new and red colour appear on that which is colourless?
Will not the tree of my life become filled with tender leaves?
Will not You come, bringing with You a colourful heaven?

Why did You love me?
I had neither merit nor knowledge.
What then did You see in me
that made You shower Your grace?
You gave me sweetness of affection
and lifted me unto Your lap,
awakening my intellect.
Knowing I am helpless,
You granted me success and affluence.
You brought me on this earth,
providing me with a human body.
You filled my mind with sweet devotion.
And on top of that,
You infused in me a strong longing for You.
But now, this miserable condition of mine:
that I have forgotten You.

O formless Lord,
into the world of the ocean of forms,
You descended.
With rhythm and melody,
You pulled all close
and made them Your own.
The sky is full of stars
and the breeze blowing sweetly and gently.
By the light wind,
the tall grass swings,
as white wings are spread.
It is not easy to know You.
Only by love can You be understood.
Finding You near,
all eloquence becomes dumb.

With the rhythm of ankle bells,
on smiling days,
the charioteer of time comes as series of light rays.
The unbloomed flower buds eagerly long to attain Him,
and emanate full throat exhalations.
Whenever I think, I go astray.
He who ties the knot of love,
whispers into my ears:
“Listen through songs,
for all smile in the light.”
Where does distance exist?
None is far.
In the ocean of consciousness all mingle.
The acquaintance with the inner consciousness,
takes place within ideation.

Having heard the flute sound,
I thought that Shyama Ray (Lord Krsna) had come today.
I sit and await Him,
on the bank of my mental Yamuna river.
Numerous people came and went.
Many did not want to return.
I came alone and remained alone.
Alas, eternal companion,
You remained distant.
Will not the flow of the Yamuna river reverse?
Will it not fulfil my earnest desire of love?
Besides keeping me away from You,
what else do You think of,
performing the divine play with light and shade?

You cover them with sweetness.

Even after finding You close,
it is difficult to recognise You.
You smile softly.
You speak with love.
My mind fails to understand.
Whenever I think that I have recognised You,
that I have understood Your mind,
I realise that You have acted delusively
and from both my eyes tears flow out in pain.
I have now forgotten all that which is non essence
and understood that which is essence.
I accept defeat against Your divine play.
Now I only say:
“O pardoner of mistakes,
please shower Your grace upon me.”

appear with a smiling face,
appear in the firmament of my mind.

In the bright sky,
and the gentle breeze,
my heart incessantly longs for Him.
My restless mind does not obey,
and constantly rushes unto Him.
All the dates have become one,
resonating with His ideation.
All desires and attainments,
all giving and taking,
sing His victory song in unison.
Who is that You who has tied the knot
with a floral thread, yet remaining far?
I cannot stop this ideative sadhana
of that entity which illuminates within and beyond thought.

It is difficult to remain far.
In all my shy actions,
and when I sit secludedly,
I think of You.
When, in the garden of my heart,
all the petals were unbloomed buds,
You had stayed inside the pollen,
emanating a golden vitality.
O Beloved,
come closer,
honey has been filled in my heart
and flowers are blooming in diverse colours,
to decorate the floral garden.

What a love is this
that You have fixed a path, full of the light of hope?
The mind that was without bridle has lost itself today.
I am just a faint light of a meagre molecule,
moving day and night,
swinging to and fro between hope and despair.
Due to love and the essence of grace,
You provided new vitality to me.
You gave me more than I expected.
You poured nectar into this meagre “I” of mine.
You filled my dark prison with realisation
and gave it the effulgence of love.

O Beloved,
You always keep watch
on each and every atom and molecule.
Nothing ever remains hidden from You,
whatever be the circumstances.
What a difficult duty You have!
Even with a soft heart,
You carry a heavy load:
all samskaras (reactive momenta)
and all tanmatras (fundamental factors)
at every point in time.
When the universe had not yet been created,
displaying dance, style and rainbow colours,
in the flow of temporal change,
You existed also,
detached from all,
unknown and beyond time.

Though You poured light,
I could not see my real self.
O effulgent consciousness,
though You were in light,
I did not want to see You.
I continued seeking on earth
commodities as objects of enjoyment.
But I did not search the entity
for whom enjoyment was meant.
I saw only the action and not the real doer.
Not even did I think of the real doer.
I kept hailing the superiority of inert matter,
looking for totality in it.
Forgetting whatever You had given me,
I never treaded the path of illumination.

All darkness has vanished.
By Your grace,
the unattractive darkness of night has been coloured.
The cruel teeth of darkness are no more.
The devilish hunger of crookedness is not there.
The need to sacrifice the self has gone.
All want to dance in the ocean of effulgence.
Misunderstandings between human beings do no longer arise.
The desire to injure or kill animals has vanished,
and so has the urge to cut trees with axes.
The new humanity awakens.

coming without having been invited
through the flow of the fountain of effulgence?

Your attributes are beyond description.
Although in this universe You are the singular entity,
You have scattered Your form:
in the form of light,
in the form of a base.
Your glory is beyond reason.
You are above the three gunas,
the binding faculties.
You go on dancing kissing the sky.
O central gem of the world of ideation,
Your light shines beyond the arena of space.

You are the closest amongst the nearest.
Having forgotten You,

O dearest, my very own one!
Your love overwhelms me.
All sweetness unstoppably and essentially rushes on,
dancing and surrounding You.

There is no language to measure Your attributes.
You have scattered Yourself

You construct homes in diverse colours.

Bend my head down to the dust of Your lotus feet,

and never allow it to rise again.
Raise my entire being aloft
in the eternal glow of Your glory.
In Your unfading effulgence
I come and depart time after time.
Don't throw me far away from You
making me drift along the path
of negative pratisaincara (counter evolution).
But with the gift of Your compassion,
let me move along a positive flow.

With tearful eyes I think of You,
in the language of my heart.
Nobody knows,
no one is able to know,
what I talk within my mind.
I do not see the world.
Looking inside my mind,
I see that You dwell in the black pupil of my eyes.
Even if unable to see far,
I remain engrossed in love.
That love makes my heart restless.
The mental casket overflows with ideas.
That love, that fulfilment,
rushes on,
dancing towards that beacon pole star.

Who knows where the end of this path lies?
I get lost while searching.
My imagination accepts defeat.
I keep weaving colourful nests,
plucking and carrying mental flowers.
Moving my hands in the darkness,
I say:
“I could not find Him anywhere.”
Whatever intellect I have,
whatever intuition functions within me,
my sincere desire be that,
all this counting of days may end
and hide in a corner.

My getting acquainted with You took place
not only during the last few ages.
Since time immemorial I am with You,
singing of Your victory.
Due to intense love and ideation on You,
I have forgotten all limitations.
Due to ideation and thinking of You,
the diverse “I” feelings of mine,
have been converted into Your being.
Do not keep me away.
Stay with me day and night.
Keep me absorbed in Your sweetness
and put me into action all the time.

Which was that morning
when You poured onto the earth Your unlimited effulgence?
There is no history nor smiling memory of it.
Only love is left.
Nobody knows that gift of Yours,
given with sweet rhythm.
You gave everything and took nothing,
O embodiment of consciousness,
Great Creation!
It is impossible to know You.
Even making the effort to know You,
depends on Your grace.
You filled my thoughts,
enchanted my mind
and sang Your immortal song.

It is up to You to listen to it or not.
With a deep voice, I shall arouse waves.
Do You think that I would be quiet
and give up the hope of attaining You due to frustration?
Do You think that I shall not avail the grand opportunity
of enjoying the flow of Your melody,
which has filled the vast cosmos?
Do You think that I shall not come closer to You?
Your infinite depth cannot be realised by intellect.
By taking Your name
and offering the sweetness of the particle
that You have bestowed upon me,
I shall certainly attain You.

By Your smile, flowers bloom.
In Your flute, love exists.
By Your sweetness, nectar flows.

You express as colourful, incorporeal essence.
In the impulse of ideation,
pulling You with all my heart,

O Beloved,
I have forgotten the date
but did not forget You.
I am unable to forget You.
Without having been called,
You came into the depth of my mind.
Why, I do not know.
With Your sudden appearance,
You brought about oscillations,
making me forget my old life.
You brought firmness to the foundation of my life,
that I may struggle against obstacles.
You told me to remain true,
not to entertain deceitfulness,
to move on a straight path with courage.
Crookedness would never win.
Truth comes from sadhana, the real spiritual effort.

You loved me,
but I remained far.
You applied balm on my pain,
but that, I forgot.
When under the burns and grief caused by desert heat,
when under pressure from an affectionless society,
when crying out due to having been injured,
I found consolation in You.
You have been gifting liberally with both Your hands.
I have never given anything in return or in exchange.
(On the contrary,) I tried to break Your law,
as I observed pride in me.
You pour out Your mercy,
ignoring my good or bad qualities.
You intoxicate my mind with the sweetness of affection
and make me bathe in the fountain of love.
I had not understood this and remained far.

You came,
smiling softly
and pouring out heavenly nectar.
But still I never looked at You or communicated with You,
I was oblivious due to infatuation.
I had bolted my doors
and stayed in a corner of my house,
thinking secretly of my own affairs.
I always wanted respect,
on the bank of that dark river.
You went away leaving behind a load of love.
Those flows of love dance again and again.
By the swing of their vibration,
colourful flowers are bound to bloom.

Please do not turn a deaf ear to me,

Listen instead to tale of my heart.
Please understand my innermost pain
and the restlessness of attaining You.
Through interludes of flute sounds,
Your effulgence calls me.
In that effulgence lies mingled the sweetness of Your love.
You are my ray of hope,
the only basis of all welfare.
Forgetting You, I shall have no base.
And that is why,
I ever bow down my head at Your feet.

I move on the path
by Your illumination and blessing.
I am engrossed in Your song
by the impulse of Your ideation.
By the interplay of ideation and deep exhalation,

Since that unknown past when You created the universe,
bondage has been present.
Unto all,
with a garland of shining gems,
You bestow affection.

Yet, why can I not see this in practical life?

How many sleepless nights have passed,

Still, O beloved companion,
You did not come.

Playing an unknown melody on the flute,

who is that You who came into my mind?
Under my knowledge, You do not come.
And even after coming, You are not revealed.
You broke my drowsiness with quiver.
Initially, I could not think anything.
I could not get even get a hint of You.
Slowly, surrounding me with experiences,
You woke me with oscillations.
That experience has no comparison.
It happened only on account of Your causeless grace.
All reasoning and mundane powers accept defeat,

You came and stood.
Enchanting me, You told me that You love me.
What I did not imagine, that I saw happening.
Your sweetness filled my mind.
I spoke, crying with impulse, that this was unbelievable.
You told that this mind was Your abode.
In the past also, the essence of love had been residing there.
I could not see You due to my intense ego,
as I had covered myself with the fog of pride.

Without looking at who comes and goes,
my mind rushes unto Him only.
Uncountable storms blew with lightning.
Uncountable meteorites revealed many a glimpse of light.
Uncountable comets came waving their tails.
Nothing was there that did not come and go.
Innumerable days and eras passed.
But my heart remained full of honey.
Many bees came and continued humming.

By Your abundant gifts and grant of affection,
my pride was crushed.
You removed the ego
that had kept me bound with the rope of infatuation,
and took away my entire burden.
You came by Your own attributes
and allowed Yourself to come within the reach my core.
Even though You are formless,
You came into this expressed world and smiled.
In that glow of light, pain and pleasure float.
Even at the level of atoms and molecules
You remain acquainted with all.
You are ever awake emanating a cool and tranquil vibration.
With ever new love, You smile softly.
Other than You,
who else is there to understand my agony?
You have conquered my mind and made me Your own.

I wanted to forget You,
after You had bestowed Your love and left.
My life is embedded in Your mind.
In that life, You dance.
You have never forgotten me.
You kept pouring sweet love in abundance.
You filled me with rhythm and melody,
and stayed with me in both light and darkness.
I continued thinking with ignorance,
clouded by the fog of ego.
You removed the stream of inertia
that had surrounded me.

I love You and You love me.
In my home,
Your light abounds.
My mind dances around You
delivering love for You,
expressing its feelings through melodies
that stem from its very core.
By Your oscillations my mind starts swinging
and by Your jingling sound
it becomes oblivious of itself.
O director of songs,
from my musical instrument, the lyre,
sounds emanate as if they were Your tinkling ankle bell.

With the hope of attaining You,
in the spring season of my mind,
the restless bud does not heed to any hindrance.
My mind is held upright with love
and bends down by the load of sweetness,
unheard by anyone.
From afar, You attract with oscillations.
Staying at home feels like burning.
I cannot forget You while threading the garland of stars.
I understand that all that is Your game.
This game You play with me.
Even if alone, I shall not budge.

