1101

O most beautiful one!
You are vibrant in the ashoka and palash trees,
You are vibrant in grass,
in the chirping of birds,
in the solitude of forests,
in the murmur of the stream,
O most charming one!

In the deep blue dress of the distant blue sky,
in the dawn of eastern sky,
in the game of colours,
in the festival of sweetness,
and on the bank of the ocean,
You ever radiate.

Who can hold You,
O Lord,
when You are immeasurable and unlimited?

You come into our fold by Your grace only.
O, one unobservable by voice and mind!






1102

O Lord,
come into my life,
decorating Yourself with colour and beauty.

O Lord,
come into my mind,
emanating hundreds of flows.

An effulgent series of waves
comes from the unknown
and flows into the unknown.

Stay as the singular entity,
and become my own.

That heavenly swing...
how does it dance
and what does it sing?

Remain in rhythm
and fill all
with melodies, tunes and beats.






1103

Dharma is my companion,
Dharma is my life.

I accept and follow Parama Purus'a only
since I am myself but His gift.

Ever since the beginning of my life,
He has remained with me.
He will stay with me until the end of my life.

I move with Him,
without forgetting that my life is His gift.

Wherever you may be in the three worlds,
dance in His glory,
and remain in that state,
always singing of His splendor.









1104

O Lord,
crying time and again,
for whom does your bound chignon loosen out?

Your sorrowful eyes,
covering up all restlessness,
are unable to hold tunes and melody.

The light of day has diminished.
The time of sunset has come.

At this time,
why do you sit alone,
churning over whose memory?

The swan flies far off,
and again returns back to its nest.
Your close friend went far away.
Will He come again this time?








1105

O Lord,
You exist.
The world exists.

To serve You,
living beings appeared.

In Your divine play
and in sweet illusion,
all dance around You.

In sweet intuitional practice,
in sweet creation,
unbound sweetness
smears hopes and languages.

Your inspiration and Your expressions,
provide currents to life.

Those who come to this earth,
again depart.
Yet, on the path of coming and going,
none is ever lost.

Looking unto You,
all beg for Your love.







1106

The butterfly,
symbolising Ta'raka Brahma,
spread its wings
and snatched away the pollen from the flower,
that symbolises the devotee.

Coming from an unknown realm,
It disappeared unto an unknown realm.

It realised the pain existing in the flower,
and drew into it a colourfully decorated image.

The flower, with a smile, requests:

"Fill love into each era,
and by a sweet and loving song of Yours,
make my heart dance".









1107

Who awakened my drowsy eyelids
with a touch of light?

Who lighted lamps in each direction
of my poverty stricken mental temple?

There was no light inside my mind.
There was no spiritual practice of fulfillment.

Who illuminated me
with a glittering lamp of gems?

I had no tide in vitality,
neither any inspiration to move on the path.

Who woke me up,
breaking my intense and deep sleep,
and telling me to listen to His call?








1108

O Lord,
come, come to my home!

For You,
I decorated my mental house with bright colours.

I washed it with the light of love,
and beautified it with different colours.

Whatever love and affection I had,
I poored its totally into it.

You listen to the voice of my core
and know the agony of my heart.
You listen to it and You know it.

Come into my mind
by granting Your grace to me.

From all sides,
I remain surrounded by pitch darkness.
You are my only light.

Whatever belongs to me
ever keeps dancing around You.







1109

O Lord,
please come close,
come still closer.

With every melody of mine,
a victory garland for You was threaded.

My offering pot,
I filled with emanating fragrance.

Internally, in the midst,
I attuned my ears to listen.

Enliven me with Your sweet touch
and illuminate me with the flame of life.

With Your melody and song,
originating from pleasing nectar,
put me to Your work.

I am but a mere particle of Yours.
You are the ever fresh nectar of love.

All my earnestness
and all my hundreds of salutations
beg for Your kindness only.







1110

O Lord,
You are the heavenly essence of nectar.
You remain ever saturated with love.

You remain absorbed
in the essence of sandal fragrance
and bathe in the sandal breeze.

You are the intimate one
to those who have none.

You are the protector of the unprotected,
ever absorbed in sweetness.

You are worshipped by the world,
and remain engrossed in auspicious action.

Within the game of creation,
numerous small waves arise within You,
none ever goes outside You.

Beyond the darkness of uncertainty,
You are the ever fixed, shining effulgence.







1111

O Lord,
You are with all,
You are the sole entity.

By love, You won the mind.

In strong storms,
killing the serpentine noose,
You bring about calmness
at the last moment.

While being devoured by a cruel enemy,
in joyful gesture,
You omnipresently dance.

When there was no knowledge of creation,
no count of days dates and time existed,
neither did delusion of hope and despair prevail.

You existed then,
You are still present now.

You remain indulged in Your divine game (liila'),
eternally seeking love.







1112

O Lord,
You came and fulfilled my heart.
You went away without informing me.

What for did You come
and what for did You go,
speaking sweet words.

In Your infinite world,
innumerable living beings ever dance.
Within Your sweet and delusive game (liila'),
they move with different gestures.

A constant coming and going...
a wanting heart looking for its lover.
Is it that what You want?
Is it this what is called divine game (liila')?







1113

O Lord,
You are the nucleus of the universal cycle,
You are all in one.

You existed in the beginning,
and will remain until the end,
though Your end, I ignore.

In the fragrance of flowers,
in the impulse of vitality,
in songs,
on paths,
in the sweet breeze,
hidden behind it all,
You softly smile
and keep weaving the web of imagination.

In past days,
in future days,
Your glory ever shines
on land, water and sky.

You remain within
and outside the perifery of time
You cannot be measured by days.









