Today, what does the bamboo grove say,<br />
in the agony of its loss of leaves?<br />
In speechless silence it gazes on.<br />
Today, what does the bamboo grove say?<br />
In the storms of dust it lost its green beauty.<br />
In the cane and kadamba groves,<br />
the sweet spring breeze no longer blows.<br />
O awesome Lord, what is this play of Yours?<br />
This scorching fire? This heartless sport?<br />
The skylark sings in this desert thirst:<br />
"How far off is the sweet melody of rain?"<br />

In the northeast the clouds have gathered<br />
and a strong breeze is blowing<br />
today violent storms have come.<br />
Closing their window in fear of the thunder,<br />
all are sitting indoors,<br />
listening to the dance of the rain.<br />
So many precious trees have been uprooted<br />
and windswept fruits have fallen.<br />
Loosing their nests in tempests and hailstorms,<br />
the birds are weeping.<br />
Just at midday, in the form of thunder,<br />
the awesome Lord dances His wild dances<br />
and ships at sea, in fear and dread,<br />
toss and roll on the crests of waves.<br />

You are Vaesha'ka*, the son of the Visha'kha star**.<br />
You have come with the fiery resplendence of Bhaerava***.<br />
On this earth each and every atom<br />
You have filled with a flash of effulgence.<br />
After the dust storms, all is now pale<br />
and the green field's beauty has disappeared.<br />
In the dry hot fields, in the withered grass,<br />
You have imprinted the identity of the season.<br />
You have come with the resplendence of Bhaerava.<br />
The flow of the river has dwindled<br />
and stars are floating in the cloudless night.<br />
He whose divine sport is the cause of all<br />
has come in summer in a special form.<br />
* the summer month<br />
** the most prominent star in the summer season<br />
*** Shiva's son, a great Tantric personality<br />

At dawn, piercing with the peacock's call<br />
who are You who came in Your ankle bells,<br />
jingling sweetly like a hundred lyres,<br />
adorning Your body with the lustre of clouds?<br />
The palm trees today have dressed in new garments,<br />
a gentle breeze spreads the pollen of screw pine flowers<br />
and drifts towards the distant azure sky.<br />
Today the frogs are croaking in joy<br />
and the jasmine flowers are whispering secrets<br />
while the blushing kaminii flowers are shedding their fragrance<br />
and glance at You, again and again.<br />

On a rainy night You came<br />
in the garden of tuberoses.<br />
Locking myself in,<br />
alone with wounded feelings,<br />
I sat in a corner of my small house<br />
when You came in the garden of tuberoses.<br />
Storm after storm howled,<br />
pounding and dashing again and again.<br />
Yet, the whole night You kept awake<br />
with Your symphony in the garden of tuberoses.<br />
The rains were pouring in torrential gusts,<br />
sweeping and blowing in gale after gale.<br />
Yet the whole night You kept awake,<br />
drawn by the pull of love<br />
in the garden of tuberoses.<br />
In the stormy night You came<br />
in the garden of tuberoses.<br />
Unmindfully, I sat in my small closed room<br />
and only the tuberoses knew You had come.<br />

In the bower of begonia flowers,<br />
the rains have come,<br />
dancing and dancing in the fields of cane.<br />
All the peacocks have started<br />
prancing in rhythm.<br />
In the deep, vibrant sounds from the lyres,<br />
the world without rhythm<br />
has found new life.<br />
The fragrance of jasmine<br />
floats in the wet air;<br />
the pollen of the mind smiles<br />
in sweetest love.<br />

In these rainy days, together with all<br />
let us move forward in concert.<br />
If You do not want to move ahead,<br />
then lie down and tell tales of fallen leaves.<br />
Today, all are intoxicated with joyful rhythm.<br />
With the piercing sound in the throats of peacocks,<br />
this blushing earth dances along.<br />
Its verdant beauty enchants the mind.<br />
The people are full of gleeful mirth.<br />
In all directions the restless wind blows.<br />
With banter and festivity, songs and delight,<br />
let us fill the lives of all.<br />
Let us move forward together, in concert.<br />

The rains have come, and hope has returned.<br />
The skylark's thirst is quenched.<br />
The once parched grasses,<br />
in verdant new beauty, carpet the earth.<br />
The rains are pattering on the ground,<br />
as if heavenly nectar was dripping down.<br />
The lost sweetness has returned to the trees<br />
and all the creatures have found new life.<br />
Let us rush today towards our goal supreme,<br />
with full throated songs, with indomitable spirit.<br />
Now, there is no time to look back or sleep.<br />

The green seedlings of paddy are withering<br />
in the scorching heat of the sun.<br />
There is not a drop of water,<br />
not a single drop.<br />
The orange blossoms are not yet filled with nectar,<br />
the custard apple blossoms<br />
have not yet become fruits.<br />
The pomelo flowers are not intoxicated with fragrance;<br />
from this cruel drought we want relief.<br />
The kadamba blossoms have all dropped off,<br />

In this fiery heat the earth is scorched.<br />
Where shall we find the freshness of rain?<br />

In the autumn dawn on my one stringed lute,<br />
in the fragrance of the night jasmine,<br />
my mind is intoxicated with song.<br />
In the sweet, gentle breeze,<br />
on this earth, wet with dew,<br />
in dance and rhythm, the world rushes along.<br />
In the fragrance of the night jasmine<br />
my mind is intoxicated with song.<br />
Even the clouds are not forbidden<br />
to move along the path of light.<br />
Unfolding their wings,<br />
the birds soar in the sky.<br />
In this atmosphere of freedom,<br />
there is a new touch of joy.<br />
O where floats my overflowing heart?<br />
In the fragrance of the night jasmine,<br />
my mind is intoxicated with song.<br />
Today, the flood of the river has receded<br />
and the emerged lands are wearing new garments,<br />
sweet and charming garments.<br />
From this earth and the realms above,<br />
who are You who has come so near,<br />
within the embrace of all?<br />
In the fragrance of the night jasmine,<br />
my mind is intoxicated with song.<br />

In the autumn morning I have treaded<br />
a garland of night jasmine flowers washed in dewdrops.<br />
With this desire alone, I have come.<br />
I have threaded a garland of night jasmine flowers<br />
when the white clouds were floating in the sky above,<br />
as if covered with honey.<br />
The smiling lilies and loti<br />
swayed with fragrant bliss.<br />
Sitting in that atmosphere, intoxicated with joy,<br />
I threaded a garland for You.<br />
But my garlands are not simply woven<br />
by picking up fallen flowers,<br />
for, mingled with each petal,<br />
is a song of compassion and the love of the dawn.<br />
The whole morning, neglecting all my work,<br />
I have brought this garlands for You.<br />
With a gentle laugh, with a heart full of love.<br />

