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].

O embodiment of effulgence!
We were introduced to one another
in the hue of dawn,
in the colouring of hearts.
I did not know nor understood why people love.
You were alone in my sky,
pouring light all around.
In Your flash, with unlimited shiver,
I was absorbed.
My heart became flooded
with rhythm and songs,
and went dancing unto You.
By Your touch,
full of joy,
I attained You,
O embodiment of consciousness!

I heard much about You,
but am unable to recognise You.
What pity!
After much pondering,
this much only could I understand:
that to Your grace
there is no alternative.
How can a mere drop attain the ocean?
It can't help but to dissolve into it.
If the light of a lamp wishes to hold the moon,
it has no alternative but to become the moonlight itself.
The love between You and me,
knowingly or unknowingly,
has been lasting for ages.
The love You awaken
removes all ignorance
and bestows eternal knowledge.

Do not forget
that You love me.
Do not tear the garland
that I threaded.
Do not allow the honey
that started flowing in my mind,
at the time of sunrise,
to dry up
by the heat of fire or intense sunshine.
Do not allow the memory
of the song that we sang together,
in the light bathing moonlit night,
to be wiped out by storms and meteors.
Do not forget You once loved me.
I have woven this garland with much devotion.
Please do not tear it.
Since the moment of dawn
I have been carrying nectar in my heart.
Let not blazing fire and scorching sun dry it.
On many a full moon night,
washed in moonshine,
we sang together.
Let not blasts of storms and strikes by meteors
wipe out the trail of that memory.

You came and loved,
but You went away right after, why?
Tell me.
Your departing,
soon after Your arrival,
gives only pain.
Not to come at all
would have been the better thing to do.
The garland that You put on,
spread its fragrance.
Yet, now only the thread
of the flowers that withered,
remains.
Its memory still shines on.
The seat on which You were seated,
absorbed in sweetness,
still brings sighs in the recess of my heart.
Its memory remains vibrant even today,
in pain and in pleasure.

After much calling,
at last You came today.
But You immediately told me
You were again to leave.
In my mind,
I decorated the altar of my heart.
This time I shall not allow You to go.
From selected flowers
I threaded my garland.
To offer my love,
I brought a colourful bouquet.
Just remain seated and watch,
I shall decorate You with all my heart.
From the essence of mental sandal,
I made a carefully threaded
mental garland for You.
With a new colour in mind,
I shall contemplate Your pink feet.

Come in waves of effulgence.
Come, come, come.
If darkness engulfs me
and there is no sympathiser,
pierce through the darkness,
and, calling me,
smile from within me.
I move on by Your grace,
surmounting obstacles.
I cross even high mountains.
I know You love the forward movement.
There is no beginning to my movement,
neither is there an end to it.

On the path of movement so many thorns lie.
Why is that?
I am unable to understand it.
The time spent in lifting up those thorns
could have been utilised in work.
I have heard that if obstructions come
in a full fledged way,
it arouses energy to ideate on You.
This reason for so much obstruction consoles me.
If darkness was not there,
the value of light would not be understood.
The distressed mind only
understands the magnitude of bliss.
Why are there so many thorns on the path?
I cannot understand this.
The time I spent to pick up these thorns
could have been utilised for work.
If there is obstructions on the path,
strength increases
and the mind becomes engrossed in Your thought.
Maybe this is the reason why
You create so many obstructions.
If there had been no darkness,
who could have understood the value of light?
Only the mind that is engrossed in pain and suffering
can realise the intensity of happiness.

You continue showing to me rays of light
but keep forgetting the event of Your arrival.
You keep me surviving in hope
but maintain Yourself hidden.
You keep me bound
in hundreds of blind attachments.
What sort of divine game
do You play with me?
You engross all in deep slumber
but always remain awake Yourself.
The colourful sky,
the essence of flowers,
the sweetness absorbed sandal breeze,
behind them all,
You smile with joy.
Holding or touching You
also takes place with a smile.

By Your grace.
You came in the night,
in the midst of
storms, typhoons and heavy rains.
On a secluded forest path,
alone and in silence,
You stepped forth.
You came
during roars of thunder and burning lights,
and sat on the throne of my heart.
Without heeding obstructions,
You advanced full of love.
It rained heavily
and Your head was wet,
Your eye lids were covered with water.
Unassailed by it all,
You came to show Your form.

The chariot of light moves on.
It moves on and on.
Passing through a path strewn with shiuli flowers,
it adjoins the forest of tall kash grass,
and, crossing fields wet with dew,
it advances, looking towards the sky.
Taking along the essence of life,
with light, flashing in the corner of mind,
it crushes the walls of obstruction,
and rushes on to an unknown destination.
Removing the accumulated clouds,
raising colours in the sky,
and providing a sweet touch,
it sings the song of the far distance.

O dear Lord,
You came,
with the enchanting ketaki fragrance,
looking for my lost heart
during a night of intense rain.
In total darkness,
Your unique ankle bell
tinkled again and again.
Single handedly,
You removed my entire darkness,
like a single moon,
that radiates light in the blue sky.
O Lord of all places of pilgrimage,
You are the companion of all,
You are revered by all hearts equally.
You instantly removed my accumulated agonies.
And pulled off my entire load of disappointment.
I used to float about aimlessly.
You placed me in the tide,
O most respected entity!

The fog of winter is gone,
the stars started glittering in the sky.
You came smiling
through the soft and sweet sandal breeze.
Tender leaves grew
and buds bloomed on dry branches.
A warm flow started flowing in the sea.
The chirping of birds carried sweetness,
and the buds of flowers were filled with nectar.
In my mind I decorate the festival of light
to please You.
O beautiful one,
come with red feet,
and colour the earth in various hues.
Decorating my eyes with the mark of love,
come close into my waiting heart.

This mutual knowledge is confined to the two of us only.
Whom should I convey the feelings of my mind?
Who on this earth can I call my own?
How many agonies remain gathered in my mind?
How many inspiring and good policies merely peek out of it?
How much pain and repentance simultaneously burn inside me?
How many days come and pass by uselessly?
How many nights only tell stories?
How many mirages dry up and
how many hopes float away in delusion?

You are the ray of hope in the darkness.
Removing all agonies,
You drew a bright pious mark.
O dear one,
amidst the dark and rainy night,
You shine like the lightning.
O incomparable one,
on the shivering,
yet smiling, niipa bud pollen,
You poured fragrance.
You are the encouraging and heavenly melody,
to a broken heart.
You continuously provide inspirations
for the onward movements on the path.
You never encourage to pause due to obstruction.
You are activity to a dead heart.
You are the sweet embodiment,
full of rhythm and colours.
You are the ray of light in darkness.
You remove all the guilt of the mind,
and paint it in white effulgence.
In the rainy night of cimmerian darkness,
You shine forth as lightning!
Into the pollen of thrilled and vibrating flowers
You pour enticing fragrance.
You are the colourful hope of the broken heart.
You provide inspiration to move forward.
You never stop when facing obstructions.
You are the vitality in morose life.
You remain full of rhythm, colour and sweetness.
O Lord, You are so full of rhythm and sweetness!

Today I lost myself.
What for did I come to this world?
When I probe into finding out,
I realise that I came to perform action.
I had tiredness from previous movements;
I carried the delusion of many mistakes.
I moved on the path
forgetting my purpose
and spoiled things.
Today, tiredness does not arise.
Delusion does no longer enter my mind.
I found my objective in attaining You
by surrendering myself.

When we first met,
in an upsurge of love,
the sun illuminated all sides,
with the crimson colour of dawn.
The flowers emanated their call with open petals,
in a sweet sentiment, forgetting all shyness.
My heart was shivering and its pollen were vibrating.
Today, the birds chirp and sing songs,
filling their nests with rhythm.
That chirping fills love into human beings.

Is it You who came singing,
in this rain, absorbed in water drops?
The kadamba flower pollen shivers with joy.
The peacock joyously dances and sings in rhythm.
The mental bees in groups rush on
with the hope of reaching their pollen.
The murmuring of the stream resonates with joy,
and the cane grove vibrates with new enthusiasm.
The six petaled flowers,
full of fragrance and honey,
intensely long for Him today.

You are the goal of my meditation.
You are the dearest of my heart.
For You alone in each generation
I return again & again.
I always want to have You with me.
My restless mind goes out towards You.
I know that You are the only entity
and that You are my dearest one:
the essence of my existence.
What do You desire?
What do You want,
remaining so distant from me?
Why do You play with me?
I am weeping.
Is it this You want?
If this gives You pleasure,
then I shall go on weeping.
You are the object of my meditation,
You are the dearest of my life.
Lifetime after lifetime
I come to this earth,
just for You, O beloved one!
I want You ever beside me.
I move along Your path without breath or pause.
I know You are the essence of my life,
my dearest and the most adorable one.
Why do You remain far from me?
Please tell me what You expect from me.
Why do You make me cry
in the games of Your play?
If my weeping gives You joy,
then let me weep for You.

Come into my temple.
In each era,
I have constructed a temple
in expectation of Your arrival.
With a longing from my heart,
I have prepared my altar
that You might relax after carrying out millions of actions.
I continuously look for You
on the path of Your arrival.
I await You with the tinkling sound
of my mental viina.
Numerous springs have passed,
leaving behind imprints of different colours.
Innumerable stars are set in golden light,
but You did not come along that path.
Please come into the temple of my life.
I have preserved this shelter for eons and eons,
for Your advent only.
I erected this altar with the feelings of my life,
With the jingling sound of the viina of my heart.
I hope and look forward to that You
might once rest there after accomplishing millions of deeds.
So many beginnings of spring went by,
which brought about many a colour.
So many stars twinkle with golden light.
And yet, You do not appear on the road.

I attained You
in the flame of fire that burns the ego.
I see Your glory
in the ocean dance that destroys meanness.
In points of light on the deep blue sky,
stars are reflected.
In the meagre heart,
an unlimitedly deep ocean is present.
In Your creation,
O moon of the universe,
no existence other than Yours is present.
Feelings of love and affection,
of energetic love
and of heart filled love reside in You.
Within You,
all desires and thirsts are located.
That is why,
O formless one,
I cherish You.

What love of Yours this is!
You smile from a distance,
filling me with colourful hope.
In the collection of blue waters,
You swing vibrantly as illusive lotus.
O Lord of the divine game,
in an illusory and deceptive style
You come and go sweetness filled.
The nebula in the blue sky,
remains ever smeared with sandal
and Your sweet language of love
is marked with melody and tune.
You have such deep love for me!
Your far away smile fills me with new aspirations.
The lotuses in Your divine game
are moving as lively as ever
stirred by the vibrations of ocean waves.
In this sweet game
You are the moving consciousness.
The language of Your love
is filled with the melodies of the blue sky.
The distant nebula remain ever sweetened
intoxicated by the fragrance and coolness of sandalwood.

Even after losing,
You do not accept defeat.
Amidst sufferings,
You bring living beings to this world,
and subsequently have them struggle
to free themselves from it.
On flowers,
thorns are present.
On tides,
a flow also persists.
The bees await to taste the honey,
the essence of this nectar does not mix.
Providing the experience of pleasure,
You maintain pains along with it.
Washing off the agony of darkness,
You place the garland of glory on us.
Although You are in defeat,
You won't accept it.
You bring all creatures for suffering only
and due to it, they leave this creation.
There are thorns with the flowers
and the ebb and rising flow take place side by side.
In the beehive the bees suffer pain
and yet, in it lies the essence of nectar,
without which nothing can exist.
Did You keep pains and sorrows
tied to happiness
to make us realise Your deep feelings?
O Lord,
carrying the load of insult,
You adorn us with the necklace of reputation!

spreading His wings in this darkness?
You do good to all,
and provide us with benevolent intellect.
In Your love lies all goodness.
The sky was full of darkness
and within mind it was still darker.
Overcasting it all,
You poured forth effulgence.
The prajapati (a flying creature) glides in light,
small stars smile in light,
and my sweet heart,
with melody and dance,
floats adrift in light.
Who has come,
into this darkness,
opening the wings of the land of light?
You do good to everyone
and hold high benevolent intellect.
You make good sit together with goodness.
There was pitch darkness covering the sky
and in the mind too, darkness prevailed.
You brought about a flow of light
that enlightened the entire black surface.
The butterfly is flying in the light,
the little stars are smiling
and sweet hearts flow
with rhythm and melodies.

If there be need to forget You,
tell me about whom I should think?
With what consolation did I come
to this void world?
I called You much,
but You did not allow Yourself to be attained.
That is why, I cannot but think this way.
When I see the sky touching mountains,
I find that they also keep their head bowed
and remain covered with white ice.
By melting into tears,
they display their reverence for Your pink feet.
The blue ocean,
overwhelmingly with a loud roar,
rushes unto Your greatness.
With arms spread out wide,
filled with sweet vitality,
it desires to get hold of You.

You lifted me up onto the chariot of light.
My condition was almost like dead,
passing time in wasteful actions.

My life's oath is to dispel the illusion of maya
by doing Your sadhana.

Into dry hearts,

and yet, I become tired of searching You.
You are present in the high waves of the ocean.
You are in solitude and in the noisy forest.
On every pathway,
You remain with me in a calm and tranquil state.
In the clear blue sky,

and in the sweet fragrance of flowers.
You remain ever peaceful,
amidst all the known and all the unknown,
O infinite one!
O infinite Lord, I want only You.
I know that You surround me,
but still I cannot find You.
You are in the waves of the great ocean.
You are in loneliness.
You are in the forest and in the chirping of birds.
You are ever present in all walks of life.
You remain calm and quiet.

You are in in the sweetness of the flowers in gardens forests.
Amidst all known and unknown things,
You are silently present.

Who can attain You
by the power of intellect?
All attain their intellect by Your grace only.
Many a time did I come to this earth
and again left,
and observed it all with my intellect.
On each step of mine,
I realised my ignorance.
I came to the conclusion
that, in this world,
You are the only essence.
I used to conceal this ignorance
on my face,
on my eyes
and in my conduct.
And due to the load of agony,
caused by this concealment,
I used to decline further.
When I attained intuition,
then I understood,
that Yours is a non causal grace.
Who can find You with the intellect
when everybody acquires intellect from You?
So many times I came and left this earth.
Everything did I measure with intellect.
I now realise my ignorance at every step I made.
You are the only real substance in this universe.
In my expressions I tried to cover up my ignorance,
with the pressure of that guilt,
I degenerated myself.
But You awakened me
and I ultimately realised
Your grace unexpectedly showering down upon me.

Sitting in solitude,
meditating on You,
I am threading a garland.
In the sandal breeze,
on the bank of the river,
only Your picture reflects.
The murmuring sound of the stream
is requesting me to listen:
"Your companion is everyone's companion.
It is not possible to see only Him."
The sandal breeze told me
it would have been better
had I not loved Him.
He was the galaxy of distant sky,
smiling sweetly from afar.
And yet, by my love,
I am confident of attaining Him
This love also,
I learned from Him alone.
Sitting alone in His ideation,
I made a garland for Him alone.
In the fragrance laden breeze from the mountains,
by the bank of the river,
there was nothing but His presence.
The playful waters making chalchal words
had called me, "Listen, O companion,
Your Parama Purus'a is dear to all,
and so He cannot be seen separately."
The fragrance laden breeze from the mountains
went on saying while blowing:
"It would have been safer not to love Him so dearly,
for He is the star of the sky,
the distant nebula,
He smiles sweetly from the distance."
By the love He taught me, I shall attain Him.
Alone, absorbed in deep contemplation of Him,
I have woven a garland.
Only His shadow was to be seen
on the riverbanks as the southern wind blew.
The bubbling waters said,
"Listen, my friend,
Your Friend is the friend of all;
You will not get the chance to see Him alone."
The southern breeze whispered,
"It would be better had You not loved Him;
He is like a star in the sky, a distant nebula;
He sends His sweet smile from afar."
I shall yet attain Him through my love,
And I learned this lesson of love from Him.

Opening the door of my dark house,

I had closed the window,

and was in sleep
in my dark house,

In my mind,

that whatever I know,
nobody else knows.
You entered into my heart
with the adornment of a king
and pointed at my ignorance.

In the depth of my mind,
secretly,
I have been seeking You,
O companion!
Tell me,
why did You come to me?
Into this garden,
in silence?
You came and stood smilingly, why?
The flowers have become dull,
the creepers have bowed
and the earth has cracked
due to the intense sun and heat.
Have You forgotten all about it?
The cuckoo does no longer coo sweetly.
The nightingale does not sing with melody and rhythm.
The separated ones cry constantly.
And all are restless with hurt sentiments and agony.
In the core of my heart I ask hidingly,
O Lord,
why have You come for me,
why have You come
and stood with a soft smile
silently in a lonely forest?
The flowers are fading,
perhaps due to the strong sunshine,
and the creepers are bending down.
The earth is broken from this heat.
Have You forgotten about it?
The cuckoos left, singing sweetly.
The nightingales are no more singing melodiously.
The lower beings, estranged in separation of You,
are offended and weep.
You have overwhelmed everyone.

O Lord,
for You,
I am threading a garland,
pouring into it all the sweetness of my heart.
Ideating on You
tears float from my eyes.
I have no strength of sadhana,
neither any weight of good actions.
That is why, I constantly beg for Your mercy
that, with Your force, my hopes be fulfilled.
I have neither mundane nor spiritual knowledge.
The thread of my love has not been woven either.
Only tears flowing from eyes with pain do I possess.
With what deception do You keep deluding me?
I have strung a garland for You,
with all the sweetness of my heart.
O Lord,
With tears, I have surrendered myself unto Your ideation.
I could not acquire the strength of sadhana (meditation),
neither could I earn the credit of holiness.
Therefore, I constantly pray for Your grace.
Could You ever neglect the helpless?
I have no knowledge,
neither mundane nor spiritual,
nor do I possess the devotion filled thread of love.
All I have is a painful stream of tears.
O Lord,
With what excuse would You make me forget You?

You came and brought light,
and dispelled all darkness.
You told me smilingly:
"Open your eyes,
and when threatened by fear,
think of me.
Roses without thorns,
tides without flow,
are not the style,
are not the flow of nature,
this fact you ought to understand.
I am always with you,
loving in pain and in pleasure.
I am yours and you are mine.
Hence, discard all feelings of misery."

After having come close
You went far away.
From this ruthlessness of Yours,
I am much pained.
Having once stood in the front,
You hid Yourself in the back.
Do not You have a little affection for me?
Raising me to the top of the tree,
why did You remove the ladder?
Handing over the nectar fruit with Your hand,
why did You throw it into the river?
You bloom buds in spring
and then burn them to ashes
in the intense summer sun.
After lighting the camphor lamp,
You allow it to be extinguished,
leaving behind only black soot.
Removing the sweetness from my green heart,
You leave it stranded as if dead.
I seek only a little grace from You,
in order to survive
until, in Your ideation,
I shall merge with You.

O dear Lord,
come into my life,
I have remained awake,
waiting for You for ages.
Please make me Your own.
There is no place for meanness in Your heart
neither is there false vanity in Your world.
You are the ever bright pole star,
showing the proper path and direction to a lost goose.
In which past did I commence my journey?
Towards which unknown destiny do I keep rushing?
My wings are tired and my eyes dull.
Unknowingly, You tied us both in one same thread.
O my dearest Lord, come!
Come into my life and make me Yours.
For ages, I have been keeping vigil waiting for You.
There is no place for negligence towards me in You.
There is no false vanity in Your realm.
You are the everunfading polestar.
Please show the direction to the flying swan that got lost.
In which distant past have I started my journey?
On which unseen path am I moving forward?
My wings are wearied, I feel exhaustion in my eyes.
So, please make me one with the unknown.
Be together with me, tied with the same string.

With what support did You leave me
in this lonely forest?
Please tell me.
Sitting alone,
I am crying
and passing time.
My heart sinks with pain.
The flowers contain their own vital honey within,
but, O companion, You took away all my honey
to some distant heavenly world.
In my mind only one matter appears:
the silent pain of my heart,
mingled with restlessness.
It cannot be forgotten even if I attempted to.
Under whose confidence am I left alone
in this isolated garden?
I pass the days sitting in lamentation.
My heart faints in torments.
Sweetness is always hidden in flowers.
Yet, all my sweetness has vanished.
O, my own one, where am I left?
In which far distant heaven
and under whose care?
In me, this issue reappears again and again.
An untold heartbeatings sways my mind,
churning an inner longing in the core of my heart.
I cannot forget this forgetfulness of Yours.

The moonlight awakens sparkling waves

In the soft light of the evening lamp
I wonder why the day passes by.
My moon calls me.

After having heard much
and having thought a lot,
I finally decided to love You.
After roaming through the sky,
in hell,
in mountains and in caves,
only one gem could I find.
I know love does not care for logic nor reasoning.
I do not love You to attain liberation.
I love You to get bliss.
This is the essence of all I know.
I will continue doing Your work
to whatever extent I am able to,
keeping in mind the highest devotion.
I love You to provide bliss to You.
This is the very last thing I have come to know.
I heard much about You
and I thought much about You,
and then learned to love You.
I searched for You in the sky,
on the earth, in mountain caves.
And finally I found a unique jewel in my life.
I know that love does not obey any logic.
By my love I don't want liberation.
I only love You to get Your bliss.
This is the essence that I have come to understand.
I will go on doing Your work with sincere efforts,
keeping the supreme devotion in my mind.
I love You to make You happy.
This is the ultimate thing that I have realised.

are mine only,
even should the whole world be Yours.
The moon reflects itself in the pond
and yet, it remains within it.
Likewise, You continue Your divine game with me,
though You remain within my heart.
And that is why, You are my garland of diamonds.
You know my mind.
You accept me
though I am but a meagre living being.
When I make mistake,
You bring me back onto the proper path,
watching me closely with stern, yet love-filled eyes.

so good bye for today.

Who is He endlessly singing His songs?
Who is He playing His flute
in a sweet and enchanting way,
and yet, with silent pain?
He is not concerned about time
nor cares for worldly shyness.
By His distant pull,
He generates pain within me
and fills my heart
with injury and agony.
The introduction between the two of us,
since the first morning,
gradually matured into love.
Place and time drifted away,
and only love remained.
I keep floating on
towards an unknown and heavenly destination.
Who is He singing endlessly for me?
Who is He playing the flute with enchanting sweetness,
expressing untold pain?
He surpasses the limitations of time,
not paying heed to the formality of worldly affairs.
He attracts me towards a far distance,
generating inexpressible pain in my heart.
The acquaintance I made on my life's first dawn,
is being gradually filled with love.
Time and place disappeared, only love remains.
I am flowing in light, floating towards a heavenly world.

I am in search of You.
I went to my garden to look for You
but You did not let Yourself be caught.
Oscillating in the swing of hope and despair,
my mind rushes unto innumerable unknown worlds.
From wisdom talks
and discussions on philosophy,
nothing was ever gained.
I searched You
in the depths of the sea,
in gardens and forests,
in the various beautiful forms of flowers,
in the sky and in the air.
But I did not search You
in the depth of my mind.
I am in search of You.
I keep searching but You do not come to me.
In no place of pilgrimage,
no meadow,
nowhere do I find You.
I swung in the cradle of hopes and desperation
and my mind was lifted unto an unknown world.
I attained nothing in discussions of knowledge
and meetings of logic and reasoning.
I was in quest of You
in the sea,
in deep forests,
in flower gardens,
in the sky,
in the wind
and in so many expressions of flowers,
but never did I try to find You within me.

Forgetting You,
I was submerged in deep layers of darkness.
Why did You not prevent this from happening?
I forgot my heart, became cruel,
and adopted devilishness.
Why did You tolerate these afflictions of mine?
Not observing the beacon of light,
neither following the path of logic,
I continued moving about with pride,
blinded by intense attachments.
Not removing my own faults,
but instead blaming others,
I proudly blabbered on,
shaking the sky and the air.

O beautiful Lord,
You came and smiled sweetly.
Spreading heavenly effulgence,
You sat on the inner recess of my heart.
In my garden,
buds were covered with tender leaves.
My mental bee remained awake,
hoping to absorb itself in Your sweetness.
In that loving environment,
with a lively touch,
pollen appeared in the flowers.
Enchanted by the sandal breeze,
peacocks then began to dance.
And with divine effulgence,
the ocean started swinging freely.
You entered my life,
forgetting Your grandeur and attributes.

Taking Your sweet ideation,
what happened to my mind?
All worldly bondages snapped off, merging into infinity.
Now only tears flow from my eyes.
My heart has accepted defeat.
With a startling flash,
the stealer of mind won my heart.
Crying and laughing,
repeatedly coming and going,
are no longer.
At the end of the divine play,
You gave me that most valuable treasure.

From the world of light,
a fairy appeared,
spreading its colourful wings.
By its good actions,
it annihilated all mental darkness.
Let none hate anyone.
Let none take away the morsel of food
from another person's mouth.
Let all have education,
medical treatment,
housing and clothing.
All human beings are our brothers.
Let there be no disputes.
The pains and pleasures of one
are pains and pleasures to all.

In Your mental arbour of madhavi flowers,
I sat alone all by myself.
In that isolated arbour,
at night,
the moonlight peeped through.
The sandal breeze came and again went away,
gently whispering to me:
"Stay here, understand my agony,
listen to what the peacock says.
Put your spare time into action,
forgetting all agonies of the past.
Look forward with courage,
forgetting what came and passed."

Leaving You,
where shall I go?
Kindly tell me.
By Your light, the world is illuminated,
and life becomes vibrant with joy.
Right from the beginning of creation,
You remain continuously present
in both life and death,
individually as well as collectively.
O tranquil one,
You pervade each atom,
each life and mind.
There is no place, where You do not exist.
There is no form, where You are not seen.
There is no tune, which You do not sing.
By Your rhythm, all become vibrant.
Where could I go, leaving You, tell me.
The creation is brightened with Your light
and life is glittering with Your happiness.
From the early period of my life
You were with me
in both life and death.
You are in my deep heart,
undisturbed one,
You alone realised me
and only You dwells in every pore
of my cells and mind.
Scarcely a land is there where You do not exist.
Hardly any form exists where You are not present.
There is no melody in which You did not sing.
Everything remains illuminated by Your rhythm.

Even after seeing You,
it is difficult to recognise You properly.
Whenever I think
I have recognised You
and understood everything
on the strength of intellect,
then, by striking me secretly,
You make me realise my ignorance.
Whenever I think
I have obtained much
and on the strength of wealth,
am able to acquire anything,
then, by showing me the most valuable gem,
You make me realise my poverty.

such as flowers and fruits,
that are part of Your infinite gifts.
I could not see
how much of my own You were.
You gave me so much
as if in a sweetness absorbed, colourful dream.
After such a long time
I came to know and recognise You in meditation.
Much my time passed by in vain,

Today, samvit intuition has come to me.
And now, I utilise my time

For, You smile softly over the horizon.

Let the agony of inertia come to an end.

Piercing through the bosom of darkness,
the typhoon of light has come.
Many ignorant were enlightened
and many homes became illuminated with lamps.
Now, nobody is distant to anyone.
All are closely related to one another.
There exists only one earth, nourished with nectar.
All are dressed in one adornment.
Let no one exploit anyone.
Let none feed himself by threatening others.
Let all move towards the great
with vibrant faces and raised bosoms.
A typhoonic light has pierced through the darkness.
A lot of unknown became known.
Many houses are now beaming with light.
None is far from anyone, everybody belongs to all.
Each one is nurtured by the same earth.
All are adorned in the same manner.
Nobody is being exploited by anyone.
None is suppressed in fear.
All are moving towards progress
with bright faces and proud feelings.

By Your grace,
a mark of mercy appeared in the floral pollen.
Amidst floral pollen,
evolved melodies,
and the love-filled sandal breeze,
fragrance blows by Your inspiration,
churning the minds of the universe.
The greenness-filled sweetness of the earth,
disseminates Your quality of greatness.
It rushes towards You,
adoring You
and declaring You as most beloved one.