1114

O Lord,
the star in the sky
recounts that You are my only companion.

The dust of the earth dances
and conveys
my day and night long longing for You.

The soft sandal breeze admits
there is no other existence than Yours.

The waves accompanying the ocean rumor
they want that one entity only.
The sparkling of light in the distant sky,
passing through rainfalls,
display His love and affection.

The pollen of floral fragrance,
carrying His message,
float adrift into infinity.
Each atom of the human mind
sings the glory of the one
who has been guest life after life.








1115

O Lord,
spreading the effulgence of light,
who is that unknown You who came?

Pouring forth a golden flash of heavenly light,
You filled me with inspiration.

You know all my past,
You weave the net of the future,
You understand all the feelings of my mind.
I, on the other hand,
do not understand anything at all.

Whatever work I do,
I do it for You,
and, due to Your grace,
I remember You.

Only You know
when I shall be allowed to hold You,
I do not know it.








1116

Today,
clusters of stars appear in the sky,
but in my mind, darkness lingers on.

Due to whose absence,
day and night,
an immeasurably immense ocean of agony
has built up?

In the floral garden,
there is no fragrance.
The sky is sullen and without moon.

Ice seems bereft of coolness,
and honey has become tasteless.

The peacock,
losing its beautiful tail,
weeps and cries.

Forsaking vitality,
a wandering,
dancing pair,
has forgotten the rhythm of time.








1117

O Lord,
my days pass by in pain and pleasure,
yet, You still don't come.

Though I see light,
the dark curtain,
covering me up in deep blackness,
is not removed.

The soft smile of my flower
silently fades in the depth of the night.

The nectar of the full moon
is destroyed
by the hunger of time,
and the moon
becomes overpowered
by the shadow Ra'hu.

Looking at it all,
my mind sorrows
but is unable to speak.

Yet, somehow, I secretly console my mind,
asking myself:

Why these imaginations of light and shade?
Tell me why You created this world?









1118

What for did the bee (symbolising the Lord)
come to the abode of the (devotee)?

Leaving the flowers in the forest,
it came to your mental flower.

Probably He does not like wild flowers,
and to your mental flower there is no comparison.

He who has given you a mind,
ever spreads His honey.

Listen! The Lord likes you
and is ready to love your mental honey!

In a corner of your home
in meditative posture,
let Him enjoy your honey fully.







1119

In this sweet evening time,
so full of love,
my mind floats far away.

Roses bloom in many forests,
and blossom at Your pink feet.

By their beauty,
my mind becomes enchanted.
My eyes do not wish to deviate from it.

Stars twinkle in the far sky,
and sing the song of Your love.

What a pitiable condition this is,
they say...
how can so much love ever be forgotten?








1120

O Lord,
O purest one,
You came on a winter night,
with the essence of the shefa'lii flower.

O dearest one,
with a soft fragrance,
and a sweet smile,
You spread illumination all around.

In the swinging of tall grasses,
You vibrated my heart
and with clean dew,
You washed my path.

You loved and won my heart,
O innermost one within myself!

You went away
but Your fragrance still remains,
along with hundreds of new experiences.

You poured forth love,
snatched away my mind,
and left behind
an uncomparable memory.





1121

O Lord,
You are the ocean of effulgence
and of it, I am a particle.

Whatever I continue receiving,
has no comparison
and is a new experience.

You surrounded me in an infinite world,
moving from begininglessness to beyond time.

You are unlimited.
O ever new one!

In the divine and delusive game of creation,
You dance on vigorously.
Amidst the chirping of birds,
and the peacock's call,
I hear Your voice.

O You who are so difficult to attain!
For, even hearing You,
I might perhaps ignore.








1122

O Lord,
on a rainy night,
intoxicating me
with the fragrance of the ketakii flower,
and with reddish feet,
You came to my home.

Into the heart of the earth,
that had become distressed
by the three types of afflictions,
You filled peace.

On that night,
a frenzied sandal breeze blew,
intoxicating all.
It sang,
resonating in the tune of clouds (megha malha'r).

In that environment,
under the impulse of love,
I gently saluted You.

That day and moment
I have not forgotten,
the memory of which
keeps resonating in my heart each moment.

Its sweetness
surrounds all intuition
and floats adrift with melody.









1123

O Lord,
in illumination,
I see Your divine play, liila',
why then, do You scare me,
showing darkness to me?

My heart is full of ideas, and yet,
making me forget these ideas,
why do You arouse voidness in me?

From those who looks at You,
adorned in enchanting dresses of love,
why do You keep Yourself away like a stranger?

To those who love You
with the hope of providing joy to You;
You do not look at
and seem to have forgotten.

I am a particle;
You are cosmic, without limitation or bondage.
Yet, You cannot remove this particle...
this much You should know.








1124

O Lord,
You have forgotten me!
O dear one,
You have forgotten me!

You were with me during light and shade.
Do You ever consider thinking about it?

Innumerable golden mornings passed by.
The thread of my floral garland is broken.

You existed,
You are present
and You will ever remain,
wiping me from Your memory.

No more divine play!
Come close!
No more game!
Come and sit close beside!

By Your mercy, love and affection,
only You and I shall remain present.









1125

O Lord,
searching You in the world is difficult.

O bestower of grace,
You can be attained only by Your own grace.

You have innumerable heads,
controlling innumerable intellects.

By the force of intellect and knowledge,
O excellent one, it is difficult to attain You.

You see with innumerable eyes,
and maintain unlimited affection for all.

In individual and collective life
You constructed a house to shelter all.









1126

O Lord,
You told me
You would sing a song for me.
I wait and count time ever since.

With a sweet smile,
You gave me assurance
that You would soon return.

