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

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

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

O dearest Friend,
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.

Calling all, I will sing the glories of this crimson dawn

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.

There is fragrance in all hearts.

You came onto this earth

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 ever beautiful one,
my life overflows with song.

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

The unknown traveler has come,
after so many ages,
with the sweet call of consciousness.
My life is filled with songs.

In the pangs of losing everything,
in the the emptiness of complete oblivion,
in in the rhythm and song of supreme fulfilment,
in the invocation of the eternally beautiful,
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.

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.

Whatever I have seen, heard or attained
I embedded it all

in whom everything merges.

Where there is no light, there is no life.

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 long forgotten 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.

Because You exist, the world exists.
With You, all beings are in love.

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

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

This laughter, this song,
this radiant light and the higher realms

In Your name, all dance in joyous intoxication.
To You, all express their innermost heart.

Do not tear, do not tear
O divine friend
these flowers, vibrant with the touch of life.

Purport:
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. O
Lord, come close and smile Your sweet and charming smile. My garland represents my love
and intimacy. Let the flowers of my garland remain forever.

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

On the strings of His lyre,
beyond all limitations,
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. But as soon as I could know who He was, He no longer remained
unknown. Then He was not at all an unknown traveler, He was a known personality, and
everyone knew who He was.

On the journey on the path of light,

Come one and all to the grand festival!
To this festival of dawn!
The din of earth
and the sweet message of heaven
have blended into one today.

The clouds have dissolved
and all anxieties disappeared.

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 entered my mind.

You know how to make us laugh.

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

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.

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

You are the sweet balm

You are in day

You are in pleasure,

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

O Lord, You are the glittering moon

Purport:
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 all circumstances, You are the one who removes all my pains and
miseries; and in all conditions I long for Your sweet presence in all my actions, in all
my unspoken agonies. 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.

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

All despair has vanished

The universe has been flooded

world as an apostle of newness and an apostle of life, and all the rhythms of the universe
are dancing around You. 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 fulfil 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."

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:

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.

O Lord, sing Your blissful songs
and rouse me from this static slumber.

Look at me, always look at me!
O my dearest, dearest Lord.

Today my life's dullness has disappeared.

In Your rhythmic flow of sweetness
make my life ever new.

Let me flow in the current of celestial light
and fill me with transcendental feeling.
O my dearest, dearest Lord.

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.

You Yourself aroused me from slumber.

Come dancing in rhythm!
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!

Purport:
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 sparkling river currents,
or the shining sky above me.

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

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.

You vibrated my life with Your joyous rhythm.

I was burdened with conceit and humiliation,

From beyond the domain of darkness
You emerged as the polestar of my life.

From what heavenly realm
have You brought
the flow of nectar on this earth?

Come Lord, in the fragrance of my life!
Come Lord, in the flame of my mind!
Come Lord, in the blossom of my heart,
and fill this earth with fragrance!

Come Lord, in the melody of my life!
Come Lord, in the rhythm of my heart!
Awaken all those who are asleep.

Purport:
You have come from the other side of darkness and brought with You the divine nectar for
this earth from the other world, from the supramental world. You have come in the very
vitality of my life, You have come in the fragrance of my heart, You have come in the
flame of my mind, and You have made this universe fragrant. O Lord, with Your presence,
let the entire universe be aroused.

My restless mind heeds no restrictions.
It only wants to move towards Him.

Why this desire, O why this desire?

The dust of the earth,
the murmurings of the forest,
those sweet days of the past
the sweetness of my mind
all together merge in Him.

Why this desire, O why this desire?

My unexpressed words,
my feelings of ego,
the unspoken pain of my wounded pride
today they all rush towards Him,

Why do they rush towards Him?
Why this desire, O why this desire?

Purport:
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 hide and seek?

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. On the
clouds of the pains and agonies of my mind, His presence has been reflected like
glittering sun rays, and as a result, rainbows have been created when His light touched
my sorrows, I was filled with the play of rainbow colours. 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.

Purport:
You have come into this world with the resonance of music, in endless ways. You have
manifested Yourself in innumerable styles and forms with rhythmic sweetness and beauty,
and all pangs of loss, all disappointments and weaknesses have been forgotten. According
to Your wish, because of Your unfathomable kindness, we have been able to know You, hear
You and see You in these endless ways. If You had not wanted it, how could we have
attained You? 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."

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 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.

dignity with our hearts overflowing with love. Let the sufferings of each be shared by

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.

With all the love in the temple of our minds, we say:

Who are you, gazing at the blue sky,

The hunger of your body, life and mind

give them Your blessing.

Amidst their burning sorrows,
amidst their garlands of joy,
in their pains and pleasures,
be with them always.

Human society is indivisible
neglecting not a single family,
let us all together sing and dance.

Accept them as Your own
and give them Your blessing.
With the harmony of the earth
and sweet messages of love,
fill their lives with colour.
And give them Your blessing.

My garments have lost their lustre.
Where shall I hide my pain,

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 will not go, I will not go.
from this rhythmic world of melody!

In the realm of my mind,
in the realm of my self,
I live wrapped in His melodies.

In the breeze of melodies, I seek Him.
In the shadows of melodies, I attain Him.

In the sweet and blissful rhythm of melodies,
in every pore of my existence,
He hides himself.

In all my desires,
in all my accomplishments,
the final word lies in the heart of melodies.

This world is not a mere illusion.
It is not a display of false colours.

It is the game of the playful Lord!
It is a charming fair of sport!

The sun rises and the dawn smiles.
All directions are dazzling with colours,
gleaming colours, intoxicating colours.

They merge with the flow of life,
in this game of the playful Lord,
in this charming fair of sport!

Day and night I await Him,
seeking Him with unblinking eyes.

What are the bees whispering in the garden
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 came within the embrace of the earth.
The distant star has come near.
The distant melody has intoxicated my mind.

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.

Whatever I see, I feel to be blessed.
All atoms and molecules vibrate with energy.
My subtle feelings have found expression.
The earth has become filled with bliss.

Under a dreamlike spell the days pass by.
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.

He comes, He comes, He ever comes.

The flowers of the white creeper fall.
The jasmines have all disappeared.
The chrysanthemum stretches her arms,
calling Him with a smile

The tender rosebuds are blossoming.
The ginger flower is intoxicated with life.

The spell of winter has not yet come,

Let me feel You always near.

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.

In the aroma of rice in autumn,
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 far off 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 recognised 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.

I did not think,
You would come
on this wintry night.

You came so close,
I did not tell You to come so near,
and yet still nearer.

Outside the biting wind blew
and all the doors were closed.
I did not open the door and tell You,
"Come inside, come inside the house,
on this rainy wintry night."

Your eyes stared at my face.
Who knows why You gazed at me.
I did not know that Your feelings were wounded.

Not even once did I ask You to speak,
on this rainy wintry night.
You went far away on Your lonely path,
heedless of the biting cold outside,
and not even once did I ask You to stay inside,
on this rainy wintry night.

With the colour and aroma of oranges,
with new rhythm,
You have arrived today.

Raising blizzards,
You brought chilly cold.
You bring numerous intense tremors without pause.

Today, making the snow quiver with songs,
You play Your divine sport (liila').

Flowers have appeared on the decorative tree.
The plum trees are blossoming.

Today, have You thought of those
lying in deep hibernation?

On this winter night,
in silence and solitude,
You remain absorbed in extramundane,
transcendental thoughts.

in the rhythm of dance,

At the end of winter,

the birds in their nests sing Your songs.

Come, O Lord, let us all move

in the rhythm of dance,
spring comes and comes.

The fog shrouded 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 splendour
in thoughts of Him the mind blissfully floats.

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.

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

My heart is threaded in Your melody.

everything of mine floats away,
floats towards that divine one
to whom I give my salutations.

With a garland of songs in His hand,
He set me afloat on His stream of melody.

The mimusops jasmine blossoms have opened their eyes.
The Indian olive scatters joyous intoxication.

The black bee tries to speak,
intoxicated with sweet fragrance.

In the distant sky the stars are smiling
and pollen float in the air,
blending with the pollen of life.

In the gruelling 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.

Whisper Your secrets into my ears,
O supreme friend.
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.

You have come with the fiery resplendence of Bhaerava***.
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.

* the summer month

At dawn, piercing with the peacock's call
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.

the rains have come,
dancing and dancing in the fields of cane.
All the peacocks have started
prancing in rhythm.

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

The fragrance of jasmine
floats in the wet air;
the pollen of the mind smiles
in sweetest love.

Thrilling in blissful rhythms,
the dying trees have all arisen.
All the peacocks have started
prancing in rhythm.

let us move forward in concert.

If You do not want to move ahead,
then lie down and tell tales of fallen leaves.

Today, all are intoxicated with joyful rhythm.
With the piercing sound in the throats of peacocks,
this blushing earth dances along.
Its verdant beauty enchants the mind.

The people are full of gleeful mirth.
In all directions the restless wind blows.
With banter and festivity, songs and delight,
let us fill the lives of all.
Let us move forward together, in concert.

with full throated songs, with indomitable spirit.
Now, there is no time to look back or sleep.

in the fragrance of the night jasmine,
my mind is intoxicated with song.
In the sweet, gentle breeze,
on this earth, wet with dew,
in dance and rhythm, the world rushes along.

In the fragrance of the night jasmine
my mind is intoxicated with song.

Even the clouds are not forbidden
to move along the path of light.
Unfolding their wings,
the birds soar in the sky.
In this atmosphere of freedom,
there is a new touch of joy.
O where floats my overflowing heart?

In the fragrance of the night jasmine,
my mind is intoxicated with song.

Today, the flood of the river has receded
and the emerged lands are wearing new garments,
sweet and charming garments.
From this earth and the realms above,
who are You who has come so near,
within the embrace of all?

In the fragrance of the night jasmine,
my mind is intoxicated with song.

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 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 half closed 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 dew drenched 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 comes in life, it comes in the mind.

Autumn enchants the world
and it smiles

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.

The melody of the new is played today.

With the swaying of flowers,
the earth is wearing new garments,
making me forget all my pains.

Today, in the path of forward movement,
no obstacle stands in our way.
Our full throated songs
are all sung in one tune.

Forgetting all our differences,
merging together and laughing,
let us march ahead today.
Let us move together with all,
with the swaying of flowers.

In the rhythm of dance, with boundless bliss,
in the fragrant aroma of the pollen of life,
in this atmosphere of New Year's delight,
where is He who has made us all dance?
Where is He who has excited our hearts?

In all directions You spread welfare for all.
The new dawn is beckoning.

With the blue rays of the new day's light,
let the trees and creepers be verdant and fresh,
let the wild animals feel safe,
let the birds fill their throats with nectar
and in all directions soar above.

Let the differences between people be removed.
Let the wastage of intellect cease.
Let the power of all the destructive forces be contained.

The flow of melody moves on,
keeping pace with the flow of life.

Storms and dust storms,
love, affection and sweetness
are all bound in Your melody,
and intoxicated in Your song.

The new light of the new year
has blended its melody with Yours.
Nothing is now unmelodious
in this world of divine play.

I know, O Lord, You are close to me,
taking charge of my pleasures and pains.
When thinking of You,
I float in Your current,
in Your smile,
in the dawn of the new year.

Piercing the darkness of countless pains,

how many autumn and spring nights,
how many hopes and aspirations
have all passed by, floating away in tears?

On the eastern horizon the crimson dawn smiles,
the fragrance of flowers floats in the air.
With the new delight of the new year,
the memories of pain all vanish away.

to intoxicate the mind with fruits and flowers,

Those who have gone far away,
from far to farther,
are still alive.
With the sweet resonance of melody,
let their blessing today inspire others
to move along the path
in the current of melody.

The rotation of the six seasons,
the rise and fall of the polar snow,
in this atmosphere
I dedicate my life to the welfare of all.

let new light dawn upon us,
and, in the rhythms of the Lord of rhythm,
fill my life with new ideas.

Whatever You will give,
I will accept with outstretched palms.
Whatever You will say,
I will hold in my innermost heart.
Your life, I will offer back to You.
With Your name, let me be intoxicated.

The tender new leaves are now full grown.
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 countless rhythms,
with sweetest bliss,
let me carry Your message on.
Let new light dawn upon me.

will one day cover the arid desert

in rains and storms,

O tree, we are with You.

Let the desert thirst be quenched.
Let all the deserts of this universe

where we can lay our heads,

Knowingly we shall never neglect You.
Just as we maintain ourselves,
we shall maintain our house.
We want a peaceful little nest,
filled with the nectar of love.
More than this, we do not want.

In storms and typhoons,
in the roaring of thunder,
You are the giver of shelter.

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.

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 hide and seek?
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.

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,
far beyond that,
hold my hand and take me,
to that far distant 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.

I am never alone.
I am never alone anywhere.

The name that secretes the sweetest nectar,
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.

Holding the evening lamp,

come inside
and radiate light on all sides.

In the swinging of Your life,

With the magic of Your melody,

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?

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

In the golden light of Your pure smile,

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

my mind constantly yearns for You.

In the world of my heart,
with enchanting anklets,
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,
I want to attain You only.

In a sweet dream,
deep in my mind,
I attained You in countless flows.

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,

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.

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.

Why do You call me so irresistibly?
I am engrossed in a multitude of activities.
How can I spare time for You?
How can I respond to Your rhythms and tunes?

Your delightful melodies, Your conversation,
Your joyful intoxication, Your sweet songs?
When I am so engrossed in the world?

O Lord of my mind, don't You understand my difficulties?
Why do You call me again so entreatingly?

I am overburdened with work.
My time is running out.

March on towards Him!
March on! March on!

Go out to all the countries with the message of love.
Think of the sorrows and pains of all and help them.
The universal human society

today calls You with tear filled eyes.

Remove the load of afflictions from their heart
and wipe the tears from their eyes.
You have come to serve all.
Let this be understood by each and everyone.

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

all long for Your Grace.
Come closer to me, come still closer.
All seek Your Grace.

You sympathise 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.

You remain ever wakeful,

do not tear its petals.

In any low thought
I will not allow my mind to fall.
No, no, no, I won't do petty, selfish, small things.
I will seat my mind in the effulgence of meditation,
I will create a new world.

This world and the celestial realms are waiting for me
in breathless expectation.

I will fulfil 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,
and the pulsation of their existence.

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

With tremendous speed,

He attracts all towards Himself.

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.

to rouse me from slumber,

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,

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.

You are in my mind
and You are in the minds of all.
All those residing in Your mind
long for Your divine shelter.

The loftiest mountain bows down to You.
Peacefully grounded,
it longs for the dust of Your holy feet.

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 self oblivion.
Such a one loses himself/herself in Cimmerian darkness.

Everyone is most near to me,

everyone displays compassion.

Make all lives overflow with songs.
In their rhythms the earth today
breaks out in new melodies.
The rise and fall of music
brings joy to all living beings.

Today, in resonance,
graciously fill the pores of every mind with hope.
Kindle the earth enthralling shining light

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 dust motes move at split second 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.

My sleeping heart has woken up
and is now moving towards You.
It moves on and on,
tearing off all bondages.

No infatuation will hold it back,
and no object control it.
In its movements unto You, it smashed both.

Can a few cobwebs
stop the movement
of a mighty elephant?

Unmindfully, ignoring the presence of obstacles,
my heart rushes on towards the supreme entity.

In attaining You, I attained everything.
I have set aside childish plays.

As a moth flies towards the flame,
not knowing it rushes into the face of death,
similarly, abandoning spirit for matter is death
I have now understood this fact.

I shall henceforth rush towards You,
singing only songs of You.

You are the end of all desires and attainments.
This essence I have come to realise.

What for You descended upon this dusty earth,

For days and nights,
throughout ages,
I waited with the light of hope

Do You know

You came in the stillness of the night,

to make flowers bloom on hard rock,
to vibrate all with joy.

I concede defeat to the aroma of the gardenia.

Instead of diving within,

I did not respect Your advice.

all unspoken words,

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.

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.

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.

Come into my life.
Come into my mind.
Come with all suggestions of dance.

O ocean of beauty!
Fill the pot of my heart to the brim.

In half bloom,
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.

have You been for so long?

Seeing and loving You, O Lord,
all the embankments of my heart
break off.

You exist, therefore I exist also.
With Your vibrations,
I keep on dancing
and leave aside all preoccupations.

You come to me with a benign smile, why?

Today, I merge the flow of my life in Your melody
and float afar in joy.

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, far distant 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.

You have come,
You have stolen my mind.
You have made me forget
all worries of life.

In the stream of ideation,
day and night,
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.

In this autumnal wind,
the One who the mind longs for,
remains far.

My mind, afflicted with pains,
rushes towards the path of His arrival.

Why, why, why is He so far?

I am intoxicated by His ideation,
unable to forget.
In this lonely moonlit night,
I am dying from pangs of separation.

Into my ears, the honeybee whispers
melodious songs of optimism.

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 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,

tell me.

flowers will bloom on dry branches
and the dumb will speak.

continue granting me strength to face them.

Your eternal song
keeps my eyes wide awake at all times.

Through a flow of melodies,

I keep on searching You in the recesses of my heart.
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.

I always keep my mind's eye awake,
my Beloved Friend.

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.

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.

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 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.

Whereto they go, nobody knows.

Sometimes consciously

they drift away;

at other times even in an awakened state.

Where was I?

What for did I come?

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?

O eternal companion, come!
Come to me with each breath I take.

Sit close and stay beside me.
Fill my mind with fragrance.
Who else is mine except 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.

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 beggar 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 fulfilment.

I have offered my life to You.
But I do not know,
whether You have accepted it or not.

I have offered knowingly, intentionally,
surmounting all obstacles.

In storms,
under the onslaught of meteorite falls,

I continue moving on the path,

When I remember that You are with me,

nor am I shaken by any conspiracy.

You encircle everything
no one is ever left alone.

You are the lotus flower amidst thorns of pain.
You are the cool and soothing ointment on burns and pains.
You are the all dissolving touchstone

and the most charming flower in my garden.

I exist, because You exist.
It is due to You, that my life finds illumination.

with a sweet impregnated voice,
did You call me?

Due to inertial deafness and a restless mind,
I could not hear that message.

You called me through sky and wind,
through the murmuring of the stream,
through the fragrance of the flower,
through the smile of the infant,
through the laughter of the youth
and through the enchanting beauty of the earth.

Continue singing Your affectionate words to all,
O Lord.

Your flute once awakened
through sweet ideas,
smile, rhythm and step
all living and nonliving entities in this world.

How much time has passed since then?
The mental Yamuna' river has meanwhile dried up.
You did not come,
You did not play Your flute,
and You did not resonate sound
into the ethereal world.

By remembering You,
we shall complete Your incomplete work .

Vrajava'sii:

Only to see Krs'n'a,
we have come here with crying hearts,
with great expectations,
taking so much trouble
to decorate Him with redsweet paint
and to feed Him buttermilk to our satisfaction.

Kris'n'a:

I am very busy with innumerable works,
so I don't have time to accept the red sweet 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

and brought the sweet dish for the Young's satisfaction.
Kris'n'a:

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

Vrajava'sii:

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.

You came in the dark night

oscillate till today.

The flow of life moves through rise and fall,
no pause or comma can stop it.

By to Your rhythm,
the world becomes filled with rhythm.
In my mind that flame (of rhythm) forever glows.

Now that You have come, stay forever,
radiating rhythmic beat into the depth of my heart.

From afar and from near,
I listen to Your songs
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 earth became holy
by the touch of Your feet dust.
Life was invigorated by Your touch.
You loved and smiled at me, opening my eyes.

By Your blessing, the earth got new life.
By Your rhythm and melody,

come into my life,

Come with the dance and rhythm

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 ever present
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.

Like a peacock unfolding its tail,

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.

All I can offer is my wholehearted surrender
and pranam (salutation).
By accepting these, provide fulfilment to me.

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 lyre string resonates.
I did not listen to it before.

During the deep darkness on my path,
Your memory arose 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?

My formerly pain filled life,

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 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.

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,

You came when it was cloudy;
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.

When You came the clouds were filled with melody.
I was egoistically silent; You went away very far.

Today, sit close to me,
come near me
and remain in meditative posture with a gentle smile.
Now, there is no ego.

I keep on singing songs to the tune of Your flute.
The jingling sound of Your ankle bells has filled my mind.

O Lord,
today I got acquainted with You in a new way.
By removing my deep attachment,
O Cognitive Faculty,
I attained You.

In my garden, I observe that tide has come.
The intoxicated wind is full of sweetness.

In my ears only one melody resonates.
By it, the entire world is being swayed.
To each rhythmic wave of that melody,
my vitality swings.

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

I have been waiting for You by the arrival path.
You did not come nor listened to me until now.

Today, my heart resembles the ketakii (screw pine) flower
of the rainy season that looses all its fragrance to the wind,
remaining standing empty handed in solitude.

And yet, that fragrance spreads out across the blue sky.
To the agony of a withered pollen, do You not listen?

You sent me onto this earth all alone
and, by sending me away, forgot me.
What a love and affection of Yours is this?

I am waiting for You in the dark house,
lighting a candle.
Do not delay further, time is passing by.

What sort of stone heart have You got?
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
and of those who laugh or cry for You,
You do not pay heed to it.

And yet , in spite of that,
I shall keep on moving forward on Your path.
Know for granted
that I will not leave any stone unturned.

such enchanting melodies?

Awakening rhythm and radiating illumination?
Dancing towards me without speaking?
Coming close without having introduced Himself?

Beyond the universe, free from all desires,
forming the basis of all, extremely pious
You pervade all minds and all vitality;
there is nothing You do not know.

O Lord, embodiment of intense bliss,
You are full of affection.
O Lord of the universe,
You remain ever awake, watching over all,
No one is ever ignored by by You.

Into the mirror of my mind,
with a lively melody,
Your song came floating.

Even without seeking it,
it came and got caught by my mind.
I am unable to forget that intensity of melody,
still calling me time and again even today.

It created a joining bridge
between Your heart and mine.
All my attachments and all my restlessness
were tamed by Your melody.

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 far off 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.

Why have You tied me with a binding rope? Why?
Why have you immersed me in tears? Why?
I can never forget You.
What a difficult situation have I been trapped in?

Hence, come secretly into my mind,
come in solitude..
and become my own.

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).

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.

You are present now
and You will forever remain.

O Lord, like the light in the morning sun,
You shine in my mind.
You always shine in all minds.
You are the lamp of all lives
and all incantations.

With everybody, with all Your subjects,
You keep on playing Your divine game.
You are the creator of all forms.
You are the base of all meditations.
Knowingly or unknowingly,
I am attracted towards You.

You never come, You never go;

You are every mantra that I hear.
With everyone and everything You play.

You are the creator of all beauty,
You are the source of all meditations.
Knowingly or unknowingly I always look at You.

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.

Why in this world,
does screaming appear

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

SE JAKHAN ELO

The sky was full of clouds when He came.
He came to remove all darkness.

I could not understand Him,
nor could I understand His utterance,
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.

The first meeting between You and me
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?

I continue waiting for Your arrival,
my mind is eagerly waiting to hear Your footsteps.

Your sweet smile and fragrance
awakens hope in disheartened people.
To Your feet dust,
human beings of this world bow down.

Your form and colour,
Your radiations of light and fragrance,
Your liveliness, quench all thirst.

I am Yours and so are all.
The inert mind does not understand this.

To Your tunes, rhythm, melody and attraction
all are dancing.

Those who say You are cruel,
do not understand Your value.

Your sternness maintains Your softness covered.
Those who say You are merciless,
move away from You.

Those who know You and came close to You,
know that no other is as goodhearted as You are.

In Your ideation, I am constantly absorbed.

On the earth, in the ocean,
in the world and in heaven,
in the sweet morning light,
in all actions and natural characteristics of life,
I know You alone as essence.

In the blue sea, in fountains,
in the clear sky,
in the sweet intoxicating and fragrant breeze,
I become immersed in bliss,
encountering Your divine game all around.

About Your attributes,
I keep on thinking time and again.
Other then You,
who else does love me?

When the night
turns into the crimson effulgence
of the morning sun,
in that colour,
I find Your touch and divine nectar.

The sun at dusk, beckons me over
and wants to speak to me.
It calls me from afar.

I am never alone.
You are always there, ever looking after me.

Your divine game,

Hiding within the mind,
You do not want to get caught.

By observing Your sweet smile
and by listening to Your enchanting flute,
the mind goes on floating towards You.
Unto You it is being pulled.

Even though I want to forget You,
(I never do, and) by never forgetting You,
I constantly cry.

Why did You tie me unto You
with a floral rope?
Tell me: what is it that You want?

bringing along decorations of light.

You came during a silent period,
on a gentle and sweet breeze.

You removed from me all misery and selfish desires.
A tremor went through the sky and through the earth.
It stirred the rhythm of everyone's heart.

You dissolved my entire ego
and shed drops of nectar on me.

Neither arrival nor departure,
O Lord,
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.

Always awakening ever newer rhythms.

Why are You hiding?
Look at me with open eyes.

I will always move along Your path,

Fulfil 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.

Beyond the world and constituent of the world,

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

searching for You outside,

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 numerous 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.

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.

how can I ever forget it?

Come to me,
return now and fill my mind.
Ignite the lamp of my life
and decorate the path with beautiful flowers.

Expecting Your arrival,
I will keep on waiting (sitting),
I will count the moments and sing for You.

Let this memory of Yours
remain forever shining on my mental plate.

You are the lotus of my mind.
You make my mind bloom.
Continue forever singing in my mind.

Your smile remains ever awake in my mind.
In the vineyard of my mind, bees hum in swarms.
They come in the hope of getting Your nectar.
You alone puts an end to their stomach rumbling.

Today, my intense thirst has been quenched.
Today, my love became filled with enchanting adoration.
Today, all my earnestness merged into You.

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.

dancing towards me
amidst the moon in the sky
and a breeze of love in the air?

Who comes to me, smilingly,
inducing a divine fragrance
into the garden of my heart?

The flow of the fountain is intoxicated with melodies.
Who has come,

into this dreamful environment,
in a new adoration,
carrying so much love for all?

The flood of the moonlight has broken down all boundaries;
the night queen of the garden remains intoxicated in bliss.
That bliss today overflows and stirs my heart.

Who are You,
spreading forth a nectarial flow of that kind?

I have been waiting for Your arrival for so many eras!

You had forgotten that one person
was constantly meditating on You,
calling You again and again.
When it occurred to Your mind,
You came rushing towards me,
dancing with Your rosy feet.

I cannot attain You by the strength of my spiritual effort;
You blessed me for no reason.

By Your grace, I attained You,
and all my aspirations became fulfilled.

Into my life You came.
In my eyes You took Your seat.
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 desert dry heart
and quenched its thirst.
By showering Your uncalled grace upon me,
You cleared all dirt from my mind.

Due to becoming inflated with pride
by the strengths You bestowed upon me,
I had gone far away from You.

Today, amidst destitution,
and a tear drenched heart,
You returned again.

Due to Your consciousness, all are living.
The earth is filled with Your impulse.

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

and intoxicating melodies and rhythms.

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.

Because You exist, the world exists,
You are unlimited and above all limits.
I came floating like a flower in the river.
I float on to the currents of Your tides.

In my internal and external existences,
my life becomes lost in You.

You came with an intoxicating fragrance, in a deep dream.
You came in a sweet and affectionate divine play.

Your charming smile made me become restless.
That sweet gesture filled my entire being.
Attaining You, my enchanted heart
lost itself to some unknown realm.

I do not know whether Your divine play has any limits,
but this much do I know:

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?

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.

You have merged Yourself in Your own

whatever conclusion I derive by reasoning and contemplation,
in the depth of it all,

You exist hidden,
absorbed in a flow of sweetness.

Within negativity, Your positivity persists over and above.
Your light puts an end to all pains.

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

Attaining You,

In all ten directions,

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.

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

I am unable to forget You.

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?

Sitting on the royal bird,
the prince flew through the sky,
towards an unknown destination.

Wearing a blue turban embroidered with gold,
he vanished into the distance.

The seven magnolia brothers,
rushed forth and asked
whereto their sister
the trumpet flower,
had disappeared.

The prince, on his horse,
returned the sister to her brothers.

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

The sister had applied an auspicious mark
to her brothers' foreheads.

I love only You.
Why I love, I do not know.

I have been waiting for You,
Why, I do not know.

My eyes look out for You, day and night.
Why is that so?
My mind remains ever alert,
remembering You
in both good as well as bad moments.

Come into my mind,
in sleep or in my awakened state,
No other, do I contemplate.

No matter how high waves may be,
no matter how intense my pain may become,
I shall carry on overcoming them.
I do not want, any other than You.

Merge Your hue into the crimson effulgence.
Come with a floral adornment,
carrying in Your hands, colourful blossoms.

Draw Your psychic picture on my mind
in ever new lines and sketches.
Awaken within me new ideas
and start up a new impulse of life.

Come to me in ever new surroundings
and, with the beauty of Your smile,
enchant my mind.
Come with the message of a new era.
Be the festival of light of a new evening.

Come and remove all my pains
with a new expression of love.
Come and crush the dark shadow
with the effulgence of Your golden chariot.

All are within You.
Nothing exists outside You.

Even though not everyone may know You,
everyone pays homage to You.

You are the fragrance of all flowers.
You are the 'Padmanabhi' of all creation.

In Your touch,
form and flow
amidst all unknown,
I know only You.

You are the glow of gems.
You are the light of stars.
You are the nectar of the earth.
I ever salute You.

There is neither coming nor going for You.
Your ever new divine game
finds expression every instant.
I know You as Virat Purusa.

Applying a blue decoration on my eyes,
the rain arrived today in a new dress.
Soft clouds have gathered
in welcome of Your arrival.

Today, the peacock (of my mind) spreads its wings
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 centred 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.

so that I may ever look at You to my heart's content.
Come into my mental garden.

Fill my mind with fragrance and murmur
Fill it with decorations of colourful flowers.
Fill that great sky of my mind!

Purifying the galaxies with sandalwood paste,
come slowly with a gentle breeze
and a soft jingle bell sound.

In this autumn of sweetness,
bring enthusiasm and festivity,
bring dance and songs.

Let me become intoxicated
by the happy attainment of Your smile
and the sound of Your flute.

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 joy intoxicate 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.

Melodies float magically in from far horizons
from the deep serenity of distant skies.
I look to You Lord, and You alone.

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 closed doored rooms
and suffer ceaseless agony and pain?

He beckons me ingeniously.

and wonder
in how many ways, my friend,

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.

You have lost Yourself in the multitudes
and I cannot find You.

I search for You from dawn till dusk.
Show me Your grace and make me look up to You.

Tell me how can I call You effectively.
I will not remain mute,
I shall certainly find You out.

Out of my genuine love for You
I am rushing headlong towards You,
shattering the walls of all obstacles in my path.

I shall certainly find You.

Intense love drives me towards You,
smashing tall walls of obstacles on my path.
I shall surely find You out.

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

You came in the deep dark night
to pour forth nectar like 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 rain drenched night,
beloved, come,
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
within my heart.

I love You with my whole being,
both within and without.

Entranced by Your winsome smile
and the sweet melody of Your flute,
my mind drifts away.
How did You enchant me so?
How can I not succumb to Your loving bonds,
as delicately engaging as flowers.

I cannot but reel
inebriated

Because of Your graceful form,
our beautiful earth basks in her splendour.
That's why I see You in everything.

You exist in all expressions,
so nothing in the universe can be lost from You.
I also move in You.

You appear in thoughts and recollections
of all living beings,
and all entities exist within Your mind.
Not even for a moment can I imagine
that anything exists outside You.

____________________________

As You are the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm,
so this earth of ours has assumed her miraculous form.
I perceive You in her all,

in her every existence and flow.

As she moves in You,
so I also move.
In You, nothing can we lose.
You pervade the thoughts of all who are hers,
who are born within Your mind.

Not for a fraction of an instant
can I imagine
that anything exists outside You.

You have secured Your safe haven in the minds of all.
None exists save You.

You, the warm illumination of all light,
enlighten our little lamps with Your brilliance.

Our lamps burn with Your very light,
yet our foreheads become stained with sticky soot.
You exist so everyone exists.
You remain in the midst of all.

Our love, affection, kindness,
compassion, learning and intellect,
all result from Your sweet grace,
and under Your benevolent guidance
we will develop them all.

Come gently and take shelter
in the deepest cavity of my mind.
I want to keep You close to my heart.

enlighten our lives.

Come take Your shelter

You, the eternal, ever pure object
of supreme adoration,
have created a tremendous wave
the the ocean of effulgence.
You fill the earth with exquisite colours and forms,
and make her vibrant with life.

You have awakened the universe with Your divine touch.
It is full of Your refreshing vigour,

intoxicated with Your joy
and radiant with Your brilliant light.

You are one, yet You have enlivened the world
with Your countless forms.
You have created the vast skies
where millions of stars scintillate
their multicoloured lights.

To those in the depths of dark despair
You appear as the pole star.
You are one, but in Your myriad forms
You have come to bathe each entity
in the eternal waters of liberation.

In azure heavens You scintillate myriad colourful stars

You, the One,
into a hundred forms divide
to bathe us in eternal seas
and liberate our minds.

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 ever buoyant

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
Sublime consciousness incarnate.
Grant my heartfelt prayer
to surrender at Thy feet.

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 ever buoyant 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.

How shall we realise the one
who beyond the boundaries of finitude
sprouts from the midst of finitude
yet is the repository of finitude?

As I contemplate You
I begin to merge in You.
The casket of my mind
saturated with sweet pandanas' pollen
rushes in total abandon to You.

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 shephali 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.

and my love I wove into a garland in my heart
a garland drenched with tears.

Now the petals have dropped,

You didn't see me.
You didn't try to understand

With the melody of Your laughter
and the mystic music of Your flute
You inundate the world.

Wherever I gaze, be it near, be it far
I see nothing but You.
Whatever I think, in the present, in the past
is enmeshed in You.
A sweet smattering of Your sandal paste fragrance
pervades the garden of paradise.

In this temple of forms
throughout days and nights
You play Your eternal sound
adoring the Formless Divine.
Dispelling darkness
You pierce the secret cavern of my mind
and shatter the tethers of its bondages.

I shall never forswear enlightenment's road
I shall strive to make one, mind, body and soul
I shall never be swayed by vice nor by sin.

I shall walk the straight path
Speak the plain truth
Think honest and noble thoughts.
At no place, in no time, this self shall I exalt.

To the earth I have come for Your work, my Lord,
Your gospels are the very breath of my life.
In my sleep, in my dreams, with my wakeful sight
I shall contemplate nothing but You.

You bedeck them in garments of Your choice
You tinge red Your crimson thought on our mental plates
and spread blue in distant sky.

The fresh green of the creepers and trees is Yours
and the beauty of our verdant minds.

You infuse sweetness into the human heart
its affection, its love, its great sacrifice.
By the deftness of Your masterful stroke
You exalt us to the status of Gods.

my restless mind
yearns for one.

In the silent night
my life breath pines
repeatedly
for that unknown entity.

I move heaven and earth
in my search for You.
O where have You hidden Yourself?

I probe the seven spheres.
My sorrowful mind, entrenched in its fears,
strives only to realise You.

"I have lived my life in vain
Neglecting to worship the adorable Lord.
Now I shall lose Him
the All virtuous, life's rarest gem.

How unfortunate I am
to have not consumed
even a drop
of that ocean of love."

O shame! I have lived my life in vain,
I neglected to serve my Beloved Lord.
He came within my grasp
and yet
I could not attain Him,
I could not contain Him
within my fickle heart's breath.

Cruel fate has meted me out this pitiful lot.
Within my grasp He came
and yet
that supreme treasure
I could not attain,
I could not devote myself to Him.

Today I will start anew.
Today I will pledge a vow
to honour Him.

Today, I will dedicate my all
to follow Him
to serve Him
to know Him.

who endowed You with this name?

Tell my why did You create
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?

a special seat

But alas,
such a secluded shelter I cannot find
in all my mind,
O Lord,
in all my measureless mind.

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,
and with those delicate petals
shall I decorate
a special seat for You.

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.

My life has borne fruit today.

drowned in ecstatic waves of total surrender

I am merged in this Supreme madness.
My mind freed from the cycles of life and death

whom first I saw
upon coming to this world.

My mind is enamoured
with Your exquisite hues.
In a hundred ways
You provide for me,
with simple sustenance
to quench my thirst,
with nectarial fragrance
to exalt my birth.

I shall serve You well
in this, my universal home.
I shall serve till
Your emancipation
will tear asunder all bondage.

You do not know
the sorrow
of the fallen leaves.
You do not feel the pain
of my stream of tears.

I regale hearts
with forms of exquisite grace.
I exude sweet fragrance
and intoxicate my guests
with enchanting play.

Do not crush me in Your negligence.
Forsake me not,
like a lonely bloom
bereft of nectar
in the desert of a desolate heart.

Your love is merely by word of mouth.
You heed not my earnest yearnings.

I search the deepest recess of my heart
with the teachings I have learnt from You
and yet
You make restless my mind
and in its turbid waters
You gleefully hide.

You arrange this festivity
of colour and form
and engage Yourself therein,
smiling mischievously behind Your sport.

Without a glimmer Your grace, my Lord,
who can glimpse Your mysterious face?

You do as You please.
We never question Your ways.
You make us laugh,
You make us weep.
We see it all
with two sealed lips
and never say a word.

Why this creation,
we cannot understand.
Why chariots of destruction run,
we cannot comprehend Your ways.
Why dark invades the light,
what cause behind this childish play,
we cannot know.

Why have You mended mute mouths
that they may glibly debate,
why have You crazed us with Your science
and thereby shadowed Your own existence
with our worldly ways.

Don't try to make us blind, O Lord,
don't fool us with Your colourful games
of successive light and shade.

On a rain drenched night
at a lonely site,
my friend deserted me.

What did that lightning flash portend
amidst such heavy rains?
The pearl necklace is gone;
my friend has deserted me.

My heart has been wrung
to its very core.
What consternation!
He has gone.

Thunder flickers on my eyelids;
it is a sign,
but I cannot fathom His design.
Ah, frustration!
He has gone,
devastating my life
and I yearn for His return.

Day and night
my lonely mind pines
for Him.
He has gone
and I yearn for His return.

All nature's creatures sleep at night.
Why does shiuli stay awake?
Mother, kindly tell me why.

All other flowers play by day
laughing and dancing in fragrant array
while around them black bees busily buzz
collecting their hidden delights.

I love too the day
as the flowers do
and so I know them well.
I know them all
so very well,
their colours and sweet smells.

The flowers and the puppies, all,
the black bees and the myna birds,
lay down their heads in sweet repose
during the dark of night.
Shiuli alone defies dusk's call
and proudly proclaims her special role,
"Look I am still awake!"

Kindly tell me mother why
shiuli's special ways?
Out of love for whom
she serenades the night
and shuns the light of day?

Listen close, my darling child
why shiuli loves the night.
She feels so shy in the light of day
and hides away her face.
Shiuli's precious petals fall
at the break of every dawn,
when You, my sweetest little one,
from deepest sleep awake.

Dawn's crimson rays
illuminate my eternal longing,
and I pour out songs
from the core of my being
for love
of the ever blissful one.

The rose red sky radiates His presence.
The gentle breeze wafts His sweetness
through the expanses of my mind
as I contemplate
the formless one.

I have surrendered all.
My heart overflows with joy.
Exalted on the strains of His sacred song
my ecstatic mind merges into
the Infinite one.

Why did You create this world?

Do You believe the afflicted dance

Do You think they long to survive while dying a living death?

O formless Lord
for whom do You wait anxiously
in this temple of forms?

You entangle us in illusory love
for that which will not last long.
For these forms must merge
in Your formlessness
through Your grace.

Why did You so sportingly create
this colourful ephemeral world?
Its movement has its place, no doubt,
in Your circular imaginative flow.

Yet why did You choose to delude our minds
who must ultimately merge in You.
Why did You create this temple of forms,
and for whom do You anxiously wait?

Laughing billowing waves of hilarious joy

Swaying vibrant rhythm in the depths of hearts

Your rosy feet are incomparable,

My longing remains bathed in ceaseless waves of tears,
longing hidden secretly in the depths of my mind.

My heart is broken, my mouth dumb.
I have cried and cried for You,
mind's dearest jewel
who disappeared one dark dreary night.

I have suffered unutterable pain,
shedding streams of copious tears.
Let me forget You.
Don't reappear, You,
who have forsaken me.

But alas, I cannot forget You.
I think of You again and again.
I try in vain to remove You from my mind.
Why don't You come
to replace the pangs of this loss
with the ecstatic joy of attainment.

____________________________

Bathed in ceaseless waves of tears
remains, my longing,
secret, hidden deep in the caverns of mind.

My heart lies broken,
my mouth, dumb,
though I cry and I cry
for You, the one,
the dearest jewel of my mind
who disappeared
on a dark and dismal night.

I suffer unutterable pain
shedding silent streams of tears.
Let me forget You!
Don't reappear,
You who have forsaken me once.

But,
alas,
I cannot forget You.
I think of You
again and again
though I try in vain
to remove You from my mind.

Why don't You come?
Why don't You please
replace the pangs of this loss
with ecstatic joy
of attainment.

O pain I have suffered for You.
Do You not want to know?

You, rarest jewel of the seabed;
You, star of a distant sky.

Your heart comes not within my reach.
Diving deep into the ocean of form,
I will certainly realise You,
jewel like formless one.

Floating in the limitless reaches of mind,
I will certainly attain You,
O distant star.
You shall one day come within my reach.
The sadhana of my entire life will be fruitful.

The ocean of beauteous forms is approachable.
My heart's sky is filled with Your existence.
That's why You have willingly deluded my grasp,
You can no longer make me forgetful;
You can delude me no more.

______________________

O, the pain I have borne!
Don't You want to know,

jewel like formless one.

In the limitless expanse of mind
I shall reach You,
star of a distant sky.

One day
You shall come within my ken/grasp,
the sadhana of my life
shall bear fruit.

I approach
the ocean of beauteous forms,
heart's sky alive
with Your presence,
and yet
You elude me still.

O Lord, remove my forgetfulness,
delude me no more!

Who are You who came in my life today
causing a sensation?

Your advent is a flash of lightening,
like the radiance of a million jewels.

In my heart You smile
with the brilliance of innumerable hearts.
You fill the earth with the fragrance of flowers
and make me lose my identity in rapturous melody.

In a sweet honeyed flow of compassion,
You make me forget all sorrows and pains.
My life dances like a flowing fountain.
You intoxicate me with Your indescribable beauty.

You began to love me suddenly
without knowing anything of me.
You dispel the Cimmerian darkness with superb force.
Who are You who came into my life
causing a sensation in this universe?

I don't want anything from You.
I simply want to love You.
Remain always with me
and flash a sweet smile at me.

When the southern spring breeze
wafts the fragrance of flowers,
I will sit beside You,
mingling my heart in You.

I will not accept anything,
even if You wish to give me.
I shall merge my life in You.
In the sweet moonlit night,
I will clasp Your hand in mine.

I will walk beside You in exalted awareness.

Remain always with me

Colourful clouds beckon to me.
How can I stay in doors?

The peacock of my mind
with its tail outspread
longs to dance in the blue void.

I want to sing the songs of breaking cycles.
I wish to remove the artificial boundaries around me.
My mind rushes to a distant horizon,

the limitless void,
leaving aside the crude boundaries around me.

That supreme entity sends His call
always to me
through the light rifts in colourful clouds.
I cannot ignore that call.
What a great consternation!

______________________

Colourful clouds beckon me.
How can I stay indoors?

Mind's peacock

dances on the shores of the limitless blue sea.

Singing songs of breaking cycles,
I shall traverse all false boundaries,
rushing mind towards the distant void
dissolving crude bonds in infinitude.

The Supreme One calls
through rifts in colourful clouds.
What an obligation!
I cannot ignore Him.

A lotus of shining gold has bloomed today on this earth,
spreading its sweet fragrance all around

to regale my heart and mind.

Come unto me, sweet fragrance floating in the breeze.
Come and see, black bees plunder all pollen.

My restless heart cannot be assuaged.
Look all and see how determined is He to love.

My eyes are downcast with their diffident love.
Bring that lotus unto my heart.
All the honey of my life overflows
with the thought of that supreme one.

You came today, O Lord of my mind.
You came today to churn my inner most being
and bind tight my heart.

All beauty is Your beauty.
All radiate Your effulgence.
You illuminated the ideative world of the living.
You poured sweetness into creation
which incarnated as Your forms.

Before You, neither was there bhava
nor an entity beyond the world of idea.

The three worlds revolved not in the flow of creation.
There was neither existence nor nonexistence.

There was neither microcosm nor even this vast cosmos.
There was neither day nor night.

There was only You ever there,
immeasurable, self created.

Lives have past in expectation of Your advent,
yet none of my hopes have been realised.

None have come whom I longed for.
They have thronged in my mind
whom I never called.

All love, appearances and passings have drifted
on causing a rift between the present and the past.

While walking in the flower garden,
thorns pricked my feet.
In the whirl wind,
I savoured/sensed a sweet southern breeze.

My hopes are illusive mirages.
Only Your two rosy feet remain
as the last refuge
of my despondent heart.

I cannot blame You for that.

I did not search for You
and so my repentant heart burns.

You were so close yet I called You not.
My days and nights have passed in vain.
The more I recall in the twilight of my life,
the more pain I feel.

All come to this earth for a limited time to work,
and yet, we waste our time is useless pursuits.
No use to blame the Lord for this.

Sometimes I attain something, sometimes I don't.

Sometimes I feel happy and sometimes sad.

Black bees buzz around the flowers
in expectant anticipation.
You are the dearest of all.

unknown to all.

We fail to seek You within,
but look for You outside,

Lord, will You never come within our easy reach?
How long shall we yearn for You?
Is there no end to our anxious expectation of Your advent?
Buffeted by waves of illusion and delusion,

we have lost all the sweet fragrant pollen of mind.
We lie strewn like fallen flowers.
We know not what the future holds.
We have wasted our time running after mirages.
We have pursued the ephemeral.

Catch hold of my hand and turn me around.
Don't allow me to be misguided by the spell of delusion.

We have pursued the ephemeral.

Catch hold of my head/(hand?) and turn me round.
Don't allow me to succumb to delusion.

In a flood of light
the river descends,
playing its eternal game
of building and unbuilding,
flowing endlessly on.

It moves forever forward,
babbling on.
It stops not at any obstacle;
it heeds not day or night.
Its movement is dance,
its language incessant song.

Mingling into the surging waves
of universal life,
it becomes a vast ocean.

In a flower garden a black bee buzzes,
whispering something.
She desires only the flowers' nectar,
shunning all else.
She sucks nectar to its lees,
that treasure secluded with utmost care, secretly,
in the inner most recesses of floral buds.

She has exposed herself,
thief of the pollen's sweet fragrance,
fragrance which has vanished
along with its rich nectarial source.

She has coated herself in thick fragrant pollen
and, thus adorned, announces the news to all.

Tears have drenched the garland woven for You.
The sun has set.
Evening has descended.

Words unexpressed retreat into mental oblivion.
He promised to come, but He has gone.
Ages have passed, but my friend has not returned.
Drowsiness has overtaken me.
Night has descended.

Is it that He doesn't understand my sorrows and pain.
Those who come, come to leave again.

Those who go, go with the promise to return.

My friend is hidden everywhere,
in all ages and in all lands.
In all words He hears everything.

but ages have passed
and my friend has not returned.
Drowsiness overtakes me
with encroaching night.
Perhaps He feels not
my painful plight.

He who comes,
comes to leave again.
He who departs,
parts with the promise to return.

My friend is hidden
in all ages, in all lands.
In all sounds He hears
all cries.

You are as tender as a lotus flower
and as severe as a thunder bolt.
I have understood this supreme truth.

You are fragrant with
sandal paste of the Malaya mountain.
You are more attractive than the garden of paradise.
I have beheld this beautiful sight.

Reflected in the dark water of evening,
golden light shimmers.
Reflected in our minds,
in hearts laden with agony and pain,
Your stream of nectar dances.

When You are reflected in meditation,
all the three worlds dance in rhythm
intoxicated with Your melody.
I have realised this truth.

No thought is equal to the thought of You.
You are Supreme,
above all else in beauty and majesty.

I have accepted this Supreme Truth.

a shimmering golden light.
Reflected in our minds
in hearts heavy with sorrow and pain
Your current of nectarial delight.

In the depths of meditation
Your reflection excites
the three worlds to dance
in melodious trance.
I lived this truth.

No thought is equal

You are Supreme,
unparalleled in beauty and majesty.
I surrender to Your truth.

You songs are like thunderbolts
in storms and tempests.

Let there be,

On the blue sea a golden lotus bloomed.
No one knew.

Its scarlet petals remained untouched.
Full of vivacity,
its vital golden pollen
exuded delectable floral nectar.
And yet, no black bees approached
to hover lightly
and savour her bounty.

A colourful fairy from the land of clouds
was enamoured of the beauty of the lotus.
Clutching the golden lotus to her heart
away she flew.

Nobody knew, no one paid heed to it.

The Lord who steals vanity
never tolerates anyone's vanity.
If one is proud and vain,
one is bound to be defeated.

Two princes set out
to capture the thief of the golden lotus.
They hoped to be victorious.
They surrounded the blue sea
with boats, ferries, sampans
and all variety of local craft.

They were sure of catching the flower stealer
and exposing the fairy's evil tricks.

But their minds and hearts were full of vanity.
They were not aware
that God was mysteriously smiling at their vanity.

The fairy carried magic arrows,
and managed to steal away the flower
without the least fear.

For the vain
defeat is preordained.

Two proud princes
in hope of victors' glory
set out to capture
the lotus thief.

With boats and ferries
and a host of craft
they openly surrounded the shining Blue Sea.

They were egotistically sure
of ensnaring their prey
and exposing her cunning ways.

But God was intent on foiling their pride.
The clever fairy
armed with magic spears
outwitted the princely team.

She succeeded, the coveted bloom to steal
without the least inkling of fear.

Sleep, drowsiness, anger, lethargy,
procrastination and fear are the six enemies
of human kind, powerful vices.

Even great personalities may be degraded by these,
what to speak of common people.

The princes after being outwitted by the fairy
set out to an unknown destination.

They began to search for a magic horse
without which it was impossible to catch the fairy.
Inflated with royal vanity,
they didn't heed the needs of suffering human beings.
They couldn't win the love of their hearts.

They lost their common sense due to the spell of vanity.
They lost their intellect,

and were finally tricked into defeat in their quest,
and they became captives of the demon.

They languished away in a dark prison cell.

Due to honesty, simplicity and spiritedness,
ordinary human beings become extra ordinary.

The Youngest prince was graced with these qualities.
He too set out to catch the fairy.

He went to the Blue Sea
and set up ever vigilant sentries
around the lotus grove.

He spent a sleepless night,
watching over the blooming flower.
At the end of the night,
the fairy came,
nervously plucked the lotus
and flew away.

To catch the fairy, that magic horse was needed.
The Young prince moved heaven and earth
in search of that magic horse.

Finally He came to the land of the demon
and discovered the horse.

He captured that capricious creature
with the love of all the needy folk
whose hearts He had won.

Due to the righteous auspicious wish of his own
and righteous intelligence,
the dishonest demon finally admitted
that human beings
are not inferior to demons in valour.

____________________________

Honesty, simplicity and dynamicity
make ordinary humans extra ordinary,
and the Youngest prince was thus graced.

He too undertook
the flower thief to catch.

On the Blue Sea
around the lotus grove
he posted vigilant sentries.

A sleepless night He spent
guarding the precious bloom,
but alas,
in the early morn
the clever fairy
stole his charge
and away she flew.

He needed the magic horse
the fairy thief to catch
and He moved heaven and earth
in his search.

At last, in the demon's land
he discovered the capricious steed,
and with the special help
of the needy folk
whose hearts, through service, He had won
he captured it.

The demon succumbed
and from the depths of his own righteous heart
acknowledged the strength and valour
of his human kin.

In the dreamland of the blue sea,
the golden lotus has bloomed again.
The waters of the Blue Sea vibrate with joy.
Under the spell of heartfelt joy,
it smiles its sweetest smile.

In the moonlight full of the fragrance of the lotus,
the breeze floats along to an unknown destination

to search out and convey the news to hearts lost in that aroma.
The fairy, in her mysterious, sportive way,

approaches in spiralling movements
to pluck the lotus.

The Young prince sits on the magic horse.
The fairy finally descends on the lotus.
and clutching the flower,
she flies away.

The prince chases the fairy.
The fairy, almost overpowered,
now trembles in fear
and frantically flaps her wings
to apologise repeatedly for her mistake.

The prince states firmly
that such an act is unacceptable.
The prince points out
that God cannot be worshiped with a stolen flower.

Do honest deeds,
follow the honest path, he commends.

______________________________

In the pleasing waters
of the blue sea of dreams
a golden lotus blooms.

The ocean currents joyously vibrate
and the lotus,
in a trance of delight
smiles its sweetest smile.

In the full moon light
her fragrance floats
wistfully
far and wide
to conveys the news of her blossoming
to aroma intoxicated hearts.

The fairy
in her mysterious play
descends to pluck the bloom.

The Young prince
upon his magic steed
vigilant
in hiding awaits.

When the fairy escapes
with the golden flower
clutched tightly to her breast
he gives victorious chase.

She shivers her wings
and trembles in fear
and begs forgiveness for her deed.

The prince admonishes
and makes it clear
that with a stolen bloom
one cannot worship God.

Do noble deeds
and follow an honest path
he commends.

The earth today is exuberant with delight,
with rhythmic dance and enchanting melody.
Melodies of bygone days intoxicate all.

Adorning your eyes with collyrium,
draping garlands around your neck,
fill your flower baskets with fragrant flowers.

Colour everyone with the hues of your heart
and perfume your surroundings
with the fragrance of marigolds.

Hearts overjoyed in the festival of lights,
embrace one and all.
Attaining the Supreme Entity,
the pollen of mind is ecstatic with joy.

Come, O Lord, in my mind.
Come with a stream of light.
Come, be seated in my inner heart.

In a golden flow of music You catch my hand
and take me beyond the ocean of darkness.

Transform my tears of sorrow
with the intoxicating joy of Your all-embracing love.
Come, smile in my heart a smile of blissful pearls.

Keep me very close to You.
Don't forget me even for a single moment.
Don't allow delusion to overtake me.

Keep me always
in the flow of colourful invigorating omniscience.

Come, smile Your blissful smile of pearls.
Keep me ever close to You.

Forget me not

Keep me ever

of Your vibrant omniscience.

In spring we play with colour, not with fire.
We extinguish the fires of mind.

In the stillness of night we move silently,
to exude aroma in the flower garden.

Imperceptibly, I remain inextricably associated
with floral nectar,
with each atom of light and shade.

I fill every heart with love every moment.
I pour forth streams of nectar in the moonlight
and in the smiles of children.
I never forget to do it.
I never deceive anybody.

but I don't reveal myself.

I fill all hearts with love
every moment.
I shower forth nectarial streams
in the moonlight
in children's smiles.
I cannot deny it.

A fairy entered the flower garden to sip floral nectar.
It flew in on the intoxicating breeze

while spreading its golden wings in the charming sky.
All the flowers peep out and say.

"Our nectar is not very tasty.
Some is bitter,
some sour,
some astringent,
some very repulsive to the tongue."

While selecting, the intelligent fairy
plucked only the sweet flowers
into its basket.

The fairy did not slight any flower.
It gave equal affection to one and all.
It went to the distant sky while touching lightly
even those flowers whose nectar it didn't take.

____________________________________

A fairy descends in a floral bower
to sip the nectar from its myriad flowers.
She glided in on an intoxicating breeze
with golden wings outspread in the charming sky.

All the blossoms appeared and openly cried,
"Our nectar may not all be sweet;
some is bitter, some sour, some astringent
and repulsive to the tongue."

The fairy chose only the sweetest blooms
and gathered/dropped them into her basket,
she did not, however, slight any bloom
and gave equal affection to all.

While departing towards the distant sky
she caressed even those blooms
whose nectar she had not taken.

A garland of love have I woven for You alone.

Today its flowers wither
its petals hang limp in sorrow.

I have drenched them
with tears of great love
and yet
there is no light in my life
no game of hide and seek
between the moon and clouds.

Day and night rotate
but pay me no heed.
And I cry and cry and cry.

Lord of seasons,
sway my mind.

Beam forth Your radiant smile
and entice the flower garden
into joyous dance.

I am exuberant with delight
amidst green leaves and crimson flowers.
Every fibre of my body thrills in ecstasy
with the advent of my dearest Lord.

My eyes are adorned with collyrium.
I see whatever is good in this universe.
My wild hair flies loose in the unruly southern breeze.
My heart is full of nectar,

and that nectar alone I pour forth from my being.

The Lord of my life has come today
at the end of my prolonged weeping.

You have hidden Yourself in my mind.
I cannot find You.

Unbeknown,
You are inseparably associated with all.
You are enthroned in every heart,
in the charming spring,
in the fragrance of flowers.
Your overflowing sweetness
drifts to the distant blue void.

In the sapphire Sindh river,
in the radiance of a vermillion mark,
in the whiteness of milk
and the sparkling white of the snow,
where do You not exist?

O Infinite Lord,
You never come within the reach of individuals
because once You come within our reach
You have made Yourself finite.

If we want to catch You we are to merge in You.
Then we finite entities become infinite.
You are one, yet You are in the minds of all
in various forms.
We sing Your glory.

I encountered You.
At life's dusk
I came to know You.

I had coloured You
with shades of my finiteness.
You appeared in my mind
countless times;
I feigned ignorance
and groped for You
foolishly
elsewhere.

My love woven garland
has withered,
and I, a pauper,
at life's twilight
offer You my feeble love,
dried in arid sands.

You have danced in my heart
enticingly
yet I listened not to her song.
My well rehearsed tunes
remain unsung.

Now I surrender unto You
laying mute offerings
at the altar of the indescribable.

I run in search of my Lord.

torment me

entangled in thorns,
and I search for eyes in the dark night
to mark with delusion's line.

The Lord of light appeared today.
Yes, He appeared
dispelling gloom's dark pall.

With two hands
he cast away that spell
and transformed it into light.

Where does He remain hidden
so far,
and from what unknown site
he conquers me?

I am immersed in him,
he has stolen my all.
With His love
His attraction
my heart insistently
runs to him.

He colours my being
with His hues and fragrance,
His melodious tune.

The lily of my mind
serenades the moon
on a balmy night.

I shall stay awake
forever
to pour out my heart to You.

I shall spin You tales of dreams
on the gentle breeze
in rapturous melodies.

I shall listen
with enamoured heart.

Dreamland's messenger
arrives
enticing her to come.

Her replies of love
drift to an unknown world,
secret no more,
scattered throughout the universe.

Dream waves break
incessantly
to merge in the Formless One.
In the enchanted heart
a sleeping bud blossoms forth.

How I yearned for You
shedding copious tears.
Couldn't You hear my pleas?

You want to make me weep
and willingly ignore me.

Ceaselessly, night and day
flow torrential tears
like the peak of summer rains.

And You smile
indifferently,
O hardhearted one.

I shall weave
from my mind
a garland of tears
and offer it to You.

Let me see
whether You
will wear it
or not.

I shall inundate the arid desert
with a rain of sweet love.
I shall bedeck the trees in floral array.
I shall bring life to the withered heart.

I inspire all to attain the infinite.
I fill the depths of their hearts
silently, inconspicuously

I uplift the dejected,

I steal their sorrows and pains.
I exist in the minds of all.

Let people know the Supreme Truth

How many days
how many sleepless nights
have passed
in expectation of Your advent?

The fragrance of countless unnamed blossoms
has faded
into dew drenched oblivion;
in the evening's mystic radiance
they withered/fall
in utter neglect.

You ignore my love,
You destroy my dreams,
with what mad obsession?

O, heartless one,
You ensnare me still
with magic floral bonds.

I try to forget You,
but I can't,
and I am destined
to pace lonely nights ka'na pati,
to give an ear to,
I am ever attentive
in expectation of Your gentle step.

has descended
smeared with heavenly pollen
churning the ocean of effulgence
pouring ambrosial nectar onto earth.

Sleeping creatures awaken
when the darkened sky
breaks into brilliant crimson light.
The three worlds dance
in blissful rhythm and delight.

From their wretchedness
the living
have regained consciousness
and speechless humanity
proclaims her eloquence.

The heart
intoxicated with joy
sings out in myriad melodies
in sweet ideational waves.

The lost Supreme Treasure
has returned to my eyes.

The heart
which had drifted apart,
despondent in its separation,
has slowly and silently
regained its original composure.

Those who taste samadhi
in the shady bokul grove,
their hearts overflood
with the sweet recollection of His love.

Let us too move
towards that absorbing realm
transported by cosmic memories.

Let us move silently
with gentle steps
lest we disturb
with worldly movements
their deep spiritual slumber.

The game of hide and seek,
You know, Lord, how to play.

You know how to make people dance
with Your capricious ways.

You know how to flood effulgence
into the deep dark night.

You know how to bring darkness
even in the shining day.

You know how to make eloquent
a voice that cannot talk.

You know how to share laughter's joy
and strum the lyre of life.

With Your grace
the world is colourful;
Your inscrutable game
engages all
in maya's hypnotic spell.

And You alone, Lord, know well how
to tear asunder illusion's veil
and grant emancipation.

the beauty of the world grows dim.

Once there lived a fairy tale king
who knew not how to smile.

He walked on his hands
ate puffed rice with his toes
and openly snacked
on delicious cakes
with his back to the midnight sun.

He chewed cane with his tongue
sucked its juice with his teeth
and cast his net
in the tennis court
to capture succulent fish.

In the light of midday
underwater He would hide
in fear of ghastly ghosts,
and racing speed boats
to distant skies He would fly
for a breath of pleasant air.

While others worked hard
he would close his eyes
and very contentedly snore.

rippling ceaselessly

O Supreme Shelter
of the shelterless,
O Lord of hallowed abodes
accept my salutations
out of infinite grace,
heed my earnest prayer
and keep me ever at Your feet.

Flowers exude their fragrance
at Your behest
and produce nectar sweet.

With Your sublime touch
my heart attains
the bliss divine.

For You
the universal melody
floats in the vast etherial void.

Inspire
that celestial tune
to whisper in my mind
as I contemplate You
in dhyana*.
*meditation

That melody comes near
in my dhyana.

What message do You convey to me,
sometimes in my conscious mind,
sometimes in my unconscious mind?
I do not understand.

My mind floats in speechless shyness.
Countless blossoming flowers colour Your garden,
innumerable pearls radiate in Your mind.

At times I understand;
at times I cannot comprehend
Your inscrutable divine games
and in my confusion
tears fall like torrential rain,
sometimes in my conscious mind,
sometimes in my unconscious mind.

Only You realise what is in Your mind,
You, who have captured my heart.
How shall I survive now that my heart is lost?

Through melodious strains

I long to attain You,

I decorate my heart
and wish that You be seated there
in gracious majesty.

I set candles and incense to burn

upon my sacred madhavi bowers.

Spring, You have come today in my life
awakening the earth with a new vibration
stirring the depths of my being
my inside and outside
and the black bee of my mind
with fragrant flowers and incense.

You have stained my eyes with black collyrium
and have brought radiance
to the mango, bokul, shimul and other blossoms
lining both banks of my heart.

You have coloured mind's black bee
which hums secretly
and moves silently in gentle trepidation.

At the dawn of my life
appeared my Lord
traversing the sky ways
on a chariot of the golden sun.

All was silent.
There was none
with whom to speak
with whom to engage in heartfelt exchange
upon this dusty earth.

In the crimson dawn
with love of life
exuding profusely
from the fragrant pollen of the heart
He came
at the first awakening
of my life.

With Your advent
in the eastern sky
earth's cimmerian darkness was dispelled.

In Your radiant light
sweet loti and lilies bloomed;
the raucous laughter of the dark
was removed.

Desert thirst was quenched
and verdant beauty overflowed.

Atoms and molecules
vibrated
in Your soft bosom of light
and history began to unfold.

In the blue void
a universe
expressed and unexpressed
exploded.

All creatures chant the mantra
of One,
the Supreme,
and clinging to His feet
they gyrate
in rhythmic dance
towards their Source.

Light streams in a hundred directions

Waters of gleaming light
cascade towards the sea

dance free from bondage.

Mind's peacock prances

and my longing heart
extends to You
an ovation royal.

No dark will ever touch
this, Your personal abode,
no shyness can destroy
its splendid floral bowers,
and the flame of the lamp
burns silently
for You alone.

My mind's sweet love
prances lithely
enticingly plays
in beautiful dreams
like timid forest deer.

My inner heart soars
to limitless domains
and my tears fall ceaselessly
to bathe Your lotus feet.

Those days of mine are forever gone
when You stayed by my side.

A garland of love
I offered
at the altar of love
with mogra and magnolia
in exuberant bloom,

but You chose to leave
to a distant land
and their petals
wither now.

The light of dawn still scintillates
in my love filled mind.
Yet each day
from her neglected blooms
parched pollen
sorrowfully falls.

The Lord has come.
Melodies from afar
resonate the news
of His effulgence on this earth.

In floral fragrances
he comes,
His smile the radiance of pearls,
dancing like light on river waves
smiling in the mirror of my life
in the arbour (garden) of my heart.

He inundates
in a million, countless
frequent flashes of light
far flung nebulae and stars
with ambrosial love.

The earth
longing constantly for Your grace
dances in Your heart.

Flowers burst into bloom
at the faint touch
of Your dawn light.

Silently
gracefully
the joy filled particles of my mind
move towards You.

You saturate with sweet consciousness
my colourful moments
and my lonely life
in anticipation of Your blissful touch
Your melodious rhythms
breaks into exuberant joy.

My attainments merge in Your cadence.

If I do not call,
You will not come of Your own accord.

While moving along Your path
can't You You stop a moment and stay?

My mind dances around You,
merging its colours in Yours.

You who have marked Your eyes
with dark collyrium,
don't You see the world around.

Inspired with the gentle touch
of the spring breeze,
in hypnotic spell,
my life rushes towards You.

Can't You understand
the longing of my heart?

In the hypnotic spell
of the gentle spring breeze
my mind moves towards You.

You of dark collyrium eyes,
don't You know
the longing of my heart.

You entangle me in what play of Yours?
Every moment, Lord,
night and day
I try to forget You,
but I can't,
and I return again and again
on various pretexts
to garland You.

Inextricably linked
as a body and its shadow,
as minute particles in fusion with nucleic peers,
You have entwined Yourself in my heart
filling it with honey's sweet delight.

Wherever I look
I see You and You alone.
What is this game You play?
The longings of my life
spread far and wide,
throughout the skies,
their fragrance unchecked.

In the distant void
they float along
crying.
What do You want of my tears?

You came with love
colouring the distant skies.
You smiled
filling the firmament of my mind
with effulgent light.

You distinguished not
between others' and Your own.
You obliterated limitations.

You poured forth the nectar of life
quenching my parched throat.

In the midst of deep, silent darkness
You came
in the sway of effulgence
and exquisite beauty
and, with Your own hands,
smeared my eyes
with the collyrium of bhava.

Pray tell me
for whom do You wait
on this lonely shore.

I row my boat of forms
on the ocean of formlessness,
forgetting none.
Moving on is my eternal wont.

No one can fathom
this rowing of boats
on the stream of time
from beginninglessness to endlessness;
neither philosophy nor science
can trace
its starting or culminating point.
I never pause.

After a day's hard labour
comes fatigue.
All return to their respective abodes.

The tired traveler comes to the bank
in expectation of a boat.
I am ever ready with the boat.
I never delay;
I'm never late.

On the hills,
in the glades,
a festival of flowers.

My time passes in ecstatic joyous dance.
My mind refuses to return home.

I wonder
who is this magician who has appeared.

I have tied my hair bun with woodapple
and swing earrings of fresh kalkey blooms.

With Him alone I'll go home today.
Without Him I'll not return.

My mind alone
knows what inner afflictions
lie secret, covered (coveted?) within.

Only in seclusion shall I sing them out,
if at all I wish them exposed.

In a crowd, whatever I sing
is not of my innermost heart.

In seclusion
only we two
listen to what is expressed.

The language of the heart is conveyed
to a heart alone,
it is not audible from without.
You exist and I exist;
there is no one else in this world.

with thunderous roar
inundating the world in torrential flows.

Mountain high piles of dirt and dross

Whither are those
who blackened the light of this earth,
who created walls of separation amongst human beings,
who battered tender hearts.

They polluted the fresh breeze with sin,
but now they have vanished.

then, suddenly, darkness descends;

The inertness of a hundred eons

Those of You who are far
come nearer to Him;
remove the bondage of distance.

Come nearer still;
come, in a mirthful current of joy.

I can't stay indoors at such a time as this.

My mind dances excitedly to go to yonder forest.
Please come with me,
I can't go there alone.

Who is that magician who calls me from the forest?
My mind is restless to depart.

Please, dear sister in law,
have mercy on me.
Dancing let us go,
You just catch my hand.

Bring for me yellow marigold flowers
and golden champaka, please,
or I shall cry and cry
day and night;
my hair bun I'll neglect to tie.

My friends have all gone to market,
dancing through the open fields.
Neither You allowed me to go
nor did You bring flowers for me.

Hear me,
I will never light the stoves again
nor decorate my ears with rings.

I'm sure the god of truth
will dispense justice for this.
You simply give me pain and pain;
You couldn't bring a single flower for me.

Lord, this morning You came
in rhythmic steps
at the time of my visit to the forest.

As I was on my way
You came,
swooping down like a hawk,
catching hold of my hand.

The garland around my hair knot snapped,
my basket of kadamba flowers fell down.

Why do You come
without notice, uninformed?
Why, to show me the path which I already know?

With the magic of Your melody
my mind is intoxicated;
with the rhythmic cadence of Your dance
my mind is overjoyed.

Why do You lavish Your love on me?
I don't call You,
but You come
to flood me with joy.

What is this?
I see palmira fruits on sal trees
and incense resin on the trees of pal.

Has the Lord alighted on earth
from his original heavenly abode?
Whose penance has brought it about?

The Lord has assumed such a beauteous form.
I am speechless and simply stare at him.
I look and look on.

I can no longer bear my afflictions
yet I cannot bring him within my life.
I fear none;
I feel shy of no one.
I simply love him because He loves me.

My life dances in rhythmic ecstasy.
My mono stringed chord plays a rapturous melody.
I will not return home.
I will move on to the forest.
I will stay with him alone.

Stars smile in the gold spangled sky.
With the stars I stay awake all night.
Gusty winds swish around
dashing me, at times, against the palash trees.

I like to fly alone
but alas I cannot.

Others have deserted me.
I look up to the sky,
to the shining stars.
I feel new light in life.

Drums beat all around.
People are dressed in gay apparel.
I want to laugh at Your showy dress.
Why do You forget all things?

Neither You allow me to go near You
nor do You allow me to go far.
Tell me, then, where I can go?

O Lord You are my only shelter now,
You in the eastern morning sky.

Let us all move together, live together.
We do not fear anyone.

We dine together.
We join in common laughter.
We are all firm in ideological commitment.

When brothers fall apart, strength is undermined.
When sisters also fall apart, families lose happiness.
We will all live together,

buoyant with happiness.

In the depth of my mind

not far from me.

Whichever way I look,
in all my actions great undertakings,
I see You there.

Whichever way I look
under the impulse of my overflowing vitality,
I see Your form, and no other form.

Come in my heart,

Come in ever new forms

You liberate many with Your unconditional grace.
You enter the minds of all and see them.
You never stop before any obstacle.

You steer the boat even through surging seas.
You open the eyes of all

behind which You stand apart.

You bring the darkness of night,
and the festival of stars.

You delight our hearts
with the moon effusive smile
and give the gruelling heat of a summer's midday.

You bring excruciating pain
and the refreshing fragrance of bela and juin.

You offer a multi floral garland of glorious hues
and a garden full of thorns
where it's difficult to walk,
then You bring roses in the morn.

How do You play so many sports alone?

all vanished in a flash.

By Your grace,
my attachments and infatuations are dispelled.
All my longings are now fulfilled.

My Lord came
in my house
to regale my heart.
Why didn't He remain seated there?

Morning and evening
on my way to the pond
I always look for Him.
He has made me His own.

In all my duties,
in the house,
on the farm,
I think of Him
and Him alone.

He has taken my everything.
Now I will sit
to meditate
to bring Him within my life,
whether He graces me to stay or no.

Now I will tell Him
my tales of woe,
whether He bothers to listen or not.

in my empty and desolate heart.

What was beyond imagination
has now taken form.

Your nectarial greatness stretches limitlessly.
You bestow unconditional grace.
You break open the doors of dark prisons.
You pour forth Your radiance and
quench the thirst of all.

In an arid desert
You bring cool refreshing shade.

My friend,
I keep the house decorated for You.
You, who make me oblivious
of who is near and who is far.

Lilies smile
in the radiance of the moon.
Tears which drenched my heart
float in the mirror of my mind.

You have taught me of ever effulgent love.
The gentle southern breeze floats off
to a far destination.

While wafting its fragrance
it distinguishes not
between the elated
and those who mourn.

My friend,
I have keep my house decorated for You.
You have made me realise
Your matchless glory.

There's not the least vestige of blemishes/dark spots.

everywhere
in the mountains,

in the deep dense forests.

There is no other place

of attainment and non attainment.

there also You have extended Your hand.

There is no scope
to hide everything,

Keep rushing towards the forest with jingle jangle.
Lets all move and run towards the forest.

In the forest there are countless kadamba flowers.
There are screwpine (keya')
and night jasmine (shiuli) flowers.
There are also the bakul flowers.

We'll tie our hair buns with garlands
and also wear garland bangles
then we'll keep dancing around
in the temple of the Lord.

With the rhythmic beats of our dance
and the sweet melody of our songs,
our Lord will not remain far away.

We all humans, birds, animals together
bathe His holy feet with our tears.

You cannot be seen in days of happiness,
yet give Your love during my nights of pain!

When stars twinkle in the firmament
and we are surrounded by plenty,
we cannot get a glimpse of You.
Only after we lose everything
do You offer consolation.

When the enchanting breeze of autumn
awakens delight,
we do not find You close.
You bring soothing coolness
only in the midst of intense heat.

At the end of the day,
silently entering an illuminated courtyard
in the realm of dreams,
You blessed all with Your touch.

Before the creation of light
only You existed.
There was neither good nor bad –
You remained alone in sublime awareness.

The same Lord of the past
is now present
and will remain for all time.

When all was yet unmanifested in cimmerian slumber,
You were the sole witness, piercing the bosom of darkness.
All salutations are offered to You alone.

Beyond speech and thought,
You continue traversing Your own path.

O beloved of my mind,
where have You gone?
I keep searching
yet cannot find You.

You pained me by going far away.
This I can never forget.

I searched for You
in the flow of rivers
and upon hills and slopes.
I wore myself out by wandering
through shady pala'sh groves.

I kept calling You to come,
to come back home.
I almost died with grief.

Perhaps I was unfortunate –
did I not long for You enough?
I had no other wish
but to gaze at You.

On this mountain top, in a festival of colours,
our minds are dancing and swaying.

Let us all go together,
let us gather flowers to take home.

Swiftly crossing the narrow path to the cotton forest,
we run over barren fields

and cross pastures,
avoiding the ghat and going further afield.
With flowers in our hair,
we shall move towards that which we cherish.

There is no end to our journey –
movement is life.
With joyful minds
we go on dancing and singing.

If we do not find flowers,
our minds become restless
so wherever we go,
we carry flowers with us.

I have lost my way on this forest path,
yet, I still hope to see You.

I have forgotten how many days passed.
Day and night,
I retain only one aspiration.

In the forest of my mind
a relentless wind assails me.
Other than You,
no one else can I call my own.

All my ideation of You seeks one boon:
that You come close, still closer,
and dance in Your effulgent grace.

In an enchanting dream within my psychic arena,
You revealed Yourself like a priceless diamond necklace.
All desires and aversions

unknowingly become neutralised, unified in You.
Come close,
and take me from the realm of forms
to formlessness.

O Lord,
when I try to describe You,
words never ends.
However much is told,
even more is yet to be told.

Your mark is found in the galaxies of distant skies
and also in each minute pore.

Your messages
I fail to understand,
so with folded palms
I keep weeping silently.

In the deep dungeons of hell;
coiled in sweet plumes of incense,
in resonating viina strings,
amidst intoxicating moonlit nights –
innumerable feelings and agonies
remain unspoken for eternity.

Why do You not love those
who love You,
and who wish to attain You?

In dark nights and bright mornings,
why do You remain silent?

As flower petals drift along
in the dappled sky,
hundred-petalled lotuses wither away.

To benefit all, out of love for all,
why do You not allow Yourself to be attained?
Why do You keep distance?

Awaiting Your silent footsteps,
the buds of my hope
blossom in so many colours.

Let my long preparations be brought to fruition,
fulfil my longing.

Remaining silent
in a calm arena of effulgence,
what melody
do You play on Your viina?

I will never forget You.
Amidst enchanting experiences of love,
I shall not become oblivious of You.

As the night ends
in the colours of the morning,
when the flow of Your effulgence
fully expresses itself in beauteous hues,
I cannot close my eyes
to that bright radiance.

At the end of the day,
when a sweet lull approaches
and the hoof prints of cows
are lost in the half-light of dusk;
absorbed in Your sweetness,
I shall not harshly disturb that ambience.

and thread a garland of niipa flowers for You,

The time of laziness has gone;

The ocean of vitality has broken down all barriers.

I forget everything except You.

Please come onto my sweet hundred-petalled lotus.

By Your sweet, affectionate smile
You made me forget all my pain.

You made me forget

You spread the impulses of Your heart.

shall remain no longer.

You filled the vessel of life with nectar.

Who is there in the pala'sh grove?

At first sight, it seems

You have coloured the interior of my mind,
so why do You remain afar?

Today, in my flower garden,
a southern wind is blowing.
All my desires have floated away.

Now I move forward,
along a tide of joy,
dancing around You.

The entire world is filled with Your beauty.
You illuminated all hearts,
You poured nectar into all minds.

By thinking of You,
my eyes become filled with blissful tears.

Please come closer.

Why have You entwined
Your melodies around me?
Why, in Your rhythmic dance,
do You excite me with lightning flashes?

In the eastern sky
is a festival of colours.
Amidst it all,
Your enchanting song
brings memories of happiness.

Laden with the fragrance of flowers,
a sweet, gentle breeze glides
on a moonlit night.
Your loving smile anoints my dream with beauty.

After much effort I have gathered
and carried home flowers.
to decorate and garland You,

These flowers
shall I thread upon my garland:
frangipani and fallen bakul blossoms,
interspersed with kadamba flowers.

I danced into the forest,
having braided up my tresses,
my mind absorbed in Your thought.
For You alone did I arrange my flower-laden tray.

Laughing, I returned home from the forest;
as visions of Your loving gaze still danced before my eyes.
When there was no one on this earth,

You alone existed.
That is why, in meditation,
I adore You.

You came today, without announcement.

You came, singing,
absorbed in the fragrance of flowers,
dancing to small rhythmic beats.

After attaining You,
the hot, arid desert of my mind

Your magic force
banished the silence.

After awaiting Him day and night with a steady gaze,
He came today, opening up the door of my heart.

I bolted the doors of my mind
and slept until late,
even though the morning sun
was peeping through my window.
My mind was cluttered
with the relativities of place and time.
My awareness of people
was limited to the distinctions between them.

Never did I think of true human existence.
Due to self-centred sentiments
I had lost proper discrimination
and was intoxicated by dogma.

Forgetting the tranquility of pure thought,
concentration of mind eluded me.

When I saw You in the frangipani grove,
I found nectar hidden beneath delicate petals.

Why is He so lost in His own thoughts?
My eyes, filled with longing,
sought His gaze in vain.

I walked through dry fallen leaves,
Hoping the sound might
alert You that I had come.

My lamp of hope glowed,
full of sweetness.
I stepped forward slowly and shyly.

I hoped, like fragrance wafting up
from flower petals,
He would lift His gaze and look at me.

Amidst sweet rustling
in an enchanted illusion,
the peacock of my mind dances.

Like a shadow adrift on the wind,
my heart desperately seeks Him.

So many times I offered You my love,
yet You did not come into my embrace;
You did not sit upon the seat of my heart.

Today, as the sunshine
emerges from a cloud's embrace,
I silently call You in my heart.

I can no longer bear the torture
of seeking for You time and again.
Today, in a flow of compassion,
come close to me.

my eyes will not close in slumber.

Thinking about You,
my heart loses itself in a cloudburst.

If You had come secretly
with silent steps,
no one would have realised, in this stormy downpour.
O Lord, You know everyone's mind.
Please accept this one request of mine:
Let the river of tears I have wept
merge into Your ocean.

Bringing sweetness brimming with affection,
You came into the core of my mind.

Emanating divine fragrance
in the sweet-scented twilight,
You smiled at me.

By the gently wafting breeze of spring,
You caressed the earth.
By a gentle touch,
You intoxicated all in rhythm and dance.
You came to pour out nectar for everyone.

On Your charming face
was the desire for something sublime.
With enchanting smiles and a vibrant flute,
You loved all equally.

My love is for You alone.

In hope, I await You,
decorating my house with incense and lamps,
keeping awake the whole night.

Ages have passed in unfulfilled hopes –
many stars have set, witness to my disappointment,
yet I am still awake,
seeking the unattainable.
Will You not understand my pain?

Light smiles after a dark night;
the moon appears after dark rainclouds.
Can joy also return to a defeated heart?
This divine play of Yours
is so hard to fathom.

Piercing the bosom of a dark night,
light appears, destroying all inertness.
Flower buds bloom into smiles
and deep slumber is cast aside.
All traces of idleness are now removed
by the warmth of Your affectionate flow.

Those who are dying, regain life.
Inquisitive hearts attain fulfilment.
Those desirous of salvation,
attain it, O Lord,
by Your fortuitous grace.

When was that effulgent morning, long ago,
when I first met You?
I cannot recall the day
or the circumstances.

I was once arrogant, full of pride,
cultivating bookish knowledge
with my shallow intellect.

I finally sank to my knees
due to shame and fear,
yet could not understand
or come to know You.

Even after imbibing philosophy,
I did not attain You;
merely realising that materialistic science
had destroyed humanity.

At last, in the surrender of devotion
I found You close to me.

O eternal companion,
by Your radiant beauty,
the earth became bathed in light.

Sleeping hearts were awakened
as You bestowed the gift of consciousness
upon inert, inanimate beings.

Seated on the lotus altar of intuition,
You snatched away the three-fold pains.
With the very surging of Your blood,
You imparted vitality to the neglected and defamed.

When human beings forget the proper path
and indulge in destructive actions,
ignite Your devastating fire of retribution;
unleash Your cataclysmic earthquakes.

O limitless One,
You remain beyond our grasp.

Neither the smile of the moon,
the breeze wafting sandalwood fragrance,
a smiling flower,
nor the gentle sky,
are absolutely perfect.

O Infinite one,
You have no limitation.

Atoms and quarks dance
within the arena of Your cosmic mind
to the eternal melody of Your flute.
Your effulgence remains immeasurable.

Why do You remain silent
amidst the sounds of this morning?
Share with me Your feelings.

Why do You keep Yourself aloof from me?
I have offered my everything to You.

I have poured out the nectar of my life
into the dark blue sky of this moonlit night;
On the night of the dark moon
I become covered in shadow.

Beyond praise and eulogy,
I set my tune to Your melody.

You are the smile of my flowers
and the enchanting flute of delightful days.
You are a festival of light
uplifting sorrowful nights.
My everything is enwrapped by You.

flying through the vast blue sky,
my feathers inscribed with memories

On dreamy moonlit nights,
I fly into the dark blue of the sky.
In the undulating breeze,
flowers smile,
as I fill them with joy.

I never lose my path.
My Lord is ever
my companion, through storms and typhoons.

The magnificent arc of the sky
is graced with a flow of effulgent beauty -
in that stream I keep gliding onwards.

For my eyes, touched with this resplendence,
there is no sleep.
I keep heading towards my destination,
soaring through the sky.

The one in whose love I am ever-intoxicated,
accompanies me always.
I am never alone.

Who is making my mind restless?
Who is overwhelming my heart?

Neither have I seen nor recognised Him.
Who is that unknown divine friend?

He remains hidden, seated in the depths of my mind,
where He keeps all knowledge stored.
He maintains His disguise, covered with the pollen of life
and spreads upon Himself all its sweetness.

The One whom I have unknowingly loved,
has churned away all my nectar.
With the lamp of intuition,
He has removed darkness,
and shown me truth.

The dark flow of blind attachment
has lost itself in effulgent light.
The flow of intuition spreads forth.

All desires and attainments,
all giving and taking,
merged and became one.

You smiled in the morning light.

The buds of flowers bloomed with thrill.
My desert heart started dancing.

By the soft touch of Your sympathising mind,
You provided melody to songs.

You provided consciousness
to inert matter,
and life to sleeping beings.

With a sweet, enchanting,

You drew everyone close to You.

O fearful Lord,
by Your high rhythm,
the sea waters became violent.

On dry branches, buds appeared,
and a flood was brought about in the split river.

Lost hearts regained strength,
lost flowers refilled my tray.

By the rhythm and melody
of songs that once were lost,
my mental lotus reoscillated in heaven.

Everyone heard the new maxim.
The new world became decorated with shady hues.
A new mission of work was completed on land.

All the trees and creepers
are laden with fruits
and bow down at Your feet.

The flowers, fragrant with enchanting impulse,
are all covered with sweetness, expecting You.

The sandalwood forest spreads out fragrance
and the cuckoo sings on.

My beautiful peacock rings a jingling sound.
It spreads its tail
and keeps dancing, its lonely dance.

let them bloom on the earth's soft ground.

The fruits that never grew in the desert,
let them grow in beautifying greenness.

If ever You descend,
missing Your path,
then sit down for a moment
and rest in my home.

If ever You look at me by chance,
then kindly gaze at me.

Ages have passed,
lives have passed,
Your silence made me frenzy.

I still do not allow the flower of hope to wither
and continue waiting for You with folded hands.

Tides came into the ocean of beauty,
my garland became decorated with mental buds.

By Your touch,
the nectar in these buds turned fruitful.
O my most beloved!

By Your sweet smile,
flowers bloomed,
and honeybees gathered all over.

On Your bosom,
the earth is sustained.

With love and affection,
You awakened life,
and brought consciousness
into the world of forms.

With an affectionate and enchanting glance,
You generously gifted heavenly nectar.

You call everyone with the voice of clouds
and bring sweetness into the mirror of mind.

Amidst darkness,
by Your illusory play,
Your light falls through in luminous flashes.

O formless one,
You came into the sphere of mind
and, in the form of light rays,
passed through each of my pore.

You brought about plentiful affection,
and by Your overwhelming touch,
vibrated all with new beauty and love.

You also brought in
a soft, moist and pleasing breeze,
and a fragrant stream of melody.

By Your touch,
my mental peacock started dancing.

Who would ever forget that merciful guest
who came on that day
when soft dark clouds swayed through the sky?
You smiled, and on Your lips lay music.

Intoxicated by the sweet illusion of spring
my mind floats off into the distant blue sky.
Influenced by Your strong morning light,
it does not desire anything.

What is this affection that You have loved me with?

Who are You,
O anonymous one,
who came from far away heaven
with a call unheard of
and the melody of song,
to break the bondage
of both accepted and unaccepted dogma?

You removed dark fog
and sparked a festival of light.
You removed the distinction
between known and unknown
and filled all with beauty and the colour of rainbows.
Without distinguishing between good and bad

nor white and black,
You poured the light of love into all.

Breaking the demarcation
between what is known and what is unknown
You coloured and unified all.

You are the pole star in the distant sky.

Those people, who in life,
have lost the proper way,
are able to return unto it by Your grace.

The forest, the mountain,
the storm struck boat,
the timid bird flying in the vast sky,
they all, in all the environments,
by Your grace,
attain the correct path.

The mind, that, on a shoreless path,
becomes restless
due to grief and suffering,
finds proper direction.

Come closer with a sweet smile
and a soothing touch,
and remove quickly all my agonies.

You are the gem of my eyes.
I did not recognised You earlier.
You were within as well as around me,
but I did not look at You.

The gust of winds and storms broke down,
my everything floated away in heavy rains.
Yet, You did not go away leaving me alone,
but continued staying with me day and night.
I was not aware of that.

You applied balm
on the wounds of those neglected.
You brought back honour
to those who lost it.

You never hated anyone nor anything.
And thought You did not talk to me,
You never left.
I could not accept this.

O Lord,
I cannot forget
the oscillation You bestowed upon me
at the root of my life.

For You I have decorated
all my belongings' essence.

I was lying in a corner,
my life deaf and dumb,
when You secretly entered
the depth of my heart.

This arrival of Yours
is not without reason.

You bestow oscillations
into this world
at every moment.

In this world of light,
I was wrapped up
in a dark costume.

In all thoughts and actions
Your rhythm sounds.

I never heard of You nor saw You.
As my slumber crumbled,
I understood Your divine game.

I am unable to forget You.
The thought of forgetting You never arises.

You are my companion in nights of sorrow.
To Your affection, there is no match.

To a lost heart full of impatience,
You bestow the sweetness of Your heart.
You do not forget those
who under the spell of delusion
move along the wrong path.

You are the sweetness of the human mind,
and the beauty of a sinless heart.

If anyone happens to become intoxicated by pride,
You repeatedly direct that person
to move along the righteous path.

On a brightly illuminated full moon night,

along the tinkling strings of my viin'a'.

In the soft breeze,
of a sweet dream,
You wore a floral costume,
and wandered amidst the murmuring sound
of a forest path.

In the ocean of my mind,
waves began to sway,
and became coloured with Your colour.

From Your heart
the nectar of love poured out,
and flashing light
dyed in red,
removed all darkness.

By Your touch,
my reactive momenta,
accumulated throughout ages,
vanished away.

With a gemlike sparkle,
and a flowerlike smile,
You came into my sweet garden
on some long forgotten spring season.

For ages, renouncing everything,
I was waiting for You, counting time.

So many sandal breezes
have gone with the wind.
Much sandal fragrance
has been blown away.

Many a times
my morning star faded away.
Many a days
passed by unnoticed.

The sweetness of my mind has been lost.
My mental river has dried up.

In my mind,
my viin'a' cries out:
"O Lord, come again,
come naturally by Yourself."

You existed in the past,

When I saw You
on that autumn morning,
at that time, the shefa'li flowers
had shed.

The heavenly forest
was intoxicated with fragrance,
and my mind was full of bliss.

You came slowly with rhythmic steps,
charming all
with melody, rhythm and tune.

You poured love into restless minds.
The agitated world found You close.

You poured into the sky,
Your enchanting smile,
as after effect of which
the air became sweet.

That smile went afloat to different countries,

Today, filling the sky of my eyes,
You arrived with gentle steps.

On dry branches,
buds appeared,
and in the dry stream
a flood arose.
The desert became decorated
with many a colourful flower.

Dark clouds turned colourful,
and my peacock began to unfold its tail.
In all minds,
dry hearts became moist.

O Lord,
gradually open my eyes.

I love You so much,
and never forget You.
Why then, do You float me into tears?

I keep sitting by the open door
and maintain Your seat decorated
with incense, lamps and flowers.

Come into my home and sit down,
Stay in my house with grace,
at least for a short while.

I shall always remember You
and remain ever engrossed
in Your name and song.

By meditating on You
and hearing about You,
I shall forever survive.

In my sleep,
in my dreams
and while awake,
You are always with me.

Thinking about You,
my mind gets filled with bliss,
as I realise You close.

The flute of the distant heaven
plays its melody within my heart.
Pouring sweetness into life,
it intoxicates all.

My mind begs for Your mercy.
Even when I could not recognise You,
at that time also,
You resided in my heart.

When, in this new environment,
I think about those past days,
my mind starts dancing to new rhythm.

My eyes were filled with tears of love.
I did not want to leave nor forget You
but sorrowfully had to let You go.

In those tears my life was contained.
They held requests,
dignity and suppressed sorrow.

I did not understand
why You went away,
emptying the heaven of my heart.

My mental bud was full of honey
preserved for You only.

O Lord, controller of the universe,
what for did You go away?

Into the sky, so full of thought
and into the vicinity of that thoughtless entity,
I pour out the sweetness of my mind.

On the strings of my viin'a',
and in the songs of life,
I find only You.

O eternal companion,
guide me day and night
lead me unto Your effulgent expression.

In the beauty of the infinite,
that floats through finite pollen,
I merge into the unknown.