Tell me why today a storm blows in my mind?
In the mirror of thoughts,
with rhythm and melody,
sweetness abounds.
For that dearest Lord, whom I love,
I have been waiting for so long,
constantly looking at the path.
Under that impulse,
into the ears of fragrant buds,
the bee whispers.
This storm is an indication of His arrival.
It has made my mind restless.
Taking His ideation,
I sing of His victory,
as times within and beyond merge.

I did not find You in any place of pilgrimage,
nor in mountains and caves.
My days pass by seeking You.
Explaining scriptures and analysing the mind,
speaking of matters of concern to me,
the time passes.
You are the central gem of my mental world.
You are the self-illuminating entity beyond all.
In Your radiance,
in the stream of Your thoughts,
the knowledge of my entire existence lies located.
The work You perform out of love,
that only shall I continue to do to please You.
By Your mercy,
and the flow of Your grace,
I shall ever remain close to You.

I roamed around in the dark house.
I did not listen to the call of light.
My speech had been bound by the bondage
of fame and dishonour,
of repentance and praise.
I did not open my eyes to see the game of colours.
I did not love You and decided to remain in darkness.
You came in the stream of light,
providing a jerk to my blood vessels,
intoxicating my mind with crimson colour,
making me forget my gaps and lapses.

who is that unknown You who came?
I did not recognise You.
I did not welcome You.
I did not talk to You smilingly.
Your vibration fills the world.
By Your rhythm, all are stirred.
By Your glance, all inertia is instantly destroyed.
In Your love, which cannot be conveyed with words,
there is no purpose of showing off sweetness.
With silent language, glancing sweetly,
You give compassion.

Why do you build your house on quicksand?
Though clearly observing its defects,
why have you not examined the matter more in detail?
The structure is shaking severely
because of its fragile foundation.
Since ages you have been wasting your time
in constructing that castle on quicksand.
You have applied much energy,
investing blood, sweat and your own hard labour to build it.
All along you obtained satisfaction
by imagining that which is bound by the temporary and ephemeral.
After the river breaks its border,
the marshy quicksand will destroy it altogether.
All imaginary colours will float away
and only the non-decaying absolute will remain.

Kindling the lamp in my mind,
who has come on this dark night?
When darkness was all pervading,
I was asleep due to tiredness.
There was no one to understand my pain.
There was no touch of a sympathetic heart.
No one was there on the earth,
to wipe away my tears and love me.
Blow after blow came,
as merciless society kept watching.
During such a night,
with a heart full of love,
You came on a flow of compassion.

You are vibrantly under motion in the divine game,

You told me that I was Yours,

even now?
Calling You again and again,
my throat is becoming choked.
Why did You send me to the world?
Why did You push me away?
And why did You then forget me?
Can this be considered love?
It is difficult to understand Your divine game.
It brings about thoughts without language.
Sometimes it makes us cry and sometimes it makes us smile,
and fills our hearts with love.

and went away silently.
You did not talk.
By looking at my face,
You snatched away my mind,
speaking only with Your eyes.
I think of the event of that day again and again.
That memory brings up flows of tears.
It fills my mind with melody,
and pours softness into it.
That memory shall remain for a long time.

emanating the sweetness of nectar.
It breaks the entire net of infatuation,
and, removing all pains,

do not remain distant.
I don’t have anyone else other than You.
Like water for the fish,

My love with You,
lies sheltered in the deep recess of my core,
unknown to the language of the outside world.
Having been called wholeheartedly,
under the impetus of illumination,
the formless became form.
It took place with rhythm and melody,
through the gaps of mental clouds.
O embodiment of consciousness,
surrounding the whole world,
Your mental firmament shines full of light.
To attain You,
the earth dances,
along the tinkling of love.

O Lord,
embodiment of the cosmic game,
You have tied me with the thread of love.
Your bondage provides rescue from thoughts,
and is impossible to forget,
O embodiment of consciousness.
You exist as fragrance in flowers
and keep oscillating within rhythms and songs.
You are present as the origin of acceleration in speed
and remain ever merged rhythmically.
From the origin of beginninglessness,
to the accomplishment of endlessness,
in the depths of knowledge of existence,
You remain eternally awake,
O embodiment of effulgence.

Cimmerian darkness has disappeared.
The crimson dawn is smiling.
In my mental mirror,
emanating divine effulgence,
His particles of love shine.
No one is alien to me.
The whole world,
animate and inanimate,
is filled with my own oneness.
Amidst all,
I see Him,
in the firmament of my heart and mind.
I do not go on pilgrimage looking for Him.
I do not observe rituals such as penance or sacrifice.
Withdrawing my mind, I love Him,
ever aspiring to merge in Him.

I have loved You throughout my life.
You are the light in the darkness.
You know how to love.
You silently pour out Your grace,

Though I do not see You,
You are never far.
Though I never thought of You in my mind,
You surround me.
I could not see You due to my eyes being covered with fog.

My mind could not understand why You went away.
Due to my ego I did not say anything.
I did not utter any word.
I did not express any motion.
I told the matter with both my eyes.
I wanted You still closer,
decorating all my actions with flowers,
that You may come into my innermost recess.
Why didn’t You understand?
Why didn’t You stay?
Why did You go without reason?
Other than You, none is mine.
You are the king of my mind.
At all times I long for You:
amidst thoughts and ideation,
in fulfilling experiences,
in the tune of perfection,
in seclusion.

What soft language is this?
The call comes floating
with sweet pulse and rhythmic hope.
I had hoped that I would attain Him
and be able to do His work.
With His inspiration and grace,
I shall keep moving forward,
forgetting the pains and pleasures of this material world.
In the deep corner of my mind,
hidden from all thoughts,
colouring the garden of my consciousness,
I long for Him.

You poured life into each corner of this earth.
By infusing life,
Your song started drifting with melody.
With the vibration of vivacity the world is frenzied
and cosmic ideation fills the recess of minds.
This ideation attained language that removes all hopelessness.
Everyone's heart is now dancing with tune and melody.
O Supreme Controller,
my whole existence is being churned
by Your symbol and ideation.
O Lord,
no one is useless and meagre.
All float in Your mind.

Come secretly with silent feet.
Come, blooming flowers in diverse colours.
Come, each moment filling hope into my drowsy dark eyes.
No one is able to know You.
Your depth cannot be measured.
You were in the past.
You forever stay,
quivering within and beyond intuition.

I sing my songs with pain,

scattering light in my floral garden.
After radiating beauty and awakening love,
where did You go?
Who knows?
Your ways of love are difficult to understand.
Sometimes You appear far and sometimes near.
Both this meagre drop as well as the great ocean
You beautify each moment.
It is not possible to declare
that I have attained You.
Due to frequent loss,
fear persists in my mind.
I listen to Your cosmic victory,
which comes floating through the wind.

It came humming, deep into the depth of mind.
It poured its love into the mental pond.
It is hard to recognise that bee,
to know where it came from
and which place it is going to.
It shines in a variety of colours,
full of affection,
with rhythm and melody.
No comparison of that bee is found.

That timeless melody
keeps singing its song
in each and every throat.

You are the immeasurably soft embodiment of sweetness,
pouring on the earth Your load of love.
Having remained ignorant in dense crudeness,
I did not call You into my home.
I may forget but You do not forget.
You move me within the range of Your view.
Sitting secludedly with ideative momentum,
today, I think of You again and again.

Holding Your feet,
I pray that You may not go.
I have remained seated on the path,
hoping for Your arrival for many days.
Please do not pluck my buds of hope.
On the tree that was watered and irrigated,
buds, flowers and fruits have now appeared.
Think of them.
Think of their feelings.
Do not allow them to be cast aside.
In colourful mornings and reddish evenings,
each moment of mine passes thinking of You.
Please do not pessimistically reject this feeling of mine.
Let my spiritual effort be fruitful.

You are the rhythm of the essence of life,
the gentle, sweet touch of love.
You are the fragrance of the floral nucleus.
You deliver the declaration of songs.
All want to attain You close.
All long to merge with You.
By thinking of You,
by ideating on You,
who cannot get fulfilment?
You are the root of everything.
You dwell on the bank of the heavenly soft stream.
In the dense dark night,
Your joy overflows as moonlight.

O Beloved,
pupil of my eyes,
You remain close to me day and night.
I do not fear getting lost
during storms and typhoons.
Continuing to hear the sound of Your ankle bell,
I do not require consolation
during pains, burns, grief, mourning or bereavement,
caused by the hot desert.
O most Beloved, I love You.
I want nothing from You.
Just grant sweetness to the core of my heart.
So that by that sweetness,
with charming adornment,
You may come into my loving fold.

The flowers of the garland that was meant for You
have withered away.
But the sweetness of that garland remains.
Whatever nectar You brought with You,
You poured into the core of my heart.
Due to that bliss,
the dance of feelings in each pore never stops.
Bestowing such feelings,
You come and go,
showering sweetness in both light and darkness.
You oscillate the mind with Your smile and love.
This fact I had not known earlier.

and went away without announcement.
You spread into each home
the immortal song of Your love.
You create the world with love.
There is no comparison to Your affection.

You continue playing hide and seek.
You fill the mind with Your song,
intoxicating it with melody.
You oscillated the three-layered universe,

Then, You went away.
Now, my days pass by crying.
Mercifully,
You did not allow me to hold You.
Who has any capacity to hold You?
Due to the burden of my broken ego,
I am unable to get peace from anything.
O Dearest,
You are the basis of absolute peace.
Continue destroying the darkness of infatuation.
During storms, thunderbolts and falling meteorites,

Loving You,
being mentally close to You,
my days float away
to an unknown sphere.
It is impossible to hold those golden days
in the golden cage of my mind.
I love You. Hence, I beg.
With Your ideation I survive day and night.
Thinking of You,
feeling You,
my mind seeks to find You,
and thereby attain peace.
Many days passed running after inert objects.
Many days of this small life were lost.
There should not be further delay.
Not much time remains.
Now, let Your mercy shine.

For such a long time,
You kept me surrounded,
upsurging the ocean of mundane attachments.
There was no one to call my real own.
The musical instrument of my mind
was engaged in chanting only my own greatness and glory.
You came close to me with silent footsteps
and made the bud of my mind blossom
in countless colours and forms.
With the charming melodies of rhythmic songs,
O unknown one,
You revealed Yourself.
You can never be realised by logic and reasoning.
By love alone,
You are attained.
In everyone’s heart,
You vibrate like a creeper of hope,
as aspirations smilingly merge with You.

Though I never wanted to be close to You,
You came, showering Your grace.
Being engrossed in a crude and inert world,
I never understood You.
You broke my worldly attachments.
I was busy with my own self,
searching means of happiness with only the senses.
You shifted my outlook
and opened my eyes,
filling with love the dry core of my heart.
My ego used to be a huge burden for me.
This small ”I” of mine used to move on a crooked path,
never on straight and righteous path.
You showed the direction
and placed me on the proper path,
turning me into a human being.

Break open the shining anklet bondage of fear and shyness that binds people.

Conscious of the path,
the unknown traveler had come
and stood in front of my door for a moment.
I did not recognise Him.
I did not call Him in even once.
He went away smiling softly.
After some time I realised my mistake,
and, opening the door, I came out rushing.
I searched Him in vain far and wide.
He was not there.
His garland was lying on the ground.
In life, many mistakes happen,
but they can also be expiated.
Today I am calling Him with heartfelt longing,
but I do not know whether that call enters His ears.

I thought You would not listen to the voice of the poor.
I also thought that You would remember only those
who perform Your worship with the elaborate rituals of the sixteen aspects.
My mistake is shattered.
I have now understood You as being attainable only by love.
Neither oblation nor libation, nor offerings can attract You.
Only through purity of mind is Your real worship performed.
I do not recognise artificial distinctions of society.
Nor should there be deprivation of anyone.
By bringing the light of hope to the downtrodden,
Your sadhana is carried out.

The rain awakens the ketakii flower
and through its pollen, fragrance floats.
Frogs croak in the grove of nut trees.
Thunder laughs as wild wind.
In my mind,
emerging from the northeastern corner,
clouds dance with vigour.
The pollen of the juhi flower has become wet
and is sought for by the night queen.
Within the forest and garden,
in seclusion and silence,
who is the one singing songs?

You are so close,
yet, at the same time,
You are very far.
I know that You observe my inner core.
Why then do You make me feel so impatient and distressed?
In search of You,
I have visited many countries.
I have wandered through mountains and jungles.
I took baths in many holy ponds and rivers.
But I never cared to look within.
Since eternity You have been playing Your divine game with me.
Sometimes You come close
and sometimes You go far,
sounding Your smiling ankle bells.

