O Lord,
lead me on.
Lead me unto the fountain of effulgence.

O Lord,
lead me on.
I can no longer bear the pain of darkness in my heart.

O Lord,
lead me on.
With Your songs, break my deep slumber.

O Lord,
lead me on.

Purport:
Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) is the real friend. O Paramapurus'a, direct me unto the fountain of divine effulgence. I was slumbering in Cimmerian darkness I was an ordinary atom. But now I can no longer tolerate the staticity of darkness. O Paramapurus'a, sing before me the song which will arouse me from my deep slumber. Sing before me that song which will show me what is what and which is which.

SONG OF LIBERATION

This song of mine is a fountain of effulgence.

On this rocky path, day and night I keep on flowing,
heedless of all obstacles.

This song of mine is a fountain of effulgence.

This path of mine is rugged and full of thorns.
The flowing stream emanating from the source of life
will shatter the granite prison walls.

This song of mine is a fountain of effulgence.

...........................................................................

This song of mine
is like a flow of light.

In the rugged rocky terrain,
day and night, I flow along,
I flow along unhindered.

This path of mine is uneven,
full of thorns.

With a forceful flow of life,
I flow along, breaking asunder,
I move along breaking the prison walls.

Purport:
For those who move along the path of greatness and magnanimity, so much meanness and littleness stands as insurmountable obstacles. They know this and their song is like a fountain of divine effulgence it is not a materialistic song. Their song does not move along a smooth road. In their path there are so many thorns, so many ups and downs just like a fountain which flows along various rapids and finally merges into the sea. They recognize no barrier, saying "We move on and on, with all our innate vitality, ever breaking all the iron prison walls around us."

SONG OF NEOHUMANISM

Calling all, I will sing the glories of this crimson dawn
in the kingdom of divine light,

beyond the threshold of darkness.

The sky above is studded with stars,
The air is intoxicated with fragrance.
With all entities I exist,
anointing my mind with the pollen of flowers.

Calling all, I will sing the glories of this crimson dawn
in the kingdom of divine light,

beyond the threshold of darkness.

This earth on which I walk
is purer than the purest gold.
In its green shade,
all creatures are cherished.
It dances, blessed with new life.

Purport:
Darkness has come to an end, crossing the threshold at the edge of light. Now is the proper time to call all and announce that the crimson dawn has come. The beautiful sky is studded with so many stars, the air is sweetlyscented. The atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere everything is closely related to me. All the flora and fauna I must preserve; I must save them from premature extinction because I love everything of this earth. I am a NeoHumanist. I call one and all to come and create a new rhythm.

SONG OF FULFILLMENT

The ancient unknown traveler has come.
With the blissful resonance of consciousness,
my life overflows with song.

In the sweet form of the loss of all,
in the destitution of oblivion,
with the rhythm and song of attainment,
with the invocation of the everbeautiful one,
my life overflows with song.

The unknown traveler has come,

in the invocation of the eternallybeautiful,
my life became filled with songs.

SONG OF AWAKENING

My Lord is covered in golden light.

The bird of dawn begins to sing,
vibrant with new life.

Why all this?
In answer to whose call?

Day and night I seek Him.
The new light sends forth a blaze of effulgence
and beats its new wings of joy.

My Lord is covered with golden light.

note : This is the experience of a sa'dhaka (spiritual aspirant) immediately after receiving initiation.

SONG OF BUDDHA

In the midst of silence
who are You who came,
breaking my deep, dark slumber?

Breaking my slumber,
in the midst of silence?

When the raging storm
had extinguished my lamp,
You lit the flame of knowledge in my eyes,
and broke my slumber.

In the small garden playhouse,
those who come, go far, far away.
Their path is a beacon of light today.

Lighting Your lamp to awaken me
You have broken my slumber.

Purport:
O Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness), You have come to break the bondage of slumber. You lighted the lamp of knowledge which was extinguished by thunderstorms. You are the lighthouse that saves us from any destruction, from the ravages of cyclones. People come and go in this world without direction; You have shown them how to reach their destination.

Purport:
I have the intense desire to come to You and move along with You, O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), but there are innumerable obstacles on the way.
I want to move along with You, but in this material world, my mind is always being disturbed by various worldly bondages and obstacles.
O my Lord, crush all those bondages, those walls of obstacles, and take me along with You.
So many worldly waves come and go according to Your desire, so please help me I am ready to do anything and everything for You. Take away all those obstacles so that I may easily reach Your lotus feet.

That gloomy despair is dispelled today,
by the touch of infinite light.

The thirst of the desert
has vanished in that sweet and charming shade.

In my song, there is no demand.
In my smile, there is no attainment.

All my movements, all my expressions
move in the flow of exquisite beauty
towards that beacon of infinite light.

Purport:
The pathos of darkness has been expelled.
It has come in contact with the divine light, the divine effulgence. All my pains of this material world have been banished by Your sweet benign touch; thus all darkness has been removed. The thirst of the desert, the draught of the desert is no more with me, and my mind is now throbbing with divine energy and dancing in divine ecstasy.

By Your magic mirror,
whatever we think,
whatever we do,
O Lord,
You know it all.

The pulsation of life,
the evolution of the ages,
You listen,
You hear all secrets.

By hiding from You,
what are we to do?
By making You unmindful,
what are we to think?

You are in all manifestations,
and in all actions.
You are in the sweetness of silence.

Purport:
Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) has a magical mirror (maya mukura), and with the help of that magical mirror He can see whatever one is, whatever one does. He can feel the heart beating of each and every individual, and knows the entire evolution of this universe.
O Paramapurus'a, that is why one cannot do anything secretly, that is why one cannot think anything secretly.
You are with each and every action of this physical world.
You are with the movement of each and every cell of the human mind; and You are with each and everyone with Your silent beauty.

When merciless tempests raged,
and all was lost to regions unknown,
I held on to Him
in whom all losses end.

Where there is no light, there is no life.
Today, I attained the apostle of light.

Today, I remember those longforgotten days
of the auspicious dawn of my life,
when I came to know You in my crying.
O, Lord of petty entities!

Countless days have come and gone.
Countless nights have become hidden in light.
You exist beyond the realm of light and shade.
O Lord of effulgence!
O my Lord of beauteous forms!

Beyond the feelings of known and unknown,
the sweetness of spiritual realisation
forever flows around Your feet.

O Lord of sweetness!
Thou art beyond illusion!
O my Lord of songs!

Purport:
O Lord, I remember the past days when I came into this world as a newborn child my first communication with the world was through crying. Not tears, crying. A newborn child does like this (demonstrates). So the first talk to the world is crying; there may or may not be tears. In the first phase You come to me in the form of so many small things, childhood needs; then You come in the form of so many big expressions water, air, sky. And then in the final phase, You come in the form of songs.

are all dancing in Your melodious rhythm.
For, it is Your love that all are seeking.

Don't forget me, don't forget me!

O Paramapurus'a, do not desert me. I am spending sleepless nights for You. The universe exists because You are there. Because of Your presence the universe is created. So the existence of the universe is dependent on Your existence. All natural beauties are dancing, all are getting inspiration from You. All long for Your love and affection.

Deep in dream,
the air heavy with moisture,
the Unknown Traveler came.

On the strings of His lyre,

He sang the song of consciousness.

How affectionate was His look!
How compassionate His smile!
Shattering all bondages,
The unknown has become known today.

Purport:
When the air was heavy with moisture and while I was in a deep dream, a very sweet dream, I saw that an unknown traveler had come. His eyes were full of affection and His sweet smile said who He was.

Purport:
The clouds have vanished and now there are no worries or anxieties. Now we are proceeding towards the supreme destination, the supreme desideratum of life. There is no obstacle now in the blue sky. Some people from another world, the divine world, are calling and saying, "You brothers and sisters of Earth, come forward. We are ready to join hands with you." Let there be a happy union between the physical or mundane world and the divine world. Let there be a happy blending, a divine union.

SONG OF EGALITARIANISM

Someone has come and whispered into my ears,
"The new dawn will come".

Beyond the curtain of darkest mist
a new golden light will laugh.

No more agony and lamentation!
No more tears flowing from the eyes!

From beyond the scope of all pain
the freshness of life will float anew.

The realm of affection and compassion,
of hope and love
and sweetest dreams
will enter the inner core of all minds
and remove
even the blackest shadows of darkness.

Purport:
All black shadows of pains and troubles will be dispelled by human love and human touch. Someone whispered in my ear that a new dawn will come. The golden light will laugh, crushing the Cimmerian darkness. There will be no more pain and sorrow, and no more tears. Affection, compassion, love and hope will enter the inner core of all minds. All black shadows of pains and troubles will be dispelled by human love and human touch.

You know how to play the lyre.
You know how to weave endless melodies.
You know how to make the world dance

You know how to love the world

O Lord, You are a star of the distant sky!

I do not know You, I do not know,
do not know, do not know!

Come slowly and sit by my side.
Do not hide Yourself from me.
Do not hide, do not hide, do not hide!

So many sorrows of so many days,
so many ideas
are stored in my mind!

I will pour out my heart to You.
Do not pretend to be deaf.
Do not pretend, do not pretend, do not pretend!

You are my nearest one, You are my dearest!

You are the one who all adore most!
Do not maintain this bondage of distance.
Do not maintain it, do not maintain it!

Whatever learned people may say,
whatever the scriptures may say
I will remain Yours and You will remain mine!
No other idea will I accept.
I won't, I won't, I won't!

Purport:
O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), at present You are a star of the distant sky. I see You, but I don't know You. Come gradually closer to me and sit by my side. Don't try to hide from me I have many things to say to You. So many pains and so many ideas have accumulated in my mind. Let me express them fully don't pretend to be deaf. Come near to me, I will tell You everything and my heart will become light. You are the dearest, the most adored by all. Everyone wants to be near Youplease don't remain far away. Scriptures bear no significance for me. I am not to be guided by the scriptures I am to be guided and controlled by devotional love. Whatever the scholars or scriptures may say, I know only that You are mine and I am Yours. Nothing else can I accept.

in the dark and cloudy night.

You are the polestar
to one lost in wilderness,
wandering on a lonely path.

You are the sweet balm

In all my actions I seek You.
In my unspoken agony,
I long for You,

You are in day

You make us forget all obstacles on our path.
You are together with us.

O Lord, You are the glittering moon

You are, O Lord, like the glittering moon in the cloudy night. You are like the polestar to one lost in the wilderness. You are the sweet healing balm for all the pains and agonies of life.

In my sorrow You are with me, in my joy also You are with me.

O unfailing friend, can You tell me
what You do throughout the day?

Whatever comes and whatever goes
it all takes place under Your feet.

In Your mind everything is written.
With such a mind,
what do You do?

O divine friend, can You tell me
what You do throughout the day?

With all the happiness and all the sweetness
with all the sorrows and all the pains,
how do You manage Your divine sport?

And tell me, do You have any secrets?

Purport :
We human beings remain preoccupied with worldly activities buying, selling, bargaining. Sitting in these, we keep ourselves engaged. O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), what do You do all day? Please tell me in what kind of activity You keep Yourself busy. Yours is the macrocosm. All the thoughts, all the ideas of the universe are all within Your mind. In that Cosmic Macrocosm, I fail to understand what You do and how You can manage with so many thoughts and so many feelings with all the joys and sweetness, with all the sorrows and miseries of all the creatures. If I were in Your situation I would become mad! What do You do with all Your ideas and expressions? And not only that, there have been certain polarizations regarding Your thoughts and expressions, ideas and activities. Some people are Your ardent supporters, some are against You; some dearly love You, and some are vehemently opposed to You. With all Your supporters and opponents, how do You continue playing Your liila (divine game)? It is something wonderfully strange! As much as I have understood, I still have become confused! Now the question arises I want to know from You very secretly besides all these, have You got any other personal secret with You? Please tell me. I want to say something to You. Be with me and hear me. When due to sorrow I am unable to say anything, hear me also then. While on the journey of my life, when I feel tired, at that time also be with me, inspire me and remove my afflictions.

But now, You have pierced the veil of darkness.

Soaring on wings evernew,
You are the apostle of the new light.

All despair has vanished

The universe has been flooded

With Your arrival, all frustrations have disappeared, and today hope prevails everywhere. The entire universe has been flooded with a wave of love, and all living beings have started to love each other.

O Lord suddenly You came,
and suddenly You left.

In the midst of the deep, dark night
You came and smilingly said:

"I am now too busy, I must go, go, go.
Many are there,
who want many things
and at least something
I must give them;

In giving and taking
I remain thus engaged.

So I have no time, no time, no time!

In many corners of the world,
many are there who ask for me secretly.
To them also I must go.
Where will I find the time, where, O where?

And there are those who ask for all.
And there are those who ask for nothing.

And they are the ones
who, by wanting Me, want all.
To their hearts' call
I must respond.
They are the ones who love the most."