O traveler,<br />
You came all alone<br />
at the end of the night<br />
when the jasmine flowers fell.<br />
Seeing my door closed,<br />
You stood by the wayside.<br />
My eyes were half closed in sleep,<br />
some things I could see,<br />
and some things I could not.<br />
Then, You went away at dawn,<br />
wet with mist at the end of night,<br />
floating in the infinite void.<br />
The jasmine creeper at my door<br />
still carries the message of Your arrival.<br />
Removing its drops of dew,<br />
it remains awake, ever waiting for You.<br />
If at that time I had opened my door<br />
and whispered a word in Your ear,<br />
on that autumn midnight,<br />
I would have floated aloft<br />
and mingled myself in Your melody.<br />
-------------------------------------<br />
O Traveler, You came alone at dawn.<br />
When You arrived,<br />
the shiuli flowers fell to the ground.<br />
Finding my door closed,<br />
You remained standing by the roadside.<br />
My eyes were sleepy,<br />
Some things I could see, some things not.<br />
Then You left in the dew drenched dawn,<br />
disappearing into the formless.<br />
The jasmine creeper at my door<br />
still carries Your message.<br />
As the morning dew disappears,<br />
remains in me the hope of Your return.<br />
If my door had been open,<br />
I could have spoken to You<br />
and merged myself in the flow of Your melody.<br />

stepping in cadence of dance.<br />
With stately rhythm,<br />

One rotation is complete.<br />
The days flow on,<br />
the year passes by.<br />
How many flowers have dropped down?<br />
How many fruits have fallen?<br />
The year passes by.<br />
With what warmth did we sing our rhythmic songs!<br />
With what pain did we cry a flow of tears!<br />
The year was mingled with my life,<br />
and now, today, it is gone,<br />
into oblivion it flows.<br />
Those who come,<br />
go to depart<br />
and those who depart,<br />
go to return.<br />
Those who float into the distant blue sky,<br />
will return in newer and newer forms.<br />
The year passes by.<br />

One rotation of six seasons is complete.<br />
The days flowed on, the year passed by.<br />
How many flowers have faded away?<br />
How many fruits have fallen off?<br />
The year passes by.<br />
With what agony and flowing tears<br />
the year has mingled with my life!<br />
Today it is gone,<br />
into oblivion it flows.<br />
Those who come, come to depart.<br />
And those who depart, go to return.<br />
Those who float into the distant blue sky,<br />

The year passed by, one rotation is complete.<br />

You are like a black ribbon,<br />

black merged into black.<br />
You are in my cosmetic mark,<br />
in the collyrium of my eyes.<br />
You are so close, yet I cannot see You!<br />
Why this unique sport,<br />
why this game of hide and seek?<br />
I do not understand.<br />
My happiness knows no bounds;<br />
I feel You so close.<br />
I am always afraid lest I may lose You.<br />
Why I am afraid, I do not know.<br />
The more I decide not to worry,<br />
The more and more I worry.<br />
Why I worry, I do not know.<br />
For ages You have kept me awake,<br />
lightning the flame of my life,<br />
unfolding the wings of my mind.<br />
Come and stand before me, smiling,<br />
with Your gentle steps, on Your rosy feet.<br />
You are like a black ribbon,<br />
mingled in my braids,<br />
mingled in the black mole on my cheek,<br />
mingled in every pore of my life.<br />

Give me strength,<br />
O Lord, give me strength!<br />
I want to remove all my bondages.<br />
Give me melody, still more melody,<br />
so that I may always sing Your songs.<br />
In the hopes and despairs of gain and loss,<br />
let my mind never be involved.<br />
In Your vast cosmic vibration,<br />
let me create at least a tiny star.<br />
Let me merge myself in Your work.<br />
Let me merge myself, O Lord.<br />
Creating just a tiny star.<br />
Let me merge myself in Your work.,<br />
creating just a tiny star.<br />
Let me merge myself in Your work.<br />
In the monotony of life,<br />
my mind refuses to remain.<br />
It wants to flow in the nectar of melody.<br />
In the world there are countless flows.<br />
Give me strength, O Lord.<br />
Give me strength.<br />
I want to break all bondages of attachment.<br />
Give me melody, still more melody,<br />
so that I may always sing Your songs.<br />

O Lord,<br />
You came from beyond the valley of darkness.<br />
For aeons, I had been waiting for You,<br />
night and day, night and day.<br />
How many days passed by?<br />
How many stars vanished from the skies?<br />
Yet, I remained awake, waiting for Your advent.<br />
Finally, You came to me on a blissful night<br />
and fulfilled all my hopes,<br />
with Your refulgent splendour.<br />

I have seem Him in the mirror of my mind.<br />
In the tranquil air and intoxicating fragrance,<br />
with eyes filled with wonder,<br />
I have seen Him on the banks of the stream.<br />
From the invisible land the flower pollen drifts off<br />
and to the invisible land it returns.<br />
The peacock of my mind<br />
sways through the blue sky,<br />
and spreads out its fanlike tail.<br />
On a moonlit night,<br />
on a solitary path,<br />
my heart, overflowing with love,<br />
keeps dancing around Him.<br />

today appeared in my dream.<br />
I secretly glanced at Him in the rainbow coloured sky.<br />
With the sweet jingling of ankle bells,<br />
in pleasant, delightful contemplation of Him,<br />
I have understood that He,<br />
the unknown one, was residing in my eyes.<br />
I learned everything about Him.<br />
And yet, I now realise how little I really know about Him.<br />

Piercing the veil of darkness,<br />
the waves of light keep rushing towards the unlimited.<br />
Sending forth a clarion call,<br />
He goes His way,<br />
and, vibrating all, He moves on.<br />
The tender buds of minds dance in His rhythm.<br />
The peacocks of the mind<br />
and the dancing nightingales,<br />
pray for His grace.<br />
With tremendous speed,<br />
in emotional surcharge,<br />
He attracts all towards Himself.<br />

The dust particles of the holy feet of the supreme father<br />
lie scattered throughout the universe.<br />
They lie embedded in its every pore.<br />
In the minds of all, in every atom,<br />
He resides,<br />
hiding from all.<br />
However much we may look for Him outside,<br />
we never see Him in the outer world.<br />
When we realise both inside and outside as one,<br />
we see Him everywhere.<br />
We attain Him in love,<br />
in devotion,<br />
and in the resonance of life.<br />

Alas, forgetting You,<br />
I was moving on a wrong path.<br />

many evenings had come and gone,<br />

In the day I floated the boat of songs<br />
into the distant sky,<br />
hoping that in the night<br />
You might stay with me.<br />
In the dance of waves a rhythm arose<br />
and vibrated my mind.<br />
You went to a distant land,<br />
leaving me with only Your footprints.<br />
Today, mentally and physically,<br />
let me sail that fragrant flower boat<br />
to the melody of the glittering stars above.<br />

I have longed for You.<br />
I prayed for Your image<br />
to forever remain<br />
majestically deep in my heart.<br />
I came into the world to engage myself in Your work.<br />
I came into the world to drift in thoughts of You.<br />
Let Your melody reverberate my mind.<br />
Let me proclaim to the world the glories of Your grace.<br />
Under the starts and moon,<br />
in the still and silent night,<br />
let the prancing peacock of my mind fan its tail.<br />

What for You descended upon this dusty earth,<br />

I concede defeat to the aroma of the gardenia.<br />
Instead of diving within,<br />
I am moving about externally.<br />
I did not respect Your advice.<br />
All pains embedded in the cave of my heart,<br />

You gave melody to music.<br />
You vibrated the universe<br />
with the ocean of light's surging waves.<br />
In the silent moonlit midnight,<br />
You sung songs of spiritual awakening.<br />
Into the caverns of Cimmerian darkness,<br />
You poured new light.<br />
You are everywhere.<br />
You exist in every age.<br />
You were in the past<br />