Come close, closer, with a smile that flows pearls.
Come into the core of my heart.
Come with floral adornment,
pouring forth the nectar of love.
All want You,
colouring their mind with Your colour,
filling it with Your love, rhythm and song.
This is not only my tale,
rather, it is the story of all devotees.
It is the history of all human minds,
singing their song with the hope of attainment.

O Ocean of Grace,
You came to the courtyard of my small home.
I had never expected this.
There is no limit to Your compassion.
I had been calling many summer and rainy seasons.
I continued crying through several winter evenings.
I balanced on the swing of hope and despair,
expecting Your compassionate glimpse for at least a moment.
Your love is unthinkable,
incomparable,
overflowing and immeasurable.
You came to Your own microcosm
appearing within,
O Great Ocean.

You love Your divine play.
During winter evenings,
in the sweet moonlight,
You smile overwhelmingly.
On sunny days during hot winds,
in the frightening thunder of intense rains,
You express an unknown joy,
shining with frenzy.
With floral fragrance,
with a sweetness-filled heart,
with flashes of lightning,
You take all along,
You give to all,
You merge in the core of their heart.

Why did You come?
Why did You go away?
Undergoing all the trouble of only coming and going?
For You, in my house,
a seat had been kept ready with floral decoration
but You did not even look at it.
Picking up mental flowers,
I had threaded a garland as ritual of love.
The garland has dried up.
Its flowers have withered away.
You did not give me time to place it around Your neck.
I do not know whether or not You love me.
I only know that I love You.
Perhaps in my thinking there was some lapse or mistake.
Maybe that is why my mind now vainly floats in tears.

The mist of my eyes washes away the dark mark.
You did not understand my agony.
You did not come close to me.
What a love is this?
You do not realise neither my pain nor my happiness.
You stay away, playing Your deluding game.
I shall no longer call You,
or wait for You, looking at the path.
I shall no longer cry, carrying Your memory with me.
Had You ever loved me,
You would not have left me rejected in this way.
O merciless one, think once more!
Forgetting You, to whom shall I go?
Whatever I may have said hundreds of times
due to experiencing the pain of agony,
forget it all and come into my inner core.

The peacock of my mind keeps dancing,
ever higher unto You.
It does not know in which unknown place
You secludedly dwell.
It does not heed to any prohibition.
How can domestic bondages bind it?
Like a horse without bridles,
it rushes forth on an unknown path.
Tied by the rope of love,
it ignores all restrictions.
Along to the beats and rhythm of an insuppressible comet,
it sings its song.

You have reverberated it all with Your rhythm.
O consciousness of beginningless time,
You are reflected in all entities.
Through philosophy and science,
You create the drama of illusion.
The ignorant mind has no patience,
and wants You as its innermost.
O ocean of mercy,
why do You keep my pot of hope empty?

Considering me unknown,

Come down to my hut.
Your smiling love pours out moonlight.
The mental sweetness of flowers brings fruits.
The sparks of hopes
that You kindle in the darkness,
dance on.
Due to the vibrations of Your thoughts,
all rush forth,
including meteorites and distant nebula.
In atoms and molecules,
Your effulgence flashes.
Firm in ideology,
You are never shaken.

only their tunes remain inside my heart.
When I see You in the winter evening,
in the gentle moonlight
and amidst the fragrance of the shefali flower,
then in that environment,
a song comes floating.
You went away carrying with You that song,
leaving behind only its tune.
When I see You in dark nights,
amidst the reckless rain and lightning,
in that frightening environment also,
a song comes.
But now that song has gone
and only its melody rhythmically dances on.

With the tinkling of Your viina,
and the jingling bell of the mind,
infused with love,
You kindled my jewel lamp.
I have no desires left.
Whatever I have, I shall put to utilisation,
So that the wealth, filling my bouquet with love,
be not lost by the defect of intellect.
Human beings get many things but want still more.
Their hunger is never satiated.
They always think about their crude hunger,
ignoring and rejecting what they have already got.

Amidst the dense clouds of the blue sky
appearing like a dark mark in people’s eyes,
the colourful lotus flashes.
Providing a jerk to thoughts,
shaking the mind,
it oscillates on the swing of a floral rope.
For a long time,
I had not thought of Him, not even by mistake.
In the core of my heart,
I did not want to catch hold of Him.
Suddenly, something started rocking me back and forth.
My mind became restless,
and now, it cannot forget Him.
The tender propensities of the mind
that had been asleep,
the sweet and perfect attitude of the mind,
that had lain dormant in its casket,
wondered about what had happened.
They all awoke,
swooning the mind at His tune.

You smiled into one’s innermost core.
You loved and snatched away hearts
with an unknown song.
In this world there is no one else like You.
O most beloved,
You came in the form of formlessness.
You intoxicated everyone’s mind
with innumerable rhythms and songs.
You brought everyone close to You
by Your sweet attraction.
Because You exist, the created universe exists.
By Your light, atoms dance unto the great.
Due to the feeling of duality, we see small and big.
In deep meditation, let all merge in You.

With the rope of Your love,
You have kept everyone tied.
It is impossible to cast off its bondage.
O nucleus of the universe,
You filled the mental arena,
so that the mind may not rush astray.
In which distant past
did the movement on Your path start?
Through rise and fall,
through feelings,
it tells the story to the ears.
With the love with which You have tied all,
with the honey that You poured into everyone’s core,
with the sweet movement with which You filled rhythmic songs,
with all that,
hearts overflow.

The gem selected
after screening all the seven oceans
told me:
“I love you.
Since you love me most,
share with me the tale of your mind.”
I told:
“I love You.
Your clean, sweet smile,
and the heaps of flowers that You gave,
fill me with melody, even while I cry.
This mutual understanding between You and me,
this exchange of feelings,
is not a negligible event.
By this joy, all revolve.”

The sandal breeze came
and whispered into my ears
that You would come today.
Hence, this time
I have kept all the doors of my mind open to welcome You.
I have kept the garland ready, threaded with mental flowers.
With carefully selected fragrance, I have kept my bouquet decorated.
I am full of expectation
and with an impatient heart,
I am eager to hear Your call.
The effulgence keeps smiling far and further still.
The fragrance keeps spreading, pleasing all.
Knowing that You are to come,
my mind does not heed to any obstacle.
It dances on in the light and fragrance of joy.

You came without being called
and went away without saying anything.
What is this divine game of Yours,
O dear Lord?
I didn’t know or understood
why You had come to my home and had gone away.
From the mouth of people,
I have heard that You love by playing the divine game,
and in the drama of that game You cry and smile.
O affectionless one,
I do not know whether my crying makes You laugh or cry,
but I accept it.
I do not understand what this divine game is for.
Sometimes it makes me cry and sometimes it makes me smile.
If such be the acting in Your drama game,
then You are far, nay, farthest.

My sea has dried up.
My serpent has lost its gem.
Sitting alone,
staring into the void,
I count the stars in the sky.
My ego has been pulverised by the frowning of shortages.
Now only rumination and reflection of memories are left.
You made me so selfless
that nothing of my “I” feeling remains.
Still, I am full of the brilliance of light.
I am Yours,
You are mine.
I am not totally devoid of all belongings.

Who is that unknown traveler
who has come oscillating?
Suddenly appearing from unknown world,
He momentarily smiled and floated away.
I had never tried to recognise Him.
There was no bondage of love.
My mind never thought of His concerns.
He nevertheless gave me a momentary touch.
I understood Him to be my innermost.
He is my very own amidst the nearest,
the collection of love.
Forgetting Him,
everything becomes a heavy load.
In my dark heart,
only that gem shines.

You delight the sky and the air.
You are revered in all spheres.
The experience that arises from heavenly effulgence
remains utterly embedded in You.
Other than You,
nobody else exists.
Wherever I look,
I find but Your expression.
In the colour of the new sun,
in floral fragrance,
You reside with love.
For such a long time,
I had not understood You,
I had not seen the rain of nectar in You.
By that nectarial flow all attain life
and the vibrant earth smilingly rotates.

Who is that who came,
passing past my heart?
I cannot recognise You.
Unknowingly, I had longed for You with each sound of life.
I had never imagined that You would come like this,
now that I see overflowing nectar all around.
O guest,
You appeared without consideration of date.
Our acquaintance was made from deep from within the heart.
The immortal song that You sang in my inner core
will never be forgotten.

You are the essence of sandal.
You are the garland of shining gems.
You are the belonging of all hearts.
Who can recognise You or understand You?
You are unlimited beyond knowledge.
When I search You with logic and reasoning,
I return disappointed.
But when ideating upon You,
You appear face to face time and again.
My own ego had kept me away from You.
It had kept covered the lamp of my life.
Removing that covering,
I became one with You.

Did not You have form or mind?
Were You in deep dream playing the flute?
By the flow of its melody, You awakened life.

The expectation of my mind was not fulfilled.
Day and night I secretly continued singing in the language of love.
I had coloured my mind with Your colour.
I had come treading Your path.
I had accepted You as essence.
All my crying and smiling had taken place only around You.

I shall keep You in the core of my heart.

The bondages of this earth do not tear me apart.
They bind me at each step I take.
These bondages are sweet and charming.
Only You may remove them.
Although You are beyond attributes,
You acquired attributes,
putting on bondages with both Your hands.
From being formless, You came to be form,
filling Yourself with sweet fragrance.
Being absorbed in attributelessness,
the achiever’s world dissolves.
The recognised universe becomes unrecognised,
as the end beyond end comes to mind.

Being so determined,

Deluding all by Your will,
You brought about the divine play.

did You descend today,
filling the universe with rhythm and tunes?
You attracted all,
even those who were far from You,
drawing them close unto Your cosmic hub.
Deep within the inner chamber of their unit mind,
every entity of this manifestation longs for Your presence.
Although not expressed openly,
this desire is cherished secretly in their inner hearts.
Today, You awakened hope and love in every cell of our existence.
Today, every atom and molecule found language to express.
Those who, for so long, remained far from You,
today, found themselves reflected in the serene glow
and divine rhythm of Your cosmic mental arena.
You remain tied to everybody in bonds of love and affection.
You move with all, along an eternal path,
to build a universal human society.
....................................
From which unknown world
did You come
to fill everything with beauty and melody,
and pull the distant ones close?
In the depth of mind,
all want You.
Even without speaking,
all secretly long for You.
You awakened in each pore of my heart
hope, love and language.
Those who were left afar,
came into Your mental mirror,
gently and gracefully,
dancing with rhythm and melody.
Taking all along,
and bestowing love,
You created the universal society.

The cascade of songs rushes forth towards the ocean.
It does not heed to any stone obstacle.
Making its way, it rushes forward.
From which beginninglessness did its sound arise?
It has ever since been drifting in the flow of time.
Holding on to the path of the eternal companion,
crossing hundreds of obstacles,
this stream dances on in the flow of melodies.
There is no end to that sound,
neither is there any end to songs,
just as there is no end to life.
Moving forward is its duty.
Forgetting all fear and shyness,
it ever breaks the prison of ego.

O Shubhankar (Doer of Auspiciousness),
At that time You had not yet tied Your loose and matted hair
with golden, heavenly water.
You (then) tied Your hair to obstruct insanity.
You brought regulation amidst haphazardness.
Into each step and path of life,
You filled rhythm and song.
O Ocean of kindness!
O Merciful One!
I do not find any comparison to what You have given.
There is neither limitation nor embankment to Your attributes.

On this rainy and wet evening,
the fragrance of the ketaki flower
floats over the water.
The moon appears clouded.
Yet, observing it closely,
nectar appears to rain down on the afflicted.
In its dark nest, the peacock cries,
unable to see the shining moon.
The toads croak,
trumpet-like,
thunderously,
voicing an unknown language.
The distant great sky calls as if signalling by hands.
It teaches to break the boundary of limitation.
Forgetting all, the mind wants to attain only One.
It remains absorbed in the ideation of only One.

Namaste Shiva Shambho,
I salute You.
What have You not all done to awaken humanity?
Into animal-like mankind,
You filled ideals by shaking the earth and the sky.
You came like a boat to liberate all
from the insuppressible ocean of blinding darkness.
Whether small or big,
all understood by actual experience
that You think for everyone.
Having come in the distant past,
You remain in feelings and songs,
with a hidden current in the depth of mind.
I won't forget You.
I am unable to forget You.
O essence of mercy!
Svayambho, O Self-created One!