By continuously reflecting upon
and meditating on You,
I attain You in my heart.

With the hope
that I may touch the Cosmic Entity,
in my minute mental sky,
I arouse conscious
and regain strength.

From the world of forms,
I move to that of formlessness,
and, with heartfelt satisfaction,
cross all lines of limitations.

In the illusory flower garden,
the illusory bud
is intoxicated with illusory wine.

In the hot blow of an illusory desert,
sand particles take off.

The enchanting illusion
of the morning sun's crimson colour
dissolves into the evening hue.

Those who come, return singing,
engrossed in sweet delusion.

The controller of this illusory game
softly smiles,
as He intoxicates minds.

Enchanted by this illusion,
the musical octave begins to sing.
And even should its song end,
the lingering trace
of a sweet and illusive after effect,
absorbs all in love.

This ma'ya' (illusive divine play) is not false.
For, its controller remains ever dancing to its actions.

Applying a decorative blue mark onto your eyes,
you look into the blue sky.
Tell me, whom are you thinking of today?

On the altar of consciousness,
made of gem lotus,
with what hope do you raise a jingling sound?

Did you remember some past event?
Did some past song appear to you with sound?

Who is that great and superior one,
who made His abode in the sky of your heart?
The expressions of the internal sounds
of the solar plexus,
churned all your thoughts.

Breaking the bondage of limitations,
your mind floats into its mental sky.

Today during dawn,
me, a dust particle,
got lost in the ocean of light.

From the unknown
came the outburst of light
and floated me off
into the unknown.

Through ebb and flow
in the stream of light,
He intoxicated
and made me dance.

Forgetting myself,
I totally became merged
in His ocean.

A dust particle
was my small form,
yet, within that form,
I became formless.

The figurative expression and inspiration
of a single entity,
today,
converted many into one.

Decorate wholeheartedly the ever new one!
Decorate Him carefully with mental jewellery.

Ignoring the repentance of the past,
accept new rays.

Shake off from Your mental arena,
all torn rags and dogmas.

Colour the mind
with a new voice.
And with colourful words,
colour the whole world.

Do not try to bring back
lost days,
and do not get deluded
by the thought
that the past might return.

With vibrant sunlight,
like fresh tonic,
arouse all.

The forward movement,
announced long ago,
will never stop.

With new uproar
and the rhythm of waves,
fill my heart with new melody.

You provide hearty sweetness to everyone.

By Your touch
the earth becomes filled with charm.

Those who do not know You,
consider You to be harsh.
Those who do not understand You,
mistake You as unkind.

You control all,
You have no controller.
You remain beyond comparison
and higher than the highest.

By Your love and affection
sleeping consciousness arouses.

You control the three principles,
of the illusory ma'ya'.

You are the nucleus of the universe
Purus'ottama.
You are the remover of darkness.

For innumerable mornings and evenings,

Present within the mind,
You listen to all its secrets.
From You, nothing remains hidden.

You infinitely disseminate Yourself.
There is nothing beyond You.

You never forget
even small thoughts or dust particles.
Neither do You forget
distantly shining nebula and stars.
You do not maintain Yourself aloof from anything.

Forgotten springs
and newly bloomed flower petals,
lose themselves in the horizon's wondrous swings.

Where Your existence might not be felt,
I am unable to imagine.

that glowed around You.

When, during the serpentine noose of past history,
the light on earth
became destroyed by terror,
Supreme Consciousness (Parama Purus'a) arrived,

You came,
churning my heavenly garden.
You keep Yourself surrounded

You never ignore anyone,
Your aspirations are meant for everyone.
With a sweetness absorbed look,
You draw all into Your heart.

O Lord over death,
in what sort of Tand'ava dance,
with what overwhelmingly high rhythm,
do You remain engrossed?

With the mark of decoration
and love in both Your eyes,
Your third eye remains glowing.

Under Your pounding weight,
the earth and heaven tremble.
In fear of You
all accumulated sins vanish away.
The Lord of destruction is dancing.

You opened the tuft of Your hair
to spread ashes on the burning foreheads
of all those who were polluting Your air,
extinguishing Your light,
contaminating Your pure drinking water
and trying to turn the earth into hell.

Engrossed in new rhythm,
You created the universe!
What is this divine game of Yours?

With the fragrance of flowers,
You absorbed all in heavenly bliss.
O what type of illusion is this?

How did it happened?
Single handed, it is not possible.
Can creepers, leaves and petals
live alone in the flower garden?

From one to many and many to one,
that is how, He does so much.

By Your rhythm, at every moment,
the measure of time dances on.
All concepts of place and person
become discharged into that rhythm.

In a continuous dance,
it rushes on unto infinity
in search of nectar,
in search of that immeasurable
and sweetly anointed expression.

By Your dance and rhythm,
all atoms and molecules vibrate.
Even stars, the sun and the moon
oscillate due to it.

You pauselessly arouse
immeasurable and unlimited rhythm.

In the hope of attaining Your feet,
with folded hands,
all come close,
bowing down to knee height.

Effulgent rings surround You feet
and nebulas revolve in the milky way.

The blue sky becomes illuminated by Your light
and its eyes are adorned with decorative marks.

Dhutjati, the embodiment of melody,
with His long tuft of hair,
is vigorously dancing.

I have decorated my altar for You.
I have threaded my garland with sweet malati flowers
and lighted my lamp.

With a heart smeared with mental sandal
and filled with the honey of colourful flowers,
I await You.
I keep waiting with attentive ears
to listen to the sound of Your footsteps.

Oscillating in the restless wind,
my mind become agitated,
and runs out of control,
vibrating to Your ideation.

Kindly stay in my home, O Lord.

You never come nor go at anytime.
You have been in the past,
You are present now
and You will forever remain.

In Your mind,
the seven worlds
are contained
in the flow of Your divine game.

Those who existed crores of years ago,
are still present today,
lingering on in the infinitude of Your being.

Those who are to come in crores of years,
will likewise not remain unattended.

Maintaining all,
You keep smiling.
That is why,
I kiss Your feet.

Those situated crores of light years away,
are not lost either.

They exist in Your mind
dancing to Your tunes and rhythms.
You keep them bound
by the attraction of love.

That is why
I bow down before thy feet.

You fulfilled everyone's needs.

You thought of all

Pointing out the path on dark nights,

You sing a sweetly smeared song,
and fill all hearts with nectar.

You are the singular entity
in the festivity of light.
You reside in the morning breeze
and in the distant sky.

While walking unmindfully on Your path,
I encountered You in a new form.

The river water floods both banks
and rushes upstream in the intensity of love.

By Your love,
sweetness was filled into void hearts.

For the invocation of whom,
has the pious inscription been written down,
in the depth of mind,
with white sandal paste?

Flashes of light are being scattered
into the chamber of gems
of all minds.

In isolation, the instrument of the heart
is playing an unknown,
yet nectar filled melody.

awakening tides in the ocean of beauty?

Who has poured out nectar,
engendering a lively smile
in the depth of darkness?

Those who were lying uncared for in a corner,
today, merged into the dust of the earth.
In the intoxication of the new flow,
all artificial distinctions were erased.

The door of the path of light opened up.
An blow of extreme magnitude
struck the deadly slumber.

The bondage of name and form
of those who were living like the dead,
dissolved into formlessness.

You came into my mind in a sweet dream.
Into my new floral home
You came with soft footsteps,
and filled my eyes.

At that time,
the flowers were pouring nectar from their pollen,
while birds were singing their melodious songs.

Those who had been separated from their lover
rushed out and in dance moved towards You.

You came into my mind
with sandal breeze.
You came with a sweet memory,
and glittering directions.

With an enchanting colouration,
You bypassed and eliminated sleepiness.

You came into my garden
with the rhythm of jingling ankle bells,
resonating to the sound of the cuckoo.

with a sweet face and silent feet
come into my mental garden.

My home has blossomed.
With a smiling heart,
in melody and rhythm,
let me sing my song for You.

In the hope of Your arrival,
I have been surviving for ages.
Expecting You with a heart churned to its core,
I have kept my nectar pot filled.

With pleasing lips,
drink that from that decent vessel
like a bee does from its flower.

The hot sandstorm's sand
won't dry
the liveliness of Your intense flavour.

The thunder's roar in angry storms
won't burn
Your fresh greenness.

On a nimble date in a sleepless night,
I have kept the flame of my lamp burning
to remove my darkness.

I constantly remember and revere only You.
Why then, do You not come in my fold?

Harassed by constant blows,
I lost my entire auspicious faculty of thinking.

I now resemble a neglected and fallen leaf,
carrying in my heart,
hundreds of thoughts of You.

All those who come,
again disappear,
like bubbles in the ocean of time.

Yet, in the ocean of light's effulgence,
You remain ever present.

spreading out my seat for You.

In my house of thoughts, with love,
I have kept the wick of hope lighted.

With the five lamps of the five fundamental factors
and the fragrant niipa flower of this illusive world,
I sit near my altar,

with a sweetness filled mind
and gentle excitement.

On the path of highest fulfilment
the chariot of bright sun rays advances.
Along the stream of melody and tune,
my empty heart becomes filled to the brim.

You remain ever awakened

From the icy mountains, floods descend,
filling both heaven and earth,

In the beginning of my life's morning,
Your crimson effulgence conquered my mind.
Daylong and pauselessly,
the rhythm of my life has since
oscillated in Your swing.

Meditating on You and singing Your name,
I have been facing all obstacles,
and attained my cherished one.
Your expression and consciousness,

entered my mind,
oscillating the vessel of my life?

With heartfelt love, You generated melodies.
O Guest, what garland did You bring about?
The song of darkness became filled by Your melody,
the tune of pessimism got lost in the desert.

Today, wearing a colourful dress
in heart and mind, move forward.

Seriousness will not hold,
with tears only I express my salutation.
On a dark night, on a desert path,
the instrument of my heart

The sky and air were filled
with the silent heaven's pain.

With a flute in hand
You stood.

In an atmosphere
of sweet floral fragrance and dewdrops,
You lingered on with red coloured lips.

Vibrating the seven spheres,
You spoke a message of affection.
A song whose tune overflowed with impulse,
reverberated in a sweet breeze.

Your eyes were coated with nectar.
A heavenly sound rushed out
and fell in surrender unto Your feet.

All those whose voice was lost
gathered together
to express themselves through suggestion.

You were in the softness
that is covered with hardness.

I attained You on a dark lunar fortnight,
while merging with each star.

By submerging into minds,
I have loved and understood pain.

You were the star of the sky
but became the star of eyes
when intuition lost itself in You.

All lost hopes
reappeared a hundred times
in my heart.

Filled with Your ideation,
holding Your tune,
I remain intoxicated in Your sweet flow.

O companion from time immemorial,
come in a new form,
with the lamp of life
and the incense of love!

What did You give
to conquer each particle of my being,
pouring into it
the sweetness of heart?

O companion!
By applying the collyrium of ideation
on my eyes,
all wants and loneliness were removed.

I traveled alone,
crying in dark nights,
wandering to and fro
from path to path.

I could not imagine
that along with me
the untiring wheel
of Your cart was also moving.

With Your own hand
You applied collyrium
and poured love into my heart.

You showed the path
in unending darkness
and bestowed upon me
a touch of love.

O Beloved,
come into my heart,
come into each molecule of my body!
Absorb my mind
into the sweetness of unison!

How many nights have passed by
in crying, in waiting, in sitting on the balcony,
in looking onto the path You would arrive on!

The secret events of my mind in day and nighttime
were coloured with the love of the sun's red rays.

Throughout ages,
hundreds of times,
have I been requesting You
to continuously kindle the lamp of love
in my heart.

Without shaking in danger
nor forgetting You in happiness,
I continued swinging
in Your melody and rhythm.

I know You.
Yet, this fact I am unable to utter.

Although You are acquainted,
You are unknown.
You play the lyre to unknown melodies.

When the lotus blooms in the water of the pond,
when moonlight spreads on particles of dust,
and sleep becomes interrupted by awakening,
I do not forget that sweetness of Yours.

Although You remain hidden
You are in everything.
Your enchanting flute
resounds from secret places.

In uncountable costumes,
names, forms and rhythms
You are unique.

You are revered throughout the world!
You remain blissfully felicitated in all minds!

You resonate in the sky and in the air
and vibrate the great cosmic sound!

In Your infinite existence,
nothing ever gets lost nor ceases to exist.

Those who existed in past,
exist even now,
absorbed in the sama'dhi (trance)
of Your consciousness.

To the musical octave
the solitary flute
forever plays in Your mind.

That which has been existing from time immemorial,
still floats on in the stream of melody.
It moves on in rhythmic style
to the flow of bondage and freedom.

In the flow of the fountain of light,
You bathed everyone's mind.

With a stir from the heavenly arena,
You enlivened the three worlds.

By eliminating the distinction
between near and far,
between close and distant,
You made everyone Your own.

In a single thread,
You tied both good and bad,
both dark and white,
and indeed, all lives.

By the morning effulgence
and the colour of evenings
You engrossed everyone
in conscious love.

By making one cross
the limitations of place,
time and person,
You aroused the vibration
of murmuring melodies.

There is infinite sweetness within You

I have searched You,
on dark days,
during the dullness of dark nights,
with a heart filled with agony.

I wanted You in the spring season of my mind,
in a fragrant flower garden.
In a touch of sandal breeze,
in nicely resonating love songs.

I have searched You
in the rain of soft clouds
when the mental peacock dances and sings.

Sitting on the branch of niip tree,
it calls the unknown distant
from within the pollen of ketakii flowers.

I wanted You on a full moon night,
in shining beauty
and a dreamy environment.

was sent to me by Your grace.

Only You know,

have gone.

O star of my life from time immemorial!
O Lord! You are never lost.
Those who are present now,
will one day fade away
into the realm of infinity.

This temporal world
consists of coming and going.

Both the living and nonliving
are to move according to Your wish.

Open your eyes, and,

The trees and creepers
have dressed in colours.
Spiritedness fills their minds.

The dance of colours
produces vibrations in land and water

Distressed minds

Gardens are full of flowers
and a fragrant breeze is in the air.
The vibrant fountain
flows on with flashes of smiling light.

You are the cool shade amidst intense heat
I never knew this fact.

In stormy nights,
when fire threatens,
You accompany us.

During heavy rains,
floods and lightning,
You bestow blessings
with soft hands
and leave a mark on our heads.

On the path of movement,
I have no other means to adopt
except holding on to Your name.
You are the polestar
in intensely dark nights.

Taking Your name, I lose myself.
You are the soothing balm for all my wounds.
In honour, I salute You
both physically and mentally.

You are secretly hiding
in the corner of my mind.

You are greater than great.
You are moist with the honey of love,
detached from the whole world.

You have removed
all staticity and drowsiness.
O Entity beyond thought,
You have come
within the scope of imagination.

You have blossomed
in the lotus of my mind.
O Great One beyond all feelings!

In white snow,
in foggy mountains,
in the mental garland of gems,
within the jewellery casket,
You exist.

O pure essence of intuition,
stream of nectar,
embodiment of truth,
consciousness and bliss!

and through songs,

My inner voice was lying suppressed
with agonies piled up from ages back.
You removed that pile

You came in isolation.
The sweetness of affection
was lying dumb,
concealed in the cave of buds.

You removed that veil,

You came gradually.

I visualised You in a trace of melody.
My mind became intoxicated

I wanted You during storms

obtained You as gentle breeze.

I listened to the lovely flute,
to a collection of heavenly tunes

You came with sweet affection.

The lotus that never bloomed in my mind,
providing joy
with fragrance and colour
at any time
You made it bloom and filled it with honey.

O, unseen controller!
You came down without me calling You!

The tune, full of hope,
that never sounded,
the musical octave that never vibrated
You made them tinkle sweetly
on the strings of the viin'a'.

By forgiving my mistakes,
You filled the firmament of my heart.

I have remained awake for ages,
at all times,
with the sole hope of attaining You.

In the water pond of my heart,
You today bloom as a flower.

----------------------------

Come to me!
Come into my soul!
Come graciously with loving eyes
Come with all affection!

In which melodies of songs do You keep singing?
In which notes of songs do You bring about sweetness?
If You love me,

come near me,
slowly and with sweet steps.

I have remained devoid of sleep for countless hours,
for ages together,

with the sole hope
of attaining You in my mind.

Today, bloom as a flower in the water of my mind.

O lotus bud, tell me, for whom do you remain awake?
Why are you silent in this bustling world?
Who are you searching in a corner of your mind?

Numerous golden winter nights,
numerous mornings and evenings
have passed by.
The guest who loves has come.

You did not make yourself known to anybody.
You did not become self selective.

In your mind only one name floats.
You have kept the sweetness
of your mind for Him only.

You did not get lost during rainstorms,
nor did you lose your direction in the darkness.
You have been thinking about Him day and night.

Why is there dilemma down Your feet?
Why seems your sleep full of thorns?
Why is there intoxication in your mind
and why are your eyes filled with tears?

The one whom you love,
has He forgotten you?
Is it because of this,
that flood came rushing down
in overwhelming inundation of all hearts?

A powerful one is shedding tears
like a snake having lost its gem.

You know it happens this way,
it is not love.

You have to become selfless
for the work
of One whom you love.

You are the satisfaction of the dissatisfied.
You are the light of the dusty earth.
You are the effulgence in dense darkness.

You love without cause.
You belong to those who have none.
You are the shelter of those who have no home.
You carry the load and pour love unto
those remaining neglected and dishonoured.

For uncountable ages,
hundreds of times,
I have uninterruptedly loved You.

I know that of my life,
You are the essence.
You kindle the light of consciousness.

You personally looked at me.

When I deviated from Your path,
You brought me back on the track.

The planet,
although far from its nucleus star,
can it ever be dispelled away?
The star constantly pulls it towards itself.
Likewise, You too attract me unto You.

The wave of the ocean moves far away,
but, can it ever leave it?
The ocean calls it always.
In the same way, You too call me again and again.

my days pass by,
and yet, alas, You do not come!

On shores and paths,

My once full river, dries up.

Where are You?

From unknown arenas,
on an unknown boat
when will You come rowing?

For that arrival
I am waiting
with a fainting heart.

How many stars set down?

How many days became filled with pain?
How many songs lost?

With the hope that whatever You do
is done for our good
I remain awake.

In remembering my faults,
I beg Your pardon.
Shower Your grace upon me!

O remover of agonies!
I love You!

Destroy the darkness
and keep me ever awake!

Manifest Yourself in my mental arena
and reside in the lotus of my heart.

O Lord,
come to my home.
I am waiting seated,
with a kindled lamp.

In the dense night,
on a dark path,
why do You remain alone,
although I have kindled my light?

Always looking upwards,
I think about You.
I hear about You in the songs of stars
that are spread out throughout the sky.

You are mine and I am Yours,
this essence I have come to understand.

In the corner of my mind
I have spread a seat for You.
I prepared it with incense,
lamps,
bright marks
and flowers,
that were collected in my mental garden.

----------------------------

O Lord,
please come into my house.
I have kept waiting for You with a kindled light.
Why do You keep Yourself away,
wandering on a dark road at the dead of night?
I have already lit my light.

I keep looking up into the sky
and while looking,
I think of You.

I obtain messages about You
from the twinkling of the stars,
spread throughout the sky.

I came to realise the essence of life:
You are mine and I am Yours.

I prepared Your seat in the core of my heart
and decorated it with incense and candles.
With bright eyelids
I have plucked flowers in the forest of my mind.

To innumerable lives

You cause the decay,

Listen to me, do not give any more pain!
Do not You know

How harsh are You!
You are without feelings!
Making me cry,
You smile in great joy.

If You would have had a heart like mine,
You could have understood,
how much agony living beings suffer.

With a request
to bestow Your grace upon me,
please accept my hundreds of salutations
directed all unto Your feet!

In my eyelids only, You remain.
My heart has been filled with love and hope.

You snatched away my every expression,
as I poured out my life unto You.
For a sweet illumination
I squeezed my heart.

Into my ears
enter from air and sky,
the numerous events
that You tell about.

Amidst all expressions and consciousnesses,
in each particle of dust,
in the great sky,
in pitch darkness,
in the smiling moonlight,
and even in the vacant heart,
You only exist.

----------------------------

Your heavenly sweetness only remains with me,
in happiness and in sorrow it permeates the lids of my eyes.
You have snatched away my entire language,

my heartfelt hopes, my love and affection.

After wringing out my heart,
with a sweet expression,
I offer my everything to You.

I keep opening my ears to the wind and sky,
I hear You speaking many things.

You are manifested in all expressions,
in every consciousness,
in divine pollen
and in the vast sky.

You are in the midst of deepest darkness,
and yet, You also reside in a free heart,
on a smiling moonlit night.

I did not see Him in philosophy,
I could not understand Him

nor did I find Him in theological gospels.

I attained Him by love
and kept Him in the midst of my heart,
when all eyes eagerly looked upon Him.

By a loving sound
so full of rhythm and song,
the earth became filled
with fragrance and contemplation.

By a dreamy voice
full of affection and sweetness,
all entities understood Him
in actual experience.

I send out my call
to invite all
onto a journey,
traversing a path of effulgence!

The earth,
swinging in the great universal swing,
has beautified itself.
Today, no discrimination persists.

Come all, forgetting rivalry!
Let us jointly announce
that we are one
and that we will remain one.

All hearts are threaded
in the same garland of gems.
Let us all sing our song
in the same tune!

There is neither
high nor low,
black nor white,
for, in this world,
we are all brothers.

The pain and earnestness of one,
is pain and earnestness to all.

Within the ocean of nectar,
all hearts oscillate
in the same swing
and sing a single song.

Remaining filled with love,
arousing hope in others,
speaking in the same tone,
let us look ahead!

Extending love
to both friend and foe,
singing the song of pardoning,
let us move forward!

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

"On this path of our journey to light all are
welcome.
I send out this clarion call.
Let us forget our personal rivalries and declare
in one voice:
We are all one and we shall remain one. There is
no distinction of high and low, black and white.
We are all tied in bonds of universal brotherhood."

You know the importance

You do not want anything,
You do not get anything,
You extend love only.

The world,
so full of Your forms,
smiles continuously.

How much are You to play the flute,
to remove all agony
and provide happiness to all?

You do not get anything,
and yet, in giving Your everything,
You ignite the flame of life.

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

You are the light of my dark house.
You are the light of my dark heart.
In the oil devoid lamp of my heart
You glitter by Your own nature.

The vast blue sky is full of stars.
Galaxies beacon with sandals fragrance
and more and more light is reflected amongst them.
It is indeed all Your own effulgence.

Countless lamps are included in one,
By removing deepest darkness
You awaken new hopes in everyone's heart.
Indeed, You are the light of love.

You are the protective shade

You are the light

In the roughness of the desert
as well as in green shade,
You pour out Your wholehearted love.

Take away my everything,
and leave nothing but the touch of life.

Amidst roars of thunder,

You resemble the ketakii flower
that emits fragrance in rain.

In this soft fragrance,
that blows in the cool breeze,
lies assurance to me.

You are the shelter
and pabulum of my mind.
You are my most respected One!

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

You are my only one.
You are my nearest and dearest.
You are the sweetness of my deserted heart.
Please make me Your own.

You are the umbrella's shadow in the sunshine
You are the light in the dark night.
You keep pouring Your unconditional love
into the harshness of the desert
and the illusive green land.

Please take everything from me
and leave over nothing.
All I want is Your sweet touch.

With a thunderous sound
You kindle light in thunders.
In the rainy season
You become as mild as a ketakii flower.

You flow a tender fragrance
into the sweet and calm wind,
you fill the mind with assurance and inspiration.
You are the anchor of my ship,
my only mental food,
You are ever affectionate toward me.

You are vibrant restlessness,
and yet,
You are stunned silence.
You reside in total opposites.

Into my mental mirror,
You constantly pour effulgence.

You encourage those
who have been left behind
to move forward.

Awakening sleeping minds,
You bring about a resonating reality.

Those having been awakened by Your light,
ask You for blessings.
They know of both
Your restlessness
and absolute calmness.

These two states
merely connote different names
for the same entity,
from which the intellect
has but to accept defeat.

You are the vibrant activity,

You are opposites in their totality..

You encourage those who have lagged behind,

to move forward.

By awakening sleeping minds,
You bring about a resonant reality.
Those who have been awakened by Your light,
ask for Your blessing.

They know about both Your pauseless activity
and Your subtle calmness.
These are merely two different names for the same entity,
from whom the intellect has to accept defeat.

I never thought of You in my life,
but You thought of me always.

Within my small heart,
in the hidden depths,
You have taken Your abode.

You removed the dark clouds
of ego and vanity
that became concentrated in my mind.
By hundreds of actions of grace,
You pulled me ever closer unto You.

O heavenly light!
Resort of the helpless!
Consciousness of my heart!
Accept my salutations!

You provided expression and containment to me
and, by arousing my consciousness,
gave me intuition.

With sweet love,

Look just how many thorns
I have stamped upon!

So many storms

So much meteorite heat
did I have to tolerate!
So many disappointments!
So much pain!

By the load of agonies
I became bent.

Time flows away,
the sun continues its setting,
the dark shade of the evening intensifies.

When golden dreams
dissolved into vacuity,
I threaded a garland
with fallen flowers.

O eternal companion!
Do not go!
Sit on the lotus of my heart!
Do not leave me alone!

With attentive eyes,
Smilingly talk to me.

During autumn evenings,
when the wind sings along,
indifferent to the game of colourful clouds,
I search You within beauty and melody,
in the light of my heart,
in a perfectly enchanting rhythm.

During spring,
when flowers bloom
and intoxicated bees sing along,
I search You in rhythm and melody,
with the earnestness of love
that lies in the blue sky.

-----------------------------

Please don't go!
Come to me and sit on the lotus of my heart.
Don't leave me alone,
smilingly speak to me,
and open Your eyes.

When the carefree mind goes on singing
under the colourful sky of the autumn evening,
I try to find You in its forms and sounds.
I sing with attractive rhythm,
from the deepest core of my heart.

When the bees in spring
become agitated in the fair of flowers
and buzz on,
I search You in their notes and rhythms
I search You under the blue sky,
with all epithets of love.

You have come today,
To think about suffering people,
to destroy the darkness in all minds,
and to love all living beings.

The earth was eagerly waiting for Your advent,
marks of injury filled her body.
Under the painful load of afflictions,
all happiness was lost.

On the bosom of the earth,
kindle more light.
Into distressed hearts,
pour more nectar.

Send out Your clarion call to all
to move forward with heads held high.

------------------------------------

You have come today to think
of afflicted people,
to destroy the evil of all minds,
to love all creatures.

The universe was waiting for Your advent,
everywhere there were signs of distress,
all happiness had been completely lost
under the heavy weight of affliction

Radiate more and more light into this world.
Pour more and more nectar into all hearts.
Send out Your clarion call to all,
to move ahead with heads held high.

With expectations,
day and night,
I am sitting and waiting for You.

My heart is ever full of impulse,
yet, my lamp is about to become extinguished.

Tell me who else other than You
knows how to love?

You are the illumination of the earth
You make the core of my heart sing.

If You won't come,
O Dear One,
then rest assured
that I will be disappointed and disheartened,
which won't add to Your glory.

And yet, I know,
by praise or condemnation
You are not affected.

-------------------------------------

With hope, day and night,
I wait,
looking onto Your path.
In the fading lamplight,
I wait day by day with a full heart.

Who is able to love me, except You?
You are the light of the world.
This is why I sing for You a song from my heart.

If You don't come, O dearest Lord,
this is what You should know:

Your good reputation will not sooth
my broken hopes,
my broken heart.
Though, perhaps You don't care about praise or blame!

Do not go! Do not go!
I still need to talk to You about various matters.
I wish to sing more songs to You.
So many things are left pending.

An isolated flash of lightning
is calling me from the northeastern sky.
The roar of thunder continues to frighten me.

Remain close to me, stay in my mind.
Do not leave me alone.

On this stormy night
I lost everything that belonged to me .
My perplexed heart does not know
how to move forward on Your path.

Remain in my mind and fill my heart.
Do not crush the petals of my flower.

but I returned back ashamed.

I realised that all my necessities and preparations
are within Your imagination.

Much more than what I know about myself,
do You know about me.
And much more do You bestow
than whatever I think is required by me.

O my eternal companion,
You have absorbed me
in the colour of affection.

That garland of love,
with beauty and attachment,
will ever remain for You.

I returned back ashamed
yet in affection,
entered the world of thought.

By taking Your name

Effulgence flows out,
illuminating all hearts.
The song of Your love and union

So many eras have passed by crying!
No more sleep is there in my eyes.

O touchstone of mine!
Why do You smile with joy from afar?
Come into my mind,
understand my pain,
do not remain unkind any longer.

In this painful memory
my heart breaks with intense suffering.

Sit near me and smile lovingly,
do not leave feelings of pain anymore.

and a sweet and gentle breeze is blowing.

My heart searches
that unknown divinity
that snatched away my mind.

In moonlight,
in oblivion of all fear and shyness,
removing all meanness,
my heart has set out in search of Him.

The green coverings of soft grass
continuously call
that unknown stealer of hearts.

Within mountains and oceans,
within the depths of mind,
a tinkling is aroused
by the touch of consciousness,
vibrating the string (of life).

To all lives, You are the rhythmic song
in encounters of love.
Amidst deserts, You are the spring water
and the cool shade of trees.
You are the soft touch during storms,
You provide strength to broken hearts.

You are the collection of sweet love
that gets lost in the southern wind.
In moonlight, You are the smile of stars,
You are the heap of soft and fragrant flowers.

By entering into drowsy minds,
You bestow inspiration in bad times.

You came uninvited,
irrespective of my good and bad qualities.

By Your light, the earth became sweetly illuminated.
By Your touch, life found expression.

By Your joy, the world awakened.
All hearts started dancing as one.

Once drowsy eyes, are now absorbed in nectar.
In them, Your considered call
reflects a world that You have chosen.

Do not go.
Listen to me,
understand my pain,
do not remain indifferent.

To decorate You,
flowers bloom in my mind.
Do not crush them.

Have You forgotten
that You were with me day and night?

Looking into my eyes,
You had contemplated my mind
and loved me.

Do not forget him,
who was with You
in rhythms, songs and actions.

I have not forgotten
that You are the illumination of daytime
as well as the darkness of the night.

I loved You,
continue pouring Your nectar
onto me day and night.

Even if You ever forgot me,
O entity beyond time,
do not push me away with Your feet.

O innocent, Ka'nu (Krs'n'a'),
under what influence of delusion,
did You go to Mathura?

You left all Your playmates
at Gokul and Vrinda'vana.

The milkmaids do not churn curd anymore,
but continuously cry instead.
They say that since the stealer of butter went away
they do not desire to prepare it anymore.

Ka'nu went away ignoring us,
and then forgot about us.
No upstream flow is to be found in the Yamuna' river.
No one plays the flute to that sweet melody.

The cows in the shed face upwards
and throw grass from their mouth.

Ka'nu went away,
became king
and forgot us.

You enchant and resonate my mind,
You are the very embodiment of affection.

Have mercy on afflicted ones,
I have come into Your shelter.

You are the controller
beyond the web of ma'ya'.
You destroy all adversities
and remove all dirt.

You reside deep within my mind,
and enlighten it.

You are the ultimate object of ideation,
my dearest contemplation
and the best song to listen to.

By Your weapon, the pride of the anti-divine forces,
gets powdered down.

For the welfare of all,
You restrain and integrate the mental arena.

Tingling, pleasing and vibrating,
You pardon my faults.

------------------------------------

You are divinely magnificent,
O attractive one,
embodiment of love divine!

I came under You shelter.
Please have compassion,
I am stricken with grief.

Residing beyond ma'ya' (illusive force),
You are the controller of ma'ya'.
You are the solution to all danger.
You are the stealer of bad consequences.
You live in the heart.
You colour the utmost core of minds.

You are the subjective part of my dhyana (meditation)
and the well wisher of my life.

The benefit of merely hearing You is felt.

With weapons,
made of pieces of broken earthen wore (or a skull),
You powder down
the challenge of gods, goddesses and enemies!

You maintain me restrained for the sake of my own welfare
and bestow control over my mind.

You forgive and turn us expressive, blissful and vibrant.

With the incense of meditation
and the lamp of life,
I kindled a festival of lights for You.

If You do not come,
the fresh decoration of this twilight
will go in vain.

With Your beauty and colours
You have filled this earth.
Into my mind,
You aroused attachment.

When attachment saturated,
You granted the dust of Your feet,
and filled all hearts
with song and dance.

Into my mind, You poured love.
When affection overflowed,
I held You close.

----------------------------

With the incense of my dhyana (meditation)
and the lamp of my life
I lit a row of lights.
If You not come, everything will go in vain,
all the decorations I made this dusk.

By Your grace, the world is full of forms and colours,
You fill our minds with attachments.

And at the end of all illusion,
You bless us with Your lotus feet's sacred touch.

You have charmed all hearts with dances and songs
and infused affection in them.
And at the end of all love,
You appear closer in devotion.

Leaving me alone in isolation,
where are You going?

You float me into tears,
yet, in Your mind,
You smile.
Very well do You know
that I love You.

It would have been better
had You not been performing
Your game
each and every moment.

Millions of living beings
dress up in millions of styles
to love You.
Because of that,
no place is there for me in Your heart,
neither in Your awakened condition,
nor while You are asleep.

--------------------------------

Where do You go in seclusion,
leaving me alone,
and making me weep with tears?
Inside Your mind, You silently smile.

You know very well that I love You.
Why then do You play You liila every moment?

There are crores of creatures in uncountable forms to love.
So, do I not have any place in Your heart,

neither while asleep nor while awake?

You never remain far and never hate.
Even after knowing all my faults,
You affectionately lift me onto Your lap.

I was with You since the dawn of creation,
I am with You now
and will forever remain
under Your loving shade.

Your smile,
made flowers bloom.
Bees became attracted
and my mind became coloured.

By overflowing joy
and speedy currents,
the ocean became agitated.

The buds had pulled down their veil
and were restlessly hiding in shyness.
As the light of Your effulgence fell upon them,
they became filled with restless inspiration.

O non temporal entity!
Now that You have come,
kindle light continuously.

Today, the bee suddenly spoke something
and away it went.
Waves aroused in my heart,
and made it dance in the tune of light.

You have loved me
that is why I accept You
as the entity par excellence.

--------------------------------------

Your smile made flowers bloom.
The black bees gathered around.

Your presence coloured the minds of all.
Rivers began to overflow with joy,
and the ocean started surging with bliss.

The birds, overcome by shyness,
had covered their faces with veils.
When Your light fell on them,
they were charged with inspiration.

You came out of Your own free will.
Let Your light shine forth throughout eternity.

The black bees came
and left behind some messages,
then they suddenly left.

My life arose in waves,
leaving me dancing on in the light of melody.
I know that You have always loved me.
I therefore accept You as the greatest of all.

O Lord,
I have never seen anything like You,
nor can I imagine anything like it.

By loving me, You have done so much for me.
You removed hundreds of agonies.

In stormy nights
You provided fearlessness.
During intense rains
You provided shelter.
Amidst volcanic fire eruptions, You provided the green beauty
that is so full of charming sweetness.

Frequently did I forget You,
yet, You always brought me back onto the path.
On this crimson coloured and enchanting morning,
You provided new vitality and activeness to me.

Why did the bee suddenly come into my floral garden?
Who knows? Who knows?

Being surrounded by colourful leaves and petals,
it did not listen to anything.

That is why, today,
I see a new shine in my floral garden.
A sweet breeze carries songs full of love.

The flowers desire that the bee
come and speak buzzingly
and then,
with honey filled in its bosom,
fly away to all places.

There is no obstruction in forward movement;
liberal hearts are attached to one another in rhythm.
The language of songs that is set to tunes

where does it lie? Where does it lie?

In all gardens and in all hearts
only one image remains hidden.
There is no wavering
in the notes of stringed instruments
nor is there in any mind.

During totally dark nights,

Pure essence and purifying fire
have awakened Your flame.
Intuitive light, the essence of knowledge,
shines forth in Your illumination.

The unconscious mind,
under the pressure of inertness,
came to life during pratisaincara
(the returning phase of creation).

Into the arena of pabula where love resides,
You offered final oblation.
Heavenly effulgence descended
and the earth became gracefully decorated.

Both earth and heaven
started swinging to and fro
awakening in it,
cognition of life.

My lamp glows without flicker.

Come still closer,
sit in my heart

Beloved,
You came on a cloudy night,
treading a dark path.

With each sweet tune,
that You played on the strings of the viin'a' (lyre),
to which far distant arena

did You attract me?

In that total darkness
during fear and panic,
the illumination of Your lightning
provided direction to me.

On that sleepless rain,
when hopes were broken,
my defeated heart found back its speech.

With a thundering declaration and a loud voice,
You provided consciousness to those inert.

O companion during all agonies of the dark night,
silent sympathiser during all pains!
Being so close,
why do You remain so far?

I cannot understand You
by applying the intellect
that You provided.

You crush vanity.
Hence, people call You "Stealer of Vanity".

You know all,
yet, You are not known.

O entity existing both inside and outside!

O Lord, You break all distress
and provide joy.

O blissful one,
You are worshipped by the entire world.

Never go far away, leaving me alone.

By Your effulgence, the world is illuminated.

You reside in all minds.
You continue giving strength to the distressed ones.
You make us forget past agonies.

You guide us forward with new flow and zeal.

-------------------------------------------

You constantly crush the ego,
this is why people call You Darpaharii (ego killer).
You know all, yet no one knows You.

You remain both inside and outside.
You are the remover of all distress.
You are eternally joyful, O Lord!

You are the delight of my soul.
The world salutes You.
Please, never go away from me.
The earth and universe are illuminated by Your light.
You are the traveller of minds.

You give strength to defeated ones.
You make us forget all pains.
You guide towards new inspiration and flow.

of the lotus of my heart.

O destroyer of demons!

With a sweet smile and heartfelt love,
O dweller of my heart, come!

You never tolerate vanity
and You cannot forget affection.

I love You.
That is why I request:
"make me Your own".

You remain alone
at the nucleus of the universe.
Why keep me
so distant from You?

Pull me close
and teach me how to serve You.

Loving You
and looking onto Your path,
how many eras and lives passed by?
I do not know this.

The night lily loves the moon
and smiles and weeps for it.
Does the moon not know this
and understand its mind?

The earth, full of flow and rhythm,
is without beauty in Your absence.

Like a jewel that has lost its serpent
I continue crying,
submerged in agonies.

I am surviving due to hope only,
to which my heart is tightly bound.
Tell me whether this hope of mine
will ever be fulfilled.

You are the pole star in the darkness of my life.
You are my life's light.

My days are passing by
while I wait for You.
Yet, in thinking of You,
I am filled with bliss.

Amidst the dry desert,
You are the delicious fountain.
You are the sweet memory of bygone days.
You are the golden light in pitch darkness.
You are the love filled song to broken hearts.

You love,
You know how to love,
and You constantly pour
the sweetness of nectar unto me.

You make invalids cross mountain peaks
and fill with language the mouth of dumb.

You know my hundreds of faults and errors
yet, You lift me upon Your lap,
and fill my defeated heart with hope.

Keeping You in front of me,
I go on floating to Your melody.
You ignite the lamp of my life.

At that time,
inert drowsiness was not yet over.
The sun had not yet risen in the eastern sky
and the petals of flowers did not yet smile
under the soft breeze of spring.

The dust of heaven
enthusiastically swooshed down
unto the unseen earth.

No sky nor gently smiling air
were there to dance with vivacity.

And yet, the mental viin'a' (lyre),
tuned to the musical octave,
sang numerous songs in Your tune.

Bypassing all dogmas,
a heart longed for Your touch.

You scattered heavenly sweetness all around,
You poured it into floral gardens and mental arenas.
The play of lighting in the lap of clouds
continuously calls me.
Even storms, thunder and falling meteorites,
adore You always.

My defeated heart desires You
and today is emerged in dancing.

You took on Yourself
the load of sorrows
in order to bring smiles on faces.

With a sweet voice
You continue announcing:
"I love you."

Arouse with a sweet smile
and say with love:
"Here, no agony persists."

I call You in pain and pleasure.
I work remembering You.

After losing everything,
I just want to love You wholeheartedly.

I do not want consolation nor comfort,
my only wish is that You protect me from staticity.

Come close into my mind,
I have left its door unbolted.

I searched for You
in the world of knowledge,
but attained You,
time and again,
in the light of ideation.

I never searched for You
in the depths of my mind
but instead in the external world.
That is why
You remained out of reach,
in distant realms.

Dewed with sweet affection,
You fill everyone's mind.
By impulsive, sentimental expressions,
emotional outbursts and songs
I recognise You
in tunes and melody.

In a drowsy and dreamy stream,
I had forgotten myself,
being intoxicated with blind attachment.

O one who is ever awake!
Holding me by Your hand,
You showed me the direction of movement,
to move on with head held high.

To pour out the sweetness of affection, You came,

a flood of inexhaustible flower pollen aroused.

The stream of melody flows on

You are the overwhelming flood,

that vanquish all pains.

When approaching You,
I am overcome with false shyness,
as I speaking to one
who knows much more than I do
about what I am worth.

Lightening lamps
on a bright moonlit night,
giving false tax to falsehood,
looking at the bangle of a hand in a mirror
are all but insults to intellect.

You go on playing Your divine game, why?

I went to pilgrimage in search of You
and carried out many a discussion on the scriptures.
I continued performing breathing exercises
and body-touching rituals.
Why did You not look at me?

Offering the light of my life,
decorating the flowers of my mental arena,
absorbing love-filled sandalwood paste,
I give myself.
Please accept me.

again and again,

In the colourful beauty
of the morning sun
I find You
running in the blood of my life.

I see You
in the secluded depth of my heart,
removing pain and obstruction.

When intoxicated by the wine of attachments,
I do not look at You,
even after finding You nearby.
And by forgetting You
I engross myself in non essence.

You have broken my infatuation.

removing all my pains and obstacles.

When I was addicted to the attachment
of the worldly affairs,
I did not pay attention to You.
Instead attracting You closer,
I forgot You,
and became engrossed in the futile world.

You have removed the spell of illusion that lay on me.

When the peacock and cuckoo sing,
full of enthusiasm, in sweet melody.

On the lotus altar of this earth,
You have come to destroy the threefold sorrows.

On dry buds You made flowers bloom
You brought about floods on both sides of the river bank.
You came to provide shelter to orphans,

to alleviate distressed minds,
to arouse strength in the helpless,
and to break the wheels of the carts
of those selfishly proud.

The earth came into fold in a new style,

Slumbering minds awakened

Delirious pride understood

This morning, You suddenly thought about me,
after conducting hundreds of divine games,
throughout ages and ages,
in eternally different ways.

Today, I hear the charmingly resonating
sound of ankle bells.
O Lord, please wait!
I wish to offer You my never ending salutations.

Those days of Vraja passed by invisibly
a long time back.
Into the New Vrindavana You appeared,
unfolding Yourself in the recess of my mind,
unfolding Yourself in all minds.

-----------------------------------

Is it that this morning suddenly
my remembrance came to Your mind
after putting me under hundreds of liilas
for eons in ever different ways?

Today, I hear the sweetest sound of ankle bells
that I ever heard.
Please stop a while,
I wish to offer my pranam to You.

The days of Vraja are long gone,
residing beyond our memory.
Yet, You have arrived in the new Vrindavana of our mind
and entered the core of my heart.

O Lord,
when thinking of those most sinful people,
don't be afraid.
If sinners were not there,
what greatness would You have?

Those who always call You with folded hands
and tearful eyes,
O controller of the world,
do You think they are Your only devotees?

Those who are identified as sinners,
in their minds also devotion exists.
They would not want to alight themselves
by giving the load of their sins to You.

---------------------------------

O Lord,
please don't keep Yourself away from anyone,
despising anybody as a sinner.
Had there been no sinner,
what would Your glory have been?

O Lord of the universe,
do You think that those
who take the name of You all the time,
folding the palms with tearful eyes,
are the only devotees?

There is also devotion in the hearts of those
who are known as sinners.
They would never want to be freed

You are like a golden lotus with a hundred petals.
Nowhere close, do I find such beauty.

You remain surrounded by thorns,
and, due to fear of thorns,
I do not go near You.
Remove all my fear and shyness,
so that, wholeheartedly,
I may feel Your near presence.

I want to talk to You with an open heart.
I wish my hopes to become fulfilled.
I do not want to remain far from You.

The honey of Your pollen is for everyone,
and for that honey, I am keeping awake.
No language exists
that would describe this greatness and fragrance of Yours.

---------------------------------

You are as bright as a hundred petaled golden lotus,
hardly can I dare to go near its magnificence.

You are covered with thorns
and due to this, I won't approach You.

Please remove all my shame and doubts,
so that I may realise You with all my heart.
Let me speak to You with an open mind and satisfy myself.
I don't want to remain far.

The sweetness of You pollen is for everyone,
and I wait for it without sleep.
There is no word that could describe Your glory and fame.

In order to attain You
I have been thinking only of You.
And lest this thought should end,
I craft hundreds of imaginations.

I love You,
and I know,
that You too,
love me.

Who loves more,
I dare not make known.

O Lord,
I have innumerable faults,
and never wish to think of them.
For, if I thought about my defects and mistakes,
I would forget You.

Who do flowers look at,
when opening their petals?

Filling honey into their heart,
they silently swing with the sandal breeze.

Opening wide both eyes,
filled with illusive collyrium mark,
and so full of heavenly desire,
to which far distant place
do they desire to drift off?

You float me into mental winds,
and make me listen to the call of infinity.

The rays of the moon,
the smile of stars,
that loving flute,
all sing along in unison.

I have forgotten
when my journey started.

I do not remember
how many thorns I have stepped on.

In many an intense heat
did I get burned.
In many a heavy rain,
did I get drenched.

In many a beautiful autumn
I remained intoxicated
and sang a song full of earnestness.

In innumerable golden fields
did I smile
when winter passed.

In numerous cold nights
did I shiver
when icy snowfalls descended.

In many a floral heap
did I wander during springtime,
and danced full of impatience.

Much did I cry,
wounded by worries.
I became curved
by loads of pain.

Yet, I continued looking at You.
O my Lord!

You remain ever engaged
in the colourful play
of Your nectarial flow.

Without tiredness nor fatigue
You pauselessly carry out work.

By the strength of Your own power
You dancingly rush forward,
from nucleus to periphery
and pull unto Yourself
those entities that lie far off.
You never get deviated by obstruction.

When stars and planets were not existing
and galaxies were not yet moving in cosmic space,
and even history could not record this distant past,
at that time

You existed as timeless entity.
You were present as entity without space,
as entity beyond the operative principle of Ma'ya'.

By delight and oscillation,
You made us forget all pangs of separation.
The envoy of light reappears again and again,
declaring its message with sweet assurance.
You came in the sunlight of the eastern horizon
and destroyed all darkness.

In Your voice, the trumpet blows.
The sun oscillates by Your expression.
The lotus of consciousness blooms,
revolving in the light of intuition.

the trees in the dry desert
bloomed with flowers.

The dead desert became fragrant,
colourful and soft,
something which I could never have imagined,
and cannot understand even now.

My broken heart started moving anew.
You are the embodiment of all.
You move everywhere.
Although You seem still,
You are fast moving.

Make the ocean of effulgence restless,
and churn its sweet poles.

In lost and sweet memories,

come closer.

One who is king today,

nor do You stop by any hindrance.

You never become distressed and keep on singing: Victory to Dharma!
You are without flaws,

You are full of consciousness, You are the basis of all
You are free from all desire.

O Lord of the shelterless

why do You make everyone dance in millions of rhythms?
Tell me, what do You expect

By hand signals, effulgence invites itself
through the gaps of clouds.
Which distant melody are the floral pollen,

The power of speaking,
egoistic utterances,
eyes fixed on the greatest,
words entering the ears,

all these are but expressions of Your divine game.

intoxicated by the wine of ma'ya',

My acquaintance with You,
is not merely a matter of a few eras only.

It is not written down in history
and no one knows about this event.

With the first year,
the first rain appeared.

On finding the sweetness of Your mind
joy came about.

Honey came into the flower first,
and the moon's face became coloured.

The sandal breeze started blowing
with the overwhelming joy of attainment
and the softness of a great heart.

Out of fear You might be attained,
You have become infinite,
there is nothing else left to be understood.

You keep Yourself hidden
for fear of loosing Yourself
by mixing with all.

You are hidden in the sky,
in the ocean,
in the depths of the three arenas,
in the air
and in the mountains,
in galaxies, in distant nebula.

To Your love
there is no end.

You are hidden in the lines on leaves,
in intense rains, in the song of clouds,
in destructive fear,
in sweet consciousness,
and in my mental jewel casket,

Yet, even though I know all this,
I forget.

When did I come out
to sing Your song?

I have forgotten that time
and the hue of my coloured thread of love.
By what inspiration and desire
did I continue to look forward?

Probably at that time
the darkness of clouds
or the intense current of flood prevailed.

Perhaps that day,
day and night,
no one was there to look at.

I might have cried out of fear
when looking at the thorns on the path.
Probably, ignoring danger, I moved forward.

You are the flash of light
in the dark night,
You are the blooming hundred-petal lotus
on a cloudy day.

You are the message of hope
to the distressed heart
and the shining moonlight
to a broken heart.

How many times did I get lost
and again returned?
How many times did I cry in pain
and again smiled with joy?

Without You there is neither song nor life,
in fact, no resource in the world stands without You.

In a colourful moment,
You came to me in royal adornments,
and then left again,
leaving me a pauper.

Yet, in distress,
You once more overflow with love
and remove my pain,
by wiping away my tears.

Why does the sun

Why does white snow lay its umbrella

Why do emeralds radiate green beauty?

is being kept on Your base.
It will never be extinguished.

All existing languages and melodies

Your utterance in the great expression,

Hear my question!
O heartless one, listen!

Why do living beings come (to this world) crying,
if they cannot survive smilingly?

Why do insects destroy flowers
and honey is eaten up by black bees?

Why is laughter not sold in the marketplace
and why does the infant cry round the clock?

Why are some people unable to satisfy their hunger,
while others eat by wasting even rich food?

Why does the beauty of evenings call me by hand signals,
whereas nights are deeply dark?

Why does the mind move towards an undesirable path
when You are ever present?

Who is that who keeps singing along
with the evening stars,
calling me by name
with sweetness and affection?

He keeps on rushing and dancing
without being asked to,
and observes me from a distance.

He remains mingled with the rain clouds,
with the winter sky
and the gentle breeze.

He is incomparable,
lying in the intense idea of consciousness,
unable to be caught even by playing tricks on Him.

In the cold and snowy prewinter wind,
in the inertia of winter,
in the breeze of spring,
in the floral fragrance on mango tree branches
during summer storms,
in the honey in floral fragrances,
He remains.

I moved forward
kissing innumerable hard rocks.
I moved through pebbles, lumps,

I never found
the end of my journey towards You.

I witnessed
plain and simple lives,
felt the restlessness of the heart,
observed the reverberations
that originate from developing villages,
heard the intense silence of markets after closure,
came to know the agonies of distressed hearts,

and saw the history embedded in funeral ashes.

I move on with all,

show me Your real form

The restless stream
that originates from its fountain,
rushes out in search of You.

Today, it does not want anything.
It moves in the sole hope of attaining You.

scatters its colourful light,

You entered my heart.

Into the half dried up stream of my life,
You aroused tides of inspiration.

You made pollen shiver
by filling them
with the sweetness of the morning hue.

Pouring flows into my dry impulse,
You came with an intense song.

Neither fear of getting lost,
nor ending pause remains.

No such thought lingers on
to frighten us,
for, all end lies in the flow of time.

to make my mind mad

and to provide me with inspiration.

You filled the pollen of my life with endless joy.
The morning colour is laden with sweetness.
You came with deep songs,
absorbing us in Your flow.

There is no fear of getting lost,
neither is there scope to become extinct.
No such thought is there
that could make us frightened.
The end will come in the stream of time.

While coming to ask for You,
I mistakenly asked for Your boon.

I went to get the ocean,
but instead, I got a drop of salty water only.

I did not understand
the difference between animate and inanimate.
I did not learn to differentiate between
what is pleasure and what is beneficial.

I considered myself wise
for getting the fruit
and leaving aside the tree itself.

Whatever You have given me with Your right hand,
You have taken away with Your left hand.

At the end of all desires and attainments,
on a final check, remains only nil.

You know that today I am with You,
I do not ask for anything,
for, it is Your flute that sings this message.

With Your joy and by Your touch,
the earth today started smiling.

In Your rhythm and bliss,
the earth expresses its love by announcing: "I love You".
In the flow of Your grace and blessings,

the dark fog lifted in mere fractions of time.

Those trying to extinguish Your light vanished away,
and, along with them, heaps of sin.

Thoughts lying suppressed
in the imaginary flower of the mind,
today descended down into the core of mortals.

The kindling of light on earth
merged into the seven realms
and played its flute in unison with all.

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

The entire creation is smiling
in Your touch and happiness,
and in rhythm and bliss it proclaims:
"I love You, I love You alone".

By Your blessings, in Your flow,
the blackness of the dark and foggy night has vanished.
The reactions of sinful acts,

that caused Your light to be dimmed,
have disappeared.

Once suppressed thoughts
are now blooming in flowery imagination.

You sing along in that same tune.
In the light, kindled by Your flute,
all become one
with the lokas of the seven worlds.

You are the effulgence of the distant heaven,
You are best of all.

You filled all with affection.
You poured into all the essence of nectar.
You destroyed all dark dirt.

On the high peak of generosity,
with the soft sweetness of murmuring,
beyond pitch darkness,
You are the singular and awakened illumination.

You are the message of hope
to broken hearts.
You are the sweet and soothing clourful wick
in the mouth of the infant.
You pour the joy of attainment
into the heart of a complete pauper.

As You have today called me,
how can I stay home?

I cannot understand
what magic pervades Your melody.
In sleep, while awake and in dream
Your flute constantly resounds
in my mental arena.

I want to avoid You but,
as You are seated in my heart,
how would that be possible?

I know only little about musical octaves.
You remain beyond it all, O Lord!
By Your rhythm, song and blissful melody,
You immerse me in higher realms,
transcending this world.

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

It is difficult to stay in the house today,
as You have called me.
It is hard for me to realise,
how You are playing magic
in Your ragas and raginiis.

Your flute sings on continuously in my mind,
in sleep, dream
and my awakened state of mind.
I want to see You sitting in my heart.
But how is it practically feasible?
Please tell me.

Whatever I know about musical scales is as nothing.
You are beyond the reach of it all.
Your songs and rhythms bring bliss,
and transcend me beyond all lokas.

Come and sit in my home,
illuminating everything.

By Your touch,
all accumulated restlessness
is blown far away.

In the eastern sky when light radiates,
Your sweetness smiles in water and earth.
Your descend and infinite love
fills my mind and heart.

In the firmament of my mind,
with full illumination,
when I see with sweet impulse,
all my meanness and shortcomings
start dancing around Your greatness.

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

You came into my house
and sat down, enlightening everything.
By Your touch, all pollution disappeared.

When Your sweetness laughs
in the land, in the water
and in the eastern horizon's light,
my life and mind become filled
with Your infinite love.

When, in sweet absorption,
I see Your form
in my heart,
all narrowness and imperfection
merge in and start dancing to Your greatness.

O my distant friend,
have You forgotten me?

Whom is my lost heart continuously searching?

The bulbul bird does not come
in the floral garden anymore.
The bee does not sit on the floral garland.

And yet, I remain seated, with unknown hopes.
Who is it You call with tinkling sounds?

In action You remain busy day and night,
ever engrossed in the intoxication of work.
Amidst action only I find Your love
and in it, my search for You is maintained.

Loving You,
I float into an unknown world.
Today, in pain and pleasure,
I have filled my yard with melodies.

With attentive and eager eyes,
I have been looking at You day and night.
Into Your endless arena,
my vision gets lost.

Come, come close,
and, with love, sit beside me.

If You wish,
You may forget me,
but do not forget that I love You only.

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

To which unknown world
am I carried away by Your love?

Today, I am filled with Your love.
I remain on Your lap,
in Your tune,
and also in Your pains and pleasures.

In which distant horizon,
where only Your infinite loka exists,
did my eyes get lost when visualising You?
With ardent desire,
day and night,
I kept forsaking sleep?

Please come closer,
and sit beside me.
If You wish to forget,
You may forget everything,
but do not forget that I love only You.

Your sweet smile floats into the universe.
Rushing with essence of nectar,
it approaches an unknown heaven.

You have swung the divine realm
and made the physical world forget itself.
Looking ahead with non-blinking eyes,
what is it You desire to attain?

Without paying heed to whatsoever direction,
You float on day and night, vibrating minds and hearts.

You pervade the living and non-living worlds,
stable and moving entities,
and the blue sky.

You remain seated in all minds,
singing with sweet resonance.

With flashes of lightning in the clouds,
You came in the dark night.

With unbound love and hope,
You smiled in my mental mirror.

I had been looking at the material world only,
enjoying pleasures in inertness.
I never looked at You even once,
I did not see that You had returned back.

I was intoxicated in the sentiment of self,
loving only selfish thinking.
I did not think that I too am but Your imagination,
for, You exist as the essence of all essences.

I recognised You
riding on a bright chariot of effulgence,
in the flow of the distant heaven.

You came floating.
You awakened waves beyond darkness,
and sung songs in the tune of intuition.

You bloomed flowers in the upward flow of my heart,
You came down on this earth.

You do not bear unjust discriminations.
You do not accept distinctions between high and low.

No shortcoming do I find in You,
and therefore forever bow unto Your feet.

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

I remember You.
I could well recognise You
when You came in a divine flow,
sitting on a chariot of white light.

You raised waves
on the other side of the ocean,
and sung songs,
that were filled with the jingling sound of divine realisation.
You came down unto this earth

and, by the touch of Your heart,
made flowers bloom.

You do not discriminate between high and low.
Narrow-mindedness can have no quarter in You.
That is why I ever bow down unto Your feet.

O my distant friend, come close,
why do You remain far away and alone?

Your victory bugle resounds,
constantly announcing that You belong to all.
Day and night, I am awake for Your arrival.
I am unable to bear this pain any longer.

Clouds drift away
over mountain peaks, and, in the form of water,
return back to the sea.

Do not stay afar, come close.
Let our meeting start in proximity.

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

O my distant companion, come near,
why do You remain afar?

Your victorious drum resounds.
I hear that You are for everybody.
Yet, day and night I await You.
I can't bear this pain anymore.

Clouds float far away,
moving from the ocean onto the mountains.
Yet, in the form of rain,
they again return to the ocean's heart.

Like the cloud,
do not remain far away -
come back, come near to me.
Let me begin to look at You from a close distance.

Bypassing thunders and meteorites,
let us move forward
towards the auspicious world of light.

We shall not fear the thorns on our path,
but uproot and cast them aside.

On our way, how many insects disturb?
In our vicinity, how many devils dance?
Only those who have made their objective a target,
attain their goal.

Although the path is difficult,
we shall trample over obstacles and move on.

The path treaded by wise persons in the past,
has left a flow of bliss.
On that path shall we move,
conveying to all the new message.

On a stormy night You entered my alert eyes.

You removed my fear
and told me:

"Do not worry,
I am with you,
I stay with you."

You opened the door that was closed,
and removed its bolt with Your own hands.
You prepared Your own seat,
and sat down in that awful and dark night.

My heart shivered by the charm of this experience.
In my mind it occurred that this period,
should linger on beyond the limitation of time
and not pass away under any circumstance.

You expressed Yourself
in a variety of colours and forms,
the names of which remain unknown.

You radiated waves of effulgence
into the deep and dark well.

By diffusing particles
of the effulgence with which You swung the heavens,
You enchanted the world.

You aroused tinkling sounds in every mind
and bloomed in them as a new niipa flower.
The flow of mercy released today,
inundates all mortal minds.

You filled expression,
into dull and dumb faces.
And therefore, with incense and lamp,
we worship You.

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

You blossomed in an unknown colour and form;
You spread a wave of light into the well of gloom.

In that significance You have swung the celestial world;
only a particle of that vibration makes the earth forget itself.
You brought a jingling sound into the hearts of all.
You became manifested in a new form,

You became manifested in a new form.

A stream of compassion pours forth today,
overflowing the human mind
and filling the tongues of the ignorant and speechless
with sweet words.

They welcome You with lamp and incense.

The seven spheres of the universe
are not outside You.
You know all my qualities and defects.

Today, I surrender myself completely.
I just want a wee bit of Your grace
and a compassionate look of Yours.

For ages, throughout lifetimes,
I had been moving along the wrong path.
Today, having understood my mistake,
I rectified my error for the first time.

I wish to offer You all my actions and thoughts
and not keep anything to myself.

Forever stay in the lotus of my heart,
providing all round illumination.

The sun that has set
again rises in the east.
The flowers that have dropped below the tree,

The night, after its arrival,
again disappears into distant realms.
And yet, all this remains embedded in Your mind.

Your divine game revolves around light and darkness.
And with light and shade, You surround me.

You spread Yourself throughout the universe,

wandering through a thorny lane.
I have poured out all that was mine at Your feet.

The path that has been crossed,
the song that has been lost,
I have come carrying the dust of its tune.

The pollen that was absorbed with honey,
the tune that was embedded in my heart,
the sweetness of all these has not been lost until today.

I have come, I have come
treading a path of thorns.
I have surrendered everything at Your feet.

The pollen that was mixed with honey
and the tune that was hidden in my heart...
their charm still lingers on.

O Purus'ottama, Nucleus of the Universe,
You came and brought about a stream of effulgence.

Today, the river of bliss
rushes out with dance,
singing and flooding both its banks.

Your song intoxicates all.
The river flows on,
rushing forth with the rhythms of dance.
What did You do,
to win the hearts and minds of all?

Today, my restless heart does not heed to anything.
Its rushing waves do not care for obstructions.

You attracted all unto You,
bringing close both the known and the unknown.

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

Nucleus of the universe,
my Lord,
You have come.

You have brought about a flow of light,
a fountain of light.
Today, a blissful stream
is running downhill and singing.
It touches and floods all shores.

It carries everyone
and makes all dance,
in the rhythm of infinite intoxication
all become mad.
What have You done today!
You conquered everyone's mind and heart.

Today, my overflowing heart is very defiant
and the moving current overflows all hindrances.
You have attracted me.
You have brought everyone near to You,
knowingly and unknowingly,
by Your attraction.

I have floated the boat of songs
into the ocean of melodies.

Today, none is far,
all are within me.

The entity with diverse colours and forms,
which had not yet come into my fold,
was today attained in the tinkle of melodies.

That melody which had not been practiced,
or tuned to the strings of my lyre,
today, that very song, told me:

"In a sweet illusory world I remain secluded,
will you come and find me?"

He brought about fruits, flowers and greeneries.

The air is saturated with sweet sandal fragrance.
The moon pours forth its light bountifully.

The earth is now overflowing

that break asunder all obstructions.

Those still under the influence of sleep
should get up without delay.

The star of everyone's eye has come.
He brought with Him heaps of joy.

I became acquainted with You
on that dark night
when clouds were rumbling.

That cloudy nighT́s event
I will never forget.

The stars remained hidden
behind the clouds.
The moon lay imprinted
on that dark nighT́s forehead.

Except for the sound of pouring rain
everything was quiet,
and You stood beside me,
O embodiment of consciousness!

Your coming and going took place in darkness,
our acquaintance also was likewise made in the dark.

You came with a lamp in hand.
On account of this
You came into my fold,
due to that light..
O embodiment of beauty!

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

On that dark and cloudy night,
I got acquainted with You.
I can never forget that event,
on that cloudy night.

The stars were hidden behind the clouds.
Except the pouring sound of rain,
everything else was quiet.
You stood near me,
O embodiment of consciousness.

You came and went away in darkness
You introduced Yourself with a lamp in hand,
and, in the light of that lamp,
I caught sight of You.
O embodiment of beauty!

The fragrance of that path
on which You came,
lingers on it even to this day.

The smile that You scattered,
that vibration dances on even today.

You came through fragrant songs,
rhythms and melodies,
and became mingled with all life.

Why did You gaze at me?
In the core of my heart
that attraction of Yours still persists.

I asked for a wee bit of Your grace,
and attained it.
My ultimate achievement rests in You.

The consequence of this attainment
has not faded away even to this day.

With the hope of achieving it again only, I survive.

You swung the world
and entered into its life.

You came down to this world,
for the upliftment of the neglected.

By the swing that You gave,
all creepers, leaves and pollen of flowers,
began to sing.

Due to that influence
You descended, filling the earth with beauty.
Into that beauty You filled sweet melodies.

By Your life, all attained their life.
By Your effulgence,
the world became illuminated.

You awakened the consciousness of those neglected
and made all understand that none is insignificant.
And into this awakening, Your nectar flows on.

O Lord,
after listening to my invocation
You finally came.
You are the heavenly, all-granting tree (Kalpataru).

Although I am but a dry desert,
You took Your place in my heart.
In front of You
I surrender myself.

I offer You whatever is mine.
Whatever, for so long,
I had considered my own
is now offered to You.

In the far blue sky
Your beauty is expressed,
and mingles with the fragrant sandal breeze.

Whatever distance may exist
between You and me,
let there be an end to it today.

Whatever I have given You is nothing.
Whatever I have received from You
is inexhaustible and immeasurable.

By virtue of Your own quality,
You understand my internal feelings
and fill them with melody.

By Your rhythm and song,
by Your incomparable melody,
You energise the entire world.

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

O Lord,
hearing my call,
You came, You came!

You are Kalapatru
(a wishing tree that gives everything You ask for).
whereas I am but a dry desert.

You took Your seat in my heart.
I surrendered myself to You.
I surrendered my everything - whatever I possessed.

Whatever I had for so long as mind -
that much I did not surrender to You.

In the distant blue sky,
in Your smile,
in the breeze,
the flow of Your charming love lingers on.
Whatever distance there is between us,
let there be an end to it today.

Whatever I gave was nothing.
What I got is endless.
There can be no measuring of it.

With Your greatness,
please touch my heart.
With Your songs,
remove the pain in it.
With Your melodies,
fill the universe with new life.

The days of Vraja are gone.
Gopa'l of Vraja has left His home.

The sweetness of Vraja
has spread throughout the world,
and has illuminated it.

Yet, in Vraja the ladies
do not light lamps in the evenings,
and in rainy seasons,
the niipa flower does not bloom.

The ladies of Vraja
now do not put on vermilion marks
on their forehead,
but instead, silently weep.

The boys of Vraja have stopped playing.
Their cows do not eat grass anymore.

The shy deer
with enchanting black but sweet eyes
are not seen anymore.

The milkmaids do not churn curd
as they constantly look for the butterstealer.
Bereft of waist ornaments
they today, beat their heads.

to welcome You, has faded.
Where in my mental mirror are You?

I hear the sound of Your footsteps
but do not know,
whether or not You came,

Ignoring the thorns I stamped on,
in my mind, I continue carrying Your ideation.

come with sweet impulse

By sweetly playing His flute
and by a sweet smile,
who is He who won my mind?

He comes to me without being called,
and doesn't come,
if I call Him.
What beautiful string of love binds us!

Unprecedented is the look
in His eyes and His sweet face.

And in an unprecedented way,
He filled the world with beauty,
and brought about agitation
in the ocean of effulgence.

By holding on to His clean lotus feet
I tolerate hundreds and hundreds of blames.
I do not fear even death
for His altar resides above it all.

You destroy intense darkness.
You love unconditionally.

Those wishing to avoid You,
also have a place in Your mind.

With those who cannot forget You,
You maintain Your conversation.

By Your illusive divine game
You created the world.
From beyond the scope of ma'ya',
You provide inspiration.

You keep everyone absorbed

and yet, You indicate the ultimate aim.

To obstruct You,

With a smiles that sheds pearls,
whatever He does is done with benevolence.

Removing drowsiness with sweet melodies,
colouring life with the moonlight,
bringing down rain with a pull of love,
He floats in everyone's heart.

He knows how to love all without inhibition.
He does not discriminate between black and white.
He fills all with unbound affection.

rainfalls are shed,
and, with that water,
everyone's heart floods adrift.

He knows how to love and makes no distinctions.
He does not care whether one is black or white.
He fills everyone with the endless love
that ever emanates from Him.

You only are my aim,
no one else.

and wander about,
searching for language in the world of abstract.

In Your ideation,

I merge all feelings of pain and pleasure in You,
into Your beauty, colour and love.

Ideation is embedded in this flow,
and, unhindered by my interfering,
finds expression in divine realms.

In Your thought
my days pass by.
Pleasures and pains
become one with You,
become one with Your form and melody.

Giver of all fruits of my desires,
In deep contemplation
I become one with You.

With the waves of melodies,
with enchanting hues,
how did You colour the world?
Please tell me.

With sweet limbs,
swinging charmingly,
You continue playing Your divine sport with all.

In moonlit nights
and in the crimson hue of golden dawns,
You intoxicate the world.

With cupped palms,
full of campaka buds,
You touch everyone
and make them Your own.

With rhythm,
You vibrate the psychic arena.
With rainbow colours,
You paint the sky.

You remain hidden
behind everything,
Your divine game is wonderful.

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

With waves of melody,

With sweet limbs,
in charming bends,
You continue playing Your divine sport with all.

You intoxicate this physical world
with moonlit nights
and the crimson hue of golden dawns.

With cupped palms, full of campakA buds,
You touch everyone.
With rhythm, You vibrate the psychic arena,
and paint the sky with rainbow colours.

You lie hidden in all expression,
Your divine game marvels me.

The bakula flowers have all withered away.

The lamp of hope has become extinguished.
The fragrances of flower pollen
have drifted away.

Your divine game goes on
in light and shade.
You constantly play with all.
Sometimes You fill us with honey,
sometimes You take away our everything.

Now that the flowers
have withered away,
I shall get fruits.

The wheels of Your cart
go on revolving continuously.
But joy and sorrow alternate.

As I know the cause that lies behind it all,
I am not surprised.

Look, the bakula flowers that withered
have again taken shape in Your garland.

Expecting You,
I have been counting days.

You did not see
the heaven in my heart.

My sorrowful mind
wants to come close to You, but cannot move.

The Yamuna' river of my heart has dried up.
My inner strings have broken.
The pain of not attaining You
expressed itself in eyes filled with tears.
But You did not understand it.

You just moved on
with the rhythms of dance, ignoring my estranged heart.

Flushing away my tear drenched words,
You do not listen
to the words of my inner heart.

by pouing into my worthiness,
Your unlimited love.

You filled it with pleasure
by adding to it rhythm

O my companion,
You brought to me the honey of affection,
only to fill me with the illumination of ideation.

You filled me with unending vivacity
and made my heart overflow.

You never want nor take anything, and although You know
the hundreds of defects in me,

You don't treat me inferior.

You gave instructions to follow a straight path.
You flowed a current of effulgence,
and kindled an infinite number of lamps.

If the darkness of sin endeavours to bury me,
surround me in Your illumination.

In the rainy night and in stormy winds,
if, due to fear of danger, I cry,
sweetly touch me with Your hand
and glance at me with love.

My days come and go like series of rays.

Provide a place for me in Your boat,
and, in the flow of a unique melody,
absorb me in sweetness.

You came to my home
but why did You leave?

If You had in mind to go away quickly,
why did You come in the first place?

As the stars flash in the cosmos,
so did You illuminate thousands of rubies.

Circling around me,
they all wonder
why I let You go,
they all desire
You to come again.

The night jasmine flower cries
and is smeared with dust.
Under the load of dewdrops
it is unable to speak.

The lotus flower does not bloom

but cries even now.

O honeybee,
come close to me.

Look,
today, my honey is getting consumed.

You are the moon in the sky.
I am but an earthen lamp.

My light loses itself
in the blue sky.

My collection of honey,
accumulated moment after moment,
O friend, is for You only.

My deprived heart,
constantly restless,
wants only You.

You did not come
nor did You allow me to come near You.

Thinking of You,
my mind rushes off unto infinity.

In the great cosmos,
the lamp of my hope is very meagre.
Yet, it is not insignificant.
Know it to be my love.

You did not come to love me.
You did not make me understand
that nothing ever ends either.

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

O Madhupa!
Please come closer to me.

You see, my honey is slowly disappearing.
You are the moon of the sky,
whereas I am but a lamp.
In the blueness of the great sky
my light fades away.

My accumulated honey is for You only,
O companion!
It is a recollection of every moment.
My deprived heart longs only for You.
It anxiously awaits You each and every moment.

You did not come to sustain me.
Yet, thinking of stories of You,
my mind rushes towards limitlessness.

In this great sky
the flame of my hope is very insignificant.
Yet, You know my love is not negligible.

You did not come to love me,
You did not come to let me know
that nothing ever disappears.

did You created this beautiful world?

By Your intuitive power,
O cosmic ocean,
the stars started shining in the blue sky.

By the force of Your mental wind,
my boat floats upstream without inhibition.

In Your cyclic illusive game,
by Your illusive playful expression,
You filled energy
into each and every pore.

You existed in past,
You exist in present,
and You keep drawing the sketch of the future.

You are song and love of all.
In sweet remembrance,

You kindle light in each mind.

In the adornments of fierce wars,
in the desert fire,

in raucous shouting,
You filled the sweetness of flowers.

The dry grass wept

It wept silently and tearlessly in isolation.

After losing everything,
You bestowed the joy of attainment,

Unknown traveler,
I love You.

You pour into this earth
the effulgence of life,
and destroy deep darkness.

The seven colours
of the sun's cart,
that shine in the eastern sky,
are the colours of Your mind.

The form, that rises into eyes floating,
is the expression of everyone's smile.

Into the heart of the inertia stricken earth,
You filled a shiver of light
that spread forth in a multitude of directions.

You move on smiling,
awakening the earth,
and floating adrift into the endless cosmos.

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

Unknown companion,
I love You.
You shower the earth with the effulgence of life.
You annihilate cimmerian darkness.

On the solar chariot of seven colours,
on the eastern horizon,
the beatitude of Your mind charms my eyes.
Indeed is it the joy of all lives.

On the bosom of the earth,
which was spoiled by static drowsiness,
You emanate waves of effulgence.

In all directions,
You continue awaking,
and with Your laughter,
flood this endless cosmos.

O formless Lord,
awaken Yourself
as a shining and beautiful form,
disseminating a steady effulgence.

In the expectation of Your attainment,
numerous living beings,
day and night,
with sleepless eyes, remain awake.

I send out my salutation
in the form of songs.
I salute towards the eastern hills,
on this crimson dawn,
where I would expect Your arrival.

Come secretly,
come silently by foot,
with a lotus flower
holding its stem in Your cupped palms.

I heard of Your attributes
in the scriptures.
With my eyes,
I see the outline of Your beauty.

I love You.
Pour more illumination into me,
and fulfil my being
by making me Your own.

You came with enchanting rhythm,
melody and tunes!
What sort of illusory web did You create?

You left, taking with You the core of my being
and not pronouncing the last word.

The distant nebula is painted with sandal paste.
It is there
that my mental peacock spreads its wings.

What sort of nectar did You pour,
into the garden of words, into each and every bush
and into mental temples?

Come into the frenzied wind
that my mental bee may rush unto You.

The lost memories of my past,
I shall offer You.

O eternal bestower,
You float all pains of my heart into the unlimited.

makes smiles bloom

Imagining me and You

in a sweet night,

To You I offer

On that dreamy night,
with drowsy eyes,
I saw You
in the reflection of Your light.

On that illuminated night,
there was no one
to sit near You
nor to communicate with.

You opened the bolts of my windows
and entered the room,
infusing it with new life.

The intense darkness
that I was dwelling in,
became filled with the beauty of illumination.

You told me that all are Yours
and that there should be no reason
for wasting one's time crying.

One whose tears flow on ceaselessly,
is to cry for the attainment of his/her goal only.

You are mine,

You are the star of these two eyes of mine.

In tears, smiles,
happiness and sorrow,
You are ever present in my heart.

To the arbour garden of my life,
You are the lasting spring.

From within my isolated silent heart,
I ever salute You.
Flowing me into tears,
and absorbing me in affection,
Your love overwhelms.

Surrendering everything,
relinquishing lust,
I lose myself in You.

Indeed, You are mine, O Lord,
You are my summum-bonum.

You are the pupils of both my eyes,
and, in my tears and smiles,
in pleasures and pains,
You fill my heart.

In my life's garden,
You are the lasting spring.
In the quietness of my heart,
I adore You always,
and constantly bow unto You.

You make one burst into tears.
So affectionate You are,
O embodiment of love.

Submitting my everything,
sacrificing my desires,
I lose myself in You.

O Lord,
if anytime my mind should break,
stay with me.

If ever the lamp of my hope be extinguished,
keep the kindling stick ready in hand.

O eternal one,
if ever unkind fate,
intoxicated with the destructive attitude of time,
desires to totally destroy my beauty,
during that bad time,
please take care of me.

When thunderous and cyclonic storms
attempt to dry up the sweetness of my life,
in that dark time of my silent pain,
call me with an affectionate mind.

On the viin'a' of my heart,
in new expressions,
which tune did You play today?

During this intense rain,
on what confidence,
did You make me leave my home?

All flowers have withered away,
only thorns remain lying.
My floral garden has lost its fragrance.

Into my dried up mental river
why did You flow an upstream current?
Please tell me.

The festival of light moved far away,
darkness wrapped up my all.
Into this snatched life of mine,
into my void vitality,
why did You pour new light?
Please tell me.

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

On the viina of my heart,
with new charm,
what a wonderful ragini have You played?

In the showering rain,
with what hopes
have You called me out of my home?
Why?

The flower petals have fallen off,
only thorns are left.
My flower garden has lost its fragrance.
Yet, in the flowless river of my mind,
why did You flood an upstream current?

The celebrations of light spread far and wide.
Layers of darkness vanished away.
Into my robbed life,
into my empty heart,
why did You shower brightness of novelty?

You came from beyond the ocean of darkness
into the festival of beauty.

Radiating effulgent expressions,
You smiled in the descent of intuition.

What was confined to heaven
now belongs to all.
Everyone's heart overflows with bliss,
floating in the current of melody.

You came with love,
filling thought into language.

Come into my hut,
come slowly,
very slowly,
vibrating Your feeling in systaltic ways.

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

Crossing the ocean of darkness,
You have come in the grandeur of forms.
You have laughed within the reflection of light,
You have smiled in the descent of bliss.

Whatever was beyond reach,
now belongs to all.
Overflowing all hearts with bliss,
You are afloat in the stream of melodies.

You have come in the form of love,
giving language to unspoken ideas.

O, Lord!
Please come softly into my heart,
very softly, vibrating with waves.

by Your grace,
the fountain of light
descended.

All minds of the world fearlessly
started rushing into its light.

In water,
in the air
and in the great blue sky,
in mind,
in speech,
in fire and wind,
You eternally remain,
pervading all
in the flow of Your divine game.

O embodiment of consciousness!

In the assembly of stars,
in distant nebulae,
You radiate effulgence,
enacting Your fanciful game.

In seclusion,
You enter all minds.
In seclusion,
You create and destroy.

O embodiment of kindness!

You came into my mind
through the eastern mountains,
colouring it
and filling it with melody and tune.

You turned my heart restless
with Your rhythm.

Attuning my viin'a' to musical octaves,
sitting on the lotus of my heart,
engrossing Yourself in intuitive ideas,
in an arena beyond thought,
which tune did You pour on me?

As far as I can see with open eyes,
other than You,
I do not find anyone anywhere.

Eyes closed
when I look inside my heart,
I see Your divine game
taking place each and every moment.

Who does not know
that You filled force into all types of love?

You filled tunes into songs,
accepted by all.

When there was nothing
in this created world,
only cimmerian darkness existed
amidst nonstop festivity.

You brought about vibrations
into the lingering night,
as fountains in dream.

In good and bad,
in auspicious and inauspicious,
in the fragrance of flowers,
and in the dirty dust of the earth,
in the chirping of birds,
in emptiness,
You enter my mind,
as first thing in my existence.

You entered
into my hearing, thinking and meditation.

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

In Your love all are filled with life.
Who does not know this?
Who does not know?
You have brought new tunes into songs,
for all to enjoy.

When there was nothing in this world
and, due to static darkness,
festivities were nonexistent,
into that night,
You brought new waves,
like streams of effulgence in dreams.

Mortal, immortal,
auspicious, inauspicious,
flowers' fragrance,
dust of dirty earth or tattle of birds,
in the absence of all these,
You enacted a first expression,
descending down to psychic realms.

You appeared in sounds,
incantations and contemplations,
at the end of the dark period of night.

an untimely spring arrived.

With the force of Your song,
and the reverse flow of love,
an overflowing current
of Your stream spread forth.

In this violent environment
I sit,
looking towards the path,
in expectation of Your arrival.

Come quickly!
The impatient earth has bloomed flowers
to welcome You.

In Your sweet meditation,
thought and remembrance,
my mind becomes filled
with unlimited bliss.

Without You, my viin'a' remains mistuned.
Come closer and smile softly,
and with Love, take me on an auspicious path.

Whenever Your eyes are free,
unbound by other people's image,
allow me to come near Your feet.

Whenever You not think of the sun, of planets and stars,
come down into the lotus of my heart.

All the sweetness of my heart,
I have carefully kept collected for You.
Come slowly into the depth of my mind,
crossing the dry and rugged path.

My reactive momenta (sam'skaras)
pull me from behind.
They know how to create obstacles
on my forward movements.

Knowing You will remove those obstacles
by showering but a wee bit of Your grace,
I surrender myself to You.

In this illusively intoxicating world,

I do not find peace when searching You.

Your effulgence,
by removing all darkness,
ought to bring tranquility into my life.

Although You do not come near me,
You pull me close to You.

make me forget all agonies

for You I am awake

day and night.

More and more my eyes
look at Your intoxicating illusion
unable to find peace.
Your light, only Your light removes all darkness
and brings supreme peace into my heart.

Even though You do not come close to me,
You attract me.
What kind of tie is this that binds me?
Your smile, only Your smile
makes me forget all my pain
and refreshes my mind.

In the world of disappointments

what did You say

Expressing Your welcoming,
the papiya bird sings its song.

The pala'sh tree / flower is watching
with colour applied on its eyes.

In the hue of that colour,
the earth remains beautified
and illuminates all.
It looks at You with heartfelt satisfaction.

Today, in sweet ideation,
affection scatters about.

Eyes, expanded in bewilderedness, look on.
My heart, full of love overflowing nectar,

What sort of love is this?

Even without asking You to do so,
You nonetheless spoke to me.
What dreamy love is this?

My defeated heart lay about neglected.
My recurring nights came restlessly.

Then, my fully quenched thirst smiled in delight.

You came to me
after such long time,
floating in floral pollen.
I wonder for whom is meant
all this mercy of Yours?

And yet, why did You create deceptions?
Tell me whether or not You love me.

Why did You remain afar?
Due to what displeasure?

However tough the path may be,
I shall go moving on towards You

than carrying out Your work.

denouncing the demons.

should cover me,
my movement on the path will not stop.

Taking Your name,
keeping You in my heart,
I shall move on without fear.

Today, there are no other words to listen to
except those narrating stories of Your glory.

You are strong, mighty
and capable of annihilating demons.

Should I ever become surrounded

I will go on fearlessly,
reciting Your name,
keeping You in my heart always.

In which distant past,
in which dark night,
did You hold my hand
and made me cross the difficult path?
This event, I cannot forget.

How many days passed by?
How many eras have gone?
How many stars in the blue sky
faded away untimely?

that love of Yours,
remains alive until today.

That lost memory,
that immortal song,
I long to keep in my heart.

In the morning light,
You decorate Yourself with colourful costumes.

this much is sufficient charity from You.

O my most beloved,
I found You in the morning light.

Amidst the crimson light,
You loved me and accepted my goodness.

I offer You all my good,
keeping the bad with myself.

Whatever I give,
I offer like sandal fragrance.
Though meager,
please accept it.
O adored one by the world!

I am aware
that both light and darkness reside within me.
Let darkness remain with me,
I shall decorate You with the adornment of light.

O remembered one by all,
even should my offering be small,
keep it at Your feet.

On the occasion of this great festival of lights,
why should You be absent?

Why should the groups of bees,
hovering over the lotus shrub,
not be visible?

You are the star of everyone's eyes.
You are the essence of light
in the beauty of the pearl garland.

Within sandal breeze,
in the great blue sky,
Your thought waves find expression.

You are the jeweller
in the sweetness of mind.

You are the garland of effulgence
in the dark fog.

You spread about the nectar of bliss,
remaining ever absorbed
in song, rhythm and dance.

In this heavy rain,
who advances on the path?

It appears that He recognises me.
From His sweet smile and illusive eyes
He radiates a beautiful effulgence.

Spreading the ebb of joy,
with a beauty that enchants the world,
He moves on.

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

In this rain, full of water,
who is walking on the path?

Seeing this in my mind,

In His sweet smiles,
in His beautifully charming eyes,
He radiates His effulgence.
Indeed, He radiates effulgence.

Through flooding tides of joy and laughter,
charming the world with the summation of beatitude,
He is advancing.
Indeed, He is advancing,
in this rain, full of water.

You are the very life of this great universe.

Whatever was,
whatever now exists,
is all Your gift.

With Your beauty,
the world is filled,
losing itself in rhythm and melody.

Wherever I see,
I find none but You.
In Your beauty
all become beautified.

With Your effulgence
my heart is filled,
losing itself
in Your love smeared song.

Whatever I know or understand,
is so by virtue of Your grace.
Due to Your attributes
all attain their respective characteristics.

You integrate the world,
so why should I remain aside You?

If You are the remover of sorrow,
why should I remain full of it?

I do not want comforts but peace.
I do not want blessings but grace.

I just want a small shelter for my head.
I do not want a garland of pearls nor a closed prison.

You are great,
I am a meagre.

I am the snow,
You are the stern divinity.

By Your touch
my body melts as if water.
A colourful earth
is what I long for.

Come into song and dance,

I constantly float in the flow of Your divine play.

Sometimes, You seem far away,
sometimes, You come very near.

Sometimes, sitting on my eyelids
during meditation (dhya'na),
You appear to me
and illuminate the dark night.

Day and night,
I wish I would find You
in the innermost recesses of my mind.

Sometimes, darkness surrounds me
and makes me restless with tears.

Then, my heart cries out in agony,
and I find myself,
as it were,
far away from You.

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

In the flow of Your play,
I am floating.
Sometimes You go far away,
sometimes You come close.

Sometimes You come and,
for a moment, sit in my meditation.
You come, illuminating darkness.

I wish You were,
day and night,
always in my mind.

Sometimes darkness surrounds me
and I anxiously shed tears.

Then my painful heart dies,
and weeps,
thinking it is far away from You,
thinking it is far away.

Fearing that You may get caught,

from a distance.

You smile continuously in my mind,
even should I long to forget You.

You flow the river of love

Tell me where should I go to,

Come with floral pollen,
with new love,

You are the new gift of old melodies.

Come closer,

and play Your enchanting flute,

Like an ocean of effulgence,
in a smiling breeze,
who are You,
who came?

Arriving, You smeared sandal on the path.
Returning, You spread flowers on it.

I became tired calling You repeatedly.
How many days and nights of mine were lost thereby?
Even after calling You hundreds of times

You did not come.

You came today without my calling You.
Your arrival conquered my mind and life.

I know You created this universe
in order to enjoy Your divine game.
I accept
that through that game,
You love.

Yet, grant my prayer,
do not ignore my sorrows.

This is the only request
that, with tear filled eyes,
I approach You with.

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

In the ocean of effulgence,

who are You who came?

On Your arrival
the path was scented with sandal fragrance.
On Your departure
it was covered with flowers.

Crying for You,
I am left exhausted.
How many days and nights
have I lost?

Even hundreds of calls could not bring You.
But today You came by Your own will,
and conquered my heart and mind.

We know You created this universe
out of Your own play.
We also know that You love plays and fun.

Yet, please care for the feelings and pains
that are in our tears.
Only this humble request do we have.

You crushed my mental flower
and forgot the tears of my eyes.

How many ages have since gone by?
How many agonies and lamentations,
has my heart had to endure?

How many nights have I passed in vain,
sitting on the base of Your altar?

that You kindled with Your own hands,
glows even to this day.

At the time I saw You
in the recess of my mind,
my mental garden was full of fragrance.

Opening my eyes,
I went towards You,
when suddenly Your doors closed.

I know that divinities
never never turn into stone.
Their hearts are softer than those of humans.

Due to what sin of mine did Your doors close?
Shyness and fear
must have laid hidden
within my heart.

Today, all my fear and shyness is removed.
Sit in my mind emanating divine effulgence.

Today, I am free from the vitiation of sin.
Come down to me with heaps of love.

Today, the physical and psychic arenas
have mingled into one.

You brought rains into eyes
and made all float in bliss.
You assured everyone of self realisation.

The soothing breeze of pre-spring,
when charmingly touching my body,
make both my mind and body quiver irresistibly
in the stream of Your ideation.

When my mind desires to leave its home,
in the brilliant and white moonlight,
my gloomy eyes look at the sky,
in search of Your momentary glimpses,
to revere the Supreme Lord.

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

You brought tears of joy and bliss
into everyone's eyes.
You gave hope to the lives of all,
to aspire knowing one's own self.

When the mild and intoxicating breeze blows,
flooding me and caring me away,
my body and mind get a delighting thrill
in an unruly stream of ideas.

When brightly white moonlight radiates,
my mind wants to go out of home.
My thirsty eyes gaze towards the sky
to salute You.

Today, in the cloudy night,
there is no sleep in my eyes.

Why are You silent,
O Lord,
why do not You talk with me?

Ankle bells resound within my mind,
and reverberate my entire heart with melody.

Come in royal adornments
and relinquish my poverty.

Like a bee on its flower,
stay close to me,
O my nearest,
on this sleepless and rainy night.

I remain engrossed in You.
I keep looking at You.

I bloom like a lotus flower
in the morning light.

I sing songs to You
in the tune of the papiya' bird.

In my isolated mental arbour,
there is a seat for You only.

My restless group of bees
keeps circling around You.

I do not think of anything else.
I dance on, shivering with joy.

When meteorites and thunders strike,
When stormy and anger laid cyclones unbalance me,
during that bad time,
I do not shake
but rush ahead, in Your tune and melody.

On that frightening and dark night
You were with me.

You sang a maddening, heart snatching tune.

In that intense darkness,
nobody was near me.

In that sleepless environment,
You smiled sweetly
and removed my entire sorrow.

Outside, there was dense darkness,
within my mind, still deeper darkness prevailed.

You carried in hand a lighted lamp
and poured illumination unto me.

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

In that dark and fearful night
You were there.
You were with me,
You were there.

You sang a song
that snatched away my heart
and left me intoxicated.

In that cimmerian darkness none was near me,
none was with me in that sleepless situation.
You smiled beyond the bonds of pains,
You gave that sweet smile.

Outside, deep darkness prevails,
in my mind, still deeper darkness lingers on.

Holding the golden lamp,
You enlightened me,
You sparked the flame.

You were with me, it was You.

I saw You amidst storms,
therefore, I do not fear.

I found You
amidst meteor lights.

Where in the universe
do not You exist?

The entire world is bound to decay and wear out.
You only will forever remain young.

From within intensely dark nights,
You rise as the morning sun.

After the fall of winter leaves,
You appear to me anew in the leaves of spring.

The state, in which You resided
as the beginning less entity,
in that same state,
You forever remain.

O eternally advancing entity,
to You, there is no comparison in the world.

Be gracious enough and accept them.

Do not push me away with Your feet;
for, my life has merged with these songs.

When, during intense darkness,
it rains heavily,
frightening nature makes us quiver.
Amidst that darkness,
trusting in You,
I carefully create my songs.

In these songs my love is merged.
These songs contain Your memory.
I compose my songs
keeping You in mind.
Only thereby, my mind appeases.

You are the illumination
of my dark home.
You are the illumination
of my dark heart.

You are the self effulgent lamp
that needs no oil in its stand.

The blue sky's scarf
is filled with numerous stars.

The nebula,
made up of sandal paste,
calls me by hand signals.

Amongst all the light
that lies scattered about,
Your effulgence,
shines forth better than the best.

By kindling millions of lamps
from one single lamp
You engrave the mark of effulgence.

In all hearts,
You awaken the stream of ideation.
You destroy what is darker than the darkest,
for, You are the light of love.

Whatever You may please or think,
I know You are not thinking about me.

Numerous days,
mornings and evenings
passed by,
deprived of Your attention.

How much agonies have I tolerated?
Do not You know my pain?