How many times
has since the earth rotated?
And how many winters and springs
have since gone by?

You did not come
nor did You sing Your song.
And I keep weaving a web of consolation.

The small plant became a big tree,
mountains decayed into anthills,
the counting of time is coming to an end,
yet, I still imagine the sound Your footsteps approaching.







1127

O Lord,
You came with effulgence
and smiled with affection.

You dropped off
old and worn out leaves
and brought about decorations
of new and tender leaves.

You reduced the burden of dogma,
and tore the dirty curtain of inertia.

On pale and pink cheeks,
You bestowed red radiance.
You provided acceleration to my movement.








1128

O Lord,
in light and shade,
in pain and pleasure
how many lives passed by?

Whatever I got, I again lost
but I still remained hopeful.

Having come down like a storm,
I wasted my life in eating and drinking only.
This time, by Your grace,
I wish to fulfil my ambition.

Disregarding the proper path,
I moved on wrong sides,
ignoring varieties, distinctions and differentiations.

Today, I understood You,
and found the proper path.
I learned to move along the divine light.

Keep bestowing on me this much grace.
Provide more and more illumination
and wipe out all darkness.












1129

O Lord,
spring has come
and vibrated each atom.

What is its cause and origin?

Under whose illusive influence,
have internal melodies come about?

What does the frenzied wind want?
What has been lost and what gained?

In the silent,
isolated and sweet night
what touch was given?

I have forgotten what I lost,
for, what I got was overwhelming.

This unbound vitality cannot be hidden.









1130

O Lord,
those who have totally exhausted their ego,
attain You with all their heart.

You take everything from those
who offer You their all.

They observe You when in darkness
and absorb themselves in Your love
in the light of the evening star.

And in the golden light of the crimson dawn,
they bathe in Your beauty and love.

There is no fear in them,
but only the sweetness of a love song.

They are left with a heartful of prosperity,
with the essence of sweetest nectar.







1131

O Lord,
You exist, hence I exist.

You filled life into the greenness of greeneries,
For Your grace, all beg.

The unlimited bluishness of eternity,
the frightening gravity of rough sand,
the beauty of grass and leaves in forests,
with all them, I exist.

Though surrounded
by the eight types of internal bondages,
the six types of internal enemies
and my ego,
I shall not forget You.

With the strength of Your name filling in heart,
I shall overcome the force of sins.






1132

O Lord,
You came into the forest of effulgence,
and made all swing.
And then,
where did You hide?

Into the gentle breeze,
You filled fragrance
and then,
You intoxicated my mind.

All long to attain You ever deeper.
None wishes to leave You
even for a small period of time.

The sweetness that fills the mind
wants to burst out and fulfill its aspirations.

Come in sweet ideation,
and remove all my wants.
O one beyond ideation!

With rhythm, song, melody, and new tunes...
come, overwhelming my heart with new beats.









1133

Coming with the soft breeze,
who is He who swung the flowers?

At the end of pride and unchecked emotions,
whose sweetness did You take away without asking?

You came and went away without informing me.
How much more charming this is, O Lord!

Your coming announcement
would only have increased curiousity.
This is why You came without informing me,
intoxicating my mind with beauty and colour.

What a new divine game this is,
ever new each moment!
Your love is beyond expectations.
You gave all without expecting anything in return.









1134

O Lord,
I think about You day and night.
My mind ever wants to contemplate You.

The pleasing memory of Your sweet smile,
fills hope into destitute hearts.

O charioteer of the cart of effulgence,
I know You don't consider any particular date,
then come to my home anytime,
so that in golden light, nectar may spread.

With which thought did what happen to me?
Due to what kind of nectar
did my mind become intoxicated,
that, leaving everything,
it rushed off in a single flow,
without ever looking sideways?









1135

O Lord,
I see You in new forms
and in hundreds of thoughts,
ever fulfilling the hopes of mind.

I longed for You in the fragrance of incense
and in the light of lamps,
when merging my entire sweetness into one.

You came in innumerable adornments,
in numerous ideations and actions,
in each moment through the sandal breeze
You came in memories,
You came day and night.

You danced in rhythms and melodies,
gently floating within and beyond the periphery of time.

I find You in the isolated and dense forest,
in the depth of mind in smiling illumination.









1136

O Lord,
through songs, come into my heart.

You are beyond this world.
You are the illumination of beauty.

Nothing is impossible for You,
for, the seven arenas are threaded in Your mind.

There is nothing You cannot do.
You hold innumerable forms.

After the ending, You again start,
filling the whole arena of ma'ya' (illusion).
You are excellent amongst the best,
worshipable amongst adorables.

You are difficult to be known,
even if very close.
You resonate with tunes.








1137

O Lord,
I shall attain You by love
and engage myself in Your work only.

With Your smile and enchanting flute,
I shall remain intoxicated in mind.

Many a birth passed by.
Many an autumn went by.

Time passed hoping and hoping.
Tell me, how many more dates will I have to count?

Come to me age after age,
I shall remain awakened for You.
Open Your eyes,
and look at me.

How much more time
will I have to keep moving on the path?







1138

O Lord,
come in the sandal beeze,
crossing hundreds of obstacles.

Appear in beautiful forms in my mental temple,
and smile with a soft touch.

You fill their life of those
who come and again go without desire,
and without looking back,
with beauty and flavour,
and love them with pleasure and vitality.

There is no invocation nor farewel to You,
neither is there sacrifice nor encircling.

You have been in the past,
You are present now
and will forever remain.

Hence, even without looking at You,
I ever call You.








1139

O Lord,
in which past was I introduced to You?

I forgot its date and pleasing memory,
and yet, I wonder, can it ever be forgotten?