You lead everyone far beyond<br />

come graciously into the temple of my mind.<br />

Come from the world of formlessness<br />

Come and sit close to me.<br />

the burning lamp of my life.<br />

rushes towards the path of His arrival.<br />
Why, why, why is He so far?<br />
Whoever knows why, tell me!<br />
I am intoxicated by His ideation,<br />
unable to forget.<br />
In this lonely moonlit night,<br />
I am dying from pangs of separation.<br />
Into my ears, the honeybee whispers<br />
melodious songs of optimism.<br />

The lost melody of the beginning of my life<br />
still sing its song in my heart.<br />
It is full of colours and forms,<br />
yet, due to shyness,<br />
I do not sing it publicly.<br />
O Brother, remove this shyness,<br />
allow the bud of my mind to bloom.<br />
By Your divine sport and illusory action,<br />
make it bloom charmingly and beautifully.<br />
The bud of my mind is covered with leaves.<br />
It tries to peep out through the gaps between these leaves.<br />
Today, forgetting all shyness and fears, I move forward!<br />
I move ahead,<br />
from the colourful earth,<br />
towards the realm of formlessness.<br />

O Companion,<br />
come into my small heart.<br />
I have been waiting for You<br />
for eras and eras.<br />
Onto Your path, I have been looking.<br />
Even though I know You exist everywhere,<br />
I nevertheless pose as ignorant.<br />
In ideas, You come and go.<br />
Yet, I consider You limited within space.<br />
No matter what I think,<br />
by Your pull, I lose myself in You.<br />
Spread Your effulgence on my mental screen.<br />
Play on Your lyre the enchanting cha'ya'nat' tune.<br />
Stay, O my Companion, with a smile of sweetness.<br />
I eagerly await You,<br />
merging my rhythm into Yours.<br />
__________________________<br />
Come, my friend, into my little heart.<br />
I have been waiting for Your arrival for eras and eras.<br />
I know that You are everywhere,<br />
yet, I do not realise it.<br />
You come and go and I mistake You<br />
as an entity of this relative world.<br />
Whatever I may think of,<br />
You pull my mind<br />
and let it merge in You.<br />
Spread Your effulgence<br />
in the lamp of my mind.<br />
Play Your viina' in the cha'ya'nat' raginii.<br />
Take Your seat, my dearest friend,<br />
with a charming smile.<br />
I have remained awake,<br />
waiting for You for ages,<br />
merging my rhythm into Yours.<br />

The flowers are covered with a veil of shyness;<br />
fill sweetness into their heart.<br />

flowers will bloom on dry branches<br />
and the dumb will speak.<br />

hoping to attain You,<br />
my eyes are devoid of sleep.<br />
Keeping pace with Your rhythm,<br />
every moment just fades away.<br />
My mind gets pulled towards mean thoughts,<br />
it lingers on over colourful, intoxicating enactments.<br />
Dancingly moving in Your flow,<br />
provide me strength day and night.<br />
Even if You should bring thunderbolts and meteors,<br />
continue granting me strength to face them.<br />

Your eternal song<br />
keeps my eyes wide awake at all times.<br />
Through a flow of melodies,<br />
day and night,<br />
I keep on searching You in the recesses of my heart.<br />
The morning sun's crimson glow<br />
fills vitality into each particle.<br />
The colourful form of the evening sun<br />
awakens within me a new consciousness.<br />
What a divine game of Yours is this,<br />
providing evernew experiences?<br />
An impression of love has filled my mind<br />
and marked my life.<br />
In the physical and psychic worlds,<br />
all adore You in deepest contemplation.<br />
___________________________________<br />
In Your songs,<br />
I always keep my mind's eye awake,<br />
my Beloved Friend.<br />
Through the stream of Your melody,<br />
day and night,<br />
I find You in the core of my heart.<br />
In the red luster of the crimson dawn,<br />
my heart is filled up to the brim.<br />
The colourful picture of the evening sun<br />
awakens within me a new consciousness.<br />
What kind of play (Liila) is this?<br />
Ever new feelings, draw lines of love<br />
in my mind and in my heart.<br />
The people of heaven and the people of the<br />
earth welcome You in their dhyana.<br />

My companion told me He would return<br />
and then left.<br />
But He did not return till today.<br />
With jingling lyre strings,<br />
He told me to abandon the crooked path<br />
and search for the straight path.<br />
Yet, I wandered about endlessly<br />
forgetting the Supreme Desideratum.<br />
I did not move on that illuminated straight path<br />
in the first place.<br />
Attachments prompted and pulled me.<br />
I forgot the essence of the instruction conveyed to me<br />
to search the truth.<br />
Today light shines forth from all sides<br />
telling me to closely remain on the right path.<br />

forms and flows.<br />
Intellectual brilliance, sweet charms;<br />
You have offered more than I wanted.<br />
Pray, only give me the right to say this much:<br />
that I have always held You in my bossom.<br />

All the nectar of my mind, I pour out unto You.<br />

many untold dialogues had been left pending.<br />
Why do thousands of thorns reside in floral gardens?<br />
Why does the stream follow a rugged path?<br />
Why does the lotus blooms in dirty, stinking water?<br />
Why does a dark path appear on this joyful earth?<br />
On this creation,<br />
anointed with colourful dreams<br />
of love and affection<br />
why does the shadow of destruction dance?<br />
Why do ego and pride forcefully<br />
need to learn to surrender unto Your feet?<br />

On a still night,<br />
I am yet to convey many unspoken things to You.<br />
Why are there countless thorns in a rose garden?<br />
Why do streams flow along rugged paths?<br />
Why does the lotus, full of fragrance bloom in turbid waters?<br />
Why does the earth, full of smiles, revolve in a dreary orbit?<br />
Why does the shadow of death dance over the entire creation,<br />
bubbling with love, compassion and colourful dreams?<br />
Why do pride and vanity abjectly surrender to Your feet?<br />

When You came I became lost in You.<br />
I cannot forget that incidence.<br />
Your sweet attraction and charm,<br />
rhythmically swayed on to and fro.<br />
By diving deeply into the ocean of forms,<br />
I found the formless jewel.<br />
Like a beggar who, in his imagination,<br />
puts on a royal crown,<br />
so I, likewise, by singing Your name,<br />
become absorbed in Your ideation.<br />
Through concentration and meditation,<br />
day and night,<br />
my spiritual effort finds fulfilment.<br />

O, Na'rada! Listen:<br />
I can be cured from this illness,<br />
if I can get the dust from the feet of my devotee.<br />
In the part of the world where those devotees still hide<br />
watch secretly!<br />
Na'rada:<br />
What to do?<br />
No one is ready to give the dust from their feet for Krs'n'a!<br />
Everyone is telling me,<br />
"We don't want to hear those words of sin!"<br />
O, my dear devotees of Vraja,<br />
can you please tell me<br />
where I should go to save Krs'n'a?<br />
Being afraid of incurring sin,<br />
nobody is ready to give the dust of their feet<br />
in this critical situation.<br />

O great saint,<br />
We don't know whether we are devotees or not<br />
we have never heard this word.<br />
Without any fear of sin and with courage,<br />
we are giving the dust of our feet to cure our Krs'n'a.<br />