By Your touch,
the darkness of fear and agony

By the stream of Your nectar,
You keep all joyful
and happily accept offerings of love.
You announce in the core of my heart

If You do not come
what is point of lighting my lamp?
What is the use
of carrying my flowers from the water or the land?
Discussing, selecting and utilising
various tunes and melodies in my songs is useless.
Expecting Your arrival,
the garland of flowers,
seems to have been
vainly prepared for Your welcome.
I was determined not to think about You.
Yet, Your ideation keeps returning.
Hence, in expectation of Your arrival,
I look onto the path,
keeping the door of my heart open.
If You do not come,
what is the use of illuminating the lamp?
What is the use of plucking colourful flowers
in land and water?
What is the use of singing songs and tunes?
What is the use of the flower garland,
which was meant for You?
I decided not to think about You, but I still do.
I look unto the path in expectation of You,
keeping the door of my heart open.

To whom but You can I recount

You are the flame in the lamp

Because You exist,
everything else exists.

I kept awake the whole night,
awaiting You,
but You did not come.
You were in an unknown world
and went away to an unknown world,
without saying anything.
Many days and nights passed by.
My garland of shefali flowers dried up.
The flowers in my chignon withered away
but still, You did not appear to me.
You did not mention Your coming nor staying,
neither did You forget about it.
You did not You show any displeasure about it either.
If You want, stay forever in my heart
but do not forget my love.
I kept long vigils waiting for You to arrive.
But You did not come to me, O Lord.
You came from an unknown realm,
And You left for an unknown realm.
But You did not tell me where You went.
How many days have passed!
How many nights!
The shephali flower garland has withered
The flowers in my hair have faded and fallen on the ground.
You never came within my reach.
I will not entreat You to come to me,
I will not beg You to remain with me.
Nor will I take any offence over it.
If You wish, stay with me always
but do not forget my love.

You do not know,
how much pain I endure for You.
Day and night,
I search from path to path.
Do not You see me?
Right from the dawn of creation,
I have been moving on Your path
drawn by Your pull.
In sleep,
in dream,
in slumber
and in my awakened state,
I could not come to know You.
Do not You understand this?
In the grass,
in shrubs,
in trees
and in creepers,
I keep searching.
I know that You remain hidden within.
Tell me, why do You not appear to me?
Have You got no mercy?
You do not know
how much I suffer for You,
You never know.
I keep searching day and night,
on every path.
You do not pay heed to me,
You never do.
Since the dawn of the creation,
I started out my journey,
propelled by Your attraction.
I do not know anybody else but You,
in sleep, dream
and my awakened state of mind.
I search and tread the path
and find You in grasses,
bushes, trees and plants.
I know You are hiding there.
Please tell me why
You do not come to me.
You have no compassion,
You do not.

Who are You standing on my path?
Tell me.
You told me You would not allow me
to leave the proper path
and to move on the wrong path.
In front a deep pit lurks.
It is covered by a dark veil.
With my eyes,
I am unable to see it.
For, there is no end to obstacles.
The prison of ego,
the burden of knowledge,
intellect,
name and fame
all bind me.
Removing these heaps,
and taking on You all my load,
You taught me how to perform Your sadhana.
Who are You, who You stood in my way?
Let me know.
I requested You to leave my path,
but You did not let me go on that wrong path.
In front lies a huge ditch,
covered with cimmerian darkness.
My eyes never paid attention to see it.
Only because You hindered me, I escaped the fall.
Prisons of ego used to surround me.
They were bondages of knowledge,
intellect, name and fame.
Shattering those bondages,
You took my burdens,
and taught me the art of sadhana (meditation).

O Lord,
to the devotee,
You bestow affection and love.
Stay in my heart,
crush my pride
and pull me close to You.
Under the impulse of worldly attachment,
I must not forget You bound by inertia.
Hence, with tearful eyes,
I beg for You mercy,
O beloved!
Days come and go,
never to return.
Even happy memories do not look back.
Whoever comes to this world,
becomes lost in a vacuum,
and cannot but declare
that You are the most revered one,
the object of ideation for all.

For whom are you sitting and crying?
For whom are you waiting, looking at the path?
Who is that stealer of mind
who has not allowed
deep drowsiness to come into your eyes?
On the nucleus of a precious lotus
whose sweetness excels and dominates?
Who is He whose unbarred volume of hope
has filled your heart?
How much time has passed by this way,

and how long
will you continue ideating this way?
Still, on your face,
no trace of fatigue appears,
from all this waiting.

Having come into my life,
why did You again leave?
Please tell me.
You had kept me tied to the floral thread of hope,
and by going away, left me stranded with tearful eyes.
I was bound in the stone prison (of materialism),
yet, on the stones themselves I bloomed a flower.
That flower I offered to You,
with all my heart.
O eternal companion of mine
from beginningless time,
You are the stream of infinite nectar on this earth.
In fire and in air,
in all entities,
You remain vibrant with vigour.
If You came, why did You leave again,
please tell me why You went away.
You kept me in hope,
whilst my eyes were full of tears.
I was captured in prisons of crudeness,
I had grown flowers there.
I offered those flowers to You
and my heart became refreshed.
O companion, since beginningless time,
Your endless charm flows over the earth,
in the air, in fire, in all entities.
Verily, You are the essence of life.

Why are You displeased with me?
How many nights have I kept awake?
How many flowers have I collected,
constantly meditating on You?
My dry heart is moistened with Your name.
My valueless life is full of Your ideation.
My restless heart locates itself within You.
I am mad for Your vision.
You come close
but do not stay nearby.
You do not speak with sweet lips.
Is there no attractive force of love in me?
Why did You not leave after expressing
what made You offended?
So many nights have passed without sleep,
so many flowers have been collected.
With this in mind, I keep doing Your dhyana (deep meditation).
My dry heart melted with Your name.
My meaningless life became filled with Your bhava (ideation).
This restless mind of mine became absorbed in You.
I turn mad for seeing You.
You came near me, but did not sit beside me.
You did not speak with sweet lips.
Do not You have affection for me?

However busy with action You may be,

All have work to do,
who is free from action?
By action only,
the world moves on.
Fearing You might get caught,
You perform actions secretly.

Whatever things You may be busy with,

this is how the world moves.
You work hiding, secretly,
afraid that anybody would catch You.

Crossing the high sea,
You came to my home.
On the solitary path,
You never pause due to fear or risk.
I had not made any preparations to welcome You.
No useful arrangement was made.
I had only an injured mind and heart,
but filled with love and soaked with tears.
I did not do anything for You.
I simply wandered about behind mirages.
But You held my hand
and blowing a loud trumpet,
showed me a new sun.

Your love and song,
removes the darkness of mind.
By taking Your name
and by Your song,
even intense clods are removed.
I remain by and large forgetful of You,
and call You only when trapped in sorrow.
Yet, my pain and sorrow
shakes Your inner core.

and keep asking You to forgive me.
Due to pity,

On the path of this journey towards light,
why do you sit in the darkness?
On this shining cart of effulgence,
why do you maintain
discrimination and aversion?
The horizon at the end of the land
calls with hand signals and speaks in sweet language.
Respond to that call and move forward.
Leaving the intense slumber,
wake up, wake up.
The stars and nebulas of the far sky
are not distant,
none is distant.
You are not alone.
Forgetting detachment, recognise all.
Do not think that you are far away.

On a moonlit night,
silently and in solitude,
You came into my mind
and smiled, full of sweetness.
The moon in the sky
was playing hide and seek amongst the dark clouds.
You poured out nectar
on the three worlds
by sweet gestures
and smiling overwhelmingly.
The petals of flowers,
discarding all bondages,
drifted into the distant sky.
The ever-pardoning and beautiful Lord,
with charming love,
floated in the niipa flower garden of my heart,
kindling the lamp of life.

Even constantly searching You
in forests and in groves,
I was unable to see You.
I do not know whether You are
in mountains, oceans or in galaxies.
Do not You have feelings
for those who love You dearly?
Don't You have any place in Your mind
for those who offer their life to You?
Today, I understood
that You reside in my mind only
and that You illuminate it.
Struggling to search You in the outer world,
I had only sent my nearest away from You.
I searched for You in the woods and in the forest
but I failed to find You anywhere.
I searched for You on land,
in the ocean, in the nebula,
in every nook and corner I searched.
I don't know where You are.
Do You not desire to think of those
who have immense love for You?
Do You not have any place in Your mind for those
who have dedicated their life for Your cause?
But I realise today, You reside in my mind.
You brought effulgence and dispelled my ignorance.
Searching in the outer world,
I am sending my nearest to the farthest place.

Flowers after flowers bloom,

You told me You would come again,
but You went away
and forgot Your words.
Perhaps Your love
had been only of a superficial nature,
and therefore,
You did not understand my pain.
The beauty of my once decorated house is gone.
The bondage in my chignon became loosened.
The garland loop on my hairdo withered away.
All that is left, is my earnest longing.
With all my strength bundled up,
I await to hear Your footstep.
In the hope of Your arrival,
and with an impatient heart,
I count days and time.

I continue singing songs for You to listen to.
Tell me whether You like them or not.
I continue moving on,
holding on to Your path.
On this movement,
please accompany me.
I have been rehearsing my melody for ages,
keeping You in my mind.
In sorrow, in distress,
in joy and in effluence
with a blissful heart.
Come closer, come within my mind.
Come in ever new adornments.
Come in each vibration,
pleasing my heart
and illuminating it with rhythm.

I sat at the base of Your altar,
with a kindled lamp during a time of darkness.
Have You forgotten?
The light from my lamp
was like the light of a firefly.
You glimpsed at me,
lifting Your eyelids.
Today, how far are You from me?
I find myself in the depth of darkness.
Lift me up from shelterlessness onto Your shelter.
I know effulgence as truth without fearing darkness.
O origin of effulgence,
keep me at the base of Your holy feet.

O incomparable Lord,
come into my mental arbour,
come with plenty of delight.
In a variety of rays from the moon,
You smile nectar like.
In the distant sky,
effulgence spreads.
The home of my swan
became illuminated by You.
Delighting the firmament of my mind,
come, O innermost one!
The earth is lost in Your ideation,
the ocean is filled with crest and trough,
the touch of sandal breeze spreads sweetness,
while, I pay my salutation at Your feet.

On the solar cart of effulgence,
You came to take all with You.
You do not differentiate between small and big.
You listen to all minds.
I love witnessing this,
and become enchanted though I do not hear.
I do not understand good or bad
but know You are always present.
You did so much for me
and never wanted anything in return.
Though knowing the hundreds of my faults,
You nevertheless made me Your own.

All human beings are my own.
In a single thread all hearts are stringed,
for, all have the same objective.
I cry in sorrow,
I smile in joy and,
with a loving face,
love my beloved ones.
I enjoy food
when I am hungry
and drink
when I am thirsty
and so do all human beings.
This earth,
the stars,
the moon in the sky
and the forests
are loved by all.
I dance and sing in one rhythm only
and call my Lord single-mindedly.
All human beings are our own.
All hearts share the same innermost heart,
the needs of all are the same.
We cry in sorrow, we laugh in joy,
we love to see the faces of our dear ones.
We share food and all drink together.
We realise that all share the same needs.
We all love our universe,
the moon and stars above and the forest below.
We dance to the same rhythm
and sing with the same life's urge.
We link our minds together to call the supreme Lord.

How much time has uselessly passed by waiting?
How many ceremonies ended in vain?

Tell me, why.
That golden-coloured beautiful current
removed all darkness.
All the trees and creepers
became decorated with new beauty.
Humanity has been swung into a new ideation.
Unto those who were eager,
You poured nectar.
With fragrance and beauty
flowers are decorated.
The white droplets of water glitter like pearls.
The ever beautiful one
came into the fold of beauteous forms,
showering His liberal grace.
A stream of effulgence has descended.
For what reason?
please tell me.
The stream of golden beauty,
dispelled all darkness.
All plants and creepers appeared in new forms.
Humanity became vibrated with a new wave.
You wholeheartedly poured nectar all around,
for what reason, please tell me.
The flowers bloomed in full charm,
in forms, colours and fragrance.
Water drops appeared as pearls.
He gave beauty to this earth,

You came to this earth,

Attending to everyone's desires,
You made all understand the absolute truth,

Why is this thus happening?
Why is He hiding in my mind?

I shall continue loving You.
Your love and my song jointly play the flute
in the mental Gokul.
In the eternal garden of Vrindavan,
I secretly roam.
You are the gem of my eyes,
I exert to search You.
My mental Jamuna river
flows in a reverse direction,
and speaks of Your love.
With You only lies my world.
And it is You who all inhabitants of the world seek.
No matter who calls me what,
I love You so dearly.
The immortal songs of Your love
resound within my eternity.
Always in the forests of Vrindavan,
I wander around in secrecy.
You are the pupil of my eyes,
I aspire to find You.
The Yamuna river of my mind overflows,
and tells stories of Your love.
This experience of mine is for Your sake,
and it is for You
that all the people of the earth aspire.

Kindling my lamp,
I remove the darkness of my house.
Yet, to remove this darkness of mind,
nothing lies at my disposal.
Outside, deep darkness prevails,
seemingly engulfing the smile of the stars.
And due to meanness,
the darkness of mind further blackens.
Secretly, within my mind,
I light a lamp with the oil of ideation
and place it on a series of waves,
that arise from the ocean of beauty.
In the firmament of my mind,
I remember You each moment.

You are the nucleus of all thoughts.
You exist unseen in all actions.
The whole world and the universe lie outside me.
But, sheltering them totally,
You remain greatest.
You are the gravest Guru
and You are Greatest.
In Your world, none is alone.

forgetting You,

The butterfly,
spread its wings
and snatched away the pollen from the flower.
Coming from an unknown realm,
It disappeared unto an unknown realm.
It realised the pain existing in the flower,
and drew into it a colourfully decorated image.
The flower, with a smile, requests:
"Fill love into each era,
and by a sweet and loving song of Yours,
make my heart dance."

Who awakened my drowsy eyelids
with a touch of light?
Who lighted lamps in each direction
of my poverty stricken mental temple?
There was no light inside my mind.
There was no spiritual practice of fulfilment.
Who illuminated me
with a glittering lamp of gems?
I had no tide in vitality,
neither any inspiration to move on the path.
Who woke me up,
breaking my intense and deep sleep,
and telling me to listen to His call?

For You,
I decorated my mental house with bright colours.
I washed it with the light of love,
and beautified it with different colours.
Whatever love and affection I had,
I poured its totally into it.
You listen to the voice of my core
and know the agony of my heart.
You listen to it and You know it.
Come into my mind
by granting Your grace to me.
From all sides,
I remain surrounded by pitch darkness.
You are my only light.
Whatever belongs to me
ever keeps dancing around You.

You remain ever saturated with love.
You remain absorbed
in the essence of sandal fragrance
and bathe in the sandal breeze.
You are the intimate one
to those who have none.
You are the protector of the unprotected,
ever absorbed in sweetness.
You are worshipped by the world,
and remain engrossed in auspicious action.
Within the game of creation,
numerous small waves arise within You,
none ever goes outside You.
Beyond the darkness of uncertainty,
You are the ever fixed, shining effulgence.

O Lord,
You are with all,
You are the sole entity.
By love, You won the mind.
During strong storms,
killing the serpentine noose,
You eventually bring calmness.
While being devoured by a cruel enemy,
You omnipresently dance in joyful gesture.
When there was no knowledge of creation,
no count of days dates and time was there,
and neither did the delusion of hope and despair exist.
You existed then,
and You are present now.
You remain absorbed in Your divine game,
eternally seeking love.

What for did You come
and what for did You go,

In Your infinite world,
innumerable living beings ever dance.
Within Your sweet and delusive game,
they move with different gestures.
A constant coming and going,
a wanting heart looking for its lover.

You are the nucleus of the universal cycle,
You are all in one.
You existed in the beginning,
and will remain until the end,
though Your end, I ignore.
In the fragrance of flowers,
in the impulse of vitality,
in songs,
on paths,
in the sweet breeze,
hidden behind it all,
You softly smile
and keep weaving the web of imagination.
In past days,
in future days,
Your glory ever shines
on land, water and sky.
You remain within
and outside the periphery of time
You are not to be measured by days.

recounts that You are my only companion.
The dust of the earth dances
and conveys my day and night long longing for You.
The soft sandal breeze admits
there is no other existence than Yours.
The waves accompanying the ocean's rumbling
want that one entity only.
The sparkling of light in the distant sky,
passing through rainfalls,
displays love and affection.
The pollen of floral fragrance,

Today,
clusters of stars appear in the sky,
but in my mind, darkness lingers on.
Due to whose absence,
in day and night,
an immeasurably immense ocean of agony
has built up?
In the floral garden,
there is no fragrance.
The sky is sullen and without moon.
Ice seems bereft of coolness,
and honey has become tasteless.
The peacock,
losing its beautiful tail,
weeps and cries.
Forsaking vitality,
a wandering,
dancing pair,
has forgotten the rhythm of time.

My days pass by in pain and pleasure,
yet, You still don't come.
Though I see light,
the dark curtain,
covering me up in deep blackness,
is not removed.
The soft smile of my flower
silently fades in the depth of the night.
The nectar of the full moon
is destroyed
by the hunger of time,
and the moon
becomes overpowered
by the shadow Rahu.
Looking at it all,
my mind sorrows
but is unable to speak.
Yet, somehow, I secretly console my mind,
asking myself:
Why these imaginations of light and shade?
Tell me why You created this world?

Probably it does not like wild flowers,

For Him who has given you a mind,

You came to my home.
Into the heart of the earth,

You filled peace.
On that night,

intoxicating all.
It sang,
resonating in the tune of clouds.

And how many winters and springs

In light and shade,
in pain and pleasure
how many lives passed?
Whatever I got, I again lost
but I still remained hopeful.
Having come down like a storm,
I wasted my life in eating and drinking only.
This time, by Your grace,
I wish to fulfil my ambition.
Disregarding the proper path,
I moved on wrong sides,
ignoring varieties, distinctions and differentiations.
Today, I understood You,
and found the proper path.
I learned to move along the divine light.
Keep bestowing on me this much grace.
Provide more and more illumination
and wipe out all my darkness.

Spring has come
and has vibrated each atom.
What is its cause and origin?
Under whose illusive influence,
have internal melodies appeared?
What does the frenzied wind want?
What has been lost and what gained?
In the silent,
isolated and sweet night
what touch was given?
I have forgotten what I lost,
for, what I got was overwhelming.
This unbound vitality cannot be hidden.

Those who have totally exhausted their ego,
attain You with all their heart.
You take everything from those
who offer You their all.
They observe You when in darkness
and absorb themselves in Your love
in the light of the evening star.
And in the golden light of the crimson dawn,
they bathe in Your beauty and love.
There is no fear in them,
but only the sweetness of a love song.
They are left with a heart full of prosperity,
with the essence of sweetest nectar.

You exist, hence I exist.
You filled life into the greenness of greeneries,
For Your grace, all beg.
The unlimited bluishness of eternity,
the frightening gravity of rough sand,
the beauty of grass and leaves in forests,
with all them, I exist.
Though surrounded
by the eight fetters (internal bondages),
the six enemies (internal enemies)
and my ego,
I shall not forget You.
With the strength of Your name filling in heart,
I shall overcome the force of sins.

You came into the forest of effulgence,
and made all swing.
And then,
where did You hide?
Into the gentle breeze,
You filled fragrance
and then,
You intoxicated my mind.
All long to attain You ever deeper.
None wishes to leave You
even for a small period of time.
The sweetness that fills the mind
wants to burst out and fulfil its aspirations.
Come in sweet ideation,
and remove all my wants.
O one beyond ideation!
With rhythm, song, melody, and new tunes, come,
overwhelming my heart with new beats.

who is He who swung the flowers?
At the end of pride and unchecked emotions,
whose sweetness did You take away without asking?
You came and went away without informing me.
How much more charming this is, O Lord!
Your coming announcement
would only have increased curiosity.
This is why You came without informing me,
intoxicating my mind with beauty and colour.
What a new divine game this is,
ever new each moment!
Your love is beyond expectations.
You gave all without expecting anything in return.

The pleasing memory of Your sweet smile,
fills hope into destitute hearts.
O charioteer of the cart of effulgence,
I know You don't consider any particular date,
then come to my home anytime,
so that in golden light, nectar may spread.

and in hundreds of thoughts,
ever fulfilling the hopes of mind.
I longed for You in the fragrance of incense
and in the light of lamps,
when merging my entire sweetness into one.
You came in innumerable adornments,
in numerous ideations and actions,
in each moment through the sandal breeze
You came in memories,
You came day and night.
You danced in rhythms and melodies,
gently floating within and beyond the periphery of time.
I find You in the isolated and dense forest,
in the depth of mind in smiling illumination.

You are beyond this world.
You are the illumination of beauty.
Nothing is impossible for You,
for, the seven worlds have been threaded into Your mind.
There is nothing You cannot do.
You hold innumerable forms.
After the ending, You again start,
filling the whole arena of maya.
You are excellent amongst the best,
worshipable amongst adorables.
You are difficult to be known,
even if very close.
You resonate with tunes.

come in the sandal breeze.
Appear in beautiful forms in my mental temple,
and smile with a soft touch.
You fill the life of those
who come and again go without desire,
and without looking back,
with beauty and flavour,
and love them with pleasure and vitality.
There is no invocation nor farewell to You,
neither is there sacrifice nor encircling.
You have been in the past,
You are present now
and will forever remain.
Hence, even without looking at You,
I ever call You.

From a distance, they vibrate in combination.

Nobody knows Your ways.
It is impossible to forget the affection that You showered.
In each particle Your mercy was filled.
This creation exists because You exist.
His glimpses shower universal love.

With radiations and ideative feelings,
You brought onto this earth, a heavenly song.

Hiding behind the hills and forests,
the sun sets.
The light fades,
and darkness intensifies.
The day becomes lost.
When the sun shone,
darkness turned illuminated,
and yet, with the setting of the sun,
its memory too, lost itself in oblivion.
The sun comes,
riding the seven coloured chariot in white.
Intoxicating the mind with crimson colours,
it rises.
O sun, come this time!
Smile sweetly on this earth.
Living beings await you.
They look towards the east
in search of warmth.

That day, even in dark moments,
You brought a rhythmic song
filled with melody and dance.
By the touch of dawn,
the earth was coloured
and into its calmness,
into its wavelessness,
entered a flow of vitality.
All earnestness became filled

O personification of consciousness,
You remain ever admirable!
Millions of ages passed,
yet, the flow of creation continued.
The infinite and immeasurable
flow of Your mercy remained.
With affectionate sweetness
and blessings of love,
You smilingly told,
"I am here,
no total dissolution of the universe
will ever take place.
Take this for granted."

You descend to play the divine game.

You are present in each particle.
The glow of the lonely morning sun,
filled mind and heart.
Whatever I may do,
hiding from You,
when opening my eyes,
I find that it is not unknown to You.
In birth and death,
at each and every step
and in each vibration,
You dance.
Have mercy on me
so that I may keep You in my mind,
and, through memory and thought
keep You close.
My heart sings around You,
as if observing Your beginning and Your end.

If You do not come,
for whom should I remain sitting here?
For whom should I thread my garland,
all alone in the floral garden?
I sit here,
concentrating my mind on You.
I pass the time thinking of You.
Your image constantly appears in my memory
which loves to think about the events of bygone days.
Today my heart,
like a moistened shefali flower,
keeps emanating fragrance in search of Your touch.

I attained You in the mirror of my mind.
How can I ever forget that mercy of Yours?
Witnessing Your blissful entity,
the earth too, turned intensely blissful.
The flowers became filled with nectar,
and their blossoms overflowed with honey.
In the deep recess of the garden of my mind,
bees secretly came humming.
Piercing though darkness, light came about.
My intoxicated mind became filled with honey.
My eyes were contented,
my heart became spirited,
when I attained You with all my heart.

became filled with sweetness,
by Your touch,
and by Your effulgent, overflowing sweetness.
A tide swayed the ocean of the earth.
An immeasurable and limitless vibration arose.
You observed and smiled,
and the earth frenzied.
In the sweet garden of this earth,
colourful flowers bloomed with the pollen of love.
Forgetting everything,
with the impulse of the heart,
a flow of fragrance appeared.

O most beloved Lord,
Secretly and unseen,
You entered my mind.
No one saw or noticed
Your incomparable love.
In the autumn and summer evenings,
and in the floral fragrance of the smiling spring,
You came smiling,
and sang Your song.
Nobody understood my realisation.
The sweet jingling of Your ankle bells
overwhelmed my afflicted mind.
You came
and spoke words,
that were filled
with the nectar of heaven.

decays due to negligence.
The flower with its nectar drops
bends low its old leaves.
And due to negligence,
tender new leaves dry out untimely.
The sandal breeze of my floral garden is gone.
Its vibrating gracefulness
became replaced by the dust of storms.
Where are You at such a bad time of mine?
O Lord, come and smile blissfully.
Come to show the proper direction
to this direction lost person.
Except You,
there is no one at this bad time, alas.

You came and kindled light,
and brought human beings to this world.
You loved,
You poured forth nectar,
and aroused softness in minds.
The earth was torn and broken
due to strokes,
and, due to divisive intellect,
became fragmented
into hundreds of parts.
Mother earth carried marks of pain
all over her body.
You provided illumination,
and applied ointment on wounds.
To whose call of pain and crying,
did You listen?
With assurance, You removed the terror,
and told:
"I am here to protect you from pain."

I wish to tell You only one thing:
Why, if You love me,
do not You come near?
This distance and unkindness may today end.
Only one agony is to be understood:
Even after praying,
I do not find You close.
Whatever I may speak,
all that, I offer unto Your holy feet.

You were alone in the earliest break of the day,

By Your joy and a touch of life,

You danced through different sounds with colourful steps.
By Your mantra,
mortals became absorbed in the enchantment of bliss.

He came on His own
and continuously calls me all the time.
Tell me how I shall keep away from Him?
He started calling me
right from the first dawn,
sometimes during the day
and sometimes during the night,
displaying a red glow.
Right from the appearance of dawn,
and in the ascent of the evening's star,
He calls me with the sweetness of mind.
Thinking Him to be unknown,

And, due to the hesitation of my mind,
I did not come within His reach.

Obstacles surrounded each of Your steps,

to show me the path to travel on

I do not know nor recognise You,
yet, You came near me
and loved me irresistibly.
In the dark,
I could not recognise the path.
No one was with me to call my own.
I continued calling an unknown friend,
when You poured into my ear
the mantra to address and call You.
I had been moving with previous momentum,
intoxicated with attachment to the path,
aimlessly rushing about without pause.
You came
and showed to me the proper path.
You told to move on a straight path.

Bearing the agony of an unknown pain,
You remained very far.
I wonder, were You hidden
in the deep recess of my own mind?
Tell me, tell me.
At that time, flocks of geese,
with wings spread out,
flew far away
to where the sky and the sea meet.
In the hope of attaining You,
the essential fragrance of my floral wreath,
danced with great upsurge of emotion.
I did not keep track of days,
neither do I remember dates.
I did not record a dairy of events either.
O Guest, when shall we meet again?
On the western setting side of the ocean,
beyond the path of no return
our encounter took place.

O mystic traveler,
a long time has passed
since I met You in the palash grove,
when You endearingly whispered into my ears.
With the rhythmic dawn of maddening string sounds,
the unending rows of palash flowers turned fiery
and every nook and corner of the palash forest
vibrated with new life.
The mystic traveler is so near
to this expressed universe,
and yet, He remains so far from all.
No amount of intellect,
no amount of logic
can catch hold of Him.

You are present in all leaves and flowers.
You poured light into light.
You are present in risings and in settings,
thus pouring colours into colours.
You know who does what,
You know who lost his/her path.
You respond to the call
of all those under distress
and bestow unbound love on them.
In Your world no one remains alone,
no one is helpless,
no one remains surrounded by fog.
You are dear to all.
You are revered by all.
You remain mingled up with all.
You dissolve Yourself into all.

Your sweet flute bestows realisation.