Purport:
You appeared before me suddenly in the night and said smilingly, "I am very busy with so many activities and thus I cannot stay with you. I must go, I must go, I must go !" What is this? You said, "Everybody in this world wants something from Me, but it is not possible to grant everything they ask for. And you know, some of these demands are logical and justifiable, some are not. Even so, I am to satisfy them, at least giving something if not fully quenching their thirst, at least partially, I must quench their thirst. And with these matters, I remain engaged. "There are many people who say, 'O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), You are mine, so You should meet me secretly, confidentially in my heart. I want personal contact with You' I am to go to them also, and this requires some time too. So there is shortage of time, there is paucity of time. "There are also some very intelligent people who say, 'O Paramapurus'a, I don't what anything from You, I want You! Those who say this actually want everything because they want Me! They are the most clever and intelligent sa'dhakas (spiritual aspirants), so I am to respond to their call also. I am to fulfill their demands and their desires. In fact, it is these people whom I like the most, "So you sa'dhakas, I have a great deal of work to do. I have come for only a short while, and so it is difficult for me to remain long with you. I must go; I must go, I must go."

I gave what they desired.

Now, the light of humanism has spread.
Spiritual humanism has entered everyone's heart.

And those with love in their heart
what have they done?
They have tightly bound their heart unto mine.

Purport:
O people of the world, behold! Those who were seeking Me, I gave them what they wanted. As a result, a wave of humanism is flowing through the world, and that humanism is blended with spirituality. Now is this world, who are the most fortunate beings? Those who are endowed with a developed mind. And what have they done? Out of their deep love for Me, they have brought Me so close to them so that in all their hearts, in all their minds, I have closely associated Myself. From these individual minds I cannot remain apart. I am completely associated with them, I am inseparably linked to them.

Let me flow in the current of celestial light

Purport:
Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) is the greatest friend. The degree of bondage is greatest in crude matter where consciousness is dormant. So, O Lord, please sing Your blissful songs and rouse me from this slumber of staticity. Let me proceed towards Your effulgence. Let the supramental waves elevate this entire material world to the Supreme Stratum, and let me rise above this material world and come in close contact with You. I want this blessing from You, my Supreme Guide, my Paramapurus'a.

Come dancing in rhythm!

I was unconscious in the world of darkness
when You came like a blazing sun.
Flooding my life with Your colourful radiance,
You intoxicated my mind.

O Lord, come dancing in rhythm!
Come dancing in rhythm!

Piercing through the fog of confusion,
come into the core of my heart.

Come dancing in rhythm!
Come dancing in rhythm!

O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), come to me with the rhythm of Your dance and with Your sweetness. Do not come in any crude form, in the form of violence, in the form of darkness, in the form of terror. I want to have You through the sweet melody of songs and the sweet rhythms of dance. I want to be one with You through these rhythms. I was in deep slumber and You awakened me, You led me on with Your sweetness and rhythm, You coloured my life with Your colour. Now, please come close to my heart. Please touch me. beloved god, thus break my sleep yourself.
In this dark world I was unconscious, In my life a new sun has come.
What you have done spreading the light, colouring my mind and life.
You have enchanted my mind, having come, crossing all mist into the depth of my mind.

and expect so much from it.

You call me from distant stars,
from the rifts in the clouds.

I am bound by innumerable impediments
by the smell of the earth,

by the sparkling river currents,
or the shining sky above me.

Yet, You still call me from distant stars,
from the rifts in the clouds.

O my Supreme Friend,
I know You are very close to me.
Why then do You call me from afar?
How will I be able to see You
from such a distance ?

My life was polluted with poisonous dissonance.

There are so many charms, so many objects of fascination on this earth, but the accumulated force of all these sweet worldly attractions is far less than the attraction for Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness). Before this Supreme Attraction all other worldly attractions fade. The mind wants a closer affinity to Him, and no charms, no attractions, no fascinations of this mundane world can create any obstacles on the path.
Now there remains the eternal question why is the cosmic attraction so powerful and irresistible? Why is the call of the Great so great?

In Your name,
in Your song
I have lost myself.

The traveler who was lost in the darkness
has now discovered the stream of light.

The intoxicating air tries to bind me
with its bondages of attachment
I will say, smiling sweetly,
"I have smashed the stony prison walls."

All Your creatures are worthy of adoration.
Lord, accept my pranam (salutation).
All minds are unique.
Lord, receive my namaska'r
(salutation to the Divinity within).

I have come in the flow of universal momentum,
like the nectar in a flower blossom.
Today, the call of Your enchanting name
has shattered all my bondages.

Purport:
You know there is eternal movement, eternal velocity with each and every entity, whether animate or inanimate. Nobody comes into this world knowingly all human beings come unknowingly in the process of eternal movement, just as nectar comes within a flower. Now, after coming here, when I came in contact with Your name and with Your song, I was so overwhelmed that I have lost myself, I have lost my identity.

Before Your eyes
everything moves and dances.
Under Your feet
the whole universe flows.

The days that are past,
The songs that are sung
The words that are spoken
All have merged in You.

Many a times I came and danced and sang.
Many a people I loved.
Many a times I broke the bonds of ma'ya' (the illusory world).
Many a games I have played.

For a long time, I have been moving towards You.

In this flow of movement
all things return to dust.
But this dusty earth is never without You.
It flows in Your rhythm, towards immortality.

Purport:
Whatever one thinks, whatever one sees, whatever one says, all these expressions are rhythmic expressions, and these rhythmic expressions come from You, remain with You, and go back to You. Whatever was said, millions of years ago, was sung or was expressed, all is still there in the storage of the Cosmic Mind. No vibration is lost forever. Do not think that anything is lost nothing is lost, nothing dies forever. And that is why all the rhythms of this universe, all the celestial rhythms, and all the mundane rhythms flow towards You. You are the ultimate goal, You are the Supreme Desideratum. Everything moves towards You, everything moves towards the Supreme Source of immortality.

The sky and the air are the essence of nectar.
The call of the dark clouds
produces sweetness in my heart.

The paincajanya conch is blowing.
What a sweet melody of dance and song!
What a flood of effulgence in my heart!

I have lost all sense of direction,
listening to the call of the Supreme.

Who is calling me off and on
to an unknown land,
with such sweet song?

After the darkness, such effulgence!

Suddenly my whole being is soothed and calm
and my heart is filled with that inner sound.

Purport:
Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), who is also known as Lord, Krs'n'a, has come so close to me, and I am listening to the sweet music of His flute. This flute sound of Paramapurus'a, this internal sound is the om'ka'ra sound. Because of my coming in close proximity to His divine presence I hear that divine sound, and I find that the sky, the air, and everything of this universe has been filled with divine nectar and charged with divine fervour. I hear that cosmic sound of that cosmic flow. Now there is nothing left to be attained everything has been attained.

You are the unfailing guide,
the nearest and dearest of all.
You are the goal of all lives.

You are the festival of light
in the darkest night.
You are the fountain
in the desert.
You are the goal of all lives.

When everything has been revealed,
what need for games of hideandseek?

O Lord, come into my heart
in Your true form,
in a flow of sweet compassion.

On Your path, gleaming with radiance,
how can You hide anything?

You are the goal of all lives.

Purport:
Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) is always with everyone, and not only is He with everyone, He helps everyone in all circumstances, whether good or bad, sinner or virtuous. He is just like a fountain of fresh water in the desert; He is just like a festival of light in a dark night. Now, when this fact has been known to all, that You are the helper of all and no one can be without You, then You no longer remain unknown regarding You everything has become known to all. So now there is no necessity of this hideandseek play with us! Come in the forefront and proclaim Your true identity saying, "I am Paramapurus'a," and don't play hideandseek with us any longer. And You know, one can hide only in darkness, or in a closed place. But the path You have shown to us is glittering with light, and there is no dark place on it so where will You hide Yourself on that glittering path? It won't be possible now for You to play hideandseek with us, so please give up this particular habit of Yours it is a defective idea. The days of playing hideandseek are over.

In a forgotten dawn,
when a gentle breeze was blowing,
You appeared on the mirror of my mind.

You blossomed like a flower,
shining in golden light,
flowing with sweet fragrance,
destroying all impurities.

Renewing my existence,
painting pictures of new life,
sending out Your thunderous call
You broke all the chains.
You broke all the chains.

Purport:
You came into my life when You came I don't remember but this much I know, that once You came in my life. You came with a golden light, spreading a sweet fragrance. And because of Your radiant appearance all dark clouds disappeared, all the pains and agonies of my life were removed. You appeared in my life like a pure flower, and with Your appearance there was a flood tide of new vigour in my being. All my bondages were broken to pieces.

The invisible Lord has appeared in my mind,
flooding my whole being with effulgence.

With what an enchanting appearance He has come!
With what an exhilarating smile He is laughing!

His effulgence has painted rainbow colours
on the clouds of my pain.

All the songs, all the rhythms,
all the melodies of the universe
are simply to welcome Him.

Purport:
He has come, filling everything with nectar, making everything glitter with radiant light. He has come, dressed in new garments, and now I see this world in a new light.

And now I feel as if honey is percolating from all the corners of the universe.

You have come,
passing through countless towns and cities,
filling innumerable voices with melody and song.

You have come, piercing through countless galaxies,
dancing dances of innumerable rhythms.
By Your unbounded grace,
the world has been given life.
With Your divine ideation,
the creatures have evolved their minds.

By Your unfathomable kindness,
in Your cosmic rhythm,
the world has learned to sing and dance.

There is no song without You,
no dance without You
Countless mantras (incantations) have evolved,
just to remember You.

Purport:
O Lord, You came here passing through so many habitats and habitations, and filling up countless throats with melodies. You have come here crossing through so many nebulae, galaxies and milky ways, and You appeared before us, dancing in so many rhythms. The world has received life from You and mind from You and the world has learned how to sing and dance from You. Without You there cannot be any song, without You there cannot be any dance. So many incantations and mantras, are just to remember You.

In the magnolia garden,
with the southern breeze,
You came today
with Your rhythmic songs.

All pangs of loss,
all disappointments,
All weaknesses
have been forgotten.

On the path of movement,
filled with memories,
in the moving swing
of hopes and disappointments,
You played Your flute of love
and filled everything with Your sweetness.

In the flowing stream of divine light
You have manifested Yourself in endless ways.

What else can I call it except Your grace?

From beyond the veil of darkness,
You Yourself came into my life.
Heedless of my merits and faults,
You loved me.
You showered Your love on me.

Into my small mind,
You infused desires.
In small ideas,
You have kept me attached.

You who are so vast,
You have taught me how to make You my own.
You have showered Your love on me.

By thinking of You,
By remembering You always,
You have taught me how to know myself,
You have showered Your love on me.

Purport:
One can have a rough idea, a microscopic idea of God only when Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) desires it. Without His desire, nothing can be done. Even a blade of grass cannot move without His support, without His order. You came from beyond the veil of darkness, and You loved me without caring for my qualifications and disqualifications.
This is nothing but Your mercy, and that is why I say that You are mine. And You have taught me how to know You. You know, everything is the object of Paramapurus'a: Paramapurus'a is the Supreme Subject, the Supreme Subjectivity. He cannot be the object, for He sees everything. He is the subject, and the entire universe is the object; but Paramapurus'a Himself teaches the microcosms, the human beings, to make Him their object. That is, during sa'dhana, the sa'dhaka becomes the subject and Paramapurus'a becomes the object. Such a vast entity cannot be the object He is the subject but He Himself has taught that during sa'dhana (spiritual practice), "You should accept Me as your object." And He has further taught that "If you know Me, you will know yourself also."

O Lord,
I have attained You in the smiling crimson dawn,
in the murmurings of the lotus garden,
in the morning breeze,
in the flow of the fountains,
in the lonely treelined forest paths.

I have attained You in the ups and downs of my path,
in laughter and in dance,

in rhythm and in melody,
in sweet remembrances,
in the song of my innermost heart,
in all that I hear and all that I think,
in the murmurings of the lotus garden.

I have realised You,
I have loved You, I have brought You close
in my memories and in all my eloquent dreams.

Purport:
Along the path of progress, the movement towards the goal is not a straight and plain road. There are so many ups and downs. O Lord, You have been with me during the ups and also during the downs. In my pleasures You were with me in the smiles on my face, and in my pains also You were with me, in the tears in my eyes. You have been with me in all circumstances and in all conditions You never leave me. You are so near to me, You maintain the closest proximity to me You are my closest friend.

Whatever You may say,
I will move on without pause.
I will move on without pause,
I will speak my mind without hesitation.

The sky is full of silver clouds.
With the colour of the kash flowers,
the breeze is intoxicated.
The night jasmine flowers
pour out their flood of perfume
and the dewdrops are quivering with joy.

I am not finding Him whom I have been searching
though He knows I am seeking Him,
and though He has threaded a small garland with my songs.

I will move on without pause,
I will speak my mind without hesitation.

Purport:
You may say whatever You like, but You must know that mine is a pauseless march I go ahead without pause, and whatever I say, I say straightforwardly and without any sentiment. I am always under all circumstances, outspoken. In all directions, nature is bountiful and beautiful, full of love and full of melody; and amidst this natural beauty I am simple and straightforward, there is no curvature in me. I am in search of a particular personality, and I know that personality is also in search of me. and I all know that these tiny songs of mine have been accumulated by Him. He is preparing a garland out of my songs.

I will accept no one else but You and I do not want to know anything else.

In the fragrance of the bakula flower
and in a wave of bliss, He came.
He came in the rhythm of the honeybee.

"After every end a new beginning
Nothing really ever ends," He said.

The flows of life are endless and unfathomable.
Even in the desert, they never cease to flow.

In Your momentum,
in Your speed,
In Your current,
we move along.