Krs'n'a:<br />
O Na'rada, listen, this pain of mine<br />
can be eliminated only by the feetdust of my devotees.<br />
Go to different corners of the world and observe secretly,<br />
such devotees are hiding even today.<br />
Na'rada:<br />
What a pitiable condition,<br />
no one wants to give their feetdust for our beloved Krs'n'a.<br />
All tell me that such bad words they will not even listen.<br />
O Vrajava'sii brothers, under this troublesome condition,<br />
tell me where I should go, how can I save my dear Krs'n'a.<br />
Due to fear of sin no one wants to shed their feetdust.<br />
Vrajava'sii:<br />
We do not know whether we are devotees or not,<br />
O Great Sage, we never heard of such event till today.<br />
We are not afraid of sin,<br />
with courage we offer our feetdust<br />

I found You ever accompanying me.<br />

Throughout all atrocities,<br />
You remained with me.<br />

The honeybee came close,<br />
and, buzzing around me,<br />
told me a message.<br />
(It told that) You were sitting alone<br />
and were expecting my call,<br />
(It asked) why I had forgotten about it?<br />
Nobody in life can ever forget You,<br />
be it consciously or unconsciously.<br />
O Lord, with all You are ever present<br />
in dream, in sleep or in the awakened state.<br />
Even after seeing, we (consciously) overlook,<br />
and do not admit our mistake.<br />
Thus knowingly ignoring,<br />
we go on floating (in the void) unable to find an abode.<br />
Days come and go, and never return.<br />
Whereto they go, we do not know.<br />
Affectionate words painfully vanish into oblivion.<br />
O Lord,<br />
remain in the core of my heart,<br />
and, speaking mentally to me,<br />
continue staying even after all others have left.<br />

In this universe created by You,<br />
many come and again leave.<br />
Yet, no one ever remains lost.<br />
All reside in Your shelter.<br />

You came when it was cloudy;<br />
In Your divine show<br />
the clouds were beautifully displaying themselves.<br />
The holy memory of that day<br />
still brings shivering to my being.<br />
How many days, how many eras<br />
have since passed?<br />
Into how many colours<br />
has the earth since then turned?<br />
The lost melody of bygone days<br />
still intoxicates my mind.<br />
Everyone comes and goes<br />
You only are eternal.<br />
You were present in the past,<br />
You are present now<br />
and You will forever be present in future.<br />
In the rain of that day, I attained You.<br />

When You came the clouds were filled with melody.<br />
I was egoistically silent; You went away very far.<br />
Today, sit close to me,<br />
come near me<br />
and remain in meditative posture with a gentle smile.<br />
Now, there is no ego.<br />
I keep on singing songs to the tune of Your flute.<br />
The jingling sound of Your ankle bells has filled my mind.<br />

O Cognitive Faculty,<br />

In my garden, I observe that tide has come.<br />
The intoxicated wind is full of sweetness.<br />
In my ears only one melody resonates.<br />
By it, the entire world is being swayed.<br />

All minds are (today) filled with beauty.<br />
By Your jerk, divine oscillations spread forth.<br />

You did not come nor listened to me until now.<br />
Today, my heart resembles the ketakii (screw pine) flower<br />

remaining standing empty handed in solitude.<br />
And yet, that fragrance spreads out across the blue sky.<br />
To the agony of a withered pollen, do You not listen?<br />

You deliberately avoid me.<br />

Even though You are aware<br />

of those who love You<br />
and of those who laugh or cry for You,<br />
You do not pay heed to it.<br />

Why does He not come near?<br />
Why does not He look towards me?<br />
Why does He continue dancing from afar?<br />
Despite He keeping Himself hidden,<br />
I reach Him by His own song and rhythm.<br />
No, no, He is not far away,<br />
He continues loving me in all circumstances.<br />
He stays close to me in pain and happiness.<br />
His sweet smile secretly remains with me always.<br />
Though unacquainted, He is not unknown,<br />
His divine game (liila'),<br />
I have now well understood.<br />

In Your advent,<br />
by singing Your name and songs,<br />
I have lost myself.<br />
By Your colour and form,<br />
in the dark night,<br />
a fountain of moonlight has appeared.<br />
Today, with tides of joy,<br />
the three worlds flow on and on.<br />
From their core,<br />
sweetness rushes forth in hundreds of flows.<br />
By Your touch and immense happiness,<br />
the string of life today lost itself in Infinity.<br />
Who would want to return to the past<br />
when the world today floats in a flood of light?<br />
Today, with Your arrival,<br />
all fervidity is full of You,<br />
leaving behind the past.<br />

with the lyre of my mind,<br />
whisperingly and through songs,<br />
I shall express to You<br />
the hidden agony of my heart.<br />
Why in this world,<br />
does screaming appear<br />
beside pleasure and joy?<br />
Why do happiness and momentary light<br />
suddenly vanish away under a dark pull?<br />
Why do You not respond to the call of those<br />

Why do flowers whither away with the ebb<br />
after a high tide?<br />

By what name should I call You?<br />
How is Your worship to be conducted?<br />
What is the utility of flowers and fragrance<br />
when all is the display of Your imagination?<br />
You are beyond all worlds,<br />
You remain above everything.<br />
All entities reside within You.<br />
With what accessories should I worship You?<br />
In which temple should I establish You?<br />
You exist amidst all living and nonliving entities,<br />
You exist in fire, in wind,<br />
in heaven, in hell<br />
and in the vast blue sky.<br />
There is neither invocation<br />
nor relinquishment for You.<br />
No mantra can ever bind You.<br />

O Lord,<br />
please come in the lustre of beauty,<br />
in the intense flow of light.<br />
Fulfil my realisation,<br />
colour my mind in Your radiance.<br />
You are beyond this universe.<br />
You are present everywhere,<br />
You are the shelter of my thoughts.<br />
I work for You, I meditate on You.<br />
And thus, I am eternally replenished by Your light.<br />
Don't keep me away.<br />
Raise my consciousness with Your rhythmic tune.<br />
So that I may never feel,<br />
the pain of loss.<br />
__________________<br />
O Lord,<br />
come, spreading beauty and effulgence!<br />
Come in illuminating fulfilment of my realisation.<br />
Beyond the world and constituent of the world,<br />
You are the pabulum of all thoughts and ideations.<br />
I continue doing Your work,<br />
I meditate on You in ever new arenas.<br />
Never leave me aside.<br />
Fill my consciousness with rhythmic melodies,<br />
So that I do not shake<br />
by the agony of defeat.<br />

You are beyond the world<br />
and yet, You are within it,<br />
why then, do I keep on searching?<br />
In the fire, in the air and in the great blue sky,<br />
by Your grace, everyone has been sweetly touched.<br />
You are the origin of all inspirations,<br />
and of all beauties of all that is created.<br />
Your Grace overwhelms me.<br />
I remain absorbed in that ideation.<br />
You remain alert each moment<br />
in the deep recesses of every mind.<br />
That is why,<br />
searching for You outside,<br />
would be a waste of time.<br />