On this colourful night full of moonlight,
who are You who came,
spreading Your wings?
When looking at You,
it seems to me as though I recognise You.
But due to the presence
of the black coating of maya on my eyes,
I am unable to fully assimilate You.
The ketaki flower secretly tells me
that this friend is a polymorphic entity,
sometimes displaying Himself near,
sometimes hiding Himself.
He consoles with a sweet and humming voice.
He tells me
He would respond to my calls,
even if hiding from me.

For His descend
from the heavenly abode
down to the garden of my mind,
I wait and count time.
Tonight, with inexpressible agony,
I think of Him in defeat.
He is a distant friend,
the moon of the far sky.
He snatched away
all the sweetness of my heart.
And yet,
even finding myself lost,
I want Him,
and constantly listen for His footsteps.
Will He not come
and sing His song to me,
looking at my face once again?
The lamp of my hope tells me
He will come,
He will definitely come,
for, He is the central gem of my inner bud.

After attaining You,

O human beings,
losing your senses,
where are you rushing to?
You polluted the sky and the air
and turned the world into hell.
You declared you were superior
and that the animals,
the birds
and vegetation were inferior to you.
You moved on with such elevated ego,
that it almost kissed the sky.
Do not you foresee
the shadow of death,
approaching with accelerated speed,
to halt all your movements?
The strength of providence
declared you highest being,
and bestowed upon you great intellect.
Hence, rush on defying obstructions,
ever unto the stars.
O human being, losing Your awareness,
where are You heading towards,
poisoning the air and the sky
and turning the earth into hell?
You used to say You were superior,
and that the animals, birds and trees
were inferior to You.
But Your ego is sky kissing.
Don't You see the shadow of time
approaching rapidly to put a stop
to all Your speed?
By God's grace You have been given a superior body.
With Your intellect You have conquered space.
Go on moving from star to star
without being deterred by any obstacle.

A distant tune came today,
vibrating the sky and the air
of the entire universe.
The unit minds in the world
started dancing,
removing all barriers of fear and shame.
Kadamba flower pollen began to shiver,
cane groves became engrossed in quiver,
a ketaki fragrance absorbed breeze blew,
and rushed unto the unknown.
The peacock started dancing,
finding the rising sun close.
The jasmine fragrance
opened the gates of heaven.
The soft and sweet breeze
whispered into my ears
that the unknown traveler stands at the gate.

Awaiting You
my life passes.
I shall continue to call
to awaken sounds in Your deaf ears.
Many an autumn came
and many a spring smiled.
The path was full of flowers,
but You did not come.
I remained standing alone.
The fragrance of flowers floated away.
The mental moon no more smiles.
At the sandy beach of the ocean of time,
I continue observing.

With silent feet,
You secretly came into my eyes,
O my most beloved.
No one could know or see it.
No one could understand
this sweetest love of Yours.
At that time,
with murmuring sounds it rained,
and lighting danced with outbursts.
Outside threat,
inside charm,
that form of Yours was at that time
most materialised.
Then, the pollen of juhi flowers,
through the moist breeze,
came floating about,
encircling the deep darkness.
In the depth of my mind,
in a corner of my heart,
my ego vanished away,
O innermost one.

Those who came

I wandered about here and there in this world
and have now finally reached the proper place.
Crossing the dark fog and attaining light
I became glorified.
Here, no worldly shyness persists.
Hatred and backbiting have no more quarter.
Beyond condemnation and praise,
I found shelter at Your feet.
I broke the bondage
of dynasties,
manners,
praise and defamation, of fear,
and of all egoistic feelings,
which, in the past, had kept me bound.

All darkness is destroyed by Your effulgence.
All need a base
but You stand baseless.
Your speed and acceleration
is essential in all worlds.
Taking all with You,
You guide us through the mental sphere,
and lead us unto the world of formlessness.
You do not succumb to difficulties
nor are You deterred by even totally unknown concepts.
You are the aggregation of only love and bliss.
Making one forget all tortures,
in fundamental ideation,
You shelter all.

This universe is but Your idol,
and to it,
I do not find any comparison.
I am unable to think
of any comparable example.
You are above it all.
As You have no bondage,
I am unable to bind You
by either praise or glorification.
Being all pervading,
You never come
within the bondage of places of pilgrimage.

and my mental peacock rushes forth and dances.

did You kindle the lamp
that today You brought?
That lamp continues to glow
with innumerable flames.
It illuminates all the seven strata of the universe,
and eliminates the entire darkness.
It satisfies all living beings
and decorates tray after tray with colours.
At the end of prolonged penance,
that lamp glows unwinking.
At the end
You complete all Your work

You made buds bloom
and raised honey under the cover of petals.
Those helpless
and under the spell of a deep slumber,
obtained consciousness by Your touch.
You provided heartfelt melodies
to the birds that were resting in their nest.
You decorated the dark earth with colours
and, in the game of colours,
You became absorbed.
You arose amidst awakened hearts.
You removed all fear
and filled everyone with hope.

You understood my pain,
and hence, You came.

The moon was in the sky.
The honey was in the flower.
Only with me

You came,
applied Your colour

The flame glows to this day,

singing on the boat of songs and forms?
From the world of form
the boat floats on towards formlessness.
It crosses and passes through
numerous cities,
mountaintops,

depths,

It moves on towards the unknown.
In a corner of Your boat,
in seclusion,
You provided a place for me.
Absorbing me in Your name,

By series of Your name and beauty,
You filled the world.
O formless one,
of Your game of beauty,
I do not understand anything.
Wherever I thought to be an end,
I find the picture of a new beginning beyond it.
A beginning comes after ends.
Its cycle goes up high,
kissing the sky.
When thinking of its best,
I lose myself.
I find innumerable excellent valuables,
constantly appearing thereafter.

You came,
removed all darkness,
kindled light
and pulled the distant ones close.
You destroyed the dirt,
You loved
and awakened hope
in desperate hearts.
The flowers did not bloom
due to fear of darkness.
The bees did not come,
feeling the absence of honey.
You bathed all in effulgence
and brought about beauty.
An era of light came after darkness,
heavenly effulgence spread all over.
What did You do
to rain such flow of nectar?

Calling untimely,
with a heavenly melody,
who is He who travels on?
I thought I would not listen,
yet, I secretly hear,
and cannot refrain from listening.
How many seconds and moments passed?
The sun gradually set in the horizon.
The evening deepens all over.
The birds return to their families with chirping.
The golden paddy fields sink into darkness.
Alas, You still do not come.

Holding the path of light,
You came with stern hands
and a resonant voice.
You removed all darkness.
The darkness which all thought to be permanent.
The agony that remained concentrated on everyone’s head.
You removed it all and bestowed love.
You crushed the stones on my path.
The fire of vivacity that all had thought to be extinguished,
the forest fire that had gone lost in the past,
You aroused it all with care,
in Your divine game.

Stay forever in my eyes,
so that,
I may remain ever engrossed
in Your ideation,
in Your name
and in Your qualities.
Several lives passed by wastefully,
alas,
in lives of animals,
plants and trees.
By Your grace,
I have today attained a human body.
This time,
fulfil my desire.
Many a time I lost my direction
and floated away in dogma.
Now, I understand what is essential.
There remains no confusion.
I offer my all unto You.

I want only You,
and from You,
I do not want anything.
In the whole of the world,
in the sky and in the ocean,
I could not find Your equivalent.
You gave light and air,
food and water.
You gave shelter.
Whatever I did not want,
that too,
You liberally bestowed on me,
without leaving scope for misery to arise.
You are present in both air and fire.
You are the very basis of life.
You are in intellect and in intuition.
You are the root of humanity.
The very small and the great,
none is lost.
All have a place at Your feet.

with boundless affection.
Converting dry sand and trees into living greenery,
You smiled.
You filled the earth with happy sweetness,
and awakened a smile on the gloomy face.
Crying hearts started humming with joy,
and, by Your touch,
buds became filled with honey.
Fragrance floats into the floral garden.
The chirping birds
smile in the full moon light.
Into everything, Your have poured nectar.

I understand
that my prolonged night of inertia,
is now over,
and that after much time,
a new morning arrived.
The dawn,
in a new hue,
has enchanted me.
The all engulfing night,
that lasted for ages,
is gone.
The lighting,
that shook my heart,
has passed.
The noisy creatures of darkness
have moved away.
The venom spitting serpent
does no longer pollute the air
and its hoods kill no more.
In the radiant light of joy,
the cakor bird of my mind
remains fully satisfied.

Today,
on this golden and effulgent morning,
the birds sing with a sweet voice,
and ask about Your whereabouts.
The dark night of inertia disappeared.
The dark fog vanished.
The dark curtain was removed.
The kadamba pollen spreads out into the sky.
The frenzied peacock dances
to the rhythm of dambaru.
There is no trace of disappointment whatsoever left.
O, Lord! Where are You?
In this golden crimson dawn, where are You?
The birds are chirping,
the inertness of the night is gone.
The enveloping black fog has faded away.
Darkness has dispersed.
The pollen of kadamba flowers
is floating towards the blue sky.
In the rhythm of the dambaru drum,
the cheerful peacocks are dancing in ecstasy.
There is no place for despair in this beautiful morning.
Where are You? O, where are You?

For You,
I threaded a garland of malati flowers.
For You, I rehearsed my melody.
Absorbing my mind in You,
I decorated my altar with flowers.
I cried continuously to attain You.
Whatever I obtained
was due to Your grace only.
What I did not get,
was because You did not want it so.
You make me move ahead
for the benefit of my welfare only.
You never think of damaging anyone.
I have therefore attuned my heart to Your rhythm.
You gave me intellect,
intuition and discriminating capacity.
You raised my mind,
piercing through all seven strata of existence.
It is Your incomparable love
that has been kissing my cheeks life after life.
You relieve me from all fears and doubts.
Hence,
I move towards You,
crushing all obstacles.
For You I have woven a malatii garland.
Only for You I rehearsed my songs.
Only for You I decorated myself with flowers,
I cry and cry to get You close to me.
Whatever I have attained, I attained by Your grace.
And what I did not attain,
was because You didn't want it for me.
You led me on for the sake of my own welfare.
You never thought of harming me.
My heart became attuned to Your rhythm.
You gave me conscience, intellect and intuition.
You elevated my mind above the seven worlds.
My matchless love for You will never end.
It will remain life after life,
and lead me unto welfare.
You are the assuager of all my fears and doubts.
Crushing all obstacles on my way, I shall reach You.

I keep sitting with the memory
of those lost days of arrival in my heart.
I remain awakened
with ointment applied on my eyes,
ever waiting for Your return.
In the shivering cold of the northern wind,
in the intensely burning heat of summer,
that carries hot winds,
in all conditions,
You remain.
You are in my heart,
You are in all desires and attainments,
You are at all times.
In the awakening of the golden clouds
of autumn evenings,
in dew wet nights,
in the wind that carries coolness, in dreams,
I attain Your touch in waves of shiver.

Bringing the touch of fire,
spring has come.
Creating vibrations in the blood,
it sings its song in a new tune.
The red colour of the bunches of new leaves
on the kinshuka tree
today charms in the ashoka groves.
The bees have become restless.
Who is He, arising in my mind,
colouring this festivity
in a seven coloured flow of water?
Spring has come by giving a glimpse of warmth.
It sung a new melody, creating fresh vibrations in my blood.
Today the birds on the leaves and flowers
are charmingly chirping.
On the branches of the ashoka tree the bees are buzzing.
The colour of spring is arising in my mind.
It became coloured with all the seven colours.

None remains

None remains

All attain His love equally.

In the garden of my mind,
a thief came,
who is not getting caught.
He took away my entire honey,
without being bothered by obstructions whatsoever.
Day and night this thief is present,
hiding within the pollen of flowers.
While trying to hold that thief,
my mind becomes absorbed in the great cosmos.
This thief knows how to love,
and destroys the darkness of my mind.
The sweet smile of that thief
radiates throughout the world.

You exist in all the minds of the world.

The prayers and the elucidation of Your attributes

You swing the illusory creation.
You are present in all living beings,

I loved You.
Why, I did not know then.
You remain intoxicated in innumerable colours
and with these,
You coloured my mind.
These colours,
I was unable to wipe out back then.
I used to cry in a dark house,
thinking I had no one of my own.
From the sky of effulgence
You announced aloud:
"I am here, why fear?"
I forgot that You
do not entertain any suppression of feelings.
I got up during the daylight
and hid my face in the evening.
You held my face with both hands.
You lifted up
and told me:
"I am here,
look at me
and understand me".
But even then,
I failed to recognise You.

move ahead!
Move forward,

Accepting the reality of the world,
valuing the psychic needs,
keep watching

Rejecting the old and worn out superficial skin,
open both your eyes in new illumination,
accept the ever effulgent consciousness.
With the help of illumination,
peep through the adjoining worlds,
and announce your call,
extending both your hands today,
to welcome all.

At the end of the ocean of knowing and not knowing,
I attained You.
Breaking the bondage of beyond and within,
I held Your heart.
I did not know philosophy,
neither had I affection in my heart.
What is essence and what is superfluous;
I could understand only by Your grace.
That mercy of Yours, I have now attained.
Light came in the night,
destroying darkness to almost nil.
In that isolated and silent great night,
I kindled the lamp of memory.

Between You and me,
please, do not keep any separating wall.
Let me come close to You.
I possess knowledge of neither duality nor non duality.
I know only that those two holy feet are there.
What do You do with those,
who create separating walls?
Tell me why this should be tolerated.
As an atom of Yours,
I will love You only,
and will stay with You only,
with body and soul.
Accepting this simple truth,
ever shine in my heart.

I love the distant star,
yet, I am unable to find it close.
I do not know why.
In my mind,
the hope to attain Your love was awake,
yet, nothing came.
Why? I do not know.
I decorated my house
and created songs for You.
I threaded a garland with my mental flowers.
Probably You would come only
when forgetting Your path,
perhaps also, You would not forget.
Perhaps, there was some lapse
remaining on my part,
there might have been some ego in my love.
And yet, You did not bestow on me
even a wee bit of Your love,
to rectify that mistake of mine.

I have loved You since hundreds of ages,
with innumerable colours and forms,
and with innumerable impulses.
I continued expressing to You
innumerable events of mine
that had been kept suppressed in my heart.
The dialogue of colourful torches continued
with the attachment of hope for success.
I continued singing to You innumerable songs,
of tearful love,
of sweet memories,
of moonlit nights,
all in the tune of fragrance.

The ocean of effulgence dances with rhythm.
O unknown friend,
You continue pouring sweetness into my life,
You continue calling only me.
How can I possibly bear this separation?

My home became dark,
the Lord of effulgence did not come to this day.
The buds of my flower could not bloom,
their hearts were not filled with honey.
The carpet of grass in my floral garden
could not survive due to shortage of water.
Due to intense heat and strong hot winds,
rainfall could not take place.
I could not sing the melody that I had rehearsed,
and hence, I could not travel on a fixed path.
Nothing can happen without Your grace.
I could not understand
that His grace would not shower.

and sang the songs of affection.
The memory of the affection

became brighter due to His love
and with this came the certainty
that my sadhana to attain Parama Purusa

Some are new, some are old.
Taking touch of all hearts,
You scatter heavenly colours.
Your heart is full of affection.
It is pure and pious,
straightforward and incomparable.
Filling the world with tunes,
You dance on in flashes.

O deer eyed one,
why are your eyes full of tears?
You picked up flowers,
you rehearsed your melody,
and yet, He still did not come.
On lips coloured red with betel leaves
why does your voice faint?
Tonight, under the impulse of what disheartenment,
why have you not dressed up in your evening dress?
You have so long been looking at the sky
that the garland on your chignon became loosened.
With each rhythm of specific mandakanta beats,
you do not entertain enthusiasm,
you did not blow your evening conch.

carrying only Your name and song.
At the end of the dark night,
I shall certainly attain
the crimson coloured dawn.
Whatever pride of strength demons may have,
all their power lie but within You.
However strong fires may blaze,
their capacity is likewise but located within You.
I move along Your path
fearing none,

Those who pollute the sky and the air
and create insect stings in the bud of mind,
them, without pardon nor mercy,
You teach firm lessons.

Krsna, Murari,
to this forgotten land of Vraja,
come again!
Today, the Yamuna river
does not flow a reverse flow.
A sweet flute is not being there played any longer.
Below the kadamba tree,
the children of Vraja today do not play with You.
Due to fear that their butter might be stolen,
the milkmaids no longer cover their pots.
And yet, even today,
in their hearts,
they firmly know
that You belong to them only.
On the banks of the Yamuna river,
in the markets of beauty,
within the arbour of tamal trees,
on the path of Gokul,
the milkmaids have kept their face covered
to think about You only.

During this spring,

secretly come to Vrindavana?
The aspirations of the milkmaids
for Your return and love,
occurred in mind.
Carrying the flow of water in hands,
scattering about the nectar of the heart,
with rhythms attuned to the arbour of tamal trees
they dance on, this morning.
Dispersing Yourself,
You brought the colour festival of Vrindavana
to the minds of this world.

The agonies and inner feelings of the milkmaids,
came into mind in a new way.
The river Yamuna is flowing a reverse flow
and is becoming restless with outburst.
The peacock with golden hair went away.
No one knows where.
They all spread love in abundance,
in arbours
and in each corner of mind.

You gave much inspiration to the land of Vraja.
Belonging to Vraja,
the trees, creepers,

dance overjoyed in Your ideation.
The inhabitants of Vraja
even today,
full of love,
take Your name
in search of the butter stealer,

He was the star of the eyes.
By losing Kanu of Vraja,
Vraja lost its jewel.
When listening to His enchanting flute,
the dust of Vraja starts smiling,
and the water of the Yamuna river
and the hills of Govardhan,
start dancing with quiver.
At the time of churning curd,
the milkmaids bow their heads with love.
They think of the moment
when they would see their Gopal
with overjoyed minds.

annihilating the demon of staticity.

provided light to them
and moved forward with all.
In Your song,

Today,
sitting at the base of Your altar,
in an environment surrounded by shade,
I express my revered salutation to You.
For, in it lies the seedling of love.
You gave language to ideas.
You infused melody to language.
Suradas, you are like a mighty god.
You have annihilated the demon of staticity.
Human beings were degenerating
and the light of progress was fading.
You showed the way
and led them towards effulgence.
My mind overflows with your rapturous music.
Sitting in this shady bower,
I offer my revered salutation to you.

You exist in all hearts as divine ideation

Hence, I beg for Your wee bit of grace.
Come into my life and into my mind.
Come into the depth of all feelings.

oscillating in Your rhythm and melody.
You have poured life's nectar
into the smilingly resonating earth.
The water in the river overflows
to attain You.
With Your song,
it rushes on towards the ocean
ideating on You only.
The birds have attuned themselves to Your melody.
Your song resonates in both isolation and uproar.
And the peacock also does not remain alone.
It dances with joy, absorbed in You.
Due to the fragrance of pollen of the parijat flower,
the honeybee has become intoxicated with mental honey.
It goes on humming,
listening to the rain of Your mercy.

and the illusion of mirages appears,

In the sweet and enchanting bondage of our hearts
the distinction between trees and sand ceases to exist.
There is only one sky,
only one sun
and only one moon,
only one bugle,

With the festive one,
my mind rushes forward,

In the cold wind of winter,

In the touch of ice and in the golden sun,
I listen to my distant friend,

The greenness here turns dry,
the earth becomes coloured in the colour of a bear.
It dances on in the blue sky,

my mind is ever alert with consciousness.

You smiled.
I had no one close to me

All remained busy with their own preoccupations.
You came and sat close.
You spoke to me with a sweet tongue:
"Whatever lights in the world
may become extinguished,
and even should the stream of love and affection
become dried up,
I shall always be there. Do not fear,
do not hesitate or become confused."
Speaking thus,
You removed all of my painful burden.

There was no light,

In a small house,

By Your mercy, what would be impossible?
Therefore, remain with me in all my actions.
As incomparable sweetness,
and like a bud of magnolia flowers,
You exist in the deepest recesses.
I pray at Your feet.
Please bestow at least so much mercy
that my mind
may ever dance to Your ideation.

The chariot of effulgence moves on.
Touching many a heart and heaven,
carrying many a shade of affection,
snatching away much love,
it moves on, continuing its eternal journey.
This cart never heeds to any forbidding,
it never pauses nor stops,
it never retreats back in fear,
it moves on always.
Bathing all in the effulgence of love,
spreading out both hands
to welcome all
unto the path of righteousness,
attuning all
to the rhythm, melody and tune of songs,
in the upsurge of the ocean of nectar.

O my dearest,
remain ever immersed in my eyes!
With affectionate love and sweet sincerity,
fill my innermost recess.
I have loved You since ages unknown,
offering to You my entire existence.
You reside in my mind,
as does fragrance in the sandal breeze.
You are the pole star of my life,
I cannot live for even a moment without You.
Like the deer attracted by the illusive and divine mirage,
in my spring season,
O Lord,
remain ever absorbed in my eyes.

Tell me where my Krsna is!
In the bushes of madhavii flowers,
in the grove of niipa trees,
I searched for Him everywhere.
Destitute of roaming,
I continue crying,
tears flow from my eyes due to intense love.
Yet, still He is not attained.
I searched Him on the banks of the Yamuna river,
in the smiling blue water,
full of impulse.
I searched for a glimpse of His.
My days pass by like a flying swan,
drifting along to inertial melodies.
Tell me, where is my Krsna?
Tell me, I beg You, tell me.
I did not see Him anywhere,
not in the madhavii arbour nor in the kadamba grove.
Wandering with tears and an afflicted heart,
I have searched for Him,
In exuberant joy I break into uncontrollable tears,
Yet He does not come within my reach.
Seeing His shadow
on the shimmering blue waters of the Yamuna river,
I searched for Him along the riverbanks with all my heart.
My days drift away on a drowsy melody of a swan's wings.

I await You,
sitting by the path of Your arrival.
With a mind fully absorbed in You,
I contemplate You day and night,
in all my actions.
Whatever sound I may hear,
I take it as Your footstep.
Whatever image appears before my eyes,
I take it as Yours.
In Your divine game,
whatever little I understand,
is that You reside deep within my mind.
Even should You not come close,
no harm,
I find bliss thinking of You.
Sitting in meditative posture,
I long to enjoy this bliss forever.

I love You
and I remain engrossed in Your thought
day and night.
My survival is marked
with Your golden effulgence.
In pain and in pleasure,
With unblinking eyes,
I look unto You.
With Your strength,
I push the wheels of Your cart.
You lie covered within both softness and hardness.
With the ego of action
You drew a curved line into my mind.
Within Your existence
I remain supported,
even should I be far and alone.
Is this a burning reaction (of a past deed)
or is this my destiny (writing on the forehead)?

O kind Lord,
what sort of game
do You keep playing with me?
You gave me
shelter, food and much more
that I cannot even recall.
You provided a mother's love and affection to me,
You gave me protection at a father’s chest,
You brought to me helping brothers and companions,
and gave me life long knowledge.
You gave me the touch of love,
the pleasure of moonlit nights,
the delight of spring,
and rhythmic melodies.
You showed me the ultimate destination
and brought about absolute attainment.
You removed bondages and doubts
and made me fearless.
O divine placer!

O Lord,
You came in the play of melody,
singing songs along the way.
There was none to welcome You,
all were in deep sleep,
even while it was morning time.
You did not want any welcome or any garland.
There were no devotees to surround You.
There was a smile on Your face,
a melody and a flute.
You came with rhythm in a beautiful form.
With the tinkling sound of ankle bells,
that emanated from Your sweet feet,
You took Your place in the depth of my mind.
You came in surprise
into my mental Vridavana,
and secretly applied ointment onto my eyes,
to open them
and to fill my heart with affection.

What for do you cry day and night?
Who has taken away your necklace?
With tearful eyes,
whose garland do you thread?
Your throat seems suffocated;
your voice does not articulate itself properly either.
And yet, suppressing your emotions with both your hands,
whose melody do you practice with all your heart?
Who is that enchanter whose sweet flute
snatched away the smile from your lips?
Sitting on the balcony,
with which thread of love
and with what form and colour
do you arrange your tresses?

then, to attain You,
I would not have frenzied.
Why did You love me
and why did You smile,
to delusively bind me within You?
Why did You play Your divine game with me?
How much of this divine game do You know?
How many sports with colours and forms
flow in Your stream?
You come close in Your divine play,
and on coming,
You sit in my mind.
Then, You go far away.

while others lose themselves in darkness.
Some people long to attain You
while others desire Your presentations.
Some people rush unto accumulated effulgence
in scattered illumination.
Some keep crying,
in ruined bamboo groves,
carrying the skeletons of the past.
Some people announce You as essence,
and in their heart, love only You.
And some,
from within the effulgent fountain of Your grace,

Some people,
under the spell of divine ecstasy,
ever dance on,
because they do not find satisfaction in anything else.

Other than Your thought and awareness,
no other way exists for me to take.
I remain intoxicated in the song of Your name
and attain a wee bit of Your grace by meditating on You.
Listening, contemplating and concentrating on You,
I understand that there exists nothing other than You.
In songs, dances and sighs of joy,
in pain, injury, worry and happiness,
in the heat of the desert
and in the coldness of mountains,
in everything,
I find You.

You came in springtime
colouring my mind with sweetness.
That colour can never be wiped off,
not even on a painful summer's night.
That colour remains in sky and air,
in greenish beauty
and in crimson light.
That colour remains in the fragrance of spring,
in the tender heaven of my heart.
That colour can never be lost
to cruel and merciless hot winds.
That colour will ever stay with me,
as polestar of my eyes.

Wiping away the darkness of fog,
removing all traces of disappointment,
carrying the lamp of hope in hand,
He came at night.
His eyes were filled with love,
His face was illuminated with effulgence.
Silently, leaving His cyclic moving on the path,
He stopped at my door.
The sky was loaded with clouds,
the firmament of my mind was filled with ideation.
Thinking of Him,
tears accumulated in my eyes.
On that evening of the rainy season,
the magnolia flowers
spread fragrance into the air.
Looking at the moon that hid behind the clouds,
the peacock started dancing.
On the dust of His feet,
mercy prevailed,
in my mind,
delusion aroused.
Into this delusion,
by the touch of that dust,
vibrations sprang forth.

Though You are beyond words and mind,
I recognise You by my actions.
From melody, rhythm and tunes

You remain formless, detached and beyond thought.
By an unknown attraction
and the thread of love,

You loved me
but I did not love You.
You removed my darkness
but I didn’t want to move towards effulgence.
Into the fragrance of flowers,
into the expression of life’s vitality,
You poured vibrations,
like an intoxicating spring.
You coloured me with hue
and poured beauty onto me,
but I didn’t want to take this beauty.
You told me not to fear
as You possessed Varabhaya
and hence, I could attain fearlessness under Your shelter.
You furthermore told me to open my eyes
and see and learn in a new way.
And yet, I still did not open my eyes to see.

You broke the sleep that had lasted for ages.
The left over life of those who,
due to disappointment and disheartening,
had become dumb,
found new support.
To them, You gave provision for movement.

smile.
In the moist wind that darkens the sky,

This affection and eternal love,

Why is light scattered all over your cheeks?
By whose love does it brighten?
Carrying a load of fragrant nectar in your throat
and the weight of a devotee’s love,
You move on far.
Who is it that keeps calling you pauselessly?
There is no end to the path that leads unto Him.
Whoever it is you want,
He is immeasurable and endless.

why do you put on the garb of a renunciate?
O perfectly pure one,
You ever remain as the constant ideation of all.

The sky envelops this small earth.
Yet this earth, though small, is not meagre.
In an ocean,
innumerable water drops lie.
Taking together all,
only the ocean is recognised.
The bud of flower,
the particle of sand,
remain on the side of the path,
with no one ever thinking of them.
Yet, the fragrance that fills this dreamy earth
is made from them.
Their role is nondiminishing.
In the new period,
in the history of the new,
I shall create an environment of affection.
The sweet story of the minds
of those who have done
and of those who now continue to do,
remains in dumb mouths.