All pains and all obstacles
these iron gates have all been broken.

Purport:
The Lord came with the fragrance of the bakula flower and with a wave of sweetness, with the rhythm of the honeybee. In His eternal movement there cannot be any full stop. When we say "This is the last point," then we see that it starts once again. A river may dry up amidst the desert, but the flow of life will not dry up, even amidst the desert of obstacles. O Parmampurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), when You are with me, no obstacle can stand before me as insurmountable even iron gates will crumble to pieces when Your grace is with me. O Lord, stay with me.

Let the sufferings of each be shared by all, for this world belongs to us all.

What is the honeybee in the bower
trying to say with its buzzing?

Those who hear the language of the heart,
what pangs of yearning do they try to express,
playing on the strings of the lyre of their minds?

For such deep feelings there is no language.
For such infinite desire,
there is no strength of attainment.

All glories, all greatness
lie prostrate at Your feet.

All lotuses,
pure or impure,
seek to offer themselves to You.

Purport:
What are the buzzing bees trying to say? They want to say something about Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness), and those who can hear the language of the heart, they also want to say something. Everybody wants to express something, but the difficulty is that, where there is depth of ideas, depth of feelings there language fails to express it. There may be so much desire, so much inner longing to express something, but there is no stamina for expression. So under such circumstances there is no other alternative but to surrender at His altar, and offer all the lotuses of human expression unto Him. These lotuses may be clean and pure, or they may be dirty but even if they are dirty, still Paramapurus'a will accept them. He will accept them.

The divine effulgence is suffusing down from above,
for today the Lord of light has come.

The Lord of Light has come today.
The Lord of light has come.

Trembling in fear,
the forces of darkness are fast disappearing.

With a roaring thunder, the storm is raging.
The awesome Lord proclaims,
"Do not be afraid, O do not be afraid.
All the fog is fading away."

The thunderclouds,
the stars and the moon,
the boundless universe
have all awakened today,
for, the Lord of light has come.

Purport:
The Lord of effulgence has come today, and due to His presence, due to His august visit, the dark shades of immorality are fast vanishing away in fear. And in this moment, in this juncture, the Supreme Purus'a, the Lord of all strength and vigour, is saying comfortingly, "O human beings, don't be afraid, the fogs are fast disappearing." In the stars, moon and other planets life is dancing. There is no fear, no fear the Lord of light has come.

I send forth my call to all who would hear.
I seek those who wish to proceed
along the path of humanity.

Humanity has suffered the anguish
of affliction and disease.
In pain and unbearable agony,
it has felt the harsh curse of hardship and want.

I search for those who want to wipe away
those tears of sorrow.

Humanity has endured the pangs of starvation,
borne humiliation and cruel indifference.

I welcome those who desire to apply the healing balm
on those torturous wounds.

Into the madhuka garden His vibration came
The Lord of Light came;
He came, He came.

In life's countless flows and countless forms,
glitteringly He came, He came, He came.

There is no time to sit and weep
or pause and rest along the path.
All pains, all lamentations
He made me forget today, forget, forget.

We must not waste our energy,
for blood is surging in the flow of action.
In all directions the sweetness of mind
rushes towards infinity, rushes, rushes.

The flower of my heart and the flame of my mind
He took away my all,
He took away my all, my all, my all.

Who are you, gazing at the blue sky,

You did not get what you wanted.

The hunger of your body, life and mind

He loves me so much,
yet He does not come.

Who are You that came without telling me,
sending out Your call to rouse me from slumber?

Gracefully moving in the restless wind,
singing Your song of final attainment?

The sun is in the sky, the earth underfoot.
Your trumpet is sounding in the bustling lanes,
sending out Your call to rouse me from slumber,
casting out lethargy and idle lamentation.

Dancing and singing in rhythm,
moving forward on the path
towards the stream of radiant light
sending out Your call to rouse me from slumber.

I live wrapped in His melodies.

In the shadows of melodies, I attain Him.

In the sweet and blissful rhythm of melodies,

He hides himself.

In all my desires,

the final word lies in the heart of melodies.

with their buzzing?

What is that music
that is not lost in the desert,
overflowing with rhythm and melody,
filled with all the colours and fragrance of the earth?

Sitting amidst all of this,
I keep threading my garlands,
filled with all the sweetness of life.

The nectar hidden in the flower,
the fragrance buried in the pollen,
the love deep in my heart
awakening all of these,
I keep on singing,
surpassing the strings of the lyre.

And what are the bees whispering in the garden
with their buzzing?

You are the lost sound that came floating into my ears.
You are the lost rhythm that made me dance.

You removed the tears that filled my eyes.
You are the jewel of the sea that soothed my life.
When You came, You rocked the cradle of the universe.

Love flowed beyond all bounds
by the magic touch of Your dream.
The core of my heart was filled with sweetness,
overflowing with rhythmic melody,
and intoxicated with the fragrance of flowers.

The polestar of life has appeared
to those who have lost their way.
The world has found new momentum.
All directions radiate with effulgent light.

Moving forward is the law of life.
The days pass by without return,
for, this is the rule of life.

The words already spoken,
the pains already endured,
have lost themselves in limitlessness.
And thus the days pass by.

Whatever began in the distant past,
there is something more ancient still,
woven in the melodies of the strings of dream,
on the lyre of the inner heart.

Those who are lost from us
are merged in Your endless vibration.
And thus the days pass by.

Some flowers want to stretch out their arms
to delay the autumn forever.

The spell of winter has not yet come,
for autumn will not depart soon.

The leaves have not yet fallen,
and in this atmosphere I sit and sing.
Let me feel You always near.

The dullness of winter is not yet here.
No mists float before my eyes.
In the lotus grove is no laughter or frolic.

Amidst this atmosphere I ask myself,
"Why do You always say, I'm going, going, going?"

In autumn my basket of flowers
will be filled with the touch of Your life.

The flowers are all disappearing
in neglect and disregard.
Those which remain will wear coloured garments,
will wear the touch of Your life.

On unnamed trees the birds in their nests
repeat Your name in their minds
with the touch of Your life.

In Your mind, I exist,
merging my merriment in Your merriment,
blending my melody in Yours.

Now, sweet nectar will flow,
will flow in the touch of Your life.

At the end of autumn, in the frosty air,
why does the lotus not bloom?
Around the nectarless flowers,
why do the bees not hover?

Though in the forest,
the lotus does not blossom,
in the mind it blooms.
Though around the flowers,
the bees do not hover,
they hover around the nectar of mind.

In the melancholic melody of autumn,
the forest is filled with the song of sadness.
Yet, thinking of Him, all pains are alleviated.

At the end of autumn,
in the frosty air,
why does the lotus not bloom?

Though there is no sweet fragrance in the flower,
let fragrance flow from our songs.
With His blessing, we will create a new world.

At the end of autumn,
in the frosty air,
why does the lotus not bloom ?

Today at dawn, autumn came.
Bathed in dewdrops, it came.

Why did it come, O why did it come?

To adorn You, it came,
bringing dahlias and chrysanthemums,
smiling in sheaves of golden paddy,
bringing sweet pomelos,
smiling and giving a touch of orange colour,
bringing the perfume of plum flowers,
smiling in the juicy dates, it came.

I remember the harvest festival day,
when we dedicate the harvest offerings to You.

The sky is full of countless stars.
The air is gentle and light and sweet.
The river is flowing in all directions.

With the offerings of harvest we remember You.

In space and water and land
everything is glistening today.
On every face, a smile of sweetness.
On every head, a crown of joy.

With the offerings of harvest we remember You.

You have come with the tremor of winter.
Who are You?
What is this beauty of Yours?

Covering the green fields with ice and snow,
who are You?
What is this beauty of Yours?

In the biting north wind,
on the leafless trees by the wayside,
You wrote an unknown message.

Alas, what is this deprivation?
What is this miserliness?
And what is this beauty of Yours?

The blizzard sends shivers through all of life.
The creepers and plants lose all their charm,
and all are singing an unknown song.

Amidst Your love, why this heartlessness?
And what is this beauty of Yours?

Covering the sandalwood lane with mist
and darkening the light of dawn,
You have come in a still newer expression.

Assuming such wondrous form,
covering familiar paths in darkness,
concealing all sweetness,
the winter season has come.

Bearing the pains of countless ages,
assuming such wondrous form!

Beyond the veil of deepest darkness,
the rays of light are suddenly suspended.
But only for a single moment
then the Lord of Light opens His eyes
and the black fog dissolves into limitlessness.

After winter,
light will flow,
still more beautifully than before.

Sending shivers down the lanes
of thorny date trees,
moist with dew,
winter has come with encrusted snow,
building new glaciers of ice.

The birds and animals rush away to faroff lands
to preserve their lives and enjoy warmth,
in the hope of finding a new sun.

The water lily no longer blooms with blushing sweetness.
Tell me, today, at whose call, in this chilly dawn,
did the beautiful earth became bare?

Winter came, like an ascetic yogi.

In winter, why does the night jasmine not bloom?
Why does the lotus not speak?

No, no, no, they do not speak at all,
for, they are shivering with cold.

And those who remain merged in Your thought,
their minds all long for You.

The earth today is internally gay,
perhaps it has recognized You.

The flower of mind has bloomed in countless ways
but all the blooms are buried in Your mind.

The winter has come,
bringing images of colourful flowers,
flowers without fragrance, without nectar,
and the pale light of the sun.

When the sun was near,
I thought in my mind,

"I cannot endure this unbearable heat
O awesome Lord, be gracious enough
To grant us the gift of rain showers!"

But now, in the pale light of the sun,
I think

"It was better when the sun was near."

Listen one and all, O listen,
the distant sun will again come near.
Do not be anxious!

In the cold of the earth,
in the pale light of the sun,
with the song of hope,
we paint pictures of a new time to come.

Come, O Lord, let us all move

blending our rhythms with Yours,

in the rhythm of dance,
spring comes and comes.

The fogshrouded trees now glitter with light
and again smile.
New flowers and leaves cover the earth's body
with ornaments of wildflowers,
spreading their disheveled hair all over the sky.

Spring rushes in the rhythm
of the purvasha* dance,
adorning nature with beauty
In this month of sweetness,
spring comes and comes.

Waves of sea breeze waft aloft.
The warm ocean laughs and smiles;
all departed charms return again.
The one who is the source
of this sweetness and splendor
in thoughts of Him the mind blissfully floats.

Today, in the vernal breeze,
on graceful feet,
I dance like a fountain.

With my colourful vision
I decorate the cloudless sky,
painting it with all my sweetness.

Today, I move and move in Your rhythm
and perfume myself with Your divine fragrance.
I move along in laughter and joy.
With palash blossoms, I colour the path crimson,
for You only, Lord of my innermost heart.

Today, no obstacles obstruct our path.
Into Your garland my heart is woven.
With Your melody my song is in harmony.

Today, in the cuckoo's sweet song,
my whole mind floats along.
And to the one towards whom it floats,
I offer my deepest salutation.

Today, in the vernal breeze
with playful footsteps
I dance on and on, like a fountain I dance.
In the cloudless sky, with decorated eyes,
I am painting with all

Today I am moving ahead in Your rhythm.
I am perfumed by Your fragrance
In a joyful spirit I am wandering.
O my dearest Lord!
For You I have coloured the path
with guelderroses.

Today I have no obstacles
for my onward movement.
My heart is threaded in Your melody.
Today, with the call of the cuckoo,
with the sweet song,
everything of mine floats away,
floats towards that divine one
to whom I give my salutations.

intoxicated with sweet fragrance.

In the distant sky the stars are smiling

and, with the warm current of life,
has awakened flower buds and removed all dullness.

On the earth there is only joy.
With the touch of life everything smiles,
and in His current everything flows.

In the grueling heat of the sun,
in the summer's scorching heat,
the jasmine, the white creeper,
and the soothing breeze,
bring at last some cooling freshness.

But the mind want still more coolness,
in the summer's sweltering heat.

The mango branches are laden with fruits,
the blackberries hang low on the branches
this terrible heat we can no longer endure.
The mind always thinks of the summer's scorching heat.

The fragrance of flowers in the cool night breeze
brings some relief but the mind wants more
in the summer's sweltering heat.

All the countless torments of countless lives
have collected together in summer
and the mind constantly calls
"O awesome Lord, send rain showers!",
in the scorching heat of the summer.

O Lord, whisper Your secrets into my ears.
The sufferings of all in summer
convey to me in Your songs,
in Your songs, in Your songs.

The flower blossoms have burned and dried,
and the unopened buds have fallen on the path.
The river's flow evaporates in the air.
Is this pain only mine, or shared by all creatures?

Lord, whisper into my ears.
The grass sprouts want to awaken,
but do not, for fear of the heat,
and the ice melts in the warmth, like tears.

In the summer holidays, if He comes,
I will offer Him flowers in my outstretched palms,
I shall offer flowers, only flowers.
In the crimson sky beside the groves of jasmine and magnolia.

If He comes on His rhythmic, rosy feet,
I shall offer flowers in my outstretched palms.

Even now the cuckoos sing a few notes.
in morning and evening when the sea breeze blows,
on branches of the kimshuka trees,
the papaya bird calls.
The rivers have dried up, almost all.

I shall offer Him flowers, in my outstretched palms.