Thinking of You,
what was this experience
that completely satiated my whole being?
You poured love on me,
filled me with affection
and removed all my impurities.
O ocean of mercy,
charming philanderer,
You made the pot of my heart overflow.
Both from inside and from outside,
effulgence emerges,
surrounding me from all sides,
creating a strong upsurge of fragrance and emotions.
I shall forever keep thinking of You,
leaving behind the binding net of infatuation.
By Your touch,
I shall swing with joy,
carrying the brilliant gem in the firmament of my mind.

I keep singing my song,
not knowing whether You listen to it or not.
Whatever was in the depth of my mind,
I have expressed without suppressing anything.
Yet in whatever state my mental bud remains,
it is unable to bloom as a flower.
Many melodies come and float away far.
I do not know whether or not You are aware of it.
Still I understand, O loved One,
that there remains a difficult obstruction
between feeling and language.
All feelings cannot be brought within the frame of language.
I do not know whether or not You accept this.

Hoping for Your arrival, ages have passed.
Why didn’t You come even after giving Your word?
Don’t You know how many flames and how much heat
my dry garland has created in my mind?
Why do You give this sort of assurance?
Why do You fool me with the delusion of hope?
By making me cry,
raising disappointment in my silent heart,
tell me, what do You gain?
Whatever You want, You are capable of doing.
I cannot object.
There is neither victory nor defeat for me.
So why do You give me meaningless pain?

I keep singing my song for You.
I do not know whether You listen to it or not.
Yet, I sing blissfully.
This is not at all the story of only one.
It is the feeling of the human mind.
It expresses onto Your altar
the pain, agony and sweet creation of all.
My sole prayer to You be that You accept my request,
without fearing the sentiments of the song.
By making You listen to it, I shall be satisfied.
I want nothing more.
You gave me language and melody.
Hence I keep singing.

There was hope in my mind
that my love for You would bind You.
I had not thought that in my garland,
spots of insects could have been present.
O most beloved,
You are the gem of the ocean,
the brightest star in the sky.
All attempts to hold You by the power of knowledge
are bound to prove futile.
My love will forever live with hope in my heart.
Hence, I ask You mentally, secretly,
into my heart,
when will You come?

At the seashore,
in the evening,
amidst loti,
whose fragrance floats?
When near Him, I think He has gone far,
so far that the eyes cannot see.
Far or near is but my thinking.
Nothing of Yours really comes or goes.
Under the illumination of intellect
I try to see with my eyes,
never thinking that my intellect has been granted by Your mercy.
You arrived here from beginninglessness.
You keep floating in the stream of infinity.
Beginning or end,
sky and horizon,
have become a lost concept.

From the northeastern corner,
the long horn has started sounding.
What does it wish to convey?
O Lord Shiva,
Your dance scatters meteorites in oscillating waves.
You dance the jumping Tandava dance,
giving jerk to sin.
You guide forward the deaf chariot of light.
O Greatest controlling God,
why do You do whatever You do?
My eyes are unable to understand and speechlessly look on.
The web of Your matted hair has opened out freely.
With that, O Lord,
You have become full of rhythm.
With each rhythmic step,
You move on,
in the light-flashing sound that is awakened.

Come to my home.

with tender leaves, flowers and smiling buds.
I did not make any flaw while decorating.
I kept the door of my heart open.
By the passage of the window,
in the free flowing air,
I have poured fragrance.
The buds collected in my mind,
are filled with the sweetness of honey.
To please You,
they all bloom with joy.

the lamp of my hope has been extinguished.
Come into my dark home,
carrying the lighted stick to kindle the flame.
No one pays attention to me.
I have no one to tell my story to.
I am blanketed by darkness,
with my eyes flowing tears,
and all the suppressed agony of my heart gathered and compressed.
In the northeastern corner of the sky,
lightning, thunder and hailstone bring terror.
Still, I have confidence
that Your grace will shower down,
piercing my disappointment.

by ideating on You,
all meanness is blown away.
By the wee bit of Your grace,
a meagre water drop becomes one with the ocean.
The sand particle of today
carries the effulgence of Your energy in its core.
By that capacity and by Your will,
it can take on the form of millions of worlds.
By the mere glimpse of Your smile,
the whole universe is stirred with joy.
Those asleep, wake up.
They dance and sing along to the vibration of love.

Wearing dark eyemarks,
clouds have appeared today,
providing consolation to my bereaved heart.
On dry branches greenness appeared,
moistening the earth.
The flow of water descends with rhythm and melody,
ignoring the frightening lightning.
It provides hope,
gradually advancing with rhythmic steps
towards the mental goal.
Sitting alone in a corner of my house,
I wonder who to pull closer and what to ignore.
In the depth of my mind,
by a special cloud-invoking melody,
all disheartenment disappears.

You opened all the doors
and made light come in through the windows.
In the eastern sky crimson light appeared
and darkness ended.
There had been inhibitions of dogma
and innumerable negative reactive momenta.
When eye-to-eye to Your effulgence,
the creatures of darkness retreated.
O embodiment of effulgence and shelter of all,
the flow of Your thought flows in auspicious intuition.
Through love and injury,
sun and shade,
Your affection shines.

Your radiant beauty in the distant sky

By Your effulgence,

And by Your love,

The inanimate comes rushing close,

who are You who came,
oscillating the minds and lives of all?
You advance with each step individuals take,
with each recurrence of the rising sun.
You uplift all,
You love all
and You understand the inner events of all.
You are not far from or alien to anyone.
Forgetting You means forgetting one’s own identity.

awaken sound in everyone’s heart,
and wipe out the weariness of life.

I have moved on Your path for so long!
I have sung so many songs!
You do not see.
You do not hear.
Day and night I have been thinking of You.
You do not understand.
Riding the chariot of light,
You went further away,
crossing and piercing through nebula, stars and planets.
You scattered meteorites.
Yet You did not think of me even for a moment.
You glimpse into the deep recess of minds.
You inundate with the flow of Your vibration.
You dance Your divine game,
making all cry and enjoy.
Yet why do You not appear in my mental mirror?

You came and loved me.
With a soft smile,
You snatched away my mind
and made me Your own.
I continued waiting,
counting time,
with decorated eyes and a tuft.
You came,
taking away with affection all what was mine.
You poured sweetness into buds.
Nothing is now left for me to wish for.
I remain constantly meditating on You.
You aroused a new idea in my mind,
making it joyfully resonate with love.

Carrying in hand a garland of campa and bakula flowers,
I had stood near the path,
hoping for Your arrival.
You came when the night was dense.
Meanwhile my floral garland had become soiled.
Into the tears flowing from my eyes,
the dark decorative mark had dissolved.
I shall no longer weave thick wrath garlands.
I shall no longer decorate trays of colours.
I shall merge external welcome decorations
into my internal imagination.

Who is He,
constantly revolving around me,
so as to make me forget my sorrows,
and pulling me ever closer?
Without even introducing Himself,
He enters my heart,
unconcerned about whether or not I am happy about it.
Having lost Him time and again,
I am afraid.
Hence, I have now kept Him carefully protected.
In the temple of ideation,
as I mentally long for my cherished goal,
He smiles in the sandal breeze.
I am not desirous of Him introducing Himself.
He has already filled my heart.
I remain thrilled in His attainment,
beyond good or bad qualities.

The bee came towards the flower
whose petals had opened up.
Its closed doors now all wide open,
a load of honey came out in overflowing proportions.
The one it had wanted,
was silently found in the core of its heart.
In this meeting of love,
glimpses of light flashed through the gaps of dark clouds.
The bee told:
“Though unseen,
I am ever with you.
To arouse you with oscillations,
I sing my song in your innermost being,
again and again.”

Singing songs for You,
O Lord,
my days are passing.
I do not know whether or not You hear them,
yet my mind wants that You listen to them.
You are in my heart.
You are also in the outside world.
Only You understand the longing of my mind.
My mind, resonating with the vibration of Your sound,
rushes unto You.
All the events taking place in the core of my mind,
those untold agonies that have remained suppressed,
those sorrows of non-achievement,
the restlessness of trying to attain You,
all these, I convey through songs.
There is no other way for me but through songs.
I have the hope that through songs I may attain Him close.

and embellish my home,
providing welcome decorations to it,
and coating it with sweetness.
In the hope of His arrival,
I am sitting.
I do not know when that morning will smile at me,
when my morning sky shall be coloured with hues.
Yet, the day He will come close to me
all darkness shall be removed.
No endeavour is ever fruitless
if the inspiration of Your love is present.
Spreading my wings,
like a mental peacock,
I beg only for the wee bit of Your grace.

Now lift this gift of Yours to Your ears.
There is nothing that can be called mine.
Wherever I look at,
I see You filling the entire arena.
By thinking of You,
I lose myself,
You being the life of my life.
Remain with me in rhythms and meters,
pouring heavenly sweetness into them.
Covering all darkness with Your illumination,
remove my ego.

I look at the path of Your arrival,
carrying a tray full of songs.
For You, I make efforts, creating songs time and again.
Over these songs my love lies coated.
In these songs the memories of my life are contained.
I do not choose any special day for creating these songs.
Neither do I pay heed to worldly obstructions.
I have included it all:
the snow, the summer heat, the colourful flowers of spring,
whatever external or internal,
both good and bad qualities.
You are incomparable.
You are like a pearl in the oyster.

Why did He go away after having already come?
Tell me what my fault was.
Why did the cloud cover the full moon?
Of His stories, I always think.
By His name, I rise.
In His love, my restless heart remains submerged.
In this world coming and going takes place again and again.
Still, why do tears flow from my eyes?
What happened?

Why do teardrops oscillate in the swing of your eyes?
Who has inflicted pain on you? Tell me.
The flowers in your garland are breaking off.
In the evening’s smiling illumination,
through the gaps of white clouds,
why doesn’t He call the shy shefali flower?
He doesn’t understand your pain,
the suppressed burden of your heart.
Why has the hair on your head become rough?
Who is that who does not come,
despite loving and giving smiles from afar,
all while hiding in the firmament of mind?
It is difficult to understand His love,
which resembles a flower amidst thorns.

In the garden of campaka flowers,
alone, secludedly,
I create my song for You.
In my mind,
hope and love abound.
Hence into that song,
I fill my vitality, my energy.
There was no one to listen to,
neither was there goal or effort.
Limitless inspiration lay in the air
and by a wee bit of Your compassion,
a pull of love emerged.
Along the forest path, I move with that tune,
mixing into it the fragrance of the campa flower.
Like a restless golden brilliance,
the song’s sweetness brings forth melody.

In the intense obscurity of the darkest nights,
thinking of You,

and shining gems are scattered

I do not seek anything from You.
Because You exist, everything else exists.

On this evening, coloured in red,
You came, smiling lovingly,
and swaying the garland of fragrant shefali flowers
that hung around Your neck.
White clouds were floating about
and in the jungle of tall grass,
a whitish smile shone,
along the intoxicating melody of Your bamboo flute.
Will not that day return,
in the evening breeze of winter,
piercing the darkness of pain
to lead life forward?

On this evening, full of fragrance,
what is the bamboo grove saying?
Its greenness dissolves the dark illusion,
as if it were absorbing sweetness.
The clouds play hide and seek with the moon,
filling new sweetness into the great blue sky.
My mental peacock dances,
forgetting time and date.
Light and shade form decoration marks in my eyes
as charming love fills my mind.
Snatching away everything,
You provide everything.
The ocean of pain is removed,
and becomes lost in the far distance.

As my throat loses its language,

Where were You when in a formless state?
And when did You come within form and name?
Intoxicating the world,
You brought rhythm to sound.
There had been no summer heat,
nor rain, nor winter nor dew.
There was no one to confidentially convey my mind to,
as You had been revolving in an arena beyond time.
Whether in autumn, spring or during the cold season,
there was no awakening of waves in the inner core.
There was nobody to play the viina
with the joyful touch of hands.

O beloved Lord.
You remain coloured in heavenly hue,
and vibrant in fragrant niipa.
You poured out a heavenly flow
and made the dry desert green.
You filled the dead with life,
and provided the experience of consciousness to the inert.
You removed the scorching heat of the sun
and filled with water the dried out and thinned river.
You gave flow to the dry earth
and destroyed darkness by the lamp of hope.

I shall spend my life singing Your name and song.
I shall fulfil my heart
by remaining engrossed in executing Your work.
Coming and going is the cosmic rule.
Only Your love remains.
By continuously moving on Your path
I shall certainly attain You.
Wherever You may be,
near or far,
I shall keep You within my eyes.
With a heartfelt vital pull,
I shall bring You close
and sing my song to You.