Who is that loving entity,

and is recognised by the heaven of your heart?
A single moon in the blue sky,

The tree, full of flowers of incomparable nectar,

It is due to Your colour
that the rising sun in the eastern sky becomes coloured.
And coloured in Your hue,

it goes down into unknown territory.
Coming and going,
desire and achievement,
all are due to You only.
This is what I have come to understand.
You exist,
I too exist,
but whereas You will continue to exist,
I won't.

for infinite time.
This eternal truth and absolute reality,

My days pass by, drifting away on a swan's journey,
and yet, You do not come to my home, alas.
Innumerable coloured dreams of the new awakened in me.
Many a tear floated my heart.
Yet, Your footsteps were not to be heard.
My mental bee speaks out buzzing:
"the one who You want,
is coming for You."
In order to see Him this spring,
the palash tree utterly intoxicates with its red flowers.

Playing the flute in a sweetness absorbed tune,
You came with each rhythm.
With each melody,
into the canopy of my mind,
in Your illusive game,
You flowed nectar.
With shining ankle bells,
and the enthusiasm of smiles,
You came into the temple of my mind,
with sweet colour.
With new,
previously unenjoyed,
charming postures,
You provided vibration
to the eternal tempo.
With unobstructed and grand effulgence,
the peacock of my mind rushes on dancingly.
All thoughts and ideations,
all language and expressions
become lost in the infinite,
never seeming to reach the end of beauty.

why do you turn restless?
All my penance appears to come to an end,
all my earnest desires appear to be fulfilled.
The morning sky is more colourful today
and a sweet flute sound resonates in my mind.
The subtlety of drowsiness has vanished.
The divine trumpet resounds.
My mind rushes out far, further and further.
My overflowing river dances smilingly in its waters.
My overwhelmed heart sings Your praise,
decorated in a new adornment.

and arrows in hands,
that immortal history and everlasting glory,
remains flowing in memory.
There is no scope to pause,

The stories of the times of Kuruksetra and Dvaepayan
ever resonate full of song.
Kuruksetra is the place where the Mahabharata war was fought 3500 years ago.
Dvaepayan is the author of the Mahabharata and the person who first wrote down the ancient Vedas. He also wrote 18 Puranas. His full name is Krsna Dvaepayana Vyasa but he is also know by the name of Veda Vyasa.

The night's cimmerian darkness
hides in fear and shyness.
Cast off the worn out staticity and dogma of the past
and embrace the effulgence of newness.
The divine entity with the divine effulgence
has come today to Your doorstep in new adornment.
The creatures of darkness have retreated.
The use of force is of no avail.
Remembering Him, do His work.

my drowsiness is now broken,
I shall henceforth move on Your path.
I shall spread the moonlight's smile into people's mind.
I shall apply soothing balm on the pain of the distressed
and fill the disappointed with hope.
I shall undergo trouble for the benefit of all.
Whatever storm may cross my way,

The dirt that today lies in my mind,

The great sky longs to touch the mud of the earth
and the earth's mud longs to attain the blue sky.
Parama Purusa loves the microcosm
and the microcosm loves that Parama Purusa.
The love between the microcosm and the Great
has lingered on era after era.
It remains alive every second and moment,
in form, taste and colour.
It was, it is and it will forever remain.
In history, within the core of hearts,
it displays itself as beauty.
The bondage of love remains,
while distances break down.
O Lord,
come closer and still closer,
I long to see You each and every moment.

From the world of effulgence,
come down to this material world!
Merely staying in the world of effulgence will not do.
This earth carries love for You in its heart.
Indeed, it does not know anything other than You.
Lakes, rivers,
mountains, forests and gardens,
all constantly remember You.
In You, day and night,
lies their lifelong longing.
Millions of human beings,
of animals and birds,
mentally and from the depth of their heart,
consider You their own.
In all this, Your real worship displays itself.

There is nothing wasteful on this earth.

and in the call of Your name.
Come onto the seat of my heart.
Era after era,
knowingly and unknowingly,
my love has been calling You.
Lifetime after lifetime has passed.
Death after death has taken place.
My love never diminishes.
It is eternal in contemplation.
The thread of love
with which You tied me,
never breaks, whatever strength there be.
Small and big,
meagre and great,
all are bound within limits
by that thread's bondage.

that is why You are not to be seen externally.
You keep Yourself hidden.
You are extremely great.
All others are but mere atoms.
Under Your shelter,
everything is attained.
It is due to Your grace and inspiration only
that one is able to move along Your path.
O divinity,
from time immemorial,
You remain with immeasurable force,
in the seven strata of existence.
O most beloved and closest one,
stay inside as well as outside me,
stay in both pain and pleasure.
You are in the midst of my eyes.
That is why my eyes cannot see You.
You lie hidden in Your own form.
You are the great consciousness in every atom.
You are everyone's shelter.
By Your Grace, by Your inspiration,
I proceed forward towards You.
You are ever present, O Lord.
You are the master of the seven realms.
O, nearest and dearest one,
remain with me always.
Stay with me in pain and in pleasure,
in the inner and in the external worlds.

From beyond the eastern sky,
with a reddish glow,
You provided peace to restless hearts.
Whatever obstructions existed between You and me,
were removed with one smile.
You are extremely great
and I extremely small.
Between us two, You brought closeness.
No opportunity arises

I had been wandering about,
forgetting the path,
when You anew showed me the way.
I wanted momentary happiness,
and You provided to me eternal bliss.
Sitting in my floral garden,
I used to wastefully pick thorns.
Removing the external petals of my flower,
You poured honey into my mouth.
Bathing me in fragrance,
You threaded a floral garland.
Sitting amidst burning charcoal,
I used to lay covered in blackness.
Changing my outlook,
You illuminated me with diamond-like radiation.
And, removing all my imperfections and shortcomings,
You made me Your own.

My life is not a free flow.
I am a rose flower,

I think of You,
of Your attributes,
and eagerly look upwards.
Holding the earth with rhythm and song,
I lose myself.

I ever look onto the path of Your arrival
and think of only You.
Fill language with colour and decoration.
You are the moon of my internal sky.
Whatever I am acquainted with
fails to be compared to You.
You are singular without a second,
You are the sweetness to a barren life.
O greatest entity,
I continue singing Your attributes life after life.
O unblemished one,
ever awakened,
You remain the eternal companion of the lonely.

You loved me
and went away.
Why did You forget me?
Showing me the full moon only momentarily,
You hid it behind the clouds.
On blooming flower petals in spring,
why did You cast an intense sun,
letting them whither away?
After bestowing a touch of sweet sandal breeze,
You give extreme summer heat.
On the clear and blue winter sky,
wherefrom did the storm arise?
Over the soft and cool fragrance of the shefali flower,
You poured burning lightning
and went away.

O Lord,
in Your universe,
there is shelter for all.
There is light and shade for all,
irrespective of where one exists.
Alongside rose flowers, thorns grow.
On fountains of streams, pebbles emerge.
Along with the lotus flower, mud is present.
The rabbit remains ever fearful.
And ice boulders always surround
the silent and clean appearance of mountain peaks.

The dark night far retreated,
and golden light spread.
At Your feet,
under Your shelter,
vivacity arose.
O God, respond,
break the prison
and provide baths of effulgence to everyone.
You came after long waiting,
and removed all my dirt.
You wiped out my entire darkness
and awakened attraction for dharma
in the core of my mind.
All inertia that unknowingly accumulated
time and again,
era after era,
vanished by Your touch
within the fraction of a moment.
You made me float
in the flood of Your love.

and went away without informing me.

when You pulled me unto You and uplifted me.
My home lay torn and worn out.
I had nothing to eat,
neither did I have intellect nor discriminating capacity.
You gave and taught me everything.
I did not understand
the capability and right of human beings.
I never performed
spiritual practice to attain You.
You taught me intuitional practice

I did not have the dignity of a human being;

You lifted me onto Your lap.

I did not want to come to this place,
rather, I wanted to go towards the path of light.
I wanted to go to where no one dies due to lack of food,
and suffocates due to lack of service from others.
I wanted to go to where everyone gets entry
to the kingdom of real spiritual knowledge.
I used to dream of such a place.
I wanted to go to where all thoughts remain full of love
and internal affection abounds.
I wanted to go to where all receive shelter to protect their heads,
to where water satisfies the heart with comfort.
I used to sketch such a place with colour.

You are the residence of the greatest preceptor,

The fountain rumblingly dances on,
and, drawing a silver line,
it flows through the mountains into the forest.
It does not heed to whatsoever obstruction.
It does not become bound by whatsoever bondage.
It rushes up and down with pleasing imagination.
It rushes through the trees.
Carrying the impulse of the open and matted hair
of Dhurjati's head,
it flows on.
All along each path,
saturated with tears of love,
it seeks liberation.

Leaving aside and ignoring all,
Whose grace do You seek?
Below Your feet,
You left a hard and strong land.
You went up high,
kissing the blue sky.
Looking ever upwards,
singing the song of the infinite,
You attain acceleration in life deprived of movement.
You do not expect anything from anyone.
You display no ego when providing shelter to birds.
As symbol of this earth, You never suppress.
With head held high, I ever salute You.

by whose introduction does your heart fall prey

This morning
during a time of loneliness,
it happened to my mind.
On this light radiating morning,
on the mountain peak,
we saw each other.
In that isolated arbour of niipa shrubs,
sweetness prevailed in flowers and minds.
In that sweet garden of my mind,
with the resonance of attainment,
I tied myself with the knot of love.
Today, my flower is left stamped and crushed,
it lies buried under a heap of snow.
My sweet garden has lost its colour and beauty.
And yet, in the mental arbour of my garden,
even today, secretly,
Your love lingers on, full to the brim.

I could not find the destination of Your path,
and hence, I could not move unto You.
The introduction between You and me
was left covered in darkness,
and hence, I could not locate my ultimate aim.
I thought about why I could not understand,
that perhaps I did not have love nor affection in my fate.
Full of neglect and overlook,
I did not give due value to life.
Many a spring came into life.
Many a winter evening poured its colour on me,
yet, I kept myself aloof

Amidst piles of bricks and stones,
my mind sinks down into an intensely dark well.
I can see neither green grass
nor the form of a leaf.
All alone amidst a crowd of matter,
how do I find relief?
Human beings move like machines,
with "earning money"
as seemingly greatest principle.
It is very difficult to surmount
the opposition of artificiality

Today, the light of the new has come.
By Your arrival, my life was filled with warmth.
All the reactive momenta of dogma
that were created and accumulation
through knowledge, place, time and person,
floated away.
My entire burden was removed within moments
and my heart found fulfilment.
I became introduced to You in a new way.
Recognising You,
all entities became converted into spiritual divinity.
Now, surrendering at You holy feet,
let the current of devotion overflow in me.
A new light has dawned today with Your arrival.
My life became filled with Your warm touch.
The samskara (reactive momenta) of dawn
was completely shattered.
The dogmatic feeling of name and fame
has been fully banished.
All my load and burden has been removed
and my heart is blissful today.
I have been introduced to You in a very new style.
My entire entity has become completely merged with You,
and my only request at Your feet is
that the flow of devotion should overflow in me.

In the colour of illusion
of forests and mountains,
I forgot my real self.
Amidst colourful fruits and flowers,
trees and creepers
and amidst humanity,
the root of minds of all creatures
turned colourful.
Each moment sunlight scatters
over mountain peaks.
My mind longs to attain the far sky,
breaking all bondages.

I did not do anything for You,
and yet, You uplifted me
from the dust of my path.
I never bothered to listen to praises of Your glory,
yet, You bestowed on me Your causeless grace.
You gifted me overwhelmingly filling both my hands.
You provided a place for me in the womb of a mother.
You filled me with love and an overflowing heart.
You poured honey into me in exuberance.
Whatever shelter, food and clothing I received
during times of distress,
whatever merciful wealth of sweetness
during the desert heat,
I kept it all threaded in my mind.
I cannot even estimate
what You did not do for me.

The mirage of the desert calls me.
It calls me from within my eyes
and from within storms.
Wearing skirts,
covering themselves with scarfs,
with both softness and harshness,
the desert girls move on, along the beach.
O silent, dry sand, you bear no green tree.
Yet, I love you,
and crown you silently,
like a silk cotton tree
with red kimshuk flowers.

On that dark day with softly wet clouds,
I saw You on the magnolia flower lane.
At Your feet,
ankle bells were sounding.
In my hand,
the small flame of a lamp was burning.
In Your eyes,
a sweetly flowered plant lay reflected.
And from my eyes,
a fountain of tears emerged.
There was no one besides You and me.
This was a meeting between the small and the great.
You came with smiling rhythm
and the fragrance of pollen.
I moved with a throbbing heart
and unknown feelings.
I forgot, afterwards,
drifting into intuitive knowledge,
what I was and where I was.

Why did You come today into my mind
when all my flowers have withered away
and in my mental garden only thorns remain?
There had once been a day,
when the beauty of flowers had prevailed,
as had sweetness and charming and delicate subtlety.
My sweetness had overflowed,
yet, on that day You did not come,
even after hearing my invocation.
My altar had laid fragrant and decorated,
for You to bestow Your grace that day.
This event, I continuously think of, even today,
as I keep my agony suppressed in the depth of my mind.

Births after births,

I have been moving forward,
despite the thorns under my feet.
On Your path,

I have never felt dullness,
I am a sweet bud in Your imagination.
During moonlit nights,
seeking solitude to meet You,
I move on with a threaded garland,
and pour out my love.

What for do you pour out morning light,
who is He who has forgotten you in His mind?
During sleep, while awake,
with whose love,
do you colour your life with a smiling face?
In the heavenly garden,
is the charming parijata flower not there
to win your mind with its beauty?
With everything available to you,
why do you turn restless,
wanting to select resonances?
You have no choice;
the whole universe (both the living and the nonliving)
is full of personal and collective contact (otah and protah).
O Lord,
You are adored and worshiped externally,
and yet, You exist in the depth of the microcosmic mind.

I want You in ever new meetings of love.
In the floral garden,

love scatters by the honeybee.
I do not want fame,
garlands of flowers,
worship
nor intoxication of respect.
I just want a heart full of love.
I do not aspire for anything.
You know my requirements.
You are in the deepest world
of action and duty.
You are the vitality of life,
the essence of all nectar.

You lifted up
the freshly bathed morning dewdrops.
In the sketch of green leaves,
in the charming eyes of the deer,
You cast in diverse styles,
a magic spell
and an example without comparison.
In the blue sky,
in the clear voice,
in the murmur of the forest,
You made sounds resonate.
You taught songs to the melody
that flows in the silvery fountain.

O my sympathiser,
how far do You go?
Smiling sweetly with love,
You remain unknown.
A threaded garland of songs,
and the bouquet of love are left.
You draw with Your feet
the sketch of memory
that lies in sweet moonlight
and then, You rush off.
The dream that remains coloured
with the hue of a colourful peacock's tail,
carries the empty and cyclic bear's dance.
In green grass,
in the pollen of flowers,
in the longhorn
that moves northeast,
You sing.

turn into form

O gem,
provider of everything,
focal point of my ideation,
You radiate the effulgence of love,
like a shining and luminous gem.
From age ato age,
living beings have been searching You,
and find You within themselves
in hundreds and hundreds of forms.
In life and death,
whatever is attained
and whatever is not,
is all located within You

I have forgotten how to love.

You do not see nor consider
deserving qualifications,
You look upon all with causeless mercy.
The moon pours its light on all heads,
irrespective of whether they are good or bad.
The camphor makes all waters fragrant.
The sandal touches even hard insects,
even those who turn away from it.
I assumed no one loved me.
I came crying
and thought I would leave painfully.
On the earth, only pain is there for me.
Today, I understood I am not helpless.

so why did You forget me?
Knowingly, I wanted pain;
You made me forget both sorrow and joy.
I was drifting in the deep ocean,
You remained seated on a golden mountain.
I remained submerged in disappointment and disgrace,
You remained in the auspicious sun rays,
ignoring me.
For how many eras
our love has existed,
is not known to the history of poets.
You are great and I am small,
that is why You neglected me.
How could I not be Yours
or You not be mine?
From time immemorial,
a smiling sweetness,
is vibrant even today in almighty fashion.

over the waves of the ocean of melody.
I would swing rhythm and meter,

I would find the memory of joy,

Whatever was accumulated by me,

I understood Your glory

my eyes shed tears.
Swarms of bees
buzz into the arbour of my mind,
and speak about You only.
I wanted to forget You
but am unable to do so.
Unknowingly, I keep singing Your song.
The flowers of spring,
the sandal breeze,
keep Your sweetness around them.
In the clouds of the sky,

Thinking of You,
I seek You,
in the sky, in the air,
in the resonance that fills the earth.

You encompass the whole world
with the intoxication of subtle sweetness.
Days come and go
in colourful illusion,
along the bird's chirping.
In the intoxication of Your ideation,
my mind forgets itself.
It remains overwhelmed,
pronouncing long sighs.
In those days,
I merge with the dust of Your feet,
which loses itself in the longitude of time.

O Lord of my mind,
come into my mind!
Come into the mental flower
of my decorated tree,
and smile from within its core.
I do not want anything from You,
I only want to pour out myself
and offer everything of mine to You.
Come with silent feet,
totally eliminating the distance between us two.
Many lives have passed wastefully,
much an excellent sweetness floated adrift.
This time as last chance,
come and sit on the lotus of my heart.

You are great,
I am meagre.
I keep ever dancing around You.
You are a wave,
I am the dust of the path,
I ever long for Your shelter.
From time immemorial,
between You and me,
the mutual absorption of love
between the microcosm and the macrocosm has existed.
You may stay without me,
but I cannot survive without You.
I cannot think of anything other than You.
You are the polestar
unto which all aspire to move.
Grant me love and devotion,
so that I may continue singing of Your glory.
You are so great and I am so small.
I am always moving towards You.
You are the ocean
whereas I am but a small particle of dust.
I surrender myself unto Your lotus feet.
You are my shelter.
Since the very beginning of this universe
our relationship has been one of love.
You may stand without me,
but I can't stand without You.
I can't think of anyone else except You.
You are my polestar.
You are my meditation (sadhana).
Please grant me devotion and love
so I may always sing Your glory.

O symbol of effulgence,
You came,
crossing the ocean of darkness,
removing all darkness totally,
to benefit the world.
Great sages and saints,
cannot attain You,
even after ages of arduous penance.
O Lord,
You came into all hearts.
When light comes,
darkness is removed.
When life comes,
death dies.
This divine and illusory game,
with which You swing the world,
never ends.

You exist in the ideation of all minds,
so why do You wish to remain hidden?
You are clean and fragrant,
so why do You witness
from a distance only?
You are for those who have none.
You filled attributes amongst those lacking qualities.
Although above attributes,
You are without attributes.
Why do You wish to remain unseen?
You are the shelter of all,
and yet, You remain shelterless.
O Lord of all,
why do You remain above all feelings,
above everything?
In individual and collective contact with the microcosm,
You bestow sweetness.

O my dear one,
in the moonlit night,
on the beach of golden sand
that lies along the ocean,
I shall speak to You
through song after song.
I shall speak to You
in the sandal breeze,
through tunes of flowers
with petals wide open.
I have rehearsed only one tune
with which my heart has become intoxicated.
By its rhythm,
with heavenly bliss,
a new joy vibrates.
On my monochord,
only one tune is played,
within which all love is filled.
By its pollen,
with a smiling melody,
I shall whisper my song into Your ears.

You put on the adornment of joy
with tender mango buds
and red kinshuk flowers.
The forest smiles with flowers of spring
and the mental world today smiles with shyness.
From mango trees buds drop,
spreading a sour fragrance.
On golden mountain peaks,
a golden crown appears to have been placed.
Over the flowers of blackberry,
bees hover from all sides for bitter honey.
With the fragrance of flowers tied to their chignon,
ladies forget their household works.
In moonlight dreams,
within the sandal breeze,
they are being called without shyness.

Why have flowers bloomed in my garden?
Who knows?
Not only in my floral garden
but also in my mental garden flowers bloom.
The flowers that could previously not bloom,
due to intense fog of cold weather,
and due to dullness of inertia,
received a jerk of life today.
The honey that was covered within petals
today obtained life.
The great moon in the blue sky,
on moonlit nights,
wants to reach out,
and talk to all in melody and tune.

O Lord of my mind,
come into my mind
come with the adornment of flowers.
All the flowers have spread their petals
to welcome You by pouring out their honey.
The bud of the campa flower,
forgetting its shyness,
looks at You and lifts its veil.
Although small,
the buds of bakula flowers open up
the doors of their hearts.
Come with rhythm and meter,
come decorated with the red colour of kinshuk flowers.
The buds of mango blossoms
scatter their sweet fragrance all over.
They want to speak to You
by whispering into Your ears,
with a smile of shyness.

the flame of the fire
that You ignited,
will never become extinguished, never!
The path that You told me to follow,
is my sadhana,
my spiritual endeavour.
The work that You told me to do,
the policy that You taught me,
that work,
that policy,
I shall never forget, never!
The actions that You forbade,
the bad policies that You told me to refrain from,
in their flow
I shall never move
nor lean towards their influence, never!
You told us to love all,
even plants, creepers,
animals and birds.
You taught us neohumanism
to which no comparison exists in the world.

O who are You
who came with the fragrance of flowers
into my sweet floral garden,
and let Yourself be held?
You stayed in my mind like a bee,
and whispered devotion and love
into my ears.
My floral garden became filled with only love.
It occurred to my mind
that in Your absence,
nothing exists.
You came and poured life into vacuity,
filling emptiness with nectar.
I did not know what is called love.
I did not at all understand the cosmic entity.
Now I know and understand
that You are my only God,
overflowing with vivacity in the game of my life.

I constantly ask for Your grace,
longing to serve You.
The earnestness that secretly lay hidden
in the depths of my mind,
resonated on the strings of my heart
by the attraction of Your mercy.

I came by Your grace,
and shall continue doing Your work.
I move forward,
holding on to Your path
so that I may certainly attain You.
In which unknown history
did You come close to me?
During all that period,
I have survived.
So continue staying with me,
that I may colour my mind with Yours.
On which flower-filled morning,
on which chirping-filled winter,
have I loved You,
have I lost myself in You?
I forgot that time,
but I did not forget the immortal melody,
with which I shall fill You with song after song.

Why did You come close with love
and departed abruptly?
My mind danced like a peacock,
spreading its tail in intoxication,
and yet, You hid Yourself.
Even today, alas,
my flower buds remain hidden under petals,
though full of sweetness coated rhythm.
O dearest friend,
why do You stay away, unmoved?
Come, come close,
merge with my life,
by Your overwhelming and divine game.
You are the basis of all thoughts,
yet, You do not need a base.
You are the psychic pabula of all.
You are everyone's friend,
sympathiser during pains.
The animate and inanimate worlds,
the temporal factor, are all full of You.
With love and sweetness in Your heart,
You dance on,
each and every moment.

Looking at all with equality,
You constantly think of everyone's welfare.
In the intense heat of the sun,
in painful periods,
You pour out a flow of rain.
On torn out and distressed hearts,
You smear the honey of affection.
On wet and rainy dark nights,
You bring about the light of fireflies.
You know what respect living beings deserve.
You know the limitations
of those who survive with hope,
ever looking onto Your arrival path.
You have taken into Your shelter many a life.

bending down to the dust of the path,
only to lift me up.
You did so much for me,
and yet, I wanted to forget You.
My path was obstructed,
all light had vanished,
my ego totally went down.
Losing my path,
I lay in a pit,
tying both my eyes with cloth.
You told me to look at the aim
and to love You wholeheartedly.
Having forgotten my goal,
I used to enjoy delusions,
intoxicated in momentary pleasures.

The crimson light of the morning sun
enters through the balcony into my dark house.
With the impact of brilliant light,
the ghost of darkness went far away.
Due to agonies,
accumulated ages after ages,
in the condensed blackness of darkness,
in the openingless deep dark well,
no discrimination was to be observed.
In this darkness,
living beings were bound
and the progress of minds became obstructed.
I cried out due to heavy obstruction,
longing for a fast entry of heavenly effulgence
to come into my life.

O controller and illumination of the universe!
Appear in my heart!
Turn the desert wet and green
and scatter light into the darkness of night.
I never performed the actions desired by You,
I could not follow Your path,
I merely continued seeking Your causeless grace,
O one full of sweetness and grace!
My heart remained intensely dark.
Your red and soft feet appeared hard.
And yet, by Your touch,
in a sudden moment,
it all would turn into a stream of nectar.

O Lord,
You gave me so much
and yet, You never wanted anything in return.
In the intense heat of summer,
You provided to me the shade of trees.
You rained soothing water
on the mirage of my dry desert.
My time used to pass by
in the flame of miseries,
that arose in humiliation and disregard.
You lifted me onto Your lap
and decorated me with a floral garland of songs.
The truth lay hidden
under storms of ignorance and dogmas.
You removed that fog
and brought me onto the path of light.

In the unexpressed world
You made flowers bloom.
The flow that was lost in the desert sand,

Thinking of You,
and keeping Your image in my mind
my days pass by.
Of Your sweet love
and enchanting memory,
my mind ever thinks.
I have forgotten day and date.
I have lost myself.
Always thinking of You,
I became like You.
Your encircling movement
always appears in my mind.
I am the viina and You are the player.
I am a drop and You are the ocean.
I remain submerged in You.
O one eternally absorbed in intuition!
Stay with each exhalation of mine.
Translation by Ác. Bháskaránanda Avt.:
Let my days pass by in relishing Your remembrance.
And let Your likeness get imprinted in my mind.
Your sweet memory is a honeyed reminiscence
which my mind desires to recapitulate.
Days, dates have I forgotten and I got dissolved in You.
Ruminating on thee i became Thou-oriented.
Thy appearences and Your departings.
My heart keeps always recollecting.
I am Thy stringed instrument viiná,
and You the player of this viiná,
And I, a drop, and Thee, the infinte ocean.
I remain lost in Thee,
and You, lost in Your omniscience,
Remain ever bound in the rhythm of my breath.

You told that You would return,
but You went away
and did not come back.
The garland of malati flowers dried up,
without You taking any sandalwood paste.
I had created a song for You
and rehearsed its tune the whole day.
The one for whom the song and melody was made,
did not come to listen to it.
All my flowers withered away.
Now, only the stalk is left.
At the end of the day,
surrounded by dropped flowers,
I could not sing my song to You.

The unknown fairy,
came into the canopy
of my sweet floral garden.
By pouring out the honey from its heart,
it enhanced the honey in the flowers.
What a smile in the melody of its flute!
What a flood of tears in its eyes!
The fairy of sweetness,
without taking the honey of the flowers,
poured out its own honey and went away.
The light that comes after darkness
appears pleasing to all eyes.
Likewise,
is the goodness that follows darkness
a defeat of time.

You are the sun in the early morning.

My coming and my going takes place

With You,

and at the ashoka arbour,
swarms of honeybees gather.
The mind colouring hue
scatters into heavenly arenas.
The heaven and earth stay with me,
remembering Your sweet name.
O Ghanashyam,
come to me with each rhythm of Yours.

Churning heavenly sweetness,
I have brought down the nectar of bliss.
With each rhythm,
through the sandal breeze,
I sketch the sweetness of mind.
My pot is full of nectar,
fully satisfying hunger and thirst.
I adore You for extinguishing
all the great hunger in the world.
Crossing mountains, rivers,
forests and gardens,
I have come with a restless mind
to serve and love all.

I wish to dance, losing my own personal rhythm,
I wish to dance, to only Your rhythm and tune.
I have neither language, ideation nor melody;
and yet, I long to sing of Your attributes.
All unexpressed affection,
all great ideative expression,
lie at the altar of Your feet.
Hence, to Your feet, I bow.
Nothing fancy have I regarded as my own;
and nothing shall I take to fill my jewel box.
All sins being mine,
I shall place the result of my good actions,
as a garland on Your neck.

My mind wants to move without hindrances

For whom so much fearlessness?

Who is that - singing in this sweet rain,
to the rhythm of the peacock's tail-dance?
The breeze that vibrates with the pollen of niipa
makes my heart shiver uncontrollably.
Over the pollen of kadamba flowers,
with what hope does my mental bee come singing along?