The sharica indica flowers have almost all fallen.
The silk cotton trees are laden with seeds.
On the grapevine, clusters of grape hang low,
and in the bower of ma'dahavii flowers
swarms of black bees are humming around the blossoms.

I shall offer Him flowers in my outstretched palms.

In the summer holiday season, if He comes,
I will offer handfuls of flowers,
I will give flowers, only flowers.

In the crimson dawn sky
Your rhythmic crimson feet
remain beside the Bela
and Ca'mpaka flowers.
To Your rosy feet I will offer
handfuls of flowers.

Still the cuckoo speaks something.
In the morning and evening
the southern breeze blows.
In the branches of the Kin'shuka tree
the nightingale is calling.
The river bed has almost dried up.

Almost all the flowers of the
Ashoka tree have fallen.
The Sha'lmali tree is full of seeds.
The bunches of grapes
are growing in abundance.

Today, in the Ma'dhavi grove
in the cluster of flowers,
bees are humming
around flower blossoms.

in the agony of its loss of leaves?
In speechless silence it gazes on.

Today, what does the bamboo grove say?
In the storms of dust it lost its green beauty.
In the cane and kadamba groves,
the sweet spring breeze no longer blows.

O awesome Lord, what is this play of Yours?
This scorching fire? This heartless sport?
The skylark sings in this desert thirst:
"How far off is the sweet melody of rain?"

In the northeast the clouds have gathered
and a strong breeze is blowing
today violent storms have come.
Closing their window in fear of the thunder,
all are sitting indoors,
listening to the dance of the rain.

So many precious trees have been uprooted
and windswept fruits have fallen.
Loosing their nests in tempests and hailstorms,
the birds are weeping.

Just at midday, in the form of thunder,
the awesome Lord dances His wild dances
and ships at sea, in fear and dread,
toss and roll on the crests of waves.

On this earth each and every atom

You have filled with a flash of effulgence.

After the dust storms, all is now pale
and the green field's beauty has disappeared.
In the dry hot fields, in the withered grass,
You have imprinted the identity of the season.
You have come with the resplendence of Bhaerava.

The flow of the river has dwindled
and stars are floating in the cloudless night.
He whose divine sport is the cause of all
has come in summer in a special form.

who are You who came in Your ankle bells,
jingling sweetly like a hundred lyres,
adorning Your body with the lustre of clouds?

The palm trees today have dressed in new garments,
a gentle breeze spreads the pollen of screw pine flowers
and drifts towards the distant azure sky.

Today the frogs are croaking in joy
and the jasmine flowers are whispering secrets
while the blushing kaminii flowers are shedding their fragrance
and glance at You, again and again.

On a rainy night You came
in the garden of tuberoses.

Locking myself in,
alone with wounded feelings,
I sat in a corner of my small house
when You came in the garden of tuberoses.

Storm after storm howled,
pounding and dashing again and again.
Yet, the whole night You kept awake
with Your symphony in the garden of tuberoses.

The rains were pouring in torrential gusts,
sweeping and blowing in gale after gale.
Yet the whole night You kept awake,
drawn by the pull of love
in the garden of tuberoses.

In the stormy night You came
in the garden of tuberoses.
Unmindfully, I sat in my small closed room
and only the tuberoses knew You had come.

All the peacocks have started

In the deep, vibrant sounds from the lyres,
the world without rhythm
has found new life.

The fragrance of jasmine

All the peacocks have started

In the fragrance of the night jasmine

In the autumn morning I have treaded
a garland of night jasmine flowers washed in dewdrops.
With this desire alone, I have come.

I have threaded a garland of night jasmine flowers
when the white clouds were floating in the sky above,
as if covered with honey.

The smiling lilies and loti
swayed with fragrant bliss.
Sitting in that atmosphere, intoxicated with joy,
I threaded a garland for You.

But my garlands are not simply woven
by picking up fallen flowers,
for, mingled with each petal,
is a song of compassion and the love of the dawn.

The whole morning, neglecting all my work,
I have brought this garlands for You.
With a gentle laugh, with a heart full of love.

O unknown traveler!
You came all alone
at the end of the night
when the jasmine flowers fell.

Seeing my door closed,
You stood by the wayside.
My eyes were halfclosed in sleep,
some things I could see,
and some things I could not.

Then, You went away at dawn,
wet with mist at the end of night,
floating in the infinite void.

The jasmine creeper at my door
still carries the message of Your arrival.
Removing its drops of dew,
it remains awake, ever waiting for You.

If at that time I had opened my door
and whispered a word in Your ear,
on that autumn midnight,
I would have floated aloft
and mingled myself in Your melody.

O Traveler, You came alone at dawn.
When You arrived,
the shiuli flowers fell to the ground.

Finding my door closed,
You remained standing by the roadside.
My eyes were sleepy,
Some things I could see, some things not.
Then You left in the dewdrenched dawn,
disappearing into the formless.

The jasmine creeper at my door
still carries Your message.
As the morning dew disappears,
remains in me the hope of Your return.

If my door had been open,
I could have spoken to You
and merged myself in the flow of Your melody.

Autumn is not only floating on the rafts of white clouds.

Autumn comes in life, it comes in the mind.
Autumn enchants the world
and it smiles
in the innermost heart.

Autumn is not only in the aroma of pomelos.
Autumn is not only in the rhythms of the swaying kush grass.

Autumn comes in life,
it comes in the mind.
Autumn thrills the world,
and it smiles in the innermost heart.

Autumn, with Your enchanting melody,
has intoxicated the sky and the air.
With the nectar of the distant azure void,
it has coloured the life of this earth.

The rivers are full of water.
The verdant beauty of trees and plants,
have awakened golden dreams in all.

In the sweet and silvery clouds,
all hopes are drifting along awakened.
All rythms are rushing towards Him.
The autumn has intoxicated the sky and the air.

and all beings are filled with mirth.

The world has lost itself in joy.

Today, the fountain of effulgence is flowing.
In joy, the papiya bird bursts into song.
Today, with sweet jingling rose feet,
filling my life, who has come?

Today, a flood of nectar flows along.
In joy and delight the three worlds sing.
Today, all desires are drenched in sweetness.
Filling my mind, who has come?
The world has lost itself in joy.

One rotation is complete.
The days flow on,
the year passes by.

How many flowers have dropped down?
How many fruits have fallen?
The year passes by.

With what warmth did we sing our rhythmic songs!
With what pain did we cry a flow of tears!
The year was mingled with my life,
and now, today, it is gone,
into oblivion it flows.

Those who come,
go to depart
and those who depart,
go to return.

Those who float into the distant blue sky,
will return in newer and newer forms.
The year passes by.

One rotation of six seasons is complete.
The days flowed on, the year passed by.

How many flowers have faded away?
How many fruits have fallen off?
The year passes by.
With what agony and flowing tears
the year has mingled with my life!
Today it is gone,
into oblivion it flows.

Those who come, come to depart.
And those who depart, go to return.
Those who float into the distant blue sky,
will return in new forms.
The year passed by, one rotation is complete.

Nothing is now unmelodious

in this atmosphere

Your life, I will offer back to You.
With Your name, let me be intoxicated.

The tender new leaves are now fullgrown.
Their reddishness has now become green.
I want to dedicate myself to serving all,
with renewed vigour and fresh strength.

I shall no longer sing songs of despair.
I shall no longer think of my life as a burden.

with sweetest bliss,
let me carry Your message on.
Let new light dawn upon me.

In love and affection,
You are a father to us.
In our perfect little house,
let boundless love prevail always.

Wherever I look, I see only His form,
glittering both inside and out.
In the sky and in the air He floats,
shining in pure resplendence,
smiling in all the flowers.

With the magic of His sweetness,
He sings in unspoken words into all hearts.
With sweet vibrations
He comes in the cadence of dance.

How can I forget Him?
He who stirs the seven realms
and makes them swing and dance?

Whether I hide myself in mountain caves,
or conceal myself in the sky,
disguised in skyblue garments
wherever I go
He is already there,
surrounding all.

He smiles in the iris of the eye.
He smiles in the pupil of the eye.
The more I try to forget Him,
the more I remember,
the more I remember.
How difficult is it to live without Him!

Wherever I look, I see only His form.
He is inside me, glittering and laughing.

You came in the silent midnight
to enlighten the sky of my heart.
Though I had no merit, You still came
and taught me how to love,
to love all living creatures.

The more I feel I will forget You,
the more I am caught in Your embrace.
I cannot forget Your dangerous flute.

The flute that overflows the banks of my heart.
It fills me with laughter and removes all my tears.

Your dangerous smile,
Your bewitching smile,
Your bewitching flute.

In all seasons, on all days,
You are mingled in my existence.

In every atom and cell of my life,
my body in Your body,
my atoms in Your atoms,
You are merged in my mind,
You are merged in my entire mind.

You came in the silent midnight
to fill my all with Your effulgence.

You are like a black ribbon,
mingled in my braids
black merged into black.
You are in my cosmetic mark,
in the collyrium of my eyes.

You are so close, yet I cannot see You!
Why this unique sport,
why this game of hideandseek?
I do not understand.

My happiness knows no bounds;
I feel You so close.
I am always afraid lest I may lose You.
Why I am afraid, I do not know.
The more I decide not to worry,
The more and more I worry.
Why I worry, I do not know.

For ages You have kept me awake,
lightning the flame of my life,
unfolding the wings of my mind.
Come and stand before me, smiling,
with Your gentle steps, on Your rosy feet.

You are like a black ribbon,
mingled in my braids,
mingled in the black mole on my cheek,
mingled in every pore of my life.

In the sky and in the ocean,
in forests and fields,
in creepers and leaves,
He remains concealed.

In the autumn midnight
He fills the night jasmine with fragrance.

How can we forget the one,
whose beauty is the universal beauty?
We cannot forget Him.
We cannot forget Him.

How can we remain away from Him
whose light is the universal light?
We cannot, we cannot,
we can never keep away from Him.

If ever my fragrance bloomed like a flower,
on the branch of a beautiful forest tree,
He would surround me like a tender red leaf,
encircling me with His crimson radiance.

I want His embrace forever.
I never want to go far away.

In the sky and in the ocean,
in forest and fields,
in creepers and leaves,
He remains concealed.

All flowers,
blooming from dawn to midnight,
are filled with His blissful fragrance.

Where the sky and the ocean meet,

hold my hand and take me,
to that fardistant horizon.
Take me, O Lord.

I want to float in Your formless effulgence,
in Your transcendental melodies.
Whenever I decide not to see You in my mind,
I look and see You already seated there.

My body in Your body,
my atoms in Your atoms,
You are merged in my mind,
You are merged in my entire mind.

You came in the silent midnight
to fill my all with effulgence.

You are hiding in my mind
radiating Your effulgence secretly,
radiating Your effulgence secretly in my mind.

Then I look and see You already seated there
radiating Your effulgence secretly in my mind.

At dawn and at midnight, on all days,
You are everywhere,
inside and outside the deepest recesses of my heart.
So I am never alone.

O, I am never alone.
I am never alone anywhere.

that priceless name
without which my life would turn valueless.

How blissful is the name that entered my ear,
leaving a sweet touch in the core of my heart.
In the rhythm of that name, with sweetest bliss,
the overjoyed earth took shelter in Him,
swaying in the rhythm of His name.

In His current I am floating, floating.
In His effulgence I am laughing, laughing.
In Him I remain merged,
merged in Him I remain.

With the crimson colours of His light,
I shall colour Him.
His name I will spread throughout the universe
with sweet ideation.
I will spread His sweet name with sweet ideation.

The evening approaches with the sweet touch of sadness.
Holding the evening lamp,

come inside
and radiate light on all sides.

In the swinging of Your life,

With the magic of Your melody,

My overflowing heart constantly rushes towards You.

My overflowing heart constantly rushes towards You.

In the northeastern corner of my mind
countless clouds have gathered.
In the golden light of Your pure smile,
where did the clouds drift to?

Where did they drift to,
those clouds that had gathered?
O where did they drift to?

In the golden light of Your pure smile,
where did the clouds drift to?

In this brilliant crimson dawn,
please colour my mind.
Remove all my shame,
remove all my fear,
remove all my pettiness remove it all.
Remove all my pettiness.

In this crimson dawn, please colour my mind.
In the distant blue sky,

my mind constantly yearns for You.

You created countless waves of vibrations.

In Your melody the river flows,
in Your sweet resonance the deer gazes on.
With Your touch all atoms and molecules
vibrate in symphonic harmony.

The mind forgets space and time.
Everything rushes off,
rushes off beyond time and space.
Forsaking all momentum and all sentiment
forsaking everything,

O Lord,
You came from beyond the valley of darkness.
For aeons, I had been waiting for You,
night and day, night and day.

How many days passed by?
How many stars vanished from the skies?
Yet, I remained awake, waiting for Your advent.

Finally, You came to me on a blissful night
and fulfilled all my hopes,
with Your refulgent splendour.

In a sweet dream in the campaka grove,
I have seem Him in the mirror of my mind.

In the tranquil air and intoxicating fragrance,
with eyes filled with wonder,
I have seen Him on the banks of the stream.

From the invisible land the flower pollen drifts off
and to the invisible land it returns.

The peacock of my mind
sways through the blue sky,
and spreads out its fanlike tail.