Hundreds of trumpets sound on Your victory journey.
From a distance, they vibrate in combination.
I want to go but am unable to do so.
This smallness of mine is a great handicap.

I consider You great and myself but a meager.
This is Your divine game with a small entity.
Exchanging Your heart with mine,
our introduction took place.








1140

O Lord,
You are my charioteer,
You are the guide on my path
towards the final desideratum,
towards the absolute.

You are the permanent guest.
You are the symbol of life.
Nobody knows Your ways.

It is impossible to forget the affection that You showered.
In each particle Your mercy was filled.
This creation exists because You exist.

His glimpses shower universal love.
The origin of light is lies in Him.
The devoted, in spite of vices and virtues,
becomes engrossed in His thought.

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










1141

Hiding behind the hills and forests,
the sun sets.

The light fades,
and darkness intensifies.
The day becomes lost.

When the sun shone,
darkness turned illuminated,
and yet, with the setting of the sun,
it's memory, too, flew into oblivion.

The sun comes,
riding the seven coloured charriot in white.
Intoxicating the mind with crimson colours,
it rises.

O sun, come this time!
Smile sweetly on this earth.
Living beings await you.
They look towards the east
in search of warmth.







1142

O Lord,
unhindered by snow and fog,
You came,
O effuglent one!

That day, even in dark moments,
You brought a rhythmic song
filled with melody and dance.

By the touch of dawn,
the earth was coloured
and into its calmness,
into its wavelessness,
entered a flow of vitality.

All eanestness became filled
with idea, beauty, flow and language.
O personification of consciousness,
You remain ever admirable!

Millions of ages passed by,
yet, the flow of creation continued.
The infinite and immeasurable
flow of Your mercy remained.

With affectionate sweetness
and blessing with love,
You smilingly told,

"I am here,
no total dissolution of the universe
will ever take place.
Take this for granted."








1143

O Lord,
Your abode is beyond time and space,
but located within the perphery of love,
in the very heart of devotees.

Your greatness and attributes
vibrate in both inanimate and animate beings,
each second and moment.

You are beyond speech and thought;
and yet, I wish to bind You by love.

By granting Your causeless grace to me,
I attain You in the knot of love.

Human intellect is Your creation.
Philosophy is nourished by intellect.
By Your grace and mercy,
let them float in the flood of love.










1144

O Lord,
You are my light of hope,
for You only,
I thread my garland.

You know how to love
and hence,
I speak about You always.

During calm nights and solitary mornings,
I love You wholeheartedly.

Expecting You,
my heart remains overwhelmed and restless.
It contains all feelings
of pain, pleasure and sorrow.

I played the game of pain and pleasure
during a time of light and shade.

All my game involved only You,
and thus, I became absorbed in You.

This, in short, is the history of my realisation.







1145

O Lord,
by Your touch,
the lamp of my heart glittered.

The dry wooden stand of my lamp
turned into consciouness.

I did not have gems and jewels,
nor an eye dazzling neckless of diamonds.

Only noncompromising and limitless love did I possess,
which was what brought You into my fold.

I did not have the knowledge of philosophy,
nor the accumulated virtue of pilgrimage.
For Your grace, I beg like a destitute.

When Your causeless grace came about,
my afflicted heart found fulfillment.








1146

O Lord,
You came,
loved
and ferried the boat
across the dark ocean.

You filled the earth
with collections of flowers.

You quenched
the pangs of hunger and thirst.

Those famous persons who came
received the wee bit of Your grace.

Those who are yet to come
will receive the flow of Your mercy
that flows in this creation.

You, remaining alone,
brought down a flood
from the fountain of light.

Although You stay in an eternal abode,
You descend to play the divine game.

In the flow of Your liila' shall we all attain You.
By Your grace shall we cross darkness.
This assurance of Yours filled my mind and heart.







1147

O Lord,
I have forgotten the day and the time,
when I saw You,
O incomparable one!

Even today,
Your loving nectar swings my mind,
whenever I think of You,
O my most beloved!

The sound that comes in the air,
floating by the vibration of the blue sky...
in its beauty and colour,
I lose myself,
in the infinite's loving impulse.

The life that was smeared by Your cosmic dust...
its fragrance embraced my mind.
The song that You sang,
its melody,
today turned impure into purest.










1148

O Lord,
You are present in each particle.

The glow of the lonely morning sun,
filled mind and heart.

Whatever I may do,
hiding from You,
when opening my eyes,
I find that it is not unknown to You.

In birth and death,
at each and every step
and in each vibration,
You dance.

Have mercy on me
so that I may keep You in my mind,
and, through memory and thought
keep You close.

My heart sings around You,
as if observing Your beginning and Your end.








1149

O Lord,
if You do not come,
for whom should I remain sitting here?

For whom should I thread my garland,
all alone in the floral garden?

I sit here,
concentrationg my mind on You.
I pass the time thinking of You.

Your image constantly appears in my memory
which loves to think about the events of bygone days.

Today my heart,
like a moistened shefa'li flower,
keeps emanating fragrance in search of Your touch.









1150

O Lord,
I attained You in the mirror of my mind.
How can I ever forget that mercy of Yours?

Witnessing Your blissful entity,
the earth too, turned intensely blissful.

The flowers became filled with nectar,
and their blossoms overflowed with honey.

In the deep recess of my mind's garden,
bees secretly came humming.

Piercing though darkness, light came about.
My intoxicated mind became smeared with honey.

The eyes were contented,
my heart became spirited,
while I attained You wholeheartedly.








1151

This dreamful nectar filled earth
became filled with sweetness,
by Your touch,
and Your effulging, overflowing sweetness.