O Lord,
to offer at Your feet,
I have kept decorated
a tray of various colours.
Look at me compassionately,
pardon my faults and defects,
and annihilate my ignorance.
Other than You,
I have none in the three worlds.
You are everyone's companion
in both life and death.
Do not kick me;
I have no shelter of my own,
Outside you, who exists?
I want neither boon nor respect,
nor do I take pride in gems and jewels.
Keep me by Your foot-dust,
look at me with sweet affection,
and grant me the capacity
to perform Your work.

With the supplementary incoming flow of that song,
a golden dream appeared in my mind.
The distant effulgence,
and the memory of melody,
charmed simultaneously.
The quantum of feeling was too much
for language to express.
Innumerable rhythms lingered on full of hope.
At the side of attainment,
I had forgotten myself,
close to fulfilment of mind.
Your eyes imbibed love
and from Your throat resounded the voice of fearlessness.
Your bosom was full of hidden power,
and at Your feet lay liberation.
By attaining You close,
ideation turned into samadhi.
I was surrounded by an environment of thoughtlessness.

Give a touch to life,
like the soothing shade of greenery.
Halting being unknown to You,
You keep on singing songs.
Before creation,
only You and Your sadhana existed.
You alone were desideratum,
practice and practitioner,
movement and mover.
Only the song of time immemorial remained,
as mutual relation of cause and effect.
On the day nothing will exist,
You will stay in ideation.
In Your abode,
all expressions will remain,
immersed in Your eternal song.

Awaiting Your arrival,
with flowers spread out for You,
I stood in the shade of the bakul tree.
Have You forgotten this incidence?
Due to agony,
my eyes were full of tears.
The sky was clear
and You came with manifold rhythms.
A breeze was blowing,
and it seemed as though the tree had begun to sing,
with the papaya bird pronouncing the fifth note.
Absorbed in the sweetness of sandal,
its branches were swinging to and fro.
With eyes wide open, we looked at one another.
I told You all blind attachments had been dispelled.
You then asked me to come closer.
From time immemorial,
between You and me,
love has existed,
flowing like a river amidst its banks.

I loved You.
That, You must forget.
Do no longer entertain thoughts of me.
I gave You all my belonging,
yet, You did not come.
What deception!
When the sandal breeze
sways the flowers,
can it forget the honey that lies in them?
The moonlight arouses tides.
Can the moon ever forget the water?
But You have forgotten me,
and that is why
You do not come close.
You swung my mind,
and, like tides,
made it go restless.
Then, like the moon,
You smile from afar.
You do not love me anymore.

O Lord,
through a thorny path,
bearing all pains,
I have today come for You.
Look at me with merciful eyes,
forgetting my defects and qualities.
Come into my mind
with charming adornments.
By Your grace
all my worldly shyness vanished,
and all my thoughts surrendered
to Your ideation.
Now only You and me are left.
I have forgotten the world.
I dance to Your name and rhythm
and to Your meters.
That You may come to me again and again,
kindling the lamp of love in my mind -
this mercy of Yours, I request.

be the root of my life.
How much I aspire to have You close!
O unique one,
fulfil that hope of mine!
Aspiring for You,
I eagerly wait,
age after age,
removing all the restlessness of my mind,
and decorating Your altar with mental flowers.
Come,
O purest one,
most pious one!
The petals and flowers of decoration
have now all withered away.
My floral garland has dried up.
In the intense heat,
my mental honey has evaporated.
Come, like the flow of rain,
O my own.

On a rainy night,
in the impulse of intoxication,
I found You close.
In that sweet environment,
my drowsy eyes became directed unto You.
I have forgotten the day, date and time.
In my mind,
only the memory remains.
I have forgotten the flowers
but kept the fragrance,
that outburst of love.
How many years have passed?
How many springs have come?
How many winters floated away,
losing the merriment
and bringing back the honey?

On an effulgent winter evening,
the mist of my mind
did not let me recognise things properly,
and I remained in darkness.
Those symbolising effulgence
came with a torch in their hands.
Due to ego and pride,
I could not merge in them.
The travellers of effulgence
proceeded on with a torch in their hands.
Due to my weakness
I could not accompany them on their journey.

O most beloved Lord,
for You alone,
day and night,
tears flow from my eyes.
You went so far away,
leaving me on the bank of the river.
All my pride and ego circles around You only.
I understand that I had no force of sadhana
nor good deeds,
not to speak of even auspicious ideas.
That is why You ignored me
and went far away,
never to return.

O incomparable one,
with the southern wind,
and into the garden of my mind,
who are You who arrived?
With Your sweet smile and enchanting flute,
in an instant,
You turned my mind oblivious.
I saw You in hundreds of forms,
a hundred times,
but could not recognise You even once.
In the rhythm of divine illusion
You had kept Your identity hidden.
I see You on mountain peaks
and in the dense depth of the ocean's water.
I see You on the banks and in intellects,
like the underlying water that drifts beneath the sand.
I see You in light and darkness.

turning my mind oblivious?
The earth was impatiently awaiting You,
hoping for You full of love.
With the intoxication of sweet melodies,

You attracted it close.
With a loving crimson colour,
and the pollen of flowers,
You won my heart.

who are You who came?

and rehearsed my melody.
I thought of You on moonlit nights
and kept my light glowing on dark nights.
On a cool post-winter morning,
using the white and fragrant autumnal shefali flower,
I threaded my garland with the twine of love.
I had eagerly awaited You,
sitting in solitude,
at times crying,
at times laughing.
O dear one, You forgot me
and wiped me from Your mind.
But I will never forget You,
I will never remove You from my mind
whatever obstruction may arise in life.

You promised to come
but You did not - why?
Why did You delude me?
Why?
To welcome You,
I decorated my doors, my house
and even my road.
On the base of my heart,
I kindled my butterlamp,
and with tears of joy,
my life resonated.
Why did You ignore all that?
You either perform this game
due to love for me
or You do not understand my mental agony.
Why do You play such a deceptive game with me?

Your affection and glory
resonate in all three worlds.
With merely a wee bit of Your causeless grace,
each individual becomes fully contented.
Living beings come and go time and again,
they come and go by Your mercy.
You stay forever with everyone,
with all Your heart,
as close as can be.
O beloved, You will forever remain,
continuing to eliminate the agonies of all.
You will continue to spread Your effulgence,
Your infinite effulgence and sweet resonance,
for all time to come.

O first God,
Lord of animalistic tendencies,
accept my salutation.
Liberator from bondages,
Great Lord,
I salute You.
You emerge from a fountain of nectar,
and descend from the peak of mountains,
to apply soothing ointment on everyone's pain.
Even gigantic snow clad mountains obey You.
Even the greatest physical wealth of Kuber
does not carry any value before You.
Appear like a silver mountain,
O ever benevolent one!
My pains and pleasures,
You understand best.
You never expect anything.
Ritualistic prayers are of no use.
O God of all gods.

He has entered my innermost heart.
I cannot part from Him anymore.
That sweet smile of His sheds pearls in abundance.
Seeing this, my eyes become filled with tears.
I cannot forget Him.
The sound of His magic flute made my heart restless.
All darkness vanished, drifting away into obscurity.
All around only sparkles of effulgence remain.

In the midst of all sorrows,
You came to me O Lord.
Reliever of all agonies,
with silent steps,
with Your sweet smile and pleasing face.
I called You with all my heart.
I looked towards You with all my sincerity.
With hands upraised I said:
"I take shelter in You as the be all and end all of my life."
With open eyes I noticed
that the whole sky was filled
with effulgence radiating from You.
I sang and sang Your songs
and caught hold of Your feet.
Amidst all my sufferings,
You came as their reliever.
You came with silent footsteps
and calm eyes,
with a sweet smile
and a pleasant face.
In distress I called You,
anxiously looking for You,
raising both my hands,
I announced I was taking Your shelter.
And on opening my eyes,
I saw effulgence rising into the sky.
Singing and chanting Your name,
I caught hold of Your feet.

bestowing His rosy colour,
His story, His night,

That love between You and me -
some know about it,
others do not.
A meagre one has tied a great one -
this fact some accept,
but others do not.
The floral garland
threaded with a small thread
and the basket bouquet
arranged with overwhelming love,
the rising reflection of the sun
in a droplet of water -
many cannot see.
The power possessed
by a tiny atom,
cannot be easily comprehended
by simple intellect.
In the nectar that oscillates in the bud
lies the entire effort for attainment.

came and flew away
with all my energy?
My restless heart is still dancing to Your sweet song.
Intoxicated in Your ideation,
I forgot all my wants.
Lifting the petals of the bud of my mind,
who has poured honey into it?
Does anyone know?
All my false expectations were wiped out,
as were all my worldly attachments.
And all disappointments vanished
by the pull of that unknown source.

Dear Lord,
having come at this untimely hour,
stay for a few moments in my small home.
You appear tired due to travelling
and Your cheeks are red due to the impact of the sun rays.
Today, You have intoxicated the rose with reddishness,
and brought the happiness of spring into my garden.
Come still closer
and sit inside my mind,
filling it with love.
O king of the universe,
in this collective festivity of stars,
You have brought about a momentary flash
for those alive.
Come with love, and the tune of a new song,
into this rhythm-lost, poor man's hut.

My eyes were inert with drowsiness.
The earth was wet from rains.
You came as light in the darkness,
providing fulfilment to a life of failures.
The event of that day,
I am unable to forget even to this day.
In the history of all life,
no comparison to it can be found.
You came slowly and went away far.
On that sweet night,
You left a trail of memory.
I have forgotten,
how many ages passed since.
My mind did not keep account
of springs and winters.
In it only one thought remains:
that You were with me.

In the moist breeze,

The stream dances on with resonance,
on this frenzied night.

Which divine fairy came,
with the pollen of flowers,
with love that has broken my deep drowsiness,
with song after song,
like buds of flowers?
On this moonlit night,
in isolation,
it swung my heart.
With its buzzing sound,
whispering into my ears,
it poured out a flow of nectar.
Considering what is known
or what is unknown -
nothing of the sort does it maintain.
Small or big,
atom or great entity,
it awakened all.

With decorated eyes,
gazing, without ever blinking,
I sit by the path, awaiting You.
You gave me Your word
but did not keep it;
You told me You would return
but did not come.
You poured forth a soft smile
and went away far.
Coming face to face to me,
why did You decide to hide in the back?
Taking my heart,
why do You play this game?
You gave me assurance
and took all my love.
By deluding me with hope,
why did You make me cry?
By the end of the night,
all flowers had dried
and the flowers of my garland
had withered away,
leaving behind only the thread.
Still, in the morning
I kept observing the eastern sky,
expecting Your return with the new sun.

Apply the ointment of real vision onto my eyes.
The sky and air are filled with beauty,
and want to look at You with all their heart.
The blueness of the sky,
the longitude of mountain ranges,
leaves, flowers, creepers and shrubs -
You have scattered all around
and kept them immersed in Your ideation.
Today, You have enlightened me.
In the honey of flowers,
in the distant moon,
on planets and stars,
in the song of the nebula,
in all shining heavenly bodies,
in light and in darkness -
You remain merged in forms.

You came with rhythm and melody.
You came as heavenly nectar.
In a deep, dark well,
You kindled the light of humanity.
Those who were in slumber,
awakened to life.
You pulled and brought the distant nebula close.
That which was a distant moon only,
became the honey of the heart,
the sweetness of affection.
You made flowers bloom in the desert.

You went away telling You would return,
but I understand now that You forgot this.
I have kept my feelings suppressed
in the tears of my eyes.
In the blue sky the dreamy moon smiles.
And in my mind appears Your cruel game.
Yet I have remained on the path,
keeping myself awake with songs.
The pollen of the juhi flower
floats into the gentle and sweet breeze.
The warmth of life smiles with each breath.
I do still not accept defeat
and continue moving on, counting time.

Without telling anyone or declaring it,
why did You come in this way?
I could not decorate my house,
nor kindle my lamp to welcome You.
With such arrangements seeming futile to You,
You came, oblivious of them.
In royal festivity,
I shall arrange Your welcome.
With the light of camphor,
with incense and flowers,
I shall welcome You.

I attained You in an intoxicating stage of my life.
Now, allow me to think of You
even in a miserable and hopeless state.
In the crimson light of the morning,
I found You in a new and attractive loving colour.
Now, I witness You as pangs of separation in each pollen.
Colour my mind
when I find myself
in darkness, storms or the flow of tears.
Stay with me
both in the joy of achievement
and in the pain of loss.
Provide the happiness of survival
and absorb me in nectar even at the time of my death.

Come to my home,
come dressed in a most distinguishing floral apparel,
come with a soft smile,
come with rosy cheeks and lips.
I heard that You command the divine sport
but also that You maintain tender feelings alongside.
You constantly fill each pore with love from within.
Whatever You want,
You do smilingly,
with an affectionate look.
At every moment,
You fill my heart
with the essence of the nectar
that arouses from love.

In this spring,
into my floral garden,
who came -
with the sweetness of colour, beauty and fragrance?
Who decorated the world in a new style,
removing far the inertia of winter,
pouring out heavenly nectar in abundance,
flying the mind like a free bird,
and, through invocation, bringing down the infinite and endless?
You did not come in expectation of anything;
You came to pour out Your all wholeheartedly.
You brought all lives closer
and filled with hopes the hearts of the hopeless.

O moon!
Why do You look at me like that?
I want to forget You, but You make me look.
In the world of imagination a dream unfolds.
The earth's dust becomes coloured by that dream.
Into this awareness, You express Yourself.
Is that how You anoint everything with Your sweetest love?
Somewhere in the loneliness a lover weeps.
Clouds appear in the moonlit night,
and make my mental peacock dance.
In which world of Vrindavana
does the devotees find You,
O Kanu (Krsna)?
Please sing for me in that world's rhythm and tune.
O moon,
why are You looking at me in this way?
I wanted to forget You,
and yet, You make me look at You.
A dream entered the world of imagination,
reflecting with colour on the mortal dust.
I understand You want to convey to me all that,
that is why You do not want
to make us taste the honey.
Somewhere, who knows where,
a deserted person weeps.
Looking at the clouds in the moonlight,
the peacock calls.
In which Vrindavana
do the milkmaid devotees find You, Kanu (Krsna)
singing in rhythm and melody?

who are You,
due to whose arrival,
flowers have bloomed?
You raised buds on dry branches
and filled them with colour, beauty and fragrance.
This morning,
into the thorny rose,
bereft of distinctiveness and decoration,
You poured beauty.
To the campaka flower,
which had lost its attracting sweetness,
no one used to come to express their love.
You decorated and brought beauty to the flowers,
by whispering secrets into them.

The nymph came
and approached the flowers.
It recognised the minds,
and, full of love, rushed onto them.
For ages,
the flowers had wanted to make the honey their own.
To fulfil their desires,
the nymph aspired to open their eyes.
On all the desires,
that had been kept hidden in the human mind
it poured love
and sang with affection.

Even though your eyes are filled with tears,
you are one with beautiful eyes.
Tell me, why did you not braid your hair?
Under the moonlight,
The land loti (lotus flowers) remain half open and half closed.
Who is that unknown traveller
who came and captured your heart?
After capturing your heart,
He went away
and did not return again.
I hear that traveller has come again,
but He remains far away avoiding you.
He didn't come near,
He had no courage;
yet you didn't stop loving Him.
Although your eyes are filled with tears,
Your eyes are very beautiful.
I can see tears filling Your eyes,
O beautiful eyed one!
And I wonder why have you not tied your chignon?
The bush lotus remains in half bloom in the moonlight.
Which unknown traveler has come,
won Your heart,
left again
and did not return?
I heard that the same unknown traveler
has again come.
He does not have the courage to come closer.
Yet, you do not stop loving Him.

There were tears in my eyes when He left.
A tear-studded garland was placed on my chest.
I saw His tears but failed to recognise what it meant.
I could not understand whether it was love or not.
He left silently and the deep silence that lingered on
proved He had left.
Whenever I think of Him,
that bodiless entity comes.
He didn't forget me
I also did not forget Him.
It would by lying,
if I said I had forgotten Him.
My eyes were full of tears when He went away,
putting the tear-filled garland onto my neck.
I did not see the tears in Your eyes,
and could not understand Your language.
I could not follow the expectations
contained in Your love.
Silently He went,
the silence says so.
Whenever I remember Him,
he arrives as bodiless entity.
He has never forgotten me
and I have also not forgotten Him.
I forgot to say
that it was a time of merging.

O unknown traveler,
tell me, what is this?
When being called, You do not come.
You come without being called.
You simply smile from a distance.
You remain ever upsurged in the cosmic game.
The decorated altar does not attract Him,
and He has no fascination
for a house well decorated with flowers.
But He comes running to a poor man's hut
to occupy his heart.
Tell me why You behave this way?
How many days come and go in vain?
How many colourful images appear and vanish in delusion?
But as eternal entity,
You continue moving forward,
at every moment,
ever crushing the darkness.

O dear Lord,
I love You.
Not due to Your beauty or attributes
but due to Your incomparable attraction.
I am a particle of Yours,
a meagre part of Yours.
I keep dancing around You.
You are my most revered one.
Why do You stay away from me? Tell me.
Why? Come and tell me why I should love You.
Keep performing Your divine play,
but accept my love.

How long shall I continue to wait for You?
When will You come?
How many days and how much time
shall I have to count,
until this dark night be over?
I tolerated intense summer heat,
and was defeated by the hot desert thirst.
When shall You express Your love
and create rains and hailstorms?
The shefalii flower in winter time has withered.
The snowy winter is now ending.
Probably, once it is over,
in spring, when newly coloured leaves appear,
You too will look at me.

I keep listening to Your song.
There, no one should die of starvation.
There, waves of ignorance should not flow.
There, human beings should not kill other human beings
and flow the river of blood.
There, intellect should be free from inertial dogmas.
There, intuition should prevail.
There, under the darkness of vanity,
no one should suppress others.

Carrying the storm of winter on Your head,

You are the sandalpaste decorated mark

You come and go secretly, with silent feet.
You flow nectar currents of various hues,

You are the lamp,

Dear Lord,
waiting for You,
my lamp got extinguished.
Struggling with the darkness,
the oil (ghee) became exhausted.
This time I beg Your grace.
For You I had kept my lamp burning,
day and night,
saving it from storms and winds.
I am sitting in the darkness,
awake at night,
having to hold and take care of the lamp.
All the items I had,
needed for the lamp to survive,
are now exhausted,
and I am unable to do anything anymore.
I am defeated.
Hence, I surrender myself to You,
a hundred times.
This time, please take my burden.

When flowers bloom, honeybees arrive.
Why then do You allow petals to whither away?
Lives after lives,
births after deaths,
I have offered myself at Your feet.
I came and loved.
Why then did I just see You leaving?
With all might You continue Your divine game.
But why submerge me in that cycle?
You continue performing Your job,

But why flow Your love
by both light and darkness?

You poured greenishness all around

You offered everything unconditionally.
But why did You Yourself not come?
You poured out a fountain of effulgence
and spread beauty everywhere.
You offered Your love with all Your heart
but did not accept my love in return - why?

I have nothing to declare as my own.
Whatever belongs to me,
that too, I want to forget.
O incomparable Lord,
I beseech You,
accept those belongings.
Whatever I had considered my own,
was done so in delusion,
I did not understand.
Now, my mistake is rectified,
and reality has become known.
Now, accept me

In this spring season,
into my garden,
my beloved one did not come - why not?
The flowers have dried,
the petals whither,
they did not get the sweetness of intoxication.
I have made a garland for my chignon,
from fragrant oleander flowers.
I decorated the parting of my hair.
My ear lobes shake the siris flower.
Yet, You did not come and see it.
Sitting in the shade of the ashoka tree,
I create songs for You.
Spring passed and summer came.
But even after so many days,
You did not show any kindness.

there was nobody in the arena of Your path.
Everything appeared bewildered.
And You did not return thereafter.

The path became wet with tears.
Many floral garlands dried up,
and yet, You did not show any mercy.

without expecting anything in exchange.
You told me to follow the proper path,
but did not take any offering from me.
In all circumstances of darkness and fear,
You accompanied me on the path with a lamp in hand.
You showed me the path,
and removed my afflictions,
without ever touching the gift that was given to You.
During storms and the fall of meteorites,
You kept me shaded under the banyan tree.
In spite of all rain and storm descending on my head,

With unconditional love,
You applied the colour of devotion to my mind.
Dark fog surrounded me,
I could not see outside of it.

piercing through the mist,
a flow of effulgence appeared.
I was sentenced to jail for selfishness,
carrying mean egoistic thoughts.
By increasing the circumference of my thoughts,
You brought me into a universal, cosmic environment.

In that place, there was no dark fog.
There was no crookedness underlying sweetness.
Nectar kept flowing on, washing Your feet -

In that country,
there was neither cruelty nor killing.
There was no untouchability, death and hatred.

I was in deep slumber,

By the touch of Your soft hands,

I was surrounded by selfishness,

O embodiment of songs,
I was in a dreamy state,
when, in meditation,
You created a tune.
On the sea beach,
like a shell,
that song dances on to this day.
That song, like the shell,
had been lying around neglected.
Arousing it with sun rays,
breaking its sleep
and telling me it was already daytime,
You fearlessly went away.
I continued waiting,
requesting and begging for Your return,
that You may come
and teach me that song,
thereby destroying all darkness.

pour out love.
Save my Palamau area,

Palamau is my favourite

With its colourful flowers and affection,
it loves all.

You are a mountain
and I am a meagre pebble of a stone.
I take refuge under Your shelter.
On both banks of the river,
I remain sleeping on the sand.
Tell me when You shall come
and fulfil my unfulfilled desire.
In lying, in dream, in sleep
and in my awakened state - always -
I keep ideating on You.
The golden evening goes far away.
The darkness of night intensifies.
O the Lord of the night, come quickly.
Living beings are breaking down due to terror.
I am but a particle of Your effulgence,
dancing in the flow of Your mercy.

How much longer will it take?
I keep looking for You with tearful eyes.
Tell me when the night of my pain will be over.
I have forgotten since when I have been wandering on Your path.
Many ages have passed,
and I do not know

You carry on Your divine play,
so that I may continue crying.
What game!
What merciless sport!
Tell me when we will meet.

In the floral garden,
a bee came buzzing by.
Tell me, what for?
In the recess of my mind,
light has flashed.
You kindled a flame
in the lamp in which there was neither oil nor wick.
Why, nobody knows.
The one of whom
I never thought or waited for -
why did He come and call me today?

Who are You,
who came that sweet night,
creating a heaven in my dream?
With a sweet face, with sweet feet
and the sweetest flute sound?
You came to me in the moonlit night
with light and incense.
You filled my eyes
with Your ever-new song.
When I awoke,
the southern wind was blowing,
carrying the fragrance of sandalwood
and a touch of sadness.
The reflection of the face
with the incomparable smile,
lingers on in each and every atom.

What is this illusive play that enchants my mind?
You came with intoxicating sandalwood fragrance,
through rhythmic series of songs.
No hindrance is there left to lose oneself in You.
My mind does no longer want to stay at home.
In hope of You and in frenzy,
all dance in the mental sphere.
The bakul and parul flowers,
call by waving their hand.
The campa bud is intoxicated with fragrance.
Those left alone,
seek the path,
by threading You a garland.

why do You keep sitting on the sandy beach?
I shall take You to my home.
Do not tell me that You will not go,
I shall not listen.
I will not at all listen to any pretext.
You have to fulfil my wish.
I have kept the seat ready for You.
Even should all pebbles pinch my feet,
and the thorns of kusha grass burn them,
that also, I shall tolerate,
without letting anyone know of my pain.

You expressed Yourself
through fruits, flowers, leaves and saplings,
in hundreds of forms.
Amidst the golden desert sand,
and the resting greenness of beautiful grass,
You reside - both outside and inside.
With Your beauty
You have filled entire world.
Whenever and in whatever direction,
with whatsoever thought,
I look at anything,
I find none other than You.
You are eternally present in both light and shade.
With beauty and flow,
You remain ever engrossed in Yourself.

You came after such a long time,
with much trouble.
Tell me for what purpose You came.
You brought the warmth of life with You,
and filled all with love, O dear.
You brought life to those slumbering in deep sleep,
and who, for such a long time,
had been barely surviving,
nearly dying from distressful inertia.
With the touch of Your stick,
You gently broke their slumber.
To those unconscious ones,
bereft of vivacity,
to those who did not know they had the right to live,
You gave affection
and forever opened their eyes.

You are the moonlight
in the tiny glowworm.
And therefore, I have fallen in love with You.
Radiating Your divine effulgence,
illuminating entities all around,
You dispel darkness
from within and from without.
When there was cimmerian darkness all over
and the universe was nonexistent,
when heaps of static blackness constantly used to be ejected,
into the gloom of nothingness,
You applied the soothing balm of Your divine glow.
Since then, even to this day
You have constantly been pouring out
the sweet nectar of Your heart.
When there was nothing in the universe
in time immemorial,
when nothing like life, death, day or night existed,
only You,
O Lord,
the timeless entity,
were present.
You continue to exist
and move on in an eternal flow.

The free bird keeps on flying.
It does not know
where it came from,
what its origin is,
and where it is heading to.
It does not know
from which recess of the sky its journey started,
and where its fulfilling destination lies.
Who knows and understands all this?
Who cherishes to know it?
This bird exists in everyone's mind,
knowingly or unknowingly,
in deep silence.
It is to be loved always,
because it resides within.
The swan drifts on,
unto a sphere beyond this world.

You were unexpressed,

manifested with name and form,
You had giving this assurance,
ages after ages.
And to fulfil that hope,
You manifested Yourself.
You came in mind and in life

Vibrate my each and every atom

by Your songs,

O king of flowers,
why did You come today
into my floral garden?
Is it that the flowers had longed for You?
And that You agreed to respond to their call?
As much as the flowers are attracted to You,
You are likewise attracted to them.
This mutual attraction and absorption,
takes place in ever new adornments.
The flowers bloom momentarily,
and when withered, turn into dust.
This coming and going is only momentary,
and yet, they smile and dance.

Can those who love You,
ever remain stationary?
To attain You,
tears flow from their eyes.
They flow day and night,
in their coming and going,
when smiling or crying.
In sweet nights,
You remain close to them
and make all float individually
in the essence of nectar.
All are bound by the thread of love.
Like the cakor bird around the moon,
they too, revolve around You,
as if dying for You.
Awaiting the meeting under the moonlit night,
how can they possibly stay inert?

You brought light into the ocean of darkness.
You filled the dark earth with illumination.
You coloured the petals of flowers,
and poured honey into them.
When You came,
on the chariot of seven colours,
the scarf of the rising sun
became coloured in a flow of water.
You removed the curiosity of living beings
and expressed love to all.
The human values of those
who had been submerged in cimmerian darkness
remained latent.
You broke their slumber
and aroused life in them.
The mind of the world's humanity was thus coloured.

The flow of effulgence,
keeps dancing on this dusty earth.
The divinity of effulgence has entered everyone's heart.
This effulgence intoxicates like a dream,
and its flow is scattered all around.
This light destroys all inner and outer darkness.
It vibrates in darkness,
as does Lord Shiva's (tandava) dance amidst darkness.
That divinity with the free-flowing, tufted, long hair
has appeared today.

I had searched You on mountain peaks
and across the desert,
in intense darkness,
with the kindled ghee wick of my lamp,
when everybody told me:
"No, not here.
Why do you search here in vain?
Why don't you go there,
to your own place?
Why don't you go to the temple over there?"
When I went to the temple,
I saw all the articles required for worship,
the worshipper, the guide etc.
But had the Lord to be worshipped gone?
When I searched within the core of my heart,
within my own "I" feeling,
I saw You hiding there.
There was no worshipper, nor guide,
nor tray laden with flowers and articles.

On that crimson morning,
with light-radiating hands,
You came to me,
bestowing Your grace.
There was a sweet smile
in both Your eyes
and a charming flute played
on Your coloured lips.
Soon after You had came, You announced:
"I am going,
I have no time to stay.
I have no bondage of time,
how are you to hold me within the limits of time?"
I told You:
"Take me with You,
make me beyond time
and take me outside the limitations of time,
so that I may perform Your work in a better way."