On a moonlit night,
on a solitary path,
my heart, overflowing with love,
keeps dancing around Him.

A flood of light beyond light,
a neverending flood of light,
flows on eternally.

He, the source of light, loves me deeply.
His image resides in my mind.
At times He is so very close,
at times He is so far.

As He drifts along,
He vibrates all with songs and melodies.
The lotus in my mind blooms in numerous hues
and, full of nectar, rushes towards Him.

Come, come, O Lord, come into my heart!

With Your rosy feet and charming face,
with Your sweet and loving smile.

Your name thrills my heart,
I am coloured with Your colour.
In Your song, in Your dance,
everything of mine dissolves.

In deepest meditation,
my life is lost in You.

The unknown one, who I called again and again,
today appeared in my dream.
I secretly glanced at Him in the rainbowcoloured sky.

With the sweet jingling of ankle bells,
in pleasant, delightful contemplation of Him,
I have understood that He,
the unknown one, was residing in my eyes.

I learned everything about Him.
And yet, I now realise how little I really know about Him.

In pain and pleasure, unknowingly,
all long for Your Grace.
Come closer to me, come still closer.
All seek Your Grace.

You sympathize with the sorrows of all.
You are the eternal companion.
Your enchanting flute and sweet smile,
break all barriers,
and flood my heart with joy.

Beyond the ocean of darkness,
You are the effulgent light.
Of all loves, Yours is the greatest.
In Your rhythm all are dancing,
as if caught in the spell of a dream.

In creepers and plants,
in the pollen of flowers,
in the blue of the sky,
in the flow of streams,
You have spread Your sweet smile,

In the mountain caves,
in the bottom of the sea,
in every atom, in the depth of ideas,
You remain ever wakeful,
floating in the sweet blossom of mind.

in breathless expectation.

I will fulfill their hopes.
I will cause the stream of life to flow.

Removing tears, I will bring smiles.
Crying will cease and flutes will play.
On this earth will descend auspicious days.
Sorrows and pains will torment me no more.

Remember, this path leads to Him alone.

Amidst light, amidst the dancing light,
joining hands with all,
we move and we shall continue to move.
We shall lift by our hands those who are tottering.

We hear the rhythmic songs of their footfall.
We hear the beats of their hearts,

The one whom I eagerly want,
wants me too.
He stands at the farthest end of my path.

lie scattered throughout the universe.

They lie embedded in its every pore.

In the minds of all, in every atom,
He resides,
hiding from all.
However much we may look for Him outside,
we never see Him in the outer world.

We attain Him in love,
in devotion,

You came, O Lord,
to rouse me from slumber,
to lead me on along the path of consciousness.

Alas, forgetting You,
I was moving on a wrong path.
I could not keep myself on the right track.
Many a day had passed,
many evenings had come and gone,
many a night had passed in agony.

I could not follow the right path.
I could not move on the right track.

But today You have come in person
to guide me along the path of consciousness.
With Your gracious arrival,
all my pains and all my despairs,
are now over.

Without You Grace,
the boat of my life drifts in a shoreless ocean.

I don't want to listen to anything else.
I don't want to gain any further knowledge.
In only want You to come near me.
With outstretched hands
I catch hold of Your feet.

I fear the light of arrogance of action.
I detest the vanity of knowledge.
Come silently and sit beside me
in blissful attainment.

All action and all knowledge attain consummation in You.
Of all action and all knowledge,

You are the terminating point.
Once You are attained, everything is attained.

reverberate with His footsound.
The worlds vibrate with His divine vibration.

On the dazzling peaks of snowy mountains
and the high waves of the oceans
is imprinted His message only.

The leaves and creepers,
the soft lines of flowers,
the festival of colours in the recesses of our minds,
the last of the forgotten thoughts

are all vibrating with His vibration.

Hence, before my departure,
I send forth my clarion call to all:
O human beings, follow Him and Him alone.

long for Your divine shelter.

Peacefully grounded,

To whichever way I look,
I see only You.
I have come from You,
and to You only I return.

All Your divine sports,
all games of hide and seek
are directed unto You alone.

One who remains forgetful of You,
becomes deluded into selfoblivion.
Such a one loses himself/herself in Cimmerian darkness.

graciously fill the pores of every mind with hope.

Life ceaselessly moves on.
We continuously dance towards that formless self.

We did not come here to weep.
We came for rhythm and song.

The remote nebulae move through emptiness,
and the mind swings like a pendant.
Even dustmotes move at splitsecond intervals,
and from dying grasses new shoots emerge.

By my urge to live and the radiance of my spirit,
I move on,
trampling underfoot all pessimism.

I have lost my poem in the gardenia grove.
I concede defeat to the aroma of the gardenia.

Instead of diving within,
I am moving about externally.
I did not respect Your advice.

All pains embedded in the cave of my heart,
all unspoken words,
have vanished.

I cannot understand
whose fragrance brought about this transformation.

But I know,
my poems, my songs,
are not my own.

You brought nectar to flowers.
You gave melody to music.
You vibrated the universe
with the ocean of light's surging waves.

In the silent moonlit midnight,
You sung songs of spiritual awakening.
Into the caverns of Cimmerian darkness,
You poured new light.

You are everywhere.
You exist in every age.
You were in the past
and will forever remain.

From the inner core of minds,
You sing songs of limitlessness.
You lead everyone far beyond
the realms of mundane aspirations and attainments.

Come, O Lord,
come graciously into the temple of my mind.
I have prepared the altar for You.

Come from the world of formlessness
into the world of forms.
Come and sit close to me.

I hold and offer You
the burning lamp of my life.
I fill my basket of offerings
with mental fragrance.

The fullbloomed, hundredpetalled lotus of my life
is the flower arrangement I made for You.

Free from the pride of knowledge,
and the vanity of life,
I approach You with an unburdened heart.

Loosing the path in the ocean of darkness,
don't forget the polestar of your life.
Don't forget the formless one who keeps on dancing,
encircling darkness from beyond the ocean of staticity.

Keep everfresh flowers on the altar of your mind.
Fill it with a sweet smile bathed in dewdrops,
and see His radiance float in the vast void.

In the ocean of boundless spirituality,
there is neither prayer, nor asking, nor attainment.
Just keep on watching His Majesty

and saturate your heart with His radiance.

Forgetting You,
who is able to remain in this universe?
The world bubbles with vitality,
and glitters with Your august presence.

Forgetting You,
whatever we think
becomes mere imagination.

Forgetting You,
whatever we say
turns worthless.

Without Your touch,
all the earth's joyous smiles and lights
remain mere illusions.

In the attainment of Your blessing,
in receiving Your divine touch,
everything becomes sweet and pleasing.

Fill the pot of my heart to the brim.

In halfbloom,
the flower buds await Your light.

All celestial bodies of the distant void
speechlessly await Your divine melody.

With Your light,
with Your melody,
You bring new vibrations to the universe.

You love those who love You.
You also love those who love You not.

By exchanging macrocosm with microcosms,
You fill all beings with the elixir of life.

This lyre of my mind has lost its rhythm.
It produces music, only if He plays it.
Merging one's melody in His melody,
one will have to play the instrument.

In all expression, He smiles.
He persistently refuses to sit beside me.
The smiles of my heart drift away
towards an unknown, fardistant land.

He looks into my eyes,
eluding my grasp.
He leaves me behind,
dancing to the magic of melody.

In silent hours,
from within the core of my heart,
who calls me
in the language of songs?

He says,
come, come,
sit beside me.
Why keep away
at this odd hour?

Much time passed by.
Many a crimson dawn,
many a radiant evening,
vibrating with the surging waves of life,
faded away.

Why did You not come?
Why did You not sit beside me?
Why did You not respond to the call of those
who longed for Your response?

O Lord, You went afar.
With what magic
do You bind me today?
With what bond of flowers?

I am baffled and do not know what I should do.
I have decided to garland You.

In the stream of ideation,

You have woven a garland of songs,
anointing it with Your melody.

By the touch of divine life,
even burning meteors
seems as soothing as sandal paste to me.

By the cool green shade of divine life,
the desert thirst is forever quenched.

Today, all pains and agonies of life
lie mingled as if in a basket of soft flowers.

I wait and wait and look within.
And in the pleasant pains of my heart
I discover that You have poured on me
profuse love.

The lost melody of the beginning of my life
still sing its song in my heart.
It is full of colours and forms,
yet, due to shyness,
I do not sing it publicly.

O Brother, remove this shyness,
allow the bud of my mind to bloom.
By Your divine sport and illusory action,
make it bloom charmingly and beautifully.

The bud of my mind is covered with leaves.
It tries to peep out through the gaps between these leaves.

Today, forgetting all shyness and fears, I move forward!
I move ahead,

from the colourful earth,
towards the realm of formlessness.

O my Companion,
come into my small heart.

I have been waiting for You
for eras and eras.
Onto Your path, I have been looking.
Even though I know You exist everywhere,
I nevertheless pose as ignorant.

In ideas, You come and go.
Yet, I consider You limited within space.
No matter what I think,
by Your pull, I lose myself in You.

Spread Your effulgence on my mental screen.
Play on Your lyre the enchanting cha'ya'nat' tune.
Stay, O my Companion, with a smile of sweetness.

I eagerly await You,
merging my rhythm into Yours.

__________________________

Come, my friend, into my little heart.
I have been waiting for Your arrival for eras and eras.

I know that You are everywhere,
yet, I do not realise it.
You come and go and I mistake You
as an entity of this relative world.
Whatever I may think of,
You pull my mind
and let it merge in You.

Spread Your effulgence
in the lamp of my mind.
Play Your viina' in the cha'ya'nat' raginii.
Take Your seat, my dearest friend,
with a charming smile.

I have remained awake,
waiting for You for ages,
merging my rhythm into Yours.

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

In the moonlit night,
why does the cakor bird smile?
What does the honeybee,
coming into my mental garden,
convey by its buzzing?

Whatever the peacock,
perched on the branch of a tree, says,
tell me.

If You so desire,
flowers will bloom on dry branches
and the dumb will speak.

The morning sun's crimson glow
fills vitality into each particle.
The colourful form of the evening sun
awakens within me a new consciousness.

What a divine game of Yours is this,
providing evernew experiences?
An impression of love has filled my mind
and marked my life.

In the physical and psychic worlds,
all adore You in deepest contemplation.
___________________________________

In Your songs,
I always keep my mind's eye awake,
my Beloved Friend.
Through the stream of Your melody,
day and night,
I find You in the core of my heart.

In the red luster of the crimson dawn,
my heart is filled up to the brim.
The colourful picture of the evening sun
awakens within me a new consciousness.

What kind of play (Liila) is this?
Ever new feelings, draw lines of love
in my mind and in my heart.

The people of heaven and the people of the
earth welcome You in their dhyana.

By His wish anything becomes possible
on this dusty earth.

If the river wants to flow from the estuary
to its source on the mountain,
it is possible by His wish.

If He wants, He can dissolve the earth within a moment.
If He wants, heat can be brought over icecapped mountains.
If He wants, on stonewalls, flowers will bloom.

If He wants, dark nights will radiate light.

O dear Friend, come and stay in my contemplation,
I adore You wholeheartedly.
Do not remain far, surrounding me with fog.

My Companion told me He would return
and then left.
But He did not return till today.

With jingling lyre strings,
He told me to abandon the crooked path
and search for the straight path.

Yet, I wandered about endlessly
forgetting the Supreme Desideratum.
I did not move on that illuminated straight path
in the first place.
Attachments prompted and pulled me.
I forgot the essence of the instruction conveyed to me
to search the truth.

Today light shines forth from all sides
telling me to closely remain on the right path.

O Lord, in return for Your unlimited,
immeasurable love,
alas, what have I given You?

With both hands, I have taken everything,
I did not learn to give, I only learned to take.

You filled my life with flowers,
fruits, beauty and taste.
You blessed me with intellect, radiance and sweetness.
You gave me more than I deserved.

Now, please grant me only this much:
the right and strength
to hold You in my heart.

O my Companion in pain
all the sweetness of my life,
I offer unto You in abundance.
_________________________

What have I offered to You
in exchange for Your unbounded and fathomless love?

I haven't learnt how to offer.
I have learnt only how to accept from You.

You have overfilled my heart with flowers and fruits,
forms and flows.

Intellectual brilliance, sweet charms;
You have offered more than I wanted.

Pray, only give me the right to say this much:
that I have always held You in my bossom.

O Lord, my Eternal Friend in adversity!
All the nectar of my mind, I pour out unto You.

With enchanted eyes,
I was observing

and melodious nectar.

Today my mind is lost in Infinity.
It has shaken off all binding attachments.

By attaining You,
I attained all,
and became filled with overwhelming bliss.

O Brother, come and intoxicate all!
Let everyone dance to Your rhythm and melody.

Days are coming and going.
Whereto they go, nobody knows.

Sometimes consciously
and sometimes unconsciously,
they drift away;
at times in sleep,
at other times even in an awakened state.

Where was I?
When did I come?
What for did I come?
I have forgotten it all.

I only know that He is mine.
My wants, He knows best.
My purpose and all arrangements,
are all being taken care of in His mind.

On that silent night with You,
many untold dialogues had been left pending.

Why do thousands of thorns reside in floral gardens?
Why does the stream follow a rugged path?