Flowers bloomed in joy,
by the touch of golden light,
but dried up in intense sun.
Do not You understand their misery?

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

You are sitting alone,

Whom are You thinking of?

You may think as You please
but it is sure
You are not thinking of me.

My days passed away neglectfully
many a morning and many an evening went by.
Do not You feel my pain, my distress?

The blossoming flower
which once was glittering in the crimson dawn
is now drying up in the scorching sun.
Do not You feel its pain?

Whom are You thinking of,
in such an absorbed state of mind?

O Lord,

Please look at me,
even should You do not apply soothing ointment.

I know You play the divine game,
so full of pains and joys.

I also know
that Your divine game is unlimited
and that I should never fear it,
now that I have understood.

You are vast and great.
You created the universe
by Your divine game.

The universe rests within Your mind
and, within that world,
I too exist.

O Lord,
this fact I am unable to forget.

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

I can bear more pain, O Lord!
If by Your grace, You would only open Your eyes!
Not even such a consolation do You give.

I know You play.
It is filled with pain and pleasure.
I know Your play is infinite;
that is why I will not be frightened.

You are infinite, You are great.
You have created the world with Your play.
The world remains in Your mind.
I am also in that world;
I cannot forget that, O Lord.

And yet, He won my heart.

By His love and immortal song,
He filled everything

I cannot express that experience

filled everything in form and tune.

This realisation, I cannot express.
I cannot check the emotions of my heart.
His laugh, his charming flute,
brought the beauty of nectar...
awakening, awakening, awakening my heart.

With eyes full of love

Neither do You want anything
nor do You take anything.

You do not speak.

You say You know my identity,

see what You have done,
I am trapped in the web of the great ma'ya'.

Tell me how a human being
can struggle with the high cosmic waves?

I am but a small particle of Yours;
You are the ever new and vast entity.

You continue playing
Your ever new divine game,
hiding behind all.

When the wee bit of Your grace shall fall,
then only, the ocean can be crossed.

Then, all beings will shine
with the impulse of victory.

I do not want wealth or happiness;
I desire only to see Your delighted face.

Ignoring my faults and mistakes,
come close to me with a sweet smile.

You did things

You are above

If You peeped once into the depth of Your heart,
You would find a small heart merged into it.

Do You wish to forget it,
pushing it away?

Thinking of You,
my days pass away.
Remembering You,
I turn restless even today.

If You wish to forget me,
I will tolerate that also.
By Your grace,
this quality is present in me.

In my life, even today six seasons are present,
it smiles with every new load of new flowers.
And yet, my life floats away in tears,
dissolving its entire smile into pains.

In an unbroken and continuous mind,
in ever alert meditation,
You bloomed in the eastern horizon.

On that dawn,
neither sun rays nor the soft breeze were there,
nothing yet existed.
On that dawn,
You alone existed.

There was no heavenly sweetness in the dust,
no beauty of trees,
no creepers,
no fruits or flowers,
no streams to flow on the earth.
All that, later became drawn by Your colour.

With pure eyes,
You decorated this unadorned creation
with golden beautifications.

In intense austerity,
You removed the dense darkness,
and with sun rays and a soft breeze,
You made flowers bloom in a mere swing.

Come into my mental garden,
come in the sandal breeze.
I am awaiting You.

Come in a moonlit night
come with wholehearted love.
I have threaded a garland for You.

You gave me so much!
You loved me,
and yet, You still did not come close enough
for me to hold You.

This time please come closer,
sit in the recess of my heart.
I have arranged my altar with sweetness.

What type of love is this
where You smile from a distance only?
When will You fulfil all my aspirations?

You filled the core of my heart
with the melody of Your flute.

For You, I keep my lamp lighted.

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

Come on a gentle breeze
into the garden of my mind.
I sit and wait for You.

On a moonlit night,
with a heart full of love,
please sit with me.
I have made a garland for You.

You have given me so much,
You have loved me so much;
even so, You have not let me catch You,
You have not come any closer.
Now come closer,
sit in my heart of hearts,
where, in sweetness,
an altar I have made for You.

What kind of love is this
only smiling from afar?
You embody all my hopes.
The melody of Your flute
fills every secret chamber of my heart.
I sit and light a lamp for You.

I lost the sweetness of my tune.
With its memory only,
I today survive.

Attuning my viin'a' to the musical octave,
I await You.

The tunes that were active in my throat
have gone very far away.

In my dance and song,
I today realise the traces of that intoxication.

In the rhythm You awakened in the sky,
in the flood of its vibrations,
in that same rhythm and vibration,
in their swing, I too am swinging.

Though You exist nearest to me,
You remain far.

I searched You wastefully
in places of pilgrimage,
on roads and ways.

I performed lamp reverences
with conch blows.
I raised sounds with drumbeats.

I carried out all this
but found that You did not come into my heart.

Lighting fire,
I performed oblations of fire.
I kindled my lamp with five flames.

I bathed You
by pouring water into special utensil.
I prayed to You with tearful eyes.

But I observed
that by performing all this,
You went still further away.

You raised waves
in the ocean of effulgence
and brought about heavenly nectar.

Wiping off the darkness of fog,
You brought down the light of dawn.

Into mankind's burning heart
that was caused
due to flames of three kinds:
physical, psychic and spiritual,
You engendered a thirst for the infinite.

Into the dumb and unconscious human mind,
You spoke a message of liberation.

Making all move together in harmony,
forgetting all differences,
You drew a new image
at the time of enlightening the mind.

This world is full of rhythms.
The flow of light dances on in rhythms.

You are resonant
in total immersion.
You are frenzied
in the bliss of this self created universe.

The rough and dry desert,
the green tree,
the murmuring of the forest
and the goodness of mind,
the flag of love,
and the rays of the moon,
all lose themselves in Your rhythm.

The sweet memories of bygone days,
the pathetic song,
sung on a sorrowful night,
patience and pardon,
all are held by this earth.

The universal love of the yogi
renouncing the world totally,
and those who left their homes
in the wave of Your rhythm,
all are full of Your sweet rhythm.

Everything You gave me,
was for my own good.
From it, I took the maximum possible.

The spark of light that floats in the cosmos,
rushes forth,
dancing in overwhelming excitement.

You always consider welfare first.

that aims at welfare,

Round the clock,

I never regard pain as troubling pain.
From the early hours throughout all moments,
I witness Your sweet smile with eyes wide open.

You are my companion from time immemorial.
Most beloved one of all
and sympathiser during all pains,
knowingly or unknowingly
everyone longs for You each and every moment.
This desire merges adrift into infinity.

I am absorbed in Your name twenty-four hours a day,
thus, I don't care about hardship or pain.
Every moment from the first hour of the dawn
I open my eyes and see Your sweet smile.

O unknown traveller! You are my eternal friend.
You are the dearest of all.
You feel our pain.
Knowingly or unknowingly,
everyone wants You every moment;
that longing moves us toward the infinite.

You came as essence flowers.

In the crimson illumination
of an enchanting morning,
You bloomed like a lotus flower.

How many ages passed by in silent austerity?
How many dark nights vanished away rapidly?

You came in the morning,
wading through the water of love,
to fulfil my aspirations and love.
You gave more than I desired.

All want You,
but why cannot they attain You?
Their days pass by, alas,
crying in disappointment.

Come into the fold of all.
Come into my heart in overwhelming waves.

O beloved one,
why does love spread forth from all Your movements?
Why do You keep playing
Your game of hide and seek?

moving forward,

In the sun cart of my mind
You move ahead
in Your own peculiar way.
Sitting by that path,
I calculate Your arrival day.

On a moonlit dreamy night
immersed in floral fragrance,
You ride the golden cart
to take all with You.
It is there that I recognised You.

I am waiting for You
in expectation of Your arrival.
I await You by that path
with a lamp in hand.
In front of Your effulgence,
the light of that lamp fades.
It was then that I knew You as essence of all.

swings below Your feet.
It moves from beyond the world of form
to that of formlessness.

The tinkling of Your ankle bells
brings rhythm to my heart.
It arouses from the unknown
and floats off unto the unknown.

O unseen Lord,
Your flow can be comprehended
by neither science nor philosophy.

In Your contemplation,
all lose themselves and become expressionless.
They lose themselves in an effort to attain You.

O vastest entity,
You are beyond
attributes, bondages and thoughts.

Thinking about You,
the lives of all go by,
in meditation, listening and contemplation.
O Lord,
You exist in the world only.

Holding the banner of humanism,
I move forward on Your path,
on this gold radiating morning,
holding the weapon of truth and justice.

The lamp of hope glows in the consciousness
that shall create a new world.
By virtue of Your grace and kindness,
I shall not fear resistance.

I admit that some delay occurred;
some time was wasted idling uselessly.

Today,
carrying on my head,
a wee bit of Your grace,
I shall move forward without looking back.

In the imagination of new life
lies my dream and objective,
clearly embedded in my eyes.

On the upward movement unto light,
I shall not yield to any obstacle.
However strong storms shall become;
I won't be subdued in their thrashing.

The responsibility that I have taken on,
I consider the vow of my life.
Until I attain my objective,
I shall not stop on the path under any circumstance.

I shall proceed forward on the path of morality,
ignoring thunders and meteors.
I shall not fear
frowning and sinful powers.

Human society is indivisible.
Today, I sing its glory.
O brothers and sisters,
move ahead, casting aside all thorns.

All human beings are my brothers,
all are my life.
If all live together in harmony,
God stays,
and the soil of this earth
will be covered with pure gold.

We have remained tied up in dogmas
and have kept mankind away.
Intoxicated in falsehood,
we did not read the script of time.

Today, I rectified my error.
I shall henceforth bring absolute peace to all.

If You had to go and leave me,
why did You come to my hut in the first place?

Why did You allow
the flower bud of my hope
to whither away untimely?

Alas, had they heard of Your expected arrival,
the shefali flower would have remained awake,
the cuckoo would have sung in the spring,
the moon would have spread its light.

By ignoring all,
You broke the strings of my lyre.
Alas, You went away.
Autumn and winter continue to weep.

The dew wet niip tree fades,
the white and flowering tall grass turns black.
You went away,
trampling underfoot all the sweetness of my mind.

When You are with me,

Even if typhoons, storms,

approach me,
remembering You,

I find Your effulgence,

By Your arrival,
atoms became restless
and the earth

The crimson light of dawn says:
"Pour more and more sweetness into flowers."

Today, in solitude
and amidst chirping,
who is that singing in joy?

Heavenly nectar flows on
in hundreds of ways.

Barrier breaking love
spreads out effulgence
and rushes on restlessly.

Today, on this winter morning,
the cuckoo sings a timeless song.
The forest deers
look at the bamboo stalks.

Today, the song of immortality,
intoxicated with beauty and love,
has brought about the dissemination of melody.

O Lord,
come to my home
come in the invitation of light.

I call You with a simple mind.
I keep the light of Your lamp
burning secretly.
Nobody else knows it.

Sky, stars, and the ocean full of water,
indeed the whole world,
know of the love
between the devotee and the Lord.

The moonlight smilingly announces:
"O Lord, I love You."

Flower pollen,
atoms,
particles of mind...
all display affection for You.
And the song of their hearts
rushes into Your song.

This love story
has become known to the world,
and yet, no one
will ever come to know it.

in my mind,
with new adornments.

My mind had been engaged
in numerous works
and idling of various kinds.

The path on which I was moving
was serpentine like,
and, day and night,
covered with darkness.

By the pull of Your love,
I looked at You,
and the wheels of my cart turned.
My dry river became flooded.

Beyond light, there was darkness
and even more:
all around me pitch darkness prevailed.

You came in light,
in more and more light,
and, in whichever direction I looked,
only pleasant feelings overcame me.

You won my mind and filled my life.
With Your love,
my heart became filled.

Into the crimson light that attaches gold,
You poured the sweetness of nectar.
You resonated in gardens and forests,
You provided happiness to all minds.

You are resonant in dense dreams.
You play Your flute in forests
and dance dreamlike,
with rhythmic steps,
in dense bamboo groves.

The bright radiation that flows from Your body
overflows with great effulgence.
Spreading about sweet greatness,
You love with an enchanting smile.

Why did You not come that night?

The moonlight of the sky too
was waiting for You.

You filled the firmament of my heart
with numerous tunes and melodies.

Suddenly, with a strong wind,
You extinguished
the lamp of my hope
and brought sleep to my eyes.

The moonlight faded away

My mind became filled
with the concentrated darkness of disappointment.

But I still love You.
Filled with hope and confidence
I shall attain You.

To which unknown destination
did You smilingly leave,
forgetting me seemingly unconcerned.

How many days, months,
years and ages
passed by?
When thinking of it,
tears flow from my eyes non stop.

When alone in this forest of ma'ya',
the songs of those bygone days,
come floating about.

Those sweet memories
and unforgettable songs

I loved and surrendered my heart,
yet even so, my friend did not come.

Selecting flowers from my garden,
I threaded a garland
but could not offer it to Him.

I kept the altar of my mind well decorated.
I spread its seat
with love and attachment.
I kindled the lamp
with the flame of my heart.
But I could not make
the a'ratii (with lamp) to welcome Him.

With sandal paste,
the dirt of agony was removed,
dewed with the water of raganuga' devotion.
I utterly lost myself in ra'ga'tmika' devotion,
letting go all my inner pains.

In this darkness,
keep my lamp ever lighted.

That on the journey of this path
my eyes do not remain closed,
and, should I ever lose my path,
I not stop searching.

Like the sandal that spreads in the moonlight,
Your voice eternally resonates in the sky.

I do not want a soft,
milky white bed,
nor colourful, enchanting decorations.
Neither do I want the shame of defeat.

I want only light,
more and more light.
The light that will take me
beyond all limitations.

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

Shatter my dullness with a clap of thunder!
In this darkness,
keep the lamp of my hopes eternally illuminated...
so that I not close my eyes on this path of light,
or become bewildered searching for it.

As sandalwood is mingled with moonlight,
so floats Your sweet sound joyously through the sky.

I do not want a bed as fine and white as milk.
I do not want a perfumed and colourful dress.
I do not want the shame of defeat.
I want only light, more light, more light
that light which will take me beyond all bondage.

You threaded handful after handful
of love filled octave.

On an unknown lyre with unknown strings,
You vibrated and resonated the earth.

Shaking off the agony of isolation,
You made the psychic arena fragrant.

Human beings understood You as their God
and started loving You
as their own, closest and most beloved.

In a strong sentiment of love
lay all they had,

Everyone wants You close beside.

Though You exist,
pervading in each atom and particle,
alas, we do not understand this fact through knowledge.

We search You in the far sky
and in the soothing breeze,
in the ocean of galaxies,
and in the fragrance of flowers.

But we never search You
in our own core
where You reside
as grand adoration,
as intense beauty and flow.
Hence,
we keep on crying in disappointment.

Though You are surrounded
by name and form,
You exist beyond it too.

You remain ever engrossed
in Your divine game (liila'),
and yet, You reside in the eternal abode.

You exist in forms and in a formless state,
in a non attributional stage as nirgun'a',
beyond all attributes.
In Your ideation all become enchanted
to the degree of coma.

The lamp in the darkness

He is spread outside,
He is filled inside,
He lies hidden both inside and outside.

O who is He who went away without announcement?
Explain His identity.
Why did He leave without saying a word

He went away winning my heart

He will again return.
He will smile anew with a lighted lamp.
In this mutually known world,

You love
and know how to love.

Why do You keep performing
such an unkind divine play?

I know You are my Lord.

Why do You make my eyes
shed tears continuously?

The sun rising in the eastern horizon
sends its colours to all directions.
Why do You not fill
my dark night with that light?

When the moonlight shines,
the blue sky becomes agitated in Your ideation.
Illuminating the firmament of my mind,
why do You not keep
the lamp of love lit in my heart?

However much I long for You,
I keep wondering what a game of Yours this is.

My movement never comes to an end.
In the flow of the stream,
I continue floating,
eventually reaching the sea.
And yet, there too, I do not find an end.
Wave after wave overwhelms me.

What an endless game of Yours is this?
Like straw in a storm,
I float from place to place.
And at the end,
I am overcome with fatigue.

This agony of mine please excuse.
Understand my silent pain.

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

My wanting You,
does not pause.
What a game of Yours is this?
My movement never comes to an end.

In the flow of the stream I continue floating,
and at the end, I attain the sea.
And yet, there also I do not find the end,
waves after waves are coming before me.

What an endless game of Yours is this?
Like a straw caught in a storm
I go on floating from place to place.
And in the end, even fatigue comes.

This agony of mine please excuse,
understand my silent pain.

Why do You not allow Yourself to be caught
by those who love You?

Why, on the pretext of being Your divine game,
do You play hide and seek with them
each and every moment?

You do not pay attention
to those who call You with all their heart.
In the agony and pain
caused by the play of Your liila',
they shed tears.

I know Your liila' is endless.
You do not want to hurt anyone.
There is not a single trace of unkindness in it.
Your liila' is confined to the mind only.

The yellow leaves are dropping off.
The silent wind floats adrift,
without stirring the bamboo grove.

Alas, the moon shining in the sky is set
and nobody bothers.

The clouds
on which peacocks used to dance,
have also vanished away.

The undated guest sang a song,
the memory of which fades far away towards heaven.

And yet, Your smile awakened tinkling
in the strings of my inner viin'a'.

How gracious have You been towards me
that You came, crossing the infinite ocean.

You honoured the meager living being,
by forgetting Your highest throne.

Yet, so many ages have since passed by,
many a star from the sky was lost.
Remembering Your pink feet,
I move on, crossing all obstructions.

Storms come to extinguish my lamp,
meteors try to burn my flowers,
and the cruel teeth of time
want to eat away all my sweetness.

(usually sung on the morning birthday celebration of BA'BA')

You came on a full moon day.
On that day,
the moon was playing hide and seek
with the clouds.

The far off galaxy in the sky appeared
as if drawn near by sandal paste.

It seemed as if a new swan had lost its path.
Many a moonlit night passed by.
The seat of my heart remained vacant.

Hearing the sound of Your footsteps,
my heart became filled with nectar,
and that same swan came again, recognising the path.

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

When You came the moon was full.
It was playing hide and seek
with the shifting clouds.

The galaxies in the distant skies
appeared as Your artwork.
The newly arrived swan
lost its way.

You came and went away so many times,
but still my heart was empty.

Upon hearing Your footsteps
my heart became filled with joy.
The swan then found again its way.

came into our fold,

with beauty and colour.

There is nothing outside You,
You have kept everything within Your mind.
You are the eternal creator,
the world remains illuminated by Your effulgence.
You continue playing Your divine game in each particle,
O eternal, beautiful embodiment of consciousness.

You love,
intoxicate the mind
and show Your absolute and true form.
In each leaf Your mark lies engraved.
The flowers sing Your glory.
You appear
in the thunder of clouds,
in the twang of bows
and in the tinkling of viin'a's (lyres).

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

It was only by Your grace that You let Yourself be attained.
You filled the world with forms and songs.

Nothing is outside of You.
You kept everything within Your mind.

You are the doer of everything that happens.
Your light illuminates the world.
Your cosmic play is expressed in every atom.
You are the embodiment of eternal beauty.
You have loved us,
You have inspired our minds,
You have shown Your real form.

Whatever we see on every leaf, is Your writing.
Your artistry graces every flower.
In the thunderous clouds,
in the drawing of the bow,
in the sound of the viina,
You have expressed Yourself.

Come to my home
and sit on the seat of my heart.

I created a solitary altar
and decorated it with flowers of love.
In my long comings and goings,
I have had neither rest nor leisure.

In expectation of You,
in which distant past
did the journey of my mind start?

On my forward movement, each moment,
tiredness overcomes my body and mind.

Kindly pardon my fatigue,
by bestowing on me
a wee bit of Your grace.

My ever closest companion
was near me in dream.
He went away, saying He would return,
but He did not yet come back.

That distant friend had taken away only,
without giving anything in return.
Whatever honey was inside my mind,
He took it away all.

The lamp of hope that He gave me,
was it but a mere delusion?

Remembering that,
my heart gets agitated even today.
Who knows whether He loves me or not,
whether He comes to me or not?

I may stop loving Him,
I may stop talking to Him,
but I am unable to forget Him.
He was in dream,
and went away with the assurance of again returning.
But that effulgent entity did not come.

In a gentle sweet breeze,
on a crimson coloured morning,
what melody came about floating?

Marked dark on radiating gold,
with the tinkling of ankle bells,
what a delusive game has this been?

My once lethargic life
now rushes on in hundreds of directions
and my rhythmic song is filled with ideation.

On the dust of the earth,
heavenly nectar flows,
calling me from even far off distances.

By that call,
the beautiful ladies in the house
open the door
and, witnessing the external beauty,
lose themselves.

Even the calm forest
resonates with chirping birds,
that sing Your name and song.

O dear companion,
come to my village
that lies beyond the suvarn'areka' river.

When walking along the sea side
through sand heaps,
the sun rises,
colouring the sky and the sea.
It awakens colours within my mind
and provides infinite joy.

In the groves of almonds and cashew nuts,
colourful birds ever dance.
The rivereagle flies far off.
The boatman releases his boat
into the river current.
He rushes towards the sea,
forgetting all his worries.

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

O my dearest friend,
come to my village
on the banks of the Suvarnarekha river,
come to that river.

The path leads across the dunes by the sea.
When the sun rises there,
the sky and the sea bloom with colour.
That colour awakens my mind
and gives me infinite pleasure.

In the cashew nut orchard
the coloured birds always dance.
The hawks fly over to unknown places.

The sailor starts his journey
Hearing the far song of the rivers current.
He moves towards the sea
without any other thought in mind.

You came in the sandal breeze,
spreading beauty.
You smiled in the mango buds
and responded with the red hue
of the kinshuk flower.

You poured warmth
into the flow that,
due to the formation of ice,
had become stagnant.
You filled its whole body.

Into the decorations
of tender new leaves and soft buds,
You poured uncalled heavenly nectar
as well as a breeze,
fragrant with honey from the bees
in the kanakcampa' and kacana'r flower garden.

The vibrant firmament of mind
now is mixed with sweetness
and heavenly enchanting colours.

Day and night tears flow from my eyes,
O Lord,
for You, only for You.

I never loved You
but You loved me so much, why my Lord?

Filled with the morning hue,
my mind remains much astonished.

In the intense summer heat,
blessing me,
You provide soothing sandalwood paste ointment
on my burns.

I survive for You only,
and therefore
I constantly look at You.

When the dark clouds
perform their dance of destruction,
quiver arises in the rhythm of life.
In it also, I hear Your voice
and my heart resonates anew.

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

Day and night tears are flowing from my eyes,
O Lord, for You, only for You.
I have never loved You, yet You loved me so much,
why my Lord?

Filled with the morning hue,
my mind remains astonished.
This soothing sandalwood paste ointment on my burns
from the intense summer heat

is Your blessing.

I am surviving for You only,
that is why I look at You time and again.

When the dark clouds perform dances of destruction,
quiver arises in the rhythm of life.
In it also I hear Your voice,
in the resonance of my heart.

Exhausting the entire sweetness of my heart,
I offer myself to You.

Whatever was good,
I offered.
All agonies,
I sustained on my head.

Come once smiling sweetly,
holding Your enchanting flute on Your lips.

The essence of all life is Your grace.
Your overwhelming and unlimited glory
remains ever filled with love.

I cannot understand,
nobody knows,
why Your melody keeps playing in hearts.
Why there is a rush unto Your ideation
with all earnestness held in eyes.

All the essence of my nectar,
I pour out unto You.

You came as embodiment of song
on an pitch dark night.

The sky was full of stars,
sweetly smiling,
full of drops.

I loved that song
and floated into its stream.

Intoxicating heaven and hell,
I attained You,
O embodiment of consciousness.

I attained You
in the life that pertained to the song.
With the love and colour of its rhythm
I became coloured,
O embodiment of the world.

I searched You all over again and again.
Where are You and how far away?

Over the smiling blue lotus bud,
the bee gently hovers.
The sandal breeze brings resonance
when it touches the tender leaves.

Hot sparks of illumination
appear in the heavens.

I want Your sweetness
to fill my heart,
in hundreds of flows,
hundreds of times.

With this desire I have been moving on for ages,
carrying the lamp of hope,
without losing patience.

You are the ancient and the new.
Bestow Your grace upon me for a moment.

how is it possible for me to forget You?

All my hopes and love

In my garden,

In its pleasing moonlight

O formless Lord,
I attained You in the forms
of Your divine game.

You appeared in my mind
with enchanting adornments.
Your game oscillates with light and shade,
both outside and inside,
in numerous colours.

Amidst this festival of colours,
why do You lie alone this morning?
Come to my home,
I have kept its door open.

Your path is rainbow coloured,
Your speeding cart keeps advancing.
There is no chance for anyone
to stay back, cry or slow down.

You across all places within Your mind.
You entered into my mind
with sweetness absorbed beauty.

In Your name and song,
my mind loses itself.

No more anxieties nor worries persist.
I move along Your path,
with the crimson glow of the horizon at dawn.

You overtook my mind
and filled it with mysteriously sweet melodies.

My restless eyes became transfixed,
and merged in Your form.

I have left my earthly home
and became a speechless wanderer.
My home now spreads across the universe.

Today, the boat of my life has set sail
on the waves Your song.
It floats on
in the shimmering light
of this full moon night.

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

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

My mind no longer recognises obstacles.
I am constantly treading Your path.
In the red crimson dawn,
You have taken Your seat in my mind,
filling it with an unknown melody.

My restless eyes are fixed on You,
intoxicated with Your beauteous, colourful form.
My mind, freed from all attachment,
remains speechless,
and spreads forth in all directions.

Today, I row my boat
in the flood tide of love songs,
on a moonlit night,
filled with of nectar,
shedding its radiance,
and enchanting my mind.

and arouse pain in my mind.
Memories of those bygone days
come secretly.

To remain oblivious is not forgetting.

the friend who entered my heart,
the moon that smiled...
all linger on in the recess of memory.

You came to my home,
untimely,
as if forgetting Your path.

What illusion did You create,
weaving the web of ma'ya'
with golden threads!

Today, the song of infinity
floats in honey.
It flows into the ears of limitations,
calling forth their nectar.

Why did You engender
a mutual acquaintance
between the limited and the unlimited?

Today, the fragrance of melody
rushes through an unnamed craft.
Its impulse, since ages unknown,
remains ever intoxicated.

This mutual knowing and hearing,
taking and giving of hearts
moves along the banks of the ocean of forms.

You bring tides of hope into my mind,

During my pitch dark night,
selflessly and with silent hands,
You handed over to me the lamp of hope,
that I may smilingly move ahead on the path.

I did not forget that narrative memory,
the song sung on my internal viin'a'.
Your love extends to both individuals and the collective,
and sings an ever new melody.

With golden mornings,
and illuminated nights,
on the dreamland banks of the river Ajay,
my days pass by.

This river came dancing down
from the mountain through the planes.

After descending from the Chakai hill,
it dances in the tune of HinuglaKunur
and flows on towards the eastern part of the country.

Then, passing through the red soil of Virbhum,
and the greeneries of the villages of Vardhaman,
it touches the cool heart of the border of Nadia.

The land, which preserves the dust
of the footsteps of Kaviguru,
Ravindra Nath Tagore,
is filled with the fragrance
of Nagakeshar in sweet beauty.

O river,
I love you.
You are the light of my hope.
Your effulgence lies reflected on golden sands.

Your wish,

Into my mental pollen,

O Lord,

Our mutual acquaintance
took place only one or two ages ago.
Remaining oblivious
and forgetting forever
are not the same thing.

In the eastern sky,
in the crimson hue
when, with a smile, You appear,
Your effulgence awakens unbound love
in the core of my heart.

With attentive ears and anxious eyes
I become absorbed in Your ideation.
In that absorbed state,
I exchange my heart with Yours.

When my mind stuff is restless,
it feels both pain and pleasure,
and my calm and illuminated heart
sings of Your victory.

How much touch of hands did it get?

In how many ways did it speak?

O Lord,
come into my heart,
removing the darkness of inertia.

On Your effulgent path,
I am alone.
I do not want to remain
covered with darkness.

Come on Your own
and, with Your own hands,
remove my darkness.

Your effulgent cart moves forward,
taking those under the influence of ma'ya' above it.

Along with others,
take me too,
bathing in the flow of effulgence,
and wiping out the soot of inertia.

The lamp of my mind became extinguished,
now come with a kindling stick.

The flower of my heart withered away,
now bloom a new flower.

The strings of the viin'a' of my heart are broken,
I wish to place new ones on it.

The diamond pendant of my neckless is lost,
I am unable to search for a new one.

Carrying a picture of disappointment,
I stand in front of You.

The stream of my feelings flows on,
sometimes down, sometimes up.

This true story and history of my core,
You know well.
I cannot forget You at any time.

You kindle Your light high always,
and extend Your feet at both places.

You came,
and, without speaking a word,
won my heart.

You took away my all.
I searched You in the external world.
You kept my inner world illuminated.

As is the heavenly beauty of the dust of Your feet,
the whole cosmos is but the product of Your thought.

You smile, love and grant everything,
even unknowingly.

You are the vast entity
that remains firmly established in the world,
as is the pure sweetness
that lies absorbed in a song of love.

You know and understand,
and nonetheless,
without consideration of merits and demerits,
You shower Your grace upon me.

Tell me, tell me,
why did You come,
undergoing so much pain?

The dark night was filled with clouds,
and, on the top of that,
the path was slippery.

Your footmark is carefully preserved
on the path
on which You secretly came.

The dust of that path
dances with quiver even today,
in remembrance of Your arrival.

What for did You come,
bestowing Your grace upon me?

Days pass by, months pass by,
everything passes by.
Those who come,
again leave on muddy earth.

Only their memory remains in the jewel of mind,
and that gem shines around You.
That is why, I hold You,
extending both my arms.

My mind drifts off into the far sky,
where Your image appears.

It surrounds me
in the blue colour of the sky,
in forest paths and in waterfalls,
even in the mirage of forests,
in the hot sand,
in the soothing sandal breeze
and in soft hairs.

Amidst it all,
I search You. Kindly come close,
come still closer.

When the first companion came into my life,
that day I have forgotten today.

At that time the garden was full of flowers
and the moon was smiling without shyness.

The sandal breeze came
and whispered into my ears that the friend
who had come knows deception.

Today He would love
and tomorrow that Lord of my mind
would not come,
smiling from a distance only.

On that removed dust of the feet,
the sweetness of mind spreads day and night.
That stealer of mind
in the mental mirror
I search ignoring shyness.

How was darkness replaced by illumination?

Who gave a jerk

to the air, to the twinkling stars,
present both inside and outside,

close and closer with love.

Waiting for You,

You are my only friend in this lost life of mine.
But You knowingly ignore this fact.

You flow the river of love in a reverse direction,
You smile from a distance only

Pardon my fault

Why did the bee come buzzing
into my floral garden?
Tell me.

What did it declare
before taking away all honey,
uncovering the petals?
Why, alas?
What a torture!

Why was there honey in the flower?
Where from did it come?
Why did it call the bee?
Why did it think so?

At the arrival of the bee,
the flower smiles with the desire of exchange.
All honey gathers together
and becomes available at one place.
Thus is the woven web
of the singular entity's divine game (liila').

I kept awake for You.
There is no sleep in my closed eyes.

I have only one desire.
Why do not You fulfil it?
Why be so miser with me?

The whole earth, sky and air
sing the song of Your glory.

The pollen in flowers
are full of fragrance.
Each particle radiates Your light,
even inside the core of my mind.

The sweet smile of the stars
and the light of the moon,
with lively rays,
appear all good.

In this environment,
pour more nectar in abundance,
with Your feet,
with the touch of a sandal fragrance absorbed breeze.

This love of Yours merges
one into the infinite.

Appearing in the mirror of time,
it does not come into our fold.

From the world of forms to a formless world,
it passes through rhythms, songs and melody.

From which world it came
and where to it floats away remains unknown.

O companion from time immemorial,
continue providing sweetness to my life.

Without expecting anything in return,
You smile Your heavenly smile inside my heart.

Whatever events in the three worlds
have happened,
are happening at this very moment now
or are yet to take place,
the vibration of it all keeps glowing in Your mind.

You appeared majestically in my mind.

What kind of love is this?

My false vanity was powdered down
and blown into dust,
within the fraction of a moment.

In the external world,
You do not respond.
Yet, You stir the life sitting within it.

In Your ideation my ego dissolves.

You came at last
and became caught with an enchanting smile.

The golden creeper of my aspiration swung vividly,
shaken by the restless wind.

On it, flowers bloomed by Your touch,
after long awaiting.

You removed the dark fog
and made me good within moments.

My heart was deep black,
but became intensely bright,
shining with golden effulgence.

By soft touch,
You made me Your own,

You absorbed all in sweetness

went ever so far away?

on what confidence,
did You decide to become drenched,

who pulled You unto a world of sweetness?

You remained seated on Your throne,
in a far distant heavenly abode,
ignoring and neglecting me.

How is it possible for You
to perform this divine game

Do You think that even without Your reply,

Within myself,
I shall speak into Your ears

illuminating everything by an unknown melody.

The one who I always desired
in my mental mirror,
came into my fold,
and enchanted my mind.

Today,
all the rhythms and tunes inside me,
all the mornings, so full of hopes
and all the sweet nights,
in one resonance,
at the call of one, with a singular aim
play on my ekta'ra' (monochord).

All the forest are filled with sandalwood fragrance,
and the all flowers carry fragrance.

Pouring nectar into the dance and rhythm
of the singular entity,
they keep singing His ever living song.

You filled this dejected home of mine
with rays of hope.

Whatever lay covered with darkness
became engulfed in light.
Why then do You keep me bound
within limitedness?

The pollen that was covered with petals
became absorbed in sweet love.
So what imperfection is there left
in this exchange of consciousness?

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

You came in my heart and filled it with hope,
You filled with hope my house of hopelessness.

That which was covered by darkness,
became mixed with effulgence.
Why then have You bound me
in the periphery of the finite?

That which was covered by petals,
that honey was full of love.
Then what else still remains
in this exchange of consciousness?

If by chance,
during one of Your leisure periods,
You think of me,
forget that anytime I loved You.

For You,
expecting Your arrival on the golden chariot,
I had tied my chignon
and threaded a garland.

But, today,
like a serpent devoid of its jewel,
I cry in pain.

You forgot that on several bright mornings,
I had picked up flowers to decorate You.
Now, all my sweetness became lost beyond limits,
it vanished into the sky.

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

If in an idle moment You ever thought of me,
please forget that memory.
Please, forget that I ever loved You.

It was for You that I braided my hair and wove a garland
But today like a serpent devoid of its jewel,

I am burning in agony.

I have descended from that golden chariot.
Please forget on how many red dawns
I picked flowers to adorn You.
Today all the sweetness is lost
and fled beyond the void.

Explanation: A poetic / mythological allegory for the soul.
A serpent with a jewel in its crown symbolises the unit mind and its soul.
The golden chariot symbolises the hiranmaya kos'a, the subtlest layer of mind.

Bathing in the fountain of effulgence,
You came.

I was smeared with the dirt of degradation;
You lifted me up, holding my hand.

I forget You during happy days
and call You when in trouble.

I take the pleasures of achievement
and give You the heaps of my sins.

I never looked at Your feet
but You still took care of me.

I have always thought of myself first,
and never thought of You.

I kept flowing in the stream of selfishness,
never performing proper actions.

I only talked and talked
without implementing policies in my own life.

And yet, You brought me onto the proper path.

For Him,
my heart has become extremely restless today.
I sit by the path He would arrive on, waiting.

Looking at the line of lightning
amidst the darkness of clouds,
when the peacock spreads its tail,
then, in expectation of the immediate arrival
of my dear companion,
my mind and heart shiver with thrill.

Many a winter went away through the door,
many a spring silently moved away.
many a garland of hope dried and withered.

After such along time
He finally came, listening to my call.

Today,
the supreme embodiment of the cosmic sound,
in intense rhythm and dance,
fills the moist breeze
with the fragrance of the ketakii flower.

In the influence of rhythm,
the fragrant pollen comes floating about,
creating a delusive dream.

Originating from an unknown inspiration,
the peacock of mind dances in the river of joy.

All are impulsively dancing in rhythm,
dancing to the tune of emotions.

Today,
the earth became frenzied by the northern wind,
bound by an unknown attraction of love.

Who is that stealer of mind
who secretly trapped me in the web of delusion?

This universal divine game of Yours,
pulls the distant ones close.

With the sweet juice of love,
it soaks and absorbs all.
Knowingly or unknowingly,
accepting or without accepting it,
a permanent abode is secretly kept for You
in the recess of each heart.

You are the beloved of all.
You are everyone's own.
Even the distant ones
are close to You in mind.

When thinking of You,
the mind loses itself and merges in You.

I move on Your path,
there is no other but You.

Your effulgence radiates
amidst the moonlight and the stars.

In the recess of my heart,
day and night,
I beg for Your love.

All are within Your mind,
crying in pain
and dancing in pleasure.

In the impulse of Your energy,
I keep singing Your song.

and the fragrance of the heavenly flower pa'rija't.

If You had come into my heart,
I would have been filled with joy.

Why are You not to be attained?
You love but do not talk.

On all twelve months,
at all times,
You remain engaged
in creation, existence and destruction.

You spread the fire of melody
into each forest
and fill love into each mind.

O eternal traveler,
You are the warm breath of my respiration.

meditating on You,

You came in the eastern sky,
expressing Yourself as a crimson colour,
expressing Your love and grace.

The flower buds opened their mouth
and the sorrow of dark nights passed away.
You poured out the universal love of light.
Those sleeping in their nest
attained the touch of life.

With them,
You became engrossed in bliss.
You filled the world with light,
You filled it with endlessly more light.

In those lying disgracefully in the mud of the road,
You awakened a new consciousness.

Come slowly,
come with a soft smile,
come lovingly through the sandal breeze.

You are the honey of flowers,
You are the distant moon.
You are the radiation of the enchanting sweet moonlight.
You express Yourself as flowers and fruits and as roots,
You are both banks of the reverse flowing river.

You are everyone's closest,
dearest, most respected,
and most revered.

All await Your arrival.
You fulfil all expectations in the light of love.

With whose light

in my mental niipa grove shine?

A sandal fragrant breeze
blows in my mind.
To this fragrant breeze,
the ketakii flower says:

"Keep awake today,
keep Your eyes open,
the unknown traveler longs to be attained".

The spring season has come.
Why then are the red pala'sh flowers
glowing in the forest?

Now, at the end of rains,
all hopes find fulfilment
and all fogs are removed.

where have You been wandering about?

The one You have been seeking
is indeed Your own.

In the recess of Your mind
He has secretly remained awake
day and night.

Carrying His lamp in hand,
why roam around every moment?

How long will You keep wandering
from one path onto another?

You do not have much time.
You are to attain Him in the recess of Your mind.
So make a firm vow now.

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

Who are You looking for foolish mind?
Whoever it is You seek,
He is seated in Your own heart.

He hides day and night in a corner of Your mind.
It is His guiding light by which You see.

Time is short, don't waste it searching in vain.
If You seek with firm determination,
You will find Him there with You.

On each flower and arena,
whose beauty is it
that rushes towards heaven?

Untasted and indescribable nectar
from infinity flows on.

That beauty rushes on
from the distant stream,
and from the bondage of time
to a realm far beyond time.

Leaving the world of forms,
it merges into formlessness.

In individual life there are rises and falls,
and many a concentration on the path of friends.

Let that beauty be eternal.
Let it cross hundreds of obstructions.

Over non existing entities,
we shed many a tear.

My earnestness increases day by day
and the creeper of love becomes ever livelier.

The sky and ocean join together

Those who came
onto the path of light
will never be lost to darkness.

Those smiling sweetly
do not cry.

You exist,
I am also present.
I have forgotten everything else.

Those who come onto the path of hope,
are not influenced by pessimism.

You came smiling
on the chariot of seven colours.

Attaining You, all become blessed
and the earth achieves fulfilment.

On a dark night,
along an upward path,
who came
with a light in hand?

I cannot see Your beauty
nor recognise Your voice.

I nonetheless understand
that You are ever accompanying me.

You join broken hearts,
You bring flood into dry fields,
and You fulfil exhausted hope
by the sweet look of Your eyes.

Colour my life
with the colour of Your ever new ideation.

Engage me in Your work,
and fulfil my hopes.

You are unprecedented and ever new.

Smiling sweetly,
coming close,
You chant an ever new tune.

Today, You came onto this earth
and made flowers bloom.
Merging the forest flower
and my mental flower into one,
I have filled my floral tray to offer You.

What a unique and divine game of Yours this is.
My mental sky and the cosmic sky
became one and glow as one.

The breeze remains filled with fragrance.
The ocean is intoxicated with rhythm.

I know that always
in all struggles
You are victorious.

In the scorching heat of the sun
or in the cool shade of the tree,
You remain with me always.

You control with strong hands.
Your power never diminishes.

After freezing coldness and snow,
the flash of Your effulgence shines.

In the silent and isolated dark night,
Your wee bit of grace remains with me.

O embodiment of effulgence!
We were introduced to one another
in the hue of dawn,
in the colouring of hearts.

I did not know nor understood why people love.

You were alone in my sky,
pouring light all around.

In Your flash, with unlimited shiver,
I was absorbed.

My heart became flooded
with rhythm and songs,
and went dancing unto You.

By Your touch,
full of joy,
I attained You,
O embodiment of consciousness!

I heard much about You,
but am unable to recognise You.
What pity!

After much pondering,
this much only could I understand:
that to Your grace
there is no alternative.

How can a mere drop attain the ocean?
It can't help but to dissolve into it.

If the light of a lamp wishes to hold the moon,
it has no alternative but to become the moonlight itself.

The love between You and me,
knowingly or unknowingly,
has been lasting for ages.

The love You awaken
removes all ignorance
and bestows eternal knowledge.

Do not forget
that You love me.

Do not tear the garland
that I threaded.

Do not allow the honey
that started flowing in my mind,
at the time of sunrise,
to dry up
by the heat of fire or intense sunshine.

Do not allow the memory
of the song that we sang together,
in the light bathing moonlit night,
to be wiped out by storms and meteors.

---------------------------------

Do not forget You once loved me.
I have woven this garland with much devotion.
Please do not tear it.

Since the moment of dawn
I have been carrying nectar in my heart.
Let not blazing fire and scorching sun dry it.

On many a full moon night,
washed in moonshine,
we sang together.
Let not blasts of storms and strikes by meteors
wipe out the trail of that memory.

You came and loved,
but You went away right after, why?
Tell me.

Your departing,
soon after Your arrival,
gives only pain.

Not to come at all
would have been the better thing to do.

The garland that You put on,
spread its fragrance.
Yet, now only the thread
of the flowers that withered,
remains.
Its memory still shines on.

The seat on which You were seated,
absorbed in sweetness,
still brings sighs in the recess of my heart.
Its memory remains vibrant even today,
in pain and in pleasure.

at last You came today.

But You immediately told me
You were again to leave.

In my mind,
I decorated the altar of my heart.
This time I shall not allow You to go.

From selected flowers
I threaded my garland.
To offer my love,
I brought a colourful bouquet.

Just remain seated and watch,
I shall decorate You with all my heart.

From the essence of mental sandal,
I made a carefully threaded
mental garland for You.
With a new colour in mind,
I shall contemplate Your pink feet.

On the path of movement so many thorns lie.
Why is that?
I am unable to understand it.

The time spent in lifting up those thorns
could have been utilised in work.

I have heard that if obstructions come
in a full fledged way,
it arouses energy to ideate on You.
This reason for so much obstruction consoles me.

If darkness was not there,
the value of light would not be understood.

The distressed mind only
understands the magnitude of bliss.

---------------------------------

Why are there so many thorns on the path?
I cannot understand this.
The time I spent to pick up these thorns
could have been utilised for work.

If there is obstructions on the path,
strength increases
and the mind becomes engrossed in Your thought.
Maybe this is the reason why
You create so many obstructions.

If there had been no darkness,
who could have understood the value of light?
Only the mind that is engrossed in pain and suffering
can realise the intensity of happiness.

You keep me surviving in hope

You keep me bound

What sort of divine game

You engross all in deep slumber

the sweetness absorbed sandal breeze,

You smile with joy.

Holding or touching You

You came in the night,
in the midst of

On a secluded forest path,
alone and in silence,
You stepped forth.

You came
during roars of thunder and burning lights,
and sat on the throne of my heart.

Without heeding obstructions,
You advanced full of love.

It rained heavily
and Your head was wet,
Your eye lids were covered with water.

Unassailed by it all,
You came to show Your form.

The chariot of light moves on.
It moves on and on.

Passing through a path strewn with shiuli flowers,
it adjoins the forest of tall kash grass,
and, crossing fields wet with dew,
it advances, looking towards the sky.

Taking along the essence of life,
with light, flashing in the corner of mind,
it crushes the walls of obstruction,
and rushes on to an unknown destination.

Removing the accumulated clouds,
raising colours in the sky,
and providing a sweet touch,
it sings the song of the far distance.

with the enchanting ketaki fragrance,
looking for my lost heart
during a night of intense rain.

In total darkness,
Your unique ankle bell
tinkled again and again.

Single handedly,
You removed my entire darkness,
like a single moon,
that radiates light in the blue sky.

O Lord of all places of pilgrimage,
You are the companion of all,
You are revered by all hearts equally.

You instantly removed my accumulated agonies.
And pulled off my entire load of disappointment.

I used to float about aimlessly.
You placed me in the tide,
O most respected entity!

The fog of winter is gone,
the stars started glittering in the sky.

You came smiling
through the soft and sweet sandal breeze.

Tender leaves grew
and buds bloomed on dry branches.
A warm flow started flowing in the sea.
The chirping of birds carried sweetness,
and the buds of flowers were filled with nectar.

In my mind I decorate the festival of light
to please You.

O beautiful one,
come with red feet,
and colour the earth in various hues.

Decorating my eyes with the mark of love,
come close into my waiting heart.

You are the ray of hope in the darkness.

Removing all agonies,
You drew a bright pious mark.

O dear one,
amidst the dark and rainy night,
You shine like the lightning.

O incomparable one,
on the shivering,
yet smiling, niipa bud pollen,
You poured fragrance.

You are the encouraging and heavenly melody,
to a broken heart.

You continuously provide inspirations
for the onward movements on the path.

You never encourage to pause due to obstruction.
You are activity to a dead heart.
You are the sweet embodiment,
full of rhythm and colours.

---------------------------------

You are the ray of light in darkness.
You remove all the guilt of the mind,
and paint it in white effulgence.

In the rainy night of cimmerian darkness,
You shine forth as lightning!
Into the pollen of thrilled and vibrating flowers
You pour enticing fragrance.

You are the colourful hope of the broken heart.
You provide inspiration to move forward.
You never stop when facing obstructions.

You are the vitality in morose life.
You remain full of rhythm, colour and sweetness.
O Lord, You are so full of rhythm and sweetness!

Today I lost myself.

What for did I come to this world?
When I probe into finding out,
I realise that I came to perform action.

I had tiredness from previous movements;
I carried the delusion of many mistakes.

I moved on the path
forgetting my purpose
and spoiled things.

Today, tiredness does not arise.
Delusion does no longer enter my mind.
I found my objective in attaining You
by surrendering myself.

When we first met,
in an upsurge of love,
the sun illuminated all sides,
with the crimson colour of dawn.

The flowers emanated their call with open petals,
in a sweet sentiment, forgetting all shyness.
My heart was shivering and its pollen were vibrating.

Today, the birds chirp and sing songs,
filling their nests with rhythm.
That chirping fills love into human beings.

in this rain, absorbed in water drops?

The kadamba flower pollen shivers with joy.
The peacock joyously dances and sings in rhythm.
The mental bees in groups rush on
with the hope of reaching their pollen.

The murmuring of the stream resonates with joy,
and the cane grove vibrates with new enthusiasm.
The six petaled flowers,
full of fragrance and honey,
intensely long for Him today.

You are the goal of my meditation.
You are the dearest of my heart.

For You alone in each generation
I return again & again.

I always want to have You with me.
My restless mind goes out towards You.
I know that You are the only entity
and that You are my dearest one:
the essence of my existence.

What do You desire?
What do You want,
remaining so distant from me?
Why do You play with me?

I am weeping.
Is it this You want?
If this gives You pleasure,
then I shall go on weeping.

----------------------------------------

You are the object of my meditation,
You are the dearest of my life.
Lifetime after lifetime
I come to this earth,
just for You, O beloved one!

I want You ever beside me.
I move along Your path without breath or pause.
I know You are the essence of my life,
my dearest and the most adorable one.

Why do You remain far from me?
Please tell me what You expect from me.
Why do You make me cry
in the games of Your play?
If my weeping gives You joy,
then let me weep for You.

Come into my temple.

In each era,
I have constructed a temple
in expectation of Your arrival.

With a longing from my heart,
I have prepared my altar
that You might relax after carrying out millions of actions.

I continuously look for You
on the path of Your arrival.

I await You with the tinkling sound
of my mental viina.

Numerous springs have passed,
leaving behind imprints of different colours.
Innumerable stars are set in golden light,
but You did not come along that path.

----------------------------------------

Please come into the temple of my life.
I have preserved this shelter for eons and eons,
for Your advent only.

I erected this altar with the feelings of my life,
With the jingling sound of the viina of my heart.
I hope and look forward to that You
might once rest there after accomplishing millions of deeds.

So many beginnings of spring went by,
which brought about many a colour.
So many stars twinkle with golden light.
And yet, You do not appear on the road.

in the flame of fire that burns the ego.

I see Your glory
in the ocean dance that destroys meanness.

In points of light on the deep blue sky,
stars are reflected.
In the meagre heart,
an unlimitedly deep ocean is present.

In Your creation,
O moon of the universe,
no existence other than Yours is present.

Feelings of love and affection,
of energetic love
and of heart filled love reside in You.
Within You,
all desires and thirsts are located.

That is why,
O formless one,
I cherish You.

What love of Yours this is!

You smile from a distance,
filling me with colourful hope.

In the collection of blue waters,
You swing vibrantly as illusive lotus.

O Lord of the divine game,
in an illusory and deceptive style
You come and go sweetness filled.

The nebula in the blue sky,
remains ever smeared with sandal
and Your sweet language of love
is marked with melody and tune.

----------------------------------------

You have such deep love for me!
Your far away smile fills me with new aspirations.

The lotuses in Your divine game
are moving as lively as ever
stirred by the vibrations of ocean waves.
In this sweet game
You are the moving consciousness.

The language of Your love
is filled with the melodies of the blue sky.
The distant nebula remain ever sweetened
intoxicated by the fragrance and coolness of sandalwood.

Even after losing,
You do not accept defeat.

Amidst sufferings,
You bring living beings to this world,
and subsequently have them struggle
to free themselves from it.

On flowers,
thorns are present.
On tides,
a flow also persists.

The bees await to taste the honey,
the essence of this nectar does not mix.

Providing the experience of pleasure,
You maintain pains along with it.

Washing off the agony of darkness,
You place the garland of glory on us.

----------------------------------------

Although You are in defeat,
You won't accept it.
You bring all creatures for suffering only
and due to it, they leave this creation.

There are thorns with the flowers
and the ebb and rising flow take place side by side.

In the beehive the bees suffer pain
and yet, in it lies the essence of nectar,
without which nothing can exist.

Did You keep pains and sorrows
tied to happiness
to make us realise Your deep feelings?

O Lord,
carrying the load of insult,
You adorn us with the necklace of reputation!

spreading His wings in this darkness?

You do good to all,
and provide us with benevolent intellect.
In Your love lies all goodness.

The sky was full of darkness
and within mind it was still darker.
Overcasting it all,
You poured forth effulgence.

The prajapati (a flying creature) glides in light,
small stars smile in light,
and my sweet heart,
with melody and dance,
floats adrift in light.

----------------------------------------

Who has come,
into this darkness,
opening the wings of the land of light?

You do good to everyone
and hold high benevolent intellect.
You make good sit together with goodness.

There was pitch darkness covering the sky
and in the mind too, darkness prevailed.
You brought about a flow of light
that enlightened the entire black surface.

The butterfly is flying in the light,
the little stars are smiling
and sweet hearts flow
with rhythm and melodies.

If there be need to forget You,

With what consolation did I come
to this void world?

I called You much,
but You did not allow Yourself to be attained.
That is why, I cannot but think this way.

When I see the sky touching mountains,
I find that they also keep their head bowed
and remain covered with white ice.
By melting into tears,
they display their reverence for Your pink feet.

The blue ocean,
overwhelmingly with a loud roar,
rushes unto Your greatness.
With arms spread out wide,
filled with sweet vitality,
it desires to get hold of You.

You lifted me up onto the chariot of light.

My condition was almost like dead,
passing time in wasteful actions.

Day and night, I kept thinking
I would survive by dying.

and removed all my agonies.

You coloured my mind and told me:
"Why do you keep worrying,
having already attained me?"

by doing Your sadhana.

You filled it with the sounds of numerous tunes,

You filled the breeze with a touch of sandal,

Into dry hearts,
You filled a juicy flow.
You scattered love all around You.

and yet, I become tired of searching You.

You are present in the high waves of the ocean.
You are in solitude and in the noisy forest.
On every pathway,
You remain with me in a calm and tranquil state.

In the clear blue sky,
in the group of stars,
in forests,
in gardens,
and in the sweet fragrance of flowers.

You remain ever peaceful,
amidst all the known and all the unknown,
O infinite one!

You are in the waves of the great ocean.
You are in loneliness.
You are in the forest and in the chirping of birds.
You are ever present in all walks of life.
You remain calm and quiet.

You are in the clear blue sky with the stars.
You are in in the sweetness of the flowers in gardens forests.

Amidst all known and unknown things,
You are silently present.

Who can attain You
by the power of intellect?

All attain their intellect by Your grace only.

Many a time did I come to this earth
and again left,
and observed it all with my intellect.

On each step of mine,
I realised my ignorance.
I came to the conclusion
that, in this world,
You are the only essence.

I used to conceal this ignorance
on my face,
on my eyes
and in my conduct.

And due to the load of agony,
caused by this concealment,
I used to decline further.

When I attained intuition,
then I understood,
that Yours is a non causal grace.

----------------------------------------

Who can find You with the intellect
when everybody acquires intellect from You?

So many times I came and left this earth.
Everything did I measure with intellect.
I now realise my ignorance at every step I made.
You are the only real substance in this universe.

In my expressions I tried to cover up my ignorance,
with the pressure of that guilt,
I degenerated myself.

But You awakened me
and I ultimately realised
Your grace unexpectedly showering down upon me.

Sitting in solitude,
meditating on You,
I am threading a garland.

In the sandal breeze,
on the bank of the river,
only Your picture reflects.

The murmuring sound of the stream
is requesting me to listen:

"Your companion is everyone's companion.
It is not possible to see only Him."

The sandal breeze told me
it would have been better
had I not loved Him.

He was the galaxy of distant sky,
smiling sweetly from afar.

And yet, by my love,
I am confident of attaining Him
This love also,
I learned from Him alone.

----------------------------------------

Sitting alone in His ideation,
I made a garland for Him alone.
In the fragrance laden breeze from the mountains,
by the bank of the river,
there was nothing but His presence.

The playful waters making chalchal words
had called me, "Listen, O companion,
Your Parama Purus'a is dear to all,
and so He cannot be seen separately."

The fragrance laden breeze from the mountains
went on saying while blowing:
"It would have been safer not to love Him so dearly,
for He is the star of the sky,

the distant nebula,
He smiles sweetly from the distance."

By the love He taught me, I shall attain Him.

----------------------------------------

Alone, absorbed in deep contemplation of Him,
I have woven a garland.
Only His shadow was to be seen
on the riverbanks as the southern wind blew.

The bubbling waters said,
"Listen, my friend,
Your Friend is the friend of all;
You will not get the chance to see Him alone."

The southern breeze whispered,
"It would be better had You not loved Him;
He is like a star in the sky, a distant nebula;
He sends His sweet smile from afar."

I shall yet attain Him through my love,
And I learned this lesson of love from Him.

At the threshold of light,
in a life that seemed a death well,
who are You who came?

Opening the door of my dark house,
You stood face to face.

I had closed the window,
bolted the door
and was in sleep
in my dark house,
when You woke me up by Your call.

In my mind,
I had been thinking
that whatever I know,
nobody else knows.

You entered into my heart
with the adornment of a king
and pointed at my ignorance.

You came on the chariot of fire and light,
burning off all my darkness.

Who came on this new morning,
utterly removing my night of sorrows?

No one is unknown to You.
No one is outside You.
Your coming and going has been with all.
You have hidden Yourself within all.

You know me
but I do not know You.
You accept me
but I do not accept You.

You know me well and accept me.
That is why
You keep playing Your divine game, liila,

In the flaming chariot of light
You burned all darkness.
Who are You who came in this new morning
and removed my painful night?

Nobody is unknown to You,

You brought everybody close to You.
You hide in all.

You know me, but I don't know You,
You accept me, but I do not accept You.

Know and make us accept
that You live with us
in Your playful mood.

In the depth of my mind,
secretly,
I have been seeking You,
O companion!

Tell me,
why did You come to me?
Into this garden,
in silence?
You came and stood smilingly, why?

The flowers have become dull,
the creepers have bowed
and the earth has cracked
due to the intense sun and heat.
Have You forgotten all about it?

The cuckoo does no longer coo sweetly.
The nightingale does not sing with melody and rhythm.
The separated ones cry constantly.

And all are restless with hurt sentiments and agony.

----------------------------------------

In the core of my heart I ask hidingly,
O Lord,
why have You come for me,
why have You come
and stood with a soft smile
silently in a lonely forest?

The flowers are fading,
perhaps due to the strong sunshine,
and the creepers are bending down.
The earth is broken from this heat.
Have You forgotten about it?

The cuckoos left, singing sweetly.
The nightingales are no more singing melodiously.
The lower beings, estranged in separation of You,
are offended and weep.
You have overwhelmed everyone.

O Lord,
for You,
I am threading a garland,
pouring into it all the sweetness of my heart.

Ideating on You
tears float from my eyes.

I have no strength of sadhana,
neither any weight of good actions.
That is why, I constantly beg for Your mercy
that, with Your force, my hopes be fulfilled.

I have neither mundane nor spiritual knowledge.
The thread of my love has not been woven either.
Only tears flowing from eyes with pain do I possess.
With what deception do You keep deluding me?

----------------------------------------

I have strung a garland for You,
with all the sweetness of my heart.
O Lord,
With tears, I have surrendered myself unto Your ideation.

I could not acquire the strength of sadhana (meditation),
neither could I earn the credit of holiness.

Therefore, I constantly pray for Your grace.
Could You ever neglect the helpless?

I have no knowledge,
neither mundane nor spiritual,
nor do I possess the devotion filled thread of love.
All I have is a painful stream of tears.

O Lord,
With what excuse would You make me forget You?

You told me smilingly:

"Open your eyes,
and when threatened by fear,
think of me.

Roses without thorns,
tides without flow,
are not the style,
are not the flow of nature,
this fact you ought to understand.

I am always with you,
loving in pain and in pleasure.
I am yours and you are mine.
Hence, discard all feelings of misery."

After having come close
You went far away.
From this ruthlessness of Yours,
I am much pained.

Having once stood in the front,
You hid Yourself in the back.
Do not You have a little affection for me?

Raising me to the top of the tree,
why did You remove the ladder?

Handing over the nectar fruit with Your hand,
why did You throw it into the river?

You bloom buds in spring
and then burn them to ashes
in the intense summer sun.

After lighting the camphor lamp,
You allow it to be extinguished,
leaving behind only black soot.

Removing the sweetness from my green heart,
You leave it stranded as if dead.

I seek only a little grace from You,
in order to survive
until, in Your ideation,
I shall merge with You.

O dear Lord,
come into my life,
I have remained awake,
waiting for You for ages.
Please make me Your own.

There is no place for meanness in Your heart
neither is there false vanity in Your world.

You are the ever bright pole star,
showing the proper path and direction to a lost goose.

In which past did I commence my journey?
Towards which unknown destiny do I keep rushing?
My wings are tired and my eyes dull.
Unknowingly, You tied us both in one same thread.

----------------------------------------

O my dearest Lord, come!
Come into my life and make me Yours.
For ages, I have been keeping vigil waiting for You.

There is no place for negligence towards me in You.
There is no false vanity in Your realm.
You are the everunfading polestar.
Please show the direction to the flying swan that got lost.

In which distant past have I started my journey?
On which unseen path am I moving forward?
My wings are wearied, I feel exhaustion in my eyes.

So, please make me one with the unknown.
Be together with me, tied with the same string.

With what support did You leave me
in this lonely forest?
Please tell me.

Sitting alone,
I am crying
and passing time.
My heart sinks with pain.

The flowers contain their own vital honey within,
but, O companion, You took away all my honey
to some distant heavenly world.

In my mind only one matter appears:
the silent pain of my heart,
mingled with restlessness.
It cannot be forgotten even if I attempted to.

----------------------------------------

Under whose confidence am I left alone
in this isolated garden?
I pass the days sitting in lamentation.
My heart faints in torments.

Sweetness is always hidden in flowers.
Yet, all my sweetness has vanished.
O, my own one, where am I left?
In which far distant heaven
and under whose care?

In me, this issue reappears again and again.
An untold heartbeatings sways my mind,
churning an inner longing in the core of my heart.
I cannot forget this forgetfulness of Yours.

the hide and seek game takes place
between the moon and the clouds
and all witness it.

Hence, my mind too
rushes towards the sky.

The moonlight awakens sparkling waves
in the river water
and all the darkness of my mind dissolves in it.

In the soft light of the evening lamp
I wonder why the day passes by.
My moon calls me.
It moves on, singing songs.

After having heard much
and having thought a lot,
I finally decided to love You.

After roaming through the sky,
in hell,
in mountains and in caves,
only one gem could I find.

I know love does not care for logic nor reasoning.
I do not love You to attain liberation.
I love You to get bliss.
This is the essence of all I know.

I will continue doing Your work
to whatever extent I am able to,
keeping in mind the highest devotion.

I love You to provide bliss to You.
This is the very last thing I have come to know.

----------------------------------------

I heard much about You
and I thought much about You,
and then learned to love You.

I searched for You in the sky,
on the earth, in mountain caves.
And finally I found a unique jewel in my life.

I know that love does not obey any logic.
By my love I don't want liberation.
I only love You to get Your bliss.
This is the essence that I have come to understand.

I will go on doing Your work with sincere efforts,
keeping the supreme devotion in my mind.
I love You to make You happy.
This is the ultimate thing that I have realised.

The moon reflects itself in the pond
and yet, it remains within it.

Likewise, You continue Your divine game with me,
though You remain within my heart.
And that is why, You are my garland of diamonds.

You know my mind.
You accept me
though I am but a meagre living being.
When I make mistake,
You bring me back onto the proper path,
watching me closely with stern, yet love-filled eyes.

If anytime I forget ideating on You,

Aimless movement is a waste.

You are my pole star.

Ideating on You

You are the path
and You are the traveler.

they want to be constantly stepped upon by Him.
The snow peaked mountains
desire to melt under His love.

The buzzing bees in the lotus grove,

"You are the ray of our hope.
Come on this golden morning."

Hence, opening the door,
I move on.

in my relaxed moment.
I bid my pranam (farewell) to everyone.

I kept company with all in their pains and pleasures,
in different works, forms and decorations,

so good bye for today.

I could not give any composure,
I only gave pains.
I got a lot of happiness, and wanted still more.

Let me go out, let me open the door.

Who is He endlessly singing His songs?
Who is He playing His flute
in a sweet and enchanting way,
and yet, with silent pain?

He is not concerned about time
nor cares for worldly shyness.

By His distant pull,
He generates pain within me
and fills my heart
with injury and agony.

The introduction between the two of us,
since the first morning,
gradually matured into love.
Place and time drifted away,
and only love remained.

I keep floating on
towards an unknown and heavenly destination.

----------------------------------------

Who is He singing endlessly for me?
Who is He playing the flute with enchanting sweetness,
expressing untold pain?

He surpasses the limitations of time,
not paying heed to the formality of worldly affairs.
He attracts me towards a far distance,

generating inexpressible pain in my heart.

The acquaintance I made on my life's first dawn,
is being gradually filled with love.

Time and place disappeared, only love remains.
I am flowing in light, floating towards a heavenly world.

I am in search of You.

I went to my garden to look for You
but You did not let Yourself be caught.

Oscillating in the swing of hope and despair,
my mind rushes unto innumerable unknown worlds.

From wisdom talks
and discussions on philosophy,
nothing was ever gained.

I searched You
in the depths of the sea,
in gardens and forests,
in the various beautiful forms of flowers,
in the sky and in the air.
But I did not search You
in the depth of my mind.

----------------------------------------

I am in search of You.
I keep searching but You do not come to me.
In no place of pilgrimage,
no meadow,
nowhere do I find You.

I swung in the cradle of hopes and desperation
and my mind was lifted unto an unknown world.

I attained nothing in discussions of knowledge
and meetings of logic and reasoning.

I was in quest of You
in the sea,
in deep forests,
in flower gardens,
in the sky,
in the wind
and in so many expressions of flowers,
but never did I try to find You within me.

Forgetting You,
I was submerged in deep layers of darkness.
Why did You not prevent this from happening?

I forgot my heart, became cruel,
and adopted devilishness.
Why did You tolerate these afflictions of mine?

Not observing the beacon of light,
neither following the path of logic,
I continued moving about with pride,
blinded by intense attachments.

Not removing my own faults,
but instead blaming others,
I proudly blabbered on,
shaking the sky and the air.

O beautiful Lord,
You came and smiled sweetly.

Spreading heavenly effulgence,
You sat on the inner recess of my heart.
In my garden,
buds were covered with tender leaves.

My mental bee remained awake,
hoping to absorb itself in Your sweetness.

In that loving environment,
with a lively touch,
pollen appeared in the flowers.

Enchanted by the sandal breeze,
peacocks then began to dance.

And with divine effulgence,
the ocean started swinging freely.

You entered my life,
forgetting Your grandeur and attributes.

Taking Your sweet ideation,
what happened to my mind?

All worldly bondages snapped off, merging into infinity.
Now only tears flow from my eyes.

My heart has accepted defeat.

With a startling flash,
the stealer of mind won my heart.

Crying and laughing,
repeatedly coming and going,
are no longer.

At the end of the divine play,
You gave me that most valuable treasure.

From the world of light,
a fairy appeared,
spreading its colourful wings.

By its good actions,
it annihilated all mental darkness.

Let none hate anyone.
Let none take away the morsel of food
from another person's mouth.
Let all have education,
medical treatment,
housing and clothing.

All human beings are our brothers.
Let there be no disputes.
The pains and pleasures of one
are pains and pleasures to all.

In Your mental arbour of madhavi flowers,
I sat alone all by myself.

In that isolated arbour,
at night,
the moonlight peeped through.

The sandal breeze came and again went away,
gently whispering to me:

"Stay here, understand my agony,
listen to what the peacock says.

Put your spare time into action,
forgetting all agonies of the past.

Look forward with courage,
forgetting what came and passed."

Leaving You,
where shall I go?
Kindly tell me.

By Your light, the world is illuminated,
and life becomes vibrant with joy.

Right from the beginning of creation,
You remain continuously present
in both life and death,
individually as well as collectively.

O tranquil one,
You pervade each atom,
each life and mind.

There is no place, where You do not exist.
There is no form, where You are not seen.
There is no tune, which You do not sing.
By Your rhythm, all become vibrant.

----------------------------------------

Where could I go, leaving You, tell me.
The creation is brightened with Your light
and life is glittering with Your happiness.

From the early period of my life
You were with me
in both life and death.

You are in my deep heart,
undisturbed one,
You alone realised me
and only You dwells in every pore
of my cells and mind.

Scarcely a land is there where You do not exist.
Hardly any form exists where You are not present.
There is no melody in which You did not sing.
Everything remains illuminated by Your rhythm.

Even after seeing You,
it is difficult to recognise You properly.

Whenever I think
I have recognised You
and understood everything
on the strength of intellect,
then, by striking me secretly,
You make me realise my ignorance.

Whenever I think
I have obtained much
and on the strength of wealth,
am able to acquire anything,
then, by showing me the most valuable gem,
You make me realise my poverty.

with all my heart.

I developed and gained achievements
such as flowers and fruits,
that are part of Your infinite gifts.

I could not see
how much of my own You were.
You gave me so much
as if in a sweetness absorbed, colourful dream.

After such a long time
I came to know and recognise You in meditation.

Much my time passed by in vain,
like a blade of grass, floating in the stream.

Today, samvit intuition has come to me.
And now, I utilise my time
in singing Your song.

Your effulgence and this sweet pair of eyes of Yours,
fill my heart with bliss.

I am overcome with shyness
when thinking about Your enchanting grandeur and adornment.
You made me float adrift on some dreamy melody.

I cannot express my mental agony.
My heart is crying in pain.
Why bear such pitiable condition?
Please take me to Your heavenly abode.

Come, loving all!

At the end of the dark night,

For, You smile softly over the horizon.

Let all the pain of darkness be over this time.
Let the agony of inertia come to an end.

Piercing through the bosom of darkness,
the typhoon of light has come.

Many ignorant were enlightened
and many homes became illuminated with lamps.

Now, nobody is distant to anyone.
All are closely related to one another.

There exists only one earth, nourished with nectar.
All are dressed in one adornment.

Let no one exploit anyone.
Let none feed himself by threatening others.
Let all move towards the great
with vibrant faces and raised bosoms.

----------------------------------------

A typhoonic light has pierced through the darkness.
A lot of unknown became known.
Many houses are now beaming with light.

None is far from anyone, everybody belongs to all.
Each one is nurtured by the same earth.
All are adorned in the same manner.

Nobody is being exploited by anyone.
None is suppressed in fear.
All are moving towards progress
with bright faces and proud feelings.

By Your grace,
a mark of mercy appeared in the floral pollen.

Amidst floral pollen,
evolved melodies,
and the love-filled sandal breeze,
fragrance blows by Your inspiration,
churning the minds of the universe.

The greenness-filled sweetness of the earth,
disseminates Your quality of greatness.
It rushes towards You,
adoring You
and declaring You as most beloved one.

By Your touch,
the darkness of fear and agony
is wiped out.

By the stream of Your nectar,
You keep all joyful
and happily accept offerings of love.

You announce in the core of my heart
that I am never alone.

In Your ideation my mind becomes fragrant.
In Your vibration,
the three worlds smile
and the forests,
the gardens
and the frenzied breeze,

If You do not come
what is point of lighting my lamp?

What is the use
of carrying my flowers from the water or the land?

Discussing, selecting and utilising
various tunes and melodies in my songs is useless.

Expecting Your arrival,
the garland of flowers,
seems to have been
vainly prepared for Your welcome.

I was determined not to think about You.
Yet, Your ideation keeps returning.

Hence, in expectation of Your arrival,
I look onto the path,

I decided not to think about You, but I still do.
I look unto the path in expectation of You,
keeping the door of my heart open.

You came,

On the path of movement,
You remain.
Hence, there is no fear of getting lost.
You remain awake and fully alert
day and night.

You rectify my mistakes
and charge me with hope.

Whatever is required,
You provide it all.
You make all necessary arrangements for my life.
You smile in the crimson colour of dawn.
You awaken me and satisfy my hunger.

The one who illuminated the dark world,
who won the dirty mind with love,

is it for Him you thread a garland?

You consider neither gain nor loss.
Your heart remains fully engrossed

Your mind rushes unto Him,

You are beyond time and space.
You have no bondages.

You are above all dogma.
You bring light into darkness.

Who, if not You, will understand,
the tearful agony of my heart?
Tell me.

To whom but You can I recount
the core story of my churned mind?

You are the flame in the lamp
to those whose life has become hopeless.
You pull the distressed ones close to You.

You are the effulgence
that radiates in the three worlds,
and within it, I quickly find You.

Because You exist,
everything else exists.
Indeed, You know all.

I kept awake the whole night,
awaiting You,
but You did not come.

You were in an unknown world
and went away to an unknown world,
without saying anything.

Many days and nights passed by.
My garland of shefali flowers dried up.

The flowers in my chignon withered away
but still, You did not appear to me.

You did not mention Your coming nor staying,
neither did You forget about it.
You did not You show any displeasure about it either.

If You want, stay forever in my heart
but do not forget my love.

----------------------------------------

I kept long vigils waiting for You to arrive.
But You did not come to me, O Lord.

You came from an unknown realm,
And You left for an unknown realm.
But You did not tell me where You went.

How many days have passed!
How many nights!
The shephali flower garland has withered
The flowers in my hair have faded and fallen on the ground.

You never came within my reach.
I will not entreat You to come to me,
I will not beg You to remain with me.
Nor will I take any offence over it.

If You wish, stay with me always
but do not forget my love.

You do not know,
how much pain I endure for You.

Day and night,
I search from path to path.
Do not You see me?

Right from the dawn of creation,
I have been moving on Your path
drawn by Your pull.

In sleep,
in dream,
in slumber
and in my awakened state,
I could not come to know You.
Do not You understand this?

In the grass,
in shrubs,
in trees
and in creepers,
I keep searching.

I know that You remain hidden within.
Tell me, why do You not appear to me?
Have You got no mercy?

----------------------------------------

You do not know
how much I suffer for You,
You never know.

I keep searching day and night,
on every path.
You do not pay heed to me,
You never do.

Since the dawn of the creation,
I started out my journey,
propelled by Your attraction.

I do not know anybody else but You,
in sleep, dream
and my awakened state of mind.

I search and tread the path
and find You in grasses,
bushes, trees and plants.
I know You are hiding there.

Please tell me why
You do not come to me.
You have no compassion,
You do not.

Who are You standing on my path?
Tell me.

You told me You would not allow me
to leave the proper path
and to move on the wrong path.

In front a deep pit lurks.
It is covered by a dark veil.

With my eyes,
I am unable to see it.
For, there is no end to obstacles.

The prison of ego,
the burden of knowledge,
intellect,
name and fame
all bind me.

Removing these heaps,
and taking on You all my load,
You taught me how to perform Your sadhana.

----------------------------------------

Who are You, who You stood in my way?
Let me know.
I requested You to leave my path,
but You did not let me go on that wrong path.

In front lies a huge ditch,
covered with cimmerian darkness.
My eyes never paid attention to see it.
Only because You hindered me, I escaped the fall.

Prisons of ego used to surround me.
They were bondages of knowledge,
intellect, name and fame.
Shattering those bondages,
You took my burdens,
and taught me the art of sadhana (meditation).

O Lord,
to the devotee,
You bestow affection and love.

Stay in my heart,
crush my pride
and pull me close to You.

Under the impulse of worldly attachment,
I must not forget You bound by inertia.

Hence, with tearful eyes,
I beg for You mercy,
O beloved!

Days come and go,
never to return.
Even happy memories do not look back.

Whoever comes to this world,
becomes lost in a vacuum,
and cannot but declare
that You are the most revered one,
the object of ideation for all.

For whom are you waiting, looking at the path?

who has not allowed

On the nucleus of a precious lotus
whose sweetness excels and dominates?

Who is He whose unbarred volume of hope

Having come into my life,
why did You again leave?
Please tell me.

You had kept me tied to the floral thread of hope,
and by going away, left me stranded with tearful eyes.

I was bound in the stone prison (of materialism),
yet, on the stones themselves I bloomed a flower.
That flower I offered to You,
with all my heart.

O eternal companion of mine
from beginningless time,
You are the stream of infinite nectar on this earth.
In fire and in air,

in all entities,
You remain vibrant with vigour.

----------------------------------------

If You came, why did You leave again,
please tell me why You went away.
You kept me in hope,
whilst my eyes were full of tears.

I was captured in prisons of crudeness,
I had grown flowers there.
I offered those flowers to You
and my heart became refreshed.

O companion, since beginningless time,
Your endless charm flows over the earth,
in the air, in fire, in all entities.
Verily, You are the essence of life.

Why are You displeased with me?

How many nights have I kept awake?
How many flowers have I collected,
constantly meditating on You?

My dry heart is moistened with Your name.
My valueless life is full of Your ideation.
My restless heart locates itself within You.

I am mad for Your vision.
You come close
but do not stay nearby.
You do not speak with sweet lips.
Is there no attractive force of love in me?

----------------------------------------

Why did You not leave after expressing
what made You offended?

So many nights have passed without sleep,
so many flowers have been collected.
With this in mind, I keep doing Your dhyana (deep meditation).

My dry heart melted with Your name.
My meaningless life became filled with Your bhava (ideation).
This restless mind of mine became absorbed in You.

I turn mad for seeing You.

You came near me, but did not sit beside me.
You did not speak with sweet lips.
Do not You have affection for me?

On the solitary path,
You never pause due to fear or risk.

I had not made any preparations to welcome You.
No useful arrangement was made.
I had only an injured mind and heart,
but filled with love and soaked with tears.

I did not do anything for You.
I simply wandered about behind mirages.
But You held my hand
and blowing a loud trumpet,
showed me a new sun.

Your love and song,
removes the darkness of mind.

By taking Your name
and by Your song,
even intense clods are removed.

I remain by and large forgetful of You,
and call You only when trapped in sorrow.

On the path of this journey towards light,
why do you sit in the darkness?

On this shining cart of effulgence,
why do you maintain
discrimination and aversion?

The horizon at the end of the land
calls with hand signals and speaks in sweet language.

Respond to that call and move forward.
Leaving the intense slumber,
wake up, wake up.

The stars and nebulas of the far sky
are not distant,
none is distant.
You are not alone.

Forgetting detachment, recognise all.
Do not think that you are far away.

On a moonlit night,
silently and in solitude,
You came into my mind
and smiled, full of sweetness.

The moon in the sky
was playing hide and seek amongst the dark clouds.

You poured out nectar
on the three worlds
by sweet gestures
and smiling overwhelmingly.

The petals of flowers,
discarding all bondages,
drifted into the distant sky.

The ever-pardoning and beautiful Lord,
with charming love,
floated in the niipa flower garden of my heart,
kindling the lamp of life.

Even constantly searching You
in forests and in groves,
I was unable to see You.

I do not know whether You are
in mountains, oceans or in galaxies.

Do not You have feelings
for those who love You dearly?

Don't You have any place in Your mind
for those who offer their life to You?

Today, I understood
that You reside in my mind only
and that You illuminate it.

Struggling to search You in the outer world,
I had only sent my nearest away from You.

----------------------------------------

I searched for You in the woods and in the forest
but I failed to find You anywhere.

I searched for You on land,
in the ocean, in the nebula,
in every nook and corner I searched.
I don't know where You are.

Do You not desire to think of those
who have immense love for You?
Do You not have any place in Your mind for those
who have dedicated their life for Your cause?

But I realise today, You reside in my mind.
You brought effulgence and dispelled my ignorance.
Searching in the outer world,
I am sending my nearest to the farthest place.

Sitting and waiting for You,
the days pass by.

Alas, during this grand festival of light,
why do You remain afar?

Flowers after flowers bloom,
and, due to pride, wither away.
All long for Your touch and joy.

Through dance, song,
rhythm and tunes
I wish to keep You blissful.

If You do not look at me,
it all will go to waste.

You told me You would come again,
but You went away
and forgot Your words.

Perhaps Your love
had been only of a superficial nature,
and therefore,
You did not understand my pain.

The beauty of my once decorated house is gone.
The bondage in my chignon became loosened.
The garland loop on my hairdo withered away.
All that is left, is my earnest longing.

With all my strength bundled up,
I await to hear Your footstep.
In the hope of Your arrival,
and with an impatient heart,
I count days and time.

During sleep,
in dream
or in my wakeful stance,
remain seated in my mind.

In Your creation, I am a mere an atom.
In Your mind, I am a mere particle.

This body was created by Your grace,
engage it in Your work.

O great ocean,
there is no limitation to You.
You can be compared to no one.
Unlimited and immeasurable is Your glory.

Let me merge myself in You.

Tell me whether You like them or not.

I continue moving on,
holding on to Your path.
On this movement,
please accompany me.

I have been rehearsing my melody for ages,
keeping You in my mind.
In sorrow, in distress,
in joy and in effluence
with a blissful heart.

Come closer, come within my mind.
Come in ever new adornments.
Come in each vibration,
pleasing my heart

I sat at the base of Your altar,
with a kindled lamp during a time of darkness.
Have You forgotten?

The light from my lamp
was like the light of a firefly.
You glimpsed at me,
lifting Your eyelids.

Today, how far are You from me?
I find myself in the depth of darkness.
Lift me up from shelterlessness onto Your shelter.

I know effulgence as truth without fearing darkness.
O origin of effulgence,

keep me at the base of Your holy feet.

O incomparable Lord,
come into my mental arbour,
come with plenty of delight.

In a variety of rays from the moon,
You smile nectar like.

In the distant sky,
effulgence spreads.

The home of my swan
became illuminated by You.

Delighting the firmament of my mind,
come, O innermost one!

The earth is lost in Your ideation,
the ocean is filled with crest and trough,
the touch of sandal breeze spreads sweetness,
while, I pay my salutation at Your feet.

On the solar cart of effulgence,
You came to take all with You.
You do not differentiate between small and big.

You listen to all minds.
I love witnessing this,
and become enchanted though I do not hear.

I do not understand good or bad
but know You are always present.

You did so much for me
and never wanted anything in return.
Though knowing the hundreds of my faults,
You nevertheless made me Your own.

All human beings are my own.
In a single thread all hearts are stringed,
for, all have the same objective.

I cry in sorrow,
I smile in joy and,
with a loving face,
love my beloved ones.

I enjoy food
when I am hungry
and drink
when I am thirsty
and so do all human beings.

This earth,
the stars,
the moon in the sky
and the forests
are loved by all.

I dance and sing in one rhythm only
and call my Lord single-mindedly.

----------------------------------------

All human beings are our own.
All hearts share the same innermost heart,
the needs of all are the same.
We cry in sorrow, we laugh in joy,
we love to see the faces of our dear ones.

We share food and all drink together.
We realise that all share the same needs.

We all love our universe,
the moon and stars above and the forest below.
We dance to the same rhythm
and sing with the same life's urge.
We link our minds together to call the supreme Lord.

which long accumulated aspirations
are becoming fulfilled today?

How much time has uselessly passed by waiting?
How many ceremonies ended in vain?
Who is this stranger who came today,
dispelling all confusions?

Today, the dry gardens are full of buds,
the dry lips have turned colourful.
Removing all the disgust of despair,
You sparked the candles of hope.

Tell me, why.

That golden-coloured beautiful current
removed all darkness.

All the trees and creepers
became decorated with new beauty.

Humanity has been swung into a new ideation.
Unto those who were eager,
You poured nectar.

With fragrance and beauty
flowers are decorated.
The white droplets of water glitter like pearls.

The ever beautiful one
came into the fold of beauteous forms,
showering His liberal grace.

----------------------------------------

A stream of effulgence has descended.
For what reason?
please tell me.

The stream of golden beauty,
dispelled all darkness.

All plants and creepers appeared in new forms.
Humanity became vibrated with a new wave.
You wholeheartedly poured nectar all around,
for what reason, please tell me.

The flowers bloomed in full charm,
in forms, colours and fragrance.
Water drops appeared as pearls.
He gave beauty to this earth,
blessing all out of His own free will.

Floating into the stream of beauty,
with a soft mind,
You removed the agony of all.

For You,
age after age,
hundreds and hundreds of songs
are sung.

Many invocations are carried out for You.
Many names and mantras
are recited with intense force.

You came to this earth,
to provide satisfaction to all.

All know You are beyond form and attributes,
and yet, everyone longs to see You appear
in form and attribute.

Attending to everyone's desires,
You made all understand the absolute truth,
in meditation and in intellect.

Your love and my song jointly play the flute
in the mental Gokul.

In the eternal garden of Vrindavan,
I secretly roam.

You are the gem of my eyes,
I exert to search You.

My mental Jamuna river
flows in a reverse direction,
and speaks of Your love.

With You only lies my world.
And it is You who all inhabitants of the world seek.

----------------------------------------

No matter who calls me what,
I love You so dearly.
The immortal songs of Your love
resound within my eternity.

Always in the forests of Vrindavan,
I wander around in secrecy.
You are the pupil of my eyes,
I aspire to find You.

The Yamuna river of my mind overflows,
and tells stories of Your love.
This experience of mine is for Your sake,
and it is for You
that all the people of the earth aspire.

Kindling my lamp,
I remove the darkness of my house.

Yet, to remove this darkness of mind,
nothing lies at my disposal.

Outside, deep darkness prevails,
seemingly engulfing the smile of the stars.

And due to meanness,
the darkness of mind further blackens.

Secretly, within my mind,
I light a lamp with the oil of ideation
and place it on a series of waves,
that arise from the ocean of beauty.

In the firmament of my mind,
I remember You each moment.

You are the nucleus of all thoughts.
You exist unseen in all actions.

The whole world and the universe lie outside me.
But, sheltering them totally,
You remain greatest.

You are the gravest Guru
and You are Greatest.
In Your world, none is alone.

In which long forgotten night,
forgetting You,

I observed that the wheel of Your cart

raising vibrations in my mind?
He brought the distant one close
and removed the bondage of obstructions.

He brought whatever existed only in the psychic realm,
into the world of forms.

With sound, touch, smell and flow,

The mystic traveler
whom I had been awaiting for ages,
responded to my call.

He came to my abode without considering

Dharma is my companion,
Dharma is my life.

I accept and follow Parama Purusa only.
I am 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 along His path,
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 splendour.

Crying time and again,
for whom does your bound chignon loosen out?

Your sorrowful eyes,
covering up all agitation,
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?

O Lord,
Because You exist,
the world exists.

To serve You,
living beings exist.

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

In sweet intuitional practice,
in sweet creation,
unbound sweetness
envelops 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.

The butterfly,
spread its wings
and snatched away the pollen from the flower.

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

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

The flower, with a smile, requests:

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

Who awakened my drowsy eyelids
with a touch of light?

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

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

Who illuminated me
with a glittering lamp of gems?

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

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

I decorated my mental house with bright colours.

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

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

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

Come into my mind

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

Whatever belongs to me
ever keeps dancing around You.

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

You are the intimate one
to those who have none.

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

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

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

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

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

By love, You won the mind.

During strong storms,
killing the serpentine noose,
You eventually bring calmness.

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

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

You existed then,
and You are present now.

You remain absorbed in Your divine game,
eternally seeking love.

and what for did You go,

In Your infinite world,
innumerable living beings ever dance.
Within Your sweet and delusive game,

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

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

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

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

You remain within
and outside the periphery of time
You are not to be measured by days.

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's rumbling
want that one entity only.
The sparkling of light in the distant sky,
passing through rainfalls,
displays love and affection.

The pollen of floral fragrance,
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On a rainy night,
intoxicating me
with the fragrance of the ketaki 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 stirring sandal breeze blew,
intoxicating all.
It sang,
resonating in the tune of clouds.

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 on with melody.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In light and shade,
in pain and pleasure
how many lives passed?

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

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

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

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

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

Spring has come
and has vibrated each atom.

What is its cause and origin?

Under whose illusive influence,
have internal melodies appeared?

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

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

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

This unbound vitality cannot be hidden.

attain You with all their heart.

You take everything from those
who offer You their all.

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

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

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

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

You 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

the six enemies (internal enemies)

I shall not forget You.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You came and went away without informing me.

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

What a new divine game this is,

Your love is beyond expectations.
You gave all without expecting anything in return.

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

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

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?

and in hundreds of thoughts,

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

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

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

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

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

Nothing is impossible for You,
for, the seven worlds have been threaded into Your mind.

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

After the ending, You again start,
filling the whole arena of maya.
You are excellent amongst the best,
worshipable amongst adorables.

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

come in the sandal breeze.

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

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

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

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

Hence, even without looking at You,

From a distance, they vibrate in combination.

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.

Hiding behind the hills and forests,
the sun sets.

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

When the sun shone,
darkness turned illuminated,
and yet, with the setting of the sun,
its memory too, lost itself in oblivion.

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

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

You came,
O effulgent 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 earnestness became filled
with idea, beauty, flow and language.
O personification of consciousness,
You remain ever admirable!

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

With affectionate sweetness
and blessings of love,
You smilingly told,

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

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.

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

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.

the lamp of my heart glittered.

The dry wooden stand of my lamp
turned into consciousness.

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

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

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

When Your causeless grace came,
my afflicted heart found fulfilment.

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 play shall we all attain You.
By Your grace shall we cross darkness.
This promise of Yours ever fills my mind and heart.

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

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.

Witnessing Your blissful entity,

The flowers became filled with nectar,

In the deep recess of the garden of my mind,

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

My eyes were contented,
my heart became spirited,
when I attained You with all my heart.

became filled with sweetness,

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

You observed and smiled,
and the earth frenzied.

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

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

Secretly and unseen,

No one saw or noticed
Your incomparable love.

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

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

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

And due to negligence,
tender new leaves dry out untimely.

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

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

Come to show the proper direction
to this direction lost person.

there is no one at this bad time, alas.

You came and kindled light,
and brought human beings to this world.

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

The earth was torn and broken
due to strokes,
and, due to divisive intellect,
became fragmented
into hundreds of parts.

Mother earth carried marks of pain
all over her body.

You provided illumination,
and applied ointment on wounds.

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

"I am here to protect you from pain."

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Now, on this auspicious moment,
removing all hesitations,

I attained Him.

Without heeding the 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,

The descent of light on earth

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 mantra to address and call You.

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

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

In the day and at night
I create my 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 emanates from Your sweetness
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.

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
our encounter took place.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You respond to the call
of all those under distress
and bestow unbound love on them.

In Your world no one remains alone,
no one is helpless,
no one remains surrounded by fog.

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

On this colourful night full of moonlight,
who are You who came,
spreading Your wings?

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

But due to the presence
of the black coating of maya on my eyes,
I am unable to fully assimilate You.

The ketaki flower secretly tells me
that this friend is a polymorphic entity,
sometimes displaying Himself near,
sometimes hiding Himself.

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

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

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

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

And yet,
even finding myself lost,
I want Him,
and constantly listen for His footsteps.

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

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

You gave me assurance of results,

After attaining You,

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 was there to await and welcome Him.

Yet, He came in enchanting fashion
with the jingling melody of His viina.

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

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

O one with a gracious look,
one with 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.

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

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

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

You moved on with such elevated ego,
that it almost kissed the sky.

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

The strength of providence
declared you highest being,
and bestowed upon you great intellect.

Hence, rush on defying obstructions,
ever unto the stars.

--------------------------------

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The peacock started dancing,
finding the rising sun close.

The jasmine fragrance
opened the gates of heaven.

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

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

Many an autumn came
and many a spring smiled.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 sphere,
and lead us unto the world of formlessness.

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

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

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.
You are above it all.

As You have no bondage,
I am unable to bind You
by either praise or glorification.

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

did You kindle the lamp
that today You brought?

That lamp continues to glow
with innumerable flames.

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

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

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

At the end
You complete all Your work

Those helpless
and under the spell of a deep slumber,
obtained consciousness by Your touch.

You provided heartfelt melodies
to the birds that were resting in their nest.

You decorated the dark earth with colours
and, in the game of colours,
You became absorbed.

You arose amidst awakened hearts.
You removed all fear

You exist.

kindled fire
and loved all wholeheartedly.

You opened my eyes,
You smiled softly
and removed all my afflictions.

In darkness and in negligence,
how many days and nights passed by?

You understood my pain,
and hence, You came.
With both hands,
You wiped off my tears.

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

You came,
applied Your colour
and filled the earth
with the sweetness of hues.

-------------------------------------------

You came and created light.
You loved us wholeheartedly.
You opened Your eyes and smiled.

Many days passed by in darkness.
You came because You understood our pain.
With both Your hands You wiped away
the tears from our eyes.

The moon remained in the sky,
the pollen stayed in the flower.
I was only feeling hopelessness.
You came and spread Your colours.
You filled the earth

On which unknown dawn,
did You kindle Your light?

The flame glows to this day,
bypassing the bondage of time and date.

From that light,
life emerged,
and the garden
became intoxicated with fragrance.

From that light,
the earth became decorated with colour and form,
attaining heavenly beauty.

From that light,
all received life,
and that light,
makes all great.

That light opens up vision
and enlightens all beings.

A flood of light calls the dark earth.

That light wants to open up the eyes
of whoever remains buried in darkness.

Utter darkness prevailed
everything seemed as black as coal.

By the touch of light and in lively joy,
all awakened.

Light after light came
colouring the sky and the air.

Keeping my eyes fixed on that light,
I express my salutation to You.

Who is that,
singing on the boat of songs and forms?

From the world of form
the boat floats on towards formlessness.