You came and filled the world with beauty and melody,
but why did You then hide in the back?
You did not come openly
to merge Yourself with all.
You preferred to remain unknown and unrecognised.
I understand that You do not want
to mingle thoroughly.
That is why,
You sought a place free from disturbances.
O Lord,
You do not want to but I do.
Let both these desires vanish.
O creator and operator of the world,
You are vision of truth covered within truth.
You cannot hide from truth.
Why then do You try to do so?

Come in the fragrant breeze,
and into my sweet mental garden.
O King of my mind,
come secretly.
This silent visit of Yours
is my inner intense sadhana,
and will remain unknown to others.
On the altar of idea,
I have placed my floral garland.
I have applied sandal paste
to each petal of the flowers.
I am sitting silently and alertly,
with a purified and happy mind.
No external paraphernalia of incense, candle and decoration
do I make use of.
By holding the mind itself,
I continue ideating on You.
Through meditation, incantation and loving attachment,
my mind becomes coloured with Your vibration.

I love You.
You are unknown and unrecognised.
But Your sweet smile is known.
You gave me shelter
in the womb of an unknown mother
and the affection of an unknown father
on whose lap to sit.
From the scorching heat of the desert,
You brought me to the soothing shade of trees
and graciously provided food and water to me.
In all conditions,
You have remained close to me.

You know how to snatch the mind.
That is why the stream, lanes, stars and nebula
all sing Your love-filled song.
In sandal and honey,
Your sweetness and intoxication remain.
In the fragrance of flowers,
Your glory lies hidden.
In the melodious coos of the cuckoo
and the beautiful tail of the peacock,
Your charm reflects.
O Lord,
You being there in this world,
nobody ever remains helpless.
The wee bit Your grace showers down on us always.
To the world, this fact is known.

O Lord,
have You forgotten me,
or why do You not come?
Why did You give me assurance
and brought about hopelessness?
After giving Your words,
You did not keep them.
You always bring up new types of hopes.
After placing something in my hands,
You vanish with the moon.
You vanish in the nick of time.
Why do You not think about me?
I am a traveler of time immemorial.
I move on Your path
with You only as my desideratum.
Look at me ignoring my faults,
and turn my sadhana fruitful.

Why did You come in such untimely manner,
without announcement or notice?
You did not give me time
to decorate my house
or spread the seat for You.
You did not give me a chance to get ready for You.
I had been waiting ages after ages.
With this hope,
I cried many times with choking breath.
When You came,
You did so without announcing it.
I did not know my fault,
and did not have time to offer You anything.
To rectify the mistakes You had committed again and again,
You compassionately came this time.

You came by breaking open the door.
You illuminated the darkness of my prison cell.
You opened my eyes,
smiled softly,
and removed all the agonies of my mind.
O ever new one,
I do not know,
how You stole my heart.
By pouring Your illumination into my dark mind,
You filled it with melody,
rhythm after rhythm.
In what bondage did You bind me,
not with chains
but with floral ropes?
In the sweet vibration of Your bondage,
You removed all inertia.

The intense darkness of his life has broken down
and both his tearful eyes have opened up.
Whom is he constantly thinking of?
Whom does he seek?
Why is he crying?
What was his fault?
He has loved You,
and surrendered his core of heart to You.
However, You did not accept it,
and did not understand that heart.
That is why both his eyes constantly flow tears.
At the transition point of life,
those who love someone, get that person.
He loves You, yet You do not love him.
And still, his mind keeps rushing unto You.

I never wanted You,

Why then did You come into the depth of my being?
The flowers on the ashoka tree bloom layer by layer.
Palash flowers lie on the path, colouring it.
The madhul (mahua) flowers radiate their fragrance,
while women decorate their baskets with them.
In the garden of campaka flowers,
in an solitary shade,

You have scattered Yourself with love -
into flowers and fruits,
into the crimson rays of the morning sun,
and into the hopes of colourful dreams.
You seated those who did not have anything
at the top of the mountain.
You brought those who were not given any attention
to heaven and earth.
You provided everything but did not come Yourself.
You went away, hiding far.
Knowledge, intellect and skills,
the melody of a sphere beyond the world and beyond time,
You gave everything,
and explained that all forever remains merged in You.

The fairy from the world of sleep came
and told me to keep sleeping,
just as animals, birds, bees and fish do.
She said that just as flowers have slept
with honey hidden within them,
so should I sleep with my eyes closed,
covering within me the nectar of life.
I told her that I would not sleep,
and that I would pass the night awake,
that I would keep awake lest some honey should get lost.
I then asked her if she didn't know that?
And I told her that I would pour out this honey,
and remove her anger.

Only He knows.

He illuminated the firmament of my heart.
I want Him
in the core of my heart,
in removal of all illusion.

Come with the adornment of a king!
My losses and my collections,
I shall convey to You.
O unrecognised and ever new one,
in Your presence my dream remains absorbed!
You have coloured me to the core with sensitivity.
Within the mental garden of my heart,
You lie hidden as effulgent illumination.
Come into the dark corner of my empty memory.
Remove all dark dirt and make me Yours,
and fill my mental garland with love.

He was with me day and night,
absorbed in the core of my heart.
I could not recognise Him,
I could not understand Him
even though I was observing Him.
With the red radiance of the morning sun,
He brought a heavenly melody to the earth.
I did not listen to that melody attentively
and did not get intoxicated by its tune.
Under the mid-noon sun,
dancing through a devastating rhythm,
a thunderous voice called me,
but due to fear,
I did not go closer.
In the agony of the late noon,
Your sound resonated like a conch-shell.
But intoxicated with ego,
I did not respond to it.

You came
and kindled light in the recess of my mind.
In a moment's flash,
You removed the darkness that surrounded me.
I had no sadhana,
and did not prepare my altar.
But entering from a corner of my house,
You came on Your own.
You did not have any expectations
when colouring the arena of my mind.
When You went,
You carried away with You my entire load.

On which sweetness-filled night,
did You enter the depth of my mind
and smiled in a happy dream?
In my mind,
the darkness of ego was present
and both my eyes were full of misery.
O my unknown traveller,
You came closer
and wiped away the distinction
between the known and the unknown.
Within moments,
You merged into one
both physical and heavenly worlds,
with the smiling light of Your lamp.
O my dearest one,
do no longer stay afar.
With the flow of Your effulgence,
remove my darkness.
Stay nearby,
stay within my mind
and, with soft footsteps,
move along with me.

O Lord,
You left without announcing it,
without even a word.
You left in the intense rain,
in the rain of tears.
You did not listen
and did not heed any obstruction.
Alas, why did You remain indifferent?
The white clouds of winter called.
How much the shiuli flowers cried in the cold!
The blades of grass even forgot how to smile and laugh.
Yet, their pain did not make Your mind melt.
The birds sang in spring.
And how much the colourful and loving flowers yearned for You!
The golden stars laid scattered throughout the sky.
And yet, You did not open Your eyes at all this earnest longing.

I loved You.
From the core of heart,
with beauty and flow,
I wanted to attain You.
I was lying in the dust.
No one ever looked at me.
In intense darkness,
I see only You.
During sighs of grief,
and the fall of thunder,
I find You close.
At that moment,
everything else vanishes.

and scatter love into each life.
In this world nobody is distant.
All living and non-living entities
remain filled with Your presence.
Your home is located everywhere,
providing fragrance to all.
No one is ever helpless,
since Parama Purusa is helping.
A sweet breeze keeps blowing
in each corner of this trifarious world.

With the constant light of consciousness,

In the unseen adornment of effulgence,

You came into all minds,
and filled them with Your presence.
Colouring all thoughts with Your hue,
You won the mind.
O gem of the mind,
You reside in the mind.
You are not seen in the outside world
as You have hidden Yourself behind worldly eyes.
Like a glittering gem,
seated in the mind,
You remain luminous.
I love You.
You are cosmic and I am an atom,
and yet, I love You.
You are the ocean
and I am a drop,
and yet, I do not fear to approach You.
With broken hope,
tolerating all pains,
amidst hundreds of agonies,
I smile.
O beloved Gopal of the world of songs,
You appeared in the colour of thoughts.

At the call of the One,
all awoke today
and in the fragrance of flowers,
smiled sweetly with love.
Questions of like and dislike do not arise.
All attained the light of the rising sun.
At this last part of cimmerian darkness,
all arose today,
in the east's crimson hue.
Those who had been sleeping ages after ages,
covering humanity's both eyes,
with a thunderous call,
and a touch of love,
were affectionately awoken from their slumber.

You came with rhythm and beats,
in Your ever enchanting play.
I did not know,
I did not understand who You were.
You came,
revealed Yourself,
and made me understand that You are mine.
I had been entertaining hopelessness only.
There was no light, no hope in me.
In this darkness,
You kindled the light of my lamp.

I have not forgotten You -
You have forgotten me.
The flowers that have dropped from trees and creepers,
are remembered by the lane they lie on.
The hue that colours the light,
the love that soothes the mind -
their trace and sweetness still ooze.
The sweetness that is marked on the mind,
the swan that spread its wings -
the memory and the speed of which never vanish.

I am not a thorn of the path.
I am the essence of floral nectar.
I do not bring low tide to life.
I bring about an upward flow by reversing the ebb.
Moving on a pebbled and rough path,
I never speak of pause.
During sandstorms and hot sands,
I gather strength to struggle.
I am a colourful illumination,
lovely and bright,
removing all your sorrows.
When no one stays,
I shall stay.
When no one wants,
I shall call.
I am yours and
you are mine.
I am a part and parcel of this world.

You departed leaving us with realisation,
and kindling the lamp in the sky.
You departed providing fearlessness,
and awakening consciousness in the human mind.
You came after much invocation and penance,
after many inviting lamps were lit,
pouring love into the niipa flowers
that had remained coloured with expectation.
Come into the lane of mind,
age after age.
Come into the nest of hearts,
providing bliss,
rhythm after rhythm.

within a moment,
He went away to an unknown world.
He could not understand the language of my eyes
nor the hope of my love.
I cannot forget that sweet smile and glance,
as He applied colour to the recess of my mind,
secretly, on my mental seat.
Even today that figure remains imprinted in me
and everything materialises into that surrounding.
He went away sketching with His brush.
He left with rhythm and beats.

In the floral garden,

You spread Yourself.
The flowers can no longer carry the load of pollen.
Each atom and molecule has come to know of Your love.
With sweet footsteps,
in intoxicating sound,
You go on playing the ankle bell.

You have become my pupil's most beloved one.

O Lord,
tell me who can understand Your illusive game?
You are beyond the reach of sense organs,
beyond words,
and beyond the mind.
The intellect surrenders before You at every step.
Why days and nights come,
that, I can understand a little,
but how the earth and the sun came about,
that, I do not know.
Who will answer this "why and how"?
The more I know, the more my ignorance increases.
Why do living beings come and go?
Onto which unknown destination does the earth,
full of beauty and flow, move?
Who except You will answer this?

I attained You after much effort,
wandering a big distance,
travelling through many pilgrim centres
and enduring many a hardship.
After passing through hot sands,
and melting ice peaks,
I returned with disappointment,
to my vacant temple.
But when I peeped into my own mind,
I found You hidden there,
illuminating my dark heart
with the lamp of Your love.

Which distant country have You remained in?
My whole day passed by crying,
in expectation of Your arrival.
I did not know what was my lapse;
I did not understand Your illusive game.
But I know You are the essence of all essences,
and that You will return.
I have heard that there is neither coming nor going for You.
Then, why do I not permanently realise You?
It must be due to some mistake of my own eyes,
or due to a defect in my own mind.

Crossing rough mountains,
I have come close to You.
Moving through arduous illusion,
I have loved You.
I recognised You in beauty, flow and colour,
and understood Your formless existence.
As past of everyone,
and end of all,
You exist everywhere as nearest entity.
No one attains You with intellect.
By the light of intuition alone does one come close to You.
In the flow of devotion,
and by dint of an immeasurable impulse,

The unknown traveller has come today.
In blooming creepers,
in fragrant garlands,
the pollen of flowers float.
Cast aside shyness, fear and doubt,
and remove all suspicion.
Making all His own,
filling everything with immeasurable sweetness,
He smiles in the depths of mind.
There is no formal introduction of His
to come under time, place and person.
Only a heart full of love
can bring about success in attaining that Kanu (Krsna).
Only a subtle human approach has the right over that.
This fact You have made me know.

Your flute resounds in thunder,
and in storms, You smile.
You dance in the rhythm of lightning.
You merge with meteors.
Through earthquakes and the vibration of the cosmic heart,
You instruct us to love all.
In ocean waves,
in fountains,
in the devastating fire
and in the sighs of the annihilating divinity,
You sound out loudly Your tandava dance,
and with an open tuft of hair, You proclaim:
"I am the destroyer of all sins,
I shall devour the devils in human form."

O beautiful-eyed one,
what for are you displeased with me?
Tell me.
Why is there no song on your coloured lips?
Why have you not put on white fragrant bela flowers on your tuft?
You have not put on earrings either.
You have not tied your chignon with excellent flowers.
Your moon-like face remains dull.
Which unknown traveler came
and, after displaying momentary love,
went away?
After taking your mind and stamina,
He left,
and is now mischievously smiling from a distance.

What is the flower secretly holding in its floral garden?
It is lost in its seed vessel.
It remains sweetly absorbed
and covered with petals.
There is honey within the flower,
and so is the colour of hope of attainment.
In the moonlit night,
alongside the moon,
lies reflected a tuned stringed instrument.
In the northeastern corner,
clouds emerge with lightning and thunder.
Despite the threat of storm and cyclone,
the flow of love dominates.

O Lord,
tell me why You have remained far.
If ego was present,
why have You not crushed it?
Within Your light,
Your air,
and Your colour,
lies my development.
The earth and sky are Yours,
everything is filled with Your existence.
Though You are Great,
I am but a meagre particle.
O Lord of the universe!
You are the ultimate desideratum of everything inert;
On the other hand, I am the smallest, distressed pauper.
When there was nobody on this earth,
there was nothing achievable,
nor was there the effort for attainment.
O sweet one,
in the end, only one unexpressed longing remains,
and that is to attain You.

With bowed head,
with lotus and lily flowers,
I salute You.
You are my ever-new astonishment.
There is no end to Your intuition.
In all directions I see but Your effulgence.
By Your intuition,
ever-new playful bubbles arise,
as if kissing Your feet.
There is no coming nor going for You.
Plentiful is Your grand collection.
By attaining but a wee bit of Your grace,
one's "I" feeling merges in You.

I continue singing songs
and kindling light,
On this earth,
there is none I cannot call my own.
I am an unknown traveller,
residing in a formless home.
The decorated heap of articles in the world is mine.
I depend upon those who have no one;
hence, into the empty heart I pour out love.
Even though unknown, I stay close.
In the selfless mind, I remain immersed.
In the nucleus of flowers,
I have filled honey.
I shine in darkness.

O Lord, embodiment of liila,
why did You come at this inappropriate time,
the auspicious time having almost passed?
The petals of flowers have withered;
the honey in the nucleus has dried up.
That intoxicating fragrance is lost
and bees no longer hum.
The floral garden was once colourful.
Petals were overflowing with honey,
and the delightful fragrance was intoxicating and beautiful.
The dried river gets flooded by Your touch,
the dried branch of the tree starts bearing new leaves.
You arrived, poured out nectar,
and merged Your life with my life,
merged Your mind with mine,
O embodiment of consciousness.

That You had come into the depth of mind
nobody knew.
That You had brought heaps of nectar with You,
nobody realised.
You aroused melody, rhythm and tunes,
and told about prosody and meters.
You irresistibly appeared
in slow, fast and medium-paced rhythms.
With Your own hands,
You kindled the flame of intuition,
and filled with love the nature of life.
You removed the distinctions between one human being and another,
drenching all with nectar.

He goes on singing the song of the unlimited.
He goes on swinging the infinite.
He is bent with the load of love
and pours a flow of divine nectar
into the desert heart.
He tells of Himself,
"I am never far,
I remain bound by the thread of love.
I stay in the mind,
and constantly fill it.
Even in darkness,
flashes of light spark from within me."
He further tells,
"Nobody is distant from me.
I consider everyone my own.
I only laugh and love
like the heap of flowers loves the moonlight.
Even extreme darkness retreats before me."

showering down His grace in abundance.
By removing the dust,
and filling me with love,
He made me pure.
The sky of the pitch dark night
decorates You with garlands of stars.
From within the galaxy
You pour love upon the nebula.
Those who were without expression,
speechless, submerged in an apellationless state
for such a long time,
arose by the healing balm of Your affection
and turned the earth beautiful.

You came through the ocean of effulgence,
with a sweet and charming smile,
to love me even more.
I did not welcome You with a floral garland in hand.
I did not request You to come in and take Your seat.
My long night was filled with darkness.
That darkness has eaten up my mind.
Being helpless,
I did not call You,
I could not struggle.
You stood during that distress
and told me You were near me,
on each bank of the stream of life,
with a song for each period.

With the ankle-bell of dry leaves,
a storm arose in the southwest.
It came carrying the northeasterly resonance of visana.
With the fragrance of the night jasmine,
and the rhythm of palm and tamal trees,
it came that night with great impact,
under the stern eyebrows of the God of death.
From beyond praise and condemnation,
the storm frenzied in the flow of intoxication.
Through the gaps of dark clouds
pierced the double chariot in the flow of effulgence.

The fairy came smilingly
and took away the parul flower.
Dewdrops melted into tears,
swinging to and fro.
The myna bird witnesses this
but does not speak,
as it cannot tolerate such agony.
The grown up peacock,
wearing ornaments,
says that it has made a mistake
by not observing.
Nailed in the throat,
the parrot speaks to candana
in the water-soaking gram.
The bathed kakatua stands
and wonders where is parul.

My life and death revolve around You only.
During the scorching heat of summer,

In the rain that brings consolation and hope,

in the beauty of it all
You remain mingled.

Tell me about this event.
Today, on this colourful morning,

The sandal breeze has become heavy, laden with honey.
Even in your unsteadiness,
why are you unable to move on the path?

In what distant past did we first see each other?
In history there is neither account nor record of it.
This event has not been sketched in geometry
nor written down with a pen.
There is no painting of it on either a canvas nor on a cloth
by whatever brush.
When I was lost,
You lifted me,
through melody and rhythm,
onto the deep recess of Your mind.

Why did You come
though You knew You had to go again?
Why did You smile
though You knew You would make me cry incessantly?
Even today, in my sweet garden, the sandal breeze blows.
On the musical octave, the diipak tune conveys its melody.
The fragrance of flowers floats and overwhelms
as though it were tides in an ocean of love.
My moon has lost itself behind dark clouds.
Unto what does the blood of vivacity rush with rapid speed?
In rhythm and in love,
the impulse of melody awakens,
with constant restlessness.

The nightingale dances over the floral garden,
and the cuckoo sings,
so that no flower thief should come close.
Thus they keep on calling.
The drowsy petals of the rose flowers
remain absorbed in sweetness.
They are intoxicated with the charming and loving fragrance
in the pollen of flowers.
All know that this day will not stay.
The flowers will whither away silently in isolation.
Hence all search for only the sweet fragrance
of that unknown and overwhelming entity.

Come, come into my mind.
My world searches Your nectar in meditation.
My sadhana is for You
and all my worship is to satisfy You only.
There is nothing in my life other than You.
In Your resonance lies sweetness.
I come to this world again and again
and understand Your singular being as essence of all.
This world exists because of You
and in remembering You, there is peace.

You came in spring
with feet coloured in the hue of red tender leaves,
and filled the heaven of life with sweetness.
The sweet sandal breeze made the buds smile
and love-filled effulgence appeared on my mental mirror.
At that time, fragrant love emanated from the pollen of flowers
and the morning red hue appeared on the head of tender leaves.
My mental spring became coloured with golden sweetness.
The nature in spring was sweet
with heavenly effulgence penetrating minds and life.
The sandal breeze was pure
and the world became filled with song and dance.

During spring,
in the illusive garden,
flowers bloom,
layer by layer.
You poured into them mental honey
and filled them with the beauty of Your love.
The campa flower bud peeps through,
not wanting to let itself become covered by tender leaves.
The small bakul flower
and the colourful parul flower
open their eyes
desirous to look all over.
The fragrance of the bela and cameli flowers disperses
and the palash and shimul flowers become intoxicated with colours.
The buds of the ashoka tree spring forth all around,
facing ever upwards in search of Him.

On this pre-winter (autumn) morning,
in a golden field,
who is He who came into my dream?
Laden with dew drops,
the low-bending shiuli flowers (night jasmine)
lay on the bed of soft grass.
The white clouds seemed to be extending flowery-like from the tall grass
and became coloured red in the morning light.
The love of birds
scattered about in the blue sky.
In the core of my defeated heart,
Your ankle bells resounded.
The fragrance of pollen
emanated from Your pure and fresh feet.

the language that was in my song,
the mists of hope and despair,

the burning agitation within me,
You removed it all

You came for the total welfare of all in the world,

You came silently with red feet,
extending to both sides Your affectionate hands.
I had neither longing, sacrifice,
patience, austerity nor sadhana.
You came in the sweet flow of ideation,

You poured out the pollen of life,
and took away the honey of my mind.
Without exposing Yourself,
You knew all about me.
Outside, there was a shameless wind,
within my mind was a shy desire.
Making me forget my all,
what did You get in return?
Though I am meagre,
You are vast.
Within You, I exist.
What did You achieve by obtaining me?
By giving Yourself to me, You lost Yourself.

What intoxicating fragrance
floats in the colourful breeze of the floral garden!
In the sweet charm of the stream of my heart,
what do the buds say?
Above, I behold an azure-coloured flower
and below, the intoxicating and white mahul flower.
The grand sunflower looks at me face to face,
scattering its sweetness unto the unknown.
The nightingale speaks in the language of songs.
The shimul flower can barely contain the craving of its heart.
In springtime,
why do the palash flowers remain intoxicated with enthusiasm,
doubling the amount of heat they radiate?

You told me You would come again,
and with that hope I keep counting time.
Maintaining all my longings suppressed in my mind,
I weave the web of dreamy pleasures.
Days come and go with hope and in despair,
breaking off many a fragile thread.
Storms and cyclones have fractured many a wing,
and were then followed by rain, thunder and lightning.
O softest amidst hardness,
let my earnestness enter Your ears,
that even should You remain far,
in my heart, I may listen to Your song,
O most innermost one!

O unknown traveller,
You have remained far only.
I called You so much,
and yet, You did not hear me.
In the red colour of the rising sun,
I called You with love.
In the blue of the evening sky,
my sincerity lay reflected.
On the dew-drenched shefali flower,
in the deeply-blueish and fainting outfit of winter,
in the lively stream of spring,
and in the fragrant and floral breeze,
I called You,

During rains that were so thick that even clouds could not be seen,
rains that turned the sky dark,
I called You with tear-filled eyes.
In the restless wind,
amidst the resonating noise,
and in the depth of mind,
a dark eye mark was applied upon me.
O Lord,
under the blue shade of the sky,
imbibing the assembled restlessness of the storm,
would the rock obtain softness?
After the flow of lightning
and the thunder of meteorites,
the compressed thought of my heart
became lost in darkness.
I know that one day this darkness will be over,
and all calamity and distress be removed,
in the absorption of a new morning.
Beyond my eyes and beyond darkness,
You will provide
flows of effulgence
and periods of joy.

Coming and going,
desire and attainment,
only around the two does my existence revolve.
Like a stream
whose flow of water
joins the mountain and the ocean
I drift along.
How many times did I have to come?
How many times did I have to go?
How many times did I have to get lost in the desert?
Time and again I return,
as though vapour,
while the mirage of hope calls.
I desire with and without cause.
I attain something
but do not attain further.
Amidst achievement,
I forget Him
who removes all mist.

O Lord,
You came in the night of my sorrows.
You did not come during my happy days.
You came into fold through tears
and could not be deluded by crafty deception.
I had kept the basket of spring flowers ready for Your worship.
I could not attain You
by offering them
but attained You instead in prayer during pain.
During the play of laughter,
and the festivity of light,
during these happy hours of mine,
I could not find You.
It was in pitch darkness that I experienced Your mercy.

He never came close to me.
For that reason tears flow from my eyes.
Why should I love Him who does not speak?
I rush into land, water and the great sky,
searching and hoping for Him.
Playing on the strings of my mental viina,
I did not find Him close anywhere.
Carrying love-laden honey
and a heart full of sincere desire
I wandered about, devastated.
When shall I get Him close?

You are as severe as a thunder bolt,
yet, as tender as a flower bud.
O Lord Shiva,
holder of the pinaka drum,
I salute You.
You are like a silver mountain,
carrying a crescent moon on Your head.
I know that You imbibe all attributes.
You are the controller
of both the expressed and the unexpressed worlds
and the shelter of all distressed.
You are beginningless and beyond the scope of time.
Yet, You remain established in all finite objects.
I salute You, O ever tranquil one!
Lord of all animalistic tendencies!
You are the owner of all gems
and also the supreme relinquisher of everything.
You are as effulgent as a bright emerald.
O very seed and primordial force of the universe!
Controller of all created beings!

Do not forget me even should I forget You.
I do not hesitate taking Your gift,
yet, I forget giving.
During flashes of light and happiness,
I am unable to see You.
I continue crying during nights of pain,
asking You to save me,
O remover of pain!
During happy days,
I create a web of reasoning,
saying I believe in neither another world nor in You.
O Lord,
but during times of pain,
I pray to You to come.

I dwell in the pollen of flowers,
filling it with honey.
Agitating the ocean of life,
I express Myself in rhythms.
I sing in unknown lyrics,
drawing My language from the ideas of the infinite.
With a bright face,
in the heavenly garden,
I champion destruction.
I whisper into the ears of flowers,
and remain absorbed in the essence of nectarial beauty.
In fire, air and the smiling blue sky,
I recognise the ever new.

Where are You going,
leaving me?
Please tell me.
I know the ice has melted
and will again emerge as a fountain.
The trees that have dropped their leaves during the cold,
will again blossom in spring.
The sky has become crimson coloured,
in the play of the early morning.
Without You showing the beacon,
I would get lost in the depth of the forest
as I have no spiritual endeavour / sadhana.

O Lord,
stay a while in my home.
Flowers bloom in my garden.
You usually never come,
carrying those red feet.
Taking the fragrance of campaka flowers from the garden,
using the essence of heavenly nectar,
and the honey of my mental flowers,
I am threading a garland of no comparison.
By filling a pure and pious mind with incantation,
I have decorated my house with much endeavour.
Like the smiling niipa flower in the soft rain,
my aspiration oscillates and sways.

O beautiful eyed one,
who are you constantly thinking of?
Who are you looking for on the path
with a deep longing and fixed eyes?
Who is that beloved one of yours?
Who has stolen your heart?
Who took away your heart from a distance?
You never cherished anything;
you only wanted to offer yourself
and that is what happened to you.
You got what you desired.
You desired to offer your heart and mind
and this is what happened.
He took away your heart to some distant sphere,
to some unknown arena.
Today, with a heart full of devotion
sing the love songs of your heart.
In those songs your longing lies embedded.
The tears of your songs will inundate the entire universe
with the flow of devotion.

Pulverising all inertia,

There is no comparison to You in the world.
Your effulgence spreads throughout all the seven strata.
He is the eternal truth.
He is the ultimate endeavour.

Into the leafless forest
You came during flowerless days,
filling it with tender new leaves,
and making flowers bloom on dry branches.
The hopes that had withered away,
the language that had become dumb,
into these,
You brought bunches and bunches of reverberations.
By bringing about an undercurrent,
You made the stream that had dried up
and become lost in the sand, flow again.