Hiding within the mind,<br />
You continue playing Your divine game (liila')<br />
(in the outside word).<br />
My mind appears to have held You,<br />
yet, You are not caught.<br />
Your game comprises pain and pleasure,<br />
it includes numerous honours and dejections.<br />
The dancing time plays on.<br />
Whereto does it flows away?<br />
Explain this to me.<br />
Perhaps You do not realise my earnestness,<br />
as I do not look within.<br />
Now, my time just drifts away.<br />
Today, I am alone, lost in darkness.<br />
Piercing the bosom of a dark night,<br />
radiate a colourful effulgence upon me.<br />

It is now time to return home.<br />
I arranged a bouquet of flowers<br />

Whatever I took, was still less<br />
than what I gave in comparison.<br />
And what I got, was beyond comparison<br />

I had sung His praise.<br />

His eyes gazed deep into the core of my heart<br />

and not spared my mind.<br />
You did not come.<br />
You remained indifferent.<br />
Hit by the storm, buds of flowers dropped untimely;<br />
and even the fragrance of those flowers that were blooming<br />
vanished with the moonlight.<br />
Alas, despite all this, You did not come.<br />
Forgetting me, where were You?<br />
In what thought were You absorbed?<br />
Hit by the storm,<br />
the strings of the lyre of my mind got broken.<br />
My entire jingling note found an end,<br />
and yet, You did not come.<br />
To which unknown isolation<br />
did You remain confined, oblivious of me?<br />

O Lord,<br />
Your touch brought a fresh tide<br />
into my consciousness.<br />
Your joy brought heavenly effulgence into this world.<br />
Whenever I look into this great blue sky,<br />
I find no other than You.<br />
You remain in the soft breeze of my mental spring.<br />
Today, I find everything merging into You,<br />
I do not want what I formerly desired.<br />
From the deep and secret garden of my heart<br />
I am pouring out into the world,<br />
what once had remained hidden.<br />
In Your new melody, my love for You overflows.<br />
I attained You in exchange for all.<br />
I know You as the only essence.<br />

With a unique decoration of forms,<br />
You have maintained Yourself disguised<br />
within Your own divine game (liila'),<br />
O Lord!<br />
You have merged Yourself in Your own<br />
song, melody and rhythm.<br />
Whatever I see when opening my eyes widely,<br />
whatever conclusion I derive by reasoning and contemplation,<br />
in the depth of it all,<br />
You exist hidden,<br />
absorbed in a flow of sweetness.<br />
Within the darkness of pain, Your light remains ever present.<br />
Within losses, the reattainment of new forms is found.<br />
Within negativity, Your positivity persists over and above.<br />
Your light puts an end to all pains.<br />

O Lord,<br />
You came with the thunder of clouds<br />
and heavy rains.<br />
In You, the heated and fatigued earth<br />
today found new consolation.<br />
The peacock tail of my mind<br />
goes on dancing in hundreds of rhythms.<br />
The language devoid dialogue found new speech<br />
and now flows on towards Infinity.<br />
Attaining You,<br />
my heart today overflows.<br />
In all ten directions,<br />
I find a stir of effulgence.<br />
Today, there is nothing left for me to do.<br />
Lost in enchantment,<br />
I merely contemplate Your form.<br />
Today, the hunger of all three worlds<br />
and the nectar of all three realms<br />
merged into one.<br />

No thought is private<br />
For to You none is unknown.<br />
In Your play divine<br />
The universe dances<br />
Clinging in eternal adoration<br />
To Your feet.<br />
Floods of laughter You shower<br />
And a deluge of torrential tears<br />
Beams of exuberant joy<br />
And the heartrending pangs of pain.<br />
I love You<br />
Knowingly, unknowingly<br />
For Your songs of love<br />
Are strewn across the cosmos.<br />

And inundate me in a torrent of delight.<br />
The world drifts<br />

of Your ankle bells.<br />

Come O Lord<br />
In my meditation<br />
Come claim Your sacred seat in my heart.<br />
Bathed in Your joy all sing Your praise.<br />
Mind's peacock breaks into a prance<br />
Into a hundred faceted dazzling dance.<br />

Look lovingly at my face.<br />
Come my Lord<br />
And claim Your sacred seat in my heart.<br />

You, the eternal, ever pure object<br />
of supreme adoration,<br />
have created a tremendous wave<br />
the the ocean of effulgence.<br />
You fill the earth with exquisite colours and forms,<br />
and make her vibrant with life.<br />
You have awakened the universe with Your divine touch.<br />
It is full of Your refreshing vigour,<br />
intoxicated with Your joy<br />
and radiant with Your brilliant light.<br />
You are one, yet You have enlivened the world<br />
with Your countless forms.<br />
You have created the vast skies<br />
where millions of stars scintillate<br />
their multicoloured lights.<br />
To those in the depths of dark despair<br />
You appear as the pole star.<br />
You are one, but in Your myriad forms<br />
You have come to bathe each entity<br />
in the eternal waters of liberation.<br />
___________________________<br />
You the eternal, the ever pure,<br />
the Lord of Supreme Adoration,<br />
bring forth a tumultuous wave in the ocean of effulgence.<br />
You decorate the earth in exquisite array<br />
and make her vibrant with life.<br />
Awakened with Your touch divine<br />
the universe dynamic, joy intoxicated,<br />
with Your hundred forms enlivened,<br />
radiates Your light.<br />
In azure heavens You scintillate myriad colourful stars<br />
and You appear to the despondent<br />
as the brilliant polestar of their lives.<br />
You, the One,<br />
into a hundred forms divide<br />
to bathe us in eternal seas<br />
and liberate our minds.<br />

Ever tranquil, ever blissful,<br />
Pure Consciousness personified,<br />
grant my prayer to be at Your lotus feet.<br />
You are the very hope of the despondent;<br />
You are love to an afflicted heart;<br />
You are the final shelter for a shelterless wanderer.<br />
You exist in all realms, from their origin to their end,<br />
and my bountiful life is ever buoyant<br />
on the unseen currents of Your love.<br />
Your unbounded grace flows<br />
ceaselessly in all directions.<br />
You are the favourite of all, the most adorable.<br />
You are beyond the ken of human intellect and learning.<br />
You are the repository of all finitude<br />
in the midst of which You sprout.<br />
Yet we cannot know You<br />
who are beyond the limitations of finitude.<br />
When I contemplate You I begin to merge in You;<br />
the casket of my mind,<br />
saturated with the sweet pollen of pandanas,<br />

final shelter to the shelterless traveler,<br />
You, who reside in all realms<br />
from beginning to end<br />
from birth to death<br />
keep ever buoyant my life<br />
on Your unseen current of love.<br />
Your grace unbounded<br />
spreads pauselessly<br />
to the ten realms.<br />
You, the most adored<br />
remain beyond the scope of human ken.<br />
How shall we realise the one<br />
who beyond the boundaries of finitude<br />
sprouts from the midst of finitude<br />
yet is the repository of finitude?<br />
As I contemplate You<br />
I begin to merge in You.<br />
The casket of my mind<br />

Why do You beckon me today<br />
with the melody of the distant?<br />
My mind feels restless at home.<br />
I don't understand why it defies all bonds.<br />
The tightly closed petals of my mind flower<br />
blossomed at the quick notes of Your divine song,<br />
and now they drift contentedly along.<br />
In the garden, black bees buzz Your songs,<br />
whispering Your message in my ears.<br />
At the call of Your song,<br />
the sunflowers stand at attention to salute You.<br />
The shephali tree bows repeatedly down<br />
to decorate the path before You<br />
with a collage of her flowers.<br />
Birds are entranced with Your divine tune<br />
which permeates consciousness throughout the cosmos.<br />