A tide swayed the ocean of the earth.
An immeasurable and limitless vibration aroused.

You observed and smiled,
and the earth frenzied.

In the sweet garden of this earth,
colourful flowers bloomed with the pollen of love.

Forgetting everything,
with the impulse of heart,
a flow of fragrance appeared.








1152

O most beloved Lord,
Secretly and unseen,
You entered my mind.

No one saw or noticed
Your uncomparable love.

In the autumn and summer evenings,
and in the floral fragrance of the smiling spring,
You came smiling,
and sang Your song.

Nobody understood my realisation.
The sweet jingling of Your anklebells
overwhelmed my afflicted mind.

You came
and spoke words,
that were filled
with the nectar of heaven.









1153

Today, the spring of my life
decays due to negligence.

The flower with its nectardrops
bends low its old leaves.
And tender new leaves dry out untimely
due to negligence.

The sandal breeze of my floral garden went away.
Its vibrating gracefulness
became replaced by the dust of storms.

Where are You at such a bad time of mine?
O Lord, come and smile overwhelmingly.

Come to show the proper direction
to this direction lost person.
Except You,
there is no one at this bad time, alas.








1154

O Lord,
You came and kindled light,
and brought humanity to this world.
/ filled this earth with a human touch.

You loved,
You poured forth nectar,
and aroused softness in minds.

The earth was torn and broken
due to strokes,
and, due to divisive intellect,
became fargmented
into hundred parts.

Mother earth
carried marks of pain
all over her body.

You provided illumination,
and applied ointment on wounds.

To whose call of pain and crying,
did You listen?
With assurance, You removed the terror,
and told:

"I am here to protect you from pain".







1155

O Lord,
on this moonlit night,
in calm seclusion,
I create my song for You.

Listen to my story,
understand my pain,
and end my restlessness.

I wish to tell You only one thing:
Why, if You love me,
do not You come near?

This distance and unkindness may today end.
Only one agony is to be understood:
Even after praying,
I do not find You close.

Whatever I may speak,
all that, I offer unto Your holy feet.







1156

O Lord,
who are You who came into my mind?

The skies,
the air,
by Your love,
are frenziedly vibrating within You.

You do not want anything
nor do You say anything.
You only want to give,
You do not want to take.

But still,
I keep awake to give You something,
Your merciful eyes
must not ignore this nodemand of mine.

You are so close to me
that, from me,
You do not want anything.

I now understand,
that You want my "I" feeling.

I love You,
my mind frenzies.
It is ready to offer You everything and anything.









1157

Spreading nectar,
who is that who came,
removing all darkness
and illuminating the earth?

My introduction with You
took place several ages back.
No one knows when.

You have flown forth
the stream of new and shining light.

Come into my life,
come secretly,
in enchanting adoration.

Come, fulfilling my hope
Come into my mind sweetly,
O full of sweetness!








1158

O Lord,
come with each song,
and crush the pride of my mind.
Merge with life,
and remove the limit that meanness imposes.

Whatever someone may secretly be thinking or doing,
You know all equally,
You move with all mentally.
There is nothing outside You.

You are everyone's refuge in pain and in pleasure.
You equally care for all,
and, moving ahead,
You keep an eye on everyone.










1159

O Lord,
You came in the fair of colours,
You came through the beauty and decoration of flowers.

You appeared in the enchanting and illusive game, ma'ya',
through the sweetness of smiling youthfulness.

You were alone in the earliest break of the day,
and secretly unveiled Yourself.

By Your joy and a touch of life,
the world became filled with vitality and greenness.

You danced through different sounds with colourful steps.

By Your ideation,
mortals became absorbed in the enchantment of bliss.
O what glory!








1160

O Lord,
though You are beyond thought,
I request You to come into the fold of thinking.

Come,
providing the experience of auspicious ideas.

Remove them and fill with new light
whatever may have decayed.

You are present within me
in evernew forms and ideas.

I know You are my eternal companion,
in birth as in death,
then why do You keep me alone?

By Your touch and illumination,
take me into Your infinite ideation.








1161

O Lord,
I love You,
I attained the sweetness of life
in Your effulgence and eternal love.

Come into my life secretly and in seclusion,
that nobody would know about it,
neither on earth nor in heaven.

I shall keep You in the casket of my heart,
where I have reserved a space for You.

Even should You not love me,
that is no harm,
I just wish to see You from a distance.

So... do not come close,
but simply smile from a distance,
I have kept Your arrival path decorated.








1162

O Lord of my life,
come close!

O ever spotless one,
sit close beside,
with eyes decorated
and lips coloured.

Expecting Your arrival,
I sit and wait ages since,
casting aside laziness.

Night turned into morning.
O captivator of mind,
come in the fragrance of the shefa'li flower.

What a liila' game of Yours is this,
comprising both light and shade,
sometimes loving
and sometimes ignorant of me?

I am but a mere particle of Yours.
O, Great Entity,
merge in the realisation of this unit entity.







1163

Into the depth of my mind,
He came on His own
and continuously calls me at all times.
Tell me, how shall I keep away from Him?

He started calling me
right from the first dawn,
sometimes during the day
and sometimes during the night,
displaying a red glow.

Right from the appearance of dawn,
till the ascent of the evening's star,
He calls me with the sweetness of mind.

Thinking Him to be unknown,
I did not reply to His call.
And, due to the hesitation of my mind,
I did not come into His fold.

Now, on this auspicious moment,
removing all hesitations,
and keeping myself awake,
I came.








1164

Pushing aside the curtain of darkness,
O effulgent entity,
who are You who came?

Without bothering for obstacles on the path,
You came,
stamping over them
as though they were mere pebbles.