Many flowers have bloomed,
many have withered away.
Clouds have come and brought about rain.
You did not come.

in the fragrance of blooming flowers
and in sweetly scented forest groves.
The honeybee of my mind hums
as it follows Your irresistible call.
Hours pass.
Moments and instants are lost
in the bosom of infinity.
And yet, so far you have not come.
Nor have You talked to me.
Floods of tears pour from my eyes.
O heartless one,
what is Your true nature?
Why do You play with my mind?
You have not understood my pain.
You have not heard my cries.
The day departs on the wings of flying geese.

O bud of campa,
I am telling you not to come so close.
Observe from behind,
spread your fragrance,
but do not touch the earth.
The trees in the floral garden,
are long, straight and of sweet nature.
Their enhanced beauty welcomes rain.
The central gem of the ocean of beauty,
the inner voice of the golden flow,
gets lost in the will fountain of its inner core.

The forest trees of ashoka and palash smile,

In the restless wind, the pollen of flowers floats on.
With empowering sound,
the cuckoo sings in its characteristically rustling voice.
With the vibrating sound of ankle bells,

coming to me at least once,
please explain the realities of the divine world.
To which unknown destination
do the nebulae and galaxies of the blue sky float?
Is what I observe with the senses perfect reality?
Is whatever I do not perceive all untrue?
Which is false and which is true?
What was once existing but disappeared in the past?
Whatever is present in the scriptures,
is only that authentic?
Whatever is not included in the scriptures,
is this to be ignored?
Staying in my mind,
please offer basic answers to these fundamental questions.

Into the pollen of the smiling flower,
You have poured heavenly nectar.
No entity, wherever it may be,
remains negligible.
Though distant it may seem,
it is related.
Taking all with You,
in an integrated way,
You created the world.
The star loves the infant on earth
and the infant wants the distant star.

most valuable diamond,
essence of heavenly sandal!
There is no coming nor going,
no diminishing nor decay for You.
You are the pervasiveness
of the spirited ocean of the nectar of love.
In which distant past
You smiled into my mind,
has not been recorded nor written down.
I only know that You exist and love,
and that without You
everything of mine would be jeopardised.
You are present in air, fire and in the smiling sky,
in planets, stars and in the darkness of time.
Filling everything with sweet affection,
You scattered about an infinite number of immeasurably precious gems.

the mind that had been afflicted by poverty,

No matter whether You speak,
or do not respond,
still, I shall continue calling You.
If You do not allow me to hold Your feet,
I shall look to the dust of those feet.
Let numerous days pass by,
let there be much crying,
let the nights pass by flowing tears,
still, I shall not fear,
still, I shall not stop
to whisper into Your ears my inner feelings.
Let great obstructions come,
and even should seemingly insurmountable, gigantic mountains appear,
by crushing them with a forceful blow of my feet,
I shall be victorious.

I threaded my garland for You only
and thought about only You.
You are the overflowing sweetness
in my mental casket.
The day brings Your message.
The play of night brings Your softness.
The dusk and the dawn
bring Your sweet rhythm and well-rehearsed songs.
There exists no entity other than You.
Even before the beginning,
I find You.
And at the end of the end,
I witness You, ever smiling.
O divinity of the distant heaven!

Into the arbour of my mind,
swarms of honeybees come and go,
what for, I do not know.
With the spring breeze,
in my mental blue sky,
the swan does not spread its wings.
I wanted Him in sound, in touch,
in the smiling sky and in intense fragrance.
I wanted Him in beautified flows,
and in the soft sandal breeze.
I speak to Him with each breath that I express.

Absorbed in sandal fragrance,
who has come today?
He came to me with darkened eyes
and without asking for anything.
I told Him, "I do not recognise You properly,
but see You only mentally,
creating a seat without home."
You said, "Know me,
my introduction with you dates from time immemorial,
I have come decorated in hundreds of forms."

Do not go away,
stay for a while,
I have more to say.
You may not accept my words,
but what do You lose in listening to them?
Why do flowers wither away?
Why does the garland of love dry up?
Why are thoughts, kept covered, awakened with swing?
The night jasmine comes in winter.
The lotus does not bloom in the snow.
In the beautiful blue sky,
with what hope,
does the swan glide and call?

If You will not come,
why then should I look onto the path?
If You have forgotten how to smile,
why then call You day and night?
The southern wind keeps blowing,
and does not respond to my call.
He knows love,
and ignores formal expressions.
Why then sing songs for Him?
The honeybee whispers into my ears,
"Offer love but do not accept it."
The one with whom the acquaintance takes place
says that the divine play will never cease.

Yet, there is no illumination of rhythm nor progress in sight.
O divinity attainable in dream,
tell me about the destructible maya,

Understand my restlessness,
and my love-absorbed heart.
In nights of pain
and mornings of pleasure,
You play Your game with me.
Despite all the swoons of my mind,
You carry on Your divine game.

Day and night,
I think,
and go on thinking about You.
I believe and know
that You also accept
that You have won my mind and life completely.
Not moving along a straight path,
I go on crossing curvatures.
Those curvatures that bind me
with the rope of attachment,
I carefully avoid.
Even remaining close to You,
I do not find You nearby.
I look outside
and do not look inside my mind.
Hence,
come in royal function,

I am like a fountain with an uncontainable flow of water.
The message of mountains and molten ice,
I carry and pass on to the ocean with sweet words.
No bondage is capable of binding me.
The monster-like prison cannot obstruct me.
With restless vitality,
I rush on as if mad.
I do not fear any obstruction at any time.
Into dry throats,
sweet juice I fill.
With jingling vibrations,
I go on dancing,
ever breaking bondages.

Dear Lord,
You have been looking at me
though I did not look at You.
You loved me
though I did not maintain this memory.
How much causeless grace from You I got,
filling my mind with beauty and flow!
You gave me touch of flowers, fruits, and sandal breeze.
Whatever I wanted, You gave even more than that.
You removed all my dirt and sins.
For the sake of all-round welfare,
and a redirection of reality,
You poured into me a flow of nectar.

floated along the expression of rhythm?

In Your song,
You embedded the melody of love.

Whatever was considered unattainable,

What was full of dilemma,
the stream that got lost in the sand,
returned and obtained flow
with the soft breeze of the cloud.
Today, the forestland is eagerly restless,
and is being decorated with new and tender leaves.

Into the corner of my mind,
who came?
Coming silently,
and sitting down silently,
He rekindled my extinguished candles.
The one I was thinking of day and night,
the one I loved,
is that You?
After such a long time,
in silent isolation,
You offered Your pearl-like smile.
That unknown traveler,
is He still unknown?
The event that took place
between the moon and the tide
remains unknown.
In the temple of my mind,
the turbulence of honey bubbles.
Today, You have filled the earth
with beauty and flow.
Who came into the corner of my mind?
You came silently and sat down silently.
You lit up my extinguished lamp.
Who am I thinking of day and night?
It is You that I have wanted.
After a long time in a lonely forest,
Your laughter was as effulgent as a diamond,
and yet, You remain an unknown traveller.
Who does not know the joy of a moonlit night
and the beauty of a stream?
You sweetly delighted and vibrated my mind
and made me extremely happy.

The cuckoo of my mind cries in solitude,
looking at the distant sky.
The moon is there, the cloud is there,
but no sweet breeze fills the moonlit night.
You did not speak nor talk.
You did not come.
You did not notice the separation of our love.
You stayed distant and remained far.
You did not call,
as if I were unknown to You.
How close You used to be to me,
colouring my mind with the sweetness of Your colour!
From staying in form, You went to being formless,
playfully floating in the divine sphere.

crossing the ocean of forms.
Beyond dilemma and drowsiness,
I saw the multiplicities of waves.
I did not find You in philosophy,
neither do the sciences know You.
With the charming thread of love,
I came to know You in sweet ideation.
I accept that through ritualistic worship,
with all its incense, lamps and bouquets of flowers,
with offerings and language-bound prayers,
You will not come within my reach.

By thinking of You
I have become mad.
Your image vibrates in my mind.
Your smile and charming flute
enter my heart,
making me forget my whole existence.
In the cold wind of winter,
from within white clouds,
emerges a swan, gliding with wings outstretched.
In that dreamy environment,
in that nebula,
my small "I" ceases its movement.
In the icy inertia of the winter fog,
in this snow-laden environment,
all my vitality seems to have dissipated.
Come at last,
bringing waves of spring,
and resonate in silence.

As white effulgence
You have filled in my mental arena.
O eternal and unchanging entity,
with all Your expressions,
You rush on towards effulgence.
In everyone's desires,
in the attainments of all,
by residing within each one,
You float unto infinity.
O Lord,
I have seen You in hundreds of forms,
and, time and again,
unknowingly became immersed
in the grace-bestowing dust of Your feet.
I cry with infatuation,
my eyes closed.
Please unravel this entanglement of mine
with Your own hands.
Finding me nearby,
please draw me close to You.
By not performing desirable actions,
I wound my own mind,
Submerged in a hell of my own making.
Please release me from this predicament,
please shower upon me the rain of Your grace.

Today, I have kept a clay lamp kindled
in my mud hut.
There is nothing in this world
that I can call my own.
I know only You as the essence of all.
There is nothing which belongs to me,
absolutely nothing.
The mirage of vain hopes has been left behind.
The tussle of likes and dislikes,
of achievement and loss,
made me cry and weep.
The soft breeze along the path brought drowsiness, alas.
The fragrance of flowers became lost in the past.
Whatever I see clearly with my eyes,
whatever I think unmindfully,
enfold all these
in the deepest recess of my mind.

If I ever forget You,
please rectify this mistake of mine.
If I ever praise myself,
please rectify this too.
You are like a festival of light on a dark night,
an oasis to a traveler in the desert.
To a dry throat,
You are cool, refreshing water.
And to the downtrodden,
pleasing and sweet as a niipa flower.
By Your presence
I exist,
By Your presence
the earth exists.
To this song
You make me listen
in every moment.
In this world I am alone,
like a peacock that lost everything in a forest fire.
From the ashes of this burnt forest,
draw a sacred mark upon my forehead.

Why did You intoxicate me so irresistibly?
Please tell me.
Why, in so many forms and flows
did You cause my blood to surge?
Whatever I had wished to hide,
You drew from my lips;
The hidden agony in the core of my heart
found expression.
Whatever lay hidden in solitude
in the deepest recess of my mind
became illuminated.
Unlike You I am shy,
dearest One.
I do not freely share the feelings of my mind,
however exceptional they may be.
You are within my mind,
listening to everything.
Deep within,
You lift me up onto Your lap.

Hw well You know this divine game!
You deceptively change near to far,
light to darkness,
meeting to separation.
You blow the fragrance of flowers to distant places,
while love leaves all attachments
and merges into infinity.
In a multitude of thoughts,
through scenarios of the imagination,
You weave a web of pain and pleasure.
O formless One,
You are so difficult to understand.
Even when I think I know You,
it appears I do not even recognise You.
To what unknown sphere
beyond the distant horizon
are You attracting me with Your love?

By what art
did You attune,
with beauty and colour,
the nectar in the flower
and the moon in the sky?
Your mental rays
spread colour after colour
upon my jewelled lamp.
There is nothing
I can call my own.
None ever came to accept my love.
You secretly whispered in my ear:
"I reside in the smiling niipa flower."
You are there
for those who have no one.
Amidst transient objects
You are the essence of all essences.
You float onwards
with a charming smile,
dissolving Yourself
in the fragrance of incense.

You filled light with divine effulgence
and poured into death
the nectar of immortality.
I have never loved You,

With the golden ornament of love
You infused my mind with melody.
In creation, preservation or ultimate dissolution,
You never fear to lose Yourself.
You remain ever active,

You came into the depths of my mind,
and immersed me in Your thought.
In a moment You removed my agony
and made me exclusively Your own.
I never deserved Your grace,
I never fulfilled Your wishes.
You came by Your own will
and allowed Yourself to be caught,
showering Your love without reason.
Within, You are the fragrance of flowers.
In life, You are the flame of all lamps.
Without You,
neither do I exist,
nor indeed, does anything else.
This essence You embedded
deep in the core of my heart.

The youngster came from the sphere of effulgence
and told,
"I shall not be deluded by falsehood.
Neither I shall cheat
nor get cheated.
To the shine of an illusive story,
I shall not fall prey anymore,
To it,
I shall not listen anymore.
All come in the hope of light,
yet get trapped in a dark noose.
Under the influence of greed,
and due to inherent defects,
all get trapped in their own web.
Each human being is part of the same family.
The pain of one is a matter of sorrow for all.
This is the supreme, absolute and true message.
I will not hesitate to sing it."

and illuminated mornings,
with melodious tunes and rhythms,
I long for You with heart and soul,
and offer unto You my whole existence.
I have nothing left to lose.
I want You in exchange for my all.
My sincerity and heartfelt song bloom within You.
I had forgotten You.
Bound by matter,
I had remained immersed in physicality.
I never probed inside,
but desired only external enjoyment.

Keeping patience,
I wanted You
in the sweetness obtained
from the churning of my mind.
O beautiful and formless One,
through constant contemplation,
I observed
that in sum,
nothing really remains.
The softness that overflows like hundreds of moonlights,
cannot be compared to hundreds of gems and pearls.
In the corner of the mind
He smiles in innumerable beautiful alliterations.
It is difficult to understand
His eternal divine and illusive game, oh brother.
As floral fragrance,
in the blue sky,
He floats with love.
As sweet sandal fragrance,
He removes distress.

You know how to love

I was sure You would come to my home.
My days passed by calling You,
and nights passed by
with tears flowing from my eyes.
Summer approached,
rains descended,
surrounding me in hope and despair.
Holding a bunch of night jasmine flowers,
I continued calling You with reverence.
In the cool pre-winter breeze
and in the cold wind of winter,
I called You.
You did not respond,
did not see me,
but came with the melody of spring.

I am offering it to You.
If You do not like it,
do not lift it up.
Do not look at it
if it does not satisfy You.
My tears and pain
are the expression of my inner voice.
Although I am but a meagre
I have great hope of attaining You.
This is probably my audacity.
If You do not want me
why did You tie me with the rope of love
by attracting me towards You?

O polestar in the dark night!
O incomparable hope to a distressed heart!
You have been my inspiration ages since.
You have been smiling from time immemorial,
in the stream of time,
as infinite One,
free from the bondages of pain and pleasure.
It is impossible to recognise You.
And to understand You,
is more arduous still.
To merging in You,
to becoming You,
there is really no alternative.

O dear One,
my eyes are thirsty,
my mind starving,
in the hope of Your vision,

Amidst restlessness,
You are my sole stability,
hidden within dense depths.
During cold and moonlit nights,

My heart thrives in restlessness for You.

for You are merged in my heart and soul.

You loved me,
even though I did not love You.
You gave me so much,
and yet, my discontented heart wanted more.
I never gave You anything,
and not even by mistake,
did I accomplish a single work of Yours.
My demand was one-sided,
in disregard of all shame and repentance.
I called You once I had fallen into distress only,
as if saving me from distress
should have been Your duty and debt repayment.
And still,
You understood my agony
and bestowed Your grace.
This debt to You,
can never be paid back.

O King of my mind,
for You I have kept my mind decorated.
O Essence of nectar,
in rhythm and melody,
I remain within You.
There is no daylight without You;
neither is there darkness (attraction) in the pupils of one's eyes.
You are the illumination of love
amidst the best and excellent-most.
Due to You,
I obtained a life full of love.
You are the Venus star
during the darkness of the night.
Today I recognised You.
O all-pervading One,
You are beyond the limitations of place and space.
You are the goal,
O beautiful One.
You perform Your divine and illusive game within
and enchant externally.
In the sweetness of Your divine game,
I remain entranced.

Your love is within my mind and in my life,
in the churned heart,
in a sphere of intimacy.
Your love is with me
in all my thoughts and actions.
I find Your love in the morning flowers,
in the pre gold,
and in the flow of water
that carries it.
Whatever I think and whatever I do not think,
on everything Your effulgence shines.
The sweetness that lies hidden in the core of my mind,
the moon that peeps through the gaps of clouds,
the shy eyes looking towards You and losing themselves,
in all this, You pull me close.

O Lord,
I see You in hundreds of forms.
I imagine You in hundreds of ideations.
You exist in the string of the viina
that charms the mind.
You enter my ear,
and with modest love,
I pull You close.
My inside and outside become one.
The distinction between what is close and what is far becomes lost.
In Your song and by Your pull,
I search You only.

You keep performing Your divine play.

what pleasure do You derive from it?
You pour honey
into the core of minds and flowers.
Yet mercilessly,
You burn hearts and deserts too.
Tell me why, in the flow of this divine game,
You have remained far away.

and yet, You went away far.
I had stayed, waiting for You
in the hope of Your arrival,
but You did not come, alas.
The song that You had created and taught me,
You did not hear it sung from my voice.
The string of the viina,
by the vibration of which You charmed the world,
You plucked.
O merciless One,
this divine play of Yours,
rushes on as heavenly stream of light.
Those who closely ideate on You,
You abandon in the fire of separation,

O Lord,
single-mindedly,
on the monochord,
playing a single melody,
I call You.
Neither accumulation of virtues,
nor skill of realisation did I possess.
Passing time absorbed in lethargy,
I remembered the pleasant memoirs of the past.
Whatever I received, I put to use,
and threaded the garland of love.
I did not ask for protection during distress
and never wanted any boon.
My only request to You is that You may put me to work,
thereby removing all my ego and agony.

Entering the floral garden,
what does the bee whisper into the ears of the flowers?
Into my mental garden, as bee,
You speak through songs.
I want to hide
but cannot do so.
I observe You on the mountaintop,
in the sky
and in dense depths.
Whatever I try to say,
lacks of confidence.
The agony of my heart's core,
its hidden pain,
floats on in Your rhythm and melody.

it is hard to understand You.

The waves danced rhythmically,
and the hope of attaining You
aroused in my heart.
The earth was brightened by the moonlight.
The sky smiled along the sandy beach.
I sat down,
forgetting my existence
and looking for You in the stream of time
immemorial.

my "I" feeling perishes.

In the mirror of my mind,

that arrival of Yours,
shines bright in my memory.
Even after attempts of ignoring You,

You came into ideation
and filled the whole world with attributes.

Churning the essence of sandal,
who are You who came at this untimely hour?
Upon Your neck lies the garland of the three-layered universe,
shining with the sweetness of absorption.
Ever restless,
extremely hard,
bound by Your own law,
You are the charming stealer of mind.
There is heavenly effulgence on Your face.
You intoxicate the world
and bring the charm of Your beauty and attributes to it.
Though You are beyond attributes,
You still express Yourself though rhythms.
O singular Shiva!
O Lord!
You never accept defeat from the foolish challenges of devils.

and became attainable in it of Your own accord.
O Gopal of my mind,
staying within my mind,
You are spread throughout the world.
By Your beauty, flow, dance and lyrics
You turn my mind restless
and make it rush unto infinity.
The hunger of the world and the heavenly nectar
become one and lose themselves in singularity.
You intoxicate my mind
by making heaven meet it.

O Lord of the seven-layered universe,
You remain ever-revered, ever-blissful!
Kissing the red lines of tender leaves,
You spread affection.
For You there is no distinction between high and low.
You own the wealth of love's heavenly effulgence.
You are the rhythmic and shining touch of subtlety,
O Divinity!
All dirt accumulated in me,
all filth lying in the recess of my mind,
vanish by Your touch,
O announcer of the universal song!

My mind longs to look at You,
but due to shyness
my eyes are unable to do so.
The most difficult obstacles come and surround me.
My thoughts are fastened to hundreds of misdeeds.
I was in the petals of flowers,
but due to insect bites,
I withered away.
I was in the honey of flowers,
but became food for the black bee.
I came in daylight,
but got covered in darkness.
Now You are my only consolation.
Come smiling, fulfilling my non-deserving aspiration.
The love of my heart,
I offer unto You in its totality.

O my most beloved,
on which dark night,
along a stream of light,
did You come?
I was like a churned creeper,
flooded with pain,
affected by drowsiness.
There was no one to see me,
to pull me close with sweet effulgence.
I had neither purpose nor endeavour.
You were single, O incomparable One!
This dark night has now moved away far,
but I have not forgotten the events of that day.
Each moment,
through the gaps of memories,
they return to my mind.

Come, pulsating in the moonlight sea,

O great One,
You are beyond speech and thought.
The vast boundaries of the universe are located within You.
You are above and beyond the time factor.
And that is why all cherish You.

My distant, yet most beloved One, calls me,
attracting me with His flute playing,
and pulling my heart,
during my gaps of thought.
I do not want to respond,
though He calls me day and night,
through unknown tunes,
in the core of heart,
and in the flowering branches of my mind.
That friend of mine is beyond the time factor.
He is sweet, unseen and beyond thought.
He is the moon to abandon oneself to,
who remains coated with the pollen of love.

During a night illuminated by the full moon
He was with me.
He was with me
like the pollen of flowers,
drifting with love and beauty,
in the sweet breeze of my mind.
The moonlit night has disappeared,
and darkness came down on me.
The pollen of flowers dried up
due to the heat of forest fires.
The colourful sketch of the colour festival
that had imprinted its mark on my cheeks,
vanished into the past.
Deprived of its beauty,
and due to ongoing negligence,
I am fallen,
like blade of grass under His feet.
When will that most beloved of mine
look at me with a smile,
casting aside all my mental dirt?

You aroused melodies
of lost lyrics and tunes.
In the depth of my mind,
in solitude and silence,
my cimmerian dark night came to an end.
I wished not to lose again
the tune that had just drifted away.
I thought and pondered
but could no more find its vibration.
In Your universe,
nothing gets ever lost;
things come and go each moment.
This essence of absolute truth,
I could not understand.
Hence my crying and weeping,
and my becoming melancholic.

Awaiting Your arrival, my days pass by.
Please tell me,
why have You not yet come?
The petals of buds that never blossomed
all withered away.
And the nectar accumulated in those flowers
no longer could subsist,
and all dried up.
The sweetness preserved for You for ages,
within stars and galaxies,
within the limits of beginning and end,
could not be poured into Your mind.
Whether You come or not,
my hope or despair.
my crying or laughter,
may bear no actual relevance to You.
Yet for me undergoing separation from You
and experiencing Your love are of crucial difference.
This fact You knowingly ignore.

along the path laden with bakul flowers!
With a garland threaded of flowers,
and which has no comparison,
I sit and await You.
Within their colourful petals,
My flowers carry honey.
In expectation of Your arrival,
my mind floats pollen-like
along the fragrance of these flowers.
I do not want anything from You.
That formless gem,
is already with me.
Searching within my mind itself,
I shall attain You,

During winter, through the soft moonlight,
You raise hope in the heart of the cakor bird.
During the intense summer heat,
You are the soothing flow of water,

During autumn, You fill with snow,

In the cold storm of winter

As a traveler oblivious of the path,
I have come.
Knowingly, I commit mistakes
and as its outcome,
I move.
I was alone,
unexpressed.
There was no duty nor action for me to perform.
There was nothing to see nor listen to.
In the momentum of movement,
from the world of effulgence,
I came to complete the work.
To me, there is neither own nor distant,
close nor far.
The bond is tight.
I came due to love
and to spread colour.
Though I've forgotten the path,
I am a traveler and I have come.
I knowingly make mistakes,
and because of those mistakes I move along.
I was completely alone, unexpressed.
There was no work or action for me to do,
nothing for me to see or listen to.
Disposed to moving from the world of light,
I came to finish the work.
To me nothing is my own,
and nothing is distant,
neither close nor far.
The bond is tight.
I came for love, to spread colour.

The sandal breeze swung by the sea bank,
in series of sweet oscillations,
and full of love,
taking along You and me.
The night was illuminated,
and drenched with the rays of the moonlight.
In the solitary depth of my mind,
only the to and fro movement of bees remained.
Without pausing even for a moment,
we floated on towards an unknown heaven.
Like an unobstructed flow of light in the clear sky,
that sweet memory floats into my mind and heart.
Though You are present everywhere,
I am still there,
letting the flower of love bloom layer by layer.

The milky way in the blue sky
appears like a line
coated with sandal paste.
My eyes are marked with ointment.
I am never alone.
My inside and outside have become one.
The peacock of my mind has spread its wings.
Opening its tail,
in sweet conversation,
it sings in an enchanting tune.
Opening the door-bolt
it has come out
from its prison house
where it had been crying.
The flower it got by Your touch -
How long will its fragrance remain?

With effulgence,
come each moment.
Come into my mental garden.
Come absorbed in sweetness.
You are my nearest and dearest,
as is the coastline to a river.
In the arbor of my heart,
groups of honeybees sing Your song.
They say Your glory never ends.
You are the divinity,
personifying as embodiment of love.
Stay with me in each breath and sound.
This is my prayer at Your feet.

He left alone,
in leafless sweetness,
spreading the wings
of sandal-coloured love.
The one I wanted
in the unlimited sky,
that swan,
I am now unable to see.
He was without limits,
full of beauty,
resonant in sweetness-absorbed flows.
The memory of that past speaks even today.
His countless movements are beyond thought.
The golden creeper of heaven
cannot be hidden by manoeuvres.

Through songs,
whispering into my ears,
You told that I should take it for granted
that You would come,
that I should ever keep "Him" in mind.
You did not come
O, stealer of mind!
See, and just think,
Your words did not materialise.
The way in which green trees burn
in the forest fire,
the way dry stones cry,
do not You ever think of them?
In what world do You remain,
forgetting all my mental agony?
From across the lane of forgetfulness,
whose life are You drawing an image of?

O effulgent One,
on which morning
did You come into my ravaged heart?
By removing the darkness,
and filling me with rhythm,
You made me forget delusion and fear.
In which unknown world You had been,
I do not know.
But I accept that You had showered grace upon the helpless.
You did not allow for pause in the mental stream
and had left.
Victory was certainly Yours!
O brother,
You brought the distant ones close.
and made the atom merge in the seven seas.
You are my single friend on the unknown path.
You are my ever companion.
O embodiment of consciousness!

An fairy came into the floral garden.
What for, who knows?
It pours honey into the flowers,
and whispers into their ears.
Floating floral fragrance from the pollen,
it disseminates it into the distant sky.
It merges the world of microcosms,
with the great vibration of the Macrocosm.
In colourful petals,
it kindles the lamp of effulgence.
It enters the mortal world
with the vibration of new light.

When He came,
stormy winds were blowing outside.
With a floral touch,
He entered my heart.
I did not recognise Him,
and did not realise
how He made me His own.
Cyclonic winds were blowing with tremendous speed.
Lightning appeared amidst stormy roars.
Arousing the song of fearlessness,
He whispered into my ears:
"In Your throat, sweetness lies absorbed."
The storm stopped
and a sweet sandal breeze came.
Even today that sweet memory remains ever shining.
He went far away,
wearing as adornment the symbol of my love,
and taking away with Him,
my internal voice.

stay ever around me!
Your sweet and succulent touch
fills everything with tenderness.
In this heavenly garden,
why remain alone?
The moonlight cries in my illuminated house.
The peacock's solitary call resounds in the depth of my mind.
None other do I have to wipe off my tears of pain.
You are the essence of the world's essences.
All want but You.

Creating the illusory universe,
in what web,
did You get entangled?
In this theatre of creation,
in this universe,
all revolve around You without pause.
There is no chance of rest.
All the fundamental factors -
ethereal, aerial, luminous, liquid and solid -
call You.
In Your ideation
the congregations of stars and heavenly bodies float,
ever kissing Your feet.
With the essence of flowers,
their surroundings are filled.
In expectation of the pollen of flowers
the honeybees come.
Is it because of counter-expectation that for them,
You came down to the world of mortals?

At the end of the ocean of darkness,
You came,
unfolding Yourself in the adornment of effulgence.
You came secretly into the recess of my mind
and made me see You in everything.
You do not expect anything from anyone.
Everything belongs to You.
Amidst the effulgence of hundreds of gems,
You radiate Your beautiful shine.
As honey of flowers,
as light of the moon,
You are the eternal companion of all,
hiding silently within this vibrant earth.

from above the mountains,
winning my mind and life?
Without telling anything,
You went away.
Why did You make me cry?
I didn't know You had been so dear to me,
so loving,
and so attractive.
I found You close,
within my heart.
Yet after kindling the lamp of my life,
You went away.
Whoever comes,
goes.