You are the companion on the dark path
and the song of hope to the destitute heart.
Thinking of You in the festivity of life,
the flood of effulgence overflows.
With a sweet smile on Your lips,
under the bright moonlight of illuminated nights,
and in the soft breeze of the blue sky,
You filled my heart with Your gifts.
Whatever I think,
and whatever I did not think,
whatever I see,
and whatever I did not see,
within all,
Your compassion and affection is embedded.

Come to my home with a smiling face,
removing all my darkness.
Come into my mental garden as its tender leaves,
wiping away my tears of pain with Your songs.
The darkness that has accumulated in my home,
cannot be removed by worldly light.
I lie stranded in the dark prison.
Fill it instead with Your light.
Beloved,
other than You, who should I call?
Who else is my own?
You are the essence of my life.
Hence, break the slumber of my infatuation.

On this evening, filled with the fragrance of the malati flower,
with each step of rhythmic dance, along resonating ankle bells,
my mind floats off into the far distance.
My mind abandons all drowsiness
as my throat sings the song of Your name.
Ideating on You,
I have become Your gift.
What am I now,
is what You have made me.
I know and understand that You love me.
Attachments have been vanquished.
At the tinkling of Your sweet vina,
I forget everything.

We saw each other at the ocean of darkness.
In that intensely dark night,
You floated away to the ocean of effulgence.
I did not understand and kept You away.
I was surrounded by boundary walls,
locked in my own prison.
You brought me out by breaking this prison,
and pulled me close to You.
Removing all my ego,
You made me Your own.

The flowers in my hair have withered.
The song of my voice has stopped.
In this tear-filled evening my mind craves for Your grace.
You once said,
"Do not fear, I am with You,
I shall always remain with You."
And yet, I feel as if losing You.
The light of my hope begins to dim.
But I shall not lose heart.
The thought of You gives me strength.
With new ghee and wick
I re-light this dimming lamp of hope.
..........................................
The garland of my chignon has dried up,
the song in my throat has stopped.
On this tearful evening
my mind seeks only Your grace.
Tell me once:
“There is nothing to fear,
I am with you
and will for ever remain”.
Losing time and again,
I get afraid,
the light of my hope becomes extinguished.
Yet, I shall never become subdued.
By Your ideation,
I shall attain strength.
Into the lamp of hope
that today was about to extinguish,
wick and fuel was poured.

My eyes obey no boundaries.
They want to always see Him.
Whether in mountains or in caves,
whether external or internal,
I want to always feel Him in the depths of my mind.
In daylight and in the darkness of night,
in whatever good or bad prevails in this universe,
He remains ever present.
Under the light of His mystical drama,
we become immersed in His love.
Whatever fear and shame I had,
He removed it up to the last drop.
I don't understand what still keeps me here.
Everything merges into one
and that one encompasses everything.
.........................................
My eyes are all forbidding.
They continuously crave for His blissful glimpse.
Whether I be
in caves or in mountains,
or anywhere,
whether within or without,
I always long to keep Him
deep within the innermost recess of my mind.
In the light of the day
and in the darkness of night,
in all the good and evil of creation,
it is His play of light and shade;
it is the spell of His divine sport.
Everything remains moistened
by His charming sweetness.
He took away all my fear and shyness.
I could not grasp what happened.
Everything became lost in the one.
Everything was illuminated
with the effulgence from the one.

You came into the bud of my mind,
and filled it with joy, smile and sweetness.
You came the way I had wanted You to come.
Nothing else did I find.
You came, making the stream overflow at both its banks.
Although I know that there is neither coming nor going for You,
I do not experience this myself.
Hence whenever I realise
that You have come close,
my mind spreads its wings with joy.
I do not know why I love You.
Loving You is my endeavour, my sadhana.
I am unable to bind You by reason and logic.
I have therefore cast aside all intellect.

You opened Your eyes and looked at me.
In the depth of my mind,
You filled with fragrance
my garden of campaka flowers.
I was in deep slumber in the pitch dark night,
I could not even imagine the rays of the sun.
You poured light into my home,
and filled my life with sweetness.
I had never thought of anything other than myself.
Under the charm of infatuation,
I had been deprived of consciousness.
With my own sorrows,
I had filled the world.
You broke my delusion.

I had been dormant and bereft of consciousness.
You secretly stepped in.
I had not noticed it at that time.
The night was silent
while You looked at me with open eyes.
With lightning, You broke my slumber,
and filled me with consciousness.
O eternal guide of the entirety of my life,
showering Your grace upon me,
take me on the pilgrimage of effulgence.
Holding my hand,
remain with me each moment.

Not being able to understand You by my small intellect,
what prevents me then to come close to You?
You are the ocean,

With the restless wind,
my mind floats to an unknown realm.
It wants to break the bondage of its walls,
loving the distant blue sky.
There, the world is not bound by law.
There exists neither slow nor fast pace.
There is no pain causing tears to flow.
There, the liberated mind loses itself in limitlessness.
I am unable to understand what happened.
I do neither know who came or who went.
In exchange of all, I take one as my companion,
in whom I rejoice with bliss, separated from all others.

I have forgotten the day and date.
I only remember that with sweet lips You spoke, saying:

There is no need to know the day and date.
All arrangements are already in Your mind.
Stay with me in life and death.
Stay day and night with sweet fragrance.
Beyond time,
O Lord,
You dwell.

You come within the periphery of time.
You are essence of nectar to my dry heart.

Why didn’t You come close?
You do not come into my heart due to fear.
But why do You need to stay so far away?
In the restless, frenzied wind,
my mental deer wants only You.
My mental peacock keeps dancing.
Don’t You notice it, even after looking at it?
I have heard that You know the inner feelings of everyone.
But when it comes to me You lose that quality.
O day-traveler,
I call You repeatedly.
Did You become deaf on purpose?

amidst the motionless and silent stars.

On the occasion of this grand assemblage,
I think about You only.
You did not come during daylight.
I found You during the darkness of night.
I long for You day and night,
during pain, pleasure and during tears.
There is no one like You
that can apply ointment onto my burnt heart.
I love You.
You are the smile of my moon.
You are the collection of colourful flowers.
Therefore, I sing Your song.

During this dense, dark night,
riding the chariot of light,
who came?
O Beloved,
You removed the condensed darkness,
and filled effulgence throughout.
What can I seek from You?
When You are present, everything is attained.
The ocean is filled with Your particles.
You are the life of all lives.
You are the great vitality of the universe.
You conquer hearts with love.
I do not speak out loud,
but think within my mind,
with each atom and vibration of my existence.
It is difficult to be without You.
That is why, all sing Your song at all times.

You remove darkness from the minds of all,
O radiant one, O most beloved.
You understand the sorrows of all,
and bring smiles on the faces of everyone.
O adorable one, primordial consciousness,
You keep performing the divine game,
with light and shade.
You are the sweetness of the honey in the flower.
You are the softness of the moon in the sky.
You are the restlessness of the afflicted heart.
You remain revered from within one’s inner core.

You brought a colourful spring resembling the fire of life.
The marks on the leaves that had been latent,
arose by Your attraction.
The flowers are smiling.
The bees are buzzing.
The air bas become colourful today.
The hope that had been torn apart
found new language in the bonds of Your love.
Nothing is left to be obtained.
I call You with all my heart.
Coming close and sit smilingly,
in this garden full of fragrance.

You came that morning with a smile,
under the illumination of the rising sun.
You came, absorbed in floral fragrance,
and with a rhythmic and resonant song.
That day or date is not in my mind,
and neither do I want to churn its memory.
For, by its vibration and the feeling of its thrill,
tears flow from my eyes even today.
You are great,
both soft and harsh.
Your glory is ever brilliant.
Thinking of You,
I forget my defects,
and remain in bliss both day and night.

On this golden, light radiating morning,
You came in a new form.
You brought thrill to my heart,
churning its hidden honey
with a smiling niipa flower.
The flower buds removed their veil,
and the fragrance of vitality started flowing.
You pulled close the distant ones,
and all the lamps became one and merged.
The closed door of my mind opened up,
and from all sides sweetness poured in.
Ideation and non-ideation mingled,
and in my meditation and incantation only love remained.

I am unable to understand
why You do not want to be attained.
You might think that by getting caught,
You would become finite.
And due to that fear You stay away.
You appear to the honey in the flower,
and get bound by the new tender leaf.
You filled the world with Your light.
Do You think that I do not know that?
The drama of Your divine game is ending.
Understanding it by intellect is difficult.
In this flow of Your divine game the world floats,
as object of meditation and spiritual effort become one.

No matter how much You tell me to forget You,
I shall never forget You!
Despite being surrounded by Your enchanting and illusive play,
I shall not yield to its attraction.
Whatever exists today will not survive tomorrow.
Whatever is sweet today will be painful tomorrow.
Whatever I am intoxicated with today,
tomorrow, I shall not look at anymore.
I know that this world is ever moving.
Yet it is neither essence nor false.
It will not remain as it is,
due to the momentum of its movement.
Thus, I shall not forget the eternal.

While I was slumbering deeply,
You came and left.
In what sleep of death I had been!
That had even snatched away my consciousness.
Raising a tinkling on the strings of Your vina,
You called me again and again.
And even after finding You close,
I had been unable to attain You.
And thus was torn apart the taste of that dream.
Dancing with rhythmic beats,
You remain in the core of my mind.
You appeared at the moment of an annihilating night.

The altar is vacant.
Come and sit,
and look at me for a moment.
I have kept my heart uplifted
and filled it with fragrance.
I am creating songs in the gentle sandal breeze.
Along the melody given by You with the sweetness of Your flute,
I keep singing.
Please listen.
Nothing belongs to me, everything is Yours.
This beautiful earth and love is adorable.
You pervade and encompass everything.
All exist due to You.
Awaken this awareness in my mind.

Tell me,
why do You play the flute?
I was busy with my work,
carrying in me greed, infatuation, fear and shyness,
yet You made me unconcerned.
I sit with ears attuned,
absorbing my mind in sweetness,
and inundating all my defects in Your colour.
Taking them all away,
You gave the sound of Your flute,
which now, I cannot forget.
That flute sound oscillates each corner of the world.
It has filled the minds of all with rhythm.
By the love of that sound,
I frenzy with melody and tune.
All this is nothing but Your mercy.

do not stay away.
Whatever I have expressed
and whatever pains I have kept suppressed in my heart,
You know it all.
I am with You.

Leaving everything else aside,
my yearning heart wants only You.
In love You come near,
and smile in my heart.
It is for You that my tears are shed.
You have lit the lamp of my life.

O my beloved one,
I know that You will come,
that will not remain far.
You know all about the
sincerity compressed within me.
Only for You I survive,
I keep thinking about You day and night.
My restless heart,
leaving behind everything,
wants only You.
With love, You approach,
and smile sweetly into the core of my heart.
Tears flow for You,
and shine on the candle base of my life.

You are the charioteer of the chariot of light.
You come, go and show glimpses of Yourself,

By Your unlimited gift and offer of affection,
You create the world of this divine game.
You love all and all love You.
There is no one else like You.
You are the ocean of grace

Because You are present, I exist,
surviving in the flow of Your mercy.
Staying with You, my spiritual pursuit is accomplished.

On this rain-bathed evening,
through the pollen and fragrance of the ketaki flower,
love keeps floating.
Crossing the enclosure between the known and the unknown,
the peacock of my mind rushes towards the infinite.
The arbor of nipa trees swings today.
In the bamboo grove there is greenness.
The pale, yellow grass has become green.
The river overflows.
Engulfing both its shores,
it vanishes in the distance.
Sitting alone in a corner of my house,
I sing my song,
to make You listen when no one is there.
Amidst the roar of storms,
I found melody,
overwhelming me with satisfaction,
both inside and outside.

When again that same dark night had come,
covering me in darkness,
and I had lost my way,
then the polestar appeared
and I could catch the beacon of proper direction.
Whenever I think of the event of that night!
I was deeply frightened and in restless pain,
when Your ears heard my sincere call for help.
Your mercy cannot be forgotten.
It provides oscillations by an unseen touch.
By Your wish all come and go.
This fact has become known.

O Lord,
amidst infinite effulgence.
Whenever I lose my tune,
You restore it again.
To Your tune,
the whole world dances,
as darkness recedes.
The darkness of this dark night is not eternal.
Within it, sparks of particles flow.
Within it, Your acquaintance is made.
You keep floating,

In the gentle southern breeze,
my mind floats,
discarding all its bondages.
The inertia of hesitation is no more.
My swan spreads its wings and rushes into the sky.
I do not keep account of what came and what went.
Neither do I know who won over me.
I want to move forward
and sing my song wholeheartedly,
recognising the unknown through rhythm and melody.
I fly in the sky like a free swan.
I carry out dialogues with planets and stars.
Taking all,
I create society.
My mind wants to break the bondages of separation and distinction.