It crosses and passes through
numerous cities,
mountaintops,
planes,
depths,
and caves.
It moves on towards the unknown.

In a corner of Your boat,
in seclusion,
You provided a place for me.

Absorbing me in Your name,
You make me float on.

By series of Your name and beauty,
You filled the world.

O formless one,
of Your game of beauty,
I do not understand anything.

Wherever I thought to be an end,
I find the picture of a new beginning beyond it.

A beginning comes after ends.
Its cycle goes up high,
kissing the sky.

When thinking of its best,
I lose myself.
I find innumerable excellent valuables,
constantly appearing thereafter.

You came,
removed all darkness,
kindled light
and pulled the distant ones close.

You destroyed the dirt,
You loved
and awakened hope
in desperate hearts.

The flowers did not bloom
due to fear of darkness.

The bees did not come,
feeling the absence of honey.
You bathed all in effulgence
and brought about beauty.

An era of light came after darkness,
heavenly effulgence spread all over.

What did You do
to rain such flow of nectar?

who is He who travels on?

I thought I would not listen,
yet, I secretly hear,
and cannot refrain from listening.

How many seconds and moments passed?
The sun gradually set in the horizon.

The evening deepens all over.
The birds return to their families with chirping.
The golden paddy fields sink into darkness.

Alas, You still do not come.

Holding the path of light,
You came with stern hands
and a resonant voice.

You removed all darkness.
The darkness which all thought to be permanent.
The agony that remained concentrated on everyone’s head.
You removed it all and bestowed love.

You crushed the stones on my path.
The fire of vivacity that all had thought to be extinguished,
the forest fire that had gone lost in the past,

You aroused it all with care,
in Your divine game.

Several lives passed by wastefully,

By Your grace,
I have today attained a human body.

I could not find Your equivalent.

You gave light and air,
food and water.
You gave shelter.

Whatever I did not want,
that too,
You liberally bestowed on me,
without leaving scope for misery to arise.

You are present in both air and fire.
You are the very basis of life.
You are in intellect and in intuition.
You are the root of humanity.

The very small and the great,
none is lost.
All have a place at Your feet.

You filled the earth with happy sweetness,

Crying hearts started humming with joy,

Fragrance floats into the floral garden.

smile in the full moon light.

I understand
that my prolonged night of inertia,
is now over,
and that after much time,
a new morning arrived.

The dawn,
in a new hue,
has enchanted me.

The all engulfing night,
that lasted for ages,
is gone.

The lighting,
that shook my heart,
has passed.

The noisy creatures of darkness
have moved away.

The venom spitting serpent
does no longer pollute the air
and its hoods kill no more.

In the radiant light of joy,
the cakor bird of my mind
remains fully satisfied.

Today,
on this golden and effulgent morning,
the birds sing with a sweet voice,
and ask about Your whereabouts.

The dark night of inertia disappeared.
The dark fog vanished.
The dark curtain was removed.

The kadamba pollen spreads out into the sky.
The frenzied peacock dances
to the rhythm of dambaru.
There is no trace of disappointment whatsoever left.

-----------------------------------

O, Lord! Where are You?
In this golden crimson dawn, where are You?
The birds are chirping,
the inertness of the night is gone.

The enveloping black fog has faded away.
Darkness has dispersed.
The pollen of kadamba flowers
is floating towards the blue sky.

In the rhythm of the dambaru drum,
the cheerful peacocks are dancing in ecstasy.
There is no place for despair in this beautiful morning.
Where are You? O, where are You?

For You,
I threaded a garland of malati flowers.

For You, I rehearsed my melody.
Absorbing my mind in You,
I decorated my altar with flowers.
I cried continuously to attain You.

Whatever I obtained
was due to Your grace only.

What I did not get,
was because You did not want it so.

You make me move ahead
for the benefit of my welfare only.

You never think of damaging anyone.
I have therefore attuned my heart to Your rhythm.

You gave me intellect,
intuition and discriminating capacity.

You raised my mind,
piercing through all seven strata of existence.

It is Your incomparable love
that has been kissing my cheeks life after life.

You relieve me from all fears and doubts.
Hence,
I move towards You,
crushing all obstacles.

----------------------------------

For You I have woven a malatii garland.
Only for You I rehearsed my songs.
Only for You I decorated myself with flowers,
I cry and cry to get You close to me.

Whatever I have attained, I attained by Your grace.
And what I did not attain,
was because You didn't want it for me.

You led me on for the sake of my own welfare.
You never thought of harming me.
My heart became attuned to Your rhythm.

You gave me conscience, intellect and intuition.
You elevated my mind above the seven worlds.

My matchless love for You will never end.
It will remain life after life,
and lead me unto welfare.

You are the assuager of all my fears and doubts.
Crushing all obstacles on my way, I shall reach You.

of those lost days of arrival in my heart.

I remain awakened
with ointment applied on my eyes,
ever waiting for Your return.

In the shivering cold of the northern wind,
in the intensely burning heat of summer,
that carries hot winds,
in all conditions,
You remain.

You are in my heart,
You are in all desires and attainments,
You are at all times.

In the awakening of the golden clouds
of autumn evenings,
in dew wet nights,
in the wind that carries coolness, in dreams,
I attain Your touch in waves of shiver.

spring has come.

Creating vibrations in the blood,
it sings its song in a new tune.

The red colour of the bunches of new leaves
on the kinshuka tree
today charms in the ashoka groves.
The bees have become restless.

Who is He, arising in my mind,
colouring this festivity
in a seven coloured flow of water?

----------------------------------

Spring has come by giving a glimpse of warmth.
It sung a new melody, creating fresh vibrations in my blood.

Today the birds on the leaves and flowers
are charmingly chirping.
On the branches of the ashoka tree the bees are buzzing.

The colour of spring is arising in my mind.
It became coloured with all the seven colours.

The day has come
when for You,
all doors opened up.

None remains
without food nor clothes,
when, for You,
free distribution prevails.

None remains
orphan and distressed any longer.

All attain His love equally.
In the shelter of humanity,
none has to lie under trees.

No more tolerating of pangs
of hunger and thirst,
no more of the call of distress
of the exploited.

The darkness of avidya is no more,
for, divinity has arisen

In the garden of my mind,
a thief came,
who is not getting caught.

He took away my entire honey,
without being bothered by obstructions whatsoever.

Day and night this thief is present,
hiding within the pollen of flowers.

While trying to hold that thief,
my mind becomes absorbed in the great cosmos.

This thief knows how to love,
and destroys the darkness of my mind.

The sweet smile of that thief
radiates throughout the world.

You hide in my mind.
My mind is unable to locate You.

O object of my meditation,
You exist in all the minds of the world.

Places of pilgrimage are unable to bind You.

The prayers and the elucidation of Your attributes
fail to attune themselves to Your melody.

O unperceivable Lord beyond the world,
You swing the illusory creation.

You are present in all living beings,
You exist in all thought processes.

You remain expressed equally
within the minutest
as well as within the great cosmos.

You are the ever new divinity
that spreads from a blade of grass
to the greatest of beings.

In Your mind,
the intellect of minds becomes lost.

I loved You.
Why, I did not know then.

You remain intoxicated in innumerable colours
and with these,
You coloured my mind.

These colours,
I was unable to wipe out back then.

I used to cry in a dark house,
thinking I had no one of my own.

From the sky of effulgence
You announced aloud:
"I am here, why fear?"

I forgot that You
do not entertain any suppression of feelings.

I got up during the daylight
and hid my face in the evening.

You held my face with both hands.
You lifted up
and told me:

"I am here,
look at me
and understand me".

But even then,
I failed to recognise You.

Charging the world with vitality,
and singing the melody of the new,
move ahead!

Move forward,
and merge into cosmic tranquility.

Accepting the reality of the world,
valuing the psychic needs,
keep watching
and understand the grace of the Great.

Rejecting the old and worn out superficial skin,
open both your eyes in new illumination,
accept the ever effulgent consciousness.

With the help of illumination,
peep through the adjoining worlds,
and announce your call,
extending both your hands today,
to welcome all.

At the end of the ocean of knowing and not knowing,
I attained You.

Breaking the bondage of beyond and within,
I held Your heart.

I did not know philosophy,
neither had I affection in my heart.

What is essence and what is superfluous;
I could understand only by Your grace.
That mercy of Yours, I have now attained.

Light came in the night,
destroying darkness to almost nil.

In that isolated and silent great night,
I kindled the lamp of memory.

Let me come close to You.

I possess knowledge of neither duality nor non duality.
I know only that those two holy feet are there.

What do You do with those,

Tell me why this should be tolerated.

As an atom of Yours,

Accepting this simple truth,

I love the distant star,
yet, I am unable to find it close.
I do not know why.

In my mind,
the hope to attain Your love was awake,
yet, nothing came.
Why? I do not know.

I decorated my house
and created songs for You.
I threaded a garland with my mental flowers.

Probably You would come only
when forgetting Your path,
perhaps also, You would not forget.

Perhaps, there was some lapse
remaining on my part,
there might have been some ego in my love.

And yet, You did not bestow on me
even a wee bit of Your love,
to rectify that mistake of mine.

I have loved You since hundreds of ages,
with innumerable colours and forms,
and with innumerable impulses.

I continued expressing to You
innumerable events of mine
that had been kept suppressed in my heart.

The dialogue of colourful torches continued
with the attachment of hope for success.

I continued singing to You innumerable songs,
of tearful love,
of sweet memories,
of moonlit nights,
all in the tune of fragrance.

The light spreading moonlight,

The ocean of effulgence dances with rhythm.
O unknown friend,
You continue pouring sweetness into my life,
You continue calling only me.

How can I possibly bear this separation?

My home became dark,
the Lord of effulgence did not come to this day.

The buds of my flower could not bloom,
their hearts were not filled with honey.

The carpet of grass in my floral garden
could not survive due to shortage of water.

Due to intense heat and strong hot winds,
rainfall could not take place.

I could not sing the melody that I had rehearsed,
and hence, I could not travel on a fixed path.

Nothing can happen without Your grace.

I could not understand
that His grace would not shower.

The memory of the affection

You removed the violent storm
and bestowed the beauty of a blue and clear sky.

On the dust filled path,
You placed a green carpet of grass.
And on the pebble laden path,
You created a floral garden.

You came,
You smiled
and softened butter-like my heart

All the hills and pits

Onto the world of rough sand,

by the wavy water,
filled with the sweetness
of forestial fragrance.

With exquisit sweetness,
decorating and beautifying all,
the earth rejoices,
like a fairy who dances on fearlessly in the forest.

The green shrubs of nature,
the enchanted bunches of creepers,
sing in unison single-mindedly.

This morning,
in the open sky,
I shall convey to You,
the feelings residing in my heart.

I shall speak without hesitation.
O stealer of mind
and lamp of my love!

I now understand to whom does belong
the sweetness that I find in flowers.

The beauty that shines in lotus flowers
is nothing but the reflection of Your own form.

The sweet tinkling sound of viinas,
is a gift of love by You.
All auspicious and pious experiences
remain absorbed in Your sweetness.

You came,
O embodiment of grace!

With soft sentiments
and a gently vibrating sky,
I keep listening to the message of Your Varabhaya Mudra.

For You, nothing like far and near exists.
All are Your equal and own.

You ever continue sending out Your sweet call
with Your enchanting flute and a sweet smile.

Day and night,
You are awake,
ever remaining close to my head,
O omniscient one.

I beg for Your grace,
and I know,
that I shall surely attain Your mercy.

You reside each and every moment.

You secretly sing Your song,
eternally engrossed in melodies and tunes.

Small and big are all Your own.
Some are new, some are old.

Taking touch of all hearts,
You scatter heavenly colours.

Your heart is full of affection.
It is pure and pious,
straightforward and incomparable.

Filling the world with tunes,
You dance on in flashes.

O deer eyed one,
why are your eyes full of tears?

You picked up flowers,
you rehearsed your melody,
and yet, He still did not come.

On lips coloured red with betel leaves
why does your voice faint?

Tonight, under the impulse of what disheartenment,
why have you not dressed up in your evening dress?

You have so long been looking at the sky
that the garland on your chignon became loosened.

With each rhythm of specific mandakanta beats,
you do not entertain enthusiasm,
you did not blow your evening conch.

Krsna, Murari,
to this forgotten land of Vraja,
come again!

Today, the Yamuna river
does not flow a reverse flow.
A sweet flute is not being there played any longer.

Below the kadamba tree,
the children of Vraja today do not play with You.

Due to fear that their butter might be stolen,
the milkmaids no longer cover their pots.

And yet, even today,
in their hearts,
they firmly know
that You belong to them only.

On the banks of the Yamuna river,
in the markets of beauty,
within the arbour of tamal trees,
on the path of Gokul,
the milkmaids have kept their face covered
to think about You only.

During this spring,

secretly come to Vrindavana?

The aspirations of the milkmaids
for Your return and love,
occurred in mind.

Carrying the flow of water in hands,
scattering about the nectar of the heart,
with rhythms attuned to the arbour of tamal trees
they dance on, this morning.

Dispersing Yourself,
You brought the colour festival of Vrindavana
to the minds of this world.

The agonies and inner feelings of the milkmaids,
came into mind in a new way.

The river Yamuna is flowing a reverse flow
and is becoming restless with outburst.

The peacock with golden hair went away.
No one knows where.

They all spread love in abundance,
in arbours
and in each corner of mind.

dance overjoyed in Your ideation.

The inhabitants of Vraja
even today,
full of love,
take Your name
in search of the butter stealer,
with hearts full of expression.

He was the star of the eyes.
By losing Kanu of Vraja,
Vraja lost its jewel.

When listening to His enchanting flute,
the dust of Vraja starts smiling,
and the water of the Yamuna river
and the hills of Govardhan,
start dancing with quiver.

At the time of churning curd,
the milkmaids bow their heads with love.
They think of the moment
when they would see their Gopal
with overjoyed minds.

A lost melody

made it dance in joy.

annihilating the demon of staticity.

You taught human beings,
provided light to them
and moved forward with all.

In Your song,
my mind turns plentiful.

Today,
sitting at the base of Your altar,
in an environment surrounded by shade,
I express my revered salutation to You.
For, in it lies the seedling of love.

You gave language to ideas.
You infused melody to language.

Suradas, you are like a mighty god.
You have annihilated the demon of staticity.

Human beings were degenerating
and the light of progress was fading.
You showed the way
and led them towards effulgence.

My mind overflows with your rapturous music.
Sitting in this shady bower,
I offer my revered salutation to you.

You have poured life's nectar
into the smilingly resonating earth.

The water in the river overflows
to attain You.

With Your song,
it rushes on towards the ocean
ideating on You only.

The birds have attuned themselves to Your melody.
Your song resonates in both isolation and uproar.

And the peacock also does not remain alone.
It dances with joy, absorbed in You.

Due to the fragrance of pollen of the parijat flower,
the honeybee has become intoxicated with mental honey.
It goes on humming,

listening to the rain of Your mercy.

In the sweet and enchanting bondage of our hearts
the distinction between trees and sand ceases to exist.

There is only one sky,
only one sun
and only one moon,
only one bugle,

With the festive one,
my mind rushes forward,

It performs all actions
in all tunes of life,

The greenness here turns dry,
the earth becomes coloured in the colour of a bear.

It dances on in the blue sky,

The birds nests become surrounded by fatherly clouds,
and chirping sounds fill sweetness into minds.

In this illusive garden
my mind is ever alert with consciousness.
For, human affection displays itself each moment.

You came.

With pink feet,
with beautifully decorated eyes
and an enchanting face,
You smiled.

I had no one close to me
to call my own.
All remained busy with their own preoccupations.

You came and sat close.
You spoke to me with a sweet tongue:

"Whatever lights in the world
may become extinguished,
and even should the stream of love and affection
become dried up,
I shall always be there. Do not fear,
do not hesitate or become confused."

Speaking thus,
You removed all of my painful burden.

You silently came
and sang Your song.

There is no end to sweetness,
and hence,
I do not find an end to songs either.

Filling my heart with the tune of dance
Your nectar resounds.

You poured life,

I lost myself to You,
even carrying a high ego.

This ego of mine made me blind
and shut all my windows.

I thought of my own affairs only,
I remained misguided in darkness.

There was no light,
no wind.
In a small house,
one is unable to see oneself in the darkness.

In that environment,
I was alone,
enduring my self created pain.

You remained awake,
day and night,
for the sake of my welfare,
like a polar light.

Those who forget You,
become lost in darkness.

On the coastline of rivers,
they wish to attain permanency.

Coming and going,
this play goes on,
from beginningless to endless time.

Those under Your firm shelter attain fearlessness,
all others have to float on.

O dearest one,
whatever I may consider mine,
becomes lost in voidness,
like a mirage,
as all comes and goes for moments only,
in the realm of Your imagination.

You responded to my call.

Remaining deaf for a long time,
You heard the call of my heart.

The tender leaves matured.
And whatever I now see,
is that those trees
have shaken stones.

In the end, there appeared Your grace.
You came and filled my heart
with the bliss of attainment.

I am unable to understand
how much of this illusive divine game You know.

I silently look for You in wonder.
Only You know the glory of Your divine game.
You ever flood my mind and heart.

Shining as the bright effulgence of love,
You remain enthroned in my heart.

Your holy, reddish and beautiful feet
are worshipped with joy by millions of suns.

I admit that You are beyond perception and mind;
I also know that You are beyond logic and reasoning.

By Your mercy, what would be impossible?
Therefore, remain with me in all my actions.

As incomparable sweetness,
and like a bud of magnolia flowers,
You exist in the deepest recesses.

I pray at Your feet.
Please bestow at least so much mercy
that my mind
may ever dance to Your ideation.

The chariot of effulgence moves on.

Touching many a heart and heaven,
carrying many a shade of affection,
snatching away much love,
it moves on, continuing its eternal journey.

This cart never heeds to any forbidding,
it never pauses nor stops,
it never retreats back in fear,
it moves on always.

Bathing all in the effulgence of love,
spreading out both hands
to welcome all
unto the path of righteousness,
attuning all
to the rhythm, melody and tune of songs,
in the upsurge of the ocean of nectar.

remain ever immersed in my eyes!
With affectionate love and sweet sincerity,
fill my innermost recess.

I have loved You since ages unknown,
offering to You my entire existence.
You reside in my mind,
as does fragrance in the sandal breeze.

You are the pole star of my life,
I cannot live for even a moment without You.

Like the deer attracted by the illusive and divine mirage,
in my spring season,

O Lord,
remain ever absorbed in my eyes.

Tell me where my Krsna is!

In the bushes of madhavii flowers,
in the grove of niipa trees,
I searched for Him everywhere.

Destitute of roaming,
I continue crying,
tears flow from my eyes due to intense love.
Yet, still He is not attained.

I searched Him on the banks of the Yamuna river,
in the smiling blue water,
full of impulse.
I searched for a glimpse of His.

My days pass by like a flying swan,
drifting along to inertial melodies.

--------------------------------

Tell me, where is my Krsna?
Tell me, I beg You, tell me.

I did not see Him anywhere,
not in the madhavii arbour nor in the kadamba grove.

Wandering with tears and an afflicted heart,
I have searched for Him,
In exuberant joy I break into uncontrollable tears,
Yet He does not come within my reach.

Seeing His shadow
on the shimmering blue waters of the Yamuna river,
I searched for Him along the riverbanks with all my heart.
My days drift away on a drowsy melody of a swan's wings.

sitting by the path of Your arrival.

With a mind fully absorbed in You,
I contemplate You day and night,
in all my actions.

Whatever sound I may hear,
I take it as Your footstep.
Whatever image appears before my eyes,
I take it as Yours.

In Your divine game,
whatever little I understand,
is that You reside deep within my mind.

Even should You not come close,
no harm,
I find bliss thinking of You.

Sitting in meditative posture,
I long to enjoy this bliss forever.

I love You
and I remain engrossed in Your thought
day and night.

My survival is marked
with Your golden effulgence.

In pain and in pleasure,
With unblinking eyes,
I look unto You.

With Your strength,
I push the wheels of Your cart.
You lie covered within both softness and hardness.

With the ego of action
You drew a curved line into my mind.
Within Your existence
I remain supported,
even should I be far and alone.

Is this a burning reaction (of a past deed)
or is this my destiny (writing on the forehead)?

O kind Lord,
what sort of game
do You keep playing with me?

You gave me
shelter, food and much more
that I cannot even recall.

You provided a mother's love and affection to me,
You gave me protection at a father’s chest,
You brought to me helping brothers and companions,
and gave me life long knowledge.

You gave me the touch of love,
the pleasure of moonlit nights,
the delight of spring,
and rhythmic melodies.

You showed me the ultimate destination
and brought about absolute attainment.
You removed bondages and doubts
and made me fearless.
O divine placer!

O Lord,
You came in the play of melody,
singing songs along the way.

There was none to welcome You,
all were in deep sleep,
even while it was morning time.

You did not want any welcome or any garland.
There were no devotees to surround You.
There was a smile on Your face,
a melody and a flute.

You came with rhythm in a beautiful form.
With the tinkling sound of ankle bells,
that emanated from Your sweet feet,
You took Your place in the depth of my mind.

You came in surprise
into my mental Vridavana,
and secretly applied ointment onto my eyes,
to open them
and to fill my heart with affection.

Who has taken away your necklace?
With tearful eyes,

Your throat seems suffocated;
your voice does not articulate itself properly either.

And yet, suppressing your emotions with both your hands,
whose melody do you practice with all your heart?

Who is that enchanter whose sweet flute
snatched away the smile from your lips?

Sitting on the balcony,
with which thread of love
and with what form and colour
do you arrange your tresses?

If You had not loved me or smiled softly,
then, to attain You,
I would not have frenzied.

Why did You love me
and why did You smile,
to delusively bind me within You?
Why did You play Your divine game with me?

How much of this divine game do You know?
How many sports with colours and forms
flow in Your stream?

You come close in Your divine play,
and on coming,
You sit in my mind.
Then, You go far away.
You have no idea of my pain.

Some people merge themselves in light
while others lose themselves in darkness.

Some people long to attain You
while others desire Your presentations.

Some people rush unto accumulated effulgence
in scattered illumination.
Some keep crying,
in ruined bamboo groves,
carrying the skeletons of the past.

Some people announce You as essence,
and in their heart, love only You.
And some,
from within the effulgent fountain of Your grace,
light candles of logic and reasoning.

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

By constantly pleasing You,
I move forward on Your path.

Other than Your thought and awareness,
no other way exists for me to take.

I remain intoxicated in the song of Your name
and attain a wee bit of Your grace by meditating on You.

Listening, contemplating and concentrating on You,
I understand that there exists nothing other than You.

In songs, dances and sighs of joy,
in pain, injury, worry and happiness,
in the heat of the desert
and in the coldness of mountains,
in everything,
I find You.

O effulgent Lord,
You are the
nondiminishing, nondecaying, and unfathomable
radiating light.
O luminous one!

In the pollen of flowers,
in the radiance of the kinshuka flowers,
You remain glorified.
O merciful one!

You resonate in the rumbling of clouds,
and with rhythm and song,
You remain spread out
over the mental world.

In the rhythm of high tides,
and on the bottom of the ocean,
You resonate,
O one full of waves!

You consider neither beginning nor end,
You are the long and eternal sadhana.

O Lord,
my love remains ever bonded with You.
Under the shelter of Your grace,
my life goes on.

Right from my morning awakening,
my day flows in Your wave.
As a machine prompted by Your mantra,
I keep performing Your work according to Your instruction.

When You call,
I follow and fill the whole world with songs.

With the tune of Your flute,
I keep my mind vibrated,
in the Vrindavana, so full of feelings.

want to touch with their head
the dust that was touched by Your feet.

O Krsna,
I love You,
I laugh and cry at Your name.

All flora and fauna,

dances to Your name in enchantment.

The facts that cannot be told,
the pain that cannot be borne,
linger on in a Vrindavana without Mohan,
who is to be enthroned in the mind.

O dear one,
I find You in songs
and long to attain You
in my heart and in life.

I want to feel You in my mind,
I long to attain You in the tears of my love.

In the fragrance of flowers of this external world,
in the smile of stars

and in the sandal breeze,
in the rays of the moon,
within my mental Vrindavana,
and in the tinkling of my viina,
I constantly seek You.

You reside in mental sweetness,
You remain hidden within intuitive knowledge,
unknown to me,
in isolated silence,
in the depth of my heart,
You have taken Your seat.

You came in springtime
colouring my mind with sweetness.

That colour can never be wiped off,
not even on a painful summer's night.

That colour remains in sky and air,
in greenish beauty
and in crimson light.

That colour remains in the fragrance of spring,
in the tender heaven of my heart.

That colour can never be lost
to cruel and merciless hot winds.

That colour will ever stay with me,
as polestar of my eyes.

Wiping away the darkness of fog,
removing all traces of disappointment,
carrying the lamp of hope in hand,
He came at night.

His eyes were filled with love,
His face was illuminated with effulgence.

Silently, leaving His cyclic moving on the path,
He stopped at my door.
The sky was loaded with clouds,
the firmament of my mind was filled with ideation.

Thinking of Him,
tears accumulated in my eyes.
On that evening of the rainy season,
the magnolia flowers
spread fragrance into the air.

Looking at the moon that hid behind the clouds,
the peacock started dancing.

On the dust of His feet,
mercy prevailed,
in my mind,
delusion aroused.
Into this delusion,
by the touch of that dust,
vibrations sprang forth.

By an unknown attraction

You loved me
but I did not love You.

You removed my darkness
but I didn’t want to move towards effulgence.

Into the fragrance of flowers,
into the expression of life’s vitality,
You poured vibrations,
like an intoxicating spring.

You coloured me with hue
and poured beauty onto me,
but I didn’t want to take this beauty.

You told me not to fear
as You possessed Varabhaya
and hence, I could attain fearlessness under Your shelter.

You furthermore told me to open my eyes
and see and learn in a new way.
And yet, I still did not open my eyes to see.

had become dumb,
found new support.

To them, You gave provision for movement.

smile.

In the moist wind that darkens the sky,
in the resonating melody of lightning and thunder,

appear with grand adornment.

No one knows when
the exchange of hearts between You and me,
took place.

This affection and eternal love,
is unknown to history.

Why are your eyes overflowing with tears?
Who brought to you today this untimely cloud?

Why is light scattered all over your cheeks?
By whose love does it brighten?

Carrying a load of fragrant nectar in your throat
and the weight of a devotee’s love,
You move on far.

Who is it that keeps calling you pauselessly?
There is no end to the path that leads unto Him.
Whoever it is you want,
He is immeasurable and endless.

Leaving behind everything,
why do you put on the garb of a renunciate?

O perfectly pure one,
You ever remain as the constant ideation of all.

The sky envelops this small earth.
Yet this earth, though small, is not meagre.

In an ocean,
innumerable water drops lie.
Taking together all,
only the ocean is recognised.

The bud of flower,
the particle of sand,
remain on the side of the path,
with no one ever thinking of them.
Yet, the fragrance that fills this dreamy earth
is made from them.
Their role is nondiminishing.

In the new period,
in the history of the new,
I shall create an environment of affection.

The sweet story of the minds
of those who have done
and of those who now continue to do,
remains in dumb mouths.

Who is that loving entity,

and is recognised by the heaven of your heart?

A single moon in the blue sky,

The tree, full of flowers of incomparable nectar,

I have forgotten
since when
I have been loving You.

Merging my colour into Yours,
I create a new world.

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

at dusk,
it goes down into unknown territory.

Coming and going,
desire and achievement,
all are due to You only.
This is what I have come to understand.

You exist,
I too exist,
but whereas You will continue to exist,
I won't.

This little "I" of mine will remain within You
for infinite time.

This eternal truth and absolute reality,
I have now come to understand deep within my heart.

You are in rhythm,
You are in resonance,
You are in dance
and You are in song.

You are in disappointment and in despondence.
You are also in the wounded feelings of the heart.

You are in the arid desert,
in drying rivers,
and in green trees.

You are in vibrant colours,
in affectionate language,
and in the call of the early dawn.
There is no place where You do not exist.

Whatever I attain is all due to Your grace.
In every breath and contemplation,
I realise Your grace.

I offer unto You my hundreds of salutations!
O ever great one with the auspicious vow!

There is no pride in You,
nor injuries and agony,
nor ego.

You are the basis of all auspicious ideas.
You are the realisation of all hopes and loves.

I want Your shelter and Your feet.
O ever bright and unattached one!

You filled everyone's heart individually
by Your otah yoga
and lovingly look after all
by Your protah yoga.

Your love and causeless grace,
ever awaken shiverings in me.

That sweet memory
keeps returning onto my eyelids,
appearing effulgence-like.

Beyond darkness,
that unknown meeting awakens love
at every moment,
on each layer of mine.

That illumination-filled samadhi,
resembles a vast ocean of effulgence.

With each rhythm,

Your sweet song returns.

O mystic traveler,
losing Your way,
You came to my house.

After such a long time
You heard my call.

I called You mornings and evenings,
amidst works
and cloudy, dark nights.

I called You on winter nights,
amidst the fragrance of the night queen flower.
I called You during spring months,
in the bright moonlight.

My days pass by, drifting away on a swan's journey,
and yet, You do not come to my home, alas.

Innumerable coloured dreams of the new awakened in me.
Many a tear floated my heart.

Yet, Your footsteps were not to be heard.

My mental bee speaks out buzzing:
"the one who You want,
is coming for You."

In order to see Him this spring,
the palash tree utterly intoxicates with its red flowers.

Playing the flute in a sweetness absorbed tune,
You came with each rhythm.

With each melody,
into the canopy of my mind,
in Your illusive game,
You flowed nectar.

With shining ankle bells,
and the enthusiasm of smiles,
You came into the temple of my mind,
with sweet colour.

With new,
previously unenjoyed,
charming postures,
You provided vibration
to the eternal tempo.

With unobstructed and grand effulgence,
the peacock of my mind rushes on dancingly.

All thoughts and ideations,
all language and expressions
become lost in the infinite,
never seeming to reach the end of beauty.

All my penance appears to come to an end,
all my earnest desires appear to be fulfilled.

The morning sky is more colourful today
and a sweet flute sound resonates in my mind.

The subtlety of drowsiness has vanished.
The divine trumpet resounds.

My mind rushes out far, further and further.
My overflowing river dances smilingly in its waters.
My overwhelmed heart sings Your praise,

decorated in a new adornment.

and arrows in hands,
that immortal history and everlasting glory,
remains flowing in memory.

There is no scope to pause,

The stories of the times of Kuruksetra and Dvaepayan
ever resonate full of song.

Kuruksetra is the place where the Mahabharata war was fought 3500 years ago.

Dvaepayan is the author of the Mahabharata and the person who first wrote down the ancient Vedas. He also wrote 18 Puranas. His full name is Krsna Dvaepayana Vyasa but he is also know by the name of Veda Vyasa.

arises in the eastern sky.

The night's cimmerian darkness
hides in fear and shyness.

Cast off the worn out staticity and dogma of the past
and embrace the effulgence of newness.

The divine entity with the divine effulgence
has come today to Your doorstep in new adornment.

The creatures of darkness have retreated.
The use of force is of no avail.

Remembering Him, do His work.

my drowsiness is now broken,
I shall henceforth move on Your path.

I shall spread the moonlight's smile into people's mind.
I shall apply soothing balm on the pain of the distressed
and fill the disappointed with hope.

I shall undergo trouble for the benefit of all.
Whatever storm may cross my way,
I shall encounter with firm hands.

The dirt that today lies in my mind,
I shall remove by bathing in effulgence.
I shall colour You each and every moment.

The great sky longs to touch the mud of the earth
and the earth's mud longs to attain the blue sky.

Parama Purusa loves the microcosm
and the microcosm loves that Parama Purusa.

The love between the microcosm and the Great
has lingered on era after era.
It remains alive every second and moment,
in form, taste and colour.
It was, it is and it will forever remain.

In history, within the core of hearts,
it displays itself as beauty.
The bondage of love remains,
while distances break down.

O Lord,
come closer and still closer,
I long to see You each and every moment.

From the world of effulgence,
come down to this material world!
Merely staying in the world of effulgence will not do.

This earth carries love for You in its heart.
Indeed, it does not know anything other than You.
Lakes, rivers,
mountains, forests and gardens,
all constantly remember You.

In You, day and night,
lies their lifelong longing.
Millions of human beings,
of animals and birds,
mentally and from the depth of their heart,
consider You their own.

In all this, Your real worship displays itself.

Come onto the seat of my heart.

Era after era,
knowingly and unknowingly,
my love has been calling You.

Lifetime after lifetime has passed.
Death after death has taken place.
My love never diminishes.
It is eternal in contemplation.

The thread of love
with which You tied me,

You reside within my eyes,
that is why You are not to be seen externally.
You keep Yourself hidden.

You are extremely great.
All others are but mere atoms.
Under Your shelter,
everything is attained.

It is due to Your grace and inspiration only
that one is able to move along Your path.

O divinity,
from time immemorial,
You remain with immeasurable force,
in the seven strata of existence.

O most beloved and closest one,
stay inside as well as outside me,
stay in both pain and pleasure.

------------------------------------

You are in the midst of my eyes.
That is why my eyes cannot see You.
You lie hidden in Your own form.

You are the great consciousness in every atom.
You are everyone's shelter.
By Your Grace, by Your inspiration,
I proceed forward towards You.

You are ever present, O Lord.
You are the master of the seven realms.
O, nearest and dearest one,
remain with me always.
Stay with me in pain and in pleasure,
in the inner and in the external worlds.

The nectar of satisfaction

What a heavenly melody did You play,
this golden morning,
amidst bright sun rays?

From beyond the eastern sky,
with a reddish glow,
You provided peace to restless hearts.

Whatever obstructions existed between You and me,
were removed with one smile.
You are extremely great
and I extremely small.
Between us two, You brought closeness.

No opportunity arises
for sitting down to cry
nor halting to rest.
Neither of the two is right.

With each rhythm of Yours,
with an impulse beyond thought,
You take me along Your path.

Many a storm and typhoon has passed.
And still, I did not whither away

when You anew showed me the way.

I wanted momentary happiness,
and You provided to me eternal bliss.
Sitting in my floral garden,
I used to wastefully pick thorns.

Removing the external petals of my flower,
You poured honey into my mouth.
Bathing me in fragrance,
You threaded a floral garland.

Sitting amidst burning charcoal,
I used to lay covered in blackness.
Changing my outlook,
You illuminated me with diamond-like radiation.
And, removing all my imperfections and shortcomings,
You made me Your own.

I am a rose bud
and in my eyes,
the search for the movement
and the flow of life reflects.

My life is not a free flow.
I am a rose flower,
covering my face in shyness.
I think of You,
of Your attributes,
and eagerly look upwards.

Holding the earth with rhythm and song,
I lose myself.

Within me, sweetness prevails,
in my sky, the moon is present.
With both sweetness and my moon,
I keep pouring forth a flow of nectar,
silently with love,
into the life of this earth.

You came, flooding the stream of life.
You came, removing my agony,
You came, filling my heart
with the sandal breeze of tranquility.

Whatever was or is present,
it all dances and revolves around You.
For You, I fill my pot from the ocean of love
and watch all surround You in dance.

O my deity,
my forever mine,
millions of salutation at Your feet
I offer You.

You are speed,
You are acceleration,
You are light,
and the root of all existence.

You are the moon of my internal sky.
Whatever I am acquainted with
fails to be compared to You.

You are singular without a second,
You are the sweetness to a barren life.

O unblemished one,
ever awakened,
You remain the eternal companion of the lonely.

Why did You forget me?

Showing me the full moon only momentarily,
You hid it behind the clouds.

On blooming flower petals in spring,
why did You cast an intense sun,
letting them whither away?

After bestowing a touch of sweet sandal breeze,
You give extreme summer heat.

On the clear and blue winter sky,
wherefrom did the storm arise?

Over the soft and cool fragrance of the shefali flower,
You poured burning lightning

and went away.

O Lord,
in Your universe,
there is shelter for all.

There is light and shade for all,
irrespective of where one exists.

Alongside rose flowers, thorns grow.
On fountains of streams, pebbles emerge.
Along with the lotus flower, mud is present.
The rabbit remains ever fearful.
And ice boulders always surround
the silent and clean appearance of mountain peaks.

O God, respond,
break the prison
and provide baths of effulgence to everyone.

You came after long waiting,
and removed all my dirt.

You wiped out my entire darkness
and awakened attraction for dharma

All inertia that unknowingly accumulated

vanished by Your touch
within the fraction of a moment.

You made me float

and went away without informing me.

when You pulled me unto You and uplifted me.

My home lay torn and worn out.
I had nothing to eat,
neither did I have intellect nor discriminating capacity.
You gave and taught me everything.

I did not understand
the capability and right of human beings.
I never performed
spiritual practice to attain You.

You taught me intuitional practice
and gave me attainment.
I did not have the dignity of a human being;
My ground was bitter and wet.
You poured nectar on me,
and made me speak,
You lifted me onto Your lap.

I wanted to go to where no one dies due to lack of food,
and suffocates due to lack of service from others.

I wanted to go to where everyone gets entry
to the kingdom of real spiritual knowledge.
I used to dream of such a place.

I wanted to go to where all thoughts remain full of love
and internal affection abounds.

I wanted to go to where all receive shelter to protect their heads,
to where water satisfies the heart with comfort.

I used to sketch such a place with colour.

The fountain rumblingly dances on,
and, drawing a silver line,
it flows through the mountains into the forest.

It does not heed to whatsoever obstruction.
It does not become bound by whatsoever bondage.

It rushes up and down with pleasing imagination.
It rushes through the trees.

Carrying the impulse of the open and matted hair
of Dhurjati's head,
it flows on.

All along each path,
saturated with tears of love,
it seeks liberation.

You went up high,

Looking ever upwards,

This morning
during a time of loneliness,
it happened to my mind.

On this light radiating morning,
on the mountain peak,
we saw each other.

In that isolated arbour of niipa shrubs,
sweetness prevailed in flowers and minds.

In that sweet garden of my mind,
with the resonance of attainment,
I tied myself with the knot of love.

Today, my flower is left stamped and crushed,
it lies buried under a heap of snow.
My sweet garden has lost its colour and beauty.

And yet, in the mental arbour of my garden,
even today, secretly,
Your love lingers on, full to the brim.

I could not find the destination of Your path,
and hence, I could not move unto You.

The introduction between You and me
was left covered in darkness,
and hence, I could not locate my ultimate aim.

I thought about why I could not understand,
that perhaps I did not have love nor affection in my fate.

Full of neglect and overlook,
I did not give due value to life.

Many a spring came into life.
Many a winter evening poured its colour on me,
yet, I kept myself aloof
and could not drench myself in colour.

is full of darkness-removing light.

Light is present in the world of knowledge,
and borders both ignorance and avidya.

In human minds,
devilishness perishes

Amidst piles of bricks and stones,
my mind sinks down into an intensely dark well.

I can see neither green grass
nor the form of a leaf.

All alone amidst a crowd of matter,
how do I find relief?

Human beings move like machines,
with "earning money"
as seemingly greatest principle.

It is very difficult to surmount
the opposition of artificiality
that plays in obscure and diverse ways.

I don't like this so-called and artificial civilisation.
I don't appreciate its cunningness.

I just want to glide in the free world
with the simplicity of a bird.

I want more free air,
a star studded blue sky
and an internal firmament of mind full of intuition,
that will remove all complications.

I want to keep the Supreme Entity in my mind always,
and by His nectar-absorbed blessing,

I shall continue to apply the whiteness of sandal on all dirt.

Today, the light of the new has come.
By Your arrival, my life was filled with warmth.

All the reactive momenta of dogma
that were created and accumulation
through knowledge, place, time and person,
floated away.

My entire burden was removed within moments
and my heart found fulfilment.
I became introduced to You in a new way.

Recognising You,
all entities became converted into spiritual divinity.

Now, surrendering at You holy feet,
let the current of devotion overflow in me.

-----------------------------------------

A new light has dawned today with Your arrival.
My life became filled with Your warm touch.
The samskara (reactive momenta) of dawn
was completely shattered.

The dogmatic feeling of name and fame
has been fully banished.
All my load and burden has been removed
and my heart is blissful today.

I have been introduced to You in a very new style.
My entire entity has become completely merged with You,
and my only request at Your feet is

that the flow of devotion should overflow in me.

In the colour of illusion
of forests and mountains,
I forgot my real self.

Amidst colourful fruits and flowers,
trees and creepers
and amidst humanity,
the root of minds of all creatures
turned colourful.

Each moment sunlight scatters
over mountain peaks.
My mind longs to attain the far sky,
breaking all bondages.

I did not do anything for You,
and yet, You uplifted me
from the dust of my path.

I never bothered to listen to praises of Your glory,
yet, You bestowed on me Your causeless grace.

You gifted me overwhelmingly filling both my hands.
You provided a place for me in the womb of a mother.
You filled me with love and an overflowing heart.

You poured honey into me in exuberance.

Whatever shelter, food and clothing I received
during times of distress,
whatever merciful wealth of sweetness
during the desert heat,
I kept it all threaded in my mind.

I cannot even estimate
what You did not do for me.

The mirage of the desert calls me.
It calls me from within my eyes
and from within storms.

Wearing skirts,
covering themselves with scarfs,
with both softness and harshness,
the desert girls move on, along the beach.

O silent, dry sand, you bear no green tree.
Yet, I love you,
and crown you silently,
like a silk cotton tree
with red kimshuk flowers.

On that dark day with softly wet clouds,
I saw You on the magnolia flower lane.

At Your feet,
ankle bells were sounding.

In my hand,
the small flame of a lamp was burning.

In Your eyes,
a sweetly flowered plant lay reflected.

And from my eyes,
a fountain of tears emerged.

There was no one besides You and me.
This was a meeting between the small and the great.

You came with smiling rhythm
and the fragrance of pollen.

I moved with a throbbing heart
and unknown feelings.

I forgot, afterwards,
drifting into intuitive knowledge,
what I was and where I was.

Why did You come today into my mind
when all my flowers have withered away
and in my mental garden only thorns remain?

There had once been a day,
when the beauty of flowers had prevailed,
as had sweetness and charming and delicate subtlety.

My sweetness had overflowed,
yet, on that day You did not come,
even after hearing my invocation.

My altar had laid fragrant and decorated,
for You to bestow Your grace that day.

This event, I continuously think of, even today,
as I keep my agony suppressed in the depth of my mind.

Births after births,

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

On Your path,
during rainy and dark nights,
I have never felt dullness,
I am a sweet bud in Your imagination.

During moonlit nights,
seeking solitude to meet You,
I move on with a threaded garland,
and pour out my love.

What for do you pour out morning light,
who is He who has forgotten you in His mind?

During sleep, while awake,
with whose love,
do you colour your life with a smiling face?

In the heavenly garden,
is the charming parijata flower not there
to win your mind with its beauty?

With everything available to you,
why do you turn restless,
wanting to select resonances?

You have no choice;
the whole universe (both the living and the nonliving)
is full of personal and collective contact (otah and protah).

O Lord,
You are adored and worshiped externally,
and yet, You exist in the depth of the microcosmic mind.

In the floral garden,

love scatters by the honeybee.

I do not want fame,
garlands of flowers,
worship
nor intoxication of respect.

I just want a heart full of love.
I do not aspire for anything.
You know my requirements.

You are in the deepest world
of action and duty.
You are the vitality of life,
the essence of all nectar.

In the sketch of green leaves,
in the charming eyes of the deer,
You cast in diverse styles,
a magic spell
and an example without comparison.

In the blue sky,
in the clear voice,
in the murmur of the forest,
You made sounds resonate.

You taught songs to the melody
that flows in the silvery fountain.

how far do You go?

Smiling sweetly with love,
You remain unknown.

A threaded garland of songs,
and the bouquet of love are left.
You draw with Your feet
the sketch of memory
that lies in sweet moonlight
and then, You rush off.

The dream that remains coloured
with the hue of a colourful peacock's tail,
carries the empty and cyclic bear's dance.

In green grass,
in the pollen of flowers,
in the longhorn
that moves northeast,
You sing.

turn into form

O gem,

focal point of my ideation,
You radiate the effulgence of love,

From age ato age,
living beings have been searching You,
and find You within themselves
in hundreds and hundreds of forms.

In life and death,
whatever is attained
and whatever is not,
is all located within You
as intuitional reality.

I have forgotten how to love.

You do not see nor consider
deserving qualifications,
You look upon all with causeless mercy.

The moon pours its light on all heads,
irrespective of whether they are good or bad.
The camphor makes all waters fragrant.
The sandal touches even hard insects,
even those who turn away from it.

I assumed no one loved me.
I came crying
and thought I would leave painfully.
On the earth, only pain is there for me.
Today, I understood I am not helpless.

I loved You,
so why did You forget me?

Knowingly, I wanted pain;
You made me forget both sorrow and joy.

I was drifting in the deep ocean,
You remained seated on a golden mountain.
I remained submerged in disappointment and disgrace,
You remained in the auspicious sun rays,

ignoring me.

For how many eras
our love has existed,
is not known to the history of poets.

You are great and I am small,
that is why You neglected me.

How could I not be Yours
or You not be mine?

From time immemorial,
a smiling sweetness,
is vibrant even today in almighty fashion.

I floated the boat of songs
over the waves of the ocean of melody.

I would swing rhythm and meter,
to the colour of Your love.

I would find the memory of joy,
and float my entire ego unto the stream of sweetness.

Whatever was accumulated by me,
has all been emptied.

In a moonlit night and a bright morning,
I float towards the infinite.

Full of heavenly love,
You poured nectar on my face.

The one whom I wanted in my meditation,
the moon I wanted to illustrate in my mind,
the essence of it all,
today came within my reach.

There is no waning nor waxing in this moon.
It is ever full of its sixteen components.

The one whom I wanted in the realm of ideation,
in the full illumination of moonlight,
under the soft breeze
came today.

I do not remember,
when I started loving You,
when I secretly filled my life and heart
with Your beauty, form and colour.

I saw Your image
in the crimson rays of the morning sun.
I understood Your glory
in the in the intense sun of noon.

I observed Your sweetness
in the evening sun,
in the soft shefali flower of winter
and in the flowers of spring,
in the pollen of keya and niipa flowers during rains,
and in the intoxicating song of birds.

For Your soft touch,
day and night,
my eyes shed tears.

Swarms of bees
buzz into the arbour of my mind,
and speak about You only.

I wanted to forget You
but am unable to do so.
Unknowingly, I keep singing Your song.

The flowers of spring,
the sandal breeze,
keep Your sweetness around them.

In the clouds of the sky,
dambaru (a hand held small drum) resounds.

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

You encompass the whole world
with the intoxication of subtle sweetness.

Days come and go
in colourful illusion,
along the bird's chirping.

In the intoxication of Your ideation,
my mind forgets itself.
It remains overwhelmed,
pronouncing long sighs.

In those days,
I merge with the dust of Your feet,
which loses itself in the longitude of time.

O Lord of my mind,
come into my mind!

Come into the mental flower
of my decorated tree,
and smile from within its core.

I do not want anything from You,
I only want to pour out myself
and offer everything of mine to You.

Come with silent feet,
totally eliminating the distance between us two.

Many lives have passed wastefully,
much an excellent sweetness floated adrift.

This time as last chance,
come and sit on the lotus of my heart.

You are great,
I am meagre.
I keep ever dancing around You.

You are a wave,
I am the dust of the path,
I ever long for Your shelter.

From time immemorial,
between You and me,
the mutual absorption of love
between the microcosm and the macrocosm has existed.

You may stay without me,
but I cannot survive without You.
I cannot think of anything other than You.

You are the polestar
unto which all aspire to move.
Grant me love and devotion,
so that I may continue singing of Your glory.

-------------------------------------------

You are so great and I am so small.
I am always moving towards You.
You are the ocean
whereas I am but a small particle of dust.
I surrender myself unto Your lotus feet.
You are my shelter.

Since the very beginning of this universe
our relationship has been one of love.
You may stand without me,
but I can't stand without You.

I can't think of anyone else except You.
You are my polestar.
You are my meditation (sadhana).
Please grant me devotion and love
so I may always sing Your glory.

O symbol of effulgence,
You came,
crossing the ocean of darkness,
removing all darkness totally,
to benefit the world.

Great sages and saints,
cannot attain You,
even after ages of arduous penance.

O Lord,
You came into all hearts.

When light comes,
darkness is removed.
When life comes,
death dies.

This divine and illusory game,
with which You swing the world,
never ends.

You exist in the ideation of all minds,
so why do You wish to remain hidden?

You are clean and fragrant,
so why do You witness
from a distance only?

You are for those who have none.
You filled attributes amongst those lacking qualities.

Although above attributes,
You are without attributes.

Why do You wish to remain unseen?
You are the shelter of all,
and yet, You remain shelterless.

O Lord of all,
why do You remain above all feelings,
above everything?
In individual and collective contact with the microcosm,
You bestow sweetness.

O my dear one,
in the moonlit night,
on the beach of golden sand
that lies along the ocean,
I shall speak to You
through song after song.

I shall speak to You
in the sandal breeze,
through tunes of flowers
with petals wide open.

I have rehearsed only one tune
with which my heart has become intoxicated.

By its rhythm,
with heavenly bliss,
a new joy vibrates.

On my monochord,
only one tune is played,
within which all love is filled.

By its pollen,
with a smiling melody,
I shall whisper my song into Your ears.

You put on the adornment of joy
with tender mango buds
and red kinshuk flowers.

The forest smiles with flowers of spring
and the mental world today smiles with shyness.

From mango trees buds drop,
spreading a sour fragrance.

On golden mountain peaks,
a golden crown appears to have been placed.

Over the flowers of blackberry,
bees hover from all sides for bitter honey.

With the fragrance of flowers tied to their chignon,
ladies forget their household works.

In moonlight dreams,
within the sandal breeze,
they are being called without shyness.

Why have flowers bloomed in my garden?
Who knows?

Not only in my floral garden
but also in my mental garden flowers bloom.

The flowers that could previously not bloom,
due to intense fog of cold weather,
and due to dullness of inertia,
received a jerk of life today.

The honey that was covered within petals
today obtained life.

The great moon in the blue sky,
on moonlit nights,
wants to reach out,
and talk to all in melody and tune.

to welcome You by pouring out their honey.

The bud of the campa flower,

looks at You and lifts its veil.

the buds of bakula flowers open up

O Lord,
the flame of the fire
that You ignited,
will never become extinguished, never!

The path that You told me to follow,
is my sadhana,
my spiritual endeavour.

The work that You told me to do,
the policy that You taught me,
that work,
that policy,
I shall never forget, never!

The actions that You forbade,
the bad policies that You told me to refrain from,
in their flow
I shall never move
nor lean towards their influence, never!

You told us to love all,
even plants, creepers,
animals and birds.
You taught us neohumanism
to which no comparison exists in the world.

O who are You
who came with the fragrance of flowers
into my sweet floral garden,
and let Yourself be held?

You stayed in my mind like a bee,
and whispered devotion and love
into my ears.
My floral garden became filled with only love.

It occurred to my mind
that in Your absence,
nothing exists.

You came and poured life into vacuity,
filling emptiness with nectar.

I did not know what is called love.
I did not at all understand the cosmic entity.
Now I know and understand
that You are my only God,
overflowing with vivacity in the game of my life.

A fatigued one has come to You for shelter,
and calls You distressfully.

Look at him with merciful eyes.
Listen to his agony with love.

Many storms and typhoons have blown.
Many fogs have passed,
and yet, he keeps moving unto You,
at the tinkling sound of Your viina.

He advances on Your path,
breaking asunder all obstructions.

O enchanter of my mind,
You came for my sake,
undergoing much trouble.

You made disappear my sense of pride and humiliation.
You forgot that I am just a meagre.

You came in isolation with the attraction of heart.

O benevolent and auspicious entity
of the whole world!

You also look at those
who do not want You.

You keep bound with love
those who want You.

You are the ultimate aim
and objective of all.

O ultimate shelter

missing His path.

On His feet lay dust,
and His face shone red as the sun rays.

At Your red feet,
I have remained awake, ages since.
I constantly ask for Your grace,
longing to serve You.

The earnestness that secretly lay hidden
in the depths of my mind,
resonated on the strings of my heart
by the attraction of Your mercy.

so that I may certainly attain You.

In which unknown history
did You come close to me?
During all that period,
I have survived.
So continue staying with me,
that I may colour my mind with Yours.

On which flower-filled morning,

have I lost myself in You?

I forgot that time,

and departed abruptly?

My mind danced like a peacock,
spreading its tail in intoxication,
and yet, You hid Yourself.

Even today, alas,
my flower buds remain hidden under petals,
though full of sweetness coated rhythm.

O dearest friend,
why do You stay away, unmoved?

Come, come close,
merge with my life,
by Your overwhelming and divine game.

You are the basis of all thoughts,
yet, You do not need a base.
You are the psychic pabula of all.
You are everyone's friend,
sympathiser during pains.

The animate and inanimate worlds,
the temporal factor, are all full of You.
With love and sweetness in Your heart,
You dance on,

You did so much for me,

My path was obstructed,
all light had vanished,
my ego totally went down.

Losing my path,

tying both my eyes with cloth.

Having forgotten my goal,

The crimson light of the morning sun
enters through the balcony into my dark house.

With the impact of brilliant light,
the ghost of darkness went far away.

Due to agonies,
accumulated ages after ages,
in the condensed blackness of darkness,
in the openingless deep dark well,
no discrimination was to be observed.

In this darkness,
living beings were bound
and the progress of minds became obstructed.

I cried out due to heavy obstruction,
longing for a fast entry of heavenly effulgence
to come into my life.

Turn the desert wet and green
and scatter light into the darkness of night.

I never performed the actions desired by You,
I could not follow Your path,
I merely continued seeking Your causeless grace,
O one full of sweetness and grace!

My heart remained intensely dark.
Your red and soft feet appeared hard.

And yet, by Your touch,
in a sudden moment,
it all would turn into a stream of nectar.

You gave me so much
and yet, You never wanted anything in return.

In the intense heat of summer,
You provided to me the shade of trees.

You rained soothing water
on the mirage of my dry desert.

My time used to pass by
in the flame of miseries,
that arose in humiliation and disregard.

You lifted me onto Your lap
and decorated me with a floral garland of songs.

The truth lay hidden
under storms of ignorance and dogmas.
You removed that fog
and brought me onto the path of light.

Thinking of You,
and keeping Your image in my mind
my days pass by.

Of Your sweet love
and enchanting memory,
my mind ever thinks.

I have forgotten day and date.
I have lost myself.
Always thinking of You,
I became like You.

Your encircling movement
always appears in my mind.

I am the viina and You are the player.
I am a drop and You are the ocean.
I remain submerged in You.

O one eternally absorbed in intuition!
Stay with each exhalation of mine.

Translation by Ác. Bháskaránanda Avt.:

Let my days pass by in relishing Your remembrance.
And let Your likeness get imprinted in my mind.
Your sweet memory is a honeyed reminiscence
which my mind desires to recapitulate.

Days, dates have I forgotten and I got dissolved in You.
Ruminating on thee i became Thou-oriented.

Thy appearences and Your departings.
My heart keeps always recollecting.

I am Thy stringed instrument viiná,
and You the player of this viiná,
And I, a drop, and Thee, the infinte ocean.
I remain lost in Thee,
and You, lost in Your omniscience,
Remain ever bound in the rhythm of my breath.

You told that You would return,
but You went away
and did not come back.

The garland of malati flowers dried up,
without You taking any sandalwood paste.

I had created a song for You
and rehearsed its tune the whole day.

The one for whom the song and melody was made,
did not come to listen to it.

All my flowers withered away.
Now, only the stalk is left.

At the end of the day,
surrounded by dropped flowers,
I could not sing my song to You.

The unknown fairy,
came into the canopy
of my sweet floral garden.

By pouring out the honey from its heart,
it enhanced the honey in the flowers.

What a smile in the melody of its flute!
What a flood of tears in its eyes!

The fairy of sweetness,
without taking the honey of the flowers,
poured out its own honey and went away.

The light that comes after darkness
appears pleasing to all eyes.

Likewise,
is the goodness that follows darkness
a defeat of time.

You are the basis of my life,
the rhythmic movement in the blue sky.

The ocean of love between You and me,
between the meagre and the cosmic,
is like an inciting thread of lightning.

You are the full moon in the moonlit night.
You are the sun in the early morning.
I understand You
and keep You absorbed in the core of my heart.
You are my companion in light and shade.

You are the polestar during dark nights.
Of the hot meteor's fall, You are the cooling flow.

I am the light of a firefly
and You are the sun.
I am but a particle in the stream of Your mercy.

O Lord,
I love You,
this fact I used to ignore,
even when knowing it.

My coming and my going takes place
below the dust of Your feet.

With You,
I secretly sing a song
in the morning light.

I continue playing a game of colours
under Your shelter and protection.

During the reddish colour of the evening sun,
I listen to Your song with love
and become coloured in the hue of coloured waters.

You do not listen to my story.
Why do not You listen?

I cannot accept
that this should be
due to my insignificance.
Oh what pain!

I do not know why I love You
but I realise that You are my sadhana.

O my desideratum!
O object of my service!
Why do not You come to me?

I created songs
and rehearsed melodies.
I remained awake the whole night,
only for You.

O adorable one!
O object of my meditation!
Open Your eyes now.

O dear Shyam,
kindling fire,
during my spring,
come into the arbour of palash trees!

O collection of attributes,
my heart is restless to see You!

The cuckoo sings in the kadamba tree,
the dark shadow of tamal trees dances,
and at the ashoka arbour,
swarms of honeybees gather.

The mind colouring hue
scatters into heavenly arenas.

The heaven and earth stay with me,
remembering Your sweet name.

O Ghanashyam,
come to me with each rhythm of Yours.

With each rhythm,
through the sandal breeze,
I sketch the sweetness of mind.

My pot is full of nectar,
fully satisfying hunger and thirst.
I adore You for extinguishing
all the great hunger in the world.

Crossing mountains, rivers,
forests and gardens,
I have come with a restless mind
to serve and love all.

I wish to dance, losing my own personal rhythm,
I wish to dance, to only Your rhythm and tune.

I have neither language, ideation nor melody;
and yet, I long to sing of Your attributes.

All unexpressed affection,
all great ideative expression,
lie at the altar of Your feet.
Hence, to Your feet, I bow.

Nothing fancy have I regarded as my own;
and nothing shall I take to fill my jewel box.
All sins being mine,
I shall place the result of my good actions,
as a garland on Your neck.

O Lord,
to offer at Your feet,
I have kept decorated
a tray of various colours.

Look at me compassionately,
pardon my faults and defects,
and annihilate my ignorance.

Other than You,
I have none in the three worlds.
You are everyone's companion
in both life and death.

Do not kick me;
I have no shelter of my own,
Outside you, who exists?

I want neither boon nor respect,
nor do I take pride in gems and jewels.

Keep me by Your foot-dust,
look at me with sweet affection,
and grant me the capacity
to perform Your work.

With the supplementary incoming flow of that song,
a golden dream appeared in my mind.

The distant effulgence,
and the memory of melody,
charmed simultaneously.

The quantum of feeling was too much
for language to express.
Innumerable rhythms lingered on full of hope.

At the side of attainment,
I had forgotten myself,
close to fulfilment of mind.

Your eyes imbibed love
and from Your throat resounded the voice of fearlessness.
Your bosom was full of hidden power,

and at Your feet lay liberation.

By attaining You close,
ideation turned into samadhi.

I was surrounded by an environment of thoughtlessness.

Give a touch to life,
like the soothing shade of greenery.

Halting being unknown to You,
You keep on singing songs.

Before creation,
only You and Your sadhana existed.

You alone were desideratum,
practice and practitioner,
movement and mover.

Only the song of time immemorial remained,
as mutual relation of cause and effect.

On the day nothing will exist,
You will stay in ideation.

In Your abode,
all expressions will remain,
immersed in Your eternal song.

Awaiting Your arrival,
with flowers spread out for You,
I stood in the shade of the bakul tree.

Have You forgotten this incidence?

Due to agony,
my eyes were full of tears.

The sky was clear
and You came with manifold rhythms.

A breeze was blowing,
and it seemed as though the tree had begun to sing,
with the papaya bird pronouncing the fifth note.

Absorbed in the sweetness of sandal,
its branches were swinging to and fro.

With eyes wide open, we looked at one another.

I told You all blind attachments had been dispelled.
You then asked me to come closer.

From time immemorial,
between You and me,
love has existed,
flowing like a river amidst its banks.

I loved You.
That, You must forget.

Do no longer entertain thoughts of me.

I gave You all my belonging,
yet, You did not come.
What deception!

When the sandal breeze
sways the flowers,
can it forget the honey that lies in them?

The moonlight arouses tides.
Can the moon ever forget the water?

But You have forgotten me,
and that is why
You do not come close.

You swung my mind,
and, like tides,
made it go restless.

Then, like the moon,
You smile from afar.
You do not love me anymore.

O Lord,
through a thorny path,
bearing all pains,
I have today come for You.

Look at me with merciful eyes,
forgetting my defects and qualities.
Come into my mind
with charming adornments.

By Your grace
all my worldly shyness vanished,
and all my thoughts surrendered
to Your ideation.

Now only You and me are left.
I have forgotten the world.
I dance to Your name and rhythm
and to Your meters.

That You may come to me again and again,
kindling the lamp of love in my mind -
this mercy of Yours, I request.

Most beloved Lord,
be the root of my life.
How much I aspire to have You close!
O unique one,
fulfil that hope of mine!

Aspiring for You,
I eagerly wait,
age after age,
removing all the restlessness of my mind,
and decorating Your altar with mental flowers.

Come,
O purest one,
most pious one!

The petals and flowers of decoration
have now all withered away.
My floral garland has dried up.

In the intense heat,
my mental honey has evaporated.

Come, like the flow of rain,
O my own.

On a rainy night,
in the impulse of intoxication,
I found You close.

In that sweet environment,
my drowsy eyes became directed unto You.

I have forgotten the day, date and time.
In my mind,
only the memory remains.

I have forgotten the flowers
but kept the fragrance,
that outburst of love.

How many years have passed?
How many springs have come?
How many winters floated away,
losing the merriment
and bringing back the honey?

On an effulgent winter evening,
the mist of my mind
did not let me recognise things properly,
and I remained in darkness.

Those symbolising effulgence
came with a torch in their hands.
Due to ego and pride,
I could not merge in them.

The travellers of effulgence
proceeded on with a torch in their hands.
Due to my weakness
I could not accompany them on their journey.

O most beloved Lord,
for You alone,
day and night,
tears flow from my eyes.

You went so far away,
leaving me on the bank of the river.
All my pride and ego circles around You only.

I understand that I had no force of sadhana
nor good deeds,
not to speak of even auspicious ideas.

That is why You ignored me
and went far away,
never to return.

O incomparable one,
with the southern wind,
and into the garden of my mind,
who are You who arrived?

With Your sweet smile and enchanting flute,
in an instant,
You turned my mind oblivious.

I saw You in hundreds of forms,
a hundred times,
but could not recognise You even once.
In the rhythm of divine illusion
You had kept Your identity hidden.

I see You on mountain peaks
and in the dense depth of the ocean's water.
I see You on the banks and in intellects,
like the underlying water that drifts beneath the sand.
I see You in light and darkness.

With the flow of the effulgent fountain,
who are You who came,
turning my mind oblivious?

The earth was impatiently awaiting You,
hoping for You full of love.

With the intoxication of sweet melodies,
and with the pull of magic and love,
You attracted it close.

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

Pouring out overflowing and immortal effulgence,
who are You who came?

For You I, decorated my altar,
For You I, tressed.
For You I, threaded a garland of malati flowers
and rehearsed my melody.

I thought of You on moonlit nights
and kept my light glowing on dark nights.

On a cool post-winter morning,
using the white and fragrant autumnal shefali flower,
I threaded my garland with the twine of love.

I had eagerly awaited You,
sitting in solitude,
at times crying,
at times laughing.

O dear one, You forgot me
and wiped me from Your mind.

But I will never forget You,
I will never remove You from my mind
whatever obstruction may arise in life.

You promised to come
but You did not - why?

Why did You delude me?
Why?

To welcome You,
I decorated my doors, my house
and even my road.

On the base of my heart,
I kindled my butterlamp,
and with tears of joy,
my life resonated.

Why did You ignore all that?

You either perform this game
due to love for me
or You do not understand my mental agony.

Why do You play such a deceptive game with me?

Your affection and glory
resonate in all three worlds.

With merely a wee bit of Your causeless grace,
each individual becomes fully contented.

Living beings come and go time and again,
they come and go by Your mercy.

You stay forever with everyone,
with all Your heart,
as close as can be.

O beloved, You will forever remain,
continuing to eliminate the agonies of all.

You will continue to spread Your effulgence,
Your infinite effulgence and sweet resonance,
for all time to come.

O first God,
Lord of animalistic tendencies,
accept my salutation.

Liberator from bondages,
Great Lord,
I salute You.

You emerge from a fountain of nectar,
and descend from the peak of mountains,
to apply soothing ointment on everyone's pain.

Even gigantic snow clad mountains obey You.
Even the greatest physical wealth of Kuber
does not carry any value before You.

Appear like a silver mountain,
O ever benevolent one!

My pains and pleasures,
You understand best.
You never expect anything.

Ritualistic prayers are of no use.
O God of all gods.

That sweet smile of His sheds pearls in abundance.
Seeing this, my eyes become filled with tears.
I cannot forget Him.

The sound of His magic flute made my heart restless.
All darkness vanished, drifting away into obscurity.

All around only sparkles of effulgence remain.

In the midst of all sorrows,
You came to me O Lord.
Reliever of all agonies,
with silent steps,
with Your sweet smile and pleasing face.

I called You with all my heart.
I looked towards You with all my sincerity.
With hands upraised I said:
"I take shelter in You as the be all and end all of my life."

With open eyes I noticed
that the whole sky was filled
with effulgence radiating from You.
I sang and sang Your songs
and caught hold of Your feet.

-------------------------------------

Amidst all my sufferings,
You came as their reliever.
You came with silent footsteps
and calm eyes,
with a sweet smile
and a pleasant face.

In distress I called You,
anxiously looking for You,
raising both my hands,
I announced I was taking Your shelter.

And on opening my eyes,
I saw effulgence rising into the sky.
Singing and chanting Your name,
I caught hold of Your feet.

Where does your mind go to,

The one coming with the rising sun,

His story of love, His history,
I am unable to forget.

The one smiling in the honey of floral petals,
bestowing His rosy colour,
His story, His night,
it is impossible to forget.

That love between You and me -
some know about it,
others do not.

A meagre one has tied a great one -
this fact some accept,
but others do not.

The floral garland
threaded with a small thread
and the basket bouquet
arranged with overwhelming love,
the rising reflection of the sun
in a droplet of water -
many cannot see.

The power possessed
by a tiny atom,
cannot be easily comprehended
by simple intellect.

In the nectar that oscillates in the bud
lies the entire effort for attainment.

came and flew away
with all my energy?

My restless heart is still dancing to Your sweet song.
Intoxicated in Your ideation,

I forgot all my wants.

Lifting the petals of the bud of my mind,
who has poured honey into it?
Does anyone know?

All my false expectations were wiped out,
as were all my worldly attachments.
And all disappointments vanished
by the pull of that unknown source.

Dear Lord,
having come at this untimely hour,
stay for a few moments in my small home.

You appear tired due to travelling
and Your cheeks are red due to the impact of the sun rays.

Today, You have intoxicated the rose with reddishness,
and brought the happiness of spring into my garden.

Come still closer
and sit inside my mind,
filling it with love.

O king of the universe,
in this collective festivity of stars,
You have brought about a momentary flash
for those alive.

Come with love, and the tune of a new song,
into this rhythm-lost, poor man's hut.

My eyes were inert with drowsiness.
The earth was wet from rains.
You came as light in the darkness,
providing fulfilment to a life of failures.

The event of that day,
I am unable to forget even to this day.
In the history of all life,
no comparison to it can be found.

You came slowly and went away far.
On that sweet night,
You left a trail of memory.
I have forgotten,
how many ages passed since.

My mind did not keep account
of springs and winters.
In it only one thought remains:
that You were with me.

All inert and moving objects of the world
keep dancing to the rhythm of Your dance.

Thinking of You,
I lose myself to Your rhythm and tune.
All irresistible vibrations of the world
ever meditate on You,
and revolve around You for all time.

All shining planets and stars in the nebula,
all atoms and galaxies,
dance around You full of love,
losing their identity,
at each and every single moment.

O one who is ever awake!
My most beloved one!

In the moonlight,
I obtained Your incomparable love.
In the moist breeze,
the fragrance of the juthi flower floats.

The stream dances on with resonance,
on this frenzied night.
The peacock calls with pause,
removing the darkness of mind.

The stars of the far sky twinkle.
The papiha bird has lost itself
in intoxication of rhythm and song.

That self-selecting intuition
remains restlessly ocean-like.

Which divine fairy came,
with the pollen of flowers,
with love that has broken my deep drowsiness,
with song after song,
like buds of flowers?

On this moonlit night,
in isolation,
it swung my heart.

With its buzzing sound,
whispering into my ears,
it poured out a flow of nectar.

Considering what is known
or what is unknown -
nothing of the sort does it maintain.

Small or big,
atom or great entity,
it awakened all.

With decorated eyes,
gazing, without ever blinking,
I sit by the path, awaiting You.

You gave me Your word
but did not keep it;
You told me You would return
but did not come.

You poured forth a soft smile
and went away far.
Coming face to face to me,
why did You decide to hide in the back?

Taking my heart,
why do You play this game?
You gave me assurance
and took all my love.

By deluding me with hope,
why did You make me cry?

By the end of the night,
all flowers had dried
and the flowers of my garland
had withered away,
leaving behind only the thread.

Still, in the morning
I kept observing the eastern sky,
expecting Your return with the new sun.

Come with silent feet.
Come silently.
Come, with silent feet.

The seat has been kept ready for You,
O dear.

Come silently into the core of my heart.
Come intimately.

For ages together,
and with a lot of effort,
I have kept
my mental flower decorated.

These colourful flowers have been filled
with the sweetness of the memory of Your name.
There is neither fear nor hatred.

You are my goal,
the essence of what I desire most.
I remain ever prayerful of Your mercy.

Apply the ointment of real vision onto my eyes.

The sky and air are filled with beauty,
and want to look at You with all their heart.

The blueness of the sky,
the longitude of mountain ranges,
leaves, flowers, creepers and shrubs -
You have scattered all around
and kept them immersed in Your ideation.

Today, You have enlightened me.

In the honey of flowers,
in the distant moon,
on planets and stars,
in the song of the nebula,
in all shining heavenly bodies,
in light and in darkness -

You remain merged in forms.

You came as heavenly nectar.

In a deep, dark well,
You kindled the light of humanity.
Those who were in slumber,
awakened to life.

You pulled and brought the distant nebula close.
That which was a distant moon only,
became the honey of the heart,
the sweetness of affection.

You made flowers bloom in the desert.

You went away telling You would return,
but I understand now that You forgot this.

I have kept my feelings suppressed
in the tears of my eyes.
In the blue sky the dreamy moon smiles.
And in my mind appears Your cruel game.

Yet I have remained on the path,
keeping myself awake with songs.

The pollen of the juhi flower
floats into the gentle and sweet breeze.
The warmth of life smiles with each breath.

I do still not accept defeat
and continue moving on, counting time.

I could not decorate my house,

With the light of camphor,
with incense and flowers,
I shall welcome You.

Now, allow me to think of You
even in a miserable and hopeless state.

In the crimson light of the morning,
I found You in a new and attractive loving colour.
Now, I witness You as pangs of separation in each pollen.

Colour my mind
when I find myself
in darkness, storms or the flow of tears.

Stay with me
both in the joy of achievement
and in the pain of loss.

Provide the happiness of survival
and absorb me in nectar even at the time of my death.

come dressed in a most distinguishing floral apparel,
come with a soft smile,

come with rosy cheeks and lips.

but also that You maintain tender feelings alongside.
You constantly fill each pore with love from within.

Whatever You want,
You do smilingly,
with an affectionate look.

At every moment,
You fill my heart
with the essence of the nectar
that arouses from love.

into my floral garden,
who came -
with the sweetness of colour, beauty and fragrance?

Who decorated the world in a new style,
removing far the inertia of winter,
pouring out heavenly nectar in abundance,
flying the mind like a free bird,
and, through invocation, bringing down the infinite and endless?

You did not come in expectation of anything;
You came to pour out Your all wholeheartedly.
You brought all lives closer
and filled with hopes the hearts of the hopeless.

O moon!
Why do You look at me like that?
I want to forget You, but You make me look.

In the world of imagination a dream unfolds.
The earth's dust becomes coloured by that dream.
Into this awareness, You express Yourself.

Is that how You anoint everything with Your sweetest love?
Somewhere in the loneliness a lover weeps.

Clouds appear in the moonlit night,
and make my mental peacock dance.

In which world of Vrindavana
does the devotees find You,
O Kanu (Krsna)?

Please sing for me in that world's rhythm and tune.

-----------------------------------------

O moon,
why are You looking at me in this way?

I wanted to forget You,
and yet, You make me look at You.

A dream entered the world of imagination,
reflecting with colour on the mortal dust.

I understand You want to convey to me all that,
that is why You do not want
to make us taste the honey.

Somewhere, who knows where,
a deserted person weeps.
Looking at the clouds in the moonlight,
the peacock calls.

In which Vrindavana
do the milkmaid devotees find You, Kanu (Krsna)
singing in rhythm and melody?

And my sole thought is that love only may win.

In this floral garden of mine,
who are You,
due to whose arrival,
flowers have bloomed?

You raised buds on dry branches
and filled them with colour, beauty and fragrance.

This morning,
into the thorny rose,
bereft of distinctiveness and decoration,
You poured beauty.

To the campaka flower,
which had lost its attracting sweetness,
no one used to come to express their love.

You decorated and brought beauty to the flowers,
by whispering secrets into them.

The nymph came
and approached the flowers.

It recognised the minds,
and, full of love, rushed onto them.

For ages,
the flowers had wanted to make the honey their own.

To fulfil their desires,
the nymph aspired to open their eyes.

On all the desires,
that had been kept hidden in the human mind
it poured love
and sang with affection.

The flow of effulgence,
touching my cheeks,
asked me:

"Where are you drifting away to?
The planets, stars, nebula look at you.
Why do you not see them, tell me.

The rivers, mountains and forests,
all want to engaged with you.
Not paying heed to them,
whose songs are you singing?

sitting alone in solitude,
who is that good person
for whom you kept these floral gifts of love?"

Even though your eyes are filled with tears,
you are one with beautiful eyes.
Tell me, why did you not braid your hair?

Under the moonlight,
The land loti (lotus flowers) remain half open and half closed.
Who is that unknown traveller

who came and captured your heart?

After capturing your heart,
He went away
and did not return again.
I hear that traveller has come again,
but He remains far away avoiding you.

He didn't come near,
He had no courage;
yet you didn't stop loving Him.
Although your eyes are filled with tears,
Your eyes are very beautiful.

-----------------------------------------

I can see tears filling Your eyes,
O beautiful eyed one!

And I wonder why have you not tied your chignon?
The bush lotus remains in half bloom in the moonlight.

Which unknown traveler has come,
won Your heart,
left again
and did not return?

I heard that the same unknown traveler
has again come.
He does not have the courage to come closer.
Yet, you do not stop loving Him.

There were tears in my eyes when He left.
A tear-studded garland was placed on my chest.

I saw His tears but failed to recognise what it meant.
I could not understand whether it was love or not.

He left silently and the deep silence that lingered on
proved He had left.

Whenever I think of Him,
that bodiless entity comes.

He didn't forget me
I also did not forget Him.
It would by lying,
if I said I had forgotten Him.

----------------------------------------

My eyes were full of tears when He went away,
putting the tear-filled garland onto my neck.

I did not see the tears in Your eyes,
and could not understand Your language.

I could not follow the expectations
contained in Your love.
Silently He went,
the silence says so.
Whenever I remember Him,
he arrives as bodiless entity.

He has never forgotten me
and I have also not forgotten Him.
I forgot to say
that it was a time of merging.

Why does spring keep crying?
It continues calling only me.
This unknown air of an unknown land,
I cannot tolerate.

It keeps crying and calling me,
from beyond hundreds of seas.
Many a days, dates and times
came and went by.

That call, O Lord,
has not stopped.
Sitting in solitude,
I think to myself,
how on earth can it be stopped?

Come close, closer still

but do not know whether You love me or not.

I keep You within the core of my heart,
sketching Your image.

In the morning's illusive crimson colour,
I see You in a new form.

I find You in the red colour of the love-filled setting sun.
In the game of colours,

in the festivity of the world,
I accept You as the Supreme.

In the cosmic mind,
You secretly continue to work,
day and night.

With melody and rhythm,
You continue dancing to the attraction of love.
All living beings become enchanted
by the charming swing of Your great play.

Sitting and sitting I keep counting time.

How long will this have to continue?
How long shall I wait,
looking at the path of Your arrival?

The star appearing in the blue sky
becomes covered when clouds come.

This game of Yours,
this merciless sport -
how much longer shall I have to witness?

Annihilating heat devours the soft and sweet sandal breeze.
The white swiftly flowing prewinter clouds,

are destroyed by the snowy winter.

If You do not want it to stay this way,
come and tell then how I may attain You.

O unknown traveler,
tell me, what is this?

When being called, You do not come.
You come without being called.

You simply smile from a distance.
You remain ever upsurged in the cosmic game.

The decorated altar does not attract Him,
and He has no fascination
for a house well decorated with flowers.
But He comes running to a poor man's hut
to occupy his heart.

Tell me why You behave this way?

How many days come and go in vain?
How many colourful images appear and vanish in delusion?

But as eternal entity,
You continue moving forward,
at every moment,
ever crushing the darkness.

Why? Come and tell me why I should love You.
Keep performing Your divine play,

There, no one should die of starvation.
There, waves of ignorance should not flow.
There, human beings should not kill other human beings
and flow the river of blood.

There, intellect should be free from inertial dogmas.
There, intuition should prevail.

no one should suppress others.

Struggling with the darkness,

For You I had kept my lamp burning,

saving it from storms and winds.

I am sitting in the darkness,
awake at night,
having to hold and take care of the lamp.

Hence, I surrender myself to You,

In this spring season,
into my garden,
my beloved one did not come - why not?

The flowers have dried,
the petals whither,
they did not get the sweetness of intoxication.

I have made a garland for my chignon,
from fragrant oleander flowers.
I decorated the parting of my hair.
My ear lobes shake the siris flower.
Yet, You did not come and see it.

Sitting in the shade of the ashoka tree,
I create songs for You.
Spring passed and summer came.
But even after so many days,
You did not show any kindness.

Have You forgotten the event of that day,
that story flooded with pain?

My face was full of water
and demand was in my eyes.

The clouds were
thundering in the sky,
there was nobody in the arena of Your path.

Everything appeared bewildered.
And You did not return thereafter.

How many ages have since passed?
The path became wet with tears.

Many floral garlands dried up,
and yet, You did not show any mercy.

For You I have kept threading
this small garland of flowers.

Though it is small,
it is not insignificant,
as it is an expression of my love.

I have carefully selected these flowers,
searching in the depth of my mind.

Collecting nectar-filled flowers,
I have threaded this garland of songs.
Even should You not want to take it,
I cannot tolerate negligence to love.

O dearest one,
even should I be insignificant,
this garland, full of love, is not.

You loved me,
without expecting anything in exchange.

You told me to follow the proper path,
but did not take any offering from me.

In all circumstances of darkness and fear,
You accompanied me on the path with a lamp in hand.

You showed me the path,
and removed my afflictions,
without ever touching the gift that was given to You.

During storms and the fall of meteorites,
You kept me shaded under the banyan tree.

In spite of all rain and storm descending on my head,
You protected me from being washed away.

I saw in dream
that You came to destroy all darkness.

With unconditional love,
You applied the colour of devotion to my mind.

Dark fog surrounded me,
I could not see outside of it.

In a flash,
piercing through the mist,
a flow of effulgence appeared.

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

O dearest one,
in which loving environment of unknown origin,
had I seen You?

I have forgotten the place, time and name.
You alone remain in my mind -
O incomparable one!

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

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

There, the scattering light of the rising sun
danced fast like a peacock.

Illuminating my dark house,
You came that night,
in the environment of an intoxicating dream,
tinkling Your ankle bells.

I was in deep slumber,
like a blind person,
surrounded by environment of inertness.

By the touch of Your soft hands,
You aroused intoxicating love.

I was surrounded by selfishness,
creating a stone prison around myself.

You broke that prison
and coloured me in new effulgence.

O embodiment of songs,
I was in a dreamy state,
when, in meditation,
You created a tune.

On the sea beach,
like a shell,
that song dances on to this day.

That song, like the shell,
had been lying around neglected.

Arousing it with sun rays,
breaking its sleep
and telling me it was already daytime,
You fearlessly went away.

I continued waiting,
requesting and begging for Your return,
that You may come
and teach me that song,
thereby destroying all darkness.

breaking all its bondages.

O Koyel river,
onto your banks,
with your colourful water,
pour out love.

Save my Palamau area,
with its warm, heartfelt breathing.

Palamau is my favourite
as it is simple, soft and respectable.
With its colourful flowers and affection,
it loves all.

* Koyel is a small river near Anandanagar in Palamau district.

and I am a meagre pebble of a stone.
I take refuge under Your shelter.

On both banks of the river,
I remain sleeping on the sand.

Tell me when You shall come
and fulfil my unfulfilled desire.

In lying, in dream, in sleep
and in my awakened state - always -
I keep ideating on You.

The golden evening goes far away.
The darkness of night intensifies.

O the Lord of the night, come quickly.
Living beings are breaking down due to terror.

I am but a particle of Your effulgence,
dancing in the flow of Your mercy.

You came to me in the moonlit night
with light and incense.
You filled my eyes

When I awoke,
the southern wind was blowing,
carrying the fragrance of sandalwood
and a touch of sadness.

The reflection of the face
with the incomparable smile,
lingers on in each and every atom.

You came with intoxicating sandalwood fragrance,
through rhythmic series of songs.

No hindrance is there left to lose oneself in You.
My mind does no longer want to stay at home.

In hope of You and in frenzy,
all dance in the mental sphere.

The bakul and parul flowers,
call by waving their hand.
The campa bud is intoxicated with fragrance.

Those left alone,
seek the path,
by threading You a garland.

You came after such a long time,
with much trouble.
Tell me for what purpose You came.

You brought the warmth of life with You,
and filled all with love, O dear.

You brought life to those slumbering in deep sleep,
and who, for such a long time,
had been barely surviving,
nearly dying from distressful inertia.

With the touch of Your stick,
You gently broke their slumber.

To those unconscious ones,
bereft of vivacity,
to those who did not know they had the right to live,
You gave affection

and forever opened their eyes.

You are the moonlight
in the tiny glowworm.

And therefore, I have fallen in love with You.

Radiating Your divine effulgence,
illuminating entities all around,
You dispel darkness
from within and from without.

When there was cimmerian darkness all over
and the universe was nonexistent,
when heaps of static blackness constantly used to be ejected,
into the gloom of nothingness,

You applied the soothing balm of Your divine glow.

Since then, even to this day
You have constantly been pouring out
the sweet nectar of Your heart.

When there was nothing in the universe
in time immemorial,
when nothing like life, death, day or night existed,
only You,

O Lord,
the timeless entity,
were present.

You continue to exist
and move on in an eternal flow.

Who knows and understands all this?
Who cherishes to know it?

This bird exists in everyone's mind,
knowingly or unknowingly,
in deep silence.

It is to be loved always,
because it resides within.

The swan drifts on,
unto a sphere beyond this world.

You were alone
and became innumerable,
multiplying Your forms.

You were unexpressed,
and in order to touch the earth,
manifested with name and form,

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

This created universe is maintained by Your divine game.
It is an imaginative outburst of Your resonance.

Along Your rhythm
all dance on in joy -
rhythm after rhythm.

Come!
Come into my life and mind.

By Your attraction and love,
by Your floral fragrance,
I remain filled with bliss,
every single moment.

Resonate within me
with the tinkling sound of Your ankle bell.
Vitalise me with Your loving nectar.
Vibrate my each and every atom
with Your unseen effulgence,
with Your everlasting love and heavenly vibration.

By experience I know
that in reality nothing other than You exists.
From the core of my heart I understand
that my own self does not belong to me.

By Your beauty and charm,
by Your sweet touch,
by Your songs,
mortals become intoxicated.

What is this sweetness in the breeze?
What is this this intoxication in my mind?
What is this tune the birds are singing?
What is this love that permeates the world?

O Lord,
fill the universe with Your colours, forms and ragas.
Spread Your charming tunes everywhere.

Keep on floating on the waves of rhythms and melodies.

Come into my heart with Your sweet smile,
with the sound of Your flute.
Why do You keep hiding within my mind?
Come forward in dance and song.

----------------------------------

What sort of sweetness exists in the wind?
What type of intoxication dominates the mind?
What sort of melodies do the birds sing?
What style of love overwhelms the world?

O Lord,
You have filled the whole universe
with beauty, flow and colours.

You have radiated
Your enchanting love everywhere.
You keep floating,
through each melody,
in Your own song and rhythm.

With a sweet smile, come into my heart,
with a resonating flute.
Do not hide within my mind.
Appear to me with song and dance.

O king of flowers,
why did You come today
into my floral garden?

Is it that the flowers had longed for You?
And that You agreed to respond to their call?

As much as the flowers are attracted to You,
You are likewise attracted to them.

This mutual attraction and absorption,
takes place in ever new adornments.

The flowers bloom momentarily,
and when withered, turn into dust.

This coming and going is only momentary,
and yet, they smile and dance.

Can those who love You,
ever remain stationary?

To attain You,
tears flow from their eyes.

They flow day and night,
in their coming and going,
when smiling or crying.

In sweet nights,
You remain close to them
and make all float individually
in the essence of nectar.

All are bound by the thread of love.
Like the cakor bird around the moon,
they too, revolve around You,
as if dying for You.

Awaiting the meeting under the moonlit night,
how can they possibly stay inert?

You brought light into the ocean of darkness.
You filled the dark earth with illumination.
You coloured the petals of flowers,
and poured honey into them.

When You came,
on the chariot of seven colours,
the scarf of the rising sun
became coloured in a flow of water.

You removed the curiosity of living beings
and expressed love to all.
The human values of those
who had been submerged in cimmerian darkness
remained latent.

You broke their slumber
and aroused life in them.
The mind of the world's humanity was thus coloured.

The flow of effulgence,
keeps dancing on this dusty earth.

The divinity of effulgence has entered everyone's heart.
This effulgence intoxicates like a dream,

and its flow is scattered all around.
This light destroys all inner and outer darkness.

It vibrates in darkness,
as does Lord Shiva's (tandava) dance amidst darkness.
That divinity with the free-flowing, tufted, long hair
has appeared today.

I had searched You on mountain peaks
and across the desert,
in intense darkness,
with the kindled ghee wick of my lamp,
when everybody told me:

"No, not here.
Why do you search here in vain?
Why don't you go there,
to your own place?
Why don't you go to the temple over there?"

When I went to the temple,
I saw all the articles required for worship,
the worshipper, the guide etc.
But had the Lord to be worshipped gone?

When I searched within the core of my heart,
within my own "I" feeling,
I saw You hiding there.
There was no worshipper, nor guide,
nor tray laden with flowers and articles.

On that crimson morning,
with light-radiating hands,
You came to me,
bestowing Your grace.

There was a sweet smile
in both Your eyes
and a charming flute played
on Your coloured lips.

Soon after You had came, You announced:
"I am going,
I have no time to stay.
I have no bondage of time,
how are you to hold me within the limits of time?"

I told You:
"Take me with You,
make me beyond time
and take me outside the limitations of time,
so that I may perform Your work in a better way."

You came and filled the world with beauty and melody,
but why did You then hide in the back?

You did not come openly
to merge Yourself with all.
You preferred to remain unknown and unrecognised.

I understand that You do not want
to mingle thoroughly.
That is why,
You sought a place free from disturbances.

O Lord,
You do not want to but I do.
Let both these desires vanish.

O creator and operator of the world,
You are vision of truth covered within truth.
You cannot hide from truth.
Why then do You try to do so?

Come in the fragrant breeze,
and into my sweet mental garden.
O King of my mind,
come secretly.

This silent visit of Yours
is my inner intense sadhana,
and will remain unknown to others.

On the altar of idea,
I have placed my floral garland.
I have applied sandal paste
to each petal of the flowers.

I am sitting silently and alertly,
with a purified and happy mind.

No external paraphernalia of incense, candle and decoration
do I make use of.

By holding the mind itself,
I continue ideating on You.
Through meditation, incantation and loving attachment,
my mind becomes coloured with Your vibration.

But Your sweet smile is known.

You gave me shelter
in the womb of an unknown mother
and the affection of an unknown father
on whose lap to sit.

From the scorching heat of the desert,
You brought me to the soothing shade of trees
and graciously provided food and water to me.

In all conditions,

In the fragrance of flowers,
Your glory lies hidden.

In the melodious coos of the cuckoo
and the beautiful tail of the peacock,
Your charm reflects.

nobody ever remains helpless.

The wee bit Your grace showers down on us always.
To the world, this fact is known.

Why did You give me assurance

After giving Your words,
You did not keep them.
You always bring up new types of hopes.

After placing something in my hands,
You vanish with the moon.
You vanish in the nick of time.

I am a traveler of time immemorial.

I move on Your path
with You only as my desideratum.
Look at me ignoring my faults,
and turn my sadhana fruitful.

Why did You come in such untimely manner,
without announcement or notice?

You did not give me time
to decorate my house
or spread the seat for You.
You did not give me a chance to get ready for You.

I had been waiting ages after ages.
With this hope,
I cried many times with choking breath.

When You came,
You did so without announcing it.

I did not know my fault,
and did not have time to offer You anything.

To rectify the mistakes You had committed again and again,
You compassionately came this time.

You illuminated the darkness of my prison cell.

You opened my eyes,
smiled softly,
and removed all the agonies of my mind.

O ever new one,
I do not know,
how You stole my heart.

By pouring Your illumination into my dark mind,
You filled it with melody,
rhythm after rhythm.

In what bondage did You bind me,
not with chains
but with floral ropes?

In the sweet vibration of Your bondage,
You removed all inertia.

The intense darkness of his life has broken down
and both his tearful eyes have opened up.

Whom is he constantly thinking of?
Whom does he seek?
Why is he crying?
What was his fault?

He has loved You,
and surrendered his core of heart to You.
However, You did not accept it,
and did not understand that heart.
That is why both his eyes constantly flow tears.

At the transition point of life,
those who love someone, get that person.
He loves You, yet You do not love him.
And still, his mind keeps rushing unto You.

In this spring season,
without consideration of date,
who are You who came into the recess of my mind?

I never wanted You,
neither in the day nor at night.
Why then did You come into the depth of my being?

The flowers on the ashoka tree bloom layer by layer.
Palash flowers lie on the path, colouring it.

The madhul (mahua) flowers radiate their fragrance,
while women decorate their baskets with them.

In the garden of campaka flowers,
in an solitary shade,
the cuckoo keeps singing.

Why has the unknown traveller come today?

He poured honey into the floral garden,
lifting the bucket with His own hands.
He coloured the flower petals with hue.

On His eyes and face,
simplicity appears
and in His dealings lies firmness and straightforwardness.

He is loved and respected by all.
He rushes on with smile and dance.

All are His own.
No one is indifferent to Him.
He considers all His dearest.

With love, rhythm and melody,
He has brought the gift of love.

You have scattered Yourself with love -
into flowers and fruits,
into the crimson rays of the morning sun,
and into the hopes of colourful dreams.

You seated those who did not have anything
at the top of the mountain.

You brought those who were not given any attention
to heaven and earth.

You provided everything but did not come Yourself.
You went away, hiding far.

Knowledge, intellect and skills,
the melody of a sphere beyond the world and beyond time,
You gave everything,

and explained that all forever remains merged in You.

The fairy from the world of sleep came
and told me to keep sleeping,
just as animals, birds, bees and fish do.

She said that just as flowers have slept
with honey hidden within them,
so should I sleep with my eyes closed,
covering within me the nectar of life.

I told her that I would not sleep,
and that I would pass the night awake,
that I would keep awake lest some honey should get lost.

I then asked her if she didn't know that?
And I told her that I would pour out this honey,
and remove her anger.

Who came and why?
Only He knows.

I am unable to recognise Him.
Yet, He recognised me.