Now I know that You remain forever.

You initiated the rhythm of life,
and filled songs with language.
You filled the sky and air with hope,
and broke the delusion,
O great one!
Amidst nothingness,
You knew everything,
filling the void.
You gifted the festivity of light,
by pouring out the spirit of life.
To the unexpressed world,
You provided tunes
and filled the throats of the dumb.
The agony of non-existence was removed,
and the flood of the bliss of existence surged up.

The clouds sing amidst colours.
Such is the love of the sun.
Why did dewdrops start shining today?
The flowers do not understand
that the fragrance that appears
emanates from themselves.
It is for the glory of Him who filled them with fragrance.
This should be known.
The honey that lies today in their core,
self-selects from amongst the congregation of the world.
It is filled with His attributes.
His song is to be listened to.

You smile in the light of the moon.

You came today,
in the soft breeze,
with sweet rhythm and charming bliss.
Into the cave of my mind,
with tunes, melody and beauty,
what enchantment did You pour?
The one I have been waiting for,
that traveler, came,
overwhelming my heart.
Destroying the darkness accumulated throughout ages,
You coloured my small heart.
My waiting has been fruitful.
In the longing of my eyes,
floats Your ideation.
That which is beyond thought,
came within my reach,
came with form,
overflowing in the ocean of bliss.

He pours out from an overflowing heart.
This heart remains ever filled with the flow of love,
ever restless in the fragrance of love.
There is nothing for Him to speak out.
He is filled with inexpressible ideation.
He exists both in thought and beyond thought.
That lotus of intuition is sweet.

Tell me,
who is that who came with the rhythm of dance?
The tinkling sound of cymbals
resonated in the temple of my mind.
Whom were they worshipping?
You came into my mind with silent footsteps
and coming secretly, You remained there.
You sounded the ankle bell of silence.
You did not explain
for whom You played this divine game.
The movement of Your song was as frisky as that of a wild deer,
traversing my forest path.
In that memory my eyes bath,
smiling on the lane of my mind.

With the arrival of spring,
today, flowers bloom on each branch.
In the secret garden of my mind,
I was able to think of Him without shyness.
On my petals lay honey,
covering all shyness, fear and errors.
My long waiting was completed
and all my actions attained fruition.
I do not want Him to go out,
but keep Him held in my mind.
I fear that the King of kings
may suddenly forget me.

O dearest Lord,
You came rhythm after rhythm,
bringing down honey from the heavenly garden.
By a comparisonless touch of sandal,
my heart turned restless and fragrant.
The heavenly galaxy dances around You
with numerous beautiful adornments.
You came bringing heavenly sweetness,
and poured out insuppressible nectar.
Without You the moonlit night remains dark.
The earth is filled with Your sweetness.
Because You exist,
the world exists.
O essence of all essences,
I salute You.

With flashes after flashes,
You go on dancing.
What movement of Yours!
Is it that You knowingly create
only for the purpose of destruction?
You just unmindfully play alone
as though in stance

You do not listen to anyone.
Yet there is no one in this triple world,

Open Your eyes with a sweet smile.
Let Your charming form emerge
from the mist of the universe.

You are full of love
and yet, why do You make me weep today?
O Shameless one,
appear in my ignoble heart with rhythm and dance.
On the arrival of spring
the earth is harnessed with new decorations.
The living world is filled

O creator, please come before of me,
opening my eyes and smiling sweetly.
Appear before us with an ever-charming face.
You only know Your divine play.
O Lord of lords,

But why do You make my heart cry out for You?

in which You keep singing Your song?
In the still and dense night,
what for do You keep Your light kindled?
You are present in melody and rhythm,
during creation, sustenance and destruction.
Whimsically guiding the moving universe,
You make it dance in Your theatre.

And within what is then illuminated,
You play games of light and shade,
and trap this world in Your net.

O Lord of destruction,
Your long horn resounds
with each tune of this annihilating storm.
In the roar of intense cyclones,
meagre thoughts all vanish.
Greenness has been covered by a blanket of dust;
all soft tenderness is lost.
The bamboo grove,
devoid of its sweetness,
screams in loud lamentation.
Do no longer stay under influence of lethargy.
Do not waste Your time uselessly.
Let us move together with the blessing of Rudra,
to struggle against the anger of that same Rudra.

The flow of effulgence came down to this earth, distressed and sorrowful.
It flows through the layers of the dancing human mind.
No one is to be left with a gloomy face, distressed and sorrowful.
To burn sins,
and subside obstructions,
it moves on,
piercing the darkness with light.
Innumerable hopes of bygone ages,

combine together,

I saw a continent.
In that world,
there was no deprivation,
and no infliction of pain.
There, flowers were full of honey,
and on them, there were no thorns.
There, the moonlight flashed,
piercing through the dark night.
There, secretly, in some recess,
someone sang the song of infinity.
There, the river tides were high,
with no lowering to be observed.
There, bosoms were full of affection,
overflowing with the stream of love.
Entering that kingdom of effulgence,
I found the trace of love.

the wee bit of Your grace overflows boundlessly.
Looking upwards,
I am unable to think anything.
Through the scarf of the blue sky,
and originating from love,
the special raindrop of swati,
enters the bosom of the shell,

Nothing ever accidentally comes along,

No high nor low is permanent.
Only Your effulgence lasts.

Tell me how,
O Lord,
through prayers,
can we continue worshipping You?
Why did this perplexity arise,
while decorating the floral offering for You?
With wick and lamp,
how can Your illuminating worship be conducted?
O one beyond words and mind,
prayers won't bind You even for a single moment.
The one whom the great cosmic sky cannot hold,
for You, temples are (ironically) made.
The one who cannot be described by scriptures,
how can He come and go in idols?

the grandeur of Your love.
I had remained alone for ages,
searching for You
and calling You,
with melody and tunes.
After such long time
how was it that You finally came within my reach,
all on Your own,
and with a smile?

In the high sky above,
floats an assemblage of stars,
but down below,
the earth is restless.
In solitude I sit,
and, through the murmur of leaves,
I cry out for You.
There is no one to wipe my eyes.
No one to console me.
With choked impulse and a palpitating heart,
I can no longer bear Your divine play.
You shine like an emerald gem,
destroying the darkness in hearts.
O pardoner of mistakes!
Hundreds of times
do I bow at Your feet.
Do not make me go mad anymore.

O unknown traveler,
pause for a while,
I shall garland You.
With love and smiles,
I have decorated a fragrant floral bouquet for You.
I continue singing songs to please You;
I have rehearsed Your song with melody and rhythm.
By the attraction of love,
and with a sweetness-absorbed mind,
my mental ornament resonates.
Adoring You,
I dance in rhythm;
I am under overwhelming bliss
in the stream of nectar.
I do not want to take anything,
I only want to give my heartfelt love.
O unknown traveller,
please wait a moment.
I wish to garland You
with the fragrance of flowers.
With smiles and love,
I have decorated this garland.
I am singing songs for You,
I am trying to understand the rhythm
and melody of Your music.
My restless, complex mind mind wants to go
to Your loving, sweet vibrations.
I dance in rhythm to attract You.
In the changing world,
flowing with the river of nectar,
I don't want to take anything,
I only want to give.
Just love me and make me full of life.

O Supreme Lord,
You are the symbol of effulgence,
You are the supreme Lord.
You are the restless sandal breeze,
and You are the controller of the universe.
You call by signal from infinity
and lift unto Your lap the neglected ones.
Everything limited approaches You for shelter.
You bring the unknown close
and make the small ones big.
Continue showering Your causeless grace,

Who is that effulgent You who came
bringing the lamp of hope?
Through rhythm and melody,
You have scattered the sweetness of language.
Floating in the current of Your stream,
the sincere longing arose.
The goal was achieved by His love.
Due to whom,
does the history of infinite time unfold?
You are that worshipped embodiment of consciousness.
The flow of creation continues through diverse forms.
This universe will never be annihilated.
You shall forever continue to stay in the flow of this divine game,
O self effulgent entity!

He came into my mind
from across the ocean of darkness.
He came as fountain of effulgence.
Piercing through the wall of obstacles,
He smiled.
I did not think about it even for a moment.
I did not suppress my joy of attaining Him.
And yet, that essence of nectar came close to me.
The sorrow of non-attainment
or worrying about losing time,
are no longer,
since His love flows from above the time factor.

Tell me,
to which destination,
does the swan glide in the blue sky?
What is the ending feeling
left in that blueness?
All the stars look on in astonishment.
Abundant amounts of moonlight,
seemingly flowing into a vacuum,
smile and encourage.
The human beings of the earth
look upwards,
offering their farewell
with song after song.
The eastern hill,
with the pull of crimson colour,
longs to merge with the sky.

My days are passing by thinking of You.
In that deep contemplation,
my mind floats on towards its origin.
And yet, I never reach the shore of the terminus.
In this vast cosmic creation,
my value is just
that of one tiny drop in the huge ocean.
In spite of this,
I long for You.
And I am certain
that I will attain You.
I do not know
when the culmination of my dhyana will take place
or when You will accept me.
Neither do I know
when Your divine form will illuminate
the core of my heart.
This can only happen when You grace me.

Under this ashoka tree,
during the evening
of this month of caetra,
with or without work left pending,
I remain seated
and under the spell of delusion.
In this sweet spring month,
on a sweet sandal breeze,
the bee comes rushing about
in the hope of honey.
Engrossed in pain,
the dropped leaf cries out
with the burning sensation of separation.
The ashoka tree has dried out.
Its leaves and flowers are no longer.
The bees have left the path
and shed tears
in memory of that tree bereft of honey.

You came into the deep recess of my mind.
I had no acquisition whatsoever,
neither was I deserving,
and therefore remained humiliated.
My body was rain-drenched,
like a rainbow in the after-rain sky.
I offered all my belongings
to the song of hope and despair.
There is no one for me other than You.
I want only You,

I keep thinking about You only,

The dearest one exists within all,
and all are His own.
He cries and smiles,
taking all with Him,
as He dances within all minds.
He expresses His form each moment
as He embodies within them.
In the pulsation of all veins,
He resides as red colour.
Without considering near or far,
high or low,
or reactive momenta,
that great and most liberal entity,
simply demands the touch of love.

Why does He smile in my mind
given that I do not satisfy or please Him mentally?
During the intense sun
I play with Him

through the illumination of colourful thoughts,
by form and flow,
He allows Himself to be attained.

come still closer to me.

When the sun rose,
the awakening of consciousness had been delayed,

Into my terror-stricken life

O Lord of the heart,
in the world of songs You keep gliding,
all by Yourself -
from an origin in time immemorial,
on an infinite path,
sketched with colours -
vibrating with melody, rhythm and tunes,
spreading the sweetness of ideation.
Thoughts merge into the realm beyond thoughts,
even vibrating the nebulae.
There is no place where there is no song.
The light of life is obtained in the heart.
The fragrance of life keeps spreading,
disseminating the nectar of love.

That morning,
amidst fallen night jasmine flowers,
on the dew-washed path,
what for did the one whose name I do not know come?
The mental deer of kash colour,
rushes on, dancing in the distance.
It does not accept the bondage of time,
traversing the rocky path.
It does not pause,
nor rests for a moment.
It moves on, holding the rein.
I love You.
Due to the pull of vitality,
and bound by the rope of love,
I cry a moment and smile another.

With the moonlight drizzling into the night,
my mind remembers You.
Amidst the floating of silvery and white clouds,
swans keep singing,
uninterruptedly throughout the night.
The moonlight covers the stars.
The sky and the air are laden with nectar.
Today, due to the touch of Your love,
nobody remains alone anywhere.
Opening all the doors of my mind,
I call You in self-forgetfulness.
O leading consciousness,
opening Your eyes,
look at me with beauty and colour.

Who is that calling me in the depth of my mind?
I do not know or recognise Him.
He calls secretly through gaps of feelings.
I am unable to understand Him.
Why am I unable to?
I had been determined not respond to Your call any longer.
Whatever the call with each blink of Your eye,
whatever the glimpses of the flow of light that would peep through the windows,
I would ignore it all.
But there is no end to Your call.
It persists,
sweetened with tune, melody and rhythm.
Remaining unknown, He wins the mind.
Intellect is unable to understand Him.

blissful and with rhythm.
O most respected one in the three worlds,
You are in the eternal vibration of the mind.
Your complexion is like a brilliant white mountain.
You resonate with the grave sonorous voice of the silvery sea.
You make the dumb ones speak.
And with Your long horn You make Yourself heard by all.
You were in the past,
You are present now
and You will stay in future,
kissing and piercing through the all-auspicious symbol.
This is why I salute You hundreds of times.
You remain tied in the bond of love.

In an intensely dark night,
in a choked house,
I was sleeping all alone.
Suddenly He came,
broke my slumber and made Himself seen.
Who were You?
That slumber had kept me inert for ages.
O effulgent one,
You brought in illumination by opening my windows.
Now only light prevails,
with no trace of darkness to be found anywhere.
Into this awakened life of mine,
You pour Your sweet and affectionate love.

With rhythm and with sweet bliss,
You intimately came into my mind.
There was no witness besides You and me.
The buds of bela, camelii and campak flowers,
unfolding their petals,
expressed their welcome.
You looked at me,
opening Your eyes,
as I sat unmindfully.
The sandal breeze blew that spring.
There was no one to obstruct it.
It rushed from beginninglessness to endlessness,
singing Your song through whispers.

with rhythm and beats,
who is He who came,
intoxicating my mind?
O divinity,
I did not speak,
I did not tell You
what pain I had to endure each moment.
The shy wind wanted to know
that my singing of songs had not been useless.
With each melody,
layer by layer,
I shall bloom flowers,
pouring nectar into them.
O charm of my love and entertainer,
I look at You with enchanted eyes,
and I hope for You,
full of impulse.
In the firmament of my heart,
I await You with kindled light.

Flowing in the stream of light,
rushing in the soft breeze,
O who is that traveler,
that keeps on singing songs?
You never heed any obstruction,
You are never stopped by anything.
You do not know anything other than love.
Towards what are You moving?
There is no fear, hatred and shyness in You.
Hence You are foremost,
encompassing the whole world.
There is no beginning, middle or end of Yours.
We cannot hold You by praise and language.
Speechlessly, I thus wonder
what (on earth) I should offer that would satisfy You.

The bondage of attachments is broken.

You appeared,
but I did not tell You

With boundless love You told me
that I had belonged to You from time immemorial.
You said,
"Have you forgotten that since innumerable, hundreds of eras,
You have been moving with me,
as unknown, beatless one.
I have ever remained together with you,
but you did not ever recognise me."
I replied,
"That was my fault,
I had no consciousness to observe You."

for You I will do everything,
even should You bring thunder, storms or meteorites.
By Your name I came to the path
and became enchanted by Your softly golden being.
By Your song,
I coloured my mind.
I know that You are a unique entity.
In the summer heat or in the intense winter,
in the shade of a tree or in the desert,
in the lightless dark well,
provide me with strength.
I shall do everything for You, my Lord.
If You throw a thunder,
if a cyclone appears,
if there comes lightning from the sky,
I will do everything and anything for You.
I have come to the real path by Your name.
I am overawed by Your golden shrine.
I coloured my mind with Your song.
I know that there is only one You.
In the heat of the sun,
in cold weather,
in the shadow of tress,
in the desert,
in the deep whole where no light enters,
I will be waiting for Your help.

You are covered with heavenly sweetness.
You stay close filling the mind,
yet You are not seen.
You exist in the depth of the ocean,
yet You sing Your song in the tune of the blue sky.
You keep everyone tied with the rope of love.
No one is alone.
None can leave You.
By philosophy and science,
You are not to be attained.
Ever since time immemorial You have been the only sadhana.
Abandoning You is impossible.

For You my tears flow,
for You I have threaded this garland.
Then O divinity,
tell me why do not You speak
and understand the agony of my mind?
You float upwards,
on the chariot of light,
and into the stream of ideation.
You do not come into the pupil of my eyes.
You do not understand my restlessness.
You exist secretly in the recess of my mind
and in the depth of my heart.
You appear in the depths and pores of darkness
as the well rehearsed tune of a lost song.

O merciless one,
listen to just one matter of mine.
Why do You give my mind so much agony every single moment?
In which past,
deluding me in Your liila (divine game),
and ignoring my wellbeing,
did You provide me with a mind?
Due to that negligence,
storms blow in my mind each moment.
If I had no mind,
I would not desire anything.
By giving me a mind,
You gave me bondage.
Why have You forgotten this debt of Yours?

O dearest, indescribable one,
even in dream,
Your sweet smile and charming flute
are beyond imagination.
To attain You,
I perform worships.
All my sadhana is directed at You.
By Your beauty and colours,
I beautify this earth with diverse hues.
The world is full of Your love.
With You as objective, songs emerge.
Your love is ever sweetness radiating.
You are beyond intuition,
O most adorable one.

O Lord,
do not forget me.
There is no harm in You not loving me,
but do not wipe me from Your mind.
I am not a thorn on Your path.
I simply lie beside the path,
with tear-filled eyes consoling my mind.
I do not have a past full of glory.
I do not find the fragrance of flowers in my heart.
But I still love You,
and smile amidst hundreds of agonies.
Just do not abandon me please.

Who is that effulgent entity
that came on such a pitch dark night?
Do not remain unthinkable,
as eyes cannot perceive You.
After undergoing penances for innumerable eras,
You came tonight.
By the bright ideation of mind,
You arose and expressed Yourself,
O embodiment of song.
With opened eyes,
I see that You are with me.
O embodiment of consciousness,
to each era,
You bring the illuminating light of Your lamp.

full of sandal fragrance,
and removing the fog?
Who is that You,
oozing sweetness,
intoxicating my mind with honey
and kindling light?
You are the sandal breeze in touch,
the appearance of love in my eyes,
the smiling spring in beauty,
the one to lose oneself in in ideation.
You are immeasurable bliss,
kissing unseen effulgence.
You filled my inner arena,
and flooded my heart.

O beautiful eyed one,
listen,
there is no end to imagination and ideation,
whatever creation You may come up with.
From beyond the dark ocean,
the waves of Your song enter the stream
with tune, rhythm and melody.
There is no end to it,
whatever counting You may try to perform.
Holding the flow of effulgence,
on a path of unknown origin,
Your song floats on with a fainting twang.
Who can terminate all that?
Tell me.
Such an end can never be thought of.

Below this blooming bakul tree,
You came.
From within the depth of my mind,
in isolation from everything else,
You opened all my doors.
I was all alone covered in dark inertia,
keeping away the ray of light.
In the infinite sky
decorations of light abounded
but inside my mind
lay cimmerian darkness.
You came close,
kindled my lamp
and unified my inside and outside.

O divinity of the far sky,
what for did You come to this earth?
To the heart,
You brought heavenly sweetness,
pouring it all into it.
You never expect anything.
You never love anyone out of selfishness.
Bestowing Your causeless grace to all,
You ever continue dancing.
As shelter of all,
You do not have any base.
By Your touch,
You happily destroy the darkness.
Playing Your momentary illusive game,
You lie hidden within the mind each and every moment.

The sky calls through the gaps of clouds,
the air calls by staying damp.
In the cloud-filled sky of the rainy and flood month of bhadra,
shiuli flowers drop onto the path.
My mind does not stay at home any more.
An unknown entity has maddened it.
There is no obstruction left in speaking out.
My inner core breaks all obstacles.
Inside my mind lies sweetness,
but the traveler who brought it is not close by.
From His hiding place He calls me,
but I do not know from where.

O Lord of all places of pilgrimage
and destroyer of all darkness.
The first time Your light entered my home,
enchanting my mind,
that day, all my good and bad merged into You.
There is nothing outside of You.
But even staying within,

After remembering You,

And yet, I still love You.

O merciless one,
Your love remains mixed with tears.
I want You with a smiling face,
but by flowing the river of separation,
You make me cry.
You never allow that which is easily obtainable
to be attained easily.
You move along a curved path,
like the continuous up and down movement of the wind.
I had thought that by moving along a straight path,
in this illusive world,
I would merge in You instantaneously.
Is it due to that fear
that You created such a law?

Light exists because You exist.

The swan keeps gliding with dancing wings,
and neither is it without a nest.
All survive due to Your effort,
by holding You in their heart.

Come into the world with each song that is heard.
Come with each pious sound.
Come in meditation.
Come with cosmic sound.
Come in the oscillating wind.
There is nothing left to say,
whatever is being thought
is really what the mind desires.
By Your impulse,
I sing songs remembering You.
You are the sweet essence,
O dearest,
like a white wave in the stream of nectar.
Destroy these accumulated sins of mine,
and come into the secluded shade of my core.

The light came, the flower smiled.
By Your morning footsteps, life awoke.
Due to the impact of that light,
honey was poured into the bud
that due to shyness
had remained covered for such a long time.
Your heavenly song resonated in each melody,
previously buried in darkness.
The fact that no one had spoken for such a long time,
the agony that had never been expressed through any mouth,
the history that had never been written down,
all these attained form,
(blooming) as do flowers and (ripening) as do fruits.

by red palash flowers,
who came deluding it
and intoxicating my life with melodies and rhythms?
My mind does not want to see You,
yet, still it loves You.
Why love the unknown one,
with what expectation and so untimely?
Kissing the core of my mind,
You cannot be caught or bound.
Suddenly and individually,
why did You appear to me from within that light?

and I have forgotten
how many ages since.
At the coast of my mental quarry,
I thread a garland of gems
with the rays of the sun light.
That singular entity existing in the world
knows all minds.
The stars surround that singular effulgent entity.
And all love Him from the core of their heart.
It is due to His existence
that all are surviving,
tied to the thread of His love.
By the melody of His song,
and with the essence of nectar,
every so often,
all are being charmed.

You were with me face to face
but turned around and hid Yourself.
Have You forgotten me?
What is this divine game with my heart?
Why did the soft 'You' become hard?
You were in the form of honey,
placidly residing in the core of the flower,
but became burning like lightning and thunder.
With the thunderous expression of dismay
and with a frightening roar,
Your affection vanished
and the pollen became stone.
I have known now Your introduction.
Your work is not pertaining to hardness.
You will become soft and sweetness-filled again.
Smile in the core of my heart with melody and rhythm.

The bee hums around the flower,
while my mind dances on for You.
My restless heart passionately tells about Your glories.
Today my mind wants to break all bondages,
and forever do only Your work.
It has shed away all fears and shyness

He who knows You,

He who does not know You,

You move on dancing rhythmically.

There is none equivalent to You.
You are endless, unlimited and infinite.
Attaining You takes place by struggling against obstacles only.

Lifting the greenness of young grass with both Your hands,

You keep pouring Your blessings on the distressed ones

Forever together,

By Your song, limits dissolve into the unlimited.
Your principled path is the cherished desire of all,

O Lord,
by Your blessing
I move forward,
holding on to Your path.
There is nothing I can call my own.
And not even "I" can I say to myself.
Intoxicated with pride,
I had kept my mind away from You.
But when I looked inside my heart,
I found You surrounding it.
I possessed self-esteem and glory,
and enhancing its periphery,
my darkness kept spreading,
both in my inside and my outside.

My world is concerned with You only,
You are there and that is why I exist.
Besides You, everything else is non-essence, O Lord,
I know You as the essence of all essences.
The series of waves that come into my mind
dissolve in my mind itself.
My coming and going,
my wishing and obtaining,
I create around You only.
O central gem and nucleus of the cycle of creation,
I know You to have the effulgence of millions of suns.
I accept You alone.
I ever sing Your song.

The bee came humming into my garden.
I am a flower in that garden.
Just look,
and tell me why that bee came.
In my mind, honey overflows in abundance.
This is why nearby and around it the bee hovers.
The rays of the sun and the light of the moon,
fill my petals with colour.
Colouring and consoling my mind with that colour,
the bee left.

I am unable to forget You,
You are my sadhana.
Can a particle in the light ray survive,
leaving the ray? Tell me.
Like a fish in the water
and snow without its cold,
the movement of my flow depends on You.
I was within You,
I now exist within You,
I will be dissolved within You,
by the gift of Your mercy.
O Lord,
do whatever You want.
My only solicitation is that You do not forget me.
O Lord of the universe,
do not discard anyone.

O divinity,
why is Your love is a tear-filled one?
Why does Your coming and going remain unknown
and why does Your message stay hidden?
You are not to be realised by philosophy and science.
Requests and prayers do not convey what You really want.
You come by the attraction of love only.
And with what sweetness!
You do not pay heed to pride
and do away with the defect of choice.
You stay in simple love,
and bestow the sweetness of affection.
Please do understand this restlessness of mine.

If into my life a hurricane should come,
then provide me with strength to struggle against it.
While walking on Your path,
don't let me fall prey to the staticity of darkness.
Colour my mind with Your colour
during both pleasure and pain.
On the journey towards effulgence,
and in my forward movement,
grant me courage to execute Your work
and blessings to overcome my fears.

The colourful fairy,
while flying away,
said,
"Come with me.
But do not ask which is my country
or where this journey ends.
My flying started
the moment I opened my eyes,
Along the path of the flow of light,
at the never-ending call of the infinite,
have I been flying.
I move forward,
my flying never ends.
I understand pain of all
and the solicitude of humanity.
I want to take all with me.
This has been my spiritual practice since time immemorial."
The colourful fairy flew, saying:
"Why don't You come with me?
Where is my country, where is my home?
Don't ask me this!
I started flying since I opened my eyes.
In the path of light and in the unending call of the Infinite
I move forward.
My flight has no end.
I understand the pain of all and the lamentation of the mind.
I want to take all with me.
This is the only desire of the eternal time."

Whispering into my ears,
You told me the facts.
You activated my heart
that had bent low
due to the heavy load of sorrows.
There was no one to understand my pain.
No one had time to listen to me.
No one looked at me with a graceful look.
All had left, ignoring me.
You came silently and in isolation,
and spoke to me with a happy mind,
"You are not alone on this earth,
I am with you, heart to heart."

Awakening my mental bee,
my dear one came to my home.
I had nothing in my hut
to welcome Him
and to offer Him.
I had not expected that He would come
and make colourful, my ray of hope.
I had not expected that,
giving the honey of the heart,
with both His hands,
He would smile, full of love.
The touch-gem beyond hope,
came to break the bondage I was trapped in.
I did not hear any footstep sound.
He came illuminating me with surprise.

You are the nectar surrounded by hope.
I constantly look towards You.
Invoking the song that would attain You,
I have been rehearsing its melody.
You have been my beloved
since time immemorial,
worth worshipping with heart and soul.
You have filled with beauty and colour
whatever song I sing.
Without You there is no light,
and nothing good on this earth.
You kindle the light of love.
This fact I understand from the core of my heart.

O dear,
You went away whispering into my ears
that You would come here again.
I told that,
singing songs for You,
I would pass the dark night.
Yet, thereafter how many ages passed?
How many stars set down?
How many tender leaves matured and dropped,
waiting for Your advent?
Why do You forget the promise that You had given?
Why are You unable to listen to the call of my core?
Whatever logic and reasoning You may show,
You cannot forget me.

Having kindled my lamp,
I depart to a far-distant place.
Looking at my light,
please remember me.
I float on along melodies and rhythms,
mixing my love with Your song.
I tune the strings of my viina to the musical octave.
But I do not know
whether the melody I play is set right or not.
Tell me whether this melody is known or unknown.
This much only I had wanted to ask You.
O king of songs,
emperor of melodies,
You are grandeur,
with Your own glory.
O controller of the world,
You are great in wealth.
And with Your effulgence,
the earth overflows.

You make me float in tears.
Yet, in the corners of my eyes,
You sweetly smile.
What an illusive game of Yours is this?
What a cruel play!
And still You say You love me.
What undulating love,
sometimes pleasing,
sometimes sorrowful.
One moment You go,
one moment,
into the canopy of my mind,
and with the touch of a flower,
You come.
I cannot stay without You.
The honey of my mind would wither away.
Remembering You with restless vitality,
why does Your dance appear in my core?