"I have lived my life in vain<br />
Neglecting to worship the adorable Lord.<br />
Now I shall lose Him<br />
the All virtuous, life's rarest gem.<br />
How unfortunate I am<br />
to have not consumed<br />
even a drop<br />
of that ocean of love."<br />
O shame! I have lived my life in vain,<br />
I neglected to serve my Beloved Lord.<br />
He came within my grasp<br />
and yet<br />
I could not attain Him,<br />
I could not contain Him<br />
within my fickle heart's breath.<br />
Cruel fate has meted me out this pitiful lot.<br />
Within my grasp He came<br />
and yet<br />
that supreme treasure<br />
I could not attain,<br />
I could not devote myself to Him.<br />
Today I will start anew.<br />
Today I will pledge a vow<br />
to honour Him.<br />
Today, I will dedicate my all<br />
to follow Him<br />
to serve Him<br />
to know Him.<br />

O merciful Lord,<br />
who endowed You with this name?<br />
Tell my why did You create<br />
the flower stalks with thorns?<br />
Why streams must wend their way<br />
over bumpy pebble stones?<br />
Why fragrant lilies and loti bloom<br />
from turbid, dirty pools?<br />
Why the happy earth, home of all life,<br />
in silent space<br />
rotates alone?<br />
Why the starlit sky<br />
which scintillates<br />
with the light of a billion lamps<br />
must extinguish into oblivion<br />
when the full moon sings her tune?<br />
Why children, fresh as floral blooms,<br />
must cry so loud and long?<br />
Why moonbeams peep<br />
like frightened (captive) sheep<br />
through slits in ominous clouds?<br />
Why the peaceful sky with its gentle breeze<br />
can suddenly transform,<br />
spitting streams of hard and painful hail<br />
with the raucous laughter of a storm?<br />

through my dreams and pains,<br />
if You, O Lord, would agree,<br />
please look for any corner of my being<br />

Then, if my love prove true,<br />
the garden of my mind will surely bloom,<br />
and with those delicate petals<br />
shall I decorate<br />
a special seat for You.<br />

Your love is merely by word of mouth.<br />
You heed not my earnest yearnings.<br />
I search the deepest recess of my heart<br />
with the teachings I have learnt from You<br />
and yet<br />
You make restless my mind<br />
and in its turbid waters<br />
You gleefully hide.<br />
You arrange this festivity<br />
of colour and form<br />
and engage Yourself therein,<br />
smiling mischievously behind Your sport.<br />
Without a glimmer Your grace, my Lord,<br />
who can glimpse Your mysterious face?<br />

Why dark invades the light,<br />
what cause behind this childish play,<br />
we cannot know.<br />
Why have You mended mute mouths<br />
that they may glibly debate,<br />
why have You crazed us with Your science<br />
and thereby shadowed Your own existence<br />
with our worldly ways.<br />
Don't try to make us blind, O Lord,<br />
don't fool us with Your colourful games<br />
of successive light and shade.<br />

All nature's creatures sleep at night.<br />
Why does shiuli stay awake?<br />
Mother, kindly tell me why.<br />
All other flowers play by day<br />
laughing and dancing in fragrant array<br />
while around them black bees busily buzz<br />
collecting their hidden delights.<br />
I love too the day<br />
as the flowers do<br />
and so I know them well.<br />
I know them all<br />
so very well,<br />
their colours and sweet smells.<br />
The flowers and the puppies, all,<br />
the black bees and the myna birds,<br />
lay down their heads in sweet repose<br />
during the dark of night.<br />
Shiuli alone defies dusk's call<br />
and proudly proclaims her special role,<br />
"Look I am still awake!"<br />
Kindly tell me mother why<br />
shiuli's special ways?<br />
Out of love for whom<br />
she serenades the night<br />
and shuns the light of day?<br />
Listen close, my darling child<br />
why shiuli loves the night.<br />
She feels so shy in the light of day<br />
and hides away her face.<br />
Shiuli's precious petals fall<br />
at the break of every dawn,<br />
when You, my sweetest little one,<br />
from deepest sleep awake.<br />

O pain I have suffered for You.<br />
Do You not want to know?<br />
You, rarest jewel of the seabed;<br />
You, star of a distant sky.<br />
Your heart comes not within my reach.<br />
Diving deep into the ocean of form,<br />
I will certainly realise You,<br />
jewel like formless one.<br />
Floating in the limitless reaches of mind,<br />
I will certainly attain You,<br />
O distant star.<br />
You shall one day come within my reach.<br />
The sadhana of my entire life will be fruitful.<br />
The ocean of beauteous forms is approachable.<br />
My heart's sky is filled with Your existence.<br />
That's why You have willingly deluded my grasp,<br />
You can no longer make me forgetful;<br />
You can delude me no more.<br />

O, the pain I have borne!<br />

I shall realise You,<br />

I shall reach You,<br />
star of a distant sky.<br />
One day<br />
You shall come within my ken/grasp,<br />
the sadhana of my life<br />

I approach<br />
the ocean of beauteous forms,<br />

with Your presence,<br />
and yet<br />
You elude me still.<br />
O Lord, remove my forgetfulness,<br />

Your advent is a flash of lightening,<br />
like the radiance of a million jewels.<br />
In my heart You smile<br />
with the brilliance of innumerable hearts.<br />
You fill the earth with the fragrance of flowers<br />
and make me lose my identity in rapturous melody.<br />
In a sweet honeyed flow of compassion,<br />
You make me forget all sorrows and pains.<br />
My life dances like a flowing fountain.<br />
You intoxicate me with Your indescribable beauty.<br />
You began to love me suddenly<br />
without knowing anything of me.<br />
You dispel the Cimmerian darkness with superb force.<br />
Who are You who came into my life<br />
causing a sensation in this universe?<br />

You remain in the inner most heart hidden,<br />
unknown to all.<br />
We fail to seek You within,<br />
but look for You outside,<br />
just like the musk deer search for their own fragrance.<br />
We blindly move around those<br />
who won't stay here long,<br />
expecting something permanent.<br />
Destroy my illusion.<br />
Take me closer to You.<br />
Draw me to You and keep me close.<br />

in expectant anticipation.<br />
You, the dearest of all<br />
remain hidden in the inner most heart,<br />
unknown.<br />
We search for You madly<br />
like a musk deer<br />
externally seeking its own fragrance.<br />
We fail to look/seek within.<br />
We blindly hold on<br />
to those who won't stay long<br />
hungry for the permanent.<br />
Destroy my illusion!<br />
Draw me closer to You.<br />
Keep me forever by Your side.<br />

Everything is tinged with Your colour<br />

You remain beyond our ken,<br />
on the far side of a dark curtain.<br />
Yet Your sweet nectar like effulgence<br />
radiates in waves, inundating us.<br />
What is this unique sport of Yours?<br />
Things are painted with light and shade,<br />

Your resonant melody rings out to us, again and again.<br />
The wheels of Your chariot move with that melody,<br />