That flute of love and affection
spreads the essence of nectar.

I observe and know that,
in a moonlike fashion,
He illuminated the firmament of my heart.

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

Come into my sleeping consciousness!
Come with the adornment of a king!

My losses and my collections,
I shall convey to You.
O unrecognised and ever new one,
in Your presence my dream remains absorbed!

You have coloured me to the core with sensitivity.
Within the mental garden of my heart,
You lie hidden as effulgent illumination.

Come into the dark corner of my empty memory.
Remove all dark dirt and make me Yours,
and fill my mental garland with love.

He was with me day and night,
absorbed in the core of my heart.

I could not recognise Him,
I could not understand Him
even though I was observing Him.

With the red radiance of the morning sun,
He brought a heavenly melody to the earth.
I did not listen to that melody attentively
and did not get intoxicated by its tune.

Under the mid-noon sun,
dancing through a devastating rhythm,
a thunderous voice called me,
but due to fear,
I did not go closer.

In the agony of the late noon,
Your sound resonated like a conch-shell.
But intoxicated with ego,
I did not respond to it.

You came
and kindled light in the recess of my mind.

In a moment's flash,
You removed the darkness that surrounded me.

I had no sadhana,
and did not prepare my altar.
But entering from a corner of my house,
You came on Your own.

You did not have any expectations
when colouring the arena of my mind.
When You went,
You carried away with You my entire load.

On which sweetness-filled night,
did You enter the depth of my mind
and smiled in a happy dream?

In my mind,
the darkness of ego was present
and both my eyes were full of misery.

O my unknown traveller,
You came closer
and wiped away the distinction
between the known and the unknown.

Within moments,
You merged into one
both physical and heavenly worlds,
with the smiling light of Your lamp.

O my dearest one,
do no longer stay afar.
With the flow of Your effulgence,
remove my darkness.

Stay nearby,
stay within my mind
and, with soft footsteps,
move along with me.

O Lord,
You left without announcing it,
without even a word.
You left in the intense rain,
in the rain of tears.

You did not listen
and did not heed any obstruction.
Alas, why did You remain indifferent?

The white clouds of winter called.
How much the shiuli flowers cried in the cold!
The blades of grass even forgot how to smile and laugh.
Yet, their pain did not make Your mind melt.

The birds sang in spring.
And how much the colourful and loving flowers yearned for You!
The golden stars laid scattered throughout the sky.
And yet, You did not open Your eyes at all this earnest longing.

From the core of heart,
with beauty and flow,
I wanted to attain You.

I was lying in the dust.
No one ever looked at me.

In intense darkness,
I see only You.

During sighs of grief,
and the fall of thunder,
I find You close.

At that moment,
everything else vanishes.

and scatter love into each life.

In this world nobody is distant.
All living and non-living entities
remain filled with Your presence.

Your home is located everywhere,

since Parama Purusa is helping.

A sweet breeze keeps blowing

You came into all minds,
and filled them with Your presence.

Colouring all thoughts with Your hue,
You won the mind.

O gem of the mind,
You reside in the mind.

You are not seen in the outside world
as You have hidden Yourself behind worldly eyes.

Like a glittering gem,
seated in the mind,
You remain luminous.

I love You.
You are cosmic and I am an atom,
and yet, I love You.

You are the ocean
and I am a drop,
and yet, I do not fear to approach You.

With broken hope,
tolerating all pains,
amidst hundreds of agonies,
I smile.

O beloved Gopal of the world of songs,
You appeared in the colour of thoughts.

At the call of the One,
all awoke today
and in the fragrance of flowers,
smiled sweetly with love.

Questions of like and dislike do not arise.
All attained the light of the rising sun.

At this last part of cimmerian darkness,
all arose today,
in the east's crimson hue.

Those who had been sleeping ages after ages,
covering humanity's both eyes,
with a thunderous call,
and a touch of love,
were affectionately awoken from their slumber.

You came, loved me and won my mind.

You came with rhythm and beats,
in Your ever enchanting play.

I did not know,
I did not understand who You were.

You came,
revealed Yourself,
and made me understand that You are mine.

I had been entertaining hopelessness only.
There was no light, no hope in me.

In this darkness,
You kindled the light of my lamp.

I have not forgotten You -
You have forgotten me.

The flowers that have dropped from trees and creepers,
are remembered by the lane they lie on.

The hue that colours the light,
the love that soothes the mind -
their trace and sweetness still ooze.

The sweetness that is marked on the mind,
the swan that spread its wings -
the memory and the speed of which never vanish.

I am not a thorn of the path.
I am the essence of floral nectar.

I do not bring low tide to life.
I bring about an upward flow by reversing the ebb.

Moving on a pebbled and rough path,
I never speak of pause.

During sandstorms and hot sands,
I gather strength to struggle.

I am a colourful illumination,
lovely and bright,
removing all your sorrows.

When no one stays,
I shall stay.

When no one wants,
I shall call.

I am yours and
you are mine.

I am a part and parcel of this world.

You departed leaving us with realisation,
and kindling the lamp in the sky.
You departed providing fearlessness,
and awakening consciousness in the human mind.

You came after much invocation and penance,
after many inviting lamps were lit,
pouring love into the niipa flowers
that had remained coloured with expectation.

Come into the lane of mind,
age after age.
Come into the nest of hearts,
providing bliss,
rhythm after rhythm.

tell me,
why are Your eyes filled with tears?

Which merciless one has forgotten You,
leaving behind delusion only?

The white clouds of the rainy season have gathered
and darkness covers the star light.

The heart of a separated one continues weeping silently.
He went away this spring,

leaving you only to count time.

From my company,
within a moment,
He went away to an unknown world.

He could not understand the language of my eyes
nor the hope of my love.

I cannot forget that sweet smile and glance,
as He applied colour to the recess of my mind,
secretly, on my mental seat.

Even today that figure remains imprinted in me
and everything materialises into that surrounding.

He went away sketching with His brush.
He left with rhythm and beats.

You are in the light of the day
and in the darkness of night.
You exist in heaven and earth.
You remain with affection and bliss.

I do not know where You are not present;
hence, I salute all, at all times.
Being under Your shelter and touch,
I do not fear obstruction.

all over the earth,
what fragrance did You bring?
Tell me, what fragrance did You bring?

In the floral garden,
in the intoxicating breeze,
You spread Yourself.

The flowers can no longer carry the load of pollen.
Each atom and molecule has come to know of Your love.

With sweet footsteps,
in intoxicating sound,
You go on playing the ankle bell.

We all love You.
Thinking about You,
we cry and smile.
Day and night,
I see You within my eyes.
You have become my pupil's most beloved one.

O Lord,
tell me who can understand Your illusive game?
You are beyond the reach of sense organs,
beyond words,
and beyond the mind.
The intellect surrenders before You at every step.

Why days and nights come,
that, I can understand a little,
but how the earth and the sun came about,
that, I do not know.

Who will answer this "why and how"?
The more I know, the more my ignorance increases.

Why do living beings come and go?
Onto which unknown destination does the earth,
full of beauty and flow, move?
Who except You will answer this?

I attained You after much effort,
wandering a big distance,
travelling through many pilgrim centres
and enduring many a hardship.

After passing through hot sands,
and melting ice peaks,
I returned with disappointment,
to my vacant temple.

But when I peeped into my own mind,
I found You hidden there,
illuminating my dark heart
with the lamp of Your love.

Which distant country have You remained in?
My whole day passed by crying,
in expectation of Your arrival.

I did not know what was my lapse;
I did not understand Your illusive game.

But I know You are the essence of all essences,
and that You will return.

I have heard that there is neither coming nor going for You.
Then, why do I not permanently realise You?

It must be due to some mistake of my own eyes,
or due to a defect in my own mind.

Crossing rough mountains,
I have come close to You.

Moving through arduous illusion,
I have loved You.

I recognised You in beauty, flow and colour,
and understood Your formless existence.

As past of everyone,
and end of all,
You exist everywhere as nearest entity.

No one attains You with intellect.
By the light of intuition alone does one come close to You.

In the flow of devotion,
and by dint of an immeasurable impulse,
does one merge in You.

This much do I know.

The unknown traveller has come today.

In blooming creepers,
in fragrant garlands,
the pollen of flowers float.

Cast aside shyness, fear and doubt,
and remove all suspicion.

Making all His own,
filling everything with immeasurable sweetness,
He smiles in the depths of mind.

There is no formal introduction of His
to come under time, place and person.

Only a heart full of love
can bring about success in attaining that Kanu (Krsna).
Only a subtle human approach has the right over that.

This fact You have made me know.

Your flute resounds in thunder,
and in storms, You smile.

You dance in the rhythm of lightning.
You merge with meteors.

Through earthquakes and the vibration of the cosmic heart,
You instruct us to love all.

In ocean waves,
in fountains,
in the devastating fire
and in the sighs of the annihilating divinity,
You sound out loudly Your tandava dance,
and with an open tuft of hair, You proclaim:

"I am the destroyer of all sins,
I shall devour the devils in human form."

O beautiful-eyed one,
what for are you displeased with me?
Tell me.

Why is there no song on your coloured lips?
Why have you not put on white fragrant bela flowers on your tuft?
You have not put on earrings either.

You have not tied your chignon with excellent flowers.
Your moon-like face remains dull.

Which unknown traveler came
and, after displaying momentary love,
went away?
After taking your mind and stamina,
He left,
and is now mischievously smiling from a distance.

What is the flower secretly holding in its floral garden?
It is lost in its seed vessel.

It remains sweetly absorbed
and covered with petals.

There is honey within the flower,
and so is the colour of hope of attainment.

In the moonlit night,
alongside the moon,
lies reflected a tuned stringed instrument.

In the northeastern corner,
clouds emerge with lightning and thunder.
Despite the threat of storm and cyclone,
the flow of love dominates.

O Lord,
tell me why You have remained far.

If ego was present,
why have You not crushed it?

Within Your light,
Your air,
and Your colour,
lies my development.

The earth and sky are Yours,
everything is filled with Your existence.

Though You are Great,
I am but a meagre particle.
O Lord of the universe!

You are the ultimate desideratum of everything inert;
On the other hand, I am the smallest, distressed pauper.

When there was nobody on this earth,
there was nothing achievable,
nor was there the effort for attainment.

O sweet one,
in the end, only one unexpressed longing remains,
and that is to attain You.

You are the mountain.

With bowed head,
with lotus and lily flowers,
I salute You.

You are my ever-new astonishment.

There is no end to Your intuition.
In all directions I see but Your effulgence.

By Your intuition,
ever-new playful bubbles arise,
as if kissing Your feet.

There is no coming nor going for You.
Plentiful is Your grand collection.

By attaining but a wee bit of Your grace,
one's "I" feeling merges in You.

I continue singing songs
and kindling light,
On this earth,
there is none I cannot call my own.

I am an unknown traveller,
residing in a formless home.

The decorated heap of articles in the world is mine.

I depend upon those who have no one;
hence, into the empty heart I pour out love.

Even though unknown, I stay close.

In the selfless mind, I remain immersed.

In the nucleus of flowers,
I have filled honey.

I shine in darkness.

O Lord, embodiment of liila,
why did You come at this inappropriate time,
the auspicious time having almost passed?

The petals of flowers have withered;
the honey in the nucleus has dried up.
That intoxicating fragrance is lost
and bees no longer hum.

The floral garden was once colourful.
Petals were overflowing with honey,
and the delightful fragrance was intoxicating and beautiful.

The dried river gets flooded by Your touch,
the dried branch of the tree starts bearing new leaves.

You arrived, poured out nectar,
and merged Your life with my life,
merged Your mind with mine,
O embodiment of consciousness.

That You had come into the depth of mind
nobody knew.

That You had brought heaps of nectar with You,
nobody realised.

You aroused melody, rhythm and tunes,
and told about prosody and meters.
You irresistibly appeared
in slow, fast and medium-paced rhythms.

With Your own hands,
You kindled the flame of intuition,
and filled with love the nature of life.

You removed the distinctions between one human being and another,
drenching all with nectar.

He goes on singing the song of the unlimited.
He goes on swinging the infinite.

He is bent with the load of love
and pours a flow of divine nectar
into the desert heart.

He tells of Himself,

"I am never far,
I remain bound by the thread of love.
I stay in the mind,
and constantly fill it.
Even in darkness,
flashes of light spark from within me."

He further tells,

"Nobody is distant from me.
I consider everyone my own.
I only laugh and love
like the heap of flowers loves the moonlight.
Even extreme darkness retreats before me."

The unknown traveller came,
showering down His grace in abundance.

By removing the dust,
and filling me with love,
He made me pure.

The sky of the pitch dark night
decorates You with garlands of stars.
From within the galaxy
You pour love upon the nebula.

Those who were without expression,
speechless, submerged in an apellationless state
for such a long time,
arose by the healing balm of Your affection
and turned the earth beautiful.

O Lord,
You came through the ocean of effulgence,
with a sweet and charming smile,
to love me even more.

I did not welcome You with a floral garland in hand.
I did not request You to come in and take Your seat.

My long night was filled with darkness.
That darkness has eaten up my mind.

Being helpless,
I did not call You,
I could not struggle.

You stood during that distress
and told me You were near me,
on each bank of the stream of life,
with a song for each period.

With the ankle-bell of dry leaves,
a storm arose in the southwest.
It came carrying the northeasterly resonance of visana.

With the fragrance of the night jasmine,
and the rhythm of palm and tamal trees,
it came that night with great impact,
under the stern eyebrows of the God of death.

From beyond praise and condemnation,
the storm frenzied in the flow of intoxication.
Through the gaps of dark clouds
pierced the double chariot in the flow of effulgence.

The fairy came smilingly
and took away the parul flower.
Dewdrops melted into tears,
swinging to and fro.

The myna bird witnesses this
but does not speak,
as it cannot tolerate such agony.

The grown up peacock,
wearing ornaments,
says that it has made a mistake
by not observing.

Nailed in the throat,
the parrot speaks to candana
in the water-soaking gram.

The bathed kakatua stands
and wonders where is parul.
It is not seen anymore.

and is being illuminated by Your light only.

I survive due to Your existence.
My life and death revolve around You only.

During the scorching heat of summer,
my heart longs for Your touch.

In the rain that brings consolation and hope,
I witness Your flow.

The white clouds of winter,
the tall grass flowers,
the colour of shiuli,
the snow of prewinter,
in the beauty of it all
You remain mingled.

Amidst the mist of winter
Your ankle-bell resonates in my heart.

In the beauty and decoration of spring,
appear to me,
O embodiment of the world!

Why are your eyes filled with tears,
who has given you mental agony?
Tell me about this event.

Today, on this colourful morning,
the flowers talk with trees and creepers,
and remain intoxicated with fragrance,
so why are you silent?

The sandal breeze has become heavy, laden with honey.
Even in your unsteadiness,

why are you unable to move on the path?

In history there is neither account nor record of it.
This event has not been sketched in geometry

There is no painting of it on either a canvas nor on a cloth

When I was lost,
You lifted me,

onto the deep recess of Your mind.

Why did You come
though You knew You had to go again?
Why did You smile
though You knew You would make me cry incessantly?

Even today, in my sweet garden, the sandal breeze blows.
On the musical octave, the diipak tune conveys its melody.

The fragrance of flowers floats and overwhelms
as though it were tides in an ocean of love.
My moon has lost itself behind dark clouds.
Unto what does the blood of vivacity rush with rapid speed?

In rhythm and in love,
the impulse of melody awakens,
with constant restlessness.

The nightingale dances over the floral garden,
and the cuckoo sings,
so that no flower thief should come close.
Thus they keep on calling.

The drowsy petals of the rose flowers
remain absorbed in sweetness.
They are intoxicated with the charming and loving fragrance
in the pollen of flowers.

All know that this day will not stay.
The flowers will whither away silently in isolation.
Hence all search for only the sweet fragrance

of that unknown and overwhelming entity.

You came in spring
with feet coloured in the hue of red tender leaves,
and filled the heaven of life with sweetness.

The sweet sandal breeze made the buds smile
and love-filled effulgence appeared on my mental mirror.

At that time, fragrant love emanated from the pollen of flowers
and the morning red hue appeared on the head of tender leaves.
My mental spring became coloured with golden sweetness.

The nature in spring was sweet
with heavenly effulgence penetrating minds and life.
The sandal breeze was pure

and the world became filled with song and dance.

layer by layer.

You poured into them mental honey
and filled them with the beauty of Your love.

The campa flower bud peeps through,
not wanting to let itself become covered by tender leaves.

The small bakul flower
and the colourful parul flower
open their eyes
desirous to look all over.

The fragrance of the bela and cameli flowers disperses
and the palash and shimul flowers become intoxicated with colours.

The buds of the ashoka tree spring forth all around,
facing ever upwards in search of Him.

On this pre-winter (autumn) morning,
in a golden field,
who is He who came into my dream?

Laden with dew drops,
the low-bending shiuli flowers (night jasmine)
lay on the bed of soft grass.

The white clouds seemed to be extending flowery-like from the tall grass
and became coloured red in the morning light.

The love of birds
scattered about in the blue sky.

In the core of my defeated heart,
Your ankle bells resounded.

The fragrance of pollen
emanated from Your pure and fresh feet.

illuminating all,
You kindled light.

The fear and delusion that was hidden,
full of laziness and tiredness,
the burning agitation within me,
You removed it all
with a touch of vitality.

O my river Madhumati
unto which country do you flow?

Carrying the love and attraction of the Padma river
you rush towards the ocean.

You nourish flowers and fruits
that sweetly scatter about.

Sweet human beings,
look with sweet eyes
at those sweet grasses.

I love you and kiss your feet.

O decorative mother of Bengal,
why are you drying up today?

With the fragrance of the ketakii pollen
that emanates from its flower,
You entered my ideation.

You came with intoxicating and drowsy eyelids.
You came for the total welfare of all in the world,
and removed all dirt.

You came silently with red feet,
extending to both sides Your affectionate hands.

I had neither longing, sacrifice,
patience, austerity nor sadhana.

You came in the sweet flow of ideation,
bestowing Your causeless mercy on me.

You poured out the pollen of life,
and took away the honey of my mind.

Without exposing Yourself,
You knew all about me.

Outside, there was a shameless wind,
within my mind was a shy desire.

Making me forget my all,
what did You get in return?

Though I am meagre,
You are vast.
Within You, I exist.

What did You achieve by obtaining me?

By giving Yourself to me, You lost Yourself.

What intoxicating fragrance
floats in the colourful breeze of the floral garden!

In the sweet charm of the stream of my heart,
what do the buds say?

Above, I behold an azure-coloured flower
and below, the intoxicating and white mahul flower.

The grand sunflower looks at me face to face,
scattering its sweetness unto the unknown.

The nightingale speaks in the language of songs.
The shimul flower can barely contain the craving of its heart.

In springtime,
why do the palash flowers remain intoxicated with enthusiasm,
doubling the amount of heat they radiate?

You told me You would come again,
and with that hope I keep counting time.

Maintaining all my longings suppressed in my mind,
I weave the web of dreamy pleasures.

Days come and go with hope and in despair,
breaking off many a fragile thread.

Storms and cyclones have fractured many a wing,
and were then followed by rain, thunder and lightning.

O softest amidst hardness,
let my earnestness enter Your ears,
that even should You remain far,
in my heart, I may listen to Your song,
O most innermost one!

O unknown traveller,
You have remained far only.

I called You so much,
and yet, You did not hear me.

In the red colour of the rising sun,
I called You with love.

In the blue of the evening sky,
my sincerity lay reflected.

On the dew-drenched shefali flower,
in the deeply-blueish and fainting outfit of winter,
in the lively stream of spring,

and in the fragrant and floral breeze,
I called You,

During rains that were so thick that even clouds could not be seen,
rains that turned the sky dark,

I called You with tear-filled eyes.

In the restless wind,
amidst the resonating noise,
and in the depth of mind,
a dark eye mark was applied upon me.

O Lord,
under the blue shade of the sky,
imbibing the assembled restlessness of the storm,
would the rock obtain softness?

After the flow of lightning
and the thunder of meteorites,
the compressed thought of my heart
became lost in darkness.

I know that one day this darkness will be over,
and all calamity and distress be removed,
in the absorption of a new morning.

Beyond my eyes and beyond darkness,
You will provide
flows of effulgence
and periods of joy.

Coming and going,
desire and attainment,
only around the two does my existence revolve.

Like a stream
whose flow of water
joins the mountain and the ocean
I drift along.

How many times did I have to come?
How many times did I have to go?
How many times did I have to get lost in the desert?

Time and again I return,
as though vapour,
while the mirage of hope calls.

I desire with and without cause.
I attain something
but do not attain further.

Amidst achievement,
I forget Him
who removes all mist.

In which distant past
we were introduced to one another
nobody knows.
You are my essence of essences.

Some accept it, others do not.

With the vibration of light,
the game of life started
and darkness was removed.

Some keep watching it, others do not.

When the sandal breeze arose,
the flowers were full of decoration,
and in the dry river, a tide appeared.

Some could understand it, others could not.

O Lord,
You came in the night of my sorrows.
You did not come during my happy days.

You came into fold through tears
and could not be deluded by crafty deception.

I had kept the basket of spring flowers ready for Your worship.
I could not attain You

by offering them
but attained You instead in prayer during pain.

During the play of laughter,
and the festivity of light,
during these happy hours of mine,
I could not find You.

It was in pitch darkness that I experienced Your mercy.

He never came close to me.
For that reason tears flow from my eyes.

Why should I love Him who does not speak?

I rush into land, water and the great sky,
searching and hoping for Him.

Playing on the strings of my mental viina,
I did not find Him close anywhere.

Carrying love-laden honey
and a heart full of sincere desire
I wandered about, devastated.

When shall I get Him close?

You are as severe as a thunder bolt,

O Lord Shiva,
holder of the pinaka drum,
I salute You.

You are like a silver mountain,
carrying a crescent moon on Your head.

I know that You imbibe all attributes.
You are the controller
of both the expressed and the unexpressed worlds
and the shelter of all distressed.

You are beginningless and beyond the scope of time.
Yet, You remain established in all finite objects.

I salute You, O ever tranquil one!
Lord of all animalistic tendencies!

You are the owner of all gems
and also the supreme relinquisher of everything.
You are as effulgent as a bright emerald.

O very seed and primordial force of the universe!
Controller of all created beings!
I salute You, Lord Shiva.

I dwell in the pollen of flowers,
filling it with honey.

Agitating the ocean of life,
I express Myself in rhythms.

I sing in unknown lyrics,
drawing My language from the ideas of the infinite.

With a bright face,
in the heavenly garden,
I champion destruction.

I whisper into the ears of flowers,
and remain absorbed in the essence of nectarial beauty.

In fire, air and the smiling blue sky,
I recognise the ever new.

Where are You going,

Please tell me.

I know the ice has melted
and will again emerge as a fountain.

The trees that have dropped their leaves during the cold,
will again blossom in spring.

The sky has become crimson coloured,
in the play of the early morning.

Without You showing the beacon,
I would get lost in the depth of the forest
as I have no spiritual endeavour / sadhana.

O Lord,
stay a while in my home.
Flowers bloom in my garden.

You usually never come,
carrying those red feet.

Taking the fragrance of campaka flowers from the garden,
using the essence of heavenly nectar,

and the honey of my mental flowers,
I am threading a garland of no comparison.

By filling a pure and pious mind with incantation,
I have decorated my house with much endeavour.

Like the smiling niipa flower in the soft rain,
my aspiration oscillates and sways.

O beautiful eyed one,
who are you constantly thinking of?
Who are you looking for on the path
with a deep longing and fixed eyes?

Who is that beloved one of yours?
Who has stolen your heart?
Who took away your heart from a distance?

You never cherished anything;
you only wanted to offer yourself
and that is what happened to you.
You got what you desired.
You desired to offer your heart and mind
and this is what happened.

He took away your heart to some distant sphere,
to some unknown arena.

Today, with a heart full of devotion
sing the love songs of your heart.
In those songs your longing lies embedded.
The tears of your songs will inundate the entire universe
with the flow of devotion.

If drowsiness overpowers me,
O Lord,
remove it!

O eternal one,
if energy is exhausted,
replenish it!

I have come by Your desire,
and love this earth.
I smile with the beauty of flowers
as this song is sung.

You are the flower, I am the pollen.
You are the sandal, I am the water.
Allow me to merge in You.

Look at me without ever blinking.

Illuminating the darkness of night,
who has come?

With eyes marked with dark illusive decoration,
You intoxicated the whole world.
You enchanted my mind with the melody of Your flute,
and fulfilled my heart by Your songs.

Pulverising all inertia,
You played the illuminating diipak melody.
There is no comparison to You in the world.
Your effulgence spreads throughout all the seven strata.

He is the eternal truth.
He is the ultimate endeavour.

This essence of reality, You conveyed.

Into the leafless forest
You came during flowerless days,
filling it with tender new leaves,
and making flowers bloom on dry branches.

The hopes that had withered away,
the language that had become dumb,
into these,
You brought bunches and bunches of reverberations.

By bringing about an undercurrent,
You made the stream that had dried up
and become lost in the sand, flow again.

days have been passing by for such a long time.
Do not You know this?

O closest friend,
sweetness of the afflicted,
O sympathiser,
do not You know this?

Many flowers have bloomed,
many have withered away.
Clouds have come and brought about rain.

You did not come.
You did not understand my agony.
You did not mingle Your mind with mine.

The moon creates its soft play of light.
The sweet honey creates taste.
This honey of the moon won't stay
if You do not come close.

I longed to find You
in the fragrance of blooming flowers
and in sweetly scented forest groves.

The honeybee of my mind hums
as it follows Your irresistible call.

Hours pass.
Moments and instants are lost
in the bosom of infinity.

And yet, so far you have not come.
Nor have You talked to me.

Floods of tears pour from my eyes.
O heartless one,
what is Your true nature?

Why do You play with my mind?
You have not understood my pain.
You have not heard my cries.

The day departs on the wings of flying geese.

O bud of campa,
I am telling you not to come so close.

Observe from behind,
spread your fragrance,
but do not touch the earth.

The trees in the floral garden,
are long, straight and of sweet nature.
Their enhanced beauty welcomes rain.

The central gem of the ocean of beauty,
the inner voice of the golden flow,
gets lost in the will fountain of its inner core.

In the illumination of the blue sky,
on such a day
who has entered my mind?

The forest trees of ashoka and palash smile,
forgetting their agonies.

In the restless wind, the pollen of flowers floats on.
With empowering sound,

the cuckoo sings in its characteristically rustling voice.

With the vibrating sound of ankle bells,
and in the oblivion of agonies,
who has filled all with irresistible vitality?

Into the black decoration of my eyes,
and the humming of memoirs,
who has come,
with the darkness-shattering application
of colour and melody?

O unknown traveler,
coming to me at least once,
please explain the realities of the divine world.

To which unknown destination
do the nebulae and galaxies of the blue sky float?

Is what I observe with the senses perfect reality?
Is whatever I do not perceive all untrue?

Which is false and which is true?
What was once existing but disappeared in the past?

Whatever is present in the scriptures,
is only that authentic?
Whatever is not included in the scriptures,
is this to be ignored?

Staying in my mind,
please offer basic answers to these fundamental questions.

Amidst the tide and the moon,
amidst the flower and the honeybee,
what sort of love have You filled?

Into the pollen of the smiling flower,
You have poured heavenly nectar.

No entity, wherever it may be,
remains negligible.
Though distant it may seem,
it is related.

Taking all with You,
in an integrated way,
You created the world.

The star loves the infant on earth
and the infant wants the distant star.

Into the sandal breeze that drifts in the blue sky
You sing the meghamalhar melody.

O pupil of my eye,
most valuable diamond,
essence of heavenly sandal!

There is no coming nor going,
no diminishing nor decay for You.
You are the pervasiveness
of the spirited ocean of the nectar of love.

In which distant past
You smiled into my mind,
has not been recorded nor written down.

I only know that You exist and love,
and that without You
everything of mine would be jeopardised.

You are present in air, fire and in the smiling sky,
in planets, stars and in the darkness of time.

Filling everything with sweet affection,
You scattered about an infinite number of immeasurably precious gems.

The life that had been affected by drowsiness,
the mind that had been afflicted by poverty,
You beautifully decorated
by removing all deformities.

I had never searched the truth,
retreating back every moment due to fear,
You aroused courage in me

You explained to me the human task.

Into the arbour of my mind,
swarms of honeybees come and go,
what for, I do not know.

With the spring breeze,
in my mental blue sky,
the swan does not spread its wings.

I wanted Him in sound, in touch,
in the smiling sky and in intense fragrance.

I wanted Him in beautified flows,
and in the soft sandal breeze.

I speak to Him with each breath that I express.

Absorbed in sandal fragrance,
who has come today?
He came to me with darkened eyes
and without asking for anything.

I told Him, "I do not recognise You properly,
but see You only mentally,
creating a seat without home."

You said, "Know me,
my introduction with you dates from time immemorial,
I have come decorated in hundreds of forms."

Do not go away,
stay for a while,
I have more to say.

You may not accept my words,
but what do You lose in listening to them?

Why do flowers wither away?
Why does the garland of love dry up?
Why are thoughts, kept covered, awakened with swing?

The night jasmine comes in winter.
The lotus does not bloom in the snow.

In the beautiful blue sky,
with what hope,
does the swan glide and call?

If You will not come,
why then should I look onto the path?

If You have forgotten how to smile,
why then call You day and night?

The southern wind keeps blowing,
and does not respond to my call.

He knows love,
and ignores formal expressions.
Why then sing songs for Him?

The honeybee whispers into my ears,
"Offer love but do not accept it."

The one with whom the acquaintance takes place
says that the divine play will never cease.

For You,
my whole life,
I sing songs.

Yet, there is no illumination of rhythm nor progress in sight.

O divinity attainable in dream,
tell me about the destructible maya,
the divine illusion.

Understand my restlessness,
and my love-absorbed heart.

In nights of pain
and mornings of pleasure,
You play Your game with me.

Despite all the swoons of my mind,
You carry on Your divine game.

Day and night,
I think,
and go on thinking about You.

I believe and know
that You also accept
that You have won my mind and life completely.

Not moving along a straight path,
I go on crossing curvatures.

Those curvatures that bind me
with the rope of attachment,
I carefully avoid.

Even remaining close to You,
I do not find You nearby.

I look outside
and do not look inside my mind.

Hence,
come in royal function,
and remove all darkness.

I am like a fountain with an uncontainable flow of water.

The message of mountains and molten ice,
I carry and pass on to the ocean with sweet words.

No bondage is capable of binding me.
The monster-like prison cannot obstruct me.

With restless vitality,
I rush on as if mad.

I do not fear any obstruction at any time.

Into dry throats,
sweet juice I fill.

With jingling vibrations,
I go on dancing,
ever breaking bondages.

Who was it who applied honey
onto the corner of my mind

Dear Lord,
You have been looking at me
though I did not look at You.

You loved me
though I did not maintain this memory.

How much causeless grace from You I got,
filling my mind with beauty and flow!

You gave me touch of flowers, fruits, and sandal breeze.
Whatever I wanted, You gave even more than that.

You removed all my dirt and sins.

For the sake of all-round welfare,
and a redirection of reality,
You poured into me a flow of nectar.

With a garland in hand,
I have been looking onto Your path the whole night.

The moonlight,
enmeshed with clouds,
lay on my eyelids.

With each pollen of the malati flower
and the love of the cameli flower,
what sort of melody
floated along the expression of rhythm?

You filled my mind
and removed all agonies.
In Your song,
You embedded the melody of love.

With the great secret of the jeweller,
my mind is intoxicated.

Whatever was considered unattainable,
has come close today.

What was full of dilemma,
the stream that got lost in the sand,
returned and obtained flow
with the soft breeze of the cloud.

Today, the forestland is eagerly restless,
and is being decorated with new and tender leaves.

Into the corner of my mind,
who came?

Coming silently,
and sitting down silently,
He rekindled my extinguished candles.

The one I was thinking of day and night,
the one I loved,
is that You?

After such a long time,
in silent isolation,
You offered Your pearl-like smile.

That unknown traveler,
is He still unknown?

The event that took place
between the moon and the tide
remains unknown.

In the temple of my mind,
the turbulence of honey bubbles.

Today, You have filled the earth
with beauty and flow.

------------------------------------------

Who came into the corner of my mind?
You came silently and sat down silently.
You lit up my extinguished lamp.

Who am I thinking of day and night?
It is You that I have wanted.

After a long time in a lonely forest,
Your laughter was as effulgent as a diamond,
and yet, You remain an unknown traveller.

Who does not know the joy of a moonlit night
and the beauty of a stream?
You sweetly delighted and vibrated my mind
and made me extremely happy.

The cuckoo of my mind cries in solitude,
looking at the distant sky.

The moon is there, the cloud is there,
but no sweet breeze fills the moonlit night.

You did not speak nor talk.
You did not come.
You did not notice the separation of our love.

You stayed distant and remained far.
You did not call,
as if I were unknown to You.

How close You used to be to me,
colouring my mind with the sweetness of Your colour!

From staying in form, You went to being formless,
playfully floating in the divine sphere.

crossing the ocean of forms.

Beyond dilemma and drowsiness,
I saw the multiplicities of waves.

I did not find You in philosophy,
neither do the sciences know You.

With the charming thread of love,
I came to know You in sweet ideation.

I accept that through ritualistic worship,
with all its incense, lamps and bouquets of flowers,

with offerings and language-bound prayers,
You will not come within my reach.

By thinking of You
I have become mad.

Your image vibrates in my mind.
Your smile and charming flute
enter my heart,
making me forget my whole existence.

In the cold wind of winter,
from within white clouds,
emerges a swan, gliding with wings outstretched.

In that dreamy environment,
in that nebula,
my small "I" ceases its movement.

In the icy inertia of the winter fog,
in this snow-laden environment,
all my vitality seems to have dissipated.

Come at last,
bringing waves of spring,
and resonate in silence.

As white effulgence
You have filled in my mental arena.

O eternal and unchanging entity,
with all Your expressions,
You rush on towards effulgence.

In everyone's desires,
in the attainments of all,
by residing within each one,
You float unto infinity.

O Lord,
I have seen You in hundreds of forms,
and, time and again,
unknowingly became immersed
in the grace-bestowing dust of Your feet.

I cry with infatuation,
my eyes closed.
Please unravel this entanglement of mine
with Your own hands.
Finding me nearby,
please draw me close to You.

By not performing desirable actions,
I wound my own mind,
Submerged in a hell of my own making.
Please release me from this predicament,
please shower upon me the rain of Your grace.

Today, I have kept a clay lamp kindled
in my mud hut.

There is nothing in this world
that I can call my own.
I know only You as the essence of all.

There is nothing which belongs to me,
absolutely nothing.
The mirage of vain hopes has been left behind.

The tussle of likes and dislikes,
of achievement and loss,
made me cry and weep.

The soft breeze along the path brought drowsiness, alas.
The fragrance of flowers became lost in the past.

Whatever I see clearly with my eyes,
whatever I think unmindfully,
enfold all these
in the deepest recess of my mind.

If I ever forget You,
please rectify this mistake of mine.

If I ever praise myself,
please rectify this too.

You are like a festival of light on a dark night,
an oasis to a traveler in the desert.
To a dry throat,
You are cool, refreshing water.
And to the downtrodden,
pleasing and sweet as a niipa flower.

By Your presence
I exist,
By Your presence
the earth exists.
To this song
You make me listen
in every moment.

In this world I am alone,
like a peacock that lost everything in a forest fire.
From the ashes of this burnt forest,

draw a sacred mark upon my forehead.

Why did You intoxicate me so irresistibly?
Please tell me.

Why, in so many forms and flows
did You cause my blood to surge?

Whatever I had wished to hide,
You drew from my lips;
The hidden agony in the core of my heart
found expression.

Whatever lay hidden in solitude
in the deepest recess of my mind
became illuminated.

Unlike You I am shy,
dearest One.
I do not freely share the feelings of my mind,
however exceptional they may be.

You are within my mind,
listening to everything.
Deep within,
You lift me up onto Your lap.

Hw well You know this divine game!

You deceptively change near to far,
light to darkness,
meeting to separation.

You blow the fragrance of flowers to distant places,
while love leaves all attachments

and merges into infinity.

In a multitude of thoughts,
through scenarios of the imagination,
You weave a web of pain and pleasure.

O formless One,
You are so difficult to understand.
Even when I think I know You,
it appears I do not even recognise You.

To what unknown sphere
beyond the distant horizon
are You attracting me with Your love?

By what art
did You attune,
with beauty and colour,
the nectar in the flower
and the moon in the sky?

Your mental rays
spread colour after colour
upon my jewelled lamp.

There is nothing
I can call my own.
None ever came to accept my love.

You secretly whispered in my ear:
"I reside in the smiling niipa flower."

You are there
for those who have no one.
Amidst transient objects
You are the essence of all essences.

You float onwards
with a charming smile,
dissolving Yourself
in the fragrance of incense.

You are ready to grant the welfare of all,
permeating everything with Your love.

You filled light with divine effulgence
and poured into death
the nectar of immortality.

I have never loved You,
but called You only during distress, O Lord.

With the golden ornament of love
You infused my mind with melody.

In creation, preservation or ultimate dissolution,
You never fear to lose Yourself.

You remain ever active,
enchanting everything.

Who are You?
You came into the depths of my mind,
and immersed me in Your thought.

In a moment You removed my agony
and made me exclusively Your own.

I never deserved Your grace,
I never fulfilled Your wishes.

You came by Your own will
and allowed Yourself to be caught,
showering Your love without reason.

Within, You are the fragrance of flowers.
In life, You are the flame of all lamps.
Without You,
neither do I exist,
nor indeed, does anything else.

This essence You embedded
deep in the core of my heart.

The youngster came from the sphere of effulgence
and told,
"I shall not be deluded by falsehood.
Neither I shall cheat
nor get cheated.

To the shine of an illusive story,
I shall not fall prey anymore,
To it,
I shall not listen anymore.

All come in the hope of light,
yet get trapped in a dark noose.

Under the influence of greed,
and due to inherent defects,
all get trapped in their own web.

Each human being is part of the same family.
The pain of one is a matter of sorrow for all.
This is the supreme, absolute and true message.
I will not hesitate to sing it."

In dense nights,
and illuminated mornings,
with melodious tunes and rhythms,
I long for You with heart and soul,
and offer unto You my whole existence.

I have nothing left to lose.
I want You in exchange for my all.
My sincerity and heartfelt song bloom within You.

I had forgotten You.
Bound by matter,
I had remained immersed in physicality.
I never probed inside,
but desired only external enjoyment.

Keeping patience,
I wanted You
in the sweetness obtained
from the churning of my mind.

O beautiful and formless One,
through constant contemplation,
I observed
that in sum,
nothing really remains.

The softness that overflows like hundreds of moonlights,
cannot be compared to hundreds of gems and pearls.

In the corner of the mind
He smiles in innumerable beautiful alliterations.

It is difficult to understand
His eternal divine and illusive game, oh brother.

As floral fragrance,
in the blue sky,
He floats with love.
As sweet sandal fragrance,
He removes distress.

The morning I started moving on Your path -

I have also forgotten by whose pull it happened.

You know how to love
and pull all close to You.
Under the shade of love and affection,
You bathe everyone in liberation.

I was sure You would come to my home.

My days passed by calling You,
and nights passed by
with tears flowing from my eyes.

Summer approached,
rains descended,
surrounding me in hope and despair.

Holding a bunch of night jasmine flowers,
I continued calling You with reverence.

In the cool pre-winter breeze
and in the cold wind of winter,
I called You.

You did not respond,
did not see me,
but came with the melody of spring.

I have threaded this garland heart for You.
I am offering it to You.

If You do not like it,
do not lift it up.
Do not look at it
if it does not satisfy You.

My tears and pain
are the expression of my inner voice.

Although I am but a meagre
I have great hope of attaining You.
This is probably my audacity.

If You do not want me
why did You tie me with the rope of love
by attracting me towards You?

O incomparable hope to a distressed heart!

You have been my inspiration ages since.
You have been smiling from time immemorial,
in the stream of time,
as infinite One,
free from the bondages of pain and pleasure.

It is impossible to recognise You.
And to understand You,
is more arduous still.

To merging in You,
to becoming You,
there is really no alternative.

my eyes are thirsty,

Amidst restlessness,
You are my sole stability,

You loved me,
even though I did not love You.

You gave me so much,
and yet, my discontented heart wanted more.

I never gave You anything,
and not even by mistake,
did I accomplish a single work of Yours.

My demand was one-sided,
in disregard of all shame and repentance.

I called You once I had fallen into distress only,
as if saving me from distress
should have been Your duty and debt repayment.

And still,
You understood my agony
and bestowed Your grace.
This debt to You,

O King of my mind,
for You I have kept my mind decorated.

O Essence of nectar,
in rhythm and melody,
I remain within You.

There is no daylight without You;
neither is there darkness (attraction) in the pupils of one's eyes.

You are the illumination of love
amidst the best and excellent-most.
Due to You,
I obtained a life full of love.

You are the Venus star
during the darkness of the night.
Today I recognised You.

O all-pervading One,
You are beyond the limitations of place and space.
You are the goal,
O beautiful One.

You perform Your divine and illusive game within
and enchant externally.
In the sweetness of Your divine game,
I remain entranced.

Your love is within my mind and in my life,
in the churned heart,
in a sphere of intimacy.

Your love is with me
in all my thoughts and actions.

I find Your love in the morning flowers,
in the pre gold,
and in the flow of water
that carries it.

Whatever I think and whatever I do not think,
on everything Your effulgence shines.

The sweetness that lies hidden in the core of my mind,
the moon that peeps through the gaps of clouds,

the shy eyes looking towards You and losing themselves,
in all this, You pull me close.

O Lord,
I see You in hundreds of forms.
I imagine You in hundreds of ideations.

You exist in the string of the viina
that charms the mind.

You enter my ear,
and with modest love,
I pull You close.

My inside and outside become one.
The distinction between what is close and what is far becomes lost.

In Your song and by Your pull,
I search You only.

O embodiment of the universe,
taking me along,
You keep performing Your divine play.

O embodiment of this game,
what pleasure do You derive from it?

You pour honey
into the core of minds and flowers.
Yet mercilessly,
You burn hearts and deserts too.

Tell me why, in the flow of this divine game,
You have remained far away.

I do not want to understand You,
I do not call You with the expectation of attainment.

I only want to see You make me Your own,
in both individual and collective life.

I do not want anything from You.
I only want the resplendence of Your effulgence in my mind.

You remain filled in me
like the spring breeze in the smiling blue sky.

O ocean of nectar,
I exist in You

My earnest desire for liberation from bondages

How close were You,
and yet, You went away far.

I had stayed, waiting for You
in the hope of Your arrival,
but You did not come, alas.

The song that You had created and taught me,
You did not hear it sung from my voice.

The string of the viina,
by the vibration of which You charmed the world,
You plucked.

O merciless One,
this divine play of Yours,
rushes on as heavenly stream of light.

Those who closely ideate on You,
You abandon in the fire of separation,
as You depart.

O Lord,
single-mindedly,
on the monochord,
playing a single melody,
I call You.

Neither accumulation of virtues,
nor skill of realisation did I possess.
Passing time absorbed in lethargy,
I remembered the pleasant memoirs of the past.

Whatever I received, I put to use,
and threaded the garland of love.
I did not ask for protection during distress
and never wanted any boon.

My only request to You is that You may put me to work,
thereby removing all my ego and agony.

Entering the floral garden,
what does the bee whisper into the ears of the flowers?

Into my mental garden, as bee,
You speak through songs.

I want to hide
but cannot do so.

I observe You on the mountaintop,
in the sky
and in dense depths.

Whatever I try to say,
lacks of confidence.

The agony of my heart's core,
its hidden pain,
floats on in Your rhythm and melody.

Your endless and unseen effulgence,
Your incomparable love song,

Singing the song of love,
I impart purity each moment.

I have come down
to this mortal sphere.
I am present day and night,
irrespective of what time it may be."

Though You are absolute and eternal,
You appear in the realm of duality.

Your divine game is limitless and intense.
And even after knowing this fact,
it is hard to understand You.

The intellect and intuition that consider and probe,
are also created by Your very own hands.

You do not appear to me in the web of reasoning.
You remain bound and knotted within my core.

You forever keep playing.

The waves danced rhythmically,
and the hope of attaining You
aroused in my heart.

The earth was brightened by the moonlight.
The sky smiled along the sandy beach.

I sat down,
forgetting my existence
and looking for You in the stream of time
immemorial.

Now that I think of You,
my "I" feeling perishes.
Life and death become the continuous effort of attaining You.

I am bound by a thread of love
through infinite rhythms and melodies.
My pleasure and pain revolve around adopting You only.

that arrival of Yours,

Even after attempts of ignoring You,
that introduction, I could not forget.
It floats on with the vibrating string of my internal viina.

sweetened with mental sweetness.

You left behind the marking of Your new touch.
In my eyes it remains even to this day.

and tied all to the bondage of love.

You are my ever companion of heavenly beauty.
You are the dearest amongst my dear ones.
You are the ocean of nectar.

O one beyond thought,
You came into ideation
and filled the whole world with attributes.

When I think of You I become speechless
and filled with astonishment.
And yet, I long to hold You with speech and language.

You are beyond the scope of the senses,
speech and mind.
This is why You have taken Your seat
in the recess of my mind.

Churning the essence of sandal,
who are You who came at this untimely hour?

Upon Your neck lies the garland of the three-layered universe,
shining with the sweetness of absorption.

Ever restless,
extremely hard,
bound by Your own law,
You are the charming stealer of mind.

There is heavenly effulgence on Your face.

You intoxicate the world
and bring the charm of Your beauty and attributes to it.

Though You are beyond attributes,
You still express Yourself though rhythms.

O singular Shiva!
O Lord!

You never accept defeat from the foolish challenges of devils.

and became attainable in it of Your own accord.

O Gopal of my mind,
staying within my mind,
You are spread throughout the world.

By Your beauty, flow, dance and lyrics
You turn my mind restless
and make it rush unto infinity.

The hunger of the world and the heavenly nectar
become one and lose themselves in singularity.

You intoxicate my mind
by making heaven meet it.

O Lord of the seven-layered universe,
You remain ever-revered, ever-blissful!

Kissing the red lines of tender leaves,
You spread affection.

For You there is no distinction between high and low.
You own the wealth of love's heavenly effulgence.

You are the rhythmic and shining touch of subtlety,
O Divinity!

All dirt accumulated in me,
all filth lying in the recess of my mind,
vanish by Your touch,
O announcer of the universal song!

My mind longs to look at You,
but due to shyness
my eyes are unable to do so.

The most difficult obstacles come and surround me.
My thoughts are fastened to hundreds of misdeeds.

I was in the petals of flowers,
but due to insect bites,
I withered away.

I was in the honey of flowers,
but became food for the black bee.

I came in daylight,
but got covered in darkness.

Now You are my only consolation.
Come smiling, fulfilling my non-deserving aspiration.

The love of my heart,
I offer unto You in its totality.

O my most beloved,
on which dark night,
along a stream of light,
did You come?

I was like a churned creeper,
flooded with pain,
affected by drowsiness.

There was no one to see me,
to pull me close with sweet effulgence.
I had neither purpose nor endeavour.

You were single, O incomparable One!

This dark night has now moved away far,
but I have not forgotten the events of that day.

Each moment,
through the gaps of memories,
they return to my mind.

that wiped out all my agonies,

Come with purity-enamelled royal adornment,
into an environment free from dark fog.
Come, pulsating in the moonlight sea,
as beach shells reflect a golden effulgence.

O great One,
You are beyond speech and thought.
The vast boundaries of the universe are located within You.
You are above and beyond the time factor.

And that is why all cherish You.

My distant, yet most beloved One, calls me,
attracting me with His flute playing,
and pulling my heart,
during my gaps of thought.

I do not want to respond,
though He calls me day and night,
through unknown tunes,
in the core of heart,
and in the flowering branches of my mind.

That friend of mine is beyond the time factor.
He is sweet, unseen and beyond thought.
He is the moon to abandon oneself to,
who remains coated with the pollen of love.

During a night illuminated by the full moon
He was with me.

He was with me
like the pollen of flowers,
drifting with love and beauty,
in the sweet breeze of my mind.

The moonlit night has disappeared,
and darkness came down on me.

The pollen of flowers dried up
due to the heat of forest fires.

The colourful sketch of the colour festival
that had imprinted its mark on my cheeks,
vanished into the past.

Deprived of its beauty,
and due to ongoing negligence,
I am fallen,
like blade of grass under His feet.

When will that most beloved of mine
look at me with a smile,
casting aside all my mental dirt?

Through ever-new sweetness, rhythm and songs.

of that essence and nectar of love
keeps vibrating with effulgence even to this day.

That incomparable contentment
in the rhythm of my core,
floats on even after His departure.

By Your charming flute
You aroused melodies
of lost lyrics and tunes.

In the depth of my mind,
in solitude and silence,
my cimmerian dark night came to an end.

I wished not to lose again
the tune that had just drifted away.
I thought and pondered
but could no more find its vibration.

In Your universe,
nothing gets ever lost;
things come and go each moment.

This essence of absolute truth,
I could not understand.
Hence my crying and weeping,
and my becoming melancholic.

Awaiting Your arrival, my days pass by.
Please tell me,
why have You not yet come?

The petals of buds that never blossomed
all withered away.
And the nectar accumulated in those flowers
no longer could subsist,
and all dried up.

The sweetness preserved for You for ages,
within stars and galaxies,
within the limits of beginning and end,
could not be poured into Your mind.

Whether You come or not,
my hope or despair.
my crying or laughter,
may bear no actual relevance to You.

Yet for me undergoing separation from You
and experiencing Your love are of crucial difference.

This fact You knowingly ignore.

With a garland threaded of flowers,
and which has no comparison,
I sit and await You.

Within their colourful petals,
My flowers carry honey.

In expectation of Your arrival,
my mind floats pollen-like
along the fragrance of these flowers.

I do not want anything from You.
That formless gem,
is already with me.

Searching within my mind itself,
I shall attain You,
O my most beloved One!

As a traveler oblivious of the path,
I have come.
Knowingly, I commit mistakes
and as its outcome,
I move.

I was alone,
unexpressed.
There was no duty nor action for me to perform.
There was nothing to see nor listen to.

In the momentum of movement,
from the world of effulgence,
I came to complete the work.

To me, there is neither own nor distant,
close nor far.
The bond is tight.

I came due to love
and to spread colour.

------------------------------------------

Though I've forgotten the path,
I am a traveler and I have come.
I knowingly make mistakes,
and because of those mistakes I move along.

I was completely alone, unexpressed.
There was no work or action for me to do,
nothing for me to see or listen to.

Disposed to moving from the world of light,
I came to finish the work.

To me nothing is my own,
and nothing is distant,
neither close nor far.
The bond is tight.

I came for love, to spread colour.

You cleaned the dust
and took me on Your lap.

I had neither name nor shelter,
but only dense darkness surrounding me.

You came to lift me up.
O how obliged I feel to You!

Other than You,
nothing else can I call my own.

You are the essence of the essence of all languages and thoughts.

Illuminating the path,
You are the ever present effulgence.

That song floats on the path of effulgence.
With a melody unheard of,
it flows along far away to the tinkling of my mental viina,
O embodiment of resonance!

Your song enlivens the rhythm and melody
of atoms and molecules.
O embodiment of effulgence,
Your lamp brings illumination to the stone prison.

For You,
with great effort,
I accumulated honey,
and preserved it carefully.

Come close,
come into my life,
and fill my whole existence with melodies.

Outside, the sandal breeze blows.
But in unfathomable and dense depths,
my heart cries profusely.

You are the embodiment of songs and of divine play.
You keep me immersed in an ocean of beauty.

You are effulgent and vibrant.
Affectionately make me Your own.

A wee bit of Your grace
and of subtlety of mercy,
resides layer by layer in each and every atom.

O most charming and enchanting Lord,
You smile amidst the assemblage of honeybees.
You make my heart sigh deeply.

By Your ideation,
the southern wind blows.
Due to Your mercy,
my mind gets sweetened.
And with Your effulgence and inspiration,
the greatness of love invades the sky.

The fragrance of flowers
seeks heavenly sweetness.
The distant blueness of the sky
decorates eyes.
And the fragrance of my mind drifts on,
without ever a chance to pause.

The sandal breeze swung by the sea bank,
in series of sweet oscillations,
and full of love,
taking along You and me.

The night was illuminated,
and drenched with the rays of the moonlight.

In the solitary depth of my mind,
only the to and fro movement of bees remained.

Without pausing even for a moment,
we floated on towards an unknown heaven.

Like an unobstructed flow of light in the clear sky,
that sweet memory floats into my mind and heart.

Though You are present everywhere,
I am still there,
letting the flower of love bloom layer by layer.

The milky way in the blue sky
appears like a line
coated with sandal paste.

My eyes are marked with ointment.
I am never alone.
My inside and outside have become one.

The peacock of my mind has spread its wings.
Opening its tail,
in sweet conversation,
it sings in an enchanting tune.

Opening the door-bolt
it has come out
from its prison house
where it had been crying.

The flower it got by Your touch -
How long will its fragrance remain?

With effulgence,
come each moment.

Come into my mental garden.
Come absorbed in sweetness.
You are my nearest and dearest,
as is the coastline to a river.

In the arbor of my heart,
groups of honeybees sing Your song.
They say Your glory never ends.

You are the divinity,
personifying as embodiment of love.

Stay with me in each breath and sound.
This is my prayer at Your feet.

He left alone,
in leafless sweetness,
spreading the wings
of sandal-coloured love.

The one I wanted
in the unlimited sky,
that swan,
I am now unable to see.

He was without limits,
full of beauty,
resonant in sweetness-absorbed flows.
The memory of that past speaks even today.

His countless movements are beyond thought.
The golden creeper of heaven
cannot be hidden by manoeuvres.

Through songs,
whispering into my ears,
You told that I should take it for granted
that You would come,
that I should ever keep "Him" in mind.

You did not come
O, stealer of mind!

See, and just think,
Your words did not materialise.

The way in which green trees burn
in the forest fire,
the way dry stones cry,
do not You ever think of them?

In what world do You remain,
forgetting all my mental agony?

From across the lane of forgetfulness,
whose life are You drawing an image of?

O effulgent One,
on which morning
did You come into my ravaged heart?

By removing the darkness,
and filling me with rhythm,
You made me forget delusion and fear.

In which unknown world You had been,
I do not know.
But I accept that You had showered grace upon the helpless.

You did not allow for pause in the mental stream
and had left.
Victory was certainly Yours!

O brother,
You brought the distant ones close.
and made the atom merge in the seven seas.

You are my single friend on the unknown path.
You are my ever companion.

O embodiment of consciousness!

An fairy came into the floral garden.
What for, who knows?

It pours honey into the flowers,
and whispers into their ears.

Floating floral fragrance from the pollen,
it disseminates it into the distant sky.

It merges the world of microcosms,
with the great vibration of the Macrocosm.

In colourful petals,
it kindles the lamp of effulgence.

It enters the mortal world
with the vibration of new light.

When He came,
stormy winds were blowing outside.

With a floral touch,
He entered my heart.

I did not recognise Him,
and did not realise
how He made me His own.

Cyclonic winds were blowing with tremendous speed.
Lightning appeared amidst stormy roars.

Arousing the song of fearlessness,
He whispered into my ears:
"In Your throat, sweetness lies absorbed."

The storm stopped
and a sweet sandal breeze came.

Even today that sweet memory remains ever shining.

He went far away,
wearing as adornment the symbol of my love,
and taking away with Him,
my internal voice.

O my dear,
stay ever around me!

Your sweet and succulent touch
fills everything with tenderness.

In this heavenly garden,
why remain alone?

The moonlight cries in my illuminated house.
The peacock's solitary call resounds in the depth of my mind.
None other do I have to wipe off my tears of pain.

You are the essence of the world's essences.
All want but You.

Creating the illusory universe,
in what web,
did You get entangled?

In this theatre of creation,
in this universe,
all revolve around You without pause.

There is no chance of rest.
All the fundamental factors -
ethereal, aerial, luminous, liquid and solid -
call You.

In Your ideation
the congregations of stars and heavenly bodies float,
ever kissing Your feet.

With the essence of flowers,
their surroundings are filled.

In expectation of the pollen of flowers
the honeybees come.
Is it because of counter-expectation that for them,
You came down to the world of mortals?

At the end of the ocean of darkness,
You came,
unfolding Yourself in the adornment of effulgence.

You came secretly into the recess of my mind
and made me see You in everything.

You do not expect anything from anyone.
Everything belongs to You.

Amidst the effulgence of hundreds of gems,
You radiate Your beautiful shine.

As honey of flowers,
as light of the moon,
You are the eternal companion of all,
hiding silently within this vibrant earth.

Who is that who came through the rising sun,
from above the mountains,
winning my mind and life?

Without telling anything,
You went away.
Why did You make me cry?

I didn't know You had been so dear to me,
so loving,
and so attractive.

I found You close,
within my heart.
Yet after kindling the lamp of my life,
You went away.

Whoever comes,
goes.
This is the law.

I thought You were exception to that.
I didn't know You had been present earlier on too.
Now I know that You remain forever.

O my dearest,
You initiated the rhythm of life,
and filled songs with language.

You filled the sky and air with hope,
and broke the delusion,
O great one!

Amidst nothingness,
You knew everything,
filling the void.

You gifted the festivity of light,
by pouring out the spirit of life.

To the unexpressed world,
You provided tunes
and filled the throats of the dumb.

The agony of non-existence was removed,
and the flood of the bliss of existence surged up.

The clouds sing amidst colours.
Such is the love of the sun.

Why did dewdrops start shining today?

The flowers do not understand
that the fragrance that appears
emanates from themselves.

It is for the glory of Him who filled them with fragrance.
This should be known.

The honey that lies today in their core,
self-selects from amongst the congregation of the world.
It is filled with His attributes.

His song is to be listened to.

my heart floats an unknown distance.

I see You in the dense dark night.
You are present in the corner of my mind,
filling it with beauty and flow.

You have taken all that was mine,
and in exchange,
You have given Yourself to me.

The white purity of winter reflects in the moonlit night.

Forgetting all,
You come into my churned core,
pouring sweetness into it.

You smile in the light of the moon.
You float in the fragrance of flowers.

Remove my agony
and the uncontrollable heat of my being.

Everything is located within You.
This fact I do know and understand.
O golden one!

My world is with You only.
You are my beginning and end.

You came today,
in the soft breeze,
with sweet rhythm and charming bliss.

Into the cave of my mind,
with tunes, melody and beauty,
what enchantment did You pour?

The one I have been waiting for,
that traveler, came,
overwhelming my heart.

Destroying the darkness accumulated throughout ages,
You coloured my small heart.

My waiting has been fruitful.
In the longing of my eyes,
floats Your ideation.

That which is beyond thought,
came within my reach,
came with form,
overflowing in the ocean of bliss.

He keeps dancing,
looking at all,
but does not ask.
Tell me why?

He pulls the mind,
without speaking,
ever vibrant with beauty and flow.

For Him there is no expecting.
He pours out from an overflowing heart.

This heart remains ever filled with the flow of love,
ever restless in the fragrance of love.

There is nothing for Him to speak out.
He is filled with inexpressible ideation.
He exists both in thought and beyond thought.

That lotus of intuition is sweet.

Tell me,
who is that who came with the rhythm of dance?

The tinkling sound of cymbals
resonated in the temple of my mind.
Whom were they worshipping?

You came into my mind with silent footsteps
and coming secretly, You remained there.

You sounded the ankle bell of silence.
You did not explain
for whom You played this divine game.

The movement of Your song was as frisky as that of a wild deer,
traversing my forest path.

In that memory my eyes bath,
smiling on the lane of my mind.

With the arrival of spring,
today, flowers bloom on each branch.

In the secret garden of my mind,
I was able to think of Him without shyness.

On my petals lay honey,
covering all shyness, fear and errors.

My long waiting was completed
and all my actions attained fruition.

I do not want Him to go out,
but keep Him held in my mind.

I fear that the King of kings
may suddenly forget me.

O dearest Lord,
You came rhythm after rhythm,
bringing down honey from the heavenly garden.

By a comparisonless touch of sandal,
my heart turned restless and fragrant.

The heavenly galaxy dances around You
with numerous beautiful adornments.

You came bringing heavenly sweetness,
and poured out insuppressible nectar.

Without You the moonlit night remains dark.
The earth is filled with Your sweetness.

Because You exist,
the world exists.
O essence of all essences,
I salute You.

With flashes after flashes,
You go on dancing.
What movement of Yours!

Is it that You knowingly create
only for the purpose of destruction?

You just unmindfully play alone
as though in stance
and beyond the time factor.

You do not listen to anyone.

Yet there is no one in this triple world,
whom I may decorate a permanent garland of love for.

decorating the earth in a new splendour.

O Creator of forms,
appear before me.

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

O King of kings,
You know how to play.

You are full of love
and yet, why do You make me weep today?

O Shameless one,
appear in my ignoble heart with rhythm and dance.

-------------------------------------------------

On the arrival of spring
the earth is harnessed with new decorations.
The living world is filled
with the sweet flow of love and beauty.

O creator, please come before of me,
opening my eyes and smiling sweetly.
Appear before us with an ever-charming face.

You only know Your divine play.
O Lord of lords,
You are the embodiment of love and affection.
But why do You make my heart cry out for You?
O shameless one,
please come into my shy heart.

Trying to forget You, is impossible.
Trying to attain You, is likewise impossible.

Wherever I come or go,
I stay within You.

You are the creator of all.
There is no second entity beside You.

You pervade and fill

You existed when there was nothing.

Please remain with me day and night.

Therefore, accept please,

In the still and dense night,

You are present in melody and rhythm,
during creation, sustenance and destruction.

Whimsically guiding the moving universe,
You make it dance in Your theatre.

Within what is unexpressed,
You kindle light.

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

In the roar of intense cyclones,
meagre thoughts all vanish.

Greenness has been covered by a blanket of dust;
all soft tenderness is lost.

The bamboo grove,
devoid of its sweetness,
screams in loud lamentation.

Do no longer stay under influence of lethargy.
Do not waste Your time uselessly.

Let us move together with the blessing of Rudra,
to struggle against the anger of that same Rudra.

Come with each rhythmic dance

the moon lies reflected.
They wish to hold the moon,
just as my mind aspires to attain You.

My small "I" has infinite expectations.
That is why it wants to pierce all limits.

You are the world's dearest,
You are its innermost and single ideation.

Therefore, by its own thread of love,
my mind wants to attain You.

The flow of effulgence came down to this earth, distressed and sorrowful.

It flows through the layers of the dancing human mind.
No one is to be left with a gloomy face, distressed and sorrowful.

To burn sins,
and subside obstructions,
it moves on,
piercing the darkness with light.

Innumerable hopes of bygone ages,
and heartfelt love,
combine together,
to bring about layers of fruits and flowers.

In that golden dream,
I saw a continent.

In that world,
there was no deprivation,
and no infliction of pain.

There, flowers were full of honey,
and on them, there were no thorns.

There, the moonlight flashed,
piercing through the dark night.

There, secretly, in some recess,
someone sang the song of infinity.

There, the river tides were high,
with no lowering to be observed.

There, bosoms were full of affection,
overflowing with the stream of love.

Entering that kingdom of effulgence,
I found the trace of love.

By Your mercy, O Lord,
the wee bit of Your grace overflows boundlessly.

Looking upwards,
I am unable to think anything.

Through the scarf of the blue sky,
and originating from love,
the special raindrop of swati,
enters the bosom of the shell,
and becomes a pleasing pearl.

Nothing ever accidentally comes along,
and nothing ever goes astray.
No high nor low is permanent.
Only Your effulgence lasts.

Tell me how,
O Lord,
through prayers,
can we continue worshipping You?

Why did this perplexity arise,
while decorating the floral offering for You?

With wick and lamp,
how can Your illuminating worship be conducted?

O one beyond words and mind,
prayers won't bind You even for a single moment.

The one whom the great cosmic sky cannot hold,
for You, temples are (ironically) made.

The one who cannot be described by scriptures,
how can He come and go in idols?

You came into my sweet garden,
filling it with sandal fragrance.

Each moment You smile softly,
radiating heavenly bliss.

I was alone in the garden,
and attained You while absorbed in bliss.
That light poured into my eyes,
the grandeur of Your love.

I had remained alone for ages,
searching for You
and calling You,
with melody and tunes.

After such long time
how was it that You finally came within my reach,
all on Your own,
and with a smile?

In the high sky above,
floats an assemblage of stars,
but down below,
the earth is restless.

In solitude I sit,
and, through the murmur of leaves,
I cry out for You.

There is no one to wipe my eyes.
No one to console me.

With choked impulse and a palpitating heart,
I can no longer bear Your divine play.

You shine like an emerald gem,
destroying the darkness in hearts.
O pardoner of mistakes!

Hundreds of times
do I bow at Your feet.
Do not make me go mad anymore.

O unknown traveler,
pause for a while,
I shall garland You.

With love and smiles,
I have decorated a fragrant floral bouquet for You.

I continue singing songs to please You;
I have rehearsed Your song with melody and rhythm.

By the attraction of love,
and with a sweetness-absorbed mind,
my mental ornament resonates.

Adoring You,
I dance in rhythm;
I am under overwhelming bliss
in the stream of nectar.

I do not want to take anything,
I only want to give my heartfelt love.

----------------------------------------------

O unknown traveller,
please wait a moment.

I wish to garland You
with the fragrance of flowers.
With smiles and love,
I have decorated this garland.

I am singing songs for You,
I am trying to understand the rhythm
and melody of Your music.

My restless, complex mind mind wants to go
to Your loving, sweet vibrations.

I dance in rhythm to attract You.
In the changing world,
flowing with the river of nectar,
I don't want to take anything,
I only want to give.

Just love me and make me full of life.

You are the supreme Lord.
You are the restless sandal breeze,
and You are the controller of the universe.

You call by signal from infinity
and lift unto Your lap the neglected ones.

Everything limited approaches You for shelter.

You bring the unknown close
and make the small ones big.

Continue showering Your causeless grace,

Who is that effulgent You who came
bringing the lamp of hope?

Through rhythm and melody,
You have scattered the sweetness of language.

Floating in the current of Your stream,
the sincere longing arose.
The goal was achieved by His love.

Due to whom,
does the history of infinite time unfold?
You are that worshipped embodiment of consciousness.

The flow of creation continues through diverse forms.
This universe will never be annihilated.

You shall forever continue to stay in the flow of this divine game,
O self effulgent entity!

He came into my mind
from across the ocean of darkness.
He came as fountain of effulgence.

Piercing through the wall of obstacles,
He smiled.

I did not think about it even for a moment.
I did not suppress my joy of attaining Him.
And yet, that essence of nectar came close to me.

The sorrow of non-attainment
or worrying about losing time,
are no longer,
since His love flows from above the time factor.

to which destination,
does the swan glide in the blue sky?

What is the ending feeling
left in that blueness?

All the stars look on in astonishment.

Abundant amounts of moonlight,
seemingly flowing into a vacuum,
smile and encourage.

The human beings of the earth
look upwards,
offering their farewell
with song after song.

The eastern hill,
with the pull of crimson colour,
longs to merge with the sky.

My days are passing by thinking of You.
In that deep contemplation,
my mind floats on towards its origin.

And yet, I never reach the shore of the terminus.

In this vast cosmic creation,
my value is just
that of one tiny drop in the huge ocean.

In spite of this,
I long for You.
And I am certain
that I will attain You.

I do not know
when the culmination of my dhyana will take place
or when You will accept me.
Neither do I know
when Your divine form will illuminate
the core of my heart.

This can only happen when You grace me.

Under this ashoka tree,
during the evening
of this month of caetra,
with or without work left pending,
I remain seated
and under the spell of delusion.

In this sweet spring month,
on a sweet sandal breeze,
the bee comes rushing about
in the hope of honey.

Engrossed in pain,
the dropped leaf cries out
with the burning sensation of separation.

The ashoka tree has dried out.
Its leaves and flowers are no longer.

The bees have left the path
and shed tears
in memory of that tree bereft of honey.

With vibrant beauty,
You came into the deep recess of my mind.

I had no acquisition whatsoever,
neither was I deserving,
and therefore remained humiliated.

My body was rain-drenched,
like a rainbow in the after-rain sky.

I offered all my belongings
to the song of hope and despair.

There is no one for me other than You.
I want only You,
in exchange of everything else.

I keep thinking about You only,

The dearest one exists within all,

He cries and smiles,
taking all with Him,
as He dances within all minds.

He expresses His form each moment
as He embodies within them.

In the pulsation of all veins,
He resides as red colour.

Without considering near or far,
high or low,
or reactive momenta,
that great and most liberal entity,
simply demands the touch of love.

come still closer to me.

Fill my heart with irresistible melody,
and pour in it the hope of attainment.

When the sun rose,
the awakening of consciousness had been delayed,
buried in deep slumber.

Into my terror-stricken life

You appeared with smiling decorations.

I had nothing to say,

There was no sincere desire within me for a brilliant goal

O effulgent divinity,
stay in the dark black pupil of my eye.

With the festive colour of clouds,
You maintain my mind colourful.

In the close vicinity of light and darkness
and the mixture of pain and pleasure,
I move forward,
with You observing my movement.

Our mutual acquaintance,
for time immemorial,
has been taking place through the voice of the heart.

Let my smiling and crying,
with rubies and emeralds,
attain fruition in the divine sphere.

Piercing through the darkness of the night,
who came
with a twang of light?

At the end of all desires and achievements
He gave me answers.

Staying within the subject,
He rushes in and out,
and again away from the subject.

After such a long time,
after lapses of eras,
He made my mind His own,
fulfilling all my wishes.

My mind was filled with the bliss of attainment,
its vibrant wave forever pacified at Your feet.

pauselessly at work.

Forgetting You,
I bear no existence.
By keeping You within,
I attain everything.

You are my hope, peace and love.
Remain with me in pleasure and in pain.

You are the honey in flowers,
that has been covered with petals.
You are the moon in the sky,
on which has been pasted heavenly nectar.

In the three worlds,
You are my only friend.
You surround all individually and collectively.

Attaining You close,
my mind floats on without ever seeing the shore,
without ever blinking,
keeping the door of my mental world open.

You are close,
yet, why do You not remain grounded?
You come and go in a jiffy,
continuing Your game of hide and seek.

I have neither intellect nor intuition.
Yet I know You as essence.
For You, tears flow from my eyes.
You are the basic root of my life.

sometimes You radiate effulgence.

Do light a lamp in my dark house;
and destroy the pitch darkness of my mind.
Pour nectar into my dry heart;
and do not make me ask You where You are.

You are the very foundation of all.
You are the basis of all intuition.
You are the topmost smiling sahasrara
and provider of help under all conditions.

O Lord of the heart,
in the world of songs You keep gliding,
all by Yourself -

from an origin in time immemorial,
on an infinite path,
sketched with colours -

vibrating with melody, rhythm and tunes,
spreading the sweetness of ideation.

Thoughts merge into the realm beyond thoughts,
even vibrating the nebulae.

There is no place where there is no song.
The light of life is obtained in the heart.

The fragrance of life keeps spreading,
disseminating the nectar of love.

That morning,
amidst fallen night jasmine flowers,
on the dew-washed path,
what for did the one whose name I do not know come?

The mental deer of kash colour,
rushes on, dancing in the distance.

It does not accept the bondage of time,
traversing the rocky path.
It does not pause,
nor rests for a moment.
It moves on, holding the rein.

I love You.
Due to the pull of vitality,
and bound by the rope of love,
I cry a moment and smile another.

my mind remembers You.

Amidst the floating of silvery and white clouds,
swans keep singing,
uninterruptedly throughout the night.

The moonlight covers the stars.
The sky and the air are laden with nectar.

Today, due to the touch of Your love,
nobody remains alone anywhere.

Opening all the doors of my mind,
I call You in self-forgetfulness.

O leading consciousness,
opening Your eyes,
look at me with beauty and colour.

Who is that calling me in the depth of my mind?

I do not know or recognise Him.
He calls secretly through gaps of feelings.
I am unable to understand Him.
Why am I unable to?

I had been determined not respond to Your call any longer.
Whatever the call with each blink of Your eye,

whatever the glimpses of the flow of light that would peep through the windows,
I would ignore it all.

But there is no end to Your call.
It persists,
sweetened with tune, melody and rhythm.

Remaining unknown, He wins the mind.
Intellect is unable to understand Him.

O most respected one in the three worlds,
You are in the eternal vibration of the mind.

Your complexion is like a brilliant white mountain.
You resonate with the grave sonorous voice of the silvery sea.
You make the dumb ones speak.

And with Your long horn You make Yourself heard by all.

You were in the past,
You are present now
and You will stay in future,
kissing and piercing through the all-auspicious symbol.

This is why I salute You hundreds of times.
You remain tied in the bond of love.

in a choked house,
I was sleeping all alone.

Suddenly He came,
broke my slumber and made Himself seen.
Who were You?
That slumber had kept me inert for ages.

O effulgent one,
You brought in illumination by opening my windows.
Now only light prevails,
with no trace of darkness to be found anywhere.

Into this awakened life of mine,
You pour Your sweet and affectionate love.

The sandal breeze blew that spring.
There was no one to obstruct it.
It rushed from beginninglessness to endlessness,

The shy wind wanted to know
that my singing of songs had not been useless.

With each melody,

I shall bloom flowers,

and I hope for You,

In the firmament of my heart,

O who is that traveler,

You never heed any obstruction,
You are never stopped by anything.
You do not know anything other than love.
Towards what are You moving?

There is no fear, hatred and shyness in You.
Hence You are foremost,
encompassing the whole world.
There is no beginning, middle or end of Yours.

We cannot hold You by praise and language.
Speechlessly, I thus wonder
what (on earth) I should offer that would satisfy You.

You said,
"Have you forgotten that since innumerable, hundreds of eras,
You have been moving with me,

as unknown, beatless one.
I have ever remained together with you,
but you did not ever recognise me."

I replied,
"That was my fault,

You do not hate any good or bad quality,
You see all with equal feelings.

O Lord,
I salute You,
I adore You.

The sky is full of light,
the air sweetened.
In the recess of my mind,
what does that friend of mine secretly desire?

I want to offer Him my all,
though He does not tell me what He wants.

That embodiment of bliss
flows nectar through smiles and laughter.

During this best season ever,
the King of kings of my mental altar,
today came to me,
clad as full moon of love.

O dear,
for You I will do everything,
even should You bring thunder, storms or meteorites.

By Your name I came to the path
and became enchanted by Your softly golden being.

By Your song,
I coloured my mind.
I know that You are a unique entity.

In the summer heat or in the intense winter,
in the shade of a tree or in the desert,
in the lightless dark well,
provide me with strength.

----------------------------------------

I shall do everything for You, my Lord.
If You throw a thunder,
if a cyclone appears,
if there comes lightning from the sky,
I will do everything and anything for You.

I have come to the real path by Your name.
I am overawed by Your golden shrine.
I coloured my mind with Your song.
I know that there is only one You.

In the heat of the sun,
in cold weather,
in the shadow of tress,
in the desert,
in the deep whole where no light enters,
I will be waiting for Your help.

Come secretly into my eyes
and pour love into the recess of my mind.

In sleep, while day dreaming or at night,
whisper Your song into my ears.

Nothing actually belonged to me;
I was an empty representation of dust.

From within the fountain of hope,
fill me to the brim
with rhythm and song.

You are a flower and I am a thorn,
You are the tide and I am the flow.
You are light and love.

With the beauty of the morning's crimson light,
colour my mind.

Come to my house as flow of love.

You are the heavenly essence of nectar;
You are the unprecedented bliss of the divine game.
You make one cry in a moment and smile in another.
O vibrant and immeasurable one!

You are not bound by the expressions of Your attributes.
You do not get caught by what is merely a show of beauty.

By sitting topmost,
come as my guide.
O one without blemish!
O inexpressible one!

On which morning,
was I introduced to You?
Not today was that.

The loving garland of my memoirs
and the bouquet of flowers
have not been preserved.

The more I think of You
the more the stream of life flows upwards.
Revolving and rotating,
my mind dances on with rhythm.

In the morning's crimson colour,
You entered my mind.
What consciousness did You arise in me!
O embodiment of heavenly song.

O dear friend,
You are covered with heavenly sweetness.

You stay close filling the mind,
yet You are not seen.
You exist in the depth of the ocean,
yet You sing Your song in the tune of the blue sky.

You keep everyone tied with the rope of love.
No one is alone.
None can leave You.

By philosophy and science,
You are not to be attained.

Ever since time immemorial You have been the only sadhana.
Abandoning You is impossible.

remove the exhaustion on the movement of my path.

So that the tray laden with floral garlands
may not dry up by my heated breathing.

Looking at Your face,
I shall continue doing Your work,
I shall continue singing songs to please You.

Let my heart be Your abode,
O Lord, this moment.

While continuing to move on the path,
I shall not stop
and while moving,
I will not look back.

I shall never stop and tremble with fear
for in the end, I shall merge in You.

Then O divinity,
tell me why do not You speak

You float upwards,

and into the stream of ideation.

You do not come into the pupil of my eyes.
You do not understand my restlessness.

You exist secretly in the recess of my mind
and in the depth of my heart.

You appear in the depths and pores of darkness
as the well rehearsed tune of a lost song.

O merciless one,
listen to just one matter of mine.
Why do You give my mind so much agony every single moment?

In which past,
deluding me in Your liila (divine game),
and ignoring my wellbeing,
did You provide me with a mind?

Due to that negligence,
storms blow in my mind each moment.

If I had no mind,
I would not desire anything.

By giving me a mind,
You gave me bondage.

Why have You forgotten this debt of Yours?

O Lord,
do not forget me.

There is no harm in You not loving me,
but do not wipe me from Your mind.

I am not a thorn on Your path.
I simply lie beside the path,
with tear-filled eyes consoling my mind.

I do not have a past full of glory.
I do not find the fragrance of flowers in my heart.

But I still love You,
and smile amidst hundreds of agonies.

Just do not abandon me please.

Who is that effulgent entity
that came on such a pitch dark night?

Do not remain unthinkable,
as eyes cannot perceive You.

After undergoing penances for innumerable eras,
You came tonight.

By the bright ideation of mind,
You arose and expressed Yourself,
O embodiment of song.

With opened eyes,
I see that You are with me.

O embodiment of consciousness,
to each era,
You bring the illuminating light of Your lamp.

O beautiful eyed one,
listen,
there is no end to imagination and ideation,
whatever creation You may come up with.

From beyond the dark ocean,
the waves of Your song enter the stream
with tune, rhythm and melody.

There is no end to it,
whatever counting You may try to perform.

Holding the flow of effulgence,
on a path of unknown origin,
Your song floats on with a fainting twang.

Who can terminate all that?
Tell me.
Such an end can never be thought of.

Below this blooming bakul tree,

From within the depth of my mind,
in isolation from everything else,
You opened all my doors.

I was all alone covered in dark inertia,
keeping away the ray of light.

In the infinite sky
decorations of light abounded
but inside my mind
lay cimmerian darkness.

You came close,
kindled my lamp
and unified my inside and outside.

O divinity of the far sky,
what for did You come to this earth?

To the heart,
You brought heavenly sweetness,
pouring it all into it.

You never expect anything.
You never love anyone out of selfishness.
Bestowing Your causeless grace to all,
You ever continue dancing.

As shelter of all,
You do not have any base.
By Your touch,
You happily destroy the darkness.

Playing Your momentary illusive game,
You lie hidden within the mind each and every moment.

The sky calls through the gaps of clouds,
the air calls by staying damp.

In the cloud-filled sky of the rainy and flood month of bhadra,
shiuli flowers drop onto the path.

My mind does not stay at home any more.
An unknown entity has maddened it.

There is no obstruction left in speaking out.
My inner core breaks all obstacles.

Inside my mind lies sweetness,
but the traveler who brought it is not close by.
From His hiding place He calls me,
but I do not know from where.

For a momentary touch of Yours,
I remain awake day and night.

O Lord of all places of pilgrimage
and destroyer of all darkness.

The first time Your light entered my home,
enchanting my mind,
that day, all my good and bad merged into You.

There is nothing outside of You.
But even staying within,
I am unable to hold You.
After remembering You,
I forget.

And yet, I still love You.

O dear,
secretly and within Your own mind,
You create the world.

The inner feelings and events of my mind
resemble the decorations on a peacock's tail.

I collect flowers in my hand to provide satisfaction to that mind.
I search gems to bring illumination to it.

Its thoughts shall not prove undesirable obstructions.

My action is to satisfy You,
to shine in Your mind.

O my dear,
O love radiating entity,
make me act according to Your wishes.

During the sweet moments of my mind,
come on a lane filled with love.

Through the soft sound in the sandal breeze,
come, smiling with a flower-like face.

I kept preserved the honey of my heart
for Your reception only.

Standing in front,
spreading both Your hands,
O dear,
accept it with a smiling face.

I am not pure like a flower,
but by the flow of Your pure mercy
I can be purified in a moment,
and have the fire of my agony removed.

O merciless one,
Your love remains mixed with tears.

I want You with a smiling face,
but by flowing the river of separation,
You make me cry.

You never allow that which is easily obtainable
to be attained easily.

You move along a curved path,
like the continuous up and down movement of the wind.

I had thought that by moving along a straight path,
in this illusive world,
I would merge in You instantaneously.

Is it due to that fear
that You created such a law?

O hope to make me forget my agony and sufferings!
And to remove all my repentance and disgrace,
accumulated in hundreds,
within a moment.

Nobody except You is mine.

To whom can I relate the pain of my heart?
To whom else other than You can I narrate
the inner feelings of my three worlds?

O heavenly effulgence,
O dearest divinity,
whisper Your heavenly song into my ears.

I have threaded an exquisite garland of blooming flowers
to intimately place around Your neck.

Through the deliverance of light,
holding the foggy path,
those who had gone far away,
returned back home again.

Light exists because You exist.
Life is present because You are present.
Those who forget You are surrounded by darkness.

I do not know any deities or other living beings.
Neither do I recognise any heaven or hell.

O great effulgence,
it is around You only that my life pivots.

You are the crimson effulgence in the morning.

By dyeing my own mind with Your colour,

that will provide the light for the whole day.

Seeing You in the moonlit night,
the peacock starts dancing in frenzy.

The swan keeps gliding with dancing wings,
and neither is it without a nest.

All survive due to Your effort,
by holding You in their heart.

Come with each pious sound.

Come in meditation.
Come with cosmic sound.
Come in the oscillating wind.

There is nothing left to say,
whatever is being thought
is really what the mind desires.

By Your impulse,
I sing songs remembering You.

You are the sweet essence,
O dearest,
like a white wave in the stream of nectar.

Destroy these accumulated sins of mine,
and come into the secluded shade of my core.

The light came, the flower smiled.

By Your morning footsteps, life awoke.

Due to the impact of that light,
honey was poured into the bud
that due to shyness
had remained covered for such a long time.

Your heavenly song resonated in each melody,
previously buried in darkness.

The fact that no one had spoken for such a long time,
the agony that had never been expressed through any mouth,
the history that had never been written down,

all these attained form,
(blooming) as do flowers and (ripening) as do fruits.

At the coast of my mental quarry,

with the rays of the sun light.

That singular entity existing in the world
knows all minds.

The stars surround that singular effulgent entity.
And all love Him from the core of their heart.

that all are surviving,

By the melody of His song,

every so often,
all are being charmed.

You were with me face to face
but turned around and hid Yourself.

Have You forgotten me?
What is this divine game with my heart?
Why did the soft 'You' become hard?

You were in the form of honey,
placidly residing in the core of the flower,
but became burning like lightning and thunder.

With the thunderous expression of dismay
and with a frightening roar,
Your affection vanished
and the pollen became stone.

I have known now Your introduction.
Your work is not pertaining to hardness.
You will become soft and sweetness-filled again.
Smile in the core of my heart with melody and rhythm.

My restless heart passionately tells about Your glories.

his load is also taken on by You.

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

You are the Himalayan mountain covered with snow.

Originating in limitlessness,
Your white ice remains infused with love.

This ice melts with compassion,
and brings about floods of water.

Lifting the greenness of young grass with both Your hands,
You create heaven.

The mountain god expresses his salutations to You.

You are the controller of clouds and the the abode of Shiva.

You keep pouring Your blessings on the distressed ones
through eternal flows of water,

O friend!

O my most beloved,
when shall You come to me with rhythm and song?
In the golden flow of Your melody,
tell me smilingly and with heartfelt expression.

Tell me You will never forget me
and that under no circumstances shall I ever move away from You.

Forever together,
absorbed in the sweetness of ideation,
I shall go on floating like the pollen in a flower.

By Your love, the earth is full of dance.
By Your song, limits dissolve into the unlimited.
Your principled path is the cherished desire of all,
leading to the sweetest desideratum.

What a riddle is this?
What a fog is this?

You are there close by
but do not come within my reach.

Why is Your love covered with darkness?

The fountain of effulgence vanished into the unlimited
and the tinkling of Your viina resounds full of tears.

Come closer, break whatever obstruction remains
and wipe out this dark line.

I love You and know that You love me.
I am offering the core of my being,
please do feel it.

Smile into my mind,
and touch the core of my heart.

I move on pauselessly
with the strength and treasure that You provided,
yet I do not search You.

I stay in Your home,
within You,
I move along Your path,
I speak about You,
and continue singing Your song,
and yet, I do not recognise You.

You have given me everything,

I take everything,
but You do not take anything.

You move on holding the torch,
but I do not kindle even a matchstick.

I have no existence without You.

At the call from far away,
who is that coming with each song?
Who is that You?

You do not want anything.
You simply whisper songs into my ears.

Dewdrops continuously fall from the grass.
My mind is intoxicated with the fragrance of the shefalii flower.

In the smiling long grass,
Prakrti dances with resonating rhythm,
moment by moment.

With an adornment of red light,
and with sadness,
the planets and stars
surround You in the cosmic cycle.

Who are You who came,
free from impurity,
without being called
and appearing in my mental garden?

Those lives that lay unconscious in deep sleep
started seeing anew with both eyes opened.

Do not remain sleeping,
get up this time,
Your field of work awaits you!

This essential sphere of action
is present each moment throughout life.

There is no bondage of fear and attachment.
There is no looking back or worrying for no reason.

Move forward,
forgetting the cries of the past.
Move along the path
that every moment is coloured with hue.

If any time You happen to remember me during Your leisurely hours,
just keep in mind that I am Yours only.

Although I am surrounded by hundreds of faults,
I remain coated with love.
Do not abandon me considering me burden.

I come and go by Your wish.
Other than You,
I have none.

There is no mistake in my loving You,
as my existence becomes meaningless without You.

O polestar to the lost voyager on the path!
O fountain of light in the dark night!

You are the flow of water in the dry land,
the origin of contentment
and the essence of nectar.

You pour out with love
the essence of nectar.

How much You have been my own,
I have today understood by Your grace.

Come close into my heart.
Nobody will know.
So why hesitate?

Births after births come,
numerous deaths have brought about sweetness.

My revolving around You has become fruitful today,
decorated with beauty and flow.

--------------------------------

You exist in drop of tears.
You exist in smiling flowers.
O kind hearted Lord!
In the flow of You nectar
I pour forth my love.

You are very close to me.
By Your grace I can realise this truth.
Come close into my heart.
What prevents You from doing so?

Lives after lives have come and gone.
Series of deaths have brought forth nectar.
My life rotates around You.
My movement around You
finds true meaning in beauteous forms and flows.

During a cold night,
intimately and in silence,
I was introduced to You.

I loved You.
You were the embodiment of my love.

With the twinkling strings of my viina,
this small heart of mine arose intoxicatedly.

O embodiment of the universe,
from within the origin of unseen effulgence,
You radiate light.

The wavelets of melody kept floating,
from my heart to the far sky.
And all limiting bondages vanished,
when You made me Yours.

O Lord,
by Your blessing
I move forward,
holding on to Your path.

There is nothing I can call my own.
And not even "I" can I say to myself.

Intoxicated with pride,
I had kept my mind away from You.

But when I looked inside my heart,
I found You surrounding it.

I possessed self-esteem and glory,
and enhancing its periphery,
my darkness kept spreading,
both in my inside and my outside.

I accept You alone.

O divinity,
why is Your love is a tear-filled one?

Why does Your coming and going remain unknown
and why does Your message stay hidden?

You are not to be realised by philosophy and science.
Requests and prayers do not convey what You really want.
You come by the attraction of love only.

And with what sweetness!

You do not pay heed to pride
and do away with the defect of choice.
You stay in simple love,
and bestow the sweetness of affection.

Please do understand this restlessness of mine.

The colourful fairy,
while flying away,
said,

"Come with me.
But do not ask which is my country
or where this journey ends.

My flying started
the moment I opened my eyes,

Along the path of the flow of light,
at the never-ending call of the infinite,
have I been flying.

I move forward,
my flying never ends.
I understand pain of all
and the solicitude of humanity.

I want to take all with me.
This has been my spiritual practice since time immemorial."

--------------------------------------

The colourful fairy flew, saying:

"Why don't You come with me?
Where is my country, where is my home?
Don't ask me this!

I started flying since I opened my eyes.
In the path of light and in the unending call of the Infinite

I move forward.
My flight has no end.

I understand the pain of all and the lamentation of the mind.
I want to take all with me.

This is the only desire of the eternal time."

Whispering into my ears,
You told me the facts.

You activated my heart
that had bent low
due to the heavy load of sorrows.

There was no one to understand my pain.
No one had time to listen to me.
No one looked at me with a graceful look.
All had left, ignoring me.

You came silently and in isolation,
and spoke to me with a happy mind,
"You are not alone on this earth,
I am with you, heart to heart."

Awakening my mental bee,
my dear one came to my home.

I had nothing in my hut
to welcome Him
and to offer Him.

I had not expected that He would come
and make colourful, my ray of hope.

I had not expected that,
giving the honey of the heart,
with both His hands,
He would smile, full of love.

The touch-gem beyond hope,
came to break the bondage I was trapped in.

I did not hear any footstep sound.
He came illuminating me with surprise.

You are the nectar surrounded by hope.
I constantly look towards You.

Invoking the song that would attain You,
I have been rehearsing its melody.

You have been my beloved
since time immemorial,
worth worshipping with heart and soul.

You have filled with beauty and colour
whatever song I sing.

Without You there is no light,
and nothing good on this earth.

You kindle the light of love.
This fact I understand from the core of my heart.

O dear,
You went away whispering into my ears
that You would come here again.

I told that,
singing songs for You,
I would pass the dark night.

Yet, thereafter how many ages passed?
How many stars set down?
How many tender leaves matured and dropped,
waiting for Your advent?

Why do You forget the promise that You had given?
Why are You unable to listen to the call of my core?

Whatever logic and reasoning You may show,
You cannot forget me.

Having kindled my lamp,
I depart to a far-distant place.
Looking at my light,
please remember me.

I float on along melodies and rhythms,
mixing my love with Your song.

I tune the strings of my viina to the musical octave.
But I do not know

whether the melody I play is set right or not.
Tell me whether this melody is known or unknown.
This much only I had wanted to ask You.

O king of songs,
emperor of melodies,
You are grandeur,
with Your own glory.

O controller of the world,
You are great in wealth.
And with Your effulgence,
the earth overflows.

You make me float in tears.
Yet, in the corners of my eyes,
You sweetly smile.

What an illusive game of Yours is this?
What a cruel play!
And still You say You love me.

What undulating love,
sometimes pleasing,
sometimes sorrowful.

One moment You go,
one moment,
into the canopy of my mind,
and with the touch of a flower,
You come.

I cannot stay without You.
The honey of my mind would wither away.

Remembering You with restless vitality,
why does Your dance appear in my core?

Spreading Your gentle feet,
You aroused frenzy.

I have been loving You ages since,
remaining awake,
on innumerable cloudy days and dark nights.

From beyond the sphere of hope,
You came and intoxicated my mind.

Even after realising You as unknown,
I love You.
Tears flow from my eyes at the bank of attainment and loss.

O dear,

in the light of this crimson morning
amidst the sweet chirping of birds.

I know that the mind always desires more than it gets.
It does not simply want only as much as it needs.

You are above all desires and attainments.
You speak in my mental language,
from within the recess of my mind.

I am a flower floating in the stream of Your feet.
I was without shore and found a bank today.
Have mercy and look at me.

Why did You come during this sweet night
if You would not stay in my home?

I have been sitting and awaiting You
age after age,
with an ever new garland in hand.

I have heard from everybody's mouth
that no one is as soft as You are.