Obstacles surrounded each of Your steps,
with the twinkling of an eye,
You tore them apart in the sound of the wind.

Like a free bird, You flew on,
spreading Your wings unobstructed.

On Your path,
nobody is afraid of hypocrat's crookedness and fraud.

Seeing light,
the dark fog vanishes.

The descent of light on earth
is embraced by all.









1165

O dear Lord,
a symbol of effulgence,
You are the messenger in dense darkness.

You removed all my agony;
now make me Your own.

I love You day and night,
during blows of storms
and in the dense fog.

I find You in the golden radiation of the morning,
filling my heart and my mind.

I love You time and again,
in empty sands and in empty worlds.

You are the formless,
yet most beautiful garland of gems.
Take all with You to a world of effulgence.









1166

Today,
new light came
and the dark fog dissolved.

An unbound life filled the world
with irresistible speed.

I will not heed to any obstacle,
nowhere will I stop.

I will not be suppressed
in fear of threatening gestures.

I shall move ahead
in the tide that today came about.

I know that forward movement is life.
And that staying behind calls for death,
I have also understood.

Striking light into my eyes,
to break my slumber,
who is that who came?


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


You seized sleep from my eyes.
You filled my room with a sweet fragrance.
You came at night,
and removed the darkness of my heart.

The sky was full of clouds,
the air was filled with anticipation.
Nobody was waiting to welcome You.
You came into my heart's night.

You came and played on the viina' of my heart.
You went away silently
and nobody was there to bid You farewell.








1167

O Lord,
who are You who came
with a lamp in hand
to show me the path to travel on
in this dark night?

I do not know nor recognise You,
yet, You came near me
and loved me irresistibly.

In the dark,
I could not recognise the path.
No one was with me to call my own.

I continued calling an unknown friend,
when You poured into my ear
the proper name (mantra)
to address and call You.

I had been moving with previous momentum, intoxicated with
attachment to the path,
aimlessly rushing about without pause.

You came
and showed to me the proper path,
and told to move on a straight path.










1168

O Lord,
in the day and at night
I create this song for You.

The heap of items that dwells in my heart,
is decorated layer by layer,
in the language of this song.

The light that emanated from Your sweetness
now smiles in front of me.

The sweetened lines of fruits and flowers
speak about You.

The breeze comes with a sweet touch
and happily announces You.

You unperturbedly poured out endlessly sweet love.








1169

Awaiting You, I sat on the sandy beach
on the shore of the eastern sea.

Bearing the agony of an unknown pain,
You remained very far.

I wonder, were You hidden
in the deep recess of my own mind?
Tell me, tell me.

At that time, flocks of geese,
with wings spread out,
flew far away
to where the sky and the sea meet.

In the hope of attaining You,
the essential fragrance of my floral wreath,
danced with great upsurge of emotion.

I did not keep track of days,
neither do I remember dates.
I did not record a dairy of events either.

O Guest, when shall we meet again?

On the western setting side of the ocean,
beyond the path of no return
took place our encounter.









1170

O mystic traveler,
a long time has passed
since I met You in the pala'sh grove,
when You endearingly whispered into my ears.

With the rhythmic dawn of maddening string sounds,
the unending rows of pala'sh flowers
turned fiery
and every nook and corner of the pala'sh forest
vibrated with new life.

The mystic traveler is so near
to this expressed universe,
and yet, He remains so far from all.

No amount of intellect,
no amount of logic
can catch hold of Him.









1171

O Lord,
You are present in all leaves and flowers.
You poured light into light.

You are present in risings and in settings,
thus pouring colours into colours.

You know who does what,
You know who lost his/her path.

You responded to the call
of all those under distress
and bestowed unbound love on them.

In Your world no one remains alone,
no one is helpless,
no one remains covered up in fog.

You are dear to all.
You are revered by all.
You remain mingled up with all.
You dissolve Yourself into all.










1172

O Lord,
in Your vision,
my eyes remain ever awakened.

They do not heed to consolations,
and remain ever drenched.

What am I to do?

Come into my home!
I shall hold You tight,
and bind You by the twine of love.

I will not leave You,
for, I am Yours.

Your new and beautiful effulgence excells.
Your sweet flute bestows realisation.

I am yours,
You are mine.

All is but the divine game of one.









1173

O Lord,
on this colourful night full of moonlight,
who are You who came,
spreading Your wings?

When looking at You,
it seems to me as though I recognise You.

But due to the presence
of the black coating of ma'ya' (illusion)
on my eyes,
I am unable to fully assimilate You.

The ketakii flower secretly tells me
that this friend is a polymorphic entity,
sometimes displaying a close person,
sometimes hiding.

He consoles with a sweet and humming voice.
He tells me
He would respond to my calls,
even if hiding from me.








1174

For His descend
from the heavenly abode
down into the garden of my mind,
I wait and count time.

Tonight, with unexpressable agony,
I think of Him in defeat.

He is a distant friend,
the moon of the far sky.
He snatched away
all the sweetness of my heart.

And yet,
even being lost,
I want Him,
and constantly listen to His footsteps.

Will He not come
and sing His song to me,
looking at my face once again?

The lamp of my hope tells me
He will come,
He will definitely come,
for, He is the central gem of my inner bud.











1175

O Lord,
You are my sole hope and confidence.

You are the sweet night in spring.
You are the symbol of love and satisfaction.
You are the hope of a distressed mind.

After wastefully roaming about in various places,
I finally came to Your door.

You gave me assurance of results,
and fulfilled my expectation.

I did want to attain You,
I only wanted more from You.
After attaining You,
I realised I got everything I expected.