You came during a cyclonic and rain-drenched dark night.
My small hut had its doors shut.
I was alone and asleep.
Knocking on the door with Your hand,
You broke my sleep.
With a gesture You called me out
and told me to laugh freely and vigourously.
You further told me to look at the earth in a new style.
At this, my small hut became big
and the whole universe was unified.
Stars and nebula came close,
and my mind became satiated by a flow of love.

Decorated with a garlands of stars,
the sky tells me by the sound of ankle bells,
that to my happiness there is no limit.
I take only one.
I love only one.
Other than that one,
I do not know anyone else.
In the milky nebula,
and in the sweet fragrance of the sandal breeze,
I remain with Him,
individually and collectively,
on the golden chariot of all-round hope.
To surround Him is my spiritual endeavour.
You all are my beloved ones.
I am for everyone.
Carrying the sorrows and pains of all on my shoulder,
I take them to a higher realm.
I do not let anyone stay behind.

On that darkness-filled storm,
You came to my door.
My mind was unconscious, buried in slumber.
I did not call You inside after opening the door.
You stood with a water-drenched dress,
shivering from the shudder of the storm.
Still, my sleep did not break.
I did not open the door after getting up.
Why was I like that?
O dearest, tell me.
You had been full of expectation,
throughout the whole period,
but my faults had accumulated layer beyond layer.
Why didn’t You wake me up with lightning and thunder,
so that I could have satisfied You by offering my services?

He who is the pupil of all eyes,
I do know Him,
I do recognise Him.
He remains close,
yet I did not see Him.
Why did I not understand?
Blind infatuation had engulfed me,
my mind was without rhythm and I was crying.
To have my darkness removed,
and to become filled with rhythm instead,
why didn’t I call,
why didn’t He come?
At His rhythm the whole world dances.
Why should I remain alone without any rhythm?
By His effulgence planets and stars smile.
But why does He not look at me?

O Lord Shiva,
Your long horn sounds, removing all lethargy.
The agony of inertness is no more.
The rejuvenating spirit smiles.
The sleeping earth arose,
beautified by tender leaves.
Colours are filled into flowers and fruits,
amidst the light of shining thoughts.
There is nothing to obstruct the path,
no malice, no evil and mean thoughts.
The day for forward movement has come,
under the free and star-filled sky.

This evening,
I merged the colour of my mind
into the colour of effulgence.
I had unnecessarily been in search of capital gains.
These are now no more in my mental casket.
Whatever I had searched for throughout my life,
or had wanted for myself,
today, has been found,
and is shining with irresistible glow.
My colour dissolved into the colour of the evening love.
Single-mindedly,
discarding all,
I attained one.

The red writing that You sketched
in the distant sky,
by the evening ocean,
- that mark -
will never become erased from my mind.
I have fully merged with Your colour.
I have lost my own “I” feeling.
By Your love,
by smiles and tears,
You poured forth the joy of existence.
You keep playing with colours.
The festivity of Your colour is all around.
In the flow of Your divine game,
with the upsurge of nectar,
O beloved,
You come close.

The messenger of light came rushing forth,
whispering into my ears as it sang its song:
“Do not consider this world a mere play.
In it takes place the real ebb and flow of life.
The morning sunrise and the evening sunset
take place at the direction of a single divinity.
That divinity is the real truth.
That controller is the eternal God.
This fact all must realise in their heart.
In life, do not entertain hypocrisy.
Leave nothing wanting in the realm of abstract thoughts.
Keeping this truth in the depth of your heart,
and accept Him with a non deceptive mind.”

Why are You leaving,
crushing with Your feet the garland
that I had threaded for You?
Please tell me.
You shine in the morning sun rays.
You smile in the colours of flowers.
I shall never leave Your shelter.
My energy is but meagre.
My spiritual practice has no strength.
I simply love You
and remain engrossed in You only.
Consider my sincerity, my earnestness,
as golden shackles.
Bundling the entire load of pain in my heart,
the total accumulation of my agony,
I offer a garland of love.
Accept it with a smiling face.
Grace me,
and pull me ever closer unto You.

Let the victory be Yours, O Shiva!
Selfcreated Lord!
Wielder of all animalistic tendencies!
You are the controller of the primordial
and preprimordial worlds.
With Your long and matted locks of hair,
You witness all minds.
You reside beyond the realm of intellect.
Descending from a realm of effulgence,
You made the three worlds Your abode,
and permeated all with a flow of divine nectar.
You are the Lord of all beginning.
You are ancient and eternal.
I salute You, O supreme benevolence!
You are the controller of the attributional world,
and yet, You remain beyond attributions.
You are the destroyer, controller and creator
of all objects and entities.
You sweetly smile from both within
and beyond the scope of time.
You are the controller and maintainer
of all layers of the cosmic mind!
.....................................................................
Shiva, Svayambhu (the self created Lord),
Pashupati (the Lord of animals),
the first Lord,
the Lord of the beginninglessness,
Dhurjati (one whose matted lock of hair
is always turned upwards),
the witnessing entity of all microcosmic intellect,
the repository of the universal wisdom
let the victory be Yours!
You originate from the invisible world,
and reside in the three worlds.
You are the one who provides all
with a nectarlike flow of bliss.
You are Adideva Sanatana (imperishable),
Sha'shvata (eternal), Andpuratana (the most ancient).
I salute You, O embodiment of auspiciousness!
You are endowed with all rare qualities.
You are Guna'tiita (beyond attributes),
yet all attributes (sattva, raja and tama) are sheltered in You.
You have no attachment to wealth.
You are the dearest Lord of all created objects and entities.
You are both within and without the scope of time.
You smile in all sweet objects.
You feed the entire creation.
You are the one who maintains all lokas of all created worlds.

Into the dense depth
of the garden of campaka flowers,
You came for my sake.
In Your eyes, love had mingled
and a soft smile lay on Your lips.
The fragrance of campa was floating in the air,
resonating in all the directions of the horizon.
In that fragrance,
with affection and love,
You embedded the essence of nectar.
I was walking through the forest path,
harbouring in my mind the hope of attaining You.
My overwhelming heart did not see You
and our rendezvous remained in mind only.

You arrived, flooding the world.
You pervade and fill each atom.
You look to all and love all.
In the initial dawn,
by Your brilliance,
the sleeping consciousness
awakened to life.
You vibrated the physical and psychic worlds
with a clear effulgence.
In the evenings, Your redness appears.
The birds in the nest sing Your song.
Your glory, mercy and greatness
are all revealed within experiences.

Tell me how much longer,
I shall have to keep counting time,
looking at Your path,
all the while the stalk of my mental lotus dries up?
The floral garland tied around my chignon has slipped off.
The decorative mark on my eyes has been washed off by my tears.
The decorative mark on my forehead,
and the wick of my lamp,
become extinguished each morning and evening.
The petals of flowers have become dull.
The honey in the pollen has dissolved.
The flowers have withered away and only thorns are left.
Oh, what net of illusion are You spreading?

I now understand well that You are the essence of the universe.
Like a blade of grass,
I have floated in Your stream each moment.
Yet only now do I know You.
My body and mind are but due to Your grace.
I come and go struggling with burdens of pain.
O great ocean of nectarial flows,
I am but a meagre drop of Your mercy.
Knowingly or unknowingly, I move along Your path.
Only when in sorrow, do I shout out Your name.
Ideating on You, I forget the burning of my agony.
In Your song, I find unlimited love.

I want to see You with a smiling face,
that I may look at You to my heart’s content.
I have no wealth of my own.
Whatever is present, is Yours.
With tears of love, I shall offer Your article back to You.
O Gopal (cowherd) of my mind,
stay forever on the lotus of my heart,
irrespective of whatever good or bad times there be.
With the rhythm and melody that emanates from Your flute,
I shall keep dancing, surrounded by hope.

You are mine! You are mine only!
In the great sky, surrounding the horizon,
You move smilingly as the singular moon.
In each corner of mind,
in the depth of thought,
in the decorated garden fragrant with flowers,
I think and speak of You only.
For, You are the honey in my dry life.
The clouds of pessimism come floating in the northeastern corner.
They move away by Your sandal breeze.
Other than You, none is mine.
You are the eternal companion to a lost heart.

You are the illumination of all on earth.
You are the sweetness of life.
Because You exist,
the world, light, air and all life exist too,
ever dancing to Your rhythm.
Yet, even knowing You, I forget You,
covering with dirt, language and feelings.
Keeping my eyes shut,
thinking of only my own cunningness,

Singing His song, He moved on.
In an intoxicating dream,
with a charming face,
He conquered my mind.
How many ages have I been keeping awake for Him!
I have forgotten time, date and years.
But I am unable to forget
that He gave melody and tune to my throat.
Even today I hear His footsteps,
resonating sweetly in the depth of my mind with nectar-like sound
and making me forget innumerable thunders.

It is impossible to forget Him.
He hides within the mind
and listens to unspoken words.
At His charming flute,
the mind floats on,
breaking all boundaries,
sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.
What severe agony is this!
The sound of ankle bells keeps floating,
and to it, with keenness, I constantly listen.
I weave the web of hope with all my heart,
and keep my tray of colours decorated.

Why did You go far away,
leaving me in darkness?
You forgot love.
Such a behaviour cannot be called love.
I do not want the dense darkness of the night.
I want the shining dawn.
I want moonlight in the sweet sky as the day ends.
I want You wholeheartedly,
with feelings, language,
rhythm and melody.
I want You in my vacant home,
on my empty base,
as effulgence,
moistened by my tears.

Into the stream of life,
I have floated the boat of my song.
There exists no bondage of shore whatsoever.
Innumerable rhythms now oscillate in a swing.
Today, there is no backward pull.
The victory trumpet started resonating.
The pessimist heart started decorating itself,
with dance, melody and song.
My past days have returned,
dancing and overwhelming,
telling me that they are now drifting ahead,
having broken down the prison that had kept them locked.

You are merged with light and air,
pervading all inside and outside.

In this universe You have no comparison.
You remain above and beyond form and the divine play.

the sandal breeze carries nectar.
My mind keeps floating towards the unknown.
Under whose ideation does it lose its entire sense of direction?
The lily remains looking at the sky,
The floral pollen blows with aroma.
They are restless, forgetting themselves.
Sitting alone, counting the stars,
I understand that I have lost myself.
I am aware only of that I shall attain the path,

On that full moon night, I was in deep dream.
In the capital of the delusive Maya, I saw You.
There, the fragrance of flowers was present and filled with sweetness.
There, in the hope of a sweet touch, a bee was hovering.
There, floating continuously all alone, the moon was smiling.
There, the flowers were thornless and there was no downstream tide of life.
There, sandal was pasted in an upward flow,
and coated with it, the nebula kept dancing like a mental peacock.

and kept You covered for a moment.
Your ray came, the darkness was removed
and the threat of darkness vanished.
O effulgent Virata Purusa,
Your brilliance destroyed the dirt.
That light pervaded each pore of my core with love.
You came alone,
with a smile coated with sweetness.
In seclusion,
that smile conquered me.

and for You, I have rehearsed the melody.

You are the lamp of my life,

The topaz-like (a gemstone) shining moonlight says
that it loves Your sweet smile.
Thinking of that smile,
I float in the stream of happiness.
From that smile overflows the flow of life on earth.
Hearts are filled with rhythm and melody,
and all darkness is destroyed.
From the momentary spark of that smile,
shining rubies are scattered.
O mental ruby,
stand before me for a while.
Appear in the world of forms.

The sound of Your flute has made me restless.
My mind cannot tell the difference between time and non-time.
The flute plays to the panchama melody, calling my name.
Without hesitating, I rush towards it.
My mind cannot concentrate on work,
I constantly hear the flute sing its dangerous melodies.
I am determined not to listen to it anymore.
No matter how much it calls, I will turn away.
But alas, I cannot help but to hear it.
And when I do, I become filled with remorse.
How shall I get rid of this bothersome sound?

Being able to come in dream,
why don’t You come in real life?
By pouring light onto the sunrise,
why do You remove its sweetness?
Whenever I think of You,
my mind floats adrift, breaking all limitations.
The rhythms of microcosm and macrocosm
become attuned to one another and dance.
I shall keep thinking of You my whole life
and with Your ideation I shall forget all pains.
I know that the success of life
lies by the stream of love.

My whole life I have been searching You.
Where are You keeping Yourself hidden?
I saw that You are not present at the banks of rivers,
nor in forests or on mountains and places of pilgrimage.
Nothing is ever wasted.
I shall certainly search and find You.
With tearful eyes,
I shall look at You in my home
and find You outside wherever You remain.
Many lives have gone by.
Many springs have I cried.
Much infatuation has pulled me back.
Encompassing all, You fill my heart.