Having sung the song of Your affection,
why do I see You being the reverse?

No one is as hard as You are.
Even the hardest stone cannot be compared to You.

Still, what pleasure do You derive thus dressing up?
In both Your soft and Your hard dresses?

I had hoped to decorate You
with flower petals from my own garden.

But that desire was not fulfilled as time passed by.
By the impact of dewdrops, my flowers withered away.

I myself then made a bed of flowers and kept it wet carefully.
I had poured the honey of my heart into those flowers,
to offer You, O bee.

Within the boundary of time all go and come.
I assumed that my garden would again smile
and that Your image would appear to me
with love and affection each and every moment.

in the smile of the moon,

and in the the rays of the sun.

Who is that You,
that emperor of light,
that creator of all,
and Great one in His own right?

You are beyond the world,
highly revered, vast,
and residing within each and everyone.

Grant me highest order of devotion and love,

O eternal companion,
come during my happy days too,
and bring with You the essence of nectar.

Show Your sweet smile and play Your charming flute,

Stay with me in pain and pleasure,

stay both in timely or untimely fashions.

My mind wanted to call You to come
but due to shyness I could not do so.

Innumerable lapses were accumulated
through which it is now difficult to see.
Whatever the reasons for those lapses might have been,
I remain Yours.

Even staying far away,
You are my essence of essences.
In my life,
You are immeasurable and limitless.
This fact I have understood.

When my life rests absolutely,
You carry fragrance.
By bringing about flows,
You make it active.

In the dry river, You create floods,
O carrier of ice.

Therefore, the right to speech may one day arise in me.

Never speaking, You listen without ears.

Whatever the grief of my separation from You,
constantly pinching my mind,
You understand it all,

By more oral and repeated calls,
I merely keep You away from me.
In the realm of sentiments,
neither acting nor deception will work.
Both You and I admit this fact.

I saw You come along the floral avenue.
There was song in Your vocal chord
and a sweet smile on Your face.

The bakul flowers were lying scattered
under the tiny tree
and an unparalleled fragrance arose from them.

Taking them, I began threading a garland for You,
that You would put on.

Shiuli flowers had dropped below the tree,
during dew wet winter period.

Deceiving me,
You left before I could complete threading my garland.

With the sweet respiration of the sandal breeze,
who is that who came into my floral garden?

I could not have imagined,
I could not see although I wanted to,
I remained sitting unmindfully.

I could not hear any footsteps.
You did not show any indicating sign either,
and I did not perform any welcoming action.
You arrived uncalled with a smiling face.

It is difficult to understand Your divine play.
You are hard one moment
and loving in another.

You are beyond comprehension,
unlimited and immeasurable.

That is why,
in meditation,
I offer myself to You.

During this sweet night I think of You.
The sandal breeze smilingly comes floating,
surrounding me from all sides.

Today the earth is eagerly restless.
The tender petals of my mind cry due to separation.

Your sweet smile appears on the screen of my memory
and Your face remains fixed in my mind
despite my efforts to remove it.

I shall continue thinking of You
and to sing Your song.

O dear,
I shall attain You,
and to that end,
I remain fully awake.

A lot about me has been said,
now, please tell about Yourself only.

Take me along Your path,
bathing me in the stream of light.

I had remained engrossed in myself,
singing only my own songs.

Today, I set adrift the boat of Your name,
now let it sail to Your melody.

O beautiful one,
You are the only eternal entity,
everything else decays.

O eternally effulgence,
the tide has come,
now untie the boat.

When You / I (?) left along the road,
the song You had sung,
still resounded in my mind.

The creeper of love,
though very small,
swings the mind even today.

By Your song,
flowers bloom,
as if amidst golden light,
a red vermilion mark had been displayed.

The festivity of bliss snatched away my sleep.
My heart started leaping.

The days pass,
the moments pass,
time does not belong to anyone.

Only its acquaintance mark remains,
in the form of hope and despair.

Smiles and tears leave their impression on the screen of memory.
This only remains recorded in history.

O Lord,
by Your thread of love,
You have kept me tied.
I will never forget You.

With tears and a heavy heart,
I remember You even today.

You are my daylight
and the darkness of my night.
O soft and hard Lord,
You are both my good and bad.

You surround me as sunlight
in both heat and cold.

I cannot be separated from You.
You keep the whole world united,
though You may tear apart hopes.

You will forever remain ingrained in my memory.
You are present in both loss and gain.
You encompass everything.

The song You had sung in the garden,
is still resonating in my mind.

The adornment You wore on Your smiling face,
still appears in my mind.

The desire of my mind became entirely fulfilled.
Its pain having been removed,
my mind now shines with illumination.

You are basically mine
and then only belong to others.
Stay with me day and night.

From an unseen origin,
an unknown effulgence came passing through heaven,
flooding me.

You are ever mine.
You are the essence of all essences.
I love You both consciously and unconsciously.

O my dear,
You are the life of everyone.

What song shall I sing for you?
Into Your song,
an ever new melody
floats down from heaven.

I started my journey from an unknown origin,
passing through the stream of time.

O effulgent entity,
You silently fill my life,
in solitude and secrecy.

You do not ever abandon me,
rather You keep me with You, making Your own.

Though I am not deserving,
You pull me close,
affectionately bathing me in liberation.

O dear,
come to my hut once at least by mistake.

I have no quality by dint of which I can call You.
I have no ocean-like knowledge,
neither do I possess intellect.

Having no merit,
I remain humiliated as nobody wants me.

You alone are the sole confidence
and colourful hope of a destitute.
My thirst and love surrounds but You.

The bud that appeared in my mind -
make it bloom by Your touch.

In the solitary depth of my heart,
I shall decorate Your altar with that flower.

By providing strength to me,
You awakened my sincere desire,
and quenched my entire thirst.

Now only one curiosity remains:
O when shall You look at me?

Who says that You are harsh?
You are indeed as soft as a flower.
I was under a wrong impression.

You show us our true form,
coming close and smiling.
The external covering that You show
is not Your true nature.

I have understood that tenderness is covered by harshness.
The dry covering does not inhibit

the sweet fragrance and taste of a fruit,
and likewise, though dry,
the soft touch in a flower is evident.

Those who have traveled through the serpentine and crooked path,
come back again.

Those who have decorated themselves in brightness,
removing the darkness of dirt, also return.

It is impossible to stay, leaving You.
Nothing remains pleasant, forgetting You.

By Your touch,
with the joy of love,
all rush close.

Who wants to stay covered in mist?
Who wants to miss those flashing charms that intoxicate?
For those who constantly keep You in their mind,

each moment passes in joy.

with the sound of ankle bells,
who is that You,
who keeps calling me,
playing melodies on the flute?

I am unable to ignore it,
this unbarred effulgence
that responded with removing
the covering petals of my mind.

You have no other work to do.
You merely keep calling me.
Is there none else other than me in this world?

Whenever You want,
simply take me with You
and place me as an adornment within Your form,
as per Your wish.

All the love and affection,
all the fragrance-carrying pollen,
all the musical modes and submodes
mixed with melody and rhythm,
You scattered about on the earth -
what is this play of Yours?

You filled the receptacle of form
with the ideation of the formless.

O Lord,
irrespective of whether You choose to respond or not,
I shall keep calling You

through my kiirtan and dhyana.

To call You is my duty and my work.
And this way I will also be able to know
what work You have.

The rush of the restless breeze
and the humming of the swaying trees in the forest
call You each moment.
Do You reply to their call or not?
I will ask them this question privately.

Do You understand
my series of pain,
my burning due to heat,
and my frosts?
If You do not understand,
then, with the heartfelt composition of my songs,
I shall offer those feelings before You.

O bliss personified,
everything came in a non-stationary moment.

O one skilled in beauty and creator of all,
You created this illusive world.

You have no bondage of place and time.
You create human beings smilingly.

There was no sky, air and light,
no existence of such factors as solid, liquid etc.
(the five fundamental factors).
You were alone in the seven worlds,
merged in non-existence.

You - the harbinger of the new,
what have You brought this morning and for whom?

Obstacles and hurdles will encircle me.

Let the storms and cyclones come as they may.
I'll fight all obstacles and march ahead.
On this very morning at the beginning of my journey,
I extend my salutation (pranam) to all.

Those melodies of the flute pull and call me,
making my mind disregard whatsoever bondage.

Through the gaps of smiles,
who is that who calls me?
Calling me to renounce and sacrifice my everything.

That call comes through the pollen of flowers,
when the flowers bloom layer by layer.

How can I just remain seated without responding to it?
My feet cannot help but rush towards it.

O Lord,
You remain mixed with the sky and air,
and float in the firmament of my heart.

My mental peacock dances,
spreading its tail as it comes in contact with His vibrations.

O dear,
this spring season,
the colour that You poured into my mental garden
is very touching.

The sleeping bud blossomed up
and enraptures with colours,
oblivious of its surroundings,
its petals dancing with deep love for You.

The fog is no longer and colours appear.
The inertness of cold vanished away far.
The birds started chirping on colourful branches,
their call awakening the love for You.

Sitting on my balcony,
I wonder day and night,
who is He who thinks about me in His leisure time?

I think about Him in dream, slumber,
sleep or in my awakened state.

O Lord,
who is that You for whom there is no rest?
You remain busy twenty-four hours long.

I constantly think only about You.
You, on the other hand, think about the whole world.
I am a meagre but You are very great.

You are the protector of the destitute
and the very life of the universe.
By Your mercy,
all, unitedly and with one mind, seek You.

The green fairy came into the world of songs and told,
"He will return again."

To this, everyone replied,
"Do not wander away.
We all shall keep You surrounded.

With Your song You brought green shade,
weaving colourful plays in our minds.

We shall not let You go
and will continue listening to Your songs and messages
with all our heart.

Into the kingdom of songs,
the demon has come and wants to crush us all.

You destroy many and create many.
We look at You with hope."

O dear,
I love You
but know that You do not love me.

Why I love Him,
I do not know at all,
but I am unable to stop loving Him.

The flower does not know why the bee loves it.
The bee does not know that the fragrance attracts it.

They are not aware of the intense ideation of the restless heart
and the sincere longing beyond logic and reasoning.

I stop thinking beyond my capacity of understanding.
Even though I do not recognise You,

I constantly search You.
Do not play Your delusive game with my mind anymore.

O Lord,
I was just sitting by myself
when You placed the victory mark on my forehead.

O dear friend,
I had no merit,
my sole quality was that I loved You.

In this trifarious world,
I was very small.

Other than You I had no shelter.
The wheels of my cart moved by Your mercy.

From morning till (next day) dawn,
each moment,
I knew only You.

Each atom and molecule of mine
was associated with You.

On a golden morning,
on a sandy beach by the sea,
we suddenly met by surprise.

The blue water was overwhelmed with joy
as it closely danced around You in adoration.

I do not know the day and time.
It is not on the screen of my memory.
The day and date floated away on the stream of bliss.

You told,
"Do not think anymore.
Leave all worldly attachments behind.
I am always by your side,
ever looking after you."

The flower laden branch of the anamika creeper oscillated
as it swayed with emotion.

What did the one encompassing all emotions do as He came along?
He snatched away the love of the flower.

The lazy, beautiful and affectionate buds shook, and smiled.
The silvery dewdrops swung.

Whatever I had imagined appeared good.
I do not recall with certainty the day and time.
My mind was restlessly filled with innumerable rhythms.

The one of unknown name continued dancing,
as the stream of feelings overflowed.

O my dear,
I have kept my garland decorated
to express my love to You.

I may be momentary,
but my love represents the essence of essences
and it is eternal.

All the tunes,
all that has been rehearsed,
all the ideations and languages that have existed,
the essence of it all,
I included in my garland,
to Your resonating tinkling.

I am but a mere particle of Your mercy,
passing through the golden fountain.

O Lord beyond colours,
by the shower of Your grace,
I have become purified.
Now, please uplift me.

--------------------------------

I have kept my garland arranged,
O Lord, awaiting You.
Our tryst may be only for a moment,
but remember
my nectar-love is eternal.

Of my melodies, of my yearnings,
I have chosen the sweetest.
Of my thoughts, of my words,
I have taken the tender-most.

I collected all these essences
inspired by Your rhythmic resonance
and wove them lovingly into a necklace.

I am just a tiny mote of Your infinite compassion
O colourless one, I am purified,
bathed in the fountain of golden elixir.
Now, by Your grace, lift me up to You.

note: the fountain of golden elixir is an allegory for
the Hiranmaya kosa, the subtlest layer of mind,

and the singer is asking to be raised beyond that,
into Satyaloka, the sphere beyond existence.

Please also accept my love.

In the sky,
blueness lingers on
and in my heart,
reddishness remains.

Into that distant blueness this red hue merges.

There is sincerity of ideation.
In my melody lies sweetness.

Kindly colour this sweetness and sincerity of mine with Your colour.

The cloud came from an unknown world and told,
"Your friend will come to your home.
Keep your mind covered with a colourful scarf
and decorate a colourful bouquet for Him.

Your night is going to end
and the dawn will bring a new and colourful environment.
Wipe off your tears and put on a new adornment.

The effulgence of the new will glow in your home.

O beautiful eyed one,
forget the agony of the past,
and send your call anew with new imagination.
Forget your bad dream
and satisfy the new with a smiling face".

------------------------------

From an unknown land
the clouds have brought the message,
that your friend would call on you.

Wrap a colourful scarf around your mind,
and prepare a welcome for Him.

Your night is over,
perhaps dawn will bring a radiant light.
Wipe your eyes, dress in a new garment.
The effulgence of the new will illumine your house.

Forget the pains of old, O lovely-eyed one.
Welcome the new with grand imagination.
Forget your nightmares
and greet Him with a smiling face.

Your resonant tinkling sound
rises in the mirror of my mind time and again.

From the subtlety of Your mind
emerges the blueness of the sky,
filling everyone's life to the brim.

This sound of Yours is not latent nor sleepy.
It calls and rushes out aloud.

Your effulgence is the sincere longing of all.
Counting to attain You goes on restlessly.

Unifying all,
filling love into everyone,
though the tinkling of each string of Your viina,
You intoxicate in dance.

You enquired about my welfare.

Do you understand the agony in the mind of the tree
that has fallen down due to storms?

My lamp has been extinguished,
though ghee and wick are present.
The niipa leaves have dropped
and only the softness of the rain remains.

You survived the storms, leaving behind sweetness,
and understood my pain.

You loved me,
came to see me,
and smilingly provided shelter during rains of distress.
Consoling me that You are with me during my sorrow,

This morning,
with the string of flowers,
I threaded a swing.

The crimson light lovingly told me not to do that work.

Whatever the mind wants, it obtains.
Have You ever noticed that?

Whatever the mind does not want, it does not get either.
Does it really happen like that?

Do not oscillate on the swing of hope,
my expectations would break.

My hope is like a mirage in the desert,
it is the black spot on a burnt forehead.

To attain Him move,
move forward on a simple and straight path,
do not weave the web of imaginations.

I am unable to find the beginning of the path,
and I do not know the end either.

Thinking of You,
I do not fathom an end,
and neither am I able to comprehend any limits.

O embodiment of consciousness,
Parama Purusa,
never ever can anyone describe You.

Attempts at searching arise,
and then return due to shyness,
unable to find idea and language of the unknown.

Your lane lies carpeted with bakula flowers,
and has been wetted with dewdrops.
You have compassionately left behind,
a memory soothing to the eyes.

Spring came,
smiled in the mind
and danced in the mental garden.

The stars sing in the blue sky
and the swan glides with wings outstretched.

The sun's rays, once covered in fog, emerge.
The whole world smiles with gestures.
Minds and hearts started dancing.

Who is the one that this grand festivity surrounds?
By provisioning the essence of life,
all existed and are present even now.
To the lost heart, He made Himself known.

Smiling in the moonlight,
who is that of unknown name who came?

By Your eternal spiritual practice,
You fill the whole world with bliss.

Whatever agony was present
in the core of the minds of human beings,
that poison,
that malice,
You collected amidst light,
and removed it all by a wee bit of Your grace.

Human beings are not miserable,
neither are they poor or deprived.
By the flow of Your mercy,
good days will come again.

Come closer and stand still,
fulfilling our sincere longing and aspiration.

No matter whether human beings love You or not,
You love them all.

No matter whether anyone responds or not,
You continue calling all.

Amidst the darkness of selfishness,
human beings have forgotten You.
When in distress,
they call and ask You for protection.

You know Your duty and never discriminate.
The blade of grass that floats in the stream,
the fragrance that floats in the air,
the love that appears in the eyes,
You see all with equal feelings.

Raising a tinkling in the ocean of effulgence,
You kindled the lamp of vivacity.

You expressed the idea
that had been sleeping in unspoken language.

When there were buds but no flowers,
when there was desideratum but no effort,
when there was wish but no sincerity,
then You sounded the trumpet of love.

What originates in darkness,
cannot but move in the dark.
In this dark forest,
You remain hidden,
and all on Your own.

On that auspicious moment,
alone in Your floral garden,
I saw You,
and looked at Your sweetness-smeared eyes.

The petals of flowers were swinging,
and the pollen of mind possessed beauty.

At Your call, both my inside and outside mingled,
O dear.

I loved You and worshipped You
offering my whole existence.

That day,
You became mine,
heart to heart,
song to song.

I thought You had forgotten me,
but observed that You do not forget anything.

Whatever I wanted,
I came to know it all.
What You gave is beyond comparison.

You stayed in leaves as sweetness
and within the body of flowers,
as fragrant pollen.
In the pot of love,
You remained as nectar and enchanting will.

You gave even that which was unsought.
You lifted me up filling my mind with beauty and flow.
You unified my inside and outside,

performing Your ragatmika sadhana (the sadhana of highest devotion).

Without enquiring about the name,
someone informed me
that You would be coming to my home.

On hearing this,
I understood that, after such a long time,
You had remembered me.

Years after years had passed.
Many a winter evening passed by.

The shefalii flowers, wet with dewdrops,
continued crying on many an unknown lane.

An era seemed to float away as eras.
I continued holding Your image with love in my mental mirror,
ignoring all storms.

In the stream of Your melody,
this morning,
I threaded a floral garland for You.

Whether or not You like to put it on,
know that I have loved You.

From an unknown origin,
melodies float into my mind.
With the charm of rhythmic beats,
I rehearse them song by song.

These melodies float on unseen,
tinkling in the seven worlds.
Those unknown songs of my core,
I now suddenly hold.

Who are You coming to my home
at this untimely hour?

Without declaring it or announcement,
You came and went away as flow of love.

I know that You know the illusive force, maya.
I also accept that You play the divine game of liila.

Does this knowledge and acceptance of mine,
resound in Your ankle bell?

You know how to make others cry and smile,
and how to pull them close with love.
You create Yourself as a collection of contrasts.

You remain hidden deep within everyone's mind.
Please tell me how You manage to stay there secretly.

In the sound of flint wood,
in the shiver of love,
how do You keep dancing on so restlessly?

You dance from far to farther,
and again return.
Where do You go?

The resonance of waves
in the water of Your desert mirage
is fearful.

O Lord,
remove this boundary
and bring Yourself close and in front of me.

O consciousness held balanced within the intellect,
become vibrant.

At the end of the dense night,
the crimson morning came smiling.

The prolonged penance,
by the removal of the intense darkness,
turned colourful with hue.

There is neither fear nor danger.
It is not the aim of creation
to bring about distinctions between man and man.

Today, it is our duty to march ahead with decorations of light.
The young sun won the mind.

Do no more sleep my brother,
open your eyes and look!
Tear off the web of the attachments to the old.

Taking all along,
distributing the honey of affection,
the unknown one appeared today.

O dearest,
tell me,
by which unknown effulgence,
have You brought about illumination?

I could not believe my eyes,
could not visualise it even after seeing,
that You had come to my home.

You brought with Yourself the essence of all nectar of the three worlds
and filled all emptiness with a strong upsurge of emotions.

With the unlimited joy of an unseen touch,
You stretched Yourself full of love.

O effulgent entity,
the wheels of Your cart guide me,
and thus, I am never alone.

You are coated with the effulgence of the steady light
of the flames of millions of golden lamps,

that You are the foundation of.

When I saw You,
I had not yet been introduced to You.

O embodiment of songs,
looking at Your face,
I called You within my mind.
Your smile and affection fulfilled all the desires of my life.

O embodiment of consciousness,
I attained You on the shore of melodies
by the intense feelings of my ideation.

Within You I found the garland of love for humanity.
Through the gaps of Your call

resounds the tinkling of liberation.

My mental viina remains absorbed in You.
With Your love and colour,
it sings of Your song without inhibition.
O embodiment of consciousness.

----------------------------------------

When I saw You, I didn't know Your real identity.
I looked at You and realised
that You are the embodiment of music.

Your smile, Your looks,
fulfilled all the longings of my heart.
In the ocean of melodies,
in the world of ideation,
I attained You.

O Lord of my mind!

In You, I found the necklace of love for humanity.
Due to Your calls there is a sweet rhythm
of emancipated souls.

The lyre of my mind sings Your glories
without reservation.
Goaded by Your love and attraction,
it sings only about You.

I wanted to forget You,
but I am unable to do so.

Smiling softly,
floating in my mind,
You provide illumination.

You stay in my mind
in the all actions of my mental world.

Even trying to keep You distant,
my mind does not succeed in leaving You.

Thus, on a winter evening,
You came,
decorated with jasmine flowers,
and told me,
"I am yours, do not forget me."

Like a vibrant wave in the water,

With the restless rhythm of the stream,
the earth became attracted to You.
You lifted it up onto Your lap.

The melody that I had rehearsed was not sung amidst the congregation.
The vow that was concluded did not become known to the world.

I had been busy with hundreds of works
but You conveyed the essence of each message to me.

By Your touch, the earth attained life.
In Your pleasure, all lost themselves.
With Your unlimited gifts and songs,
full of affection,
You filled my life with illumination.

The fire that You kindled in my mind,
is hard to extinguish.

Even after obtaining the coolness of sandal,
its heat cannot be undone.

My flower does not display beauty anymore.
My mental bee does not like the taste of honey anymore.
And during moonlit nights,

I cannot weave colourful and heavenly dreams anymore.

This illusive lighting stick that You possess,
by it, heaven and the earth dance.
This illusive mirror that You created,
in it, the three spheres of the world reflect.

All obstructions faded away
and heavenly sweetness smiled in Your reflection.

merged into hearts and minds.

The trees that lay in slumber due to inertia,
awoke with new glory.

The buds that had been sleeping for ages
bloomed anew with song after song.

and went away without even telling me Your name.

Tell me,
what is this Your introduction of Yours?
Let me know,
where did You come from and why did You come?

Over the firm and motionless mountains,
ice spreads layer by layer.
You made it melt by awakening it
with the sacred charm of Your mantra.

The mind that had been sleeping,
over it, You applied colour with Your song
and made it dance to Your tune with melody and rhythm.

Announcing the call of the infinite,
You make me lose myself in the blue of the sky.

You dance through creation, sustenance and dissolution.
I sing of Your essence of nectar.

I am the pollen dust of a small flower.
You are the king of cowherd men, playing Your flute.

I was in an unconscious stage forgetting You.
You made me tread Your path anew.

during cold and intense icefall,

O dear,
being unable to see Your image with my eyes,
please come into my mind.

Being unable to get Your touch in the world,
please appear in the delight of my heart.

My coming and going,
my crying and smiling,
my love,
all vibrates within You.

Nothing remains unknown to You.
Ignoring my lapses,
please keep smiling.

O great ocean,
like a drop of Your mercy,
my days are passing by.

Even should I move away from You,
and forget You,
please keep loving this tiny droplet of Yours.

O magnolia flower (kanak campa),
in whose mental garden did you bloom
and in whose mind were you suppressed?

You bloomed into bunches on the big straight tree.
At whose feet,
gathering blessings,
do you pour out fragrance day and night?

Your resemble charming and pure gold,
and your fragrance is like that of the heavenly parijata flower.

Which expert of beauty sent you?
And who loved you?

I continue doing work for You with tears in my eyes.

The flow of my love moves in hundreds of streams,

My days are for You.
The nights I keep awake for You.

Day and night I seek Your grace.
And still, why do You remain away?

By giving me love,
You snatched away my mind
and turned me into a beggar.

With sweet feet, a sweet voice and a smiling face,
You came close to me.

There is neither beginning nor end
to Your illusive divine game.

By reasoning and thought,
I do not get to any shore.

Sometimes You make me cry.
Sometimes You make me smile.
And sometimes You make me float into the blue sky.

O eternal charioteer,
the wheels of Your cart,
grant fearlessness,
and say that I am never alone.

You are with me during my pleasure and pain.
The whole world moves as per Your direction.

I had done everything keeping only myself in view.

You encompass everything.
Only today did I come to realise this.
Pardon my lapse due to the ignorance.

Today I want to adore You.
I want to keep You within my eyes.
To satisfy and please You,

At the far end of my life,
collecting shells,
my life passes by.

How many people came and went without ever looking at me?
How many colourful suns appeared and set?

How many smiling moons got lost in the darkness?
How many stars smiled and vanished?

I keep looking at them in solitude.

You told that You would come this time
and take me across the ocean.

I keep counting days and time,
again and again,
looking at Your path even at this untimely hour.

Why did You come on dark nights,

You told me
that You would come on an appropriate occasion,
and become my guest in my home.

You came untimely
and neither a proper reception nor my services
could I offer.

The golden lamp had been kept ready with ghee and wick.
The fragrant incense lay in its pot.

Sandal was pasted and kept in its cup,

are also a particle of Your mercy,
O dearest.

Whatever I consider my own self,

How many suns set

Who is that unknown traveler who came
without consideration of date,
spreading love and fragrance
onto the path with rhythms and songs?

My eyes were curious for His vision
and distressed hearts were seeking His touch.

The long night passed
though my mental floral garland dried up.

I thought You had forgotten me,
and would no longer consider this small "I"
as You are ever busy
in affairs concerning the whole world.

But I realised that You had remembered me.

The sun pulls the planets and the moon.
In order for them not to drift away in this vast space,
You ever keep watch over them.

The ocean calls the rivers.
The earth pulls the strings of rain.
The peacock also,
spreading its tail,
calls the distant clouds.

I look up hundreds of times.

O beloved of all,
with what expectation do You keep on singing?
Over it, I ponder.

That entity I want close

That traveler never wants anything.
Neither is He for public show.
He loves, and destroys darkness.

You put me within the bondage of the world
and told me to stay here.

You said that You were with me
and that I should not desire anything.

With the rising light of the day,
I should get up to the flow of work.
The night came and with the moon,
I would sing songs without fail.

Now, I am in this world forgetting You.
Is this Your wish?
All my actions and songs,
are coated with the pollen of Your love.

Today I remembered that at the sandy beach,
while collecting shells,
I was suddenly introduced to You,
O my embodiment of consciousness.

You were nearby in the impulse of ideation
and I became absorbed in You.
O dear,
I am unable to work out how many ages ago I saw You.

O embodiment of consciousness,
since then,
You have remained,
surrounding me throughout.

I have forgotten the day, time and moment.
That sandy beach I am now unable to see.

But by Your touch,
I have kept it decorated on the screen of my memory.
O embodiment of song.

The cloud came and whispered into my ears
not to worry even if storms should come.

"Don't you know
that clouds and storms originate from the same place?

The ocean engrossed in deep depths
is also found in high waves.
Both are within one and one is within both.
Do not deviate from this reality.

In one hand lies the frightening sword,
in the other, the fountain of nectar.

At His feet is liberation
and in His hands, the boon of fearlessness and blessing.
Do not forget this assurance of His."

Removing the desert mirage,
and riding the chariot of light,
Who has come?

Wiping off all darkness,
by His soft touch,
who has awoken me?

I could not imagine that You had kept me in Your mind
and that my place had been within You.

Surrounded by darkness,
I was in deep sleep.
Yet, You looked at me with smiling eyes.

My life was desert-like.
Sandy storms were raging all around me.
O soft, green and incomparable one,
You brought with You the rumbling of awakening.

I accept that You are ever with me,
but why do You test me at each step?

I am very meagre,
You are my ever companion.

why do You deliberately decorate me,

You are most revered and great,

O most beloved.

Why did not You keep the words given?

I had kept my home decorated to Your satisfaction,
but You did not come,
were You busy?

All my belongings are for You.
Fruits and flowers have been kept arranged layer by layer.

A ghee lamp has been lit on its base.
Tell me, did You forget the path?

All my name and form is within a base,
within the principle of cause and effect.

You are beyond any cause and beyond this world.
Why do not You consider that I am bound by Your law?

Who are You who came today into the bamboo grove,
in the midst of spring?

You brought the festivity of decorations with You,
fresh and with vivacity.

The bakul flowers discharge the sweetness of Your love.
The mango buds speak about You.

The flowers of hingul and shimul,
seeing all this beauty,
dance open-mindedly.

The red kinshuk flowers say that they ignite fire,
which is not hot but filled with joy.
With a light fragrance,
the branch of parul flowers smiles from the distance.

O great tree,
I forgot You
but did not forget Your small flower.

Looking at You in my mental lake,
I find the softness of the flow of Your stream.

You are like the small point of a star,
and yet, this seven-layered universe is created by You.

Those who consider You small
see only the base of Your lamp,
and through it, they obtain light.

By a small frictional touch,
a forest fire is created.
By a small droplet of water,
an oceanic upsurge is caused.

After having given pain to this small unit mind,
other than love, there is really no cure.

You are a fairy in the distant sky.

Wearing wings as colourful as a coloured scarf,
You came today gratifying my mind.

Who is in what sort of pain?
What is the hidden agony?
Why are people lamenting and crying?
Where is the soothing balm?
Where is the cure?
Within Your loving core, You know it all.

You cry with sorrow,
smile at honour,
and do not move along properly recognised paths.

I want You in floral gardens,
but find You in the agony of minds.
I want You in worships and rituals,
but attain You only when everything is lost.

Even after seeing You,
I am unable to recognise You.

I look at You beyond what is known and heard,
and find that I really do not know anything.

I remain awake for You.
Apply Your dark mark of beauty onto my eyes.

Through and in spite of this intensely illusive maya,
I see Your game.

The toy is there,
and so are You.
I have likewise been brought to this earth by You
(and for You to play with).

You keep the absolute truth covered.
Why You do this, I cannot understand.

The path that You have shown,
to it, there is no comparison.
It has no beginning,
and finding an end is also difficult.
This sadhana of Yours is infinite.

I bloomed on the wild path,
remaining untouched.
You lifted me up with Your own hands.

You told,
"Stay within me,
do not consider yourself a meagre.
You are not distressed or poor.
Who says you are miserable?
You are within me, absorbed in infinity.
Those who consider you useless do not know."

Keep me ever absorbed in samadhi.

Thorns may be present.
Let them be.
They do not hurt the nightingale.

The small flea rushes forth when light comes.
Even after burning its wings,
it does not abandon its attraction to the flame.

Hence do not kindle Your lamp.
I shall oscillate on the swing in darkness.
Obtaining the dust of Your feet,
I do not require a grass blanket.

Silently at the grave,
I shall discard
my loosely hanging, unkempt hair.

Does the agony of my heart that I speak out to You,

Morning and evening,
I pour out the fragrance of mind for You.

If You are unable to listen to and hear the agony of my heart,
I shall flow into that fragrance,

all the pain of my love.

yet, why does that intoxication not leave me?
By that sweet intoxication,

At the shore of maya in the rising sun,
flowers smile.
The intoxicating maya of the moon,
appears in the tides.
This image I cannot forget.

By the intoxication of the moon, the earth revolves.
With the intoxication of Your image, my mind is filled.

My restless heart overflows with intoxication.
This, O Lord, is Your sadhana.

After the closing the finalisation of accounts of desire and fulfilment,

I had thought that by applying my intellect,
I would obtain everything to my heart's content.

On observation however, I found these to be superfluous.
Hence, the desire to obtain only the wee bit of Your grace.

Within a particle,

I enquired within my mind
but did not get any reply.

I cry and smile for You only.
Yet, You do not look at me.
You do not speak through songs.
You do not touch me heart to heart.
And still, I keep blooming flowers for You.

I think about You on winter evenings.
I draw Your image secretly during spring nights.
I listen to Your flute in the core of my heart.

you are great.

The history of the world is located within you.
You are the messenger of the new era,
spreading your wings in the air.

Who says you have no life?
Who says there is no melody in you?
There is life filled in the layers of atoms and molecules too,
and each particle is filled with songs.

Who says you do not provide beauty?
Who says you do not kindle incense?
With ochre colour you decorate the green grass
and with smiling fragrance you make people unmindful.

People say that You are not visible.
How is it then that You came here?

People tell that You do not care about logic and reasoning,
that there is no explaining of how You manage Your affairs
and that Your play is beyond logic.

How is it then that You graced all
by drenching everyone in Your divine nectar?

I have been wanting You,
and requesting You to make me Yours.
For once, listen and come close,
showering upon me Your infinite grace.

I am such a meagre, You are so great.

Coming from the end of the world of shadows,
with what sort of illusion did You intoxicate me?
You filled melody in each life and song.

In my world of shadows
I had been entertaining only selfish thoughts,
loving only myself.

You coloured the rainbow,
of the worlds of illusion and heaven.

I do not want anything from You,
simply stay within my mind.

Above all desires and attainments,
Your rare ideation lies located.

In the divine sphere,
You resided like a smiling lamp of illumination.
With what hope then did You descend from it?

With each blink,
delighting the heart,
You merged limitation with endlessness.

There is none other like You,
of so much generosity and love.

On Your neck, hangs the garland of sweetness.
On Your forehead, greatness dazzles.

You are everyone's own.
You are everyone's dear.
You are the pilgrim to be followed by all.

You reside ever adorable in each mind,
in the firmament of minds
and in the great sky.

Due to Your love,
the shady lane started resonating
with Your rhythmic song
and unlimited bliss.

You never want anything.
You only give.

The moon,
without consideration of good or bad qualities,
pours light on all.

The honey of my core overflows,
indicating the treatment of my wound.

No one knows the end of this lane.
And where its beginning lies, is also unimaginable.

Who is its creator?
Who is that, so skilled in beauty?
And what for has this game been created?
No one knows.

You are ever present in the smile of flowers,
but came today into my mental sphere.

I love You.
This fact You know.
Why then had You remained away?

I do not call anyone else.
None has a place in my mind any more.
I never even think of anything else.
Why then had You forgotten me?

It must be Your insurmountable and eternal game,
the play of duck and drakes with my mind.

Sometimes You make me laugh.
Sometimes You make me dance.
Sometimes You make me cry
and flood my eyes with tears.

Who is that unknown traveler,
who came into my garden
during this pre-winter period?

I am giving You the name
"Anamika, the one without a name".

Our becoming acquainted with one another has stirred me.

I have been seeing You ages after ages,
but could never recognise You,
as I was in deep slumber.

From beyond the ocean of darkness,
marking ardor and fervidity,
You appeared to me.

In this pre-winter time,
there is no floral decoration.
My garden is without any beauty today.

The candramallika flower,
all alone,
and wet from snow,
calls with the water of love.

O boat of this dark ocean,
You sit and sail on Your own.

You smilingly lift up
those who are filled with inertia
and surrounded by darkness.

You do not accept whatsoever discrimination.
There is no pride in You.

You kindle light,
remove the darkness,
and destroy all dirt.

It is very difficult to recognise You.
You are not realised even if found close.

When looking inward,
He hides and smiles in the corner of the mind.

sympathy for me resonates.

I wish to move according to Your words.
I want to speak out without doubt.
Hundreds of obstructions confront me,
but eventually all dilemmas are overcome.

I know that I am a mere particle of Yours.
You are great, ever new.
To attain You,
I constantly weave new webs of hope.

I wanted You to come
in the beauty of the crimson dawn
but instead,
You arrived on a black new moon night,
and removed all darkness, O beloved.

You did not show Yourself on happy days
but came during a night of misery -
all alone, without informing me, unseen -
traversing a path studded with thorns.

With love, I had made decorations
and practiced hundreds of melodies for You.
All my presentations were of no use,
because at those times, You did not come.

But then, from beyond all reason and logic,
You graciously appeared on the scene -
on that dark and gloomy night.

O charioteer of light!
Do not just watch, speak too!

Towards whom, do You continue rushing?
On whose wounds, do You apply ointment?
Piercing through gaps of darkness,
Your chariot rushes on without pause.

The seven horses, clad in seven colours;
with their horseshoes,
trample underfoot all stones.
All have the same destination.
There cannot be any other charioteer.

You recognise the path.
You know the chariot.
Hence, everyone depends upon You.

With the warmth of Your divine love,
You broke that static mood.
By Your mercy, I am now awake
and, in the hope of attaining Your grace, I live.

O eternal friend,
in this universe, You are incomparable.
You remain beyond space and time,

I was absent-minded,
why, I do not know.

Which stealer of mind had snatched away my mind?

On a winter night,
silently and in isolation,
secretly,
He came to make me know everything.

I never wanted to give my mind.
Intense infatuation surrounded me.
A rope of illusion tied me.
Yet, I knew all this was but His delusive play.

He did not want anything,
yet, He took away my I feeling,
my essence of life.

Then, that newly-bloomed physical body,
surrounded by subtlety of consciousness,
became lost in infinity.

and the quivering in the stream.
Ideating on You and thinking of You
is my life's only endeavour.

embodiment of effulgence,
emerging from beyond the dark ocean?

Breaking down the rampart of obstacles,
You illuminate the world.

In the mirror of illusion,
You witness the mental states
of those who existed in the past
and of those who are present now.
There exists no closer entity than You.

In the rhythm of ideation,
with rise and fall,
You make all dance,
O embodiment of rhythm!

All-knowing entity from time immemorial,
You convey the message of endlessness.
Outside You exists no other entity.

All come from You,
and finally will again merge in You.
You are the collection of everything,
O embodiment of consciousness!

Within the small,
in decorations of atoms and molecules,
the great exists.

Nothing is there that can restrict attaining You.

In beauty, in attributes and in all actions,
in the silvery adornment of nebulas,
that lies surrounded by infinity,
at the terminal climax of dhyana and dharana,
You appear to us with countless rhythms.

Whatsoever mental agonies appear,
they come and go hundreds of times.

This pitch black ocean of darkness
will leave with its head low in defeat.
It is the divine effulgence that You love.

I will not accept defeat at any cost.
I will I remain holding on
to Your lotus feet only.

Whatever people may say,
whatever may happen,
I shall remain pure and smiling.
You are my beginning and my end.

In an intense dream,
surrounding You,
I created a legendary fairy tale.

At that time, the formless one
began forming,
in oscillating mental waves,
the blue of the sky.

I would speak out secret events
in the smiling light of my mind.

My tears,
melting into the dark decoration of my eyes,
continued creating songs.
With impulse they were poured
into distant heavenly light.

You behaved incomprehensibly,
Your activities and thoughts
remained beyond my understanding.

While performing my ritualistic worship,
You suddenly appeared to me with a smiling face.

The enchanting tune of Your flute,

An upward pull

In an emotional upsurge
the tides of my heart expanded.

You smiled and looked,
and controlled with an arrow of flowers.
That floral arrow pierced

You are present in love,
You dance in songs.
By flooding the earth,
You win the hearts of all.

even if I have to call You by an unknown name,

even if delusive mysteries deceive me,
I shall remove all obstructions,

You have scattered Yourself throughout the world.

You never want anything.
You keep giving everything.
There is none as open-handed and generous as You are.

As father, mother,
brother and protector,
amidst all,
You remain in everyone's life,
maintaining Your identity secret.

You do not want name and fame
but rather grant name and fame to others.

By qualifying others,
You keep Yourself hidden.
You are beyond this world
but I remain bound
within its three spheres.

Under Your shelter only,
is bliss is to be found.

Do You belong to only those who love You?
If that were so,
why do sinners look upon You also?

The air provides life to all without discrimination.
The sky chants a never-ending song into all ears.

The sun's sweet illumination does not take into account defects,
it belongs to all.

Amidst all great ones,
You are the greatest.
Amidst all living and non-living entities,
You are life's quintessence.

You are maintainer
and guardian of orphans,
You protect the world,
You are the Lord of all.

Why do not You smile in beautiful decoration,

though You belong to all?

O essence of essences,
amidst atoms,
You enact Your divine play.

And I too say: "I love You."

O dearest one,
Churning the heavenly garden,
I found You.

O sweetest one,
I found You under the moonlight,
in the bamboo grove,
absorbed in heavenly realms.

You are the black decoration mark on my eyes.
You came to destroy my worldly attachments.

Ideating on You,
a new morning arises
and all dirt is removed.

Forgetting You,
no proper desire is to be cultivated,
nor is intellect or intuition to be understood.

By Your grace,
I took sheltered in You.
O purest effulgence!

I like to think of You.
Why is that? Tell me.

What sort of hope is this,
what audacity of Yours,
that lets me wander to and fro
between desire and non-achievement?

Why do You not come close?
Why do You stay afar?

Why do You call me
with Your indistinct presence
and an unfamiliar gesture?

You keep me floating in the sky
like pollen of flowers.
What a delusion of Yours is this?
O dear one.

The stream floats towards the ocean.
The meteorite rushes towards the earth's atmosphere.
Likewise do I long to merge in You,
in the momentum of my dhyana.
Do not You know this?

In the morning I collect bakul flowers for You.
With these flowers have I decorated my chignon.
I continue dancing around You.
Into my mind no one else ever enters.

Of the ocean, I am the tide,
for, You are my moon.

Remaining distant,
You observe and smile.
In the flow of Your ideation,
I smilingly cry.

At the bank of the blue lake
lay a garden of campa flowers.
In the lake,
a white water lily bloomed.

It was at that time
that I sat in the garden.

The swans flew from country to country.
Leaving their nests,
they returned to where they had left from,
(in counter-revolutionary fashion.)

In the deep recesses of the human mind
such a nest resides, calling secretly.

Return back with a peaceful mind.
Evening has already settled.

Carrying the load,

Will this monotony never end?

Every day the sun rises and again sets.
There is no variety in experience.
Eating and sleeping are but routine.
Neither interval nor pause is to be found.

O ever new one,
bring novelty
and provide momentum to my life.

Grant me Your song
on the path of movement,
and fulfil my desire.

I continue counting days and time,

With tears, have I cleansed the path
You would arrive on.

Ages after ages pass by,
containing innumerable painful memories.
Many an expectation has fallen prematurely,
as mere buds only.

But I am determined to attain my cherished goal.

Time merges into a new period
while the external world moves within
and, in the flow of Your divine play,
I silently lose myself.

nor can humanity be awakened.

Please come in everyone's unbroken meditative flow (dhyana).
Come also into the crudest layers of everyone's mind.

O morning sun,
the divine game of Your beauty
makes the ocean overflow restlessly.

The awakening of a mere particle in it
makes millions of nebulae sing in the sky.

O one so skilled in creating forms,
what is this creation of Yours?
With the nectar-filled ocean of love,
You have inundated the world.

Although You are formless,
You have become form,
and in the form of thoughts,
You dance on.

In playing that divine game,
You ave no equal.
You make the world
forever cry and smile.

Even after contemplating You in deep thought,
I fail to make an estimation of You.

I merely came to feel Your touch
and for a wee bit of Your love.

You dance on without pause,

Your poured sweetness into my life.
You won my mind.
You did not consider time.

You came with a smiling face,
and looked at me eye to eye.
You touched my heart with Yours,
bestowing everything.

Whatever auspiciousness exists is all You.
Inauspiciousness can have no quarter in You.
Even in greatest fear,
non-benevolence won't stand before You.

With what expectation
did You kindle fire
in the deep recess of my mind?
Making it bloom
like a garden in spring.

You never desire anything.
You never leave any wont unfulfilled.
Produce a little gesture,
and tell me what for it all happened.

You smilingly came into the garden of palash trees.
You looked on from below the shalmalii tree,
Your eyes gazing towards the mango buds.
You filled the air with emotion.

O unknown traveler,
You do not remain unrecognised.
In the silent recess of my mind,
You ever come and go.

In search of You
I started flying in the sky,
with wings outstretched.
It is not simply the sky
that I want close.

After a long time,
I found You in my home.

Please stay,
and illuminate my mind.
I shall not let You go.

I have forgotten during how many eras of penance
the darkness of my mind had to be wiped away.
This sadhana of dark nights
has brought the crimson dawn to my doorstep.

Let this morning remain forever,
and keep me absorbed in bliss day by day.
By Your touch,
let my mind linger on in heavenly bliss.

O dear Lord, revered by all,
come into the depth of my mind.
Come with sweet feet.

Expecting Your arrival,
I have remained awake.
I have sat down in silent penance.

Break this silence
and bring new expressions.
Pour softness into my dry heart.

My history, the story of my agonies,
is recorded in You mental mirror.

All my defects and qualities
are known to You.
By pardoning my mistakes
pull me close.

Grant me ragatmika devotion of total surrender,
and take me across that limitless ocean.

are really Yours.
This fact, I keep singing in perfect tune.

I came floating,
and attained You in the firmament of my mind.
O dear Lord.

At the root of my coming and going,
of my smiling and crying,

I know that without You

I merely produce a tinkling
on the strings of Your viina.

Experiencing Your campa flower-like touch,
I salute You.

O Lord,
The garland which I prepared for You
has gradually been drying out.
You did not come to put it on.
My days passed by in vain.

I do not find the effulgent sun pleasant anymore
and the air no longer seems refreshing.
The darkness of my mind is deepening further.
Days and nights meaninglessly flow by.

There is no harm
in not being able to attain You.
I don't mind You not wishing to look at me.

But should You consider me a meagre,
then dissolve my all
into a particle of Your grace.

With what kind of fragrant vibration
did You come into my mind?

With silent footsteps,
You secretly opened up
colourful petals of various hues.

In the past, I knew or understood,
but never longed to attain You closely.

You came to me on Your own
and, providing fulfilment to my mind,
pulled me unto You.

I know that You love me.
You have brought me close to You.

Although You originate in time immemorial,
I am limited.
And yet, You accepted me.

I do not know
how many ages came and went
while I remained sitting and waiting for You.

I forget days, dates and time,
I forget who came and when,
but I do not forget You.

Due to the fall of ochre dust in summer,
many bamboo groves languish away.
The impact of floods of heavy rain
has uprooted and floated away innumerable homes.
I am unable to keep count of it.

In the soft winter moonlight,
with the fragrance of shefali flowers,
nectar flows.
The colours of love in my life seem to fade,
and yet, I cannot think of anything but You.

on the path of movement,

provide enthusiasm to me.

During the intervals of work,
if worries come along,
remove them.

If due to greed for the honey of flowers,
insects come into my mental garden,
and intense rains paint the blue of my sky,
come with a soft smile
and awaken my consciousness.

O granter of liberation,
I am at Your shelter.

Expecting Your grace,
I am counting days.
Kindly kindle the lamp of hope.

I am a nightingale of the floral garden.

I do not talk to anyone,
I sing my song and raise my melody.

Days of sweetness come and go,
leaving behind hues in my mind.

In this golden brightness,
sanctified by love,
I sing for You
my golden songs.

I know You well.
For You,
I weave a golden web.
Yet through that web,
no gold is seen.

And inside the mind
buds of campa flowers bloom.

Why are You scared of coming close to me?

While You are fully absorbed in sweetness,
I am just a dry stone.
Why do You mind me getting influenced by You?

O Lord of all,
You are infinite and beyond form,
whereas I am limited and perishable.
Do never hesitate before me.

You gave me form
taking it from Your own form.
What is there with me to scare You?

The stick of my life and death is in Your hands.
I am just a ball for You to play with.
Everybody in the world knows this.

And because my mind continuously dances around You,
I am unable to stay away from You anyway.

O formless one,
in the hope of attaining Your touch,
I keep floating in the ocean of forms.

This spring my mental bee remains intoxicated
with intense love.

Into the line of beauty that You sketched,
You filled life.
There is life in beauty,
and there is beauty in life.
In this world,
this absolute truth is apparent.

This world of forms consists of light and shade.
Within it, big and small exist.
And within big and small,
good and bad are present.

The great space reflects itself
in the firmament of mind.

Who came into this heavenly garden,
absorbed in sandal fragrance?

Who came bathed in dewdrops,
with a face covered by moonlight?

The sunflower says it wants to look up,
and other than that, it wants nothing.

To that entity,
due to which the world survives,
I offer my mind, heart and soul.

The bakul tree sings from the core of its heart:
"My flowers are fragrant due to His love."

That entity I accept in my mind,
and pull close to me.
For Him I keep my heart filled with sweetness.

The physical and divine worlds
are unable to contain this effulgence of Your beauty.

In my overflowing and restless heart,
what an experience have You brought about?

Those who know the greatness of Your name,
understand the glory of Your love.
To them,
You provide the fragrance of Asti, Bhati and Ananda.

You do not heed any obstruction.

O Lord of all pilgrimage,
At Your feet,

Crowned with smiling and sweet campa flowers,

I was sitting alone in intense darkness,
and with my head held low,
when, from the golden and divine world,
with wings outstretched,
the fairy told me,

"I am with you not just two times, but always.
You were never alone.
Do not you know me as your eternal companion?
Do not let agony overwhelm you.

You might forget me,
but I will never forget you.
Even should you forget me,
I will never ignore you.

I have kept you merged in my mind
and have looked after you carefully.
I will never neglect you even by mistake."

stay in my mind.

Your coming and going secretly,

O King of my mind,
why do You stay afar?

Come close, stay within my mind.

You are the diamond
and You are the diamond's glow.
With Your formless implement
You kindle light.

With the sounds of conches and bells
and with ghee lamps,
I tried to please You,
but I did not find composure in my mind.

Today, come,
and with Your own hands,
in Your own way,
teach me how Your worship is to be conducted.

I have been thinking about You for areas,
I tried to worship You
through hundreds of customary rituals.

Today, I am tired of it all,
and accepting defeat,
I beg Your mercy.
May Your trumpet may ever sound in my heart.

You poured the impulse of Your vivacity
into the ocean of songs.

That is why I see that the stream of Your love
essentially never terminates.

My companions at the shore warned me
about the over accumulation of quicksand.
I did not find boats
nor home for me to stay at.
I remained sitting and forgetting myself,
on the side of blind attachments.

Today, You lifted my burden
and placed me onto Your boat.

You came
and removed the darkness of my mind.

You wiped out all disappointment
and kindled the lamp of hope in my life.

Knowingly or unknowingly,
in my mind,
I love You.

Today, in isolation,
You made me Your own.

You do not want anything;
neither have I done anything for You.

I do not know anything about my own self,
and yet, You nevertheless poured out love.

and scattered Yourself onto this earth.

You filled softness into flowers and buds,
into living and non-living beings.

O Shyam,
You have no comparison.
I love You with all my heart.
By the sweet and charming
enchantment of Your love,
my lamp became kindled.

I do not want anything from You.
Those who possess You, have everything.

In the kaostubha gem of my heart,
You glow timelessly.

You came in the dark night
and kindled my lamp.

You arrived on a cloudy night
and appeared to me bestowing auspiciousness.

When my home was illuminated
with plenty of light,
with a shining lustre,
You came immediately
without even announcing Your arrival.

I had lost everything.
I had created my own stone prison.
Today, I called You with tear-filled eyes.
Hearing my call,
You came to my hut without delay.

By the touch of Your vital energy,
light was kindled in my world.

Everything appeared pleasing,
beaming with the joy of love.

I was alone in a corner of my house,
crying secretly.

That lamentation of mine ended
when You came smiling.

You wiped away my tears,
and told me:
"I am yours, do not cry.
With efforts, move forward towards perfection."

Darkness has descended.
Please kindle light.
This darkness is unbearable.

Pour in Your mind and mingle with humanity,
in the hope for ever more benevolence.

Many ages passed by
in dogmatic and inertial thinking.
Perfect and profound knowledge
now enters the desert mirage.

Nothing ancient will persist,
only what is ever new shall last.
The evening malatii flower smiles and awakens hope.

Ignoring the majority,
do not You know that humanity is burning?

Forgetting the agonies of the past,
call all with raised hands,
and see Your victory banner flying high.

Floating along the current of pollen,
what did the bee whisper
into the ears of the flower?

Was it a love story
or an unmindful narration of agony?

The papiha bird sings of that story.
Hearing its song,
the bee smiles and sings along.

Although afflicted with pain,
that mental bee sings of His immortal glory.

Transported by and surcharged with His honey,
it rushes unto Him.

O guide on my path,
come into the world of my dhyana.
Appear like a pearl in its shell,
appear in the depths of my consciousness.

Now nothing like sin nor piousness remains.
Into that past I do not wish to look.
To attain a wee bit of Your grace only,
I aspire each moment of my life.

O Lord,
I am but a meagre instrument of Yours.
All my feelings rest in You.
To surround You only is the vital essence of my life,
which overflows in countless directions.

My mind tells me that You will come,
that You will not remain far,
that You will come within my reach.

After observing all,
my heart now understands
that real bliss lies in thinking of You.

The way I love You
it is impossible to get satisfaction from anything else.
In it, You too become satisfied,

taking me along
while silently continuing Your divine play.

If I did not exist,
it would impose inconvenience on You.
If drops were not there,
would the ocean exist?

Taking me along on Your illusive divine game
is Your festivity since time immemorial.

What is the use of my constant thinking of You,
of my meditating on You,
if You do not appear in my home?

Come and tell me
whether I should remember You,
whether I have to remember You,
and how I am to do it.

I kept burning the lamp of my hopes,
and beautifully arranged my garland of flowers.
In a solitary garden,
I kept my mental flowers full of sweetness.

What I should do and what not,
only You are to tell me.

Impart to me the mantra of surrender.
In seclusion,
in meditative posture,
I long to catch hold of You.

when did You secretly come
into the recess of my mind?

By the charm of Your dance and song,
You intoxicated my mind.

There is no end to Your form.
When thinking of Your attributes,
I fail to make an estimation of them.

Due to Your skill in performing the divine illusive play,
You are worshipped throughout the world.

I will not waste any time,
I will certainly attain You,
in the thread of love,
in the depth of ideation
in the sweet flow of ragatmika devotion.

O embodiment of graciousness,
after such a long time,
with a smiling face,
You came into my floral garden.

All my latent aspirations and love
today became fruitful in Your effulgence.

Whatever I wanted, I achieved,
whatever I did not demand, that too, I was given.

In the congregation of ideation,
into my thought waves,
You appeared to me face to face,
O embodiment of mercy!

O Lord,
there is neither beginning nor end to You at any time.
Yet, due to foolishness,

I keep searching Your terminus.

You are the Lord of all time to come,
You are with and without form,
O embodiment of the divine play!

You came with the pollen of colourful flowers
in the soft breeze,
like an uninvited guest.

When thinking of those
who love You,
and of those who love You not,
of those who have forgotten You,
and of those who have not forgotten You,
You do not feel sorrowed
but instead pour out the sweetness of Your mind.

I too do love You
without properly knowing or understanding You.
You came in front of me
with incomparably beautiful adornments.

O intensified consciousness,
You flew the flag of mercy into the blue sky.

Why should You carry the entire load alone?
Place something on my head too,
as per the capacity You have given me.

My strength is but Your strength.
Due to Your force I move forward on the path.
My intellect is also Yours.
My pains and pleasures centre around You only.

I have none other than You.
All are friends in happy days.
In times of distress, I find only You.
My survival and end lies within You only.

---------------------------------------

Why should You carry all the burden alone?
Please allot something on my shoulders too,
whatever capacity You have given me, O Lord.

I speak with Your strength,
I move with Your power.
My intellect is also Yours.
All my dances and songs surround You.

Nobody is mine except You.
Everybody is friend in good days,
in pain I find only You.
My life and death is only with You.

You came removing all drowsiness,
pouring out sweetness
and silently merging into my life.

I did not understand
that I did not know a thing.
I remained seated
with my eyes glued to themselves.

By Your touch,
eloquence comes to the dumb.
The upsurge of Your love
flashes liveliness in living beings.

In the desert mirage,
new adornments of greenness appear,
and become embodied in songs.

In Your ideation
all feelings of smallness float away,
and in Your rhythm and dance,
language and melody overflow.

In Your love
and Your ideative pull,
inertia turns into consciousness.

I have no good qualities,
and possess all the bad ones.

Yet, You came to me,
and bestowed Your grace, O Lord.
You had mercy on me.

With Your own attributes You indebted me,
by making me understand what mercy is.

None attains You by dint of their own strength;
a white ant cannot bind a mammoth.
I understand my own incapability and deficiency
and realise Your grace in hundreds of ways.

From You,
O Lord,
I will not seek anything.
Other than You,
I know none.

You make me surmount
all obstructions in my preparations,
O Lord, time and again.

I came innumerable times,
I loved much,
I cried and smiled for You.

My intellect does not know of it,
intuition also fails to realise it.
Why this coming and going?
Again and again?

From time immemorial, in Your rhythm,
immeasurable bliss floats adrift.
None can stop it,
as all revolve around You in circles.

O Lord of all divinities,
Your glory surpasses all history.
All points of logic, reasoning and scriptures,
fade away in the waters of Your mercy.

Tell me what the ultimate motivating force on this path is.
I cannot see a beginning nor I do I find an end.

Who can explain this to me?

Which entity existed within the ocean of consciousness
as the initial point of the principle of "cause and effect"?

At the starting point's location
is situated its ending point too.
All movements are to be found in the middle only.

Philosophy or science,
whatever may be its name,
show restless humanity
a way of obtaining peace.

I know for sure that the creator of this path (or system)
will not allow anyone to fall behind.

Clouds after clouds come,
and so does melody after melody.

I do not know You,
and yet, You keep coming
and again floating away.

You love only from a distance,
come close to me in person.
You look on with loving eyes,
and play with sweet ankle bells.

You are the great consciousness in the universe
whereas I am but a small balloon in the realm of thought.
I keep on burning in the lamp of time

maintaining an unknown stream compressed in my heart.

You came,
loved,
and merged
Your heart into the universal heart.

Have You forgotten
those who accepted You,
or those who did not admit You?

By bringing about smallness in the small pond,
You stayed outside the line of demarcation.

When the flood came, limitations were torn down
and all merged into the great ocean.

Remove, with firm hands,
the malice existing between man and man,
the mean mind that brings about hollowness.
and create a single human society.

You came into my mental garden
at the time when I was unmindfully sitting in it.

You looked at me,
but no one knows
what I may have been thinking of.

Between You and me,
no obstruction prevailed.
And yet, I could not approach You,
but due to vanity, remained far.

Your face was peaceful,
my pair of eyes was full of tears.
And yet, I could not wipe away these tears.
I could not merge in You.

O human beings,
at the invitation of bliss,
why do you sit alone and cry?

With vital impulse
like radiations of flowers,
why do not you mix with all?

Everything overwhelms with joy and smile,
like dancing waves on the sea.

Even atoms and molecules
are restless with ideation.
What for do you keep yourself away?

There is no need to entertain hopelessness.
The creator of the universe,
is your own too.
Know that the smiling supreme consciousness
also loves you.

You come and go,
and, with infinite compassion,
smile and lovingly look upon all.
Yet, nobody sees You.

By Your songs,
the whole world vibrates.
It resonates
with the sweetness of Your tune, rhythm and melody.

When You are close
my love for You rises.
Yet, I still won't merge in You.

Your coming and going
Your love,
Your sweet smile,
are all heart touching.

You are the cosmic mind.
You destroy darkness.
I hold You in each atom and molecule of my heart.

You look at me even if I do not wish to accept You.
I see that You filled my mind with love.

O great consciousness since time immemorial,
who possesses the intellect to understand You?

Only with apt intuition,
can You be understood,
since intellect and intuition
merely result from You.

I have never given You anything,
I have only taken,
and found more than I desired.

When I offered Your items back to You,
You filled me with adornments in exchange.

I am able to understand a little about You, O Lord,
yet, I am unable to articulate whatever it is I may know.

Philosophy and science do not know what You are.
That is why the question of articulation does not arise.

No one knows,
where the origin of life lies.
Situated beyond all limitations,
it is impossible to know it.

You remain intoxicated within all that is bound and measurable.
Yet, our ego does not give up.

It is natural,
for the meagre to call itself small.
This is not false modesty.
It is natural.

O divinity,
so why not bestow Your grace upon us?

and all the sweetness of fruits and flowers.

There is nothing old in Your songs,
in them I find only what is new in newer forms.
In rhythms and melodies,
new facts about ever new events
constantly flow about.

O Lord of all pilgrimage,

You are the greatest.

You glorify particles,
by pouring into them the generosity of Your heart.

You came
in the intense darkness
without being called
and awakened me.

You told me
that there was a lot of work left to carry out today
and told me to sleep

only after the work had been finished,
as time was passing by quickly.

You reminded me
that the duration of daytime is limited
and that each moment
is bound by measurements.

Occasions once gone,
never return,
but vanish behind the periphery of time.

You further told me
that the movement
goes through the three biting teeth of time,
passing through a fixed track,
as if following the threads of a garland.

You also told me
that this life is merely like an inn,
allowing for a little rest on the path only.

This fact must be borne in mind
and not be forgotten.

I found You,
in the sweetness of life.

You kindled the light of intuition
and awakened the consciousness in my dark heart.

O life of all,
You are the great life,
You provide shade to the sun heated mind.

In this movement
You grant honour,
on the path of revolution,
in the world of Vraja.

I found You in the desert mirage,
and also in soft succulence.

I ever keep You with me,
in life and death,
and in the restlessness of life's existence.

On that night,
under the moderate moonlight,
I saw You in my mental garden.

You were smiling with a sweet face,
churning the sweetness of flowers.

Whatever attractive in the world evolves,
whatever good or adorable appears,
finds its base in You only,
is located within You.

In the depth of hearts,
all cherish You.
And I too, am Yours.

O creator of beauty,
do not cast aside my love.
To garland You,
I have kept a floral garland
carefully preserved within me throughout my life.

I do not know,
what it is You want.
But I know a little
about what You gave me.

I never offered anything to You.
I always kept extending my own hands
to obtain more and more.

You sent me to this earth with a human form.
You certainly must have had
specific plans and programs
for me to carry out.

I do not know
what expectations You had,
nor do I want to know.
I know only that I wasted my life
in useless altercations and lethargies.

Due to my ignorance,
the precious time of this human life
went by in vain.

Awareness did not come into my mind
at the proper moment.
My days passed by
in self-indulgent activities and entertainments.

Today, I sit in the desert and count the stars.

At the sandy shore of my life,
I looked at You,
in the crimson current of the morning sun
and the evening's red hue.

In exchange of offering my own mind,
I desired Your mind.
But I did not get
whatever it was I wanted.

I now understand
that there was mistake in this desire.
I do not want anything anymore.
Simply bestow on me whatever may be there.

My mental deer flows tears,
into my forest's river,
into the point we would merge with one another.

Who are You,
who came this way,
at this untimely moment?

What for did You come,
where were You,
why did You love me?

After bestowing a cursory touch,
You left to an unknown world,
with green and tender leafs on Your body,
the southern sandal breeze blowing with vivacity,

O embodiment of songs,
with dance and rhythm,
You appeared as a heavenly form.

I am not acquainted with You,
nor do I have time to think of You.
O entity beyond time,
and embodiment of the divine game,
in seclusion, You keep smiling.

Time is over;
the pastime of sports and games has ended.
I shall return home.

My days pass by
as if on the wings of a swan,
that spread out
to return to its nest.

Coming and going takes place
within a measured periphery only.
Wishes and achievements
last only for a limited period of time.

Leaving it all,
I shall row my boat.
For, the infinite ocean calls me.

I cannot say:
"I shall not go,
wherever others are present,
I shall stay".
Lord Bhaerava calls in a very loud voice,
His call is intense.

You say that You are love,
but I do not find its proof in actual life.

Why are there thorns in the floral garden?
Why do petals whither away?
The dense and dark clouds
cover the beauty of the moonlight.

Why does the hunter rush,
with delusive visions
after the wild deer?

In life's expressions,
why does the dark shadow of time (death) dance?
And to where
does the charming and intoxicating rainbow vanish?

O dearest one,
for You,
my whole life,
I continue singing my song.

You are ever new.
Your melodies, rhythm and tunes,
have intoxicated the universal vivacity.

The flow of life rhythmically dances on
and within it,
the tune of Your song resonates.

The fragrance that is absorbed with intoxication,
contains Your love.

Amidst the waves of the ocean,
in beautiful and formless adornments,
in intensely prolonged melodies,
Your creation's wealth dances.

Only You know,
when You came into the deep recess of my mind.
Nobody else knows it.

When searching science and philosophy,
I could not find a reply anywhere.

The burning power within fire,
the pearl within the shell,
the absolute devotion within the human mind,
who has given all that in secrecy?

Why did You bring about this world,
and attached it to pain and pleasure?
Why did You hide the answer to all that within Yourself only?

At the end of the dark night,
a flower blooms in my mental garden.

That soft flower swings
inside a hidden cradle.

It blooms for You,
to provide You with satisfaction and pleasure.

You know, my "I" feeling,
is restless with Your vibration.

You are mine,
O divinity;
You know the entire events of my core.

All my mental agony,
my tear-filled story,
lies within the resonance of Your dance.

because You forgot the path.

but You did not come,
instead You remained oblivious.

The wave of my voice
resonates in the distant air in the blue sky.
That sound did not break Your sleep.
You remained deaf to it.

Whether or not You listen,
is Your wish.
If You pose deaf,
it is part of Your role in the divine game.

Do not forget to come by forgetting the path,
You came untimely, leaving Your schedule.

by making others weep?
Do not You want to see happy, smiling faces?

This acquaintance between You and me
did not start only a few ages ago.

From the womb of beginninglessness,
You make one float into infinite time.

O the embodiment of kindness,
I recognise You.
You are the inexhaustible embodiment
of the divine play.

To make one smile and cry is part of Your drama.
You create everything knowingly.

You remain filled with unseen effulgence.

You are present in the sweetness of lost melodies,

through whatever knowledge You have given me.

In an upsurge of beauty, flow and colour
the sky descends and touches the ocean.
Within that, I long for shelter,
holding the beautiful garland of Your love.

I know it is not merely useless imagination.
I know You will fulfil my desire.

You make the world dance
with ankle bells,
with rhythmic illusion,
on the play's stage.

At that time the shiuli flowers had not yet dropped,

Dawn had not yet peeped in,
at the time the sound of Your footsteps reverberated.

At the door I heard a tapping sound
and thought the same night had again come.

On that night You were scheduled to come,
the date had been fixed.

Yet, even knowing the date had come,
I was not prepared.
Although my house was ready,
my mind was not.

I did not leave my bed nor opened the door,
the sound stopped.
It disappeared with the assurance of returning again.

yet, You did not come near me.

I carefully picked flowers
and lovingly threaded my garland,
yet, in the sun's heat,
it withered away.

People say that You are ocean of mercy,
then why not fill my pot?
By placing ignorance and restlessness upon me,
You instead filled me with hollowness.

In the intense flow of Your divine game,
I have only one prayer:

There is no harm in You continuing Your game.
But if You do not understand other people's agony
and deepest feelings,
what is the beauty of Your game?

O dear,
I know that in maintaining the hope of attaining You,
pleasure is to be found.

It remains up to Your wish
whether or not You come,
whether or not You love me.

Who can keep count
of how many flowers bloomed?
Of how many smiling lamps
daily become extinguished?

Of it, I do not keep any account
neither does anyone else.
I know this truth to pertain to only You.

I too, similarly bloomed without honour
and, like any unknown flower,
eventually dropped on the ground.

And yet, in that dropped pollen,
all the fragrance of my mind lies contained.

I shall narrate to You in person.

O stealer of mind, listen to my shy language,
it has lost and mislaid
all binding threads of rhythm and song.

You came into my floral garden,
into my mental garden.
All songs are sung in my mind only.

You are the great life.

Whatever songs I rehearsed
throughout my life,
all centre around Your feet and ankle bells.

My everything I offer unto Your feet.
This is the sole desire of my mind.

I dreamt that You secretly came to my home.

However, You did not break my sleep,
You did not speak to me,
Who knows what it was You observed.

How many flowers bloomed
in the garden that I decorated?
How many trees and creepers
were present in the colourful canopy?
How many juicy and intensely sweet fruits
had carefully been placed there
that I saw on awakening?

I was unconscious
in deep sleep
in isolated silence,
and continued crying in my choked home.

If You would have called
and lifted me at least once,
we would have been face to face intimately.

The fairy said,
"I brought flowers for You,
in person.
I loved, came close to You,
and kept You in my mind."

There is unlimited glory in a small flower,
vast greatness in a small particle.
He who has given this greatness and glory,
about Him I ever think in my mind.

In a small mind,
the cosmos comes into fold,
and small nebulae
beautify the universe.

At the feet of Him
bestowing recognition to the small,
the mind loses itself.

It would have been good,
had I not recognised and loved You.

Then, I would not have allowed You
to enter into the depth of my mind
and into my home.

O dearest one,
I love You!

Strongly understand that You are mine.
Today, I think in that way for all.
What name shall I give to that love?

In my sky,
You are the only moon.
Innumerable stars exist only for namesake.

Let them fade away,
my moon will remain.
To You, I shall recount
the story of my core.

If drowsiness should descend
at the call of inertia,
and I no longer listen to You,
then, with Your song,
wake me up.

I came to do Your work,
and decorated myself
in innumerable adornments.

So that Your grace
may ever remain in my mind.
So that, whenever I forget You,
I shall not fall.

Drifting in Your grace,
I keep smiling, bathed in liberation.

Today, at dawn,
You came and gave the message
that a new era was approaching.

You told me that darkness had faded away
and that humanity had been enlivened.

Humanity had shrunken due to the excessive number of demons.
Today, humanity has developed the inner strength of consciousness
to remove those demons.

O guide of the chariot of effulgence and cosmic goal,
You brought with Your own hands the water of hope

to shower upon all.

You came with a sweet smile,
to fulfil everyone's ultimate desire.

I dreamt yesterday that You had come to my home.

Hence today, I kept my home decorated,
in case You might repeat Your visit.

The mind that was covered with darkness
became filled with illumination.
Pitch darkness became filled with softness.

I am ready to welcome You.
I do Your work without pause.

With Your ideation,
my days and nights pass by,
in the flow of profound tears of bliss.

You loved the three worlds
and hence You dissolved in them.

Indifferent to who loves You and who does not,
You keep doing Your job.

You pour illumination into the dark hearts;
You destroy pitch darkness by Your sunrise.

By Your sweet smile and charming flute,
You bring tides into the layers of atoms and molecules.

The distant nebula
and the impressions of the mind,
all the records of destiny,
are located within You.

Embarking everyone,
be they far or near to the shore,
You carry the stream of life unto the ocean of nectar.

Nobody knows
during which age,
the introduction between You and me took place.

I know it has not taken place only a few days ago,
Tell me, when did it?

In which distant past,
did You create the Earth
and pour honey into flowers and fruits?

Why did You make the survival of the self dependent on love?
Some understand it, others do not.

In order for no one ever to lose oneself in the crowd,
You observe all meticulously.

Without You, there is no desideratum.
Yet, even knowing this, people do not understand.

You told me You would come back and left.
But You forgot Your words of assurance.

I know that I do not have any proper spiritual endeavour.
And that is why You did not grant the wee bit of Your grace.

O formless gem, consciousness,
and charming soft bouquet of beauty,
knowing me as a meagre and unconscious one,
You took away with You my lapses too.

I have no more ambition;
whatever You have gave, fulfilled my mind.
Still, it would have been better
had You come back and lifted me unto Your lap.

Why did You come today
having had to return so untimely?

It was as though You had come by mistake,
and once You realised the mistake You wanted to return.

I had not kept the welcoming pot filled with water at the door.
I had not kept the golden lamp kindled at home.

I had been sleeping, crying profusely,
from Your lack of affection.

You possess all qualities but do not show affection,
You understand everything but do not realise my agony.

My experience thus speaks about You,
You appear only to let tears flow from my eyes.

You came because You had forgotten which was the right path to take.

I do not know rituals and do not believe in undertaking pilgrimages.
You appeared to me by Your grace only.

Providing greenery to the desert,
blooming flowers on dry trees,
and swinging pearl necklaces on bare necks,
You smiled.

I understand that only You are mine.
Except You there is none I can call my own.
Everything that I possess is due to Your causeless grace.

Yet, knowingly and deliberately,
You revealed Your ignorance by coming to me.

have I drawn many an imaginary decoration of memories.

Whatever I do is but for You.
Whatever I think is nothing but remembering You.
During sweet nights,
I float on in Your stream.

O dear,
You are mine.

Yet, I am unable to understand this fact.
Why, I do not know.
Perhaps no keen desire has so far arisen in me.

You gave me a mind with limitations and boundaries.
With such a mind, how is one supposed to understand You?

All efforts would be useless and a waste of time.
Yet, the mind wants to hold that which is most difficult to attain.

Fathoming the bottom of the ocean of effulgence,
can anyone's mind ever find happiness?

I shall totally submerge myself in Your effulgence
and thus remain Your own.
I shall become unified with You,
by dissolving myself in You.

as I awake.

In butter, I find Your softness,
in the fragrant essence of flowers, Your sweetness,
in the blue sky, flashes of Your pervasiveness.
Seeing all this, I absorb myself in You.

You are in a sphere above the known and the unknown.
In layers of atoms and molecules,

You remain in close contact and fill the sky.
You vibrate in depth the seven layers of the cosmic mind.
To all You remain very close.

Dear Lord,
You are mine and I am also Yours.
I dance in tune to Your thought
rhythm after rhythm.

In light or in darkness,
on the shore of the stream of life,
I search those series of waves.

On the path of movement,
You continuously provide inspiration.
In the urge of action,
You never forget me.

Should I ever forget You,
then, shedding tears,
break my drowsiness with sweet spirit.

Within You there is no place for smallness.
I find You located in transcendental ideation.
In the mind inflicted with agony,
You provide the vibration of the festivity of light
that sparkles with illumination.

Though I know I made a mistake,

Why did You come to me?
You understood my pain and won my mind.

I kept my home decorated for You,

I desperately cried for You

In the end,
my flowers withered away,
and my tears dried in the air.
My pain drifted into the sky

I shall satisfy You with plenty of love.
And do not stay away during my bad days either.
All my poor man's food I shall serve You.

Kindle light in my dark home.
When You are away,
I am lost in inertia and crudity.
When You surround me closely,
I realise my true self.

I sing Your song while smiling or crying,
and remain intoxicated with Your ideation.
I bow down before You,
offering my hundreds and hundreds of salutations unto You.

I searched You amidst smiles and joy,
forgetting that You are attainable amidst sorrow too.

You are present in the honey of flowers,
in the moon of the moonlight,
in the fragrance of flower petals
but also in the frightfulness of cyclonic storms.

You exist in the effulgence of heaven,
and in the delight of life.
You dwell in both physical and psychic worlds
and also in the flame and fire of meteorites.

Having come and smiled,
tell me why You left.

Do not You attend and look after those who love You?
You scattered beauty all over the earth,

filling it with particles of sweetness.

You continue calling through signs and gestures.
Then why such deception? Tell me.

If You do not wish to appear to me,
why do You come and go?
Coming through the light
why do You hide in the darkness?

One moment You make us smile,
another You make us cry.
Tell me why this overwhelming divine play?

You kindle light in dark houses
and love the distressed ones.

With both hands,
You wipe from the body
the stains of sin.

Except You nobody has anyone else in the real sense.
Because of this, everyone looks unto You,

to come under Your eternal shelter and for Your divine grace.

And by Your infinite grace,
I am always under Your shelter,
with You eternally showering down Your love.

Nobody is ever helpless
when the divine blessing of Your varabhaya mudra is there.

To You even the highest mountains bow their head.
With a smile, You bestow colourful illuminations on me.

You love only for name sake and to show off.
Why would we otherwise observe it?

I will not speak and will no more show signs of consent.

The garland has been threaded.
The floral bouquet is kept ready.
My bag is full of buds of mahul flowers,
but I shall give You no more.

The sun rises.
The colourful dawn has come.
You are the hero of my mind.
Leaving me, where are You going?

When You come close my mind dances with bliss.
Let my world be confined to within and around You only.

I have come to move according to Your wishes.

To make You the sole vow of my life,
illuminating me with Your light
in both life and death.

I work for You from morning till evening,
yet, O Lord,
You did not give me sufficient time.

Have mercy on me
so that I may clear the burden of responsibilities entrusted to me
during the day time itself.

I do not want wealth, recognition or respect.
Just give me absolute faith in my Ista,
so that, by the strength of Your blessings,
I may achieve the climax of Your work.

O beloved,
when and with what mood,
will You appear,
no one can say or knows.

Even reasoning again and again,
You remain impossible to comprehend,
O liberator.

Can the lotus bloom on hard ground?
Do bees sing mentally?
If You wish,
even the dense and dark clouds will rain nectar.

Your wish is our attainment.
Our wishes are not attainable.

This push and pull of Yours
of wishes and attainments
has been taking place in hundreds of ways,
ages beyond ages.

You told You would come back and went away.
But the time of Your return did not come.

When You were nearby,
You had loved me,
and told me You would not forget.

Many hundreds of trees, plants, stars and planets
have been flooded by Your love.
But why did You cast me aside,
wiping me from the screen of Your memory?

Like me,
many are those that have been forgotten
and are now lying on the ground,
afflicted with agony.
Does not their pain enter Your mind?
Tell me, what sort of mind do You have?

And yet, You are not satisfied.

squeezing my afflicted heart.

People say that You are ocean of grace.
Why is then my destiny so different?
I keep carrying a heavy load of agony at all times.

I do not know
why You are so compassionate to others,
but discriminate against me?

Still, I remain very much alive
with the hope of obtaining
even just a wee bit of Your grace at daybreak.

He told me,
“Do not worry.
I am with you.
Do not cry.

The golden light will come
and destroy all darkness.
Do not forget these words of mine.

Even the clusters of stars in the sky are never alone.
With the light of the moon,

they forget their pain and agony.

If due to the intense heat of summer,
you can no longer bear the burns,
by bringing the sandal breeze,
I shall provide a sweet and soothing relief.

If due to humiliating words your feeling are hurt,
by applying the essence of nectar
from the melodies of the peacock and the papiha bird,
I shall remove all tortures.”

O beloved,
waving my lamp to welcome You,
how much I have called,
yet You did not come.
Tell me why.

I prepared a garland from the fresh flowers of the morning,
and poured the evening's red colour of my heart into it.
Many songs did I sing for You,

but the occasion to sing them did not arise.
I have nothing more to say for You to listen to.

Perhaps You do not want to accept my love.
Yet, silently, in the recess of my mind,
I shall continue to draw each moment,
Your shining and effulgent memory.

My life, death and characteristics,
are of no importance to You.

For me, my days and nights are too much,
but for You, my million of years are but meagre,
comparable to a small dewdrop in an unlimited and immense ocean.

I have come in the stream of Your effulgence
and float with the force of Your pull.
I exist in Your flow of love,
as though I had no existence of my own.

In life and death, I find but Your grace.

The light of dawn carries Your touch.
The lotus and lily bloom due to Your pleasure.
You bring fresh greenery to the desert.
You are like a soft dream absorbed in sweetness.

You dance in the blue sky with the fragrance of flowers.
You flash like a fringe in the recess of mind.

Your effulgence smiles like a steady glow of lightning,
both inside and around the cosmic mind.

O stealer of mind,
in whose mental garden,
did You secretly pick flowers this spring?

Along with their honey,
You carried away those flowers,
leaving behind the hard stalk only.

Having me constantly think of You,
You continue the divine play,
without ever talking to me.

By the vibration You bring into whatever expression,
the cakor bird of my mind is intoxicated.

You are my companion since time immemorial.
The string of Your love spreads onto an infinite path.
It keeps me bound and wipes off my tears.

Hence in Your ideation, I remain totally absorbed.

Whatever is within my capability,
dancing with beauty and melody,

You spread Your intoxicating charm.

The path through which You had gone,
over that lies no liveliness or charming beauty.
With the pathetic song
played on the strings of the viina of my heart,
I wipe off the tears from my eyes.

What for are You residing within my mind, tell me.

I am unable to hide any thought from You.
What torture is this!

It is difficult to understand Your liila,
the divine play.
It is very deep,
and as immeasurable as the ocean.

Whenever I go to measure it,
my whole existence becomes lost,
floating in consciousness.

O Lord of the divine play,
if You do not want to appear to me,
then tell me,
what it is You want.

Knowing Your wish,
I shall be contented.
Do not You know that?

You loved,
won over me
and dissolved.

You destroyed what was inauspicious,
replacing it with what is auspicious.

I recognised Your form and attributes.
I did not visit places of pilgrimage to look for You.
I did not perform penances to attain You,

I just gave my mind to You,
and in turn, obtained Your mind.
I remained in the world with a frenzied mind.

It is impossible to describe You,
who does not have any beginning, end or middle.

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

I could not kindle the lamp to welcome You.
I could not thread my garland.
I could not decorate Your altar with a floral tray.

My mind merely desired and loved You.
I understood that You had simply come by granting Your grace.

I shall never let You go away any more.
I shall keep the door of my inner mind bolted.
During my pleasures, sorrows, agonies, cries and smiles,
I shall remain looking at You.

Come in Your full form
and fill my heart with light.

You are the ocean of light in the unbound consciousness.
All the microcosms are illuminated by You.

Amidst the coming and going of clouds,
You cannot be forgotten.

Knowingly or unknowingly,
all long for You.
By the thread of love,
all find You close.
Because of Your existence,
I exist in the flow of Your divine nectar.

Tell me with what song I should call You.

You exist in stars and in the moon.
You exist as fountain of effulgence.
You are in the seen and in the unseen,
providing consciousness to those in drowsiness.

You exist in the mirror of maya.
You are within black hair
and in the jewel necklace of love,
pulling all with rhythmic oscillations.

Irrespective of whatever pride of wisdom I may have,

that nothing else belongs to me,

Who are You who came kindling light in my darkness,
during this post autumnal, prewinter period?
You came on a silent night, playing sweetly.

There is none else I could have called my own.
None else was there to wipe my tears of agony.

Extending both Your hands,
You wiped the tears from both my eyes,
instantly making me forget my pain.

Who is that beloved one?
Till today I do not know,
and neither does my mind want to get introduced to him.

But this much do I know:
that You are with me,
that You were with me
and that You will remain with me,
within and beyond the periphery of time.

binds all in the tears that flow down the eyes.

Who is that foreigner,

inundates my sorrows with sweetness?

During my leisure hours,
when I am alone,
I see His love in the crimson colour.

Within actions too,
I become absorbed in Him,

He does not forget me
even if I forget Him.

With the charming expression of awakening,
my life flows into hundreds of flows.

On this moonlit path of bakul flowers,

He made me see even that which I could not imagine.
And what I had been thinking of again and again,
did not materialise.
Who knows this divine play?
Who weaves that web,
rhythmically and with such upsurge of emotions?

O formless one,
unrealisable by voice and mind,
You filled the animate and inanimate worlds
and scattered light in the darkness.
Like the light from a necklace,
You dazzle as embodiment of rhythm.

Come to my home.
I think about You day and night,
always engrossed in Your thought.

I have neither skill nor intellect.
I don't have an accumulation of good samskaras.
I simply love and only float in Your ideation.
And thus thinking the whole night through, morning comes.

My love was like a tender leave
and matured into a green leave.
O dear,
by the touch of Your own hand
You tied me with the thread of love.

Cast aside all ego,
and He will come again.

The moon lost in dark periods,
reappears again and again.

The leaves that drop from being hit by winter,
come again as tender leaves during spring.

The sunlight becomes covered by clouds,
but returns again when clouds move away.
Nobody is meagre,
not even you.
Everyone gets the light of Parama Purusa.

Keep Him in the mind,
and engrave Him in your memory.
Even if hidden, He remains with all.

Where is the terminus of this path?
There is neither start nor end to it.
Where lies its origin
and where does it lead to?

Who is that hidden pioneer?
Even after so much search, He is not seen.
This much though I do know,
that He is nearby.
Why then does He not come into my fold?

He does not clearly tell what He wants.
Nor does He reveal Himself.
What does He do on arriving?

He does not come within philosophy and science.
My intellect finds Him hard to understand.
Hence, other than His grace there is really no remedy.

How much of this divine game do You know!

Those who are close by,
You push them away.
And those who consider You far,
You pull them close.

You cover the moonlit sky with clouds.
You cover the green land with meteorites.
You place the sweet lotus in muddy water
and to disappointed hearts, You bring rays of hope.

Looking at this divine game,
I long to see the embodiment of this game,
But in this illusive game,
I do not attain Him.
From within a secluded forest,
through the chirping of the birds,
why do I continue my search?

O Lord,
You came at such untimely hour.
The whole day through I had been calling You,
stubbornly keeping my door open.

Could You not hear my call?
Even after hearing it,
You did not pay any attention to it.
Tired of the whole day,
I slept imagining being on Your lap.
And it was then that You came in the darkness.

It might have been my adamancy.
I might not have had the merit to attain You,
Yet, with the hope of obtaining Your grace,
I had called You.
You then mercifully came to me.

There is neither big nor small around You.
There is neither agony of desire nor attainment.
You are complete and perfect.
Keeping me absorbed in sweetness,
I do not fear getting lost.

The flower buds are now blooming,

Their petals are filled with Your honey.

When You arrived with mental fragrance,
and Your touch kissed the firmament of my mind,
Your selfless effulgence scattered in the infinite.

It is to move towards You
by dint of Your attractive force.

Forgetting the distinction between own and others,

provide directions to Your light,

kindled light and aroused a new consciousness.

Those who were in deep sleep forgetting You,
in them, You aroused inspiration.

When darkness comes down to the earth,
and the message of humanity lies in the dust,
You awaken effulgence
and by Your Grace, consciousness arises.

O embodiment of mercy,
O one beyond darkness,
You never speak about Your glories.
You remain silent hidden within my core.
You never stop whatever resistance You may face.

thinking only of Your attributes.

I am unable to understand Your characteristics,
whatever style You may express Yourself with.

What a song of Yours is this
that You do not come to me,
that You do not appear to me face to face?

I keep enumerating Your glories and affection,

I find You to be otherwise, the opposite.
Nobody can call this love,
Your acting like a motionless stone in the garden.

On a moonlit night,
alongside the moon,
I thought of You
and found You with Your rhythm and song.

You pour light into the pitch black darkness of my “I” feeling.
Though there is imbalance in me,

You love me wholeheartedly.

From my mouth comes one thing
and in action appears another.
I act like a poison-filled jar
with sweets on top.

You know how to love.
You accept and consider all Your own.
You pull and bring the distant ones close,
without ever entertaining discriminating preferences.

The boat of white clouds floats on into the blue sky.
Down below lies the young grass,

amidst a mesh of tall grasses and shrubs.

Winter says,
"I have come kissing the soft and cool dew and the snow.
Those who come to me, will also be stirred by me.

I have brought with me a bouquet of shefali flowers,
full of fragrance.

In the silent night,
in this isolation,
I thread the garland of songs."

During this winter night,
under the play of moonlight,
tell me, whose events remain awake in my mind?

Who is that unknown one,
who has taken away all my shyness and fear?

Will He not come again and love me?
And should He come this time,
will He not enter my mind?
Will He not weave a web of stories,
and capture my heart with new sensations?

I survive for Him only.
All my hopes centre around Him.
Without reason, I cry and laugh, full of ego.
And in newer and newer styles,
I sing my timeless songs.

Make me more polite than that,
by giving me the dust of Your feet.

Even should You forget,
that is no harm.
I do not pray for You to keep me in Your mind.
Just keep me close to You.
Do not close Your eyes,
and make me forget the pain that You have given me.

Come into my mind and into all my thoughts.
Continuously searching You in all my actions,
You will be attained.

I want You in the broad daylight,
so that I may not get frightened by darkness.
Remove all the attachments of my mind,
completely filling me with nectar.

I have always demanded from You,
without ever thinking about what I could give.
I continued to stretch out my hands and have only taken.
Now, free me from this poverty.

Holding on to the path of light,
removing all darkness,
we move forward,
with heads held high.

We all have firm faith in Parama Purusa.
Doubts never arise.
We continuously keep our aim in front of us,
like a red ray.

We love this earth, the nebula, the planets and the stars.
And we shall love more.

With our smiles,
we shall scatter light onto all.

We do not want the destruction of anyone.
We move on the path of all round prosperity.
We express our welcome to all,
be they animate or inanimate.

I have taken 'forward movement' as the vow of my life.
I extend my sweet and affectionate call to all to accompany me,
knowing that my society consists of all.

Even if the world does not want the welfare
of those anti social elements poisoning the earth,
I have love for them also and I want to rectify them.

I shall not hate anyone any time.
Neither shall I ignore anyone.
That not a single person be left behind,
let us pull the chariot together.

You do not come during the broad daylight of joy.
You come during the darkness of sorrows.
You do not appear in the smile of the moonlight.
You provide soothing balm on pains in times of darkness.

Everyone knows that You love all.
Everybody accepts that You think for all.
All reasoning is but to strengthen love,
to love You in a better way.

You are beginningless, O Lord,
and Your abode is infinity.
In all the twelve months
You are always with me,
in both pain and pleasure.

You are the divine shelter of everyone.
You are the very life and soul of all.
You pull everyone close to You.

please come close.

Do not push me with Your feet,
just smile softly.

Your love pervades infinity.
It lies spread throughout the cosmos
with both individual and collective links.

I too am within You,
dressed in the adornment You have given me.

You love, even if unwillingly.
You are the controller of the world and its very life.
You are the confidence and saviour of all.

Within this world,
I keep myself engaged in Your work.
O one beyond darkness,
destroy all darkness!

I had imagined You to be very far.
I had never thought You could be so close.

I had gone on pilgrimage,
traversing forests and mountains,
but did not find You anywhere.

O divinity,
You perform Your divine game,
and look down on me as a very meagre entity,
giving me a crooked smile.

When I am lying down fatigued,
You lift me on Your lap.
I then find You closer than I could have ever imagined.

From within Your mind,
You observe all,
and witness all activities.

You purify even those
ceaselessly inflicting burns and injuries on others.
And yet, You never forget.

Dear Lord,
that winter night,
You came to my home,
oblivious of the path.

I had no hope for Your arrival ever to take place,
at the door of this poor person.

I could not get the time to decorate my home.
I could not thread a garland from of my mental flowers.
I could not sketch any welcoming signs,

neither on the water jar,
nor on the altar,
nor on the path of Your arrival.

I have now understood,
that this visit of Yours is simply due to Your causeless mercy.
I do neither know the invocation mantra,

nor do I know how to say 'goodbye'.
Hence, I expect You to stay forever.

Thinking of You,
my days pass by.
Do not You hear and understand this?

At times I wish not think of You anymore,
as You do not respond to my longing.
Then again I think
that I should ideate on You once more.
Even if after all these ages,
You did heed my call.

Irrespective of whether You love me or not,
why don't You just come closer?
Flashing my core it dawns upon me
that whatever You do,
it all simply is but Your mercy.

my whole life through,
I wandered about.
Do not You know that?

Forgetting all drowsiness,
with tearful eyes,
I continued calling You.
Yet, You did not hear me.

I searched You on forest lanes.
I wanted You in the desert mirage.
I looked for You in the glories of places of pilgrimage.
You did not see nor understood me.

Only one quality in You do I could recognise,
that even after listening, You pretend not to hear.
You know, and yet You still maintain unawareness.
What delusion! Do not tell me otherwise.

Nobody knows during which golden period,
holding on to the flow of melody, You came.

Intoxicating minds,
fulfilling hearts,
unknown to all,
You poured forth intuition.

How much time has since passed?
How many streams merged into the ocean?
And how many flowers bloomed thereafter
and again withered away into the depth of time?
Of it, there exists no account.

Since then, I sit and wait for You,
counting moments and seconds.
With the wounds of fatigue,
I lie into sleep,
with nobody understanding my agonies.

alongside the moon,
I wanted You in my nest.
Please look at me at least once.

Into my heart and with Your song,
a turbulent tide has risen.

I have no right,
and therefore secretly request You.

My arrogant mind does not listen and wants only You.

This desire of mine is not infinite
but will be quenched only after it attains the infinite.

The earth revolves around desire and attainment,
around that meeting with the unknown.

Fill my survival with light,

Knowledge and intellect come by Your mercy.
Affluence and achievement are obtained by Your grace.

If You so desire, a flower will bloom in the desert

we keep working.

Forgetting Your path,

on the peak of the mountain?

Please come down quickly
and graciously look at the downtrodden humanity,
lying in the dust.

Human beings have forgotten that they are human beings.
They are floating useless and imaginary balloons into the sky.

