Today, I remember the event
of the fullmoon night
in the month of shra'van' (rainy season month).

In my mind appeared the play
amidst living and nonliving entities.
The sky was pleasantly shadowy,
and overcast with clouds.

The water toads were full of joy.
The wind was blowing with impulse,
and carried the sweet fragrance of the juhi flower.

The impact of consciousness fell on an inert being,
when the divine mantra entered my mind.
A new light was bestowed,
piercing through the dark fog.