It is hard to understand You by intellect.
You are beyond logic and reason,
above infatuation and the illusive maya.
You are the unlimited ocean of intuition.
Those under the influence of intense ego
cannot recognise You even on observation.
Under the net of Your illusive maya
they get entangled again and again further in their own ego.
Their ears are unable to listen
and they move on the wrong path
under the influence of their wrong thinking.
You are the polestar, unwilling to accept their darkness.

Whatever net of illusive maya You may keep weaving,
You cannot delude me.
I have taken shelter at Your feet.
I do not know anything other than You.
You are my object of meditation and contemplation,
the consciousness of my mind
in incantation and the singing of Your name.
My sadhana is for the removal of my defects
and fills me with ideation.
O ever effulgent greatest gem,
even coming into the realm of form,
You do not decay.
O one beyond time and place,
have mercy on each person.

and pour love into my vacant mind.
You are my knowledge and object of meditation,

You are sweet, pleasing like heaven
and the controller of destiny.
Your ideation,
that sweet awareness of Yours,

keeping Your love in my bosom,
remembering Your name continuously,

You are present in the moonlight.
You shine in the darkness of night.
In spring, You are the honey in the pollen of flowers.
You are also present in the burning and intense heat of the sun.
You are present in garlands of juhi and malati flowers.
Those eyes that had been shedding tears for You, now possess only joy.

On a rainy night,
silently and all by Yourself,
You secretly came.
The doors of my home had been bolted.
Neither was there any opening in the windows.
You stood drenched from the storms.
Your eyelids were covered with rain.
Standing at the door,
You knocked with Your hand.
My mind startled.
At that time, I did not respond.
I was in deep sleep, devoid of consciousness.
I did not tie the guest,
who had come after ages,
with bonds of love.

You removed the dirt of my mind
and did not expect anything in return.
By making me Your own,
You took away my load.
You took the deep darkness
and poured Your light upon me.
You told:
”Move on my path with speed.
Just see, you shall not find any difficulty.”
I told:
“Everything is Yours.
I find new life within You.
By giving my all,
I attain Your love.
Yet, You still do not take anything.”

When You came,
the sun was rising in the eastern sky.
The bee was actively searching nectar
on colourful flowers.
At that time, sitting all by myself,
I was engrossed in threading a garland,
with tied up locks of hair,
in the hope of Your coming close.
You did not come till midday.
The flowers had become dull and had dropped
and were withering away.
I kept sitting till evening,
speechlessly absorbed in a game of colours.

You are the beloved one of all.
In the universe,
You have no comparison.
O formless one,
in Your world of forms,
I am unable to find any shortage.
There is neither coming nor going for You, never ever.
You are eternal, immeasurable and unlimited.
You existed in the past,
You exist now,
You will remain in the future.
That is why I long to remain under Your shelter.
All the three worlds are filled with Your illumination.
By Your love the mind becomes restless.
There can be neither comparison nor exemplification of Yours.
Thus I beg for Your ever merciful shelter.

I come rushing forth at the call of the heart.
I am sweeter than sweetness.
I am dearest to your life.

The clouds came carrying the various colours of Your light.
They disappeared floating away.
With the sweet touch of sandal breeze,
the mental peacock danced.
The blackness that had accumulated in the mind since ages,
vanished totally by Your beauty and power of love.
O great composer,
You have charmed the world!
O beautician,
You have decorated it beautifully!
From the tinkling notes of the strings of Your viina,
O what sweetness is scattered!

On which morning,
brightened with sun rays,
did we meet in the eastern horizon?
In my hand was a floral garland to place around Your neck.
There was no third person in the world.
Neither was there any desire of achievement.
Only us two, You and I, were there.
Looking at me with smiling eyes, You laughed.
You told me,
”I shall come whenever you desire.
When an earnest will appears in the depth and core of your mind,
look inside.
Do not see the outside.”
Telling this much, You went away silently.

O spring,
with flowers,
in the hue of your fire,
colour the whole earth!
Not only in the forest,
in my mental garden too,
leave your impression.
You came after the inertia of winter,
and bloomed flowers layer by layer.
In the free air and the free sky,
sing the song of the great merger.
O spring,
stay for some days,
reduce the heat of the intense sun.
Pause your movement,
until the days when the viina shall again play the sound of tinkling rain.

You came, loved and decorated the earth with diverse colours.
You did not want anything.
You gave all
and filled the depth of minds.
You are unique in form,
immeasurable in attributes,
unlimited in vibrations of the soul.
When I think of You,
and float in Your name,
You lift me unto Your lap
and wipe away my tears.
I shall never forget You,
and never wipe You from my mind.
I shall not keep two moons in the firmament of my mind.
You are the essence of all essences.
You are unlimited bliss in a single moment.
You conquer minds and life.

amidst the fragrance of flowers,
my mind floats,
time and again, time and again.
I cannot ever forget Your mercy.
My eyes want to see only You.
On which past crimson morning,
did I come onto Your earth?
By Your grace and love,
I keep performing actions in this world.
I cannot live without thinking of You.
You are my spiritual endeavour and destination.
I do not know the past or the future.
You know all.

You are mine and only mine.
irrespective of whether or not You accept this fact.
You are in life and death,
residing in the depth of my mind, O Lord.
Looking at the past,
I do not find any beginning.
Coming from Your thought waves,
I stop and stay.
When looking towards the end,
there too, I see Your vastness only.
You are the ocean, I am a stream.
I keep merging in You,
carrying with me pain and pleasure.
Do You understand or not, O Lord,
my sincere longing and the intoxication of my mind?

On that shiny full moon night,
I was alone amidst the intense night.
There was no second body beside me,
when You came with silent footsteps.
You came without saying anything.
You poured out a flow of love
but did not take anything in return.
I could not speak about my mental feelings.
The words of my heart remained in my mind only.
I cannot understand at all,
Your divine play, O Beloved!
Your coming and smiling, was it a mere delusion?
This time, when You come,
I shall hold You in my home
and make You stay in my smiling mental world.

You came on a cloudy night, unseen by all.
I was in a closed house.
Outside, it was raining.
The dense conglomeration of clouds
had covered the smile of the moon,
mutually and silently
mixing with my mental darkness.
You came rain-drenched
and opened the bolt of my door.
You made me Your own
by the tinkling of Your viina.

You filled all the seven layers of the mind
with Your own self.
You dance on the hundred-petalled lotus.
Symbolising hopes and aspirations,
O beloved,
You remain vibrant in everyone’s life.
In this world You have no comparison.
Irrespective of whether my eyes are open or closed,
whichever direction I look at,
I do not find anything permanent or eternal besides You.
You pour Your divine effulgence
upon the faces of those who are hopeless and dejected.
I see You in the intense and dark night.
I find You in the sweet moonlight.
You are with me all the time,
in both happiness and hopelessness.
You are excellence amongst the best.

I am unable to recognise You.
You came pouring out light.
You went away saying You would return.
It is impossible to forget You.
You swung the core of my heart.
I sit alone with a garland in hand to place around Your neck.
Your charming smile stirs my being.
Your sweet memory resonates even today.
I love You.
I cry and laugh for You only.
I want You close day and night,
amidst an affluence of tears.

With glowing series of flashes,
You came into this three-layered world.
Having removed the fatigue of the path
and mistakes of understanding,
You provided peace of mind.
No more darkness remains
and the lotus of pain does not wither away anymore.
Offering my mental worship,
You secludedly remain in my mind.
Cool lightning dances in life.
Each person found consciousness.
Floating amidst illumination,
in the free sky,
all started moving unto You.

Tell me why.
Did it come into the floral garden or into the mental garden?
Due to it,
the smile of the moon and the joy of flowers began to overflow.
Today the sky and the air are intoxicated
and rise up with colourful decoration.
Whose sound was found
in the lonely tune of the strings of the viina?
Why did the bee suddenly come today
and sat down on the mental flower?
It stays till the end of everything.
Why so? Who knows?

The intoxicating wind blew through the sweet garden.
Who provided the jerk, making me swing,
and then went away?
I seem to know I recognise Him.
I know Him to some extent.
At the end, I assume Him close.
He dwells in fire as its burning power.
He remains as whiteness in its whiteness.
He stays in the mental casket
and mingles with the light-scattering morning.
He lives as the moving power in electricity
and as colourful love in coloured mornings.
He scattered love throughout the world.
I do not know where in the world He is not.

I keep estimating and speaking to myself.
Yet peace does not come to mind.
You have given me beyond expectation.
But all this wealth,
I hold and want to enhance.
What for, alas, I do not know.
I went on making mistakes after mistakes.
I never wanted to look towards consciousness.
Today, I attained Your illumination,

In this world, You are One without a second.
You destroy the darkness of mind
and the fog of the world,
and with the torch of knowledge,
You remove my ignorance.
Many ages have passed in the flow of creation.
Many stars have fallen innumerable times.
Many cries and smiles,
many comings and goings,
have taken place at Your feet,
O revered One!
How many dark and moonlit nights,
how many streams of joy and rivers of sorrows,
how many kinds of achievements
and how many desires on unsatisfied faces,
keep dancing and surrounding You!
O One to be ever remembered!

In the distant sky,
in the evening sea,
whose sparks come floating?
What do they say?
What message do they carry?
They speak through gesture and not through language.
I am unable to understand all this.
I cannot hold that call in my mind.
It comes and goes,
and hides in my eyelids.
I then understand that He loves me.
Whose particles of sparks are they?
Who is that Purusa,
who snatches the mind and destroys all dirt?
Even after getting Him close,
I do not attain Him.
Even after knowing Him,
I do not understand Him.
I understand only that He pervades all,
that He remains mingled within all.

I do not carry a load of virtues.
Hence I beg You for Your grace without cunningness.
My confidence and shelter is Your boon of fearlessness (Varabhaya Mudra).
I have no other than You.
I have originated in Your creative phase.
My shelter is within Your shade.
In Your tranquility lies my final death,
terminating the revolution of coming and going.
The happiness of my life takes place by Your mercy.
Without You, unbearable sorrow is left.
The notes that You play on strings of my viina
amount to all the flows of nectar on earth.

You came into my mind and loved me.
I do not remember what I said.
I am the microcosm and You are the Macrocosm.
I am limited on all sides.
Everyone in this world knows Your unlimited, infinite glory.
My desires and achievements,
give importance to that which is meagre.
Make me Your own
through rhythm, melody, tune and sound.

The fairy came to the flower garden,
and gave intoxication by its fragrance.
All the bees that were sleeping
awakened by that fragrance and came rushing forth.
In the depth of my mental garden,
He smiles each moment.
What tinkling note resounds from His flute and by His smile!
I am unable to forget Him.
In this world, He has no comparison.
Beyond thought,
He, adorned in beauty and attributes,
came into my fold.

I continued searching You,
walking from path to path,
in forests, mountains and riverbanks,
wandering through places of pilgrimage
and in the meanings of the scriptures.
But I did not find You face to face anywhere.
No vibration arose in my consciousness.
Moving about continuously like a machine,
I called You with profound tears.
Keeping my eyes blinded with a piece of cloth,
I used to perform fasting, take vows, and so on.
Yet, the one for whom all these arrangements were made,
I never searched within.

On the play stage of my life,
Who are You, coming so suddenly?
I do not recognise or know You.
Still, You gave me consolation and confidence.
The distance between You and me
is like that of an atom and the Himalayas.
Still, You came close to me,
and gave hope to my broken heart,
O magnanimous One.
I see You again and again,
sometimes near and sometimes far away.
You have scattered Yourself in hundreds of styles,
removing darkness with illumination.

Tell me, what can I give You?

secretly and in isolation, shape me.

You decorated the forest with fruits and flowers.
Who are You?
You entered my being without speaking, without telling anything.
Your coming and going,
Your sweet smile,
have captured my mind without me being aware of it.
You kept me surrounded by hundreds of styles.
You poured on me Your love and song.
I know You are mine,
but I am unable to hold You.
You float on in the flow of Your divine play.
What sort of acting is this?
You may be known
but it is not possible to hold You.
With meagre capacity,
it is difficult to understand You.
Mercifully, You pull me unto Your ocean of effulgence,
with immeasurable and unlimited rhythm,
with beats and melody.

Why did You not respond?
I do not call You in my core.
Due to shyness I become dumb.
You are with me in light and darkness.
You surround me amidst happiness and misery.
You are dear and adorable to all.
Yet You do not come close.

You are present in the middle
and will remain in the end.
I cannot survive without You.
Hence, I beg for Your mercy.
Ideating on You, I lose myself.