Please come and awake those who,
due to the extreme influence of avidya maya, due to ignorance and due to vanity,
have lost their senses.

In Your mind there should not arise any dilemma
about whether or not the opportune moment has come.

This creation has been formed by You,
and You Yourself will have to save it.

The time for descending unto this earth has come.
Now row the boat of humanity in the proper direction.
You will have to hold the oars in Your own hand.

Stay closer to me
and hide within my mind.

And should You not want to speak,
I won't feel pained.
I shall not ask You to speak.

I carry on with Your work,
calling You day and night.

Keep my life filled with Your song,
in whatever way You wish,
be it pain or pleasure.

Engaged in an endless penance,
I want to utterly remove darkness.

Only one hope remains awake,
that You may look at me with love.

Nobody knows,
where You came from,
or which place You left for.

Tell me why night comes after day,
and darkness reappears after light.

At times of distress,
when one feels eclipsed by pessimism,
rays of hope eventually reappear in one's eyes.

Suppressing, condemning, praising and repenting,
You provide inspiration to move forward.

The flow in the stream swiftly runs unto an unknown ocean.
It flows with momentum and belief,

carrying a distant melody,
and undeterred by obstructions whatsoever.

I call You,
I invoke You.

Come to my small hut.
Come to my mental temple.

I search You in the morning light,
in the floral beauty of the lane of bakul flowers.
I search You amidst the brilliant and white base
of the shining evening stars and nebula.

I search You my whole life,
unable to contain the feelings of my heart.
I search You in all actions,
in all characteristics of life,
in the essence of the nectar of that brilliant effulgence.

It is impossible to recognise You.

As soon as I think I have recognised You,
darkness envelops my consciousness.

Your trumpet keeps blowing.
The flower pollen smiles within You.

In the end, in solitude,
I realise that everything happens by Your grace.

Nothing really belongs to me.
The thought of possession is in fact a sin.
Hence all seek Your mercy.

The beloved one of everyone has entered my mental sphere,
residing both inside and outside of me.

It is impossible to forget You.
All love You.
You are the world's essence.

Whatever I had mistakenly considered as belonging to me
actually belongs to You.

Now save me from this deceitful blunder.

Within You, all are sheltered.
You are the grand container of all.
All exist within You.

I found my place on the dust of the land,
while Yours is at the peak of the mountain.

Between You and me lies immense obstruction,
yet, You keep constant watch over me.

I do not want You to come down,
but neither do I want You to smile from afar.
I only want You to pull me up
and keep me close to You.

I am the created
and You are the creator.
I am a scene
and You are the witness.

Even though I am meagre,
I am Your qualification.
Therefore do not forget this request of mine.

In which forgotten past,
did You visit my home
and went away far,
never to return?

Many days and nights had I ceaselessly cried,
but You did not wipe away my tears.

If I had known You to be so affectionless,
I would not have loved You at all.
How could I make such a mistake?
Today, I cannot discard this love.

The bondage with which You have tied me,
did You tie Yourself with it too?
During Your leisure hours, doesn't it ever arise in Your mind,
that this one person may not have forgotten You?

Why did You come into my mind today,
without heeding any obstacles,
without listening to my words,
in the crimson morning colour of the sky,
through the chirping of the birds?

I had remained engrossed in materialistic enjoyment,
concerned only with my own self,

without bothering to look at whatever direction.
You made me forget all that.
How did You do it?

Seeing me, You immediately called me.
Speaking smilingly, You floated on.
You made the formless earth vibrant,
and appeared to me by dint of Your own qualities.

O Lord,
all exist and survive by Your mercy only.

Abandoning You,
none can survive,
none can exist,
in the three worlds.

Even those who do not love You,
O Lord,
are never distant from You either.

You accept them.
You think about them.
And thus creation revolves.

You love all.
You are everyone's ray of hope.

In the recess of each mind,
Your jewel lamp glows.

Keep the world filled with beauty,
that it may never leave us.

Remain vibrant with smile.
Do not allow us to entertain alternative imaginations.
Reverberating with sweet feelings,

do not forget this delusory world.

You remain merged with all.
You are mixed into all actions.
You intoxicate with rhythm and tune.

O master of dances,
You never pause.

Come close,
O foundation of all.

You are not to be found in places of pilgrimage, in forests,
in incantations, in mantras of prayer, or in solicitations.

You reside within my mind,
hiding secretly,
and uttering from within this call of mine.

O king of kings,
O emperor,
remove all my shyness and fear.

My mental peacock dances today,
as it looks at You.

that You may guide my mind along the path of light.

If ever I am surrounded by hopelessness,
please hold the lamp of hope in front of me.

If at any time,
fear, shyness, or hatred obstruct my path,
bring consciousness with a thundering voice.

Whenever my mind becomes intoxicated by crude, sensuous pleasures,
awaken sleeping humanity within me.

I shall move along Your path that I may not get trapped in negativity.
On this path, You Yourself, please be my guide.

What synthesis of contradictions it contains!

Accepting defeat,
You appear to those who surrender.

What divine and playful flow!
What smile of love!

When in tears, You smile.
And when in pain, don't You indicate an even bigger smile?

I won't say anything anymore.
Whatever You want, please do.

Only this much do I request,
that You shower Your blessings upon all.

You provide the boon of blessings and fearlessness (the Varabhaya Mudra).
During light, You dance with joy.

You remain ever engrossed in creation, sustenance and destruction.
I shall never keep You far from me.

You remain ever mingled with all,
You fill auspicious thoughts with inspiration,
You arrange for melody,
and for the language of songs.

Leaving You, I do not remain.

wipe it out from my mind.

About whatever I did, and about whatever I did not do,
with whatever and however much happiness or agony,
about whatever I could not accomplish with this human frame,
about all that work,

I shall not think.
Only about You shall I think wholeheartedly.

With the flame of my lamp in front of me,
and a victory mark on my forehead,
O Lord, I shall move forward on the path.
Do not maintain any veil before me please.

As per Your wish,
I shall go on doing Your hundreds of works.
I shall remember You at all times.

O King of Songs,
please come into my life!

Wanting You,

You remain at all times.

When the eastern sky becomes filled with crimson colours
and the flower garden emanates a sweet smell,

new loti blossom in my mind.
Please come and take Your seat there.

I want to hold You,
and keep You in the core of my heart.
In pains and pleasures I long for You.

This is my humble surrender,
the craving of my heart,
hear it with Your ears,
in Your own, peculiar quality.

O King of songs,

I love You,

You are present each moment.
The eastern sky is immersed in crimson colours,
the flowers in my garden
spread a sweet fragrance.

New and newer blue loti bloom in my mind.
Come and sit there.

I want to hold and keep You
in the core of my heart,
that I may find You close
in pains and in pleasures.

To this prayer and solicitation
and craving of my heart,
let Your ears listen
by virtue of Your own attributes.

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

O king of songs, please come into my life!
I wanted You and became intoxicated by You.
You are everywhere.

When the eastern sky becomes filled with crimson colours

a new lotus blossoms in my mind.
Please come and sit on it.

I want to hold You,
and keep You in the core of my heart.
In pains and pleasures I long for You.

This is the humble craving,
the surrender,
the acceptance
and the desire of my mind.
Please have mercy and do not ignore it.

In exchange of whatever goodness and light I possess,
appear to me in charming adornment.

Everything of Yours is good.
You are the beauty of the spotless moon.
Please shower Your causeless grace upon me,
removing all my fear and shyness.

I want You close.
I have no other desire.
That is why I search for You in all my actions,
O Lord of all lords.

Looking at You,
thinking about You,
my days pass by.

You do not hear nor talk to me.
Tell me for once what I am to do.

I shall certainly attain You.
I was Yours, and Yours I shall remain.

Wandering about in cimmerian darkness,
I had forgotten that Yours I was.

The lotus loves the sun.
Despite its smallness, it loves the great.
Similarly, I love You too,
and can no longer stay away from You.

With the charm of flowers
that pervades this garden lane,
You came, flooding my being.

Whatever You taught
whatever You told,
I retained it all on my mental plate.

I cannot forget the event of that day,
when my heart became coated with love.

I maintain my mental flower soft with love,
throughout the seasons and months.

After all these days
of useless search in the external world,
I attained You within.

I have now achieved all my aspirations
in the depth of mind,
secretly and in solitude.

I know Your coming and going never really happens.
Neither is there desire nor achievement.
But due to mental illusion,

Because of this illusion,
this world exists and revolves in cyclic order.
Knowing You to exist so close,
it will not distance itself from You.

You are actually so close we cannot even imagine.

Who thinks You have forgotten me?
You actually You think of me each moment.

I had thought You to be far
and had therefore been wandering about uselessly.

Today, I recognised You, O Lord.
Your effulgence flashes my mind.

You listen to the feelings of all
and understand the agony in one's core.

Touching hearts with Your own heart,
You understand all yearnings.

O Parama Purusa, we being ignorant,
do not understand anything.
In spite of that,
we find faults in Your glory.

Who are You who came today
into my garden of flowers,
filling up Your basket
without uttering a word?

I could not ask You to come in and take Your seat,
neither could I welcome You in the canopy.

When I had called You, You did not come.
Coming now without being called,
You silently entered my mental garden.

Without announcing Yourself,
and with a sweet smile,
You became engrossed in plucking flowers.

I could not understand Your divine game.
Why did You continue playing with my mind?
In my garden,
hiding from me,
You swung the vibration of love.

Think of my earnest longing,
do not be bereft of affection,

During crimson-coloured mornings,
I think about You.
In between the evening stars,
I see Your image.

On lonely nights,
I hear on the lane surrounded by trees,
the footsteps of Your arrival.

Do not be farthest,
come close to me.
Do not forget that You are my innermost.

In light and darkness,
You surround me,
O charming sweetness!

You came,
pulled me close to You
and coloured my mind
with Your colour.

All that had been due to me,
You gave.
You gave even that which I did not deserve.

I had mixed with that which is inanimate,
thus forgetting You.
You eventually brought consciousness to me.

You made me understand,
by what actions,
the ultimate objective, the human base,
can be attained.

There was nothing for me to calmly own,
there is no sadhana for that.

But Your grace showered down upon me
and my eyes opened up.
I realised it had been my mistake
to have forgotten You.

A new sun smiles in the eastern sky.

The mist of the mind clears
and hope arises.

In the sweet air,
a grave and sonorous voice resonates:

"Do no longer sleep!
All get up!
Many jobs are left pending in the festival of life!
Remove the obstacles with resolute conviction and firm hope.

I have come to this earth for a limited period only,
Within that period, we are to complete much.

If time passes in lethargy and pleasure,
how the vow can be fruitful?"

He is with us and this He lets us know.

By His blessings,
with heartfelt joy,
we move forward only.

There is no looking back.
Let us sing His songs
forgetting all shyness and fear.

Whatever is bestowed upon us,
we keep with us as means for the journey
on the path unto our goal.

On this wintry moonlit night,
I long for You in solitude.

With just a wee bit of Your divine grace
my desire can be fulfilled.

Neither have I the energy nor the strength,
nor any claim or merit
to deserve You.
And therefore, I openly ask for Your grace.

O ocean of mercy,
You fixed the path.
In it, You bestowed bondage and liberation.

Under Your shelter,
with the power of Your mantra,
I will be moving on Your path.

How much is there in the hands of human beings?
The universe moves by Your mercy only.
Whoever gets that wee bit of grace,
attains the whole world.

Due to the snow of winter,
the lotus bud does no longer bloom.
Neither does it get any honey from the bees.

Come and bring spring,
flying high Your flag with full might.
Fly it high into the sky,
into the soft moonlight, fragrant with sandal.

You know the sincere longing of my heart.
You bring rhythm to my core.
Beyond that rhythm, limits merge into the Cosmic.

Call me during both pain and pleasure.

Irrespective of whatever good or bad may happen,
keep your mind coated with softness.

If due to the scorching sun,
you are no longer able to bear the heat,
in the shade of rhythmic thoughts,
keep yourself sheltered under my soft cover.
/ softly look at me.

During the intense blizzard of winter,
when the flowers of love whither away,
when there is no more vivacity of life,
keep looking at me.

my mind longs to find You close.

How far away from me You exist,
I do not know.
Yet, some feeling is there.

Different people speak differently.
The scriptures go in different directions.
I float in tears,
not understanding what the proper way is.

Your grace is what I rely on.
You know that I am helpless.

For You, my eyes shower tears
and my days pass by calling You.

You know that I love You.
I am but a meagre atom.
The pain of the unit being is also the pain of the Cosmic.
Do not You understand this?

Please do as per Your desire, O beloved,
only please keep me with You.
The pain and grief of my heart
cannot be appeased and covered up
by the mere jugglery of words.

Under the longitude of time

Still, I consider You mine only.
I dress myself as per Your wish
and dance to Your form and colour.

Why did You go away?

In the sapling of grass
and in the mirror of my mind,
You left a mark of colourful hope.

You did not desire anything.
Neither did You give any orders.

You just told:

“Keep doing your work
and today, leaves aside all pessimism.

I am with You.
I am there at all times.
I think of your welfare morning and evening.

Know who is My dear.
Attaining Me, is not audacity.”

our secret meeting will take place in the recess of mind.
Nobody will come to know,

nobody will see
and nobody will understand it there.

Come in floral adornment,

during a moonlit night,
with the moon illuminating my sweet garden.

Whatever little I know of You
cannot be expressed by thought or language.
You are beyond thought or language.
That is why, please come secretly.

dance with boundless joy amidst rhythm and beats.

In whatever I have obtained,

that for which the mind wanders about even today,
is all situated within You,

It is possible to know and realise You
by the effulgence of Your divine love only.

To realise You,
worldly knowledge and intellect are of no use,
for everything happens by Your grace.

Though human beings know much,
their knowledge is limited.
In a limited frame,
their intelligence is likewise limited.

You are eternal.
Everything of Yours is unlimited
and vibrates with Your effulgence.

Why then do human beings become egotistic
and, forgetting reality,
brag about their greatness,
using haughty, high sounding talks
to cover up
their own ignorance, hypocrisy and foolishness?

By Your mercy,
You awaken consciousness in them too.

then there is no harm
but please at least come close.

If You do not like to sit in my little hut,
then at least just step inside and smile softly.

O Lord,
everyone longs for You in their heart.
And modestly, I do too.
If You do not wish to listen to my prayer
then just come close
and tell me this much:
'I do not love you even a pinch.'

I shall keep singing Your song,
with my heart absorbed in You,
ever meditating on You.
And You won't be able to tell me this:
that I have not wanted to sit for Your meditation.

You show the path of effulgence to all.

By mere virtue of intellect and superficial knowledge,
You cannot be realised.

When I feel that I may have understood You,
I realise then and there that I am in the dark.

When I surrender my everything unto You,
then only do I feel that You reside in my mind.

I call You desperately during nights of suffering
burning with the fire of worries, repentance and afflictions of the heart.

Amidst all these sufferings,
with a crying heart,
I call You desperately.

And I then feel that,
in the core of my heart,
You secretly reside.

In the evening sky,
amidst the soft breeze,
who is that You,
who came into my mind?

I could not recognise You,
nor know or understand,
the reason behind it.

Confining myself to my own self,
I had forgotten You,
hiding my all defects.

But I saw,
in the mirror of Your nail,
that You know all events of my life.

I know now that nothing can be hidden from You,
that all secret thoughts enter Your ears.

Within and without everyone,
You remain in a sweet mental garden.

When in the distant past did You come?
I have forgotten the day and time.

Into which depth did it all sink down?
I keep of it the load of memory only.

The record of that past
is not written in history.
Neither does it appear as a character’s shade,
nor would a line on a page indicate it.
That past survives within my mind,
as my tears soak the garland of love.

That past will never return.
That combination full of flowers of love
will not come back.

Only You exist,
kissing the sky and earth.

And that is why
I express my salutations to You,
hundreds and hundreds of times.

Beyond the insurmountable ocean of time,
You remain awake.

By the force of what sort of auspicious Mantra,
was cimmerian darkness dispelled!

What did not exist
came into existence, vibrant with life.

Into dances and songs
You poured unbound energy.
Into silence,
You poured speech.
Into inert matter,
consciousness.

Into everything,
You infused progress and prosperity.
With pleasure and joy,
the earth became filled.

By Your limitless compassion,
and immeasurable affection,
You have tied all with the rope of love.

Come silently and secretly into my home
and break my deep slumber.

If, forgetting work,
I doze off, lying flat fast asleep,
with a loud voice and call,
wake me up!

Over the bakul flowers spreads a forest path.
The rising sun (Parama Purusa) smiles and tells me:

“I am there with you,
within and without the limitations of time.
Keep this assurance always with you in your mind.

Due to raindrops,
one corner of the sky is rainbow coloured
and weaves a charming web.

Yet, this is not the truth.
The sun only is reality.
To this eternal fact, listen.”

Forgetting You under the spell of delusion,
I had spent my time on earth.

Due to some enchanting call,
I could not listen to my well wisher.

When darkness had descended onto my life
and I had lost faith in everyone,
I then started asking You
to come and save me from that situation.

Though I did not attain the requisite awareness in time,
I know that You are for all.

Kindly pull me unto You
and make me Your own.
Stay with me during pain and pleasure.

When You came,
the lane on the path of Your arrival
was covered with bakul flowers.

Amidst intoxicating fragrance
a flow of songs emerged.

That lane still remains.
But the flower petals have now mixed with dust.
All fragrance has disappeared.
And what was once there has been forgotten.

The bakul tree still survives.
It weeps,
carrying within the history of that event.
On the tear filled lane
are heard songs of solitude.

You are the soothing sandal on intense burns.
All my desires are gratified in You.

After the inertial fog of winter,
You bring the smiling spring, jingling with ankle bells.
You fill my mind with flowers, fruits and juices.

You are beyond comparison.

I searched for You in the forest
and on the mountain peak.
Evening comes and my days pass by.

You did not respond nor did You listen to my feelings.
I cannot understand what sort of heart You have.

I searched for You in flowers, in nectar
and in every pollen of grain.
I could not find You,
nor did You appear to me.
Please tell me where You are.

How many places of pilgrimages have I visited?
How many rivers and oceans have I taken holy dips in,
searching You?

In none of these places could I find peace of mind.
My thirsty heart keeps shedding tears.

Finally I understood and found You within my mind.
In a small corner of my mind
I have seen the spark of Your divine light.

It is through the pure mind that Your effulgence shines.

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

In the forest and on the mountain peak
I have searched and searched for You.

The day passes by and evening darkens.
Yet, You did not respond
nor did You listen to my call.

The burden of my heart is not removed.
(How is Your heart? I cannot understand it.)

I searched for You in flowers and in nectar.
In every particle of pollen I sought You.
I did not find You anywhere
nor could I catch hold of You.
You did not come and tell me where You were.

I wandered through different places of pilgrimage.
How many are lakes, rivers and seas
in which I did not bathe?

With no ritual of immersing my body in water
could I find peace of mind.

My heart still remains unquenched
and my eyes pour out tears.

At last I realised and attained You in my mind.
I saw the sparks of Your light
in the recess of my mind.

You can be realised only within the mind.
In a pure heart only does Your effulgence shine forth.

We were introduced to one another
on the beach of golden sand
where series of waves
dance resonantly over the ocean.

I was sitting on the sandy shore,
unmindfully,
passing time and counting the stars.
I could have never imagined
that I would find You.

You came silently and suddenly,
and won my mind and heart.
Coming close,
You whispered into my ears,
“I am with you at all times”.

of Your experiences,
of the festivities of life,
filled with flowers and fruits.

O dearest one,
at all times,
You exist as the playful bliss in all the minds of all.
You dance with overwhelming love

in everyone's inside and outside.

I have not seen You,
or known You.
How I still love You,
is beyond my understanding.
Neither did I ever think about why I have loved You.

I only want that wee bit of Your grace,
during both my good and my bad times.

Taking Your name and singing Your song,
I move on, on this worldly path,

I love You.
With Your name,
I laugh and cry.

To do Your work,

to do whatever You intend me to do.

The commentaries on scriptures, philosophy and science
do not attain You.

Everything happens according to Your desire.
Everything happens due to Your mercy.

Your time does not come.

Arranging a seat for You has become useless,

The tray has been filled with charming tunes.

All the sweetness of my mind I have poured out.

My mind won't be satisfied by anything else.
With Your attractive force, pull me unto You.

The thousands of aspirations that were inside my mind
have combined and become the same colour.

Losing their individuality,
and meditating on You,
O Dearest,
they have merged into one.

Amidst inanimate objects,
You are the sole consciousness.
Amidst innumerable molecules,
You are the enchanting mind.
All coming and going is but to satisfy You.
It is unto You that I move with love.

By satisfying You, my mind found fulfilment.
You have loved all.

Heavenly effulgence has descended.
The earth has attained realisation of life.
By Your touch language emerged,
with new illumination and new melody.

Your chariot moves through the seven colours,
swinging the world with rhythms and beats,
taking all along,
within and beyond the periphery of time,
within and beyond thought.

Do You ever listen to what I sing for You,
to the events of my heart and mind?

Whatever feelings arise in waves,
attain form as language.
From the core of my being,
all longing emerges.

The winter jasmine flower shivers,
brazen faced and with shyness,
due to the events that I speak out, opening my mouth.
Does it reach Your ears at all,

this hidden history of mine?

I have longed for You throughout my life,
and will do so even after death.
For You,
my tears flow,
silencing all my talkativeness.
/
as all my talkativeness becomes dumb.

I know You
and I understand in the core of my heart that
“You are mine and I am Yours”.

Having forgotten You,
I was floating about shorelessly.
I fully accept my blunder and fault.

Can milk be without whiteness?
Can festivity be with afflictions and mourning?

The world is Yours
and You are everyone's essence of essences.
All aspire for Your grace.

You pervade water, land and Cosmos.
With love, beauty and colour,
You fill the earth.

Following You, longing for You,
all dance, surrounding Your feet.

The messenger from heaven came and told,
“I have come.
Having seen sorrow and understood pain,
I came rushing along.”

He adds,
”Why human beings get involved in mutual fighting
I do not know.

Whatever natural wealth there is,
is for all.
I have given as per the requirements,
in a measured way.

O human beings,
remember you all are for all
and all belong to you.

Your existence, life and death
is for the progress and need of all.
O devotees,
know that you belong to only one family of human beings.”

You secretly came into my mind,
O Lord,
bestowing Your grace,
though I had neither skill, knowledge, intellect nor capability
to satisfy You.

To Whom the world is subservient,
to Him there is not dearth of place.
This is Your grace only.
I am full of gratitude to You.

Prayer and solicitation do not satisfy the mind.
You are the fathomless and vast consciousness.
I wonder how and why You love me.

What is this divine play
that You conduct throughout the bustling universe
and entertain in Your mind?

Somewhere You destroy,
elsewhere You create.
You pull a person
to withdraw him/her back into Your mind.

There is no beginning of this creation.
Neither there is any end to it.

O Eternal One.
From the droplets of water to the great ocean,
You intoxicate all in a cosmic dance.

You make all understand
that attaining You with logic and reasoning,
no matter how much effort is put into it,
is beyond capacity.

O Beloved, O Beloved!
When You will come, I do not know.

When I think that You have forgotten me,
You come and tell me “I have not forgotten you”.

I search for You,
in the sky, in the air, in the stream
but I fail to see You anywhere.
And due to hopelessness,
tears roll down my eyes.

You remain hidden within my mind itself
and secretly observe.
When I talk to You,
You remain dumb.
And when I remain dumb,
You call me.

Though I call You,
You do not respond, O Lord.
Keep in mind that we call it a mistake.

You make him/her cry and weep.

Why do You extinguish light by darkness?
Why do not You listen to the agony of a desperate one?

When my mind becomes inactive in the dark house,

I want You close to me,

If You love me,
step forward,

You are the most ancient of all times.
You are eternal and ever new.

You came onto my mental lotus.
Why, I do not know.

I had no merit.
I had only ignorance and a poor outlook.

I could see within my mind,
Your coming and going,
as You removed the dark curtain.

You told me,
"Look at me.
Perform my sadhana."

I have today forgotten the date,
but kept Your words stitched tightly to my mind.

Day and night,
during light or darkness,
they provide me with inspiration.

I think of You
and call You with all my heart.
But tell me with what tunes and wordings
I ought to do it?

Having mistakenly forgotten You,
I had moved on the wrong path,
oblivious of my real self.

There is no end to You,
not even at the furthest point in the distant sky.

I am unable to find Your end,
for You vibrate within and beyond
the periphery of thought.

To Your grace,
there is no alternative.
And that is why
all beg for Your mercy.

Other than You,
there is no existence,
for You are the brilliance in every lamp.

I did not recognise You
nor did I call You,
yet You came and won my mind and life.

I did not know You would come without being called.
I knew only that calling You, You would not come.

O One who is ever new,
You reside within the mind itself.
You are the climax of astonishment in this great world.

You know how to love,
but do not know how to hate.
You never consider anyone wretched.

To You I express my salutations time and again.

And therefore, I sing of Your glory.

You filled nothingness with everything that exists.
You filled total silence with resonant sound.

The cimmerian darkness ended.

without speaking.
What is this coming and going of Yours?

Whatever You had brought with You,
You left it all behind.
You did not even take
that which You had told You would take.

Carrying with me flowers,
I cry today.
I have broken and thrown away
my self-threaded garland.

My offerings of songs however,
I am unable to discard.
In them are contained experiences full of feelings.

Sweetness flows in the flow of tears.
Greenness and freshness have wither in the desert heat.

A mental garland of pearls is being kept threaded.
I shall preserve it within my mind.

When You were alone,
when nobody had yet come onto this earth,
none was there in front of You,
looking at whom something could have been told.

There was neither sky nor air.
There was neither sadhana nor spiritual attainment.
In the silence of total detachment,

where had You been staying?

To remove the inconvenience of remaining in solitude,
You became many from One,

and ever since,
You dance on restlessly.

Whatever anyone thinks in his or her mind,
You hear it all.

No one can hide anything from You
neither in darkness nor in light.
Unbeknown, everything enters Your ears.

The sounds that are emitted from the sky,
be they soft or vibrant,
unheard by the grass even,
all come floating to Your ears.
You indiscriminately listen to it all.

The brutal and thunderous cruel voice,
the heartfelt expression of the devotee,
You simultaneously listen to,
through both Your ears,
each moment,
each second.

I had never thought about others.
I had only thought about myself.

Even after having come in contact with Your world,
I had kept You away.

You provided water,
sunlight, shade, and the nectar of life.
Though You gave everything,
without ever wanting anything in return,
I had forgotten You.

You showed the way to attain You.
You taught the song that breaks inertia.
By Your pull,
I obtain momentum
with which I move towards You.

O Embodiment of Consciousness,
You arrived this morning,
alighting from the chariot of colourful light.

I could not recognise You,
and neither did You introduce Yourself.

You were hiding within my mind,
embedded within my existence.
Looking for You within my mind,
I recognised You as the embodiment of mind itself.

In the arena of dreams,
on a moonlit night,
I floated in Your stream.
And in that stream,
You appeared to my eyes.
O Embodiment of Effulgence.

Casting aside darkness,
You entered the pilgrim place of light

You removed from the mind,
its sombre frightfulness.

You filled the world with crimson colour,
letting nectar flow through dances and songs.
Whatever could be imagined,
and whatever could not be imagined,
You both fulfilled.

The anxiety in the minds of human beings,
the fear of losing everything,
with the light of lightning,
You momentarily and joyfully removed.

The creatures of night bring darkness.
You bring light.

You have removed
the dark clouds that had been covering the moon.

Whatever the increase in the load of sin,
that covers sweetness,
by pouring forth effulgence,
You removed all burden
and washed away blackness.

And that is why all want You,
and within You, attain everything.
You exist, hence all exist.
You came of Your own accord rushing forth.

The new has come,
the old has gone.
This new is my Eternally New One.

He is with me day and night.
He is with me,
fulfilling my life.

Only perishable ones become old.
For the Eternally New there exists no end whatsoever.
There is no coming and going for Him at any time.

He remains new always.

This new is within my mind.
Searching Him in the outer world
days pass by in vain.
Wandering about to far off places of pilgrimage
is but a waste of time.

You have obtained victory over heaven.

You are the ultimate shelter of all living beings,
and make those under Your shelter free from fear.

There is no comparison to You in the universe.
Neither is there any comparable example in heaven or earth.
Your glory is beyond everything,

O Embodiment of Effulgence,
Your light touches all.

Please provide me shelter at Your feet.
Wash away and wipe off my dirt and sins.
Know that You are my most beloved.
Your mercy is my only merit.

light has removed darkness.
The drowsiness of inertia has cast off its external skin.
All the three worlds have been enchanted.

Do not forget me,

this is my only request.
Hundreds and hundreds of salutations
I offer at Your feet,
single-mindedly, again and again.

Into the floral garden,
unmindfully,
an angel has come.

Searching honey in the petals,
it has roamed about the whole day.

Though petals are there, there is no honey.
Though the sky is there, there is no moon.
The petals want their honey in them.
The honey says 'my petals are good'.

This mutual introducing one another of petals and angel
is not of today.

It is of time immemorial.
One loves the other.
And thus,
at the flowers' pull,
the angel has come.

and call them.

You listen to the cries
of those who are lost
and show them the path.

Those under the sky,
are all within Your mind.
To all their lamentation and laughter,

Both those who have forgotten You
as well as those who continuously call You,
You dissolve
in the stream of Your love.

O Lord,
in Your well decorated world,
You have carefully provided a place for me too.
You have given everything.
You never wanted anything.
Yet, I had remained in delusion.

In an isolated corner of Your Cosmic Mind,
my unit mind causes vibration.
With the sweet resonance of that vibration,
the lotus of love opens His / Her eyes.

O King of my mind.

Crushing the selfish mind below my feet,
I shall now care for all with love.
In the happiness of all, lies my happiness.
This fact I shall today consider.

By Your touch,

I will adorn myself the way You adorn me.

Will you give me the account thereof?

What have you sold and purchased
and what is left over?

From sunrise to sunset,

you have been on this earth.
You obtained many chances
and performed many inhalations and exhalations.
Now, night is going to fall.
Now, give me the account of your actions.

In the dawn of your life,
you passed time playing,
then, reading various books;
and later, you were engaged in earning your money.

This way, your whole life passed by,
without ever caring about paramartha.
And now in your old age,
you are wasting your time counting the stars.
Now, tell me, what is in your mind?

Darkness has disappeared and light has been scattered,
now is the time to move forward only.

The creatures of darkness have become lifeless and fearful.
In this quiet atmosphere, let us sing songs of love.

Do not waste time looking backwards.
Thinking about past events is of no use.
Let us move ahead wholeheartedly,
forgetting desires and achievements.

The day passes in the hope of light.
Let us all move on with love.
Let us not sit and waste time.
Let us smile and row the boat towards that cherished goal.

O ever great one,
O sun,
come into my mental canopy!

You do not come into fold where there is ego.
You cannot be bound by a broken silk thread.
You have kept the earth tied.
You appear in deep meditation.

It is impractical to explain You through intellect.
Neither is it possible to describe You via the heights of learning.
The delusion of language pulverises in the attempt.
Therefore, come, O Lord, into my hearing and meditation.

O Dearest,
do not remain in a far and unknown place,
I want You close.

Sit on the throne of effulgence,
so that I may place a mental crown on Your head.

Remove my inertia,
and all impurities based on selfishness.
Wash off the dirt of meanness.

O eternal hope,
sweet rhythmic love!
By attaining You,
let my coming on this earth be meaningful and fruitful.
Your song, I shall sing full-heartedly.

During this postautumnal, prewinter period,
the message of spring came into my floral garden.

With the humming of bees,
honey was created.

On the trees,
wet with dewdrops,
new leaves started swinging.

The peacock of mind,
spreading its tail,
got engaged in dance.

On the dry branch,
buds appeared,
and the yellow branches became green.

The drowsy sandal breeze
started singing new tunes.

Come in the soft and cool breeze,
with the humming sound of the bee of my mind.

Come, opening the door of my house,
with sweetness-filled, smiling eyes.

I am sitting here, waiting for You.
My days pass by counting moments.
The dark, intense nights
fill my sleep with hopelessness and pain.

You told me that it is difficult for You
to keep those who love You, away from You.
Now, tell me whether
during my sleep, dream and in my awakened state,
I love You or not.

You came at the end of the night,
removing my entire darkness.

Due to separation, my heart had been hopeless.
With Your soft hands, You broke my slumber.

I had not imagined
that You would come and keep me in Your mind.
You are vast, I am meagre.
How would the great think about me?

My days were passing in the hope of attainment.
Yet, my dark night passed in hopelessness.
With Your arrival at the end of the night,
You fulfilled my heart.
I then understood, that this was but Your grace.

The golden lotus (once) bloomed on some blue lake.
The ruby gem of hope shone in everyone's core.

In the morning, that lotus used to swing in the soft breeze.
At noon, it basked in the rays of the sun.

In the evening, the evening star had many things to say to it.

The human mind, engulfed with thoughts of killing,
could not tolerate such smiling beauty.
With a saw, on the lotus stem's soft body,
it went on injuring it.
Today, that lotus is no longer found on this earth.

You came and,
after providing a heartfelt touch,
went away.

I was in sleep,
why did You not break my slumber?

My life passed by in drowsiness, devoid of rhythm.
During my deep sleep,
I attained Your touch.
That touch was felt throughout my body.

I understand that only You are mine,
that nobody else is my own.
All forget me, but You never ever forget.

Let human beings do everything for the sake of other human beings,
and let them also remember

that animals and birds are not distant from them,
and that the trees also want to survive.

Losing their way in darkness,
why do humans cry aloud and perish?
Let our hopes,
our love,
draw everyone close to one another.

Those who are starving and uneducated,
with burnt foreheads from fiery heat,
I will take them all and give them shelter.
I will create a heaven on earth.

Today, in the moist breeze,
in momentary shyness,
my mind longs for Him only.

Eyes can listen (and be closed/turn away),
but the mind listens not.
It turns unto Him again and again.

Whenever and however much I am determined
not to think of Him anymore,
I find He possesses my mind more and more.

Forgetting Him,
I cannot survive.
What a dilemma!

If this be the condition of anyone,
timely pull Him close.
I was mistaken in keeping Him afar.
Now, I find there is no way out.

Why didn't You tell me in advance
that You would not come?
What harm is there in doing so?

In the forest, by the path of bakul trees,
I uselessly wasted my time.

I thought I would attain You closer,
and hence kept the garland of bakul flowers ready for You.
My mind remained full of honey.

Yet, all this proved useless.

After giving Your words,
why did You not keep them?
Why did You not understand my restlessness?

If You had understood the happenings in the heart of the beloved,
that would have been better.

Below this bakul tree,
You came, forgetting the path.
At that time,
all alone,
I had been threading a garland
from dropped flowers.

When I inquired about Your introducing Yourself,
You told:
”Time has not yet come.
At the suitable time
I shall definitely do that.
I meanwhile remain as your mental lotus”.

With a soft smile You further told me:
”Are you not able to recognise me?
I remain ever awake within each atom and molecule of existence,
within and beyond the periphery of time.”

You have filled trees and creepers
with fruits and flowers.
I pick and lift those fruits and flowers.
You have given me with both Your hands.
I continue taking.
And still, You continue giving.

You have given me knowledge, intellect and implements
to move along the path.

Enriched with Your property,
I have only ignored You.
Yet, You keep watching that, smiling softly.

Whatever I have seen or heard,

With this limited knowledge,
it is not possible to hold that BHAGAVÁN or GOD.

That vibration comes,
rushing down the distant sky.

You are the stars in the sky.

Looking for You,
I went on pilgrimage.
Many vows, penances and holy baths have I performed.
But I did not see You anywhere.

Not even flashes of You did I get.
You see it all and smile.

The messenger from heaven came down,
and secretly whispered into my ears:
"That touchstone will only come
when you look within your mind itself."

Different people talk differently.
Some people vainly assess with logic and reasoning.
Some people accept philosophy and science.

But to them You do not appear, O Lord.

I do not have the asset of knowledge,
I know only that You are the essence.
And only when Your wee bit of grace shall shower,
will I attain You, O Friend.

Because of my past ignorance,
I had searched for You in various places of pilgrimage,
and in difficultly accessible mountains and caves.

But I could not get satisfaction as I did not find You anywhere.
I was left with the tiredness of frustration.

I did not understand
that You are very close and intimate to one and all,
that You are nearer than one's own's self.

I was searching for You (in isolation).
This was my blunder.
My own ones would stay near and wipe off my tears of pain.
They would share their joy by bringing light that would remove darkness.

By Your grace, now awareness has come,
my mistake is rectified.
I realise that You reside within my mind.

The radiance of new light spread into all directions.
Why hide at this time?

The sky and air look at You.
The mind is unable to understand Your divine game.
By Your light, the flowers bloom,
and the sky gets coloured.
The beauty marks on the forehead
turn all dreams colourful.

O Beloved,
appear with charming adornment,
so that in my mind,
the strings of Your viina may play.
Dancing always to Your tune and rhythm,
the life and death of everyone thus revolves.

Carrying with Him the lamp of life,
who has come to this earth?
I am unable to forget You.

Your smiling beauty lies scattered in each rhythm.

You fill everyone with affection.
You come in the vibrating stream of melody.
You stay in the depth of mind,
as embodiment of glory.

In which past did You come,
filling up the pot of songs with love?
You stirred the sphere of abstract thoughts,
hiding Yourself within this world.

O ocean of grace,
having forgotten You,
I floated away shorelessly.
Now bestow Your mercy upon me.

My days passed in vain without proper action
as I had forgotten Your gift to me.
You sent me onto this earth to do work,
to accomplish Your aim,
to provide beauty and colour to Your world,
to bring joy into the life of all beings.

Still some time is left in my hand.
If You shower a wee bit of Your grace upon me,
then, what cannot happen?
Everything is possible.
My only prayer is that You grant Your Varabhaya Mudra,
so that, with that strength, I shall be able to execute Your task,
singing Your song and spreading Your glory.

How much have I been calling You!
You did not listen.
You did not come.

I have heard that You listen to the feelings of the heart,
yet, You did not understand my mind.

I do not know whether You could hear or not
or whether You did not want to reply.
This may be Your divine play.
My call enters Your ears
but does not enter Your inner core.
How painful this is for me!

Please tell me who else except You is mine?
This is why I open my heart to You.

In the blue sky melodies keep floating
with rhythm and beats,
unto a far and unknown place.

There is no end to it, ever.
Neither is there obstructing pause.

The melody that arose within the unit mind,
the sound that found expression in the voice of the world,
smoothly move into the great sky without dilemma whatsoever.

That song of mine that arose in the distant past,
that immortal song,
dances on in the stream of time.

It is present even today with its tunes and meters,
in the nectarial flow of the infinite.

Please fulfil this desire of mine.

When darkness had come
You sounded Your ankle bell
and light came.

When the dark clouds had covered the white ones in the sky,
there blew a gust of wind

and light came.

Penance had been going on without recess,
for hundreds of ages throughout innumerable nights.
When its final oblation concluded,

You came and showered nectar.

The hopes that had been kept suppressed
within the core of the heart,
the language that had never expressed itself in beautiful adornment,
the days that had not been utilised in proper activity,
You filled it all with fruits, flowers and honey.

For You,
throughout life,
I have been singing Your song.

In that song my love lies embedded
and my memoirs are threaded.

During times of heat and shade,
the play of joy and sorrows goes on.

By that game,
by Your divine play,
I remain enchanted,
O eternal companion!

I want neither name, fame, respect nor boon.
I only want to sing Your song day and night,
ever moving unto You.

You snatched away my mind
and made me leave my home.
Tell me what else You want.

I have given my all,
nothing is left with me.
Still, why do You not come?

For You, I have kept my garland threaded.
The bouquet of flowers lies in my hands.
I have continued calling You day and night.
Are You not in a position to listen?

I hear Your name on paths and shores
but in fact have never heard of where You reside.
Had I realised this earlier,
I would have brought You onto my own path.

show the path to those who have lost it.
Contemplating You,

awaken the world.
Make me Your instrument,
Your machine.
that I may ideate upon You only
and continue doing Your work with my own hands.

much have I cried,
yet, You did not come close to me.

I have told about myself,
I have listened to agonies,
and in this process,
night turned into morning.

I am left with only one agony:
Though You are mine,
I am unable to touch You.
How far, and beyond which ocean, do You remain from me?
How can I tie You with the thread of love?

Do not create delusion anymore,
O Lord.
How can I ever struggle with You?
I just love, laugh and cry for You.
In Your ideation, I am fully absorbed.

Come all,
to this festival of light.
With the light of intuition,
I am awakening the whole world.
Let us jointly work together in this great fight.

Nobody is ever distant nor disowned.
In the absence of intuition,
the near ones are considered far.

Human beings do not know their real self.
I have therefore organised this festival.
I shall not stay behind, nor look back.
I shall not allow anyone to remain behind either.

This endeavour of mine is by taking all together,
so that the concentrated, combined light,
may destroy all agonies.

I don't know whether You hear it or not.
But what can I do,
but to continue to understand their restlessness?

The light falls on the earth,
yet, it does not enter the mind.
O Lord,
by showering Your grace,
kindle light within the mind.
This is my only prayer,
O God.

You have created the cosmos with the intention of welfare.
Under Your shelter,

grant peace to all.
Why this mutual fighting,
this frittering away?
Pour out the message of immortality.

From beyond the dark ocean,
who is that You, who has come,
filling the earth with the flow of effulgence?

I do not know or recognise You.
And yet, You have captured my mind.
You remain ever engrossed in dance,
assuming multitudes of forms.
In the vibration of life, You overflow.

How can I recognise You, but by the shower of Your grace?
You stay as singular entity in innumerable bases and pabula.
Alone, You show the path to all.

There is no end to descriptions of You.
You keep no limits.

You did not keep Your words.

In the hope of Your arrival, my days pass by.
The evening intensifies in my broken heart,
whenever I look into myself.

Everything is there, but alas,
Your attainment did not materialise.

I shall keep holding on to Your path.
I shall ever keep Your name in my mouth.
I shall think about You only.
Under no circumstance, shall I leave You.

Which unknown bosom did you originate from?
What sort of endlessness are you drifting towards?

You are the replica of Cosmic Consciousness that pervades the world.
Tell me what you want.

For ages and ages you have remained oblivious of your own true self,
seeking what is precious externally only.

You have never tried to look within.
Everything is ever hidden within you,
hence look within.

The Divine Entity, who is your shelter, is shelter to all too.
He knows your past and present,

and even the future is located within Him.
Yet forgetting this truth, what are you looking at?

Invoking Your name and singing Your song,
I have set adrift the boat of melody.

Springing forth from the source of love,
it has been seeking Him throughout life.

Nobody is ever alone.
This melody of mine is utterly absorbed in You.
By Your pull, and unto You,
it floats through the sky.

No retarding force or mood binds me.
All coming and going revolves around only One.
There exists permanent bondage with only One.
And, as liberating mantra, I am to remember only One.

Whatever known or unknown exists,
it is all located within You.

A fairy from beyond the ocean has coloured my life.
Along waves after waves, It comes floating.

And along with It, songs float.

When He has called me, that date, I do not know.
I move towards Him without heeding to any obstruction.
I shall move forward, crushing all obstacles,

for He has removed my ego.

I know that He is not distant to anyone.
I have thoroughly become acquainted with Him.
Breaking the stone obstacles,
colouring myself in His colour,
I move forward, singing His victory song.

You came into my mental garden and conquered my mind.

I did not want to be held captive.
I did not want to respond to Your call.
Despite this, You became the King of my mind.

There where the sky touches the far horizon,
the smile of the moon meets, adjoining.
At that terminus of our love,
the fountain of Your effulgence showers out.

I was nothing, and even now I am nobody.
I recognise only that flow of love of Yours.
I have none and nothing except You.
With the tide of Your joy, my mind is filled.

I never thought about giving, not even by mistake.
Today, attaining You,
I understood that within attainment lies offering.

Offering my own “I” feeling,
O Lord, to You, I attained You.
Carrying on Your divine game,
You arouse desires,
only so that all desires be wiped out.

You created the path, provided inspiration,

You gave everything.
You left out nothing.

You are the sadhana of all, in all ages.

Why did You not come?
Evening intensifies, the day ends.

The flowers that had been kept for You have dried up.
The carefully threaded garland lies agonised in the dust.

Since morning there was hope in my mind
that You would come,
that all hopelessness would pass.
My vibrant language has become dumb.
My waiting for You has mingled with the dense fog.

O Dear, do not act like this any longer.
Do not break Your words after giving them.
The hearts that keep on counting moments, waiting for You,
about them, also please do think during Your leisure hours.

How many days have passed,
looking at the path of Your arrival!
How many nights have passed,

He came,
won my mind
and scattered the flow of effulgence in all directions.

He who cannot be imagined,
is exclusively sought for by the mind.

Whatever ill feelings may appear,
whatever inertia may surround me,
stamping all,
my mind shall move forward unto Him,
in each moment.

Singing His songs,
taking His ideation,
in His work,
I shall engage myself.

Dear Lord,
do not stay far away.
Come close,
come into my mind.

I love You more than anyone else,
and I know that You too love me.

During the moonlit nights of winter,
I hope for You,
and look at the sky
with unblinking eyes.

The swans glide with breathless vivacity,
as You smile in the moonlight.

During spring,
the breeze carries a sweet fragrance,
and looks for You in the blue sky.

The physical and psychic worlds jointly announce
that You float in the firmament of mind.

Why did You come,
if You would leave?

This sort of coming we don't call coming.

Did You not feel sorry
for fascinating and charming my mind
for a short period of time only?

So many ages have passed waiting,
the limits of my patience have broken down.
When once You have come to me,
please always stay.
Do not tear the flowers of my hope.

People say You are the ocean of grace,
but does Your behaviour justify it?
Do You forget Your name when coming close to me?
Your honour and my pride
don't permit such duality
to come in between the two of us.

Those who love You,
cry and smile for You only.

Into their ears,
my affairs enter.

It is them who I adore and respect
and ever remember.
Looking for them,
I keep wandering,
with an expectation of perfection.

They are my own people.
For them is my life.
Let the colourful dream materialise
by their loving touch.

Days are passing by,
evening became dark.

The angels of heaven came rushing down, saying:
"Come along to the festival of light!"

I wander from country to country, full of love.
I carry happiness for all.
I bestow the thrill of joy, dance and laughter,
as my days pass by.

I light up the universe with my loving vibration.
I do not differentiate between small or big.
I love all.

I come to this earth, thinking of all,
and I think, seeing all faces.
My mind desires to march forward
to take all with me,
to overcome all hindrances.

With the moist wind and the sound of storms,
You came in the form of thunder.

Whispering into my ears, You told:

“This form of mine do also look at.
I remain ever engrossed in imagination,
creating rhythms as per my choice.

Coming and going,
smiling and desiring,
for everything to function,
I have created rules within my mind.

Amidst the frightening twangs of meteorites,
my dance appears in the cosmos.
I am the King of dance.
I keep on working,
ignoring and overcoming obstructions.”

Please come into each atom of my mind.
Come with form and colour.

I have been searching You,
throughout my life,
wandering from country to country.

I could not find You anywhere,
neither in the distance nor close by.

I did not find You in any holy land,
nor over the mountain peak,
and neither when crying out in solitude.

Looking within, I realise You exist in my mind,
and observe You blooming flowers in it.

Into the recess of my mind,
You smile,
sitting invisibly on the sweet flower of my folded hands.

And on coming close,

O Dearest,
I have forgotten the day and time
when my first search for You started.

I only know that You are my inner most.
No one else exists for me in the world.

I shall continue to wait for very long,
until You tear off this web of illusion.

I shall continue thinking of You with tearful eyes,
every morning and every evening.

In which unknown past,
You created the demarcating line of light,
I do not know.

You made a path,
treading on which,
I move forward,
accepting You as my goal.

I move on untiringly,
keeping my desideratum in front of me.
Overcoming resistances and obstructions,
I constantly pull the distant ones close.

I do not know,
when my journey commenced.
Yet this much I do know:
that this is my sadhana,
my spiritual endeavour.

I do not accept anything other than my ista,
my supreme goal,
as I offer unto Him, all my sweetness.

I keep counting the days.
Many times I have heard words of Your arrival,
yet I have never heard Your footsteps.

Beloved one,
come on the chariot of light,
wiping out all traces of darkness.
I am Yours.
This fact do keep in mind.
Other than You,
I do not want anything, ever!

You are everyone’s own.
You stay with all during pain and pleasure.
Other than You, there is no existence.
Nothing else is there to be known.
Around You only, all survive.

I had wished You would visit me,
even if by mistakenly forgetting the path,
but You never came.

I had no capacity to invite You,
still, I wished You would come,
be it even by negligence.

I had no golden throne,
nor a seat decorated with silken bedsheets.
And neither had I decorated the path with alpana,
hoping You would arrive by mistake.

There is no affluence of wealth in this hut of mine,
nor plentifulness of any kind, to be shown to the world.
But with a mind filled with sweetness,

I had expected You would come,
even if only by making the mistake of forgetting the path.

I did not understand

I did not expect anything from You,

I only sought Your blessing,

You came into my mind in complete form,
with fragrance and incense,
and told that You secretly reside within everything.

by spreading its light over it.

I do not know why do not You come.
Are You not in a position to notice me?
Or did You come without looking at my mind?

I have been searching You in the outside world only,
without ever looking inside my own self.

Is it because of this that You returned,
experiencing the pain of disrespect?

This time I shall look within my mind,
where the glory of the rising sun shines.
I shall decorate You with a new adornment.
With flowers shall I decorate You this spring.

Without me noticing it, spring came into my mind
and decorated my mental garden with flowers.

In the dry and torn mind of mine, it drew a beautiful sketch.

You brought green leaves.
You filled with floral beauty
the branches that were bereft of flowers
that carried neither leaves nor buds.

The mind in which there was no honey -
the sky in which there was no moon -
in that situation,
the eternal companion came down, forgetting the path,
and carrying with Him all that which had been missing.

I have searched You in the caves of mountains
and in every molecule.
And after a lot of searching,
I am now completely fatigued and tired,
O Lord.
Yet, You have remained far.

Only when I shall attain You with full realisation
in the deep core of my mind and heart,
with my whole existence,
will my longings be quenched,
and my heart satisfied.

I find it difficult to understand
why You hide Yourself and make me cry.
I shall nevertheless continue searching You.
I shall bring You within my reach and attain You.

Why is it impossible to forget You?
When I close my eyes and see darkness,
into that darkness, You pour light.
That light makes me swing and oscillate.

The more I am determined not to see that light,
to not bring You into my mind,
and the more my ego tries to ignore You,
the more it makes me think of You.

I have heard that You reside in the mind,
leaving the mark of Your smile on the mental lotus.
Is this why,

in my inner mental mirror,
a smile appears
amidst the fainted light?

Whatever You give with one hand,
You take again with the other hand.
You make me drift along thought waves of sweetest nectar.

Although You may think secretly,
You have already conquered all.
Your secrecy is not maintained,
for all have merged in Your effulgence.

You listen to the inner stories of everyone.
You understand the agonies of all hearts.
You observe pain and pleasure, both individually and collectively.

Light came, breaking the slumber.

In the flower garden a new colour appeared.
The lotus buds that had been sleeping
are now overflowing with honey.

That colourful invitation has reached each home.
Life’s vibration is felt each moment.
Layer after layer of vivacity
now fills the sky and the air.

No more crying due to darkness.
No bitterness in expression.
The language of love provides inspiration.
This illumination is the Creator’s.

Come! Come into this pilgrim nest of humanity.

I love You with all my heart,
asleep or awake, at all times.

Whatever darkness had been present in the human mind,
it all vanished with Your arrival.

Kindle new love each moment
and let this meeting take place with new ideation.

Breaking their slumber, You have awakened all.
Now vitality pervades, there is no fear.
With a loud voice
I continue calling my human brethren,
to all come under one shelter.

Why did You come,
into my mental casket?

You came secretly,
unseen by all.
It is difficult to understand Your divine play, Your liila.

Your divine play, Your liila, is ever new in beauty and delicacy.
Language fails to express this strange peculiarity of Yours.

I now understand
why have been named Embodiment of liila.
Floating in the ocean of liila,
I am lost in sweetness.
I am unable to think of anything other than You.

There had been much talk earlier on about Your arrival,
yet You did not come.

Why did You not come?

Understanding that I was absorbed in love,
You did not talk.

I have passed my time meditating on You.
My days pass by singing Your name.
I have rushed unto You, concentrating on You,
yet You did not reveal Yourself to me. Why not?

You are the gem in the house of ideation.
The glimpse of Your brilliance is but momentary.
So scatter Yourself about over my dark mind.
Nothing prevents You from doing so.

Today, on this new dawn,
let us forget all old events.

Leaving the worn out slough,
let us sing our song in a new tune.

The crooked and frothy infatuation that gives rise to dogma,
that has kept all suppressed,

break it courageously
with stern hands and firm conviction.

I am creating a garden with new flowers,
filling life with new honey.
By bringing into reality the ever new,
I fill the earth with tender new leaves.

Where did You come from
and why did You go away?
Tell me.

I do not know anything.
You know the entire universe.

My days come and go.
They are free from desires
and make me laugh and cry profusely.

You alone are beyond time, pain and pleasure.
That is why,
at Your feet,
salutations and reverence are offered.

You are the light of all minds.

You know how to love.
You are excellence amongst the best.

Before the universe had been created,
there was neither good nor bad.
You were then alone, as timeless darkness.

Because You so desired,
the earth came filled with beauty, flow and fragrance.
By raising a wave in Your own being,

You created life.

By Your unseen effulgence,

You bring new meetings and separation

Beloved,
how much longer shall I sit,
looking at Your path?
Tell me.

You remain ever busy from morning till evening,
without ever showing Yourself to me.

Your perimeter is of unlimited time
and includes earth, heaven, sky and the oceans.
I am a mere representative of limited time.
Hence, do not forget me.

I am a drop in Your ocean,
in which innumerable waves constantly arise.
Sometimes I exist and sometimes not.
Please do not play such games with me.

You came into the garden of campaka and waited for me.
This was Your causeless grace.

My ego had been hurt
and I had kept my doors bolted.

I am unable to forget the event of that day.
Its memory produces significant feelings in my mind.
The sweet pain of hope and hopelessness

swings to and fro again and again.

That garden of campaka is still there,
but the Deity in its arena of pilgrimage has left.
Due to my basic mistake of producing a wrong thought,
the love went away.

Coming as a surprise,
that sweet spring,
finally began oscillating within.

The aspirations in the mind,
by His inspiration,
attained language.

His abode is not the floral garden.
No one keeps Him bound to a particular place.
The bee searches honey untimely and in vain.

In His mind sweetness abounds,
overflowing with beauty and delicacy.
He who goes there with love,
only he attains Him.

Thinking of You, countless days have passed.
Yet You do not come and appear in my mind,
I know that I have no proper endeavour of sadhana.

I know You love me and understand my pain
and keep my “self” close to You.
But Your love and my realisation
have not yet become one and unified.

Lift me up, shape me according to Your wish,
so that I may recognise You in a still better way.
Except You, no other entity in the universe exists.
Provide this awareness to me.

The sleepless nights have merged in You,
obliterating thoughts and forms.

Many detached meteorites have fallen off.
Many swans spreading their wings have flown away.
Many matchsticks have kindled lights.
My mind no longer wants to look at them.

to merge in You individually and collectively,
and to shower Your nectar upon all.

Your attributes have no comparison.

O Lord beyond time,
O Lord beyond form,
appearing within the limits of time,
You incessantly create forms.

No one is capable of binding You.
No one can influence You by tricks and sleights.

The bondage of love for You is the real sadhana (spiritual practice).
Yet even after knowing this fact,

I forget You under the influence of moha (infatuation or blind attachment).

O Lord beyond the world,
O maintainer of the world,
all the seven strata of existence,
depend upon Your grace.

I only pray for Your kindness
that should I ever forget You,
I may not float about aimlessly.

Covering all bitterness, pain and afflictions with sweetness, it announced:

“I have come,
having heard your call,
and understood your pain.

Whether you accept it or not,
do listen to me.
I love you.

There was once a day when no one existed
and I was all alone.
Then you all came,
became my own
and understood my restlessness.

So come with me.
I shall be overjoyed.
And through neo-humanism,
I shall take you to the heavenly abode.”

Having filled my mind with (the multitudes of) this world,
You do not let Yourself be seen.

I cannot understand this play of Yours.

O vibrant consciousness,
You are the essence of life in the festivity of light!

You rush in all directions through series of waves,
without permitting the disgrace of darkness to attain You.
Through the fragrance of life,

You keep floating with endless effulgence.

Your glory and attributes are beyond my imagination.
The singular entity rushes into hundreds of directions.
O beloved ocean of great intuition,

You have scattered Yourself about endlessly.

The Prajapati (the liberated butterfly),
spreads its wings and flies off.
What for, who knows?

Today, in search of whom, does it wander about in the garden?
It has no other thought:

it always comes in the hope of getting honey,
with a free mind, a soft flow and unmindfully restless.

The colourful butterfly,
bestows a sweet glow to the core of mind.
Life’s movements overflow,
as the ankle bells of its song resound.

From which sky and unto which distant sphere,
do You keep floating?

Who is that voyager, so difficult to attain,
whose song you keep singing?

As internal wave of all oceans,
Your victory drum resonates.
The billowy ocean dances,
as You listen to its core sound.

My acquaintance with You dates back a very long time.
In the stream of events we come together.

Through pain and pleasure,
and smiles and tears,
do break my slumber.

I found You in the secret depths of my mind.
You smile in my mental garden.
Though You are overflowing and restless,
You remain tranquil inside my mind.

O Selfeffulgent entity,
though there is not a tint of ego in You,
You wish to hide.
Who does not know that all the factors,
including the aerial and ethereal factors,
are sheltered within You?

You are my inner most.
Destroy all my sin and guilt,
O beloved!
By Your blessing darkness retreats.
O ocean of effulgence,
You do not heed any obstacle.

The bee tells the bakul flower:
“I won’t come close to you.
the honey in your bosom has dried up.

Whatever was yours has withered away
and is now lying in the dust.
Your glorifying assets are lost.”

The bakul flower says:
“Listen, O bee,
I am not lusty of love.
Come close,
sit near and talk.”

The bee says:
“There is no time.
I shall go in search of other flowers.
Time will be lost in talk.
There is fear of evening approaching.”

Bakul says:
“O Parama Pita (Supreme Father),
Understand my mental agony.
I prostrate at Your feet.
Give me Your shelter.”

Forgetting the way,
You came to my yard.
The deep blue sky was without clouds.
The moonlight was soft.

On the shefali tree,
flowers bloomed.
In the forest of long grass,
oscillations appeared.
The soft sweet breeze was charming with love.

You gently stepped forward,
and opened the bolts of my door.
Removing the bondage of infatuation,
You told:
“You need not fear.”

You came close and loved me.
But then You forgot what You had done.

I did not call You,
nor did I invoke You in sadhana.
Yet, You simply showered Your grace upon me.

Whether I accept it or not,
You call me,
You attract me,
and by discipline,
You rectify me.

O Lord, You are never displeased (virup)
and never turn away (vimukh) from me, crushing my heart.
I know that my life is but Your gift.

I also know and accept that You love me.
Within my mind the feeling oscillates
that externally You are tough and internally soft.

Loving You in the firmament of my mind,
a fountain of nectar secretly and unstoppably flows out.

I had thought of forgetting,
expecting peace by avoiding.
But I observed that,
amidst the resonance of thoughts,
it is impossible to forget.

You exist and I exist,
I am oblivious of everything else.
There is no third entity,
to attract me sweetly.

You reside in the depth of my heart
as voice of my heart.
Come into my mind,
as its object of meditation,
as form to meditate upon.

O charming one,
stealer of mind,
who is that You,
coming today,
crossing the dark ocean?

I do neither recognise nor know You,
yet I know You shine by Your attributes.

Since ages, I have been sitting here expecting You,
witnessing all expressions of light and shade.

Yet You did not come close by any means,
not even as luminous moon.

I sought You by expanding my love,
in the resonating melody of lost days,
kindling the lamp of my life on its base,
in order to hold You,
again and again.

Who is He who came,
bathing me in the fountain flow of effulgence,
carrying the golden crown on His head
and colouring the floral garden?

Looking at Him, I seem to recognise,
this respectable person,
this representative of love.
He comes, scattering the ideas of different colours,
and placing His arrow on the rainbow.

When there was no colour,
where had this beauty been hidden?
Why has the effulgent entity filled life with the torch of colour?

You came into my garden at this untimely moment.
All my flowers have withered.
Their petals have dried up amidst the dust.

Once, in the garden,
there used to be flowers full of colour and sweetness.
At that time You did not come to give Your love.

It is difficult to understand Your divine play.

Will not my flowers bloom again?
Will not new and red colour appear on that which is colourless?
Will not the tree of my life become filled with tender leaves?
Will not You come, bringing with You a colourful heaven?

Why did You love me?
I had neither merit nor knowledge.
What then did You see in me
that made You shower Your grace?

You gave me sweetness of affection
and lifted me unto Your lap,
awakening my intellect.
Knowing I am helpless,
You granted me success and affluence.

You brought me on this earth,
providing me with a human body.
You filled my mind with sweet devotion.
And on top of that,
You infused in me a strong longing for You.

But now, this miserable condition of mine:
that I have forgotten You.

O formless Lord,
into the world of the ocean of forms,
You descended.

With rhythm and melody,
You pulled all close
and made them Your own.

The sky is full of stars
and the breeze blowing sweetly and gently.

By the light wind,
the tall grass swings,
as white wings are spread.

It is not easy to know You.
Only by love can You be understood.
Finding You near,
all eloquence becomes dumb.

With the rhythm of ankle bells,
on smiling days,
the charioteer of time comes as series of light rays.

The unbloomed flower buds eagerly long to attain Him,
and emanate full throat exhalations.

Whenever I think, I go astray.
He who ties the knot of love,
whispers into my ears:
“Listen through songs,
for all smile in the light.”

Where does distance exist?
None is far.
In the ocean of consciousness all mingle.
The acquaintance with the inner consciousness,
takes place within ideation.

Having heard the flute sound,
I thought that Shyama Ray (Lord Krsna) had come today.

I sit and await Him,
on the bank of my mental Yamuna river.

Numerous people came and went.
Many did not want to return.
I came alone and remained alone.
Alas, eternal companion,
You remained distant.

Will not the flow of the Yamuna river reverse?
Will it not fulfil my earnest desire of love?

Besides keeping me away from You,
what else do You think of,
performing the divine play with light and shade?

Even after finding You close,
it is difficult to recognise You.

You smile softly.
You speak with love.
My mind fails to understand.

Whenever I think that I have recognised You,
that I have understood Your mind,
I realise that You have acted delusively
and from both my eyes tears flow out in pain.

I have now forgotten all that which is non essence
and understood that which is essence.
I accept defeat against Your divine play.
Now I only say:
“O pardoner of mistakes,
please shower Your grace upon me.”

In the bright sky,
and the gentle breeze,
my heart incessantly longs for Him.

My restless mind does not obey,
and constantly rushes unto Him.

All the dates have become one,
resonating with His ideation.
All desires and attainments,
all giving and taking,
sing His victory song in unison.

Who is that You who has tied the knot
with a floral thread, yet remaining far?
I cannot stop this ideative sadhana
of that entity which illuminates within and beyond thought.

I want You close within my mind.
It is difficult to remain far.

In all my shy actions,
and when I sit secludedly,
I think of You.

When, in the garden of my heart,
all the petals were unbloomed buds,
You had stayed inside the pollen,
emanating a golden vitality.

O Beloved,
come closer,
honey has been filled in my heart
and flowers are blooming in diverse colours,
to decorate the floral garden.

What a love is this
that You have fixed a path, full of the light of hope?

The mind that was without bridle has lost itself today.

I am just a faint light of a meagre molecule,
moving day and night,
swinging to and fro between hope and despair.
Due to love and the essence of grace,
You provided new vitality to me.

You gave me more than I expected.
You poured nectar into this meagre “I” of mine.
You filled my dark prison with realisation

and gave it the effulgence of love.

O Beloved,
You always keep watch
on each and every atom and molecule.
Nothing ever remains hidden from You,
whatever be the circumstances.

What a difficult duty You have!
Even with a soft heart,
You carry a heavy load:
all samskaras (reactive momenta)
and all tanmatras (fundamental factors)
at every point in time.

When the universe had not yet been created,
displaying dance, style and rainbow colours,
in the flow of temporal change,
You existed also,
detached from all,
unknown and beyond time.

Though You poured light,
I could not see my real self.

O effulgent consciousness,
though You were in light,
I did not want to see You.

I continued seeking on earth
commodities as objects of enjoyment.
But I did not search the entity
for whom enjoyment was meant.
I saw only the action and not the real doer.
Not even did I think of the real doer.

I kept hailing the superiority of inert matter,
looking for totality in it.
Forgetting whatever You had given me,
I never treaded the path of illumination.

The morning sun smiles in the eastern sky.
All darkness has vanished.

By Your grace,
the unattractive darkness of night has been coloured.

The cruel teeth of darkness are no more.
The devilish hunger of crookedness is not there.
The need to sacrifice the self has gone.

All want to dance in the ocean of effulgence.

Misunderstandings between human beings do no longer arise.
The desire to injure or kill animals has vanished,
and so has the urge to cut trees with axes.

The new humanity awakens.

coming without having been invited
through the flow of the fountain of effulgence?

I am enchanted by Your beauty.
Your attributes are beyond description.

Although in this universe You are the singular entity,
You have scattered Your form:

in the form of light,
in the form of a base.
Your glory is beyond reason.

You are above the three gunas,
the binding faculties.
You go on dancing kissing the sky.
O central gem of the world of ideation,
Your light shines beyond the arena of space.

Why did You become apathetic,
turning away?

You are amidst light and within darkness.
You pervade and fill everything.
Yet You do not allow Yourself to be seen by me.

There is no limitation to Your beauty.
There is no comparison to Your attributes.

pardon me,
ignoring all my faults.

O dearest, my very own one!
Your love overwhelms me.
All sweetness unstoppably and essentially rushes on,

to have You merge with me.
O knower of thoughts!
O essence of nectar!

There is no language to measure Your attributes.

You have scattered Yourself
and taken Your abode in the core of hearts.
Whatever is impossible, You are able to accomplish.
You construct homes in diverse colours.

You are the honey within flowers.
You are the soft moon in the blue sky.
I go on calling You.
You listen to the pain and pleasure of the mind.

I am not tired of endless waiting.
But I am sick and tired of my own distortions,

Bend my head down to the dust of Your lotus feet,
O Lord,
and never allow it to rise again.
Raise my entire being aloft
in the eternal glow of Your glory.
In Your unfading effulgence
I come and depart time after time.

Don't throw me far away from You
making me drift along the path
of negative pratisaincara (counter evolution).
But with the gift of Your compassion,
let me move along a positive flow.

Nobody knows,

what I talk within my mind.

I do not see the world.
Looking inside my mind,
I see that You dwell in the black pupil of my eyes.
Even if unable to see far,

I remain engrossed in love.

That love makes my heart restless.
The mental casket overflows with ideas.
That love, that fulfilment,
rushes on,
dancing towards that beacon pole star.

I get lost while searching.
My imagination accepts defeat.

I keep weaving colourful nests,

Moving my hands in the darkness,

Whatever intellect I have,
whatever intuition functions within me,
my sincere desire be that,
all this counting of days may end
and hide in a corner.

when You poured onto the earth Your unlimited effulgence?

There is no history nor smiling memory of it.
Only love is left.

Nobody knows that gift of Yours,
given with sweet rhythm.
You gave everything and took nothing,
O embodiment of consciousness,
Great Creation!

It is impossible to know You.
Even making the effort to know You,
depends on Your grace.
You filled my thoughts,
enchanted my mind
and sang Your immortal song.

With a deep voice, I shall arouse waves.

and give up the hope of attaining You due to frustration?

Do You think that I shall not avail the grand opportunity
of enjoying the flow of Your melody,

which has filled the vast cosmos?
Do You think that I shall not come closer to You?

By taking Your name

and offering the sweetness of the particle
that You have bestowed upon me,
I shall certainly attain You.

O Beloved,
I have forgotten the date
but did not forget You.
I am unable to forget You.

Without having been called,
You came into the depth of my mind.
Why, I do not know.

With Your sudden appearance,
You brought about oscillations,
making me forget my old life.
You brought firmness to the foundation of my life,
that I may struggle against obstacles.

You told me to remain true,
not to entertain deceitfulness,
to move on a straight path with courage.
Crookedness would never win.
Truth comes from sadhana, the real spiritual effort.

You loved me,
but I remained far.
You applied balm on my pain,
but that, I forgot.

When under the burns and grief caused by desert heat,
when under pressure from an affectionless society,
when crying out due to having been injured,
I found consolation in You.

You have been gifting liberally with both Your hands.
I have never given anything in return or in exchange.
(On the contrary,) I tried to break Your law,

as I observed pride in me.

You pour out Your mercy,
ignoring my good or bad qualities.
You intoxicate my mind with the sweetness of affection
and make me bathe in the fountain of love.

I had not understood this and remained far.

You came,
smiling softly
and pouring out heavenly nectar.

But still I never looked at You or communicated with You,
I was oblivious due to infatuation.

I had bolted my doors
and stayed in a corner of my house,
thinking secretly of my own affairs.
I always wanted respect,
on the bank of that dark river.

You went away leaving behind a load of love.
Those flows of love dance again and again.
By the swing of their vibration,
colourful flowers are bound to bloom.

Please do not turn a deaf ear to me,
O Beloved!
Listen instead to tale of my heart.

Please understand my innermost pain
and the restlessness of attaining You.

Through interludes of flute sounds,
Your effulgence calls me.
In that effulgence lies mingled the sweetness of Your love.

You are my ray of hope,
the only basis of all welfare.
Forgetting You, I shall have no base.
And that is why,
I ever bow down my head at Your feet.

In this world,
You have no comparison.
This is why You are my personal Deity,
O incomparable Lord.

I move on the path
by Your illumination and blessing.
I am engrossed in Your song
by the impulse of Your ideation.
By the interplay of ideation and deep exhalation,
all poverty vanishes.

Since that unknown past when You created the universe,
bondage has been present.

Unto all,
with a garland of shining gems,
You bestow affection.

Yet, why can I not see this in practical life?

Calling, yelling and crying,
my days are passing.
How many sleepless nights have passed,
restless and mad with Your thought?
Still, O beloved companion,
You did not come.
Where have You remained hidden?

O nonphysical Purusa (consciousness),
You continue creating the world,
coating all in sweetness with Your mental honey.
By keeping me away,
You find happiness.
I am unable to understand Your divine play.

Playing an unknown melody on the flute,
that is heard all around,
who is that You who came into my mind?

Under my knowledge, You do not come.
And even after coming, You are not revealed.
You broke my drowsiness with quiver.

Initially, I could not think anything.
I could not get even get a hint of You.
Slowly, surrounding me with experiences,
You woke me with oscillations.

That experience has no comparison.
It happened only on account of Your causeless grace.
All reasoning and mundane powers accept defeat,

and fall at Your feet.

With the thread of love
I have threaded it all alone, the whole day.

This bakul flower, with limitless fragrance,
is the essence of my life.
By putting it on around Your neck,
I shall wake You up,
oscillating as we sweetly meet.

By that oscillation, the earth swings each moment,
the sun vibrates,
and by its touch,
all untouchable heat dissolves momentarily.

All are Your own and all are sweet.
Loving all and enchanting all
You keep dancing with innumerable rhythms.

You are the central gem in the play of the universe,
threading all other gems into the thread of love.

I know and understand
that You never chase away anyone.
Attaining You means merging You within one’s core.

Today,
in the yard of my mind,
O Shyama Ray,
You came and stood.

Enchanting me, You told me that You love me.

What I did not imagine, that I saw happening.
Your sweetness filled my mind.
I spoke, crying with impulse, that this was unbelievable.

You told that this mind was Your abode.
In the past also, the essence of love had been residing there.
I could not see You due to my intense ego,

as I had covered myself with the fog of pride.

The lotus and the lily smile overjoyed.

Without looking at who comes and goes,
my mind rushes unto Him only.

Uncountable storms blew with lightning.
Uncountable meteorites revealed many a glimpse of light.
Uncountable comets came waving their tails.

Nothing was there that did not come and go.

Innumerable days and eras passed.
But my heart remained full of honey.
Many bees came and continued humming.
But my honey did not dry up.

You came by Your own attributes
and allowed Yourself to come within the reach my core.
Even though You are formless,

You came into this expressed world and smiled.
In that glow of light, pain and pleasure float.
Even at the level of atoms and molecules
You remain acquainted with all.

You are ever awake emanating a cool and tranquil vibration.
With ever new love, You smile softly.

who else is there to understand my agony?
You have conquered my mind and made me Your own.

Tell me why today a storm blows in my mind?

In the mirror of thoughts,
with rhythm and melody,
sweetness abounds.

For that dearest Lord, whom I love,
I have been waiting for so long,
constantly looking at the path.

Under that impulse,
into the ears of fragrant buds,
the bee whispers.

This storm is an indication of His arrival.
It has made my mind restless.
Taking His ideation,
I sing of His victory,
as times within and beyond merge.

I did not find You in any place of pilgrimage,
nor in mountains and caves.
My days pass by seeking You.

Explaining scriptures and analysing the mind,
speaking of matters of concern to me,
the time passes.

You are the central gem of my mental world.
You are the self-illuminating entity beyond all.

In Your radiance,
in the stream of Your thoughts,
the knowledge of my entire existence lies located.

The work You perform out of love,
that only shall I continue to do to please You.
By Your mercy,
and the flow of Your grace,
I shall ever remain close to You.

I roamed around in the dark house.
I did not listen to the call of light.

My speech had been bound by the bondage
of fame and dishonour,
of repentance and praise.

I did not open my eyes to see the game of colours.
I did not love You and decided to remain in darkness.

You came in the stream of light,
providing a jerk to my blood vessels,
intoxicating my mind with crimson colour,
making me forget my gaps and lapses.

In spring,
into my floral garden,
who is that unknown You who came?

I did not recognise You.
I did not welcome You.
I did not talk to You smilingly.

Your vibration fills the world.
By Your rhythm, all are stirred.
By Your glance, all inertia is instantly destroyed.

In Your love, which cannot be conveyed with words,
there is no purpose of showing off sweetness.
With silent language, glancing sweetly,
You give compassion.

Why do you build your house on quicksand?

Though clearly observing its defects,
why have you not examined the matter more in detail?
The structure is shaking severely

because of its fragile foundation.

Since ages you have been wasting your time
in constructing that castle on quicksand.
You have applied much energy,
investing blood, sweat and your own hard labour to build it.
All along you obtained satisfaction

by imagining that which is bound by the temporary and ephemeral.

After the river breaks its border,
the marshy quicksand will destroy it altogether.
All imaginary colours will float away
and only the non-decaying absolute will remain.

Kindling the lamp in my mind,
who has come on this dark night?

When darkness was all pervading,
I was asleep due to tiredness.

There was no one to understand my pain.
There was no touch of a sympathetic heart.
No one was there on the earth,
to wipe away my tears and love me.

Blow after blow came,
as merciless society kept watching.
During such a night,
with a heart full of love,
You came on a flow of compassion.

Why, I do not know
and am unable to tell.

You are the light in my dark heart.
I shall not remove this brightness.
I shall not extinguish that light.

All my love,
all the hopes of my mind,
all my coming and going,
with rhythms and melodies,
centre around You only.

Where shall I go?
Where am I?
From where have I come?
These are not my questions,
O Lord.
And neither do I want to know the answers.
Knowing You, I shall know all.

That painful song of my lost days,
over and over,
I sing in my mind.

Have You ever listened to my broken viina,
at least for a moment, even if unmindfully?

You are the Great, I am an atom.
You are vibrantly under motion in the divine game,
I am stationary.
I am dust on the path of Your revolution,
do You ever see me at all?

I am meagre but not negligible,
as I carry Your message in my throat.
I constantly ideate upon You in my heart,
during sleep, in dream or while awake.

After having loved me,
where did You hide?
What was my fault?

You poured on me a flow of nectar,
and made flowers bloom in my mind.
With what sort of melody did You intoxicate me,
to give such incomparable experience?

Putting on me a garland of love,
made from shining gems,
You told me that I was Yours,
O sweetest amongst the sweet!

O Lord,
do You find it pleasing to stay away from me,
even now?

Calling You again and again,
my throat is becoming choked.

Why did You send me to the world?
Why did You push me away?
And why did You then forget me?
Can this be considered love?

It is difficult to understand Your divine game.
It brings about thoughts without language.
Sometimes it makes us cry and sometimes it makes us smile,
and fills our hearts with love.

into the world of forms.

It is difficult to forget You.
You dance on vigorously,
breaking my drowsiness
with the sweet sound of Your ankle bell.

You came silently,
and went away silently.
You did not talk.

By looking at my face,
You snatched away my mind,
speaking only with Your eyes.

I think of the event of that day again and again.
That memory brings up flows of tears.
It fills my mind with melody,
and pours softness into it.

That memory shall remain for a long time.
It is present from morning to evening,
emanating the sweetness of nectar.
It breaks the entire net of infatuation,
and, removing all pains,
brings me fulfilment.

You filled my mental lake with the golden lotus.

I could not understand why,
I could not even think of why,
You had showered Your limitless grace upon me.

I used to think of nothing other than myself.
This inertia has now been abandoned.
Providing light to an insignificant entity,
You made me Your own.

I never understood the reality of life.
I never engaged myself in Your work.
I never thought of anything worthwhile, even by mistake.
That I may offer service to all, You made me understand.

You are my own,
O bright love!

is also unknown.

My love with You,
lies sheltered in the deep recess of my core,
unknown to the language of the outside world.

Having been called wholeheartedly,
under the impetus of illumination,
the formless became form.
It took place with rhythm and melody,
through the gaps of mental clouds.

O embodiment of consciousness,
surrounding the whole world,
Your mental firmament shines full of light.
To attain You,
the earth dances,
along the tinkling of love.

O embodiment of consciousness.

You exist as fragrance in flowers
and keep oscillating within rhythms and songs.
You are present as the origin of acceleration in speed

You remain eternally awake,

His particles of love shine.

No one is alien to me.
The whole world,

is filled with my own oneness.

Amidst all,
I see Him,
in the firmament of my heart and mind.

I do not go on pilgrimage looking for Him.
I do not observe rituals such as penance or sacrifice.

Withdrawing my mind, I love Him,
ever aspiring to merge in Him.

My mind could not understand why You went away.

Due to my ego I did not say anything.
I did not utter any word.
I did not express any motion.
I told the matter with both my eyes.

I wanted You still closer,
decorating all my actions with flowers,
that You may come into my innermost recess.

Why didn’t You understand?
Why didn’t You stay?
Why did You go without reason?

Other than You, none is mine.
You are the king of my mind.

At all times I long for You:
amidst thoughts and ideation,
in fulfilling experiences,
in the tune of perfection,
in seclusion.

Which unknown entity keeps calling me?
What soft language is this?

The call comes floating
with sweet pulse and rhythmic hope.

I had hoped that I would attain Him
and be able to do His work.

With His inspiration and grace,
I shall keep moving forward,
forgetting the pains and pleasures of this material world.

In the deep corner of my mind,
hidden from all thoughts,
colouring the garden of my consciousness,
I long for Him.

You poured life into each corner of this earth.

By infusing life,
Your song started drifting with melody.

With the vibration of vivacity the world is frenzied
and cosmic ideation fills the recess of minds.

This ideation attained language that removes all hopelessness.
Everyone's heart is now dancing with tune and melody.

O Supreme Controller,
my whole existence is being churned
by Your symbol and ideation.
O Lord,
no one is useless and meagre.
All float in Your mind.

O distant companion,
come with a smiling face!

Why do You stay afar?
Come into the depth of my core.

Come secretly with silent feet.
Come, blooming flowers in diverse colours.
Come, each moment filling hope into my drowsy dark eyes.

No one is able to know You.
Your depth cannot be measured.
You were in the past.
You forever stay,
quivering within and beyond intuition.

in which world have You been,
O Beloved?

You are not seen.
You do not speak.
You do not understand pain without love.

Waiting for You,
day and night,
my time passes.

I sing my songs with pain,
yet, You remain unrecognised.

I have heard that You love and cry and smile for all.
Why do You not come?

Don’t You know how poor I am?

You cannot be forgotten.
The more I think of forgetting You,
the more I decide to wipe out Your memory,
the more I frenzy.

I float in Your name and song,
in Your love and affection.
I smile with happiness with the hope of attaining You.
I cannot express this feeling.

You reside in the recess of my mind.
You colour the world with hues.
You charm with rhythm and melody.
You vibrate life.

Illuminating my dark heart,
who has come?

With intense ideational sentiment,
to an unknown country,
He took me along with melody.

Your movement bears immortal rhythm.
Your song fills the whole world.
Your effulgence is never destroyed and oscillates the earth.

There is no comparison to Your love.
It is an ever new delirium.
By it, spiritual practice is accomplished highly and overwhelmingly.

You came,
scattering light in my floral garden.

After radiating beauty and awakening love,
where did You go?
Who knows?

Your ways of love are difficult to understand.
Sometimes You appear far and sometimes near.
Both this meagre drop as well as the great ocean
You beautify each moment.

It is not possible to declare
that I have attained You.
Due to frequent loss,
fear persists in my mind.
I listen to Your cosmic victory,
which comes floating through the wind.

Moving forward with head held high,

I shall create a new humanism.

There will be no dilemma or confusion.
Everyone’s hunger will be satiated.
Filling everyone’s life with nectar,
the right of survival shall be recognised and established.

Whose image came floating
onto those dark eyes?

Into that image,
all the effulgence of the horizon has merged.

That image is full of smile.
Therefore I love it.
I think of Him day and night.
He snatched away my mind.

It is His nature to remain hidden.
It is hard to assess or measure Him by intellect.
By love He becomes one’s own.
He remains tranquil as form of this universe.

The honeybee came into the lotus grove.
It came humming, deep into the depth of mind.

It poured its love into the mental pond.

It is hard to recognise that bee,
to know where it came from
and which place it is going to.

It shines in a variety of colours,
full of affection,
with rhythm and melody.

No comparison of that bee is found.
It awakens rhythm in unexpressed language.
That timeless melody
keeps singing its song
in each and every throat.

In the moon and the stars,
in the distant nebula,
in nearby human beings,
in watery eyes,
in everything,
You are present,
dancing with rhythm and beat,
O dearest, most beloved!

Your light shines

You smile in the pollen of flowers.
You love all.
You are my Deity,

with a sweet sound,
You have filled fragrance.

After swimming through the vast ocean of distress,
You poured into hearts the essence of nectar.

With hands coated with affection
You gave everything to me to remove my suffering.
You did not want any offering in exchange.
You remained above all, kissing the sky.
Hence I salute You.

With an immeasurable smile in Your eyes,
and an enchanting flute on Your lips,
You spoke, loving all wholeheartedly.
O Lord,
destroy all darkness in all minds.
No one is as near as You.
Hence, all dance surrounding You.

identifies this poor life.

I do not know whether or not Your time to listen has come.
I shall nevertheless keep the bud of hope blooming,
oscillating like pearly dewdrops.

My sole request be that You listen to me,
to the restless language of that song.
Let our common identity be awakened
by the mutual attraction of love.

In each particle of dust nectar flows.

I did not search You in the mirror of my mind.
You tied everyone with the thread of love.

You are the immeasurably soft embodiment of sweetness,
pouring on the earth Your load of love.

Having remained ignorant in dense crudeness,
I did not call You into my home.
I may forget but You do not forget.
You move me within the range of Your view.

Sitting secludedly with ideative momentum,
today, I think of You again and again.

Holding Your feet,
I pray that You may not go.

I have remained seated on the path,
hoping for Your arrival for many days.
Please do not pluck my buds of hope.

On the tree that was watered and irrigated,
buds, flowers and fruits have now appeared.
Think of them.
Think of their feelings.
Do not allow them to be cast aside.

In colourful mornings and reddish evenings,
each moment of mine passes thinking of You.
Please do not pessimistically reject this feeling of mine.
Let my spiritual effort be fruitful.

You are the rhythm of the essence of life,
the gentle, sweet touch of love.

You are the fragrance of the floral nucleus.
You deliver the declaration of songs.

All want to attain You close.
All long to merge with You.
By thinking of You,
by ideating on You,
who cannot get fulfilment?

You are the root of everything.
You dwell on the bank of the heavenly soft stream.
In the dense dark night,
Your joy overflows as moonlight.

O Beloved,
pupil of my eyes,
You remain close to me day and night.

I do not fear getting lost
during storms and typhoons.

Continuing to hear the sound of Your ankle bell,
I do not require consolation
during pains, burns, grief, mourning or bereavement,
caused by the hot desert.

O most Beloved, I love You.
I want nothing from You.
Just grant sweetness to the core of my heart.
So that by that sweetness,
with charming adornment,
You may come into my loving fold.

I have forgotten the date of Your arrival,
but I have not forgotten You,
O Beloved.

The flowers of the garland that was meant for You
have withered away.
But the sweetness of that garland remains.

Whatever nectar You brought with You,
You poured into the core of my heart.
Due to that bliss,
the dance of feelings in each pore never stops.

Bestowing such feelings,
You come and go,
showering sweetness in both light and darkness.
You oscillate the mind with Your smile and love.
This fact I had not known earlier.

You came without letting anyone know
and went away without announcement.

You spread into each home
the immortal song of Your love.

You create the world with love.
There is no comparison to Your affection.
O limitless ocean of softness,
You continue playing hide and seek.

You fill the mind with Your song,
intoxicating it with melody.
You oscillated the three-layered universe,
by pouring heavenly nectar over it.

Having come into my heavenly garden,
You went away.
Tell me, where did You go?

You graced me and came within my reach.
Then, You went away.
Now, my days pass by crying.

Mercifully,
You did not allow me to hold You.
Who has any capacity to hold You?
Due to the burden of my broken ego,
I am unable to get peace from anything.

O Dearest,
You are the basis of absolute peace.
Continue destroying the darkness of infatuation.
During storms, thunderbolts and falling meteorites,
Your effulgence flashes.

Loving You,
being mentally close to You,
my days float away
to an unknown sphere.

It is impossible to hold those golden days
in the golden cage of my mind.
I love You. Hence, I beg.

With Your ideation I survive day and night.
Thinking of You,
feeling You,
my mind seeks to find You,
and thereby attain peace.

Many days passed running after inert objects.
Many days of this small life were lost.

There should not be further delay.
Not much time remains.
Now, let Your mercy shine.

For such a long time,
You kept me surrounded,
upsurging the ocean of mundane attachments.

There was no one to call my real own.
The musical instrument of my mind
was engaged in chanting only my own greatness and glory.

You came close to me with silent footsteps
and made the bud of my mind blossom
in countless colours and forms.
With the charming melodies of rhythmic songs,
O unknown one,
You revealed Yourself.

You can never be realised by logic and reasoning.
By love alone,
You are attained.
In everyone’s heart,
You vibrate like a creeper of hope,
as aspirations smilingly merge with You.

Though I never wanted to be close to You,
You came, showering Your grace.

Being engrossed in a crude and inert world,
I never understood You.
You broke my worldly attachments.

I was busy with my own self,
searching means of happiness with only the senses.
You shifted my outlook
and opened my eyes,
filling with love the dry core of my heart.

My ego used to be a huge burden for me.
This small ”I” of mine used to move on a crooked path,
never on straight and righteous path.

You showed the direction
and placed me on the proper path,
turning me into a human being.

Holding Your flag with firm hands,

Carrying Your blessing on my head,
thereby filling me with inner strength,
I march ahead.

I was never alone.
You being with me,
there is no fear.
I shall keep doing Your work.
I shall keep singing Your song,
remaining ever illuminated by Your effulgence.

You are the fragrance in the moonlit night
and the scent of flowers in the sweet floral garden.
Break open the shining anklet bondage of fear and shyness that binds people.

You have filled the world with Your own Self.
In it, atoms dance each moment.
You are the summum bonum of all desires and achievements,
of all coming and going.

Conscious of the path,
the unknown traveler had come
and stood in front of my door for a moment.

I did not recognise Him.
I did not call Him in even once.
He went away smiling softly.

After some time I realised my mistake,
and, opening the door, I came out rushing.
I searched Him in vain far and wide.
He was not there.
His garland was lying on the ground.

In life, many mistakes happen,
but they can also be expiated.
Today I am calling Him with heartfelt longing,
but I do not know whether that call enters His ears.

I thought You would not come.
I thought You would not listen to the voice of the poor.

I also thought that You would remember only those
who perform Your worship with the elaborate rituals of the sixteen aspects.

My mistake is shattered.
I have now understood You as being attainable only by love.
Neither oblation nor libation, nor offerings can attract You.
Only through purity of mind is Your real worship performed.

I do not recognise artificial distinctions of society.
Nor should there be deprivation of anyone.

By bringing the light of hope to the downtrodden,
Your sadhana is carried out.

The rain awakens the ketakii flower
and through its pollen, fragrance floats.

Frogs croak in the grove of nut trees.
Thunder laughs as wild wind.
In my mind,
emerging from the northeastern corner,
clouds dance with vigour.

The pollen of the juhi flower has become wet
and is sought for by the night queen.
Within the forest and garden,
in seclusion and silence,
who is the one singing songs?

You are so close,
yet, at the same time,
You are very far.

I know that You observe my inner core.
Why then do You make me feel so impatient and distressed?

In search of You,
I have visited many countries.
I have wandered through mountains and jungles.
I took baths in many holy ponds and rivers.
But I never cared to look within.

Since eternity You have been playing Your divine game with me.
Sometimes You come close

and sometimes You go far,
sounding Your smiling ankle bells.

Come close, closer, with a smile that flows pearls.

Come into the core of my heart.
Come with floral adornment,
pouring forth the nectar of love.

All want You,
colouring their mind with Your colour,
filling it with Your love, rhythm and song.

This is not only my tale,
rather, it is the story of all devotees.
It is the history of all human minds,
singing their song with the hope of attainment.

O Ocean of Grace,
You came to the courtyard of my small home.

I had never expected this.
There is no limit to Your compassion.

I had been calling many summer and rainy seasons.
I continued crying through several winter evenings.
I balanced on the swing of hope and despair,

expecting Your compassionate glimpse for at least a moment.

Your love is unthinkable,
incomparable,
overflowing and immeasurable.
You came to Your own microcosm
appearing within,
O Great Ocean.

You love Your divine play.

During winter evenings,
in the sweet moonlight,
You smile overwhelmingly.

On sunny days during hot winds,
in the frightening thunder of intense rains,
You express an unknown joy,
shining with frenzy.

With floral fragrance,
with a sweetness-filled heart,
with flashes of lightning,
You take all along,
You give to all,
You merge in the core of their heart.

Why did You come?
Why did You go away?
Undergoing all the trouble of only coming and going?

For You, in my house,
a seat had been kept ready with floral decoration
but You did not even look at it.

Picking up mental flowers,
I had threaded a garland as ritual of love.

The garland has dried up.
Its flowers have withered away.
You did not give me time to place it around Your neck.

I do not know whether or not You love me.
I only know that I love You.
Perhaps in my thinking there was some lapse or mistake.
Maybe that is why my mind now vainly floats in tears.

The mist of my eyes washes away the dark mark.
You did not understand my agony.
You did not come close to me.

What a love is this?
You do not realise neither my pain nor my happiness.
You stay away, playing Your deluding game.

I shall no longer call You,
or wait for You, looking at the path.
I shall no longer cry, carrying Your memory with me.
Had You ever loved me,

You would not have left me rejected in this way.

O merciless one, think once more!
Forgetting You, to whom shall I go?
Whatever I may have said hundreds of times
due to experiencing the pain of agony,
forget it all and come into my inner core.

The peacock of my mind keeps dancing,
ever higher unto You.

It does not know in which unknown place
You secludedly dwell.
It does not heed to any prohibition.
How can domestic bondages bind it?

Like a horse without bridles,
it rushes forth on an unknown path.
Tied by the rope of love,
it ignores all restrictions.
Along to the beats and rhythm of an insuppressible comet,
it sings its song.

In the mental sphere,
You do not recognise any boundary line.
You do not heed to any prohibition.
You have filled the whole world
with varieties of fruits, flowers, sweet water and pure smiles.

You are eternally with all.
You are the victory mark on everyone’s forehead.
You are the immeasurably deep ocean,
the motionless mountain,
the pains and pleasures.
You remain merged with the innermost of all.