Why does the lotus blooms in dirty, stinking water?

Why does a dark path appear on this joyful earth?
On this creation,
anointed with colourful dreams
of love and affection
why does the shadow of destruction dance?

Why do ego and pride forcefully
need to learn to surrender unto Your feet?
___________________________________

On a still night,
I am yet to convey many unspoken things to You.

Why are there countless thorns in a rose garden?
Why do streams flow along rugged paths?
Why does the lotus, full of fragrance bloom in turbid waters?

Why does the earth, full of smiles, revolve in a dreary orbit?
Why does the shadow of death dance over the entire creation,
bubbling with love, compassion and colourful dreams?

Why do pride and vanity abjectly surrender to Your feet?

Come to me with each breath I take.

Sit close and stay beside me.
Fill my mind with fragrance.
Who else is mine exept You?
Who else listens to me?

There is no other to whom,
in solitude, I can covey my secrecy.

O Brother, continue singing,
and fill the air with fragrance.

With a gentle smile,
take away from me
all that is mine.

When He went away to a distant place,
tears of affection overflowed in my eyes.

In the end, my dear Companion
had made me understand,
our secret love for one another.

Tell me, tell me, have You forgotten all that?

He never came afterwards,
He did not speak a word.
Has He forgotten my inner pain?

But I am unable to forget His memory,
which still is stirring my mind.

Should I remember or not,
with what floral garland
He had tied me?

Waiting to listen to Your footsteps
by the path You would arrive,
I have remained watchful for eras.

You had given me a floral garland..
now, only its thread remains,
all flowers have withered away.

Days are coming and going in the game of time,
even the nights are intensely illusively dark.
I am looking for Your arrival from all sides,
counting time every single moment.

This tiredness of eager waiting,
this pain of endlessly counting time
When will it be over? Tell me.

O Lord, when You came I became lost in You.
I cannot forget that incidence.
Your sweet attraction and charm,
rhythmically swayed on to and fro.

By diving deeply into the ocean of forms,
I found the formless jewel.

Like a begger who, in his imagination,
puts on a royal crown,
so I, likewise, by singing Your name,
become absorbed in Your ideation.

Through concentration and meditation,
day and night,
my spiritual effort finds fulfillment.

through the laughter of the youth
and through the enchanting beauty of the earth.

Continue singing Your affectionate words to all, O Lord.

You dance in every particle.

In dream I found You,
In dream I became introduced to You.
In dream I loved You,
In dream I understood You.

O embodiment of consciousness!
You are the candle flame in each life.
You resonate in all lyres.

You are the fragrance of every flower.
You are the coolness of sandalwood.
You are the murmur of the dense forest
and the sweetness of honey.
You are the water fountain on the dry desert path.

Continue spreading forth
Your pole starlike effulgence!

O my Eternal Companion,
my Dearest One,
You are the essence of my life.

By Your form, affection and attachment,
my mind expands.
I float on in the flow of Your imagination.
By Your name and song, I merge into Infinity.

O my Innermost One,
You are infinite intuition.

In the intense heat of summer,
You provide coolness.
In snow and ice,
You are the warmth of my life.

Come, come closer,
sit on the throne of my heart.
And sooth my every pain.

O Lord, always stay with me,
so that I may forever hold Your feet.
Never go away.

During storms and cyclones,
and during my inner pains
play Your Divine melody for me.

Within Your shade (shelter), all remain happy.
By contemplating You, all forget their pains.
I shall keep holding Your feet.
I will not let loose.
I want to continue feeling Your sweet touch.

Do not keep in Your mind my faults,
I am Yours.
Do not make me become restless,
remaining separated from me.

Why are your eyes full of tears?
It is not the rainy season;
so why do you cry?
I am the same as always,
dancing with joy in radiant light.
So why do you cry?

Vrajava'sii:

We have heard that You are going away
and leaving us.
You are going to Mathura'.
Thinking about this,
with painful hearts we are crying.

Krs'n'a:

To restrain the moralists,
to protect the good people,
I am determined to go to Mathura'.
You should know by now that mentally
I am always with you in Vrindavana.
_____________________________

Krs'n'a:

All of you have tearful eyes,

and leaving us.
Thinking of that separation,
our hearts are restless.
That is why we are weeping.

For the suppression evil and for protecting the good,
I am certainly going to Mathura'

but within each and every mind of this place, Vrindavan,
I am always present

know it every moment.

Listen, listen, O humans of the earth!
An unknown traveller has come.
In His eyes shines a glow of love.
Who knows what message He speaks?

In the rhythm of dance,
He moves along.
With the magic of melody,
He binds all.

Come one and all!
Just see, just see how charming He looks!

Resonating the sound of jingling bells
into everyone's ears,
Spreading rays of effulgence into everyone's lives,
He speaks:

"Look ! I have brought a bucketful
of the nectar of immortality
to distribute to the world."
____________________

O inhabitants of the world, listen!
An unknown traveler has come!

Listen to what is He saying
with eyes full of affection
calling each and everyone.

With rhythmic steps of dance He is moving.
He goes on binding all
with the enchanting thread of melody.

Look! All of you, look!

He is adorned with an attractive outfit.
With the jingling sound of ankle bells,
whispering (melodies) in each and every ear,
radiating effulgence into all lives,
He says :

"Look, I have brought overflowing nectar
to dissolve unto this earth."

Krs'n'a:

To kill Kam'sa and to save the moralists,
I must go to Mathura.
I am going for a benevolent task,
so listen all
bid me goodbye with a smiling face.

Vrajava'sii:

We cannot do this with a smiling face
to let our souls go to hell!
We lay down in front of Your chariot;
we will not let You go.

Krs'n'a:

O, my attendant! Drive the chariot upon them.
I must go to Mathura today;
however dear to me they may be,
I cannot let them stop me from doing my duty.
________________________________________

Krs'n'a:

For anihilating the demonic exploiter Kam'sa,
and to protect the virtuous modest,
I shall certainly go to Mathura'.
So listen all,
I am going for an auspicious task,
bid me farewell smilingly.

Vrajava'sii:

We can do this smilingly,
permitting the moon to be swallowed by the demon.
We lie down on the path of the chariot,
we will not allow You to go under any circumstances.

Krs'n'a:

O charioteer, drive the chariot upon them,
I must go to Mathura' today.
However dear to me they may be,
possessing austere endeavor,
I cannot tolerate obstruction by them.

I am very busy with innumerable works,
so I don't have time to accept the redsweet paint.
O my minister, tell them to go back to Vrajabhumii.

Vrajava'sii:

You have spoiled our everything,
You have poured ashes on our hearts.
Out of bondage of duty
we are leaving for Gokul to start Your work.
___________________________________

Vrajava'sii:

Our hearts are restless for a glimpse of our dear Krs'n'a.
Taking much pain and with big expectations, we have come.
With much effort, we have arranged the colours

Kris'n'a:

I am busy with innumerous activities;
I do not get time for colours.
O secretary, explain to them,
tell them to return back to Vrajabhumi.

By Your refusal, all our hopes have failed.
With tears in eyes , like orphans,
we are proceeding to Gokula for Your work.

O, Na'rada! Listen:
I can be cured from this illness,
if I can get the dust from the feet of my devotee.
In the part of the world where those devotees still hide
watch secretly!

Na'rada:

What to do?
No one is ready to give the dust from their feet for Krs'n'a!
Everyone is telling me,

"We don't want to hear those words of sin!"

O, my dear devotees of Vraja,
can you please tell me
where I should go to save Krs'n'a?
Being afraid of incurring sin,
nobody is ready to give the dust of their feet
in this critical situation.

Vrajava'sii:

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

Krs'n'a:

O Na'rada, listen, this pain of mine
can be eliminated only by the feetdust of my devotees.
Go to different corners of the world and observe secretly,
such devotees are hiding even today.

Na'rada:

What a pitiable condition,
no one wants to give their feetdust for our beloved Krs'n'a.
All tell me that such bad words they will not even listen.
O Vrajava'sii brothers, under this troublesome condition,
tell me where I should go, how can I save my dear Krs'n'a.
Due to fear of sin no one wants to shed their feetdust.

Vrajava'sii:

We do not know whether we are devotees or not,
O Great Sage, we never heard of such event till today.
We are not afraid of sin,

with courage we offer our feetdust
for our beloved Krs'n'a.

of unknown tunes.

In the frenzied wind
and in the soft sky,
I contemplate Your beauty.

In the external world,
in rhythms and songs,
nobody did remain with me.
Nobody was there
to wipe tears off my eyes
when I cried in pain and agony.

In the dark night,
on a solitary path,
I found You ever accompanying me.

Leaving me behind (alone),
everyone else went away.
Now, this false love vanished.

Throughout all atrocities,
You remained with me.
That is why, wholeheartedly,
I catch hold of You.

The honeybee came close,
and, buzzing around me, told me a message.

(It told that) You were sitting alone
and were expecting my call,
(It asked) why I had forgotten about it?

Nobody in life can ever forget You,
be it consciously or unconsciously.

O Lord, with all You are everpresent
in dream, in sleep or in the awakened state.

Even after seeing, we (consciously) overlook,
and do not admit our mistake.
Thus knowingly ignoring,
we go on floating (in the void) unable to find an abode.

Days come and go, and never return.
Whereto they go, we do not know.
Affectionate words painfully vanish into oblivion.

O Lord, remain in the core of my heart,
and, speaking mentally to me,
continue staying even after all others have left.

You had ignored me and sent me onto this earth.
Do You remember?

Today, by Your divine sport and by Your grace,
I could hold You in my mind and in my life.

O Lord, You have come.
Like a peacock unfolding its tail,
You have spread Your effulgence
into the vast blue sky.

By Your touch
my hopeless life,
found new light.

By the tinkling sound of ankle bells
the three worlds have awakened.
Now that You have allowed me to hold You,
come still closer, sit still closer beside me.

I have no energy nor devotion to display.
All I can offer is my wholehearted surrender
and pranam (salutation).
By accepting these, provide fulfillment to me.

I keep on dancing on Your path.
In dream I float on towards that arena,
unobstructed, like a thornfree flower.

In the high tide of ideation,
I keep on smiling.
No low ebb ever attains me.
In the stream of life,
I rush towards You.

By Your blessing and to Your pleasure,
equipped with intuitive knowledge,
I remain absorbed in the play of life.

O Lord, You were so much of my own.
I could not understand this.
You were so close to me.
Why then, did I not call You?

You were within all my actions,
rhythms, songs and melodies.

Even today the jingling of that lyrestring resonates.
I did not listen to it before.

During the deep darkness on my path,
Your memory arised in my mind time and again.
I caused You injuries and agonies,
You left and went far, far away.

Why did not I catch Your feet then?
Why did not I hold You in my heart?

______________________________

How close to me You were,
I did not feel before.
You were very near to me,
why did I not call You?

You were in all my works,
in rhythms, songs and tunes.
That viina' is still sounding,
I did not hear it before.

On the road of my life,
in the dense darkness,
again and again, that memory
comes into my mind.

With pain You kept Yourself away
leaving me far behind.
Why did I not hold You in me heart then?
Why did I not keep You in my dhyana,
removing all hesitations?

Today, come into my heart

Jingling bells are ringing again in sweetest melody.
My formerly painfilled life,

started dancing again, filled with rhythm.

Today, the earth became full of beauty,
taste and floral fragrance.
With an intoxicating breeze in the soft sky,
the earth is dancing.

Those who are away come nearby!
Ride on this tide full of joy.

Why He is far, I am unable to say.
Why He came, that too, I am unable to understand.
The One I wanted most, has arrived onto this dusty earth.

_____________________________________________

The sound of Your ankle bells is ringing again,
ringing again the sweetest melody.
My painful heart begins to dance in perfect rhythm.

The beautiful flower with its sweet scent fills the earth today.
The sky is cool, the air, intoxicating; the earth, replete, ...
Those who are far come closer, come into this flood of bliss!

Why He was far, I cannot say.
Why He has come, I do not understand.
The One I wanted, has come unto this dusty earth.

has made a new melody resonate.

For such a long time I kept on calling You
but only now You heard me.

Why do not You come closer without being called?
Why do You wait for someone's call?
Why do not You speak out without being asked to do so?
Why wait for someone to ask You?

What a new and strange system of Yours is this?
Why do You continue doing Your work in a deceptive way?

Whatever You want, that only I shall do,
I always strive at acting as Your instrument.

So many people come and go,
yet all are moving within You.
By Your melody and form,
You maintain all on Your lap.

In this universe created by You,
many come and again leave.
Yet, no one ever remains lost.

In Your divine show
the clouds were beautifully displaying themselves.

The holy memory of that day
still brings shivering to my being.
How many days, how many eras
have since passed?
Into how many colours
has the earth since then turned?

The lost melody of bygone days
still intoxicates my mind.
Everyone comes and goes
You only are eternal.

You were present in the past,
You are present now
and You will forever be present in future.

In the rain of that day, I attained You.

my vitality swings.

Today, my heart resembles the ketakii (screw pine) flower

remaining standing emptyhanded in solitude.

And yet, that fragrance spreads out across the blue sky.

To the agony of a withered pollen, do You not listen?

Even after seeing floods of tears streaming down my eyes,
You deliberately avoid me.

Don't forget that by Your songs, I move towards You.