1176

O Lord,
come in the flow of love.
Come emtpying Your nectar filled mind.

Come into the center of my eyes.
Come into the kadamba flower of my heart,
flooding the seed of my vessel with honey.

I took from You much more
than what I gave.
I got what I never expected.

You gave in excess,
and filled the pot of my life to the brim.

Whatever You have cannot be measured.
You have not taken my offering at all.

By only giving,
You made me
a non repayable debter for all time to come.








1177

The Lord of light has come
and the darkness of night has gone.

This sweet news spread
into the sky
and into the air
within moments.

The deep darkness,
which seemed impossible to cross,
was resisted within fractions of time
and the endeavour carried out at night
became fruitful.

Living beings submerged theselves in bliss,
flowers prepared themselves to select their choice.

The river is full to the brim with nectar
and has become restless.









1178

O Lord,
I love You only
but You have forgotten me.

Renouncing everything,
I have come,
only to please You.

Bearing the roughness of sand
and tolerating volcanic heat,
I kept performing all actions in this world,
to please You.

The sun smiles in the eastern sky,
the earth became colourful
with flowers and fruits.

With adornments of lotus flowers,
I shall decorate You
to the fullest satisfaction of my heart.










1179

O Lord,
You are the protector of the Great Universe.

In the depth of mind and life,
You keep creating the divine illusory sport,
Lilla'.

You are the nearest being
and You are the distant star.

You are the selfsustaining effulgent entity.
You do not want anything,
You only give.

O eternal granter of all powers,
You attend all.

You were in the past
and You are present now.
You are the only eternal entity.

You love,
You softly smile,
the entire world sings of Your attributes.


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


O protector of the great universe,
deep inside my mind, secretly in my heart,
the cosmic play has been created, O Lord.

You are the nearest one,
You are the distant star.
You only want to give.
Look at me,
O eternal fulfiller of desires.

You were there in the past,
also today You are there,
You are the eternal being.
You love to smile always,
the world sings of Your greatness.







1180

O Lord,
in the nucleus recess of Your mind,
You create the universe.

You make flowers bloom
and pour forth nectar.

In Your mind,
You paint greenness on green grass,
whiteness on high mountains,
blueness into the far sky.

By the pollen of the ketakii flower,
by the love of the sandal breeze,
by the decoration of the peacock's tail,
You enchant and illuminate minds.








1181

O Lord,
Your delight takes one
unto the heavenly abode,
and makes the whole world
bathe in nectar.

The sweetness of heaven
and the moon in the sky,
jointly worship You.

The heart of the earth,
so full of affection and love,
overflows with impulse.

The pearl of my mind
starts glittering in the lake of Your love.

There,
hatred, negligence, ignorance and deceit
do not work,
and the shadow of sins
vanishes away like a mirage.










1182

O Lord,
You dance in the high sea.
It is difficult to hold You
as You are cordoned by waves.

All want You
but none gets You easily.
All rush to attain You
but again return due to fear.

If You wanted to,
You could get held.

I studied scriptures,
heard a lot of explanations
and visited many pious places.
But I did not attain You.

When I made You my own
then I found You
hiding within my mind.








1183

O Lord,
O distant friend,
with the sweetness of my heart,
I threaded a garland for You.

Today,
in the spring breeze,
I came to know who it is
that my mind wants.

There is only one companion
for all living beings.
It is He alone who all want close.

In the vast sky,
there is only one moon,
whom all want closer.

Therefore,
I do not want to leave You distant any longer.

I keep awake
to place my garland of gems
around Your neck.





1184

O dear Lord,
forget Your supressed sorrow
and look at me.

The sun is going to set in the horizon,
so... come close,
and grant me pardon.

I decorated my house with flowers,
and, spreading the seat for You,
I am waiting.

I threaded a floral garland,
with merciful eyes,
so... look to me at least once.

O God of effulgence,
destroy my darkness
and make me better still.

Pour sweet love in abundance,
and kindle light into my dark heart.








1185

O Lord,
those who,
in this world,
receive a wee bit of Your grace...
their coming and going
turns forever meaningful.

That beauty and love
which is beyond comparision...
when thinking of it,
minds turn ineffective.

That heavenly smile and fragrance
and heartfelt love of Yours
they attain again and again.










1186

O Lord,
You came and graced,
and, by Your smile,
You spread light.

You loved, showed us the path,
and brought about firmness of control.

The earth lay submerged in darkness,
devoid of feelings of friendship and kindness,
and of sence of discrimination.

You struck a blow,
absorbed it in affection,
and awakened the consciousness of dharma,
the natural path.

You removed the dark curtain with both Your hands
and rooted out inertial dogma.

You took Your seat
in the blooming
and resonating recess of minds.










1187

O Lord,
I was created due to Your love
and I am full of Your songs.

Your memory lingers on unfaded even today
and agitates the core of my mind.

Your smile makes me restless,
Your flute enchants me,
Your melody full of love
and that call of Yours make me lose myself.

Your love oscillates my mind,
Your song makes one forget oneself,
Your effulgence awakens my consciouness
and fills the whole world with illumination.


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


Everything is cretaed by Your love.
Everything is made by Your song.

All past lifes are clear.
The inner heart is full of excitement.
Your smile makes me happy.
Your flute hypnotises me.

Your tune attracts me deeply.
Your love makes me swoon.
Your light awakenes my consciousness.
Your light is filling up the universe.












1188

He visited in the night,
removing all darkness,
snatching away the slumber from my eyes
and filling the whole of my house with fragrance.

The sky was filled with clouds,
the air was heavy and restless.
No one awaited Him in welcome.

Yet, He came in enchanting fashion
with the jingling melody of His viin'a.