Some came close with love, some did not.
But irrespective of whether people come or not, You call all.
Some say You are merciful.
Some say You should not be so harsh.

The moon smiled,
the clouds drifted past.
In the sandal breeze
and in the distant sky
the nectar of consciousness arose.
In their mental, physical and spiritual spheres,
all long for that moonlight.
With a heavenly song and in joyful spirit,
the sweet spring danced.
In that environment,
taking You as its object,
my mind floated away far and further still.
I wanted to look closely and closer still,
as the moon kept playing with the clouds.

With the rhythm of movement, time flows.

the moon also sets.
You alone keep smiling.
Ages past ages come and go.
The sun set is again seen.
The lost heart reattains life by Your grace.

my mind remains engrossed in Your love and affection.
O beloved, O adorable one, come!

Coming and going is for all.

Amidst the chirping of birds
and the fanning of a sandal breeze,
I called You and told:
“I have no second moon in my sky.
My mind floats in Your smiling moonlight.
It cries and smiles
and surrounds You in pain and pleasure,
O Lord!
I have loved You in life and death,
in each moment of my existence.
Remembering You,
I float in tears,
in my mental temple,
again and again.”

Losing the path in the forest that evening,
I cried.
And You knew it.
I asked You to show me the direction.
And You accepted that I love You.
The dark cloud had covered the moon.
And so had the leaves and flowers on the branches of trees.
The lamp that had been with me,
became extinguished.
I called You in the dark.
And You heard it.
You came and removed all those obstructing leaves and branches
and blew far away the black clouds in the sky.
Coming close,
You held my hand without the least hesitation.

Why don’t You come close?
Why do You stay away from me?
Through innumerable games and plays,
You bestow the fragrance of love.
I told:
”Stop the wheel of Your cart,
I want You alone.
Do not make me waste my call.
Consider my prayer.”
I further told:
“Come still closer.
I have many more things to tell You.
They have remained accumulated for ages
because You did not listen.”

You came into my eyes with gentle steps.
Nobody shall ever knows this.
Wholeheartedly, in my arbor,
You gave me Your pure love.
That day has passed long ago.
It floated away in beauty, colour and melody.
Today I survive due to Your grace,
fructifying my sadhana, my spiritual endeavour.
The event of that day remains in my mind till today.
Its memory dances in my mind even now.
You came and went, leaving love.
In this world You have no comparison.

You came bestowing mercy upon me.
My door had been closed at that time.
With You own hands, You opened the door bolt.
Into the creeper that had been drying up,
into the bud of love that had been withering,
You bloomed flowers and fulfilled hopes.
I attained You with all my heart.
Do not go!
Stay near!
Many more things I have to say.
Many songs I shall sing.
Many painful agonies I shall express to You.
About it all, I have to speak to You.

Your stage is vast.
Within it I am a meagre particle.
Tell me,
other than knowing and recognising You,
what else should I want?
The answer to this “why?” is not with me.
That is why, O Dearest,
I enquire from You.
Come close and sit in my meditation,
thereby letting me know.

On that day’s evening,
You and I had been sitting under a bakul tree.
Under the smile of moon and in the soft fragrance,
I floated along the cheerful sway of melody.
You told:
”See, I have come,
crossing the very harsh desert,
crossing the high mountain,
listening to your call in the blue sky.”
Thereafter we never met again.
That fractional moon did not reappear in the sky.
That mark of beauty in the flower,
which You had applied to it that day,
I did not see again.

I constantly remember You.

For You only I live and die.

Keep witnessing me with colour and fragrance,

in pain and pleasure,
with smiling illumination in the world of feelings.

You came with silent steps,
making flowers bloom in diversities of colours.
You poured a smile on the faces of the stars
by swimming through the darkness of sky and ocean.
The sandal breeze came from the south.
The northern wind came with snowy clouds.
You placed the entire world,
below Your feet
with rhythm, beats and dances.
Whatever exists in this three-sphered world,
everything dances surrounding You,
everything dances within Your mind.
All beg for Your mercy non-stop.
All know You as their dearest one.

O Lord,
it is difficult to understand Your divine game, Your liila.
Sometimes You make us smile,
sometimes You make us cry.
You do not allow Yourself to be understood well.
You come running from the bosom of heaven
and silently stay in the deep recess of the mind.
Unseen, You destroy all darkness.
You know what everyone is doing and thinking.
You move through the eternal game, Your liila,
with Your cart.
The way You go becomes the path.
All theories and principles come but to merge in You.
All schools and modes of music sing but Your song.

The cart on which You move,
has been constructed with mental gems.
The path that You have selected,
is surrounded by constant light.
You do not want anything from anyone.
You keep giving to whoever wants anything.
You are full of lustre and brilliance,
wearing golden ankle bells
as well as permanent and temporary heaps of articles.
What else is there for me to give You?
Whatever belongs to me is not actually mine.
Were I to consider Your articles as mine,
I would become lost in my own ego.

through song after song,
You brought about resounding rhythm.
Those who dwelled in far off, unknown melodies,
came close and mingled with life.
The melody that You sung, fulfilling my heart
with the fragrance of rhythmic metrical quality,
with the total collection of all inner sweetness,
its memory remains in the forest of the mind.
In the three worlds there is no other entity besides You.
You have scattered Yourself into the resonance of melody.
You were present in the past and exist now dancing in each atom.
You remain present in each pore as the garden of love.

At the end of darkness, light comes.
The peacock of mind that cries today,
smiles and spreads its wing tomorrow.
Keep this essence of reality in mind.
Life is not just wastefulness.
Light is there, darkness is also there.
Sweetness and poison are mixed together.
This earth is surrounded by light.
It is full of colourful paper balloons.
They provide satisfaction and consolation to the heart.
Yet, they come through shade.

There is no comparison to this mercilessness.
You do not look back again.
And even seeing it, You ignore me.
Still I call You, without forgetting.
I only forget that You have kept me forgotten.
I am meagre, surrounded by limitations.

You are great, unlimited, the highest.

With charming adornments,
coming into my mind this morning,
who are You?
Even after recognising You,
it is impossible to understand You properly,
due to You changing Your form each moment.
When I think that I have recognised and known Your real form,
the next moment,
by impinging a blow,
You make it clear that I am unable to understand You.
When ego arises in my mind,
the desire for getting honour also arises.
You make me understand
that in this muddy house everything is destructible
and will be destroyed in course of time.

With the sound of Your ankle bell,

In the deep corner of the sleeping mind,
You aroused will.
Within Your vibration,
in all desires and achievements,
all the sincere desires of mind get satiated,
if You wish it so,

On this autumnal evening,
amidst the sandal breeze,
my mind longs to attain You.
It drifts into the sky
intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers
and the smile of the moon.
Today I have lost all bondages and obstacles.
For You I have shed away all fear and shyness.
Into the free sphere,
where birds fly,
my mind floats.
At each step there used to be obstruction of inertial dogma.
I had not been able sing that carefully rehearsed song of liberation.
Alas, forgetting the song,
and ignoring the tune,
I had been sleeping in a prison.

I want You in my meditation.
Do come to my mind and life!
On the altar of my mental garden,
having decorated it with flowers,
I sit,
awaiting You.
There is no end to desires.
Hence, remain ever close to me.
O eternal touchstone,
look at me!
Attaining You,
language becomes stupefied
and hope is fulfilled.
Above desire and achievement,
floats Your song,
the satisfying current in the stream of melody.

Along the frenzied breeze,
in a sweet dream,
who are You who came on this auspicious moment?
I could not recognise You.
I did not call You close.
I did not invite You to stay in my mental garden.
I did not know You were my own,
the nearest amongst our own ones,
the collection of all love.
Today my heart begs for You,
for Your vicinity,
O beloved,
amidst this charming and intense mental vibration.
If only You were to come down mercifully,
to remain with me forever.
You are the water in the intense sun
and the warming fire in the snowy winter.
Stay as softness with a smiling face.

I wanted You in each action of mine.
I never wanted You from a distance only.
Why then do You stay away from me?
I have not been able to understand
that You are so close,
filling my whole existence
both within and without.
Due to the call of inertia,
again and again,
I had forgotten my purpose and vow.
I had forgotten the path and Your work.
Now tears flow and hopelessness arises.
Why had I been wastefully thinking of only my own self?
Today, like the scent of the ketakii flower in times of rain,
the fragrance of my heart floats into the sky,
piercing the darkness.
It floats towards infinity, looking for You.

Through the gaps of dark clouds,
He provides glimpses of the ray of hope.
Life is not only dark.
Both good and bad are mixed in it.
One who is hated today
and considered worse than a human being,
may become a god tomorrow,
if the Lord,
the ocean of grace,
wants so.
Those who are rich and respected today,
whose formidable might is heard,
tomorrow may be crushed to dust,
if the Lord becomes unfavourable.

I have been loving You
with beauty,
colour and melody.
I have been longing for You
within my intuitive faculty.
Yet, You did not look at me.
You did not respond to my call.
You remained immeasurably far.
My wishes prove negligible before You.
My attainments are likewise valueless for You.
Whatever gem I screen from the ocean, You ignore.
Dear one,
I am a particle,
You are Greatness.
I remain engrossed in mean things
while You perform greatest deeds.
Your existence is with millions and millions of unit “I”s.
Who can understand You?

In the moist breeze,
with smiling lips,
You came to my home.
My eyes were filled with tears of bliss.
I did not ask You to come in and sit down.
You took Your seat by Yourself
and enquired about my welfare.
The love that You offered
was full of floral fragrance.
The moist breeze came again this time,
making Your song resound in my ears.
In a momentary thrill and with unobstructed illumination,
it made me float in an ocean of melodies.

Disliking the moonlight,
You remained hidden in darkness.
Many times I came and went
and danced around You.
But I never forgot You, any time.
O polestar of my life,
You fill my core.
Losing myself in Your beautiful form,
I merge into the infinite.

With a face just like a flower petal,
You came into my mind.
Who will ever know that
You smiled like the brilliant moon?
Whatever closed doors there were, opened up.
The free flowing air entered through the window.
You made me know the unknown.
Our acquaintance was made in seclusion.
You are as secret as the cascade in my mind.
In the crowded world,
You only are my own.
Whether You be near or far,
You remain in my mind,
ever filling its sweet dream.

Talking about my own self only,
eras have passed.
Now tell about Your gospel,
so that on hearing it,
my ears may become satiated.
To listen to that single fact,
many lives I have remained awake.
For the glimpse of that single smile,
my mind aspires.
I shall no longer talk about myself,
about the hopes and pains of this small mind.
O great ocean,
towards You,
this small point,
this unit “I”,
shall rush!

To my dark life,
You brought illumination,
dissolving into it Your effulgent Self.
You do not distinguish between who is learned and who is not.
You indiscriminately pour the nectar of Your grace on the afflicted.
He doesn’t know his own role and purpose.
He doesn’t want to find the real cause.
He does everything without purpose.
He considers the distant one close and the near one far.
He doesn’t know that You reside within his core.
You know what purpose each one has.
You bring the heat of summer,
the cold of winter
and You bring rains.
You provide language and hope to the dumb.
You perform all works all alone.

You are the motivating force of the inert.
In the wheels of Your cart, there is unlimited speed.
The brilliance that You scattered in all directions,

By awakening within all a sincere will,

lead all towards perfection.

Holding on to the path of effulgence,
those who have come a long way,
occupy a place within You.
To think that they are lost is a mistake.
They vibrate still on that oscillating swing,
on the latitude of memory,
along the rays of the sun.
Amidst those never ending and ever recurring losses,
I wonder what there is that does not get lost.
You exist with the great Tandava dance,
taking along with You the entire world.
You remain in light
and in the pores of darkness.
Whether there be shortage and abundance of devotion,
with a subtle smile,
You resonate within everyone’s core.

in the essence of flowers,

come.
Come in dance, song, rhythm
and in the tunes of melody.
Come intimately into my restless mind
when I deeply long and think of You.
I shall not worry, should You be unable to come.

You are present in the expanse of the blue sky.
In my sky, do know that there is no second moon.
In my hope, You remain merged.

You came to this poor man’s hut,
oblivious of the path and the date.
Why, I do not know.
I do not have any strength of sadhana,
nor the virtue of any good deeds.
But even so, You came.
This is but Your causeless grace.
What I could have never imagined,
You have today turned into actual reality, in this life of mine.
Affectionate to the devotees,
You pour forth Your grace,
not being able to bear my tearful eyes.
Calling You again and again,
my throat has become sore.
Contemplating on You,
I cry day and night.
With compassion,
and by mistakenly treading a wrong path,
You came today,
with an overflowing fountain of divine effulgence.