Even though You are aware
of the misery and hear the agony
of those who love You

You do not pay heed to it.

My mind goes on floating through the moist wind,
absorbed by the fragrance of the campaka (magnolia) flower.

That Unknown Companion
has poured all the sweetness of His heart into it
and keeps on calling me.

Why does He remain in faroff places?
Why does He not come near?
Why does not He look towards me?
Why does He continue dancing from afar?

Despite He keeping Himself hidden,
I reach Him by His own song and rhythm.

No, no, He is not far away,
He continues loving me in all circumstances.
He stays close to me in pain and happiness.
His sweet smile secretly remains with me always.

Though unacquainted, He is not unknown,
His divine game (liila'),
I have now well understood.

O Lord, on that rainy night,
with dancing steps,
You came and illuminated my heart.

To the continuous jingling sound of ankle bells,
You permeated my mind with a melody
full of sweetness and overwhelming love
and destroyed my dark attachments.

Your sweet affectionate eyes
were filled with beauty
and Your enchanting voice
conveyed the message of an unknown world.

You frequently called me.
You poured nectar onto me.
You intoxicated me with Your soft smile.
You imparted instructions to me.

In the entire world,
no other have I found
who loves me (more).

O Lord, the altar has been arranged for You.
A garland has been threaded for You.

Today I am alert.
Come gently into the temple of my mind.

A lamp has been lighted
to welcome Your arrival.

Come smilingly..
Today I seek Your grace.

I shall continue moving on with You,
merging my colour into Your colour,

awakening a new consciousness within all.

I will live in everyone's heart.
All are mine, nobody is outcast.
We all came to this world

colouring the blooming pala'sh grove firered?

On observation, in my mind,
He appears to be known.
Unknowingly, I have loved Him
and lighted a flame in His colour.

My heart is absorbed in His ideation.
It goes on dancing towards Him.

Without understanding good or bad,
I have found the touchstone.
In frenzy, the secret treasure of mind,
was attained this spring.

O my Eternal Companion,
can You tell me, where You exist?

Why are You calling me
through a game of light
and a festival of beauty?

Sometimes from within the depths of mind,
sometimes with a loud voice
and sometimes by whispering into my ears?

You call me with a voice full of sweetness,
ignoring my mean thoughts.

By pouring divine nectar unto me,
You made me forget myself.

You turned the agony of a deep darkness into light.

by singing Your name and songs,
I have lost myself.

By Your colour and form,
in the dark night,
a fountain of moonlight has appeared.

Today, with tides of joy,
the three worlds flow on and on.
From their core,
sweetness rushes forth in hundreds of flows.

By Your touch and immense happiness,
the string of life today lost itself in Infinity.

Who would want to return to the past
when the world today floats in a flood of light?

Today, with Your arrival,
all fervidity is full of You,
leaving behind the past.

I shall express to You
the hidden agony of my heart.

Why in this world,
does screaming appear
beside pleasure and joy?

Why do happiness and momentary light
suddenly vanish away under a dark pull?

Why do You not respond to the call of those
who continuously aspire for You?

Why do flowers whither away with the ebb
after a high tide?

full of lively earnestness.

The external world invited me by its attractions.
I ignored that inner call, that inner voice.

Today I move on, inspired by that (inner) longing.
By an affectionate and gentle song from within
that lost sweetness has been regained.

took place at the golden shore of the ocean.

With a flood of light,
You arrived at my mental plane.

You came in the silent night
with the tinkling of the lyre string.
The sky was full of poems,
and I charmingly got hold of You.

You became mine in dream..
Why did not You come to me in the awakened state?
Why did You not illuminate my entire existence,
accompanying me in pain, pleasure and distress?

O Lord, neither arrival nor departure,
ever occurs in Your case.
I know it very well and won't accept it.

For You there is no reception nor farewell.
I have observed this fact very well.
I won't say otherwise.

Hidden within all development,
also lies the seed of destruction.
In this way, the eternal divine game
forever goes on in the Cosmos.

Not wanting the smile of Your two eyes to last forever,
You ignite the fire of destruction in the third eye.

Next to the light of creation,
a dark shadow appears;
both light and darkness are within a single You.

He has spread a beautiful effulgence.
He has coloured the entire universe
and poured light into life.

He told that no one belongs to others.
He wants to take all along with him.
I only love and smile and go on dancing
towards Infinity.

He has illuminated all minds.
He realized the pain and agony of all
and consoled everyone.
He crossed the ocean of effulgence
and enchanted all minds.

O Lord, unknowingly,
from area to area,
I have loved only You.

By Your force, I move on
with tremendous speed.
I move forward without dullness.
Innumerous days and nights have passed,
yet, there is still no deviation from the path.
My eyes are ever open.

Today, I find You closer to me
in a sweet and enchanting adoration.
Today, all my pains have dissolved

O Lord, I am offering my life to You,
what else do You now expect from me?

By attaining You,
all my hopes and love have today been fulfilled.
Only to listen to Your footsteps
I have remained ever awake for eras, day and night.

I have been threading evernew garlands soaked in tears.
In the eastern sky light shines forth with a gentle smile.
That smile, O Lord, is full of forms and colours.

_______________________________________

I offer my life unto You.
Will You now look benignly at me?
All my hope and love are centred around only You.

I am ever awake, listening for Your gentle footsteps.
I keep weaving ever new and fresh garlands

and drench them with my tears.

The eastern horizon is radiant with a flood of light.
It betokens a gentle smile of Yours,

full of sweet forms and colours.

O Lord, by what name should I call You?
How is Your worship to be conducted?

What is the utility of flowers and fragrance
when all is the display of Your imagination?

You are beyond all worlds,
You remain above everything.
All entities reside within You.

With what accessories should I worship You?
In which temple should I establish You?

You exist amidst all living and nonliving entities,
You exist in fire, in wind,
in heaven, in hell
and in the vast blue sky.

There is neither invocation
nor relinquishment for You.
No mantra can ever bind You.

O Lord, please come in the lustre of beauty,
in the intense flow of light.
Fulfill my realisation,
colour my mind in Your radiance.

You are beyond this universe.
You are present everywhere,
You are the shelter of my thoughts.
I work for You, I meditate on You.
And thus, I am eternally replenished by Your light.

Don't keep me away.
Raise my consciousness with Your rhythmic tune.
So that I may never feel,
the pain of loss.

__________________

O Lord, come, spreading beauty and effulgence!
Come in illuminating fulfillment of my realisation.

Beyond the world and constituent of the world,
You are the pabulum of all thoughts and ideations.
I continue doing Your work,
I meditate on You in evernew arenas.

Never leave me aside.
Fill my consciousness with rhythmic melodies,
So that I do not shake
by the agony of defeat.

O Lord, You are beyond the world
and yet, You are within it,
why then, do I keep on searching?

In the fire, in the air and in the great blue sky,
by Your grace, everyone has been sweetly touched.
You are the origin of all inspirations,
and of all beauties of all that is created.

Your Grace overwhelms me.
I remain absorbed in that ideation.
You remain alert each moment
in the deep recesses of every mind.

That is why,
searching for You outside,
would be a waste of time.

O Lord, hiding within the mind,
You continue playing Your divine game (liila')
(in the outside word).

My mind appears to have held You,
yet, You are not caught.
Your game comprises pain and pleasure,
it includes innumerous honours and dejections.
The dancing time plays on.
Whereto does it flows away?
Explain this to me.

Perhaps You do not realise my earnestness,
as I do not look within.
Now, my time just drifts away.
Today, I am alone, lost in darkness.

Piercing the bosom of a dark night,
radiate a colourful effulgence upon me.

It is now time to return home.
I arranged a bouquet of flowers
and threaded a garland for You.

Whatever I took, was still less
than what I gave in comparison.
And what I got, was beyond comparison
in beauty, fragrance and taste.

This teardrenched garland is for Him whom I loved.
I go on moving forward, propelled by a past memory.
That sweet memory, that everlasting song
how can I ever forget it?

In a silent moment,
I found that unseen God,
secretly in my life.
In my mind, I could hold Him.

I did not know how close He was.
Even before knowing Him,
I had sung His praise.
By His effulgence,
I became acquainted with Him.

He had been secretly residing in my mind.
How He bound me with a floral thread
and captured my entire being, I do not understand.

His eyes gazed deep into the core of my heart
and induced in it a nectarial flow of forms and colours.

With smooth steps You came near me,
and through the soft breeze,
spread forth a floral fragrance.

Although I had nothing to offer You,
You nevertheless came into my desertdry heart
and quenched its thirst.
By showering Your uncalled grace upon me,
You cleared all dirt from my mind.

By Your sam'giita (song, instrumental play and dance)
all are absorbed in charming

By Your touch, inert wood becomes alive,
In this creation, You are the first and the last word.
In Your pleasure, all forget their pains.

Attaining You, my enchanted heart
lost itself to some unknown realm.

that You are full of such plays.
Thus, You make me float on
in that ocean of games
at each and every moment of my life.

On an inauspicious night,
in the garden of the night queen,
a storm had raged
and not spared my mind.

You did not come.
You remained indifferent.
Hit by the storm, buds of flowers dropped untimely;
and even the fragrance of those flowers that were blooming
vanished with the moonlight.

Alas, despite all this, You did not come.
Forgetting me, where were You?
In what thought were You absorbed?

Hit by the storm,
the strings of the lyre of my mind got broken.
My entire jingling note found an end,
and yet, You did not come.

To which unknown isolation
did You remain confined, oblivious of me?

O Lord, You came on my mental lotus,
disseminating Your flood of light in hundreds of flows,
arousing in my heart the rhythm of a new song (storm).

Do not go away,
sit close beside me,
in rhythm and dance.

Searching You, my heart becomes restless.
In my mind, the melodic flow of a new tune has arisen.
I always fear to find myself

a defeated emperor without his crown.

In quiet solitude, stay with me.

From the depths of my heart...
a song, I shall sing for You.

O my Lord!
You came to me after years and eras.
Why did You forget me?
Please tell me.

So many days have passed.
So many songs without melody
have been sung.

After such a long time,
You graced me,
showering a fountain of blessings upon me.

So many seasoncycles came and went
with the rise and fall of life's flow.
So many arrivals and departures
have I had to witness.

O Lord, Your touch brought a fresh tide
into my consciousness.
Your joy brought heavenly effulgence into this world.

Whenever I look into this great blue sky,
I find no other than You.
You remain in the soft breeze of my mental spring.

Today, I find everything merging into You,
I do not want what I formerly desired.
From the deep and secret garden of my heart
I am pouring out into the world,
what once had remained hidden.
In Your new melody, my love for You overflows.

I attained You in exchange for all.
I know You as the only essence.

O Lord, with a unique decoration of forms,
You have maintained Yourself disguised
within Your own divine game (liila').

You have merged Yourself in Your own
song, melody and rhythm.

Whatever I see when opening my eyes widely,
whatever conclusion I derive by reasoning and contemplation,
in the depth of it all,

You exist hidden,
absorbed in a flow of sweetness.

Within the darkness of pain, Your light remains ever present.
Within losses, the reattainment of new forms is found.
Within negativity, Your positivity persists over and above.

Your light puts an end to all pains.

O Lord, You came with the thunder of clouds
and heavy rains.

In You, the heated and fatigued earth
today found new consolation.

The peacock tail of my mind
goes on dancing in hundreds of rhythms.

The languagedevoid dialogue found new speech
and now flows on towards Infinity.

Attaining You,
my heart today overflows.
In all ten directions,
I find a stir of effulgence.

Today, there is nothing left for me to do.
Lost in enchantment,
I merely contemplate Your form.

Today, the hunger of all three worlds
and the nectar of all three realms
merged into one.

Ever since You awakened my consciousness,

By Your love,
in this new melody of my life's dusk,
I become submerged into a fragrance of sweetness.

O Unmerciful One!
What is this game of Yours?
Is it a new play of cheating in love?

You went away,
yet, day and night,
You remain ever awake in my mind
why is this so?

No matter how much I try to forget You,
I am unable to forget You.
Wherever I look at,
the reflection of Your memory shines forth.

Why did You tie me unto You
with a jingling melody,
using the strings of my psychic lyre?

Please pause a while on the corner of my house

O King of my mind,
provide impulse to me!
Make me move forward in all my actions.

By Your inspiration and propulsion,
the river of my mind

Let me merge in Your harvest.
Let me advance
through memory and contemplation.

Moving forward,
I will not look back.
All actions and the entire world belong to You.

Sitting on the royal bird,
the prince flew through the sky,
unto some unknown destination.

Wearing a goldthreaded blue turban on his head,
he vanished away.

Seven brothers,
resembling campa' flowers,
rushed towards me.

They asked me
where their sister,
a pa'rul flower,
had disappeard to.

The prince, on his bird,
brought the sister back to her brothers.

The seven brothers sat on seven seats,
eating in seven plates,
in the prince's company.

The sister had applied on their forehead,
a ceremonial ritualistic mark.

and calls out aloud in my mental forest.
In my mental arena,
the pollen of kadamba flowers float on,
mixing with the pollen of life.

Today's festivity lies centered around You.
You pervade all environments.
In salutation to You,
the bamboos in the bamboo groves
bend down in hundreds of ways.

Bunches of lotus flowers,
dance sweetly on waves
gently expressing their love.