The fairy will dedicate this flower to her God.<br />
____________________________________<br />
Far, far away<br />
she flew<br />
to an unknown home<br />
holding the golden lotus bloom<br />
tightly to her breast.<br />
High, high<br />
into the tall blue sky<br />
where the air<br />
is more rare<br />
and the realm of clouds<br />
disappears.<br />
Faster and faster<br />
to her enchanted land<br />
where the stars glitter more brightly<br />
and the moon smiles more strong.<br />
She will offer the delicate flower<br />
to her God.<br />

The Lord who steals vanity<br />
never tolerates anyone's vanity.<br />
If one is proud and vain,<br />
one is bound to be defeated.<br />
Two princes set out<br />
to capture the thief of the golden lotus.<br />
They hoped to be victorious.<br />
They surrounded the blue sea<br />
with boats, ferries, sampans<br />
and all variety of local craft.<br />
They were sure of catching the flower stealer<br />
and exposing the fairy's evil tricks.<br />
But their minds and hearts were full of vanity.<br />
They were not aware<br />
that God was mysteriously smiling at their vanity.<br />
The fairy carried magic arrows,<br />
and managed to steal away the flower<br />
without the least fear.<br />
__________________<br />
The Divine Thief of vanity<br />
tolerates not arrogance and pride.<br />
For the vain<br />
defeat is preordained.<br />
Two proud princes<br />
in hope of victors' glory<br />
set out to capture<br />
the lotus thief.<br />
With boats and ferries<br />
and a host of craft<br />
they openly surrounded the shining Blue Sea.<br />
They were egotistically sure<br />
of ensnaring their prey<br />
and exposing her cunning ways.<br />
But God was intent on foiling their pride.<br />
The clever fairy<br />
armed with magic spears<br />
outwitted the princely team.<br />
She succeeded, the coveted bloom to steal<br />
without the least inkling of fear.<br />

Sleep, drowsiness, anger, lethargy,<br />
procrastination and fear are the six enemies<br />
of human kind, powerful vices.<br />
Even great personalities may be degraded by these,<br />
what to speak of common people.<br />
The princes after being outwitted by the fairy<br />
set out to an unknown destination.<br />
They began to search for a magic horse<br />
without which it was impossible to catch the fairy.<br />
Inflated with royal vanity,<br />
they didn't heed the needs of suffering human beings.<br />
They couldn't win the love of their hearts.<br />
They lost their common sense due to the spell of vanity.<br />
They lost their intellect,<br />
and were finally tricked into defeat in their quest,<br />
and they became captives of the demon.<br />
They languished away in a dark prison cell.<br />

Due to honesty, simplicity and spiritedness,<br />
ordinary human beings become extra ordinary.<br />
The Youngest prince was graced with these qualities.<br />
He too set out to catch the fairy.<br />
He went to the Blue Sea<br />
and set up ever vigilant sentries<br />
around the lotus grove.<br />
He spent a sleepless night,<br />
watching over the blooming flower.<br />
At the end of the night,<br />
the fairy came,<br />
nervously plucked the lotus<br />
and flew away.<br />
To catch the fairy, that magic horse was needed.<br />
The Young prince moved heaven and earth<br />
in search of that magic horse.<br />
Finally He came to the land of the demon<br />
and discovered the horse.<br />
He captured that capricious creature<br />
with the love of all the needy folk<br />
whose hearts He had won.<br />
Due to the righteous auspicious wish of his own<br />
and righteous intelligence,<br />
the dishonest demon finally admitted<br />
that human beings<br />
are not inferior to demons in valour.<br />
____________________________<br />
Honesty, simplicity and dynamicity<br />

He too undertook<br />
the flower thief to catch.<br />
On the Blue Sea<br />
around the lotus grove<br />
he posted vigilant sentries.<br />
A sleepless night He spent<br />
guarding the precious bloom,<br />
but alas,<br />
in the early morn<br />
the clever fairy<br />
stole his charge<br />
and away she flew.<br />
He needed the magic horse<br />
the fairy thief to catch<br />
and He moved heaven and earth<br />
in his search.<br />
At last, in the demon's land<br />
he discovered the capricious steed,<br />
and with the special help<br />
of the needy folk<br />
whose hearts, through service, He had won<br />
he captured it.<br />
The demon succumbed<br />
and from the depths of his own righteous heart<br />
acknowledged the strength and valour<br />
of his human kin.<br />

In the dreamland of the blue sea,<br />
the golden lotus has bloomed again.<br />
The waters of the Blue Sea vibrate with joy.<br />
Under the spell of heartfelt joy,<br />
it smiles its sweetest smile.<br />
In the moonlight full of the fragrance of the lotus,<br />
the breeze floats along to an unknown destination<br />
to search out and convey the news to hearts lost in that aroma.<br />
The fairy, in her mysterious, sportive way,<br />
approaches in spiralling movements<br />
to pluck the lotus.<br />
The Young prince sits on the magic horse.<br />
The fairy finally descends on the lotus.<br />
and clutching the flower,<br />
she flies away.<br />
The prince chases the fairy.<br />
The fairy, almost overpowered,<br />
now trembles in fear<br />
and frantically flaps her wings<br />
to apologise repeatedly for her mistake.<br />
The prince states firmly<br />
that such an act is unacceptable.<br />
The prince points out<br />
that God cannot be worshiped with a stolen flower.<br />
Do honest deeds,<br />
follow the honest path, he commends.<br />
______________________________<br />
In the pleasing waters<br />
of the blue sea of dreams<br />
a golden lotus blooms.<br />

In the full moon light<br />
her fragrance floats<br />
wistfully<br />
far and wide<br />
to conveys the news of her blossoming<br />
to aroma intoxicated hearts.<br />
The fairy<br />
in her mysterious play<br />
descends to pluck the bloom.<br />
The Young prince<br />
upon his magic steed<br />
vigilant<br />
in hiding awaits.<br />
When the fairy escapes<br />
with the golden flower<br />
clutched tightly to her breast<br />
he gives victorious chase.<br />
She shivers her wings<br />
and trembles in fear<br />
and begs forgiveness for her deed.<br />
The prince admonishes<br />
and makes it clear<br />
that with a stolen bloom<br />
one cannot worship God.<br />
Do noble deeds<br />
and follow an honest path<br />
he commends.<br />

You have hidden Yourself in my mind.<br />
I cannot find You.<br />
Unbeknown,<br />
You are inseparably associated with all.<br />
You are enthroned in every heart,<br />
in the charming spring,<br />
in the fragrance of flowers.<br />
Your overflowing sweetness<br />
drifts to the distant blue void.<br />
In the sapphire Sindh river,<br />
in the radiance of a vermillion mark,<br />
in the whiteness of milk<br />
and the sparkling white of the snow,<br />
where do You not exist?<br />
O Infinite Lord,<br />
You never come within the reach of individuals<br />
because once You come within our reach<br />
You have made Yourself finite.<br />
If we want to catch You we are to merge in You.<br />
Then we finite entities become infinite.<br />
You are one, yet You are in the minds of all<br />
in various forms.<br />
We sing Your glory.<br />