He went away silently
and no one came to bid Him farewell.












1189

O my dearest Lord,
O unknown traveler,
one with sweet ankle bells
producing tinkling sounds.

O one with a gracious look,
one with an incomparable idea.

In the age that went by,
You were with all.

The mystic traveler is the eternal traveler,
He shall by His effulgence remove the darkness
from the heart of the devotee.

Permanently stay close to me,
do not go far away.
Illuminate my life with Your love.

If You stay,
love stays,
and effulgence also stays,
O my sweetest one.












1190

O human beings,
losing your senses,
where are you rushing towards?

You polluted the sky and the air
and turned the world into a hell.

You declared you were superior
and that the animals,
the birds
and the vegitatation were inferior to you.

You move on proudly,
almost kissing the sky.

Do not you forsee
the shadow of death,
approaching with accelerated speed,
to supress all your movements?

The strength of providence
declared you highest being,
and gave you greatest intellect.

Hence, rush on unobstructed,
ever towards the stars.



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


O human being, losing Your awareness,
where are You heading toward,
poisoning the air and the sky
and turning the earth into hell?

You used to say You were superior,
and that the animals, birds and trees
were inferior to You.

But Your ego is sky kissing.
Don't You see the shadow of time
approaching rapidly to put a stop
to all Your speed?

By God's grace You have been given a superior body.
With Your intellect You have conquered space.
Go on moving from star to star
without being deterred by any obstacle.












1191

A distant tune came today,
vibrating the sky and the air
of the entire universe.

The unit minds in the world
started dancing,
removing all barriers of fear and shame.

Kadamba flower pollen began to shiver,
cane groves became engrossed in quiver,
a ketakii fragrance absorbed breeze blew,
and rushed unto the unknown.

The peacock started dancing,
finding the rising sun close.

The jasmine fragrance
opened the gates of heaven.

The soft and sweet breeze
whispered into my ears
that the unknown traveler stands at the gate.








1192

O Lord,
awaiting You
my life passes by.

I shall continue to call
to awaken sounds in Your deaf ears.

Many an autumn came
and many a spring smiled.

The path was full of flowers,
but You did not come.
I remained standing alone.

The fragrance of flowers floated away.
The mental moon no more smiles.

At the sandy beach of the ocean of time,
I continue observing.








1193

O Lord,
with silent feet,
You secretly came into my eyes,
O my most beloved.

No one could know or see that,
No one could understand
this sweetest love of Yours.

At that time,
with murmuring sounds it rained,
and lighting danced with outbursts.

Outside threat,
inside charm...
that form of Yours was at that time
most materialised.

Then, the pollen of juhi flowers,
through the moist breeze,
came floating about,
encircling the deep darkness.

In the depth of my mind,
in a corner of my heart,
my ego vanished away,
O innermost one.











1194

O Lord,
You are present now
and will continue to remain.
Do not go away, ignoring me.

To who else,
if not to You,
shall I convey the feelings of my mind,
tell me?

Those who came
and those who stay
again go away,
leaving behing all the beauty of the earth.

Only You existed,
only You are present now
and only You will forever stay.
I know You do not come and go.

Those bound by place and time
undergo the change of coming and going.

You are beyond place and time
and do not heed to any bondage.










1195

I wandered about here and there in this world
and have now finally reached the proper place.

Crossing the dark fog and attaining light
I became glorified.

Here, no worldly shyness persists.
Hatred and backbiting have no more quarter.

Beyond condemnation and praise,
I found shelter at Your feet.

I broke the bondage
of dynasties,
manners,
praise and defamation, of fear,
and of all egoistic feelings,
which, in the past, had kept me bound.










1196

O charioteer of the golden chariot!
You steer the golden and illusory chariot.

The sun sets in the west.
All darkness is destroyed by Your effulgence.

All need a base
but You stand baseless.

Your speed and acceleration
is essential in all worlds.

Taking all with You,
You guide us through the mental arena,
and lead us unto the formless arena.

You do not give in to difficulties
nor are You deferred by even totally unknown concepts.
You are the aggregation of only love and bliss.

Making one forget all tortures,
in one fundamental ideation,
You shelter all.










1197

O Lord,
taking Your continuous ideation,
I started loving You.

Remembering You constantly
in all my movements,
I attained Your shelter.

Look at me with open eyes.
I remain intoxicated by Your song.

Meditating at Your feet,
I dance to Your tune.

Whatever might belong to me,
I offer unto You.

I am Yours,
You are mine.

This eternal truth
I have now understood.










1198

O distant friend,
come close,
and in closeness,
love me.

With red feet
and a colourful sweet face,
softly smile.

This universe is but Your idol,
and to it,
I do not find any comparison.

I am unable to think
of any comparable example
since You are above it all.

As You have no bondage,
I am unable to bind You
by neither praise nor glorification.

Being all pervading,
You never come
within the bondage of places of pilgrimage.







1199

With the jingling sound
of the ankle bells on Your feet,
O uncomparable Lord,
come!

Into the great space
and into the free sky,
let all my dirt dissolve.

Today,
the southern wind gushes out
and my mental peacock rushes forth and dances.

They run unto You.
They want You.
O my most beloved.

Today, the chariot of light
moves forward,
thrilled with joy.

The stream softly murmurs,
illuminated with Your touch.

They all pay their salutations to You.











1200

O Lord,
with which stick
did You kindle the lamp
that You today brought?

That lamp continues to glow
with innumerable flames.

It illuminates all the seven strata of the universe,
and eliminates the entire darkness.

It satisfies all living beings
and decorates tray after tray with colours.

At the end of prolonged penance,
that lamp glows unwinking.

At the end
You complete all Your work
by that light.