You are the king of this grand festival,
adorned in an enchanting royal dress.

The smile on His face speaks of love.
His two eyes are full of affection.

That stealer of my heart,
displayed external harshness on me.
Yet, my mind longed to look at Him more and more.

No matter how much I told him
that I would forget Him,
He repeatedly told me to forget Him
and not to turn my eyes on Him.

Unable to forget Him,
I kept my eyes open,
discarding all shyness
I remained intoxicated.

Irrespective of how often I told him
that I would not give Him anything,
He repeatedly told me
that He did not expect anything.

I could not hold back
and, overwhelmingly,
offered my all in meditation.

Such a gamut of games You play with me so
In countless delightful ways You joyintoxicate my mind.

Nothing is done in secret
For in each act You exist
No thought is private
For to You none is unknown.
In Your play divine
The universe dances
Clinging in eternal adoration
To Your feet.

Floods of laughter You shower
And a deluge of torrential tears
Beams of exuberant joy
And the heartrending pangs of pain.
I love You
Knowingly, unknowingly
For Your songs of love
Are strewn across the cosmos.

Come O Lord, come into my mind
Banish my pain
And inundate me in a torrent of delight.

The world drifts
on the mellifluous tinkling
of Your ankle bells.
With Your lyrical call
I tingle in joy.
Come O Lord
In my meditation
Come claim Your sacred seat in my heart.

Bathed in Your joy all sing Your praise.
Mind's peacock breaks into a prance
Into a hundredfaceted dazzling dance.
Look O my Lord
Look lovingly at my face.
Come my Lord
And claim Your sacred seat in my heart.

Come O my Lord in rhythmic dance
Come in my heart, come in my life
Cast at me Your blissful glance
Smile that sweet smile which regales the world
and joyintoxicates my mind.

Shine golden my life
My desolate life
My stonelike life, so dark, so dry.
Come O Lord in rhythmic dance
Come in my heart, come in my life.

In the stagnant and turbid pool of my life
Release Your fresh flow of waters sweet
Dispel my dark pains in the flood of Your light
and dye me in the radiance of Your dawn.

In the realms of countless worlds
in the blinking of every entity
You have scattered Your divine touch.
You bathe the entire universe in unbounded joy.

Your sweetness pervades all
the animate and inanimate
manifest and unmanifest
the known and unknown.
You enter everything, You mingle in everything
You awaken/arouse awareness in all.
Your grace has immortalized in divine effulgence
the mortal world.

Your smile beams the moon into her blissful smile
That smile which induces the water's flowtide.
Your effulgence breaks the earth into exuberant joy
and vibrates in blissful strains the air and the sky.
Your compassion infuses heavenly nectar

into the three worlds
in ceaseless waves
in ceaseless waves.

a mindinebriating dream
manifested today in beauteous form.
In countless ways, in countless minds
all bondages, dancing,
vanish into void.

I love You Lord, and You alone.
In a secret recess of my mind
I listen spellbound for Your sweet flutesound.
Melodies float magically in from far horizons
from the deep serenity of distant skies.
I look to You Lord, and You alone.

Through thunderous squalls
in dark turbulent nights
I crave for Your grace.
Days and nights come and go with Your radiant light.
In a colourful dream, mindinebriating dream,

You manifested today in beauteous form.

beckons me from the distant void,
saying,
why are You standing so far?
Come, come
come into my courtyard.

I have woven for You a garland of stars
in numerous colours and forms
through endless enchantments and games.
Just open Your eyes and survey!
Why stay confined in closeddoored rooms
and suffer ceaseless agony and pain?

He beckons me ingeniously.
I listen for His song
and wonder
in how many ways, my friend,
conveys His melodious call to me?

Harvesting the garden of paradise
I come, with floral nectar and sandal paste.
Smeared with the pollen of parijata blooms
I pour out the nectar of my life.

The fragrance of jasmine floats in
from the distant sky, on a humid breeze
and the lotus of my mind blossoms
full of vivacity.

I sit amidst this rejoicing world
and secretly weave a garland for You.
Black bees assembled in tomalo trees
in brightness and shade
await, to extend to You a royal welcome
with sandal and chua paste.
Here I sit
amidst this rejoicing world
composing songs of devotion to You.

On a raindrenched night You came
and intoxicated me with the fragrance of pandanas.

You came in the deep dark night
to pour forth nectarlike effulgence.

In the thunderous roar
of the stormy night
while the bamboo crashed against each other
with deafening claps,
You savoured the blossoms of kadamba flowers.

Rain clouds floated on tears of deep melancholy.
Smiling girls danced and amused themselves indoors
by tying up their hair and decorating
it with jasmine and malati flowers.

The fragrance of Your pandanas
remains everfresh in my heart.

_________________________

On a raindrenched night,

intoxicate me with pandanas perfume.

From the depths of darkest night
pour forth nectarial effulgence.
Savour kadamba blossoms
in thunderous roar,
while bamboo groves
in the stormy night
fight with deafening blows.

Rain clouds shed tears
of deep melancholy.
Girls, smiling
dance
and amuse themselves indoors,
tying up their hair
with sprays of jasmine and malati.

Your perfume of pandanas
remains fragrant still

Ever tranquil, ever blissful,
Pure Consciousness personified,
grant my prayer to be at Your lotus feet.

You are the very hope of the despondent;
You are love to an afflicted heart;
You are the final shelter for a shelterless wanderer.

You exist in all realms, from their origin to their end,
and my bountiful life is everbuoyant

on the unseen currents of Your love.

Your unbounded grace flows
ceaselessly in all directions.
You are the favourite of all, the most adorable.
You are beyond the ken of human intellect and learning.

You are the repository of all finitude
in the midst of which You sprout.

Yet we cannot know You
who are beyond the limitations of finitude.
When I contemplate You I begin to merge in You;
the casket of my mind,
saturated with the sweet pollen of pandanas,
rushes in total abandon towards You.

______________________________

Ever tranquil, ever blissful

Promise of hope to the despondent
sweet succour to the afflicted
final shelter to the shelterless traveler,
You, who reside in all realms
from beginning to end
from birth to death
keep everbuoyant my life
on Your unseen current of love.

Your grace unbounded
spreads pauselessly
to the ten realms.
You, the most adored
remain beyond the scope of human ken.

who beyond the boundaries of finitude
sprouts from the midst of finitude
yet is the repository of finitude?

Why do You beckon me today
with the melody of the distant?

My mind feels restless at home.
I don't understand why it defies all bonds.

The tightly closed petals of my mind flower
blossomed at the quick notes of Your divine song,
and now they drift contentedly along.

In the garden, black bees buzz Your songs,
whispering Your message in my ears.

At the call of Your song,
the sunflowers stand at attention to salute You.

The sephali tree bows repeatedly down
to decorate the path before You
with a collage of her flowers.

Birds are entranced with Your divine tune
which permeates consciousness throughout the cosmos.

The enclustered petals of mind
suddenly unfold

In the garden
black bees buzz Your melodies,
whispering Your message in my ears.
Enchanted by Your tune
sunflowers turn to salute;
sephali trees bow repeatedly
decorating Your path

Birds are entranced
with Your music divine
which permeates consciousness

You have come
to regale the hearts of all
with intoxicating song and dance.

I light a candle at Your altar
and pour forth the nectar of my life.
Your effulgence has illuminated my whole being.

The Yamuna (holy river) of my mind
breaks into flood tide,
and in Your surging waves,
the diverse currents of my ideation
merge into one tumultuous flow.

with Your bonds of love
with Your sweet song accompanying the music of lyres.

With joyous intoxication, eloquent discussion,
with rhythmic dance and overflowing heartfelt joy,

The garland was woven for You.
Why did You wound me by refusing to wear it?
The eastern horizon is ablaze with crimson rays.

The breeze captured the spirit of colour and love
and my love I wove into a garland in my heart
a garland drenched with tears.

Now the petals have dropped,
one by one, gently down.
You didn't come.
You didn't see me.
You didn't try to understand
the deepest yearnings of my heart.

You are with me always
but I cannot catch hold of You,
I cannot realise You.

Day and night,
in a ceaseless current of melody,
You are mingled
in every particle of my mind.

In the smile of the moon,
in the early dawn,
in the haze of dusk,
in the lightning's flash,
in radiant sun,

You surround me

with my being
You are inextricably entwined.

I am ever awake,

are You bound, my friend,
drifting upstream with the flowtide,

You have cut Yourself adrift
from the moorings of the shore
and, with a tempest's speed
rush towards midsea.
What melody intoxicates You,
tell me, please.

Extinguishing the candle's light
came the tempestuous night,
making You drunk with its song,
carrying You far from the shore.

To which unknown world
are You bound, my friend,
in the breeze boat of my mind?

You pierce the secret cavern of my mind

the flower stalks with thorns?

Why streams must wend their way
over bumpy pebble stones?

Why fragrant lilies and loti bloom
from turbid, dirty pools?

Why the happy earth, home of all life,
in silent space
rotates alone?

Why the starlit sky
which scintillates
with the light of a billion lamps
must extinguish into oblivion
when the full moon sings her tune?

Why children, fresh as floral blooms,
must cry so loud and long?

Why moonbeams peep
like frightened (captive) sheep
through slits in ominous clouds?

Why the peaceful sky with its gentle breeze
can suddenly transform,
spitting streams of hard and painful hail
with the raucous laughter of a storm?

If You, O Lord,
would come and stay
through my nights and days
through my dreams and pains,
if You, O Lord, would agree,
please look for any corner of my being
and be seated there.

Then, if my love prove true,
the garden of my mind will surely bloom,

shall I decorate

Do You realize
how much pain I feel for You?
You never keep account
of the pining of my heart.
In this created world
You keep Yourself engaged
with this important task and that
and never blink a bat
at the wailings of us lowly folk.

From the forests of my mind
shall I glean the choicest blooms
and weave a garland so superb
for You,
and I shall see
if You then will acquiesce
to accept my humble gift or not.

Your melodies shall I sing
with the deepest feelings of my heart
and I shall dance, a joyous dance
around You, Lord,
and will You then
just steal a glance
at me, Your devotee?

You do not understand, my Lord,
the pain I deeply feel.
You really do not care to even know
my sorrow.

Why, Lord, did You choose to come so late?
Ages have passed
and I waited expectantly
for Your advent.

If You really love,
why these aimless pranks.
I wanted You, Lord
from my heart's deep core,
at Your lotus feet
for shelter to take,
and so I waited expectantly
I dared not miss a single beat.

Between dreams and despair
You always kept me suspended (tossed)
in anxious anticipation,
until ultimately You chose to come,
out of Your sweet grace,
out of Your boundless grace.

You are the lamp light
in the sombre night.
You are the beacon light
for souls astray.

Without You none exist.
You are the Lord enthroned
in the hearts of all.

No fear, no shame,
no sadness, no pain,
no hesitation,
before You can stand.

You cause empty hearts to overflow
You merge the minds of the meek
into Your infinite flow.

Make my life successful, Lord
With Your sacred name
in Your sweet strains.

Some stay awake for You, Lord,
night and day.

Some maintain a steady faith
in the face of fearsome frustrations.

Some sing optimistic songs
to push away their pains.

Some cry torrential tears, O Lord,
for You.

None can forget
Your blissful form
nor the brilliance of Your effulgence.

Some weave garlands of bygone days.

Some mingle hope and joy and make the earth alive.

Some play hide and seek with You.

Some have hearts full of love.

I stay awake

for You to honour my home.

I am immersed in Your name,
engaged in Your work,
I have identified my life with Your tune.

I recognize none without You
and I have mingled my hues
into Your diverse shades.

In the spring's colour festivities
I send
my lost mind
to its true abode.

Who else can grace me, Lord,
who else can I accept as my own.

All look to Your for Your grace
Today their minds' lyres harmoniously attuned
their repentant penances merged in Your merciful sea
they do not question Your merits or demerits

they love You, only.

And You cannot hate
You cannot discriminate
between the foolish and the brave.
You are the life of all lives
the veritable goal of all hearts.
All attain fulfillment from You alone.

I became tired of calling You, Lord
and fell asleep
when suddenly You appeared in dream
and just as suddenly departed again.

I am not amused, Lord
with Your fickle ways.

Now, if You come in dream
or during my waking state
I will tether You secretly
and never allow You
to desert me again.

Now I have attained the Ever New
I will never let Him go
I have captured that Supreme Charmer
within my mind
My delight knows no bounds
My heart exalts in joy.

A withered tree in an arid desert
has succumbed
to the brilliant radiance of emeralds.

I have realised He for whom I have longed
My life has borne fruit today.
I am lost in a stream of melody
drowned in ecstatic waves of total surrender
transported beyond the ocean of forms.

I am merged in this Supreme madness.
My mind freed from the cycles of life and death
knows no bounds.

Bathed in crimson rays
You came,
heralding the new day.
To emancipate the earth You came,
forgetting the pain
inflicted by Your own.

You are the jewel of my soul.
Can You ignore Your child?
Can my heart's desire
remain far from home?

Insurmountable obstacles
with perseverance/patience
are overcome.

Sky castles
have become
the treasures of this dusty earth.

Mind's flower
cannot be contained within the mind
It is alive with smiles.

You have come
for the sake of all
to conquer all with Your equanimity.