I encountered You.<br />
At life's dusk<br />
I came to know You.<br />
I had coloured You<br />
with shades of my finiteness.<br />
You appeared in my mind<br />
countless times;<br />
I feigned ignorance<br />
and groped for You<br />
foolishly<br />
elsewhere.<br />
My love woven garland<br />
has withered,<br />
and I, a pauper,<br />
at life's twilight<br />
offer You my feeble love,<br />
dried in arid sands.<br />
You have danced in my heart<br />
enticingly<br />
yet I listened not to her song.<br />
My well rehearsed tunes<br />
remain unsung.<br />
Now I surrender unto You<br />
laying mute offerings<br />
at the altar of the indescribable.<br />

Have mercy, O Lord<br />
have mercy on me.<br />
Lift me from dark dungeons<br />
and show me ever more beautiful forms.<br />
Delight me with Your rhythms<br />
of ever enchanting dance<br />
and fill my eyes increasingly<br />
with Your dazzling light.<br />
Make ever more expanded<br />
Your universal mind<br />
and broaden the scope of its melodious spell.<br />
Intoxicate me ever more,<br />
with the sweetest thoughts of You<br />
and stay by my side, please<br />
never stray from me.<br />

The petals have all fallen<br />
my garland is dry.<br />
With what tune<br />
shall I serenade<br />
my afflicted life?<br />
Seated on an altar of jewels<br />
You pledged salvation to all,<br />
You came to dispel the darkness<br />
from the three encumbered realms.<br />
Tell me why, then,<br />
You allowed<br />
the reverse to happen to me.<br />
Why, O Merciful Sea,<br />
heartless providence<br />
decreed<br />
the demise of my tender heart?<br />
Why do tears of pain<br />
(excruciating)<br />
flow ceaselessly?<br />
Why, O why,<br />
tell me, please,<br />
right now.<br />
It is not my complaint,<br />
it is my grievance.<br />

How many days<br />
how many sleepless nights<br />
have passed<br />
in expectation of Your advent?<br />
The fragrance of countless unnamed blossoms<br />
has faded<br />
into dew drenched oblivion;<br />

O, heartless one,<br />
You ensnare me still<br />
with magic floral bonds.<br />
I try to forget You,<br />
but I can't,<br />
and I am destined<br />
to pace lonely nights ka'na pati,<br />
to give an ear to,<br />
I am ever attentive<br />
in expectation of Your gentle step.<br />

The heart<br />
which had drifted apart,<br />
despondent in its separation,<br />
has slowly and silently<br />
regained its original composure.<br />
Those who taste samadhi<br />
in the shady bokul grove,<br />

transported by cosmic memories.<br />
Let us move silently<br />

lest we disturb<br />
with worldly movements<br />
their deep spiritual slumber.<br />

Once there lived a fairy tale king<br />
who knew not how to smile.<br />
He walked on his hands<br />
ate puffed rice with his toes<br />
and openly snacked<br />
on delicious cakes<br />
with his back to the midnight sun.<br />
He chewed cane with his tongue<br />
sucked its juice with his teeth<br />
and cast his net<br />
in the tennis court<br />
to capture succulent fish.<br />
In the light of midday<br />
underwater He would hide<br />
in fear of ghastly ghosts,<br />
and racing speed boats<br />
to distant skies He would fly<br />
for a breath of pleasant air.<br />
While others worked hard<br />
he would close his eyes<br />
and very contentedly snore.<br />

Spring, You have come today in my life<br />
awakening the earth with a new vibration<br />
stirring the depths of my being<br />
my inside and outside<br />
and the black bee of my mind<br />
with fragrant flowers and incense.<br />
You have stained my eyes with black collyrium<br />
and have brought radiance<br />
to the mango, bokul, shimul and other blossoms<br />
lining both banks of my heart.<br />
You have coloured mind's black bee<br />
which hums secretly<br />
and moves silently in gentle trepidation.<br />

appeared my Lord<br />
traversing the sky ways<br />
on a chariot of the golden sun.<br />
All was silent.<br />
There was none<br />

with whom to engage in heartfelt exchange<br />
upon this dusty earth.<br />
In the crimson dawn<br />
with love of life<br />
exuding profusely<br />
from the fragrant pollen of the heart<br />
He came<br />
at the first awakening<br />
of my life.<br />

Desert thirst was quenched<br />

Enter my abode dear Lord<br />
out of Your own unbounded grace.<br />
I have spread a special place<br />
superbly decorated<br />
and lit with/lighted by a burning lamp.<br />
In a hundred ways<br />
my mind's sweet love<br />
embraces You<br />
and my longing heart<br />
extends to You<br />
an ovation royal.<br />
No dark will ever touch<br />
this, Your personal abode,<br />
no shyness can destroy<br />
its splendid floral bowers,<br />
and the flame of the lamp<br />
burns silently<br />
for You alone.<br />
My mind's sweet love<br />
prances lithely<br />
enticingly plays<br />
in beautiful dreams<br />
like timid forest deer.<br />
My inner heart soars<br />
to limitless domains<br />
and my tears fall ceaselessly<br />
to bathe Your lotus feet.<br />

Those days of mine are forever gone<br />
when You stayed by my side.<br />
A garland of love<br />
I offered<br />
at the altar of love<br />
with mogra and magnolia<br />
in exuberant bloom,<br />
but You chose to leave<br />
to a distant land<br />
and their petals<br />
wither now.<br />
The light of dawn still scintillates<br />
in my love filled mind.<br />
Yet each day<br />
from her neglected blooms<br />
parched pollen<br />
sorrowfully falls.<br />

In floral fragrances<br />

His smile the radiance of pearls,<br />

Secretly,<br />
on a moonlit night,<br />
You silently slipped into my floral garden.<br />
The earth displayed gay decoration<br />
of fruits and flowers<br />
and heavenly nectar appeased my hunger.<br />
You spread out Your touch of life<br />
gracing the lifeless with life.<br />
You poured forth the fragrance of Your heart<br />
into the pollen and seed of all hearts.<br />
For You, every particle of this universe<br />
radiated light.<br />
You vibrated the ectoplasm<br />
with seven melodious notes.<br />
You broke into a smile<br />
in the decorated flower garden.<br />

in rhythmic steps<br />
at the time of my visit to the forest.<br />
As I was on my way<br />
You came,<br />
swooping down like a hawk,<br />
catching hold of my hand.<br />
The garland around my hair knot snapped,<br />
my basket of kadamba flowers fell down.<br />
Why do You come<br />
without notice, uninformed?<br />
Why, to show me the path which I already know?<br />
With the magic of Your melody<br />
my mind is intoxicated;<br />
with the rhythmic cadence of Your dance<br />
my mind is overjoyed.<br />
Why do You lavish Your love on me?<br />
I don't call You,<br />
but You come<br />
to flood me with joy.<br />

The Lord has assumed such a beauteous form.<br />
I am speechless and simply stare at him.<br />
I look and look on.<br />
I can no longer bear my afflictions<br />
yet I cannot bring him within my life.<br />
I fear none;<br />
I feel shy of no one.<br />
I simply love him because He loves me.<br />

I will move on to the forest.<br />
I will stay with him alone.<br />

You never come close to me.<br />
What is this love of Yours?<br />
I love You so much<br />
yet You do not come.<br />
The fragrance of a flower<br />
reminds me of You.<br />
My heart's joyous laughter<br />
fills me with Your presence.<br />
You are the very pulse of my life.<br />
My hopes revolve around You.<br />
When I cannot attain You<br />
I want to cry and cry.<br />
You are the essence<br />
of my life.<br />