Through philosophy and science,
You create the drama of illusion.

and wants You as its innermost.
O ocean of mercy,
why do You keep my pot of hope empty?

Considering me unknown,
do not keep me away.
Come down to my hut.

Your smiling love pours out moonlight.
The mental sweetness of flowers brings fruits.
The sparks of hopes
that You kindle in the darkness,
dance on.

Due to the vibrations of Your thoughts,
all rush forth,
including meteorites and distant nebula.
In atoms and molecules,
Your effulgence flashes.
Firm in ideology,
You are never shaken.

The language of my songs is lost,
only their tunes remain inside my heart.

When I see You in the winter evening,
in the gentle moonlight
and amidst the fragrance of the shefali flower,
then in that environment,
a song comes floating.
You went away carrying with You that song,
leaving behind only its tune.

When I see You in dark nights,
amidst the reckless rain and lightning,
in that frightening environment also,
a song comes.
But now that song has gone
and only its melody rhythmically dances on.

You have poured heaps of rhythmic beauty onto the world.

With the tinkling of Your viina,
and the jingling bell of the mind,
infused with love,
You kindled my jewel lamp.

I have no desires left.
Whatever I have, I shall put to utilisation,
So that the wealth, filling my bouquet with love,
be not lost by the defect of intellect.

Human beings get many things but want still more.
Their hunger is never satiated.
They always think about their crude hunger,
ignoring and rejecting what they have already got.

Amidst the dense clouds of the blue sky
appearing like a dark mark in people’s eyes,
the colourful lotus flashes.

Providing a jerk to thoughts,
shaking the mind,
it oscillates on the swing of a floral rope.

For a long time,
I had not thought of Him, not even by mistake.
In the core of my heart,
I did not want to catch hold of Him.

Suddenly, something started rocking me back and forth.
My mind became restless,

and now, it cannot forget Him.

The tender propensities of the mind
that had been asleep,
the sweet and perfect attitude of the mind,
that had lain dormant in its casket,
wondered about what had happened.

They all awoke,
swooning the mind at His tune.

It keeps singing only Your songs.

My mind refuses to stay at home.

Why did not I hear Your call for so many days?
My ears had considered You unrecognised.
Now that acquaintance with You has taken place,
there is no such delusion.
It is You I love.

Your ideation remains embedded in my inner core.
My world has merged in You.
The light of Your beauty
has entered my eyelids with a flash.
Where did all this nectar come from?

You came by love.
You filled the world.
You keep dancing.
Tell me, unto whom do You rush?

You smiled into one’s innermost core.
You loved and snatched away hearts
with an unknown song.

In this world there is no one else like You.
O most beloved,
You came in the form of formlessness.

You intoxicated everyone’s mind
with innumerable rhythms and songs.
You brought everyone close to You
by Your sweet attraction.

Because You exist, the created universe exists.
By Your light, atoms dance unto the great.
Due to the feeling of duality, we see small and big.
In deep meditation, let all merge in You.

You came, poured out nectar
and loved all with equal feelings.

You think of all equally,
irrespective of whether they love You or not.

O nucleus of the cycle,
without letting anyone know,
You continue creating Your divine game.

You declare the fulfilment of atoms
by attracting them close to You with love.

No one can ever go the wrong way
while moving on the path set forth by You.
All will have to rush towards You.

To this end,
sitting in and illuminating the inner core,
You keep singing the immortal song of love.

With the rope of Your love,
You have kept everyone tied.
It is impossible to cast off its bondage.

O nucleus of the universe,
You filled the mental arena,
so that the mind may not rush astray.

In which distant past
did the movement on Your path start?
Through rise and fall,
through feelings,
it tells the story to the ears.

With the love with which You have tied all,
with the honey that You poured into everyone’s core,
with the sweet movement with which You filled rhythmic songs,
with all that,

hearts overflow.

I told:
“I love You.
Your clean, sweet smile,

fill me with melody, even while I cry.

This mutual understanding between You and me,
this exchange of feelings,
is not a negligible event.

The sandal breeze came
and whispered into my ears
that You would come today.

Hence, this time
I have kept all the doors of my mind open to welcome You.
I have kept the garland ready, threaded with mental flowers.
With carefully selected fragrance, I have kept my bouquet decorated.

I am full of expectation
and with an impatient heart,
I am eager to hear Your call.

The effulgence keeps smiling far and further still.
The fragrance keeps spreading, pleasing all.

Knowing that You are to come,
my mind does not heed to any obstacle.
It dances on in the light and fragrance of joy.

You came without being called
and went away without saying anything.
What is this divine game of Yours,
O dear Lord?

I didn’t know or understood
why You had come to my home and had gone away.

From the mouth of people,
I have heard that You love by playing the divine game,
and in the drama of that game You cry and smile.

O affectionless one,
I do not know whether my crying makes You laugh or cry,
but I accept it.

I do not understand what this divine game is for.
Sometimes it makes me cry and sometimes it makes me smile.
If such be the acting in Your drama game,

then You are far, nay, farthest.

My serpent has lost its gem.

Sitting alone,
staring into the void,
I count the stars in the sky.

My ego has been pulverised by the frowning of shortages.
Now only rumination and reflection of memories are left.
You made me so selfless

that nothing of my “I” feeling remains.

Still, I am full of the brilliance of light.
I am Yours,
You are mine.
I am not totally devoid of all belongings.

Who is that unknown traveler
who has come oscillating?

Suddenly appearing from unknown world,
He momentarily smiled and floated away.

I had never tried to recognise Him.
There was no bondage of love.
My mind never thought of His concerns.
He nevertheless gave me a momentary touch.

I understood Him to be my innermost.
He is my very own amidst the nearest,
the collection of love.

Forgetting Him,
everything becomes a heavy load.
In my dark heart,
only that gem shines.

You delight the sky and the air.
You are revered in all spheres.

The experience that arises from heavenly effulgence
remains utterly embedded in You.

Other than You,
nobody else exists.
Wherever I look,
I find but Your expression.
In the colour of the new sun,
in floral fragrance,
You reside with love.

For such a long time,
I had not understood You,
I had not seen the rain of nectar in You.
By that nectarial flow all attain life
and the vibrant earth smilingly rotates.

I had never imagined that You would come like this,
now that I see overflowing nectar all around.

O guest,
You appeared without consideration of date.
Our acquaintance was made from deep from within the heart.
The immortal song that You sang in my inner core

will never be forgotten.

You are the essence of sandal.

You are the belonging of all hearts.

Who can recognise You or understand You?
You are unlimited beyond knowledge.

When I search You with logic and reasoning,
I return disappointed.
But when ideating upon You,
You appear face to face time and again.

My own ego had kept me away from You.
It had kept covered the lamp of my life.
Removing that covering,
I became one with You.

The expectation of my mind was not fulfilled.
Day and night I secretly continued singing in the language of love.

I had coloured my mind with Your colour.
I had come treading Your path.
I had accepted You as essence.
All my crying and smiling had taken place only around You.

For You alone I shall do everything.
I shall keep You in the core of my heart.
I shall keep floating to Your tune.
My coming to this earth shall thus be fruitful.

The bondages of this earth do not tear me apart.
They bind me at each step I take.

These bondages are sweet and charming.
Only You may remove them.

Although You are beyond attributes,
You acquired attributes,
putting on bondages with both Your hands.
From being formless, You came to be form,
filling Yourself with sweet fragrance.

Being absorbed in attributelessness,
the achiever’s world dissolves.
The recognised universe becomes unrecognised,
as the end beyond end comes to mind.

O, why had You been imagining?
Being so determined,

Deluding all by Your will,
You brought about the divine play.
What sort of new ankle bell did You sound in the process?

How many eras have since passed?
There is no record of it in history.
In the resonance of rhythms and thoughts,
lies that which the Great Consciousness has intended.

From what unknown world,
did You descend today,
filling the universe with rhythm and tunes?

You attracted all,
even those who were far from You,
drawing them close unto Your cosmic hub.

Deep within the inner chamber of their unit mind,
every entity of this manifestation longs for Your presence.
Although not expressed openly,

this desire is cherished secretly in their inner hearts.

Today, You awakened hope and love in every cell of our existence.
Today, every atom and molecule found language to express.
Those who, for so long, remained far from You,

today, found themselves reflected in the serene glow
and divine rhythm of Your cosmic mental arena.

You remain tied to everybody in bonds of love and affection.
You move with all, along an eternal path,

to build a universal human society.

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

From which unknown world
did You come
to fill everything with beauty and melody,
and pull the distant ones close?

In the depth of mind,
all want You.
Even without speaking,
all secretly long for You.

You awakened in each pore of my heart
hope, love and language.

Those who were left afar,
came into Your mental mirror,
gently and gracefully,
dancing with rhythm and melody.

Taking all along,
and bestowing love,
You created the universal society.

The cascade of songs rushes forth towards the ocean.

It does not heed to any stone obstacle.
Making its way, it rushes forward.

From which beginninglessness did its sound arise?
It has ever since been drifting in the flow of time.
Holding on to the path of the eternal companion,

crossing hundreds of obstacles,
this stream dances on in the flow of melodies.

There is no end to that sound,
neither is there any end to songs,
just as there is no end to life.
Moving forward is its duty.
Forgetting all fear and shyness,
it ever breaks the prison of ego.

From the snowy peak,
on which morning did You descend?

I salute You,
O Mahadeva (Great God)!
O Vishvambhar (Maintainer of the Universe)!

O Shubhankar (Doer of Auspiciousness),
At that time You had not yet tied Your loose and matted hair
with golden, heavenly water.

You (then) tied Your hair to obstruct insanity.
You brought regulation amidst haphazardness.
Into each step and path of life,
You filled rhythm and song.
O Ocean of kindness!
O Merciful One!

I do not find any comparison to what You have given.
There is neither limitation nor embankment to Your attributes.
O Quickly-pleased One!

O Annihilator of the Universe!

On this rainy and wet evening,
the fragrance of the ketaki flower
floats over the water.

The moon appears clouded.
Yet, observing it closely,
nectar appears to rain down on the afflicted.

In its dark nest, the peacock cries,
unable to see the shining moon.
The toads croak,
trumpet-like,
thunderously,
voicing an unknown language.

The distant great sky calls as if signalling by hands.
It teaches to break the boundary of limitation.

Forgetting all, the mind wants to attain only One.
It remains absorbed in the ideation of only One.

I salute You.
What have You not all done to awaken humanity?

Into animal-like mankind,
You filled ideals by shaking the earth and the sky.
You came like a boat to liberate all

from the insuppressible ocean of blinding darkness.
Whether small or big,

all understood by actual experience
that You think for everyone.

Having come in the distant past,
You remain in feelings and songs,
with a hidden current in the depth of mind.
I won't forget You.
I am unable to forget You.
O essence of mercy!
Svayambho, O Self-created One!

Thinking of You,
what was this experience
that completely satiated my whole being?

You poured love on me,
filled me with affection
and removed all my impurities.
O ocean of mercy,
charming philanderer,
You made the pot of my heart overflow.

Both from inside and from outside,
effulgence emerges,
surrounding me from all sides,
creating a strong upsurge of fragrance and emotions.

I shall forever keep thinking of You,
leaving behind the binding net of infatuation.
By Your touch,
I shall swing with joy,
carrying the brilliant gem in the firmament of my mind.

Whatever was in the depth of my mind,
I have expressed without suppressing anything.

Yet in whatever state my mental bud remains,
it is unable to bloom as a flower.
Many melodies come and float away far.
I do not know whether or not You are aware of it.

Still I understand, O loved One,
that there remains a difficult obstruction
between feeling and language.
All feelings cannot be brought within the frame of language.
I do not know whether or not You accept this.

Hoping for Your arrival, ages have passed.
Why didn’t You come even after giving Your word?

Don’t You know how many flames and how much heat
my dry garland has created in my mind?

Why do You give this sort of assurance?
Why do You fool me with the delusion of hope?

By making me cry,
raising disappointment in my silent heart,
tell me, what do You gain?

Whatever You want, You are capable of doing.
I cannot object.
There is neither victory nor defeat for me.
So why do You give me meaningless pain?

I keep singing my song for You.
I do not know whether You listen to it or not.
Yet, I sing blissfully.

This is not at all the story of only one.
It is the feeling of the human mind.
It expresses onto Your altar
the pain, agony and sweet creation of all.

My sole prayer to You be that You accept my request,
without fearing the sentiments of the song.

By making You listen to it, I shall be satisfied.
I want nothing more.
You gave me language and melody.
Hence I keep singing.

spots of insects could have been present.

O most beloved,
You are the gem of the ocean,
the brightest star in the sky.

All attempts to hold You by the power of knowledge
are bound to prove futile.

My love will forever live with hope in my heart.
Hence, I ask You mentally, secretly,
into my heart,
when will You come?

At the seashore,
in the evening,

whose fragrance floats?

When near Him, I think He has gone far,
so far that the eyes cannot see.

Far or near is but my thinking.
Nothing of Yours really comes or goes.
Under the illumination of intellect
I try to see with my eyes,
never thinking that my intellect has been granted by Your mercy.

You arrived here from beginninglessness.
You keep floating in the stream of infinity.
Beginning or end,
sky and horizon,
have become a lost concept.

From the northeastern corner,
the long horn has started sounding.
What does it wish to convey?

O Lord Shiva,
Your dance scatters meteorites in oscillating waves.

You dance the jumping Tandava dance,
giving jerk to sin.
You guide forward the deaf chariot of light.
O Greatest controlling God,
why do You do whatever You do?
My eyes are unable to understand and speechlessly look on.

The web of Your matted hair has opened out freely.
With that, O Lord,
You have become full of rhythm.
With each rhythmic step,
You move on,
in the light-flashing sound that is awakened.

Whatever intellect and intuition You gave me,
has been put to use to the extent possible.
O eternal companion,
You fill me with auspicious thoughts.
Only this much do I know.

I kept the door of my heart open.

To please You,

carrying the lighted stick to kindle the flame.

No one pays attention to me.
I have no one to tell my story to.
I am blanketed by darkness,
with my eyes flowing tears,

In the northeastern corner of the sky,
lightning, thunder and hailstone bring terror.
Still, I have confidence
that Your grace will shower down,

carries the effulgence of Your energy in its core.
By that capacity and by Your will,

the whole universe is stirred with joy.
Those asleep, wake up.
They dance and sing along to the vibration of love.

Wearing dark eyemarks,
clouds have appeared today,
providing consolation to my bereaved heart.

On dry branches greenness appeared,
moistening the earth.

The flow of water descends with rhythm and melody,
ignoring the frightening lightning.
It provides hope,
gradually advancing with rhythmic steps
towards the mental goal.

Sitting alone in a corner of my house,
I wonder who to pull closer and what to ignore.
In the depth of my mind,
by a special cloud-invoking melody,
all disheartenment disappears.

Surrounding my altar with tender leaves,

In the flow of movement,

that controls all movement is.
Neither have I heard when that movement will end.

With sweet and figurative expressions,

O Lord,
You opened all the doors
and made light come in through the windows.

In the eastern sky crimson light appeared
and darkness ended.

There had been inhibitions of dogma
and innumerable negative reactive momenta.
When eye-to-eye to Your effulgence,
the creatures of darkness retreated.

O embodiment of effulgence and shelter of all,
the flow of Your thought flows in auspicious intuition.
Through love and injury,

sun and shade,
Your affection shines.

Into the casket of my mind,
who has come?
Who is that You,
who came this evening?

Your radiant beauty in the distant sky
creates oscillations in the nebula.
By Your effulgence,
the world vibrates.
And by Your love,
life awakens.

The inanimate comes rushing close,
joining the animate.
And together, they sing Your song.

By Your primordial sound, Omkara,
innumerable melodies, rhythms and tunes arise.
The fragrance of pollen,
with smiling love,
floats as nectar in the universe.

The bee came
and took away all the honey
that had been kept preserved in the pollen of its flower.

Who is that unknown bee,
who smilingly conquers the heart in a moment?

The flower on which the bee does not come,
its petals become dirty.
It cries and withers away without knowing what happened.

Those flowers in which honey still remains today,
wholeheartedly sing:
O bee, O unequalled One,
make the creeper of my hope vibrant and enliven it!

From the pious world of effulgence,
who are You who came,
oscillating the minds and lives of all?

You advance with each step individuals take,
with each recurrence of the rising sun.
You uplift all,
You love all
and You understand the inner events of all.

You are not far from or alien to anyone.
Forgetting You means forgetting one’s own identity.
O precious gem,

awaken sound in everyone’s heart,
and wipe out the weariness of life.

The pain that You have been giving me again and again,
due to that only,

I remember You day and night.

I know that all is but Your divine game,
providing ever new experiences.
Hence in that flow,
I float with all my heart.

How many lovely seasons,
how many springs,
have passed?
How many events have occurred?
Forgetting everything,
opening my eyes,
I look onto Your path.

To arouse consciousness in the life of materialistic objects,
I keep singing the song of love.

You do not see.
You do not hear.

Day and night I have been thinking of You.
You do not understand.

Riding the chariot of light,
You went further away,
crossing and piercing through nebula, stars and planets.
You scattered meteorites.

Yet You did not think of me even for a moment.

You glimpse into the deep recess of minds.
You inundate with the flow of Your vibration.
You dance Your divine game,
making all cry and enjoy.
Yet why do You not appear in my mental mirror?

You came and loved me.
With a soft smile,
You snatched away my mind
and made me Your own.

I continued waiting,
counting time,
with decorated eyes and a tuft.
You came,
taking away with affection all what was mine.
You poured sweetness into buds.

Nothing is now left for me to wish for.
I remain constantly meditating on You.
You aroused a new idea in my mind,
making it joyfully resonate with love.

Carrying in hand a garland of campa and bakula flowers,
I had stood near the path,

hoping for Your arrival.

You came when the night was dense.
Meanwhile my floral garland had become soiled.
Into the tears flowing from my eyes,
the dark decorative mark had dissolved.

I shall no longer weave thick wrath garlands.
I shall no longer decorate trays of colours.
I shall merge external welcome decorations
into my internal imagination.

Who is He,
constantly revolving around me,
so as to make me forget my sorrows,
and pulling me ever closer?

Without even introducing Himself,
He enters my heart,
unconcerned about whether or not I am happy about it.

Having lost Him time and again,
I am afraid.
Hence, I have now kept Him carefully protected.
In the temple of ideation,
as I mentally long for my cherished goal,
He smiles in the sandal breeze.

I am not desirous of Him introducing Himself.
He has already filled my heart.
I remain thrilled in His attainment,
beyond good or bad qualities.

The bee came towards the flower
whose petals had opened up.

Its closed doors now all wide open,
a load of honey came out in overflowing proportions.

The one it had wanted,
was silently found in the core of its heart.
In this meeting of love,
glimpses of light flashed through the gaps of dark clouds.

The bee told:
“Though unseen,
I am ever with you.
To arouse you with oscillations,
I sing my song in your innermost being,
again and again.”

Singing songs for You,
O Lord,
my days are passing.

I do not know whether or not You hear them,
yet my mind wants that You listen to them.

You are in my heart.
You are also in the outside world.
Only You understand the longing of my mind.
My mind, resonating with the vibration of Your sound,
rushes unto You.

All the events taking place in the core of my mind,
those untold agonies that have remained suppressed,
those sorrows of non-achievement,

the restlessness of trying to attain You,
all these, I convey through songs.

There is no other way for me but through songs.
I have the hope that through songs I may attain Him close.

In the hope of His arrival,
I am sitting.

I do not know when that morning will smile at me,
when my morning sky shall be coloured with hues.
Yet, the day He will come close to me
all darkness shall be removed.

No endeavour is ever fruitless
if the inspiration of Your love is present.
Spreading my wings,
like a mental peacock,
I beg only for the wee bit of Your grace.

Wherever I look at,

I lose myself,
You being the life of my life.

Remain with me in rhythms and meters,
pouring heavenly sweetness into them.
Covering all darkness with Your illumination,

I do not choose any special day for creating these songs.
Neither do I pay heed to worldly obstructions.

I have included it all:
the snow, the summer heat, the colourful flowers of spring,
whatever external or internal,

both good and bad qualities.
You are incomparable.
You are like a pearl in the oyster.

Why do teardrops oscillate in the swing of your eyes?
Who has inflicted pain on you? Tell me.

The flowers in your garland are breaking off.

In the evening’s smiling illumination,
through the gaps of white clouds,
why doesn’t He call the shy shefali flower?

He doesn’t understand your pain,
the suppressed burden of your heart.
Why has the hair on your head become rough?

Who is that who does not come,
despite loving and giving smiles from afar,
all while hiding in the firmament of mind?
It is difficult to understand His love,
which resembles a flower amidst thorns.

In the garden of campaka flowers,
alone, secludedly,
I create my song for You.

In my mind,
hope and love abound.
Hence into that song,
I fill my vitality, my energy.

There was no one to listen to,
neither was there goal or effort.

Limitless inspiration lay in the air
and by a wee bit of Your compassion,
a pull of love emerged.

Along the forest path, I move with that tune,
mixing into it the fragrance of the campa flower.
Like a restless golden brilliance,
the song’s sweetness brings forth melody.

and shining gems are scattered
as You pour out nectar of peace.

I do not seek anything from You.
Because You exist, everything else exists.
Time, space and person

You came, smiling lovingly,
and swaying the garland of fragrant shefali flowers
that hung around Your neck.

White clouds were floating about
and in the jungle of tall grass,
a whitish smile shone,
along the intoxicating melody of Your bamboo flute.

Will not that day return,
in the evening breeze of winter,
piercing the darkness of pain
to lead life forward?

Its greenness dissolves the dark illusion,
as if it were absorbing sweetness.

The clouds play hide and seek with the moon,
filling new sweetness into the great blue sky.

My mental peacock dances,
forgetting time and date.
Light and shade form decoration marks in my eyes
as charming love fills my mind.

Snatching away everything,
You provide everything.
The ocean of pain is removed,
and becomes lost in the far distance.

You are the lamp of my life.
You are the flow of rhythmic songs.

You being my polestar,
I shall never be lost on the path.

As my throat loses its language,
Your song starts intoxicating with tunes.
You are the ever awakened alert
that pervades sleeping minds.

Ideation, language and melody become one,
as they approach Your red feet.
Listening to Your ankle bell,
the prison of inertia breaks.

Where were You when in a formless state?
And when did You come within form and name?

Intoxicating the world,
You brought rhythm to sound.
There had been no summer heat,
nor rain, nor winter nor dew.

There was no one to confidentially convey my mind to,
as You had been revolving in an arena beyond time.

Whether in autumn, spring or during the cold season,
there was no awakening of waves in the inner core.
There was nobody to play the viina
with the joyful touch of hands.

Don’t You see,
don’t You know
how much pain I have,
how much agony I endure?

Hiding within my mental realm,
why don’t You listen?
Do not pretend to be deaf.

I have called hundreds of times,
in pleasure and pain,
with tears of pain in my eyes.
Still, You do not see.
You do not speak.
What a system of Yours this is,
I cannot understand.

Riding the chariot of light,
with the speed of meteorites,
You keep moving forward,
with wholehearted impulse.
Yet, I remain isolated at a far-off place,
wandering to and fro,
amidst light and shade.

colouring it through song after song.

With the intoxication of colour,
my mind is in frenzy.
The world has become filled with colours.

I shall merge my colour into Yours each moment.
The paper balloon floats towards the firmament of mind
while the lamp of hope keeps glowing within.

With the resonant cloud,
I arose
and saw You in a new form,
O beloved Lord.

You remain coloured in heavenly hue,
and vibrant in fragrant niipa.

You poured out a heavenly flow
and made the dry desert green.
You filled the dead with life,
and provided the experience of consciousness to the inert.

You removed the scorching heat of the sun
and filled with water the dried out and thinned river.
You gave flow to the dry earth

and destroyed darkness by the lamp of hope.

the flood of effulgence overflows.

With a sweet smile on Your lips,
under the bright moonlight of illuminated nights,
and in the soft breeze of the blue sky,
You filled my heart with Your gifts.

Whatever I think,
and whatever I did not think,
whatever I see,
and whatever I did not see,
within all,
Your compassion and affection is embedded.

The darkness that has accumulated in my home,
cannot be removed by worldly light.
I lie stranded in the dark prison.
Fill it instead with Your light.

Beloved,
other than You, who should I call?
Who else is my own?
You are the essence of my life.
Hence, break the slumber of my infatuation.

On this evening, filled with the fragrance of the malati flower,
with each step of rhythmic dance, along resonating ankle bells,
my mind floats off into the far distance.

My mind abandons all drowsiness
as my throat sings the song of Your name.

Ideating on You,
I have become Your gift.
What am I now,
is what You have made me.

I know and understand that You love me.
Attachments have been vanquished.
At the tinkling of Your sweet vina,
I forget everything.

We saw each other at the ocean of darkness.

In that intensely dark night,
You floated away to the ocean of effulgence.

I did not understand and kept You away.
I was surrounded by boundary walls,
locked in my own prison.

You brought me out by breaking this prison,
and pulled me close to You.
Removing all my ego,
You made me Your own.

The flowers in my hair have withered.
The song of my voice has stopped.
In this tear-filled evening my mind craves for Your grace.

You once said,
"Do not fear, I am with You,
I shall always remain with You."
And yet, I feel as if losing You.

The light of my hope begins to dim.
But I shall not lose heart.
The thought of You gives me strength.
With new ghee and wick
I re-light this dimming lamp of hope.

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

The garland of my chignon has dried up,
the song in my throat has stopped.

On this tearful evening
my mind seeks only Your grace.
Tell me once:

“There is nothing to fear,
I am with you
and will for ever remain”.

Losing time and again,
I get afraid,
the light of my hope becomes extinguished.

Yet, I shall never become subdued.
By Your ideation,
I shall attain strength.

Into the lamp of hope
that today was about to extinguish,
wick and fuel was poured.

My eyes obey no boundaries.
They want to always see Him.
Whether in mountains or in caves,
whether external or internal,
I want to always feel Him in the depths of my mind.

In daylight and in the darkness of night,
in whatever good or bad prevails in this universe,
He remains ever present.
Under the light of His mystical drama,
we become immersed in His love.

Whatever fear and shame I had,
He removed it up to the last drop.
I don't understand what still keeps me here.
Everything merges into one
and that one encompasses everything.

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

My eyes are all forbidding.
They continuously crave for His blissful glimpse.

Whether I be
in caves or in mountains,
or anywhere,
whether within or without,
I always long to keep Him
deep within the innermost recess of my mind.

In the light of the day
and in the darkness of night,
in all the good and evil of creation,
it is His play of light and shade;
it is the spell of His divine sport.

Everything remains moistened
by His charming sweetness.

He took away all my fear and shyness.
I could not grasp what happened.
Everything became lost in the one.
Everything was illuminated
with the effulgence from the one.

You came into the bud of my mind,
and filled it with joy, smile and sweetness.

You came the way I had wanted You to come.
Nothing else did I find.
You came, making the stream overflow at both its banks.

Although I know that there is neither coming nor going for You,
I do not experience this myself.

Hence whenever I realise
that You have come close,
my mind spreads its wings with joy.

I do not know why I love You.
Loving You is my endeavour, my sadhana.
I am unable to bind You by reason and logic.
I have therefore cast aside all intellect.

You opened Your eyes and looked at me.

In the depth of my mind,
You filled with fragrance
my garden of campaka flowers.

I was in deep slumber in the pitch dark night,
I could not even imagine the rays of the sun.
You poured light into my home,
and filled my life with sweetness.

I had never thought of anything other than myself.
Under the charm of infatuation,
I had been deprived of consciousness.
With my own sorrows,
I had filled the world.

You broke my delusion.

You secretly stepped in.
I had not noticed it at that time.

The night was silent
while You looked at me with open eyes.
With lightning, You broke my slumber,
and filled me with consciousness.

O eternal guide of the entirety of my life,
showering Your grace upon me,
take me on the pilgrimage of effulgence.
Holding my hand,
remain with me each moment.

Being unable to understand You,
what harm is there in loving You?

Not being able to understand You by my small intellect,
what prevents me then to come close to You?

You are the ocean,
I am a mere bubble.
You are the reservoir,
I am a lotus flower.

Being thoroughly bound by limitations,
I seek Your causeless grace.

You are the forest fire,
I am a mere spark.
I am a pebble,
You are a high mountain.

With a little pain,
with a little pleasure,
I remain in bliss,
without even seeking You.

In this festivity of light,
amidst decorations of flowers,
I found You today in a new form,
with adornments ever new.

No one is impure or inauspicious,
joining voices with all,
along the sound of the victory drum,
take all along.

O singular One,
there is no second Supreme Entity!
Destroy the dark dirt.
To ignorant human beings,

O owner and maintainer of the universe,
what song of praise should I sing to You?
In Your resonance and vibrations,
Your glory shines.

When I first started my journey,
of forward movement on Your path,
on that day,
O controller of the universe,
I attained a place at Your feet.

Other than You, who else is mine?
Who else can understand my load of pain?
I know You and I adopt You.
Your mercy is the bath of liberation.

With the restless wind,
my mind floats to an unknown realm.

It wants to break the bondage of its walls,
loving the distant blue sky.

There, the world is not bound by law.
There exists neither slow nor fast pace.
There is no pain causing tears to flow.
There, the liberated mind loses itself in limitlessness.

I am unable to understand what happened.
I do neither know who came or who went.
In exchange of all, I take one as my companion,
in whom I rejoice with bliss, separated from all others.

During which spring did You come into my mind?
I have forgotten the day and date.

I only remember that with sweet lips You spoke, saying:
“I am your guest”.

There is no need to know the day and date.
All arrangements are already in Your mind.
Stay with me in life and death.
Stay day and night with sweet fragrance.

Beyond time,
O Lord,
You dwell.
Yet again and again,
You come within the periphery of time.

You are essence of nectar to my dry heart.
Hence, I keep singing Your song.

Please accept this meagre offering of mine.

I think of You in the crimson light
and see the sketch of Your image in the eastern sky.
Both our colours sing in unison.

When the sun sets in the evening sea,
my mind dances in its red hue.
I merge my rhythm with that of the universe,
as my ego dissolves.

Come close.
Do not leave me.
Stay with me and fill my mind.

You are the brilliance of gems
of all the seven strata of the universe.
Do not let me move about in darkness.

I know that in my mind there is endless darkness.
I have neither spiritual goal nor spiritual endeavour.
I depend wholly on Your mercy,

like a polestar in the darkness.

By reason, I am unable to find fulfilment.
But there is no restriction in seeking Your mercy.
This sincere desire of mine has existed for ages.
Moisten it with the water of Your grace.

I sought You secretly in dream.
Why didn’t You come close?

You do not come into my heart due to fear.
But why do You need to stay so far away?

In the restless, frenzied wind,
my mental deer wants only You.
My mental peacock keeps dancing.
Don’t You notice it, even after looking at it?

I have heard that You know the inner feelings of everyone.
But when it comes to me You lose that quality.

O day-traveler,
I call You repeatedly.
Did You become deaf on purpose?

In the nights You provide peace,

All the agonies present in my mind
are removed by thinking of You.

Destroying sorrows and infatuation,
pull me unto my destination,
with the light of love,
O embodiment of consciousness.

I love You.

You are the collection of colourful flowers.

What can I seek from You?
When You are present, everything is attained.

The ocean is filled with Your particles.
You are the life of all lives.
You are the great vitality of the universe.
You conquer hearts with love.

I do not speak out loud,
but think within my mind,
with each atom and vibration of my existence.
It is difficult to be without You.
That is why, all sing Your song at all times.

You keep performing the divine game,

You are the sweetness of the honey in the flower.
You are the softness of the moon in the sky.
You are the restlessness of the afflicted heart.
You remain revered from within one’s inner core.

found new language in the bonds of Your love.

Coming close and sit smilingly,

For, by its vibration and the feeling of its thrill,
tears flow from my eyes even today.

Thinking of You,

The flower buds removed their veil,

You pulled close the distant ones,

Ideation and non-ideation mingled,
and in my meditation and incantation only love remained.

I am unable to understand
why You do not want to be attained.

You might think that by getting caught,
You would become finite.
And due to that fear You stay away.

You appear to the honey in the flower,
and get bound by the new tender leaf.
You filled the world with Your light.
Do You think that I do not know that?

The drama of Your divine game is ending.
Understanding it by intellect is difficult.
In this flow of Your divine game the world floats,
as object of meditation and spiritual effort become one.

No matter how much You tell me to forget You,

Despite being surrounded by Your enchanting and illusive play,
I shall not yield to its attraction.

Whatever exists today will not survive tomorrow.
Whatever is sweet today will be painful tomorrow.
Whatever I am intoxicated with today,
tomorrow, I shall not look at anymore.

I know that this world is ever moving.
Yet it is neither essence nor false.
It will not remain as it is,
due to the momentum of its movement.
Thus, I shall not forget the eternal.

While I was slumbering deeply,
You came and left.

In what sleep of death I had been!
That had even snatched away my consciousness.

Raising a tinkling on the strings of Your vina,
You called me again and again.
And even after finding You close,
I had been unable to attain You.
And thus was torn apart the taste of that dream.

Dancing with rhythmic beats,
You remain in the core of my mind.
You appeared at the moment of an annihilating night.

appear to me,

Come and sit,

I have kept my heart uplifted
and filled it with fragrance.

I am creating songs in the gentle sandal breeze.
Along the melody given by You with the sweetness of Your flute,
I keep singing.

Please listen.

Nothing belongs to me, everything is Yours.
This beautiful earth and love is adorable.
You pervade and encompass everything.
All exist due to You.
Awaken this awareness in my mind.

Tell me,
why do You play the flute?

I was busy with my work,
carrying in me greed, infatuation, fear and shyness,
yet You made me unconcerned.

I sit with ears attuned,
absorbing my mind in sweetness,
and inundating all my defects in Your colour.

Taking them all away,
You gave the sound of Your flute,
which now, I cannot forget.

That flute sound oscillates each corner of the world.
It has filled the minds of all with rhythm.

By the love of that sound,
I frenzy with melody and tune.
All this is nothing but Your mercy.

O beloved,
having come to me,
do not stay away.

Whatever I have expressed
and whatever pains I have kept suppressed in my heart,
You know it all.

I am with You.
I think of You day and night.
Leaving everything else aside,
my yearning heart wants only You.

In love You come near,
and smile in my heart.
It is for You that my tears are shed.
You have lit the lamp of my life.

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

O my beloved one,
I know that You will come,
that will not remain far.

You know all about the
sincerity compressed within me.

Only for You I survive,
I keep thinking about You day and night.

My restless heart,
leaving behind everything,
wants only You.

With love, You approach,
and smile sweetly into the core of my heart.
Tears flow for You,
and shine on the candle base of my life.

You came with each rhythm,
with each dancing step,
but where You went to,
I do not know.

On the bank of my mental lake,
beyond language,
why this awakening took place,
I do not know.

You are the charioteer of the chariot of light.
You come, go and show glimpses of Yourself,
without considering date or day.
By Your unlimited gift and offer of affection,
You create the world of this divine game.

You love all and all love You.
There is no one else like You.
You are the ocean of grace
in all the seven strata of this universe.
Because You are present, I exist,
surviving in the flow of Your mercy.
Staying with You, my spiritual pursuit is accomplished.

On this rain-bathed evening,
through the pollen and fragrance of the ketaki flower,
love keeps floating.

Crossing the enclosure between the known and the unknown,
the peacock of my mind rushes towards the infinite.

The arbor of nipa trees swings today.
In the bamboo grove there is greenness.
The pale, yellow grass has become green.
The river overflows.
Engulfing both its shores,
it vanishes in the distance.

Sitting alone in a corner of my house,
I sing my song,
to make You listen when no one is there.
Amidst the roar of storms,
I found melody,
overwhelming me with satisfaction,
both inside and outside.

When again that same dark night had come,
covering me in darkness,
and I had lost my way,
then the polestar appeared
and I could catch the beacon of proper direction.

Whenever I think of the event of that night!
I was deeply frightened and in restless pain,
when Your ears heard my sincere call for help.

Your mercy cannot be forgotten.
It provides oscillations by an unseen touch.
By Your wish all come and go.
This fact has become known.

During the penance of the night,
of this dark night,
You are there and I am there,
O Lord,
amidst infinite effulgence.

Whenever I lose my tune,
You restore it again.
To Your tune,
the whole world dances,
as darkness recedes.

The darkness of this dark night is not eternal.
Within it, sparks of particles flow.
Within it, Your acquaintance is made.
You keep floating,
smilingly, towards heaven.

In the gentle southern breeze,
my mind floats,
discarding all its bondages.

The inertia of hesitation is no more.
My swan spreads its wings and rushes into the sky.

I do not keep account of what came and what went.
Neither do I know who won over me.
I want to move forward
and sing my song wholeheartedly,
recognising the unknown through rhythm and melody.

I fly in the sky like a free swan.
I carry out dialogues with planets and stars.
Taking all,
I create society.
My mind wants to break the bondages of separation and distinction.

You came during a cyclonic and rain-drenched dark night.

My small hut had its doors shut.
I was alone and asleep.

Knocking on the door with Your hand,
You broke my sleep.
With a gesture You called me out
and told me to laugh freely and vigourously.

You further told me to look at the earth in a new style.
At this, my small hut became big

and the whole universe was unified.
Stars and nebula came close,
and my mind became satiated by a flow of love.

Decorated with a garlands of stars,
the sky tells me by the sound of ankle bells,
that to my happiness there is no limit.

I take only one.
I love only one.
Other than that one,
I do not know anyone else.

In the milky nebula,
and in the sweet fragrance of the sandal breeze,
I remain with Him,
individually and collectively,
on the golden chariot of all-round hope.
To surround Him is my spiritual endeavour.

You all are my beloved ones.
I am for everyone.
Carrying the sorrows and pains of all on my shoulder,
I take them to a higher realm.

I do not let anyone stay behind.

On that darkness-filled storm,
You came to my door.

My mind was unconscious, buried in slumber.
I did not call You inside after opening the door.

You stood with a water-drenched dress,
shivering from the shudder of the storm.
Still, my sleep did not break.
I did not open the door after getting up.
Why was I like that?
O dearest, tell me.

You had been full of expectation,
throughout the whole period,
but my faults had accumulated layer beyond layer.
Why didn’t You wake me up with lightning and thunder,
so that I could have satisfied You by offering my services?

He who is the pupil of all eyes,
I do know Him,
I do recognise Him.

He remains close,
yet I did not see Him.
Why did I not understand?

Blind infatuation had engulfed me,
my mind was without rhythm and I was crying.
To have my darkness removed,
and to become filled with rhythm instead,
why didn’t I call,
why didn’t He come?

At His rhythm the whole world dances.
Why should I remain alone without any rhythm?
By His effulgence planets and stars smile.
But why does He not look at me?

Your long horn sounds, removing all lethargy.

The agony of inertness is no more.
The rejuvenating spirit smiles.

The sleeping earth arose,
beautified by tender leaves.
Colours are filled into flowers and fruits,
amidst the light of shining thoughts.

There is nothing to obstruct the path,
no malice, no evil and mean thoughts.
The day for forward movement has come,
under the free and star-filled sky.

This evening,
I merged the colour of my mind
into the colour of effulgence.

I had unnecessarily been in search of capital gains.
These are now no more in my mental casket.

Whatever I had searched for throughout my life,
or had wanted for myself,
today, has been found,
and is shining with irresistible glow.

My colour dissolved into the colour of the evening love.

Single-mindedly,
discarding all,
I attained one.

The red writing that You sketched
in the distant sky,
by the evening ocean,
- that mark -
will never become erased from my mind.

I have fully merged with Your colour.
I have lost my own “I” feeling.
By Your love,
by smiles and tears,
You poured forth the joy of existence.

You keep playing with colours.
The festivity of Your colour is all around.

In the flow of Your divine game,
with the upsurge of nectar,
O beloved,
You come close.

The messenger of light came rushing forth,
whispering into my ears as it sang its song:

“Do not consider this world a mere play.
In it takes place the real ebb and flow of life.
The morning sunrise and the evening sunset
take place at the direction of a single divinity.

That divinity is the real truth.
That controller is the eternal God.
This fact all must realise in their heart.

In life, do not entertain hypocrisy.
Leave nothing wanting in the realm of abstract thoughts.
Keeping this truth in the depth of your heart,

and accept Him with a non deceptive mind.”

He for whom I had threaded my garland,
forgetting all my pains,
why didn’t He come to my home?

He to whom, day and night,
I had spoken to about the wants of everyone,
why didn’t He come to my home,
filling my heart with illumination?

If anybody knows the reason, speak out!
Explain to me why He doesn’t come close.
Why does He stay away?
Though He smiles,
why doesn’t He come near?
Why doesn’t He speak?

I pray and request you all,
this much kindness please offer me.
He for whom I survive,
vibrating with melodies and tunes,
why did He forget me?

Why are You leaving,
crushing with Your feet the garland
that I had threaded for You?
Please tell me.

You shine in the morning sun rays.
You smile in the colours of flowers.
I shall never leave Your shelter.

My energy is but meagre.
My spiritual practice has no strength.
I simply love You
and remain engrossed in You only.

Consider my sincerity, my earnestness,
as golden shackles.

Bundling the entire load of pain in my heart,
the total accumulation of my agony,
I offer a garland of love.

Accept it with a smiling face.
Grace me,
and pull me ever closer unto You.

I keep loving You,
in hundreds of forms,
hundreds of times.

You have come within my reach,
through name, song, melody and tune.

I search You ever closer,
within my inner core.
I never want You at distance.

O god of effulgence,
come closer,
smile in my “I” feeling.

By Your illumination,
and my love,
fill my entire existence.
I want You closely bound
with the rhythmic and resonant twine of love.

With Your divine heavenly effulgence,
thrilling in a moment,
fill me with the sweetness of flute.

O Cowherd of my mind,
remain in my mind!

You pervade and fill
the whole universe,
with nectar-like resonance.
There can be no mistaking it.

You play the charming flute
with a smile in the corner of Your lips.
From Your smile and from Your flute,
light scatters as darkness vanishes.

I think of You again and again.
I think of Your soft sweetness.
With Your external harshness,
You keep softness covered.

Let the victory be Yours, O Shiva!
Selfcreated Lord!
Wielder of all animalistic tendencies!

You are the controller of the primordial
and preprimordial worlds.
With Your long and matted locks of hair,
You witness all minds.
You reside beyond the realm of intellect.

Descending from a realm of effulgence,
You made the three worlds Your abode,
and permeated all with a flow of divine nectar.

You are the Lord of all beginning.
You are ancient and eternal.
I salute You, O supreme benevolence!

You are the controller of the attributional world,
and yet, You remain beyond attributions.
You are the destroyer, controller and creator
of all objects and entities.

You sweetly smile from both within
and beyond the scope of time.
You are the controller and maintainer
of all layers of the cosmic mind!

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

Shiva, Svayambhu (the self created Lord),
Pashupati (the Lord of animals),
the first Lord,
the Lord of the beginninglessness,
Dhurjati (one whose matted lock of hair
is always turned upwards),
the witnessing entity of all microcosmic intellect,
the repository of the universal wisdom
let the victory be Yours!

You originate from the invisible world,
and reside in the three worlds.
You are the one who provides all
with a nectarlike flow of bliss.
You are Adideva Sanatana (imperishable),
Sha'shvata (eternal), Andpuratana (the most ancient).
I salute You, O embodiment of auspiciousness!

You are endowed with all rare qualities.
You are Guna'tiita (beyond attributes),
yet all attributes (sattva, raja and tama) are sheltered in You.

You have no attachment to wealth.
You are the dearest Lord of all created objects and entities.

You are both within and without the scope of time.
You smile in all sweet objects.
You feed the entire creation.
You are the one who maintains all lokas of all created worlds.

Into the dense depth
of the garden of campaka flowers,
You came for my sake.

In Your eyes, love had mingled
and a soft smile lay on Your lips.

The fragrance of campa was floating in the air,
resonating in all the directions of the horizon.
In that fragrance,
with affection and love,
You embedded the essence of nectar.

I was walking through the forest path,
harbouring in my mind the hope of attaining You.
My overwhelming heart did not see You
and our rendezvous remained in mind only.

Our world did not get Your nectar.
What should I say to console myself?

You know that I love You.
You also accept that I survive for You.
Why then do You play Your illusive game?
Ignoring me,
You do not endeavour to understand my mind.

Mentally, You create the world,
and mentally, You pour nectar into it.
You fill all shortages.
You are eternal and beyond thought.

There are no limits to Your attributes.
Your sweetness compares to none.
Your temple is the infinite, blue sky.
Thus, O Lord:
You are beyond place and space!

Now, thoroughly drenched with pains

I weave a web of hope in my heart.

Why did not You understand the language of my inner core?
Why did not You keep Your word after giving it?

Those who survive sing Your victory.
Why do not You pull them towards You?

The floral garland tied around my chignon has slipped off.
The decorative mark on my eyes has been washed off by my tears.
The decorative mark on my forehead,

The flowers have withered away and only thorns are left.
Oh, what net of illusion are You spreading?

Like a blade of grass,
I have floated in Your stream each moment.
Yet only now do I know You.

My body and mind are but due to Your grace.
I come and go struggling with burdens of pain.
O great ocean of nectarial flows,
I am but a meagre drop of Your mercy.

Knowingly or unknowingly, I move along Your path.
Only when in sorrow, do I shout out Your name.
Ideating on You, I forget the burning of my agony.
In Your song, I find unlimited love.

In each corner of mind,
in the depth of thought,
in the decorated garden fragrant with flowers,
I think and speak of You only.
For, You are the honey in my dry life.

The clouds of pessimism come floating in the northeastern corner.
They move away by Your sandal breeze.

Other than You, none is mine.
You are the eternal companion to a lost heart.

Singing His song, He moved on.

In an intoxicating dream,
with a charming face,
He conquered my mind.

How many ages have I been keeping awake for Him!
I have forgotten time, date and years.
But I am unable to forget
that He gave melody and tune to my throat.

Even today I hear His footsteps,
resonating sweetly in the depth of my mind with nectar-like sound
and making me forget innumerable thunders.

It is impossible to forget Him.

He hides within the mind
and listens to unspoken words.

At His charming flute,
the mind floats on,
breaking all boundaries,
sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.
What severe agony is this!

The sound of ankle bells keeps floating,
and to it, with keenness, I constantly listen.
I weave the web of hope with all my heart,
and keep my tray of colours decorated.

Why did You go far away,
leaving me in darkness?

You forgot love.
Such a behaviour cannot be called love.

I do not want the dense darkness of the night.
I want the shining dawn.
I want moonlight in the sweet sky as the day ends.

I want You wholeheartedly,
with feelings, language,
rhythm and melody.

I want You in my vacant home,
on my empty base,
as effulgence,
moistened by my tears.

Into the stream of life,
I have floated the boat of my song.

There exists no bondage of shore whatsoever.
Innumerable rhythms now oscillate in a swing.

Today, there is no backward pull.
The victory trumpet started resonating.
The pessimist heart started decorating itself,
with dance, melody and song.

My past days have returned,
dancing and overwhelming,
telling me that they are now drifting ahead,
having broken down the prison that had kept them locked.

You remain distant and endless like the sky.

You are merged with light and air,
pervading all inside and outside.
In the liberation of my life,
You are within the vibrations of rhythm and song.

It is very difficult to catch You,
as Your beauty fills everything.
In this universe You have no comparison.
You remain above and beyond form and the divine play.

On each face, pour rays of effulgence.
Fill hopes into all broken hearts.
You are for all, and all are Yours.
Let this truth be established.

On all tongues, spread honey,
so that all collectively may sing Your name,
so that dissolving one’s own identity into Your power,
blissfully all may sing Your song.

Although I know that You surround me
You do not come within my reach.

You destroy darkness,
vibrating with rhythm and melody.

My acquaintance with You is not an event of only one life.
To attain You, tears have been dropping era after era.

Today the sky is full of stars,
the sandal breeze carries nectar.

My mind keeps floating towards the unknown.
Under whose ideation does it lose its entire sense of direction?

The lily remains looking at the sky,
The floral pollen blows with aroma.
They are restless, forgetting themselves.

Sitting alone, counting the stars,
I understand that I have lost myself.
I am aware only of that I shall attain the path,
as my pole star is eternally shining.

On that full moon night, I was in deep dream.
In the capital of the delusive Maya, I saw You.

There, the fragrance of flowers was present and filled with sweetness.
There, in the hope of a sweet touch, a bee was hovering.
There, floating continuously all alone, the moon was smiling.

There, the flowers were thornless and there was no downstream tide of life.
There, sandal was pasted in an upward flow,

and coated with it, the nebula kept dancing like a mental peacock.

The fog appeared
and kept You covered for a moment.

Your ray came, the darkness was removed
and the threat of darkness vanished.

O effulgent Virata Purusa,
Your brilliance destroyed the dirt.
That light pervaded each pore of my core with love.

You came alone,
with a smile coated with sweetness.
In seclusion,
that smile conquered me.

For You, tears drop
and for You, I have rehearsed the melody.

Ideating on You, I forget all losses.
For You only, I have threaded my garland.

You are the lamp of my life,
the blooming niipa flower in times of rain.
The mental ketakii flower has bloomed
and its fragrance tells about You.

I have tied the garland to my chignon
and coloured my tray of love.
Thinking of You,
I forget hundreds of burns,
and all pain vanishes.

The topaz-like (a gemstone) shining moonlight says
that it loves Your sweet smile.

Thinking of that smile,
I float in the stream of happiness.

From that smile overflows the flow of life on earth.
Hearts are filled with rhythm and melody,

and all darkness is destroyed.

From the momentary spark of that smile,
shining rubies are scattered.

O mental ruby,
stand before me for a while.
Appear in the world of forms.

The sound of Your flute has made me restless.
My mind cannot tell the difference between time and non-time.

The flute plays to the panchama melody, calling my name.
Without hesitating, I rush towards it.

My mind cannot concentrate on work,
I constantly hear the flute sing its dangerous melodies.

I am determined not to listen to it anymore.
No matter how much it calls, I will turn away.

But alas, I cannot help but to hear it.
And when I do, I become filled with remorse.
How shall I get rid of this bothersome sound?

why don’t You come in real life?

By pouring light onto the sunrise,
why do You remove its sweetness?

Whenever I think of You,
my mind floats adrift, breaking all limitations.
The rhythms of microcosm and macrocosm
become attuned to one another and dance.

I shall keep thinking of You my whole life
and with Your ideation I shall forget all pains.
I know that the success of life
lies by the stream of love.

My whole life I have been searching You.
Where are You keeping Yourself hidden?

I saw that You are not present at the banks of rivers,
nor in forests or on mountains and places of pilgrimage.

Nothing is ever wasted.
I shall certainly search and find You.
With tearful eyes,
I shall look at You in my home
and find You outside wherever You remain.

Many lives have gone by.
Many springs have I cried.
Much infatuation has pulled me back.
Encompassing all, You fill my heart.

It is hard to understand You by intellect.
You are beyond logic and reason,
above infatuation and the illusive maya.
You are the unlimited ocean of intuition.

Those under the influence of intense ego
cannot recognise You even on observation.
Under the net of Your illusive maya
they get entangled again and again further in their own ego.

Their ears are unable to listen
and they move on the wrong path
under the influence of their wrong thinking.
You are the polestar, unwilling to accept their darkness.

You are my object of meditation and contemplation,
the consciousness of my mind
in incantation and the singing of Your name.
My sadhana is for the removal of my defects
and fills me with ideation.

You do not decay.
O one beyond time and place,
have mercy on each person.

I do not know whether I exist or not,
but You are there,
pouring forth illumination.

My light is like that of a firefly,
You are like the brilliant sun.

I have taken shelter at Your feet.
You are the great provider of shelter.
You are the great vitality in inert and living beings,
You destroy darkness both within and without.

There is no one outside You.
All are within You.
You are the only shelter of all.
Coming and smiling mentally,
leave the end in the mind only.

Come into my life as its illuminating lamp.
Come into the casket of my mind.

Come, bringing heavenly effulgence,
and pour love into my vacant mind.

You are my knowledge and object of meditation,
my personal God and my goal.

You are sweet, pleasing like heaven
and the controller of destiny.

Your ideation,
that sweet awareness of Yours,
fills my dry life with nectar.

I move on,
holding on to Your path,
keeping Your love in my bosom,
remembering Your name continuously,
to the point where I shall merge into the river of devotion.

You keep constant eye-to-eye vigil.
Yet why don’t You come close?

From a distance, You smile softly.
Yet why don’t You say something?

By Your love,
the earth becomes full of illumination.
By bringing sweetness to life,
You destroy the darkness of inertia.

Your sweet smile and agitating flute,
enter my inner core
and convey You love.

O Lord!

Your light and air fulfils all desires.
No want is left.
You are present in the moonlight.
You shine in the darkness of night.
In spring, You are the honey in the pollen of flowers.

You are also present in the burning and intense heat of the sun.
You are present in garlands of juhi and malati flowers.
Those eyes that had been shedding tears for You, now possess only joy.

On a rainy night,
silently and all by Yourself,
You secretly came.

The doors of my home had been bolted.
Neither was there any opening in the windows.
You stood drenched from the storms.
Your eyelids were covered with rain.

Standing at the door,
You knocked with Your hand.
My mind startled.

At that time, I did not respond.
I was in deep sleep, devoid of consciousness.
I did not tie the guest,
who had come after ages,
with bonds of love.

You removed the dirt of my mind
and did not expect anything in return.

By making me Your own,
You took away my load.

You took the deep darkness
and poured Your light upon me.

You told:
”Move on my path with speed.
Just see, you shall not find any difficulty.”

I told:
“Everything is Yours.
I find new life within You.
By giving my all,
I attain Your love.
Yet, You still do not take anything.”

still I am Yours.

This microcosmic heart utterly keeps swinging in Your stream.

I do not know whether I am a sinner or not.
I only know that I shall never move away from Your path.
I continue going and coming.

I cry and smile.
I remember You.

I know that You are ever with me,
watching me both individually and collectively.
Keep me under Your shelter,
by extending Your causeless grace.

When You came,
the sun was rising in the eastern sky.

The bee was actively searching nectar
on colourful flowers.

At that time, sitting all by myself,
I was engrossed in threading a garland,
with tied up locks of hair,
in the hope of Your coming close.

You did not come till midday.
The flowers had become dull and had dropped
and were withering away.
I kept sitting till evening,
speechlessly absorbed in a game of colours.

O Lord,
You are the beloved one of all.
In the universe,
You have no comparison.

O formless one,
in Your world of forms,
I am unable to find any shortage.

There is neither coming nor going for You, never ever.
You are eternal, immeasurable and unlimited.

You existed in the past,
You exist now,
You will remain in the future.
That is why I long to remain under Your shelter.

All the three worlds are filled with Your illumination.
By Your love the mind becomes restless.

There can be neither comparison nor exemplification of Yours.
Thus I beg for Your ever merciful shelter.

Amidst the smile of flowers
and the accumulation of moonlight,
You told,

“I only love.
I do not know hatred.
I do not heed to obstacles.
I come rushing forth at the call of the heart.

I am sweeter than sweetness.
I am dearest to your life.
I remain ever awake for all,
destroying fear with the torch of love.

I control and punish for the benefit of all.
Nothing of me is without cause or reason.
I may appear hard but my lap is like a flower.
I smile within external coverings.”

The clouds came carrying the various colours of Your light.
They disappeared floating away.

With the sweet touch of sandal breeze,
the mental peacock danced.

The blackness that had accumulated in the mind since ages,
vanished totally by Your beauty and power of love.

O great composer,
You have charmed the world!
O beautician,
You have decorated it beautifully!

From the tinkling notes of the strings of Your viina,
O what sweetness is scattered!

On which morning,
brightened with sun rays,
did we meet in the eastern horizon?

In my hand was a floral garland to place around Your neck.

There was no third person in the world.
Neither was there any desire of achievement.
Only us two, You and I, were there.
Looking at me with smiling eyes, You laughed.

You told me,
”I shall come whenever you desire.
When an earnest will appears in the depth and core of your mind,
look inside.

Do not see the outside.”
Telling this much, You went away silently.

O spring,
with flowers,
in the hue of your fire,
colour the whole earth!

Not only in the forest,
in my mental garden too,
leave your impression.

You came after the inertia of winter,
and bloomed flowers layer by layer.
In the free air and the free sky,
sing the song of the great merger.

O spring,
stay for some days,
reduce the heat of the intense sun.
Pause your movement,
until the days when the viina shall again play the sound of tinkling rain.

You came, loved and decorated the earth with diverse colours.

You did not want anything.
You gave all
and filled the depth of minds.

You are unique in form,
immeasurable in attributes,
unlimited in vibrations of the soul.

When I think of You,
and float in Your name,
You lift me unto Your lap
and wipe away my tears.

I shall never forget You,
and never wipe You from my mind.
I shall not keep two moons in the firmament of my mind.

You are the essence of all essences.
You are unlimited bliss in a single moment.
You conquer minds and life.

In Your proximity,
amidst the fragrance of flowers,
my mind floats,
time and again, time and again.

I cannot ever forget Your mercy.
My eyes want to see only You.

On which past crimson morning,
did I come onto Your earth?
By Your grace and love,
I keep performing actions in this world.

I cannot live without thinking of You.
You are my spiritual endeavour and destination.
I do not know the past or the future.
You know all.

You are mine and only mine.
irrespective of whether or not You accept this fact.

You are in life and death,
residing in the depth of my mind, O Lord.

Looking at the past,
I do not find any beginning.
Coming from Your thought waves,
I stop and stay.

When looking towards the end,
there too, I see Your vastness only.
You are the ocean, I am a stream.
I keep merging in You,
carrying with me pain and pleasure.

Do You understand or not, O Lord,
my sincere longing and the intoxication of my mind?

On that shiny full moon night,
I was alone amidst the intense night.
There was no second body beside me,
when You came with silent footsteps.

You came without saying anything.
You poured out a flow of love
but did not take anything in return.
I could not speak about my mental feelings.
The words of my heart remained in my mind only.

I cannot understand at all,
Your divine play, O Beloved!
Your coming and smiling, was it a mere delusion?
This time, when You come,
I shall hold You in my home
and make You stay in my smiling mental world.

You came on a cloudy night, unseen by all.

I was in a closed house.
Outside, it was raining.

The dense conglomeration of clouds
had covered the smile of the moon,
mutually and silently
mixing with my mental darkness.

You came rain-drenched
and opened the bolt of my door.
You made me Your own
by the tinkling of Your viina.

You filled all the seven layers of the mind
with Your own self.
You dance on the hundred-petalled lotus.

Symbolising hopes and aspirations,
O beloved,
You remain vibrant in everyone’s life.

In this world You have no comparison.
Irrespective of whether my eyes are open or closed,
whichever direction I look at,
I do not find anything permanent or eternal besides You.
You pour Your divine effulgence

upon the faces of those who are hopeless and dejected.

I see You in the intense and dark night.
I find You in the sweet moonlight.
You are with me all the time,
in both happiness and hopelessness.
You are excellence amongst the best.

Who are You who entered my mind?
I am unable to recognise You.

You came pouring out light.
You went away saying You would return.

It is impossible to forget You.
You swung the core of my heart.
I sit alone with a garland in hand to place around Your neck.

Your charming smile stirs my being.
Your sweet memory resonates even today.

I love You.
I cry and laugh for You only.
I want You close day and night,
amidst an affluence of tears.

With glowing series of flashes,
You came into this three-layered world.

Having removed the fatigue of the path
and mistakes of understanding,
You provided peace of mind.

No more darkness remains
and the lotus of pain does not wither away anymore.
Offering my mental worship,
You secludedly remain in my mind.

Cool lightning dances in life.
Each person found consciousness.
Floating amidst illumination,
in the free sky,
all started moving unto You.

I want You in the depth of my mind as unbarred free sky.

I want You with me day and night.
Please never leave me!

I am a metal particle and You are the touchstone.
Consider me helpless and turn me into gold.
Stay close to me,
amidst pain and pleasure.
Do not leave me.

I love You, You are my Lord.
You are beginningless and endless, You are self-created.
Thinking of You, I forget all shortages.

O sweet stream of compassion!

Even staying afar,
I always keep You in my eyes.
Through light and shade,
You keep coming and going.

The bee came humming into the floral garden.
Tell me why.
Did it come into the floral garden or into the mental garden?

Due to it,
the smile of the moon and the joy of flowers began to overflow.

Today the sky and the air are intoxicated
and rise up with colourful decoration.
Whose sound was found
in the lonely tune of the strings of the viina?

Why did the bee suddenly come today
and sat down on the mental flower?
It stays till the end of everything.
Why so? Who knows?

The intoxicating wind blew through the sweet garden.
Who provided the jerk, making me swing,

and then went away?

I seem to know I recognise Him.
I know Him to some extent.
At the end, I assume Him close.

He dwells in fire as its burning power.
He remains as whiteness in its whiteness.
He stays in the mental casket
and mingles with the light-scattering morning.

He lives as the moving power in electricity
and as colourful love in coloured mornings.
He scattered love throughout the world.
I do not know where in the world He is not.

my mind floats on.
I do not know where.

Thought after thought,
I keep estimating and speaking to myself.
Yet peace does not come to mind.

You have given me beyond expectation.
But all this wealth,
I hold and want to enhance.
What for, alas, I do not know.

I went on making mistakes after mistakes.
I never wanted to look towards consciousness.
Today, I attained Your illumination,
thus breaking all bondages.

You are everyone’s most beloved.
In this world, You are One without a second.

You destroy the darkness of mind
and the fog of the world,
and with the torch of knowledge,
You remove my ignorance.

Many ages have passed in the flow of creation.
Many stars have fallen innumerable times.
Many cries and smiles,
many comings and goings,
have taken place at Your feet,
O revered One!

How many dark and moonlit nights,
how many streams of joy and rivers of sorrows,
how many kinds of achievements
and how many desires on unsatisfied faces,
keep dancing and surrounding You!
O One to be ever remembered!

In the distant sky,
in the evening sea,
whose sparks come floating?

What do they say?
What message do they carry?
They speak through gesture and not through language.

I am unable to understand all this.
I cannot hold that call in my mind.
It comes and goes,
and hides in my eyelids.
I then understand that He loves me.

Whose particles of sparks are they?
Who is that Purusa,
who snatches the mind and destroys all dirt?

Even after getting Him close,
I do not attain Him.
Even after knowing Him,
I do not understand Him.
I understand only that He pervades all,
that He remains mingled within all.

I do not carry a load of virtues.
Hence I beg You for Your grace without cunningness.

My confidence and shelter is Your boon of fearlessness (Varabhaya Mudra).
I have no other than You.

I have originated in Your creative phase.
My shelter is within Your shade.
In Your tranquility lies my final death,
terminating the revolution of coming and going.

The happiness of my life takes place by Your mercy.
Without You, unbearable sorrow is left.
The notes that You play on strings of my viina
amount to all the flows of nectar on earth.

Through the smiling moonlight,
You came into my mind and loved me.
I do not remember what I said.

I am the microcosm and You are the Macrocosm.
I am limited on all sides.
Everyone in this world knows Your unlimited, infinite glory.

My desires and achievements,
give importance to that which is meagre.
Make me Your own
through rhythm, melody, tune and sound.

The fairy came to the flower garden,
and gave intoxication by its fragrance.

All the bees that were sleeping
awakened by that fragrance and came rushing forth.

In the depth of my mental garden,
He smiles each moment.
What tinkling note resounds from His flute and by His smile!

I am unable to forget Him.
In this world, He has no comparison.
Beyond thought,
He, adorned in beauty and attributes,
came into my fold.

I continued searching You,
walking from path to path,
in forests, mountains and riverbanks,
wandering through places of pilgrimage
and in the meanings of the scriptures.

But I did not find You face to face anywhere.
No vibration arose in my consciousness.
Moving about continuously like a machine,
I called You with profound tears.

Keeping my eyes blinded with a piece of cloth,
I used to perform fasting, take vows, and so on.
Yet, the one for whom all these arrangements were made,
I never searched within.

On the play stage of my life,
Who are You, coming so suddenly?

I do not recognise or know You.
Still, You gave me consolation and confidence.

The distance between You and me
is like that of an atom and the Himalayas.
Still, You came close to me,
and gave hope to my broken heart,
O magnanimous One.

I see You again and again,
sometimes near and sometimes far away.
You have scattered Yourself in hundreds of styles,
removing darkness with illumination.

I have no other except You.
Everyone's fate lies with You.
So please look at me with gracious eyes.

I come to this earth again and again.
How many times I have left this earth I cannot say.
Everything exists in Your mind.
And that is why You are most adorable.

Tell me, what can I give You?

At the end, He told me,
with a smile flowing pearls:
“I do not want your physical items.
Tell me what it is your heart desires.”

And compassionately, purify my mind.

I am stupefied by own repentance.
Engross me in Your ideation,
affectionately, each moment.

Enlighten me by Your thought,
keeping Your lamp in front of me.
In the illumination of that lamp,
secretly and in isolation, shape me.

You decorated the forest with fruits and flowers.
Who are You?
You entered my being without speaking, without telling anything.

Your coming and going,
Your sweet smile,
have captured my mind without me being aware of it.

You kept me surrounded by hundreds of styles.
You poured on me Your love and song.
I know You are mine,
but I am unable to hold You.
You float on in the flow of Your divine play.
What sort of acting is this?

You may be known
but it is not possible to hold You.
With meagre capacity,
it is difficult to understand You.
Mercifully, You pull me unto Your ocean of effulgence,
with immeasurable and unlimited rhythm,

with beats and melody.

Why did You not respond?

I do not call You in my core.
Due to shyness I become dumb.

You are with me in light and darkness.
You surround me amidst happiness and misery.
You are dear and adorable to all.
Yet You do not come close.
What type of love is this?

You existed in my beginning
and that of everyone else.
You are present in the middle
and will remain in the end.
I cannot survive without You.
Hence, I beg for Your mercy.
Ideating on You, I lose myself.

carrying the flame of Your torch into the dark house.

Some people recognised You, some did not.
Some knew and some did not.
Some came close with love, some did not.

But irrespective of whether people come or not, You call all.

Some say You are merciful.
Some say You should not be so harsh.
Sweet in a moment,
You create annihilation in another and make tears flow.

In the sandal breeze

In their mental, physical and spiritual spheres,
all long for that moonlight.

the sweet spring danced.
In that environment,

my mind floated away far and further still.

I wanted to look closely and closer still,
as the moon kept playing with the clouds.

how did You live?
Secretly tell me about it.
That garland of Your words,
I shall keep at the root of my memory’s altar.

Everything good and bad

When we first met each other,
my mind does not remember.

I have mindlessly forgotten the day, date and time
and whether it was morning or evening.

With the rhythm of movement, time flows.
It does not stop due to obstruction whatsoever.
The evening sets,
the moon also sets.
You alone keep smiling.

Ages past ages come and go.
The sun set is again seen.
The lost heart reattains life by Your grace.
Who does not know this?

bestowed the pollen of life.

However much I think I will forget,
I just cannot.
Like a restless deer,
my mind remains engrossed in Your love and affection.
O beloved, O adorable one, come!

I am waiting for You only.

Coming and going is for all.
Our presence takes place only for a moment,
and within the twinkling of eye.
I beg for Your grace.
Fill my eyes with permanent and one pointed illumination.

In the flower garden,
all by myself,
I sat, waiting for You.

Amidst the chirping of birds
and the fanning of a sandal breeze,
I called You and told:

“I have no second moon in my sky.
My mind floats in Your smiling moonlight.
It cries and smiles
and surrounds You in pain and pleasure,
O Lord!

I have loved You in life and death,
in each moment of my existence.
Remembering You,
I float in tears,
in my mental temple,
again and again.”

Losing the path in the forest that evening,
I cried.
And You knew it.

I asked You to show me the direction.
And You accepted that I love You.

The dark cloud had covered the moon.
And so had the leaves and flowers on the branches of trees.
The lamp that had been with me,

became extinguished.

I called You in the dark.
And You heard it.

You came and removed all those obstructing leaves and branches
and blew far away the black clouds in the sky.

Coming close,
You held my hand without the least hesitation.

I told:
”Stop the wheel of Your cart,

Do not make me waste my call.
Consider my prayer.”

I further told:
“Come still closer.
I have many more things to tell You.
They have remained accumulated for ages
because You did not listen.”

You came into my eyes with gentle steps.
Nobody shall ever knows this.

Wholeheartedly, in my arbor,
You gave me Your pure love.

That day has passed long ago.
It floated away in beauty, colour and melody.
Today I survive due to Your grace,
fructifying my sadhana, my spiritual endeavour.

The event of that day remains in my mind till today.
Its memory dances in my mind even now.

You came and went, leaving love.
In this world You have no comparison.

You came bestowing mercy upon me.

My door had been closed at that time.
With You own hands, You opened the door bolt.

Into the creeper that had been drying up,
into the bud of love that had been withering,
You bloomed flowers and fulfilled hopes.
I attained You with all my heart.

Do not go!
Stay near!
Many more things I have to say.
Many songs I shall sing.
Many painful agonies I shall express to You.
About it all, I have to speak to You.

Your stage is vast.
Within it I am a meagre particle.
Tell me,
other than knowing and recognising You,
what else should I want?

The answer to this “why?” is not with me.
That is why, O Dearest,
I enquire from You.
Come close and sit in my meditation,
thereby letting me know.

On that day’s evening,
You and I had been sitting under a bakul tree.

Under the smile of moon and in the soft fragrance,
I floated along the cheerful sway of melody.

You told:
”See, I have come,
crossing the very harsh desert,
crossing the high mountain,
listening to your call in the blue sky.”

Thereafter we never met again.
That fractional moon did not reappear in the sky.
That mark of beauty in the flower,
which You had applied to it that day,
I did not see again.

I constantly remember You.
Tell me what I shall do, forgetting You?
For You only I live and die.
Therefore, keep me absorbed in Your ideation.

Keep witnessing me with colour and fragrance,
in the darkness of night,
and in all my good and bad,
in pain and pleasure,
with smiling illumination in the world of feelings.

You came with silent steps,
making flowers bloom in diversities of colours.

You poured a smile on the faces of the stars
by swimming through the darkness of sky and ocean.

The sandal breeze came from the south.
The northern wind came with snowy clouds.
You placed the entire world,
below Your feet
with rhythm, beats and dances.

Whatever exists in this three-sphered world,
everything dances surrounding You,
everything dances within Your mind.
All beg for Your mercy non-stop.
All know You as their dearest one.

O Lord,
it is difficult to understand Your divine game, Your liila.
Sometimes You make us smile,

sometimes You make us cry.
You do not allow Yourself to be understood well.

You come running from the bosom of heaven
and silently stay in the deep recess of the mind.
Unseen, You destroy all darkness.
You know what everyone is doing and thinking.

You move through the eternal game, Your liila,
with Your cart.
The way You go becomes the path.
All theories and principles come but to merge in You.
All schools and modes of music sing but Your song.

The cart on which You move,
has been constructed with mental gems.

The path that You have selected,
is surrounded by constant light.

You do not want anything from anyone.
You keep giving to whoever wants anything.
You are full of lustre and brilliance,
wearing golden ankle bells
as well as permanent and temporary heaps of articles.

What else is there for me to give You?
Whatever belongs to me is not actually mine.
Were I to consider Your articles as mine,
I would become lost in my own ego.

flowing around me closely.
But why then don’t You look at me?

I am sitting here,
looking at the path with hopes of Your arrival,
counting moments and ever awake with each breath.
O merciless one,
why do You afflict pain on me?
Why don’t You understand my mental agony?

Listen to my story and forget the divine game.
Do not pour more pain onto this helpless mind.
I survive by Your grace,
and beg for Your mercy.

In my mental arbor,
through song after song,
You brought about resounding rhythm.

Those who dwelled in far off, unknown melodies,
came close and mingled with life.

The melody that You sung, fulfilling my heart
with the fragrance of rhythmic metrical quality,
with the total collection of all inner sweetness,
its memory remains in the forest of the mind.

In the three worlds there is no other entity besides You.
You have scattered Yourself into the resonance of melody.
You were present in the past and exist now dancing in each atom.
You remain present in each pore as the garden of love.

After light, darkness comes.
At the end of darkness, light comes.

The peacock of mind that cries today,
smiles and spreads its wing tomorrow.

Keep this essence of reality in mind.
Life is not just wastefulness.
Light is there, darkness is also there.
Sweetness and poison are mixed together.

This earth is surrounded by light.
It is full of colourful paper balloons.
They provide satisfaction and consolation to the heart.
Yet, they come through shade.

Although You have floated me into tears,
I love You.

I poured out all the honey I had
and You just smiled without accepting it.

There is no comparison to this mercilessness.
You do not look back again.
And even seeing it, You ignore me.
Still I call You, without forgetting.
I only forget that You have kept me forgotten.

I am meagre, surrounded by limitations.
All my activities are confined to a limited sphere only.
You are great, unlimited, the highest.

Why do You carry on Your divine play in this way?

With charming adornments,
coming into my mind this morning,
who are You?

Even after recognising You,
it is impossible to understand You properly,
due to You changing Your form each moment.

When I think that I have recognised and known Your real form,
the next moment,

by impinging a blow,
You make it clear that I am unable to understand You.

When ego arises in my mind,
the desire for getting honour also arises.
You make me understand
that in this muddy house everything is destructible
and will be destroyed in course of time.

You came and made the world revolve.

With Your own hand,
You made the bud of sleeping minds bloom.

With the sound of Your ankle bell,
life aroused in inert and animated beings.
In the deep corner of the sleeping mind,
You aroused will.

Within Your vibration,
in all desires and achievements,
all the sincere desires of mind get satiated,
if You wish it so,
O beloved!

He has come in the form of a bee,
not into the garden of flowers,
but into the garden of my mind.
From my mental blossom,
He extracts sweet nectar.

I have been waiting for You for ages together.
By attaining You today, all my hopes were fulfilled.

You have always been with me,
yet it had never been written down in history.
My mind laughs and cries.
It sings and dances for You only.

On this autumnal evening,
amidst the sandal breeze,
my mind longs to attain You.

It drifts into the sky
intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers
and the smile of the moon.

Today I have lost all bondages and obstacles.
For You I have shed away all fear and shyness.
Into the free sphere,
where birds fly,
my mind floats.

At each step there used to be obstruction of inertial dogma.
I had not been able sing that carefully rehearsed song of liberation.
Alas, forgetting the song,

and ignoring the tune,
I had been sleeping in a prison.

I want You in my meditation.
Do come to my mind and life!

On the altar of my mental garden,
having decorated it with flowers,
I sit,
awaiting You.

There is no end to desires.
Hence, remain ever close to me.
O eternal touchstone,
look at me!

Attaining You,
language becomes stupefied
and hope is fulfilled.

Above desire and achievement,
floats Your song,
the satisfying current in the stream of melody.

Along the frenzied breeze,
in a sweet dream,
who are You who came on this auspicious moment?

I could not recognise You.
I did not call You close.
I did not invite You to stay in my mental garden.

I did not know You were my own,
the nearest amongst our own ones,
the collection of all love.

Today my heart begs for You,
for Your vicinity,
O beloved,
amidst this charming and intense mental vibration.

If only You were to come down mercifully,
to remain with me forever.

You are the water in the intense sun
and the warming fire in the snowy winter.

Stay as softness with a smiling face.

I wanted You in each action of mine.
I never wanted You from a distance only.
Why then do You stay away from me?

I have not been able to understand
that You are so close,
filling my whole existence
both within and without.

Due to the call of inertia,
again and again,
I had forgotten my purpose and vow.
I had forgotten the path and Your work.

Now tears flow and hopelessness arises.
Why had I been wastefully thinking of only my own self?

Today, like the scent of the ketakii flower in times of rain,
the fragrance of my heart floats into the sky,

piercing the darkness.
It floats towards infinity, looking for You.

Through the gaps of dark clouds,
He provides glimpses of the ray of hope.

Life is not only dark.
Both good and bad are mixed in it.

One who is hated today
and considered worse than a human being,
may become a god tomorrow,
if the Lord,
the ocean of grace,
wants so.

Those who are rich and respected today,
whose formidable might is heard,
tomorrow may be crushed to dust,
if the Lord becomes unfavourable.

I have been loving You
with beauty,
colour and melody.
I have been longing for You
within my intuitive faculty.

Yet, You did not look at me.
You did not respond to my call.
You remained immeasurably far.

My wishes prove negligible before You.
My attainments are likewise valueless for You.
Whatever gem I screen from the ocean, You ignore.

Dear one,
I am a particle,
You are Greatness.
I remain engrossed in mean things
while You perform greatest deeds.

Your existence is with millions and millions of unit “I”s.
Who can understand You?

In the moist breeze,
with smiling lips,
You came to my home.

My eyes were filled with tears of bliss.

I did not ask You to come in and sit down.
You took Your seat by Yourself
and enquired about my welfare.
The love that You offered
was full of floral fragrance.

The moist breeze came again this time,
making Your song resound in my ears.
In a momentary thrill and with unobstructed illumination,
it made me float in an ocean of melodies.

O polestar of my life,
You fill my core.
Losing myself in Your beautiful form,
I merge into the infinite.

You came into my mind.

Who will ever know that
You smiled like the brilliant moon?

Whatever closed doors there were, opened up.
The free flowing air entered through the window.
You made me know the unknown.
Our acquaintance was made in seclusion.

You are as secret as the cascade in my mind.
In the crowded world,
You only are my own.
Whether You be near or far,
You remain in my mind,
ever filling its sweet dream.

eras have passed.

Now tell about Your gospel,
so that on hearing it,
my ears may become satiated.

To listen to that single fact,
many lives I have remained awake.
For the glimpse of that single smile,
my mind aspires.

I shall no longer talk about myself,

O great ocean,
towards You,
this small point,
this unit “I”,
shall rush!

You brought illumination,
dissolving into it Your effulgent Self.

You do not distinguish between who is learned and who is not.
You indiscriminately pour the nectar of Your grace on the afflicted.

He doesn’t know his own role and purpose.
He doesn’t want to find the real cause.
He does everything without purpose.
He considers the distant one close and the near one far.
He doesn’t know that You reside within his core.

You know what purpose each one has.
You bring the heat of summer,
the cold of winter
and You bring rains.
You provide language and hope to the dumb.
You perform all works all alone.

In the wheels of Your cart, there is unlimited speed.

The brilliance that You scattered in all directions,

By awakening within all a sincere will,
along Your rhythm,
lead all towards perfection.

Holding on to the path of effulgence,
those who have come a long way,
occupy a place within You.

To think that they are lost is a mistake.
They vibrate still on that oscillating swing,
on the latitude of memory,
along the rays of the sun.

Amidst those never ending and ever recurring losses,
I wonder what there is that does not get lost.

You exist with the great Tandava dance,
taking along with You the entire world.

You remain in light
and in the pores of darkness.
Whether there be shortage and abundance of devotion,
with a subtle smile,

You resonate within everyone’s core.

in the essence of flowers,
in the moonlit sky,
come.
Come in dance, song, rhythm
and in the tunes of melody.
Come intimately into my restless mind
when I deeply long and think of You.

I shall not worry, should You be unable to come.
I only wish to attain You close.
You are present in the expanse of the blue sky.
In my sky, do know that there is no second moon.
In my hope, You remain merged.

And whether there be pain or pleasure,

You are dear to me and dear to all.

In this frenzied sandal breeze,
full of sweet fragrance,
alongside with the bela and bakul flowers in the garden,
the bud of campa has lost itself.

To attain You, my heart is restless.
My small stream overflows on both banks.
Sacrificing and surrendering to One,
the hope of my love oscillates on a swing.

Come with silent feet, dearest,
onto those multi-coloured spring flowers.
Come, scattering Your golden effulgence,
with a smiling mind,
intensely,
into my consciousness.

You came to this poor man’s hut,
oblivious of the path and the date.
Why, I do not know.

I do not have any strength of sadhana,
nor the virtue of any good deeds.
But even so, You came.
This is but Your causeless grace.

What I could have never imagined,
You have today turned into actual reality, in this life of mine.
Affectionate to the devotees,

You pour forth Your grace,
not being able to bear my tearful eyes.

Calling You again and again,
my throat has become sore.
Contemplating on You,
I cry day and night.
With compassion,
and by mistakenly treading a wrong path,
You came today,
with an overflowing fountain of divine effulgence.

You secretly carry out Your work,
without expecting anything in return.

You keep playing Your game of hide and seek
with those who seek You.

You illuminate darkness
by providing infinite light to pitch blackness.
You are the bridge between life and death
that one crosses while You remain hidden.

You are hope to hopelessness.
You are the colourful dawn at the end of the night.
You show the direction to those who have lost the path,
You scatter Your light of love in all direction.

If You really love me
then please come down to this poor man’s hut.
My mental viina is tuned to Your melody,
to sing for You with all my heart.

I do not have knowledge or intellect.
Nor do I have any accumulation of virtue or glory.
Only love and dedication to You do I possess,
by the offering of which I shall satisfy You.

I do not command honour, prestige or respect.
I do not entertain egoistic attitudes towards You.
Only the obligation to accept Your gifts do I have,
which to me You gave with causeless grace.

Why do You stay away?

You maintain this three-layered universe intoxicated.
You keep light glowing on the dark path.

Everything of Yours is limitless.
The sweetness of existence is ineffaceable.
Flooding the viina with songs, tunes and melody,
You incessantly call all onto the proper path.

I am Yours and You are mine.
My abode is on all the shining stars.
Freeing myself from the bonds of place, time and person,
I rest.

Do not You see that?

on that line,
I saw You.

Navigating the darkness,
taking up pains,
hearing my call,
You came there.

You did not tell me even once
how much pain You took for me.
With a sweet smile and coloured lips
You made my heart Your abode.

How many days have since passed!
How many ages have gone by!
The memory remains merged in my core.
Storms came.
Meteors fell.
And yet, even after undergoing the injury of lighting,
I did not forget.

On that cyclonic night,
You came into the blooming shefali garden
and entered my mind.

I was then sitting unmindfully in my house with doors closed.
The roaring storm was raging and battling.

My afflicted mind began to shiver.
The flower-laden branches were breaking down and cried in distress.

Falling into the water, many flowers got lost.
With an intoxicating smell their fragrance floated away.
To which unknown world they had left,

I am wondering ever since.

You became form
and filled the depths of my mind.

You broke down the fences of place, time and person
and made everyone Your own.
You never want anything.
You only give.

You are the only moon
in the firmament of everyone’s mind.
Like honey that covers the inner petals of flower,
You emanate life.

I am unable to forget You by any means.
You beautify the earth in ever new forms.
Into whatever direction I look,
I see You shine.
You cannot hide.

On this autumnal evening,
amidst dropped shefali flowers,
my mind uncontrollably sings of Your attributes.

Thoughts and feelings beyond language keep floating.
It is difficult to contain them all.

Life after life,
I have been singing songs
in which love and hope were present.
I was dishonoured
and cried out aloud heartbreakingly.
When I think of what was there and what was not,
I sadden.

The same autumn has again come to life
and wants to make You sit in the arbor of my mind.
It wants to please You with sweet expressions
through rhythm, beats, melody and tunes.

Overflowing its banks,
You appeared in my inner core.

Nothing compares to You.
You smile with beautifully coloured lips.

Whatever I can or cannot imagine,
be it tiny or great,
does not compare to You.
In the world beyond thoughts,
You dance with a unique illumination,
with charming smiles and gestures.

The intellect is unable to know You.
Those filled with infatuation are unable to see You.
In the flow of Your imagination,

You mercifully appear before whoever wishes to merge in You.

This evening,
at the sea shore,
the sun sets with hues of red and pink.

All the pain and fatigue of the day,
the illusion of innumerable desires and achievements,
the detailed accounts of taking and giving -

it all pours into the water of the sea.

The colourful morning will certainly return,
at the end of the night,
scattering golden light
in the beauty of the eastern sky
and carrying with it the remnants of blows and counter blows.

Beloved,
You did not come.
Hence I have no more liking for this moonlight.

What is the purpose of decorating a fish with pearl crown
if it does not find its nest?

Today my adornment is a bed of thorns.
In my gestures,
shyness abounds.
My eyes, my mind,
my vitality and my marrow all cry.
What have You done to me by not coming!
O most beloved!

With the moon merely sitting in the sky,
I am bereft of purpose.
I want the moon of the firmament of my mind.
I want it close to me.
With feelings churned,
I sing my song with rhythm, melody and beats.

that had darkened amidst soft and moist clouds.

You came with vibrant light
and appeared in the mirror of my mind.

From Your smile, pearls scattered.
By Your flute, the world got up dancing.
With the red colour of Your lips,
the eastern sky was coloured.

The night passed,
the new dawn came.
Human minds attained the morning light.
You poured out Your love,
with sweet rhythm and charming bliss.

Churning the collection of all beauty,
I shall adore You.

Lives after life have passed,
many a nebula has become a star,
many a flower petal has withered away,
across ages and worlds.

The heavenly flow of nectar has descended.
With rhythm, melody and tunes,
sweetness has appeared.
Amidst charming and blissful rhythms

Today, in the evening sky,
amidst the dreamy moonlight,
whose footsteps are being heard?

Is the One for whom I have been searching for ages after ages
coming towards me today?

In innumerable living bodies,
many times I came
and knowingly or unknowingly I loved Him.
I went underwent pains and pleasures
numerous cries and smiles.
After a long time,
I understood His mercy.

He is the ocean of mercy,
the light of love.
He comes in embodied form, decorated in brilliant adornment.
Some people say that He does not appear in the outer world
but shines instead in the heart of devotees.

Our initial introduction to one another,
when and how it happened,
nobody but You knows.

The proximity between microcosm and Macrocosm is known to all.
Do accept that.

Leaving the Macrocosm,
the microcosm cannot survive.
If the microcosm is not there,
the Macrocosm too becomes nonexistent.
Sweetness and beauty takes place due to both.
Both blend together to become one.
Why don’t You accept this fact?

You are present in all spheres,
and beyond the world, as pure effulgence.
Each moment becomes rhythmic with bliss.
You lie hidden within the mind,
and taking the mind,
You perform Your divine game.
Why then don’t You pay heed to the affairs of the mind,
even after hearing them?

In which land do You dwell
and with which dress are You decorated?

Will there be no illumination of Yours in my inner being?

Day and night,
with song and meditation,
I remember You with all my heart.
The bud of hope would oscillate in swing
if You suddenly called me from nearby.

There is nothing that can be called my own.
The world is filled with Your belongings only.
I too am Yours.
And yet, even after knowing this essence of truth,
You keep me away.

Where did this fountain flow come from?
That origin of life?
Tell me, O Lord.

O self created Lord,
Svayambhu,
only You know where I came from
and where I shall go.

I come and go.
There is no end to this movement.
Without fixation or bar,
I rush towards the unknown.
Why did I come and why should I go?
The proper answer to this “why” is never found.

I know that my coming and going takes place around You.
I shall return to the point I came from only.

I float in the flow of Your divine game with deep breath.
Thus, O Lord, I never forget You.

There is no record
of when in the past our initial introduction took place.

That day,
the stars, the planets and the galaxies,
were all lost.
We did see but did not recognise each other.

My mental peacock had not yet learned how to dance.
There was no expression of loving talk, conversation or gesture.
Only desire remained.

That peacock, today,
spreads its tail
and wants to dance around You.
It oscillates with rhythm
and loves without cherishing anything in exchange.

You are the soothing ointment on all my burns.
Come close, come still closer.

My mind constantly searches You.
Come into my songs,
into all my actions
and into my silent meditation.
Touch my restless heart.

I have no capability.
I therefore beg for Your kind grace.
I am unable to fathom You by reason and logic.
Grace me and appear before me in charming adornment.

Floral fragrance keeps floating.
Whom does it long to satisfy?
Towards which unknown place does it dance?

It had been imprisoned in the nucleus of the flower.
It had gotten sweet honey there.

Today, in free air,
in the quadrangle of life,
it loves the blueness of the sky.

From which unknown sphere did the flower come?
To propagate whose glory?
It overflows with His love,
irrespective of whether I recognise Him or not.

The evening breeze,
impatient with fragrance,
whispered into my ears:

“Do not sit idle.
Take up work.
Sing songs to your heart's content.

You have come here to this earth for only a short time.
The rhythm of your movement will go a long way.

You are just like a traveler
who stays on the path
and continues ahead on the journey.
Have love for your goal.

You have come and departed from here many times.
The periphery of movement is immeasurable and infinite.
Ever new forms surround you.

It is that rare entity that appears in your meditation.”

O little bird, O nightingale,
in the floral garden,
in whose hope,
do you sing your song with a pitch raised so high?

You have no worry or thought.
You have a shelter
and an unlimited sky to fly.
You keep singing and whistling,
forgetting all loads of pains.

The rose loves you.
Its petals smilingly look at you.
And its sweet pollen intoxicate your body
as colourful days rise.

Days after days,
ages after ages,
pass by,
while I await You,
and eagerly look towards the path of Your arrival.

I remain helpless.
No one understands my mental agony.

During daytime,
I hope You would come at night,
carrying in hand the lamp of hope,
and pour into my anxious eyes a flow of nectar.

During nighttime,
I hope You would come in the morning,
along the dawn’s crimson glow,
that rises in the eastern horizon,
and provide illumination and light wherever there is darkness.

O Beloved,
by Your coming,
You colour everyone’s mind.

By making them bathe in effulgence,
You provide language to their mouth.

To those who think that You are unknown and unrecognised,
and who do not attract You close,

You bring closeness
by breaking the delusion of mind.

You tinge in darkness
and smile in shine.
From afar,
You love
and make us understand this fact.

Though You reside within my core,
I do not know for what purpose.
If You do not want to listen to me,
I wonder what flow of affection You have?

In nights of sorrows,
my eyes shed tears.
In the light of happiness,
my mind is intoxicated.

Yet I do not know why You do not come closer.

You provide shelter

You give fire during snowfalls.

What I need and what I do not need,
my intellect is unable to understand.
You know everything, including my consciousness.

Knowingly and unknowingly, I have committed crimes.

Though I forget You,

You never forget me.

It brings a flood of nectar to the infinite blue sky,

In the mirror of my mind,
I see Your smile again and again with melody and tune.

Where did the path start
and during what moment did the journey commence?
Who saw the movement of that day?
Of that, today, I think.

The beginning of that path took place in Your imagination.
Date and moment had not yet originated.

That movement of mine
was seen by Your mind only, secludedly.

During such an intense rain,
You came today.
What a grace of Yours!
On each leaf, rain dropped
and tears were shed on flowers.

The blue sky was covered with dark clouds.
At such scene, the peacocks in the forest started dancing.
My mental peacock wants You close.

Come this time, come still closer.

Lightnings flash brilliantly,
and amidst thundering roars,
all other sounds are quietened.
I recount the story of my mind before You,
only so that You make me Your own.

Though obstacles had come,
they were shattered and pulverised by Your grace.

All frightening dilemmas vanished.

The bad days that had come with terrible and large teeth,
the fog that had wanted to engulf me in darkness,

those demonic dances and satanic days,
were all removed by a wee bit of Your kindness.

O guiding charioteer of the chariot of effulgence,
You came and wiped out all delusion.
You tore off inertia, ignorance and mental poverty
by replacing them with illumination.

You destroy the worldly bondages of all.

I become speechless.
Even without longing for You,
all flow within You.
Below Your feet there moves immeasurable sweetness.
The earth is colourfully illuminated by Your colouring torch.

You are ever present within all.
All seek Your grace, morning and evening.
Your path of love is cherished and effulgent.
It crosses all worldly obstructions.

The dawn is bathing in a delightful smile.
O Lord, let this dawn remain forever!
In the far sky,
in the corner of my mind,
You are present.
Let Your effulgence ever be expressed!

I have spent ages in the hope of attaining You.
Today, You have fulfilled my desires.
Let the stream of compassion flow on and on for all time.

Be anywhere, be in my heart.
Today, You have manifested in visible form.
You exist therefore I exist.
With Your heart and soul I have existed.
Today, I realise that Your cosmic play is not the last word.

Amidst the moist wind,
I was unmindful
when You came and stood close by.

The resonance in the air,
whispered into my ears with gentle language.

The ketakii fragrance was floating in the air
and the niipa arbor was full of fragrance.
In the bamboo grove,
along the peacock’s call,
I danced and smiled and smiled.

You came like statical electricity,
flowing pearls through Your sweet smile.
The sleeping bud got up eagerly,
opening its eyes with the hope of seeing You.

On this moving earth, all those who came, went away. Their footmarks are left on the muddy
path and within mind. Nothing of this earth is waste. Whether it is smile of the face or
tears of pain. Taking both together is the flow of the river of life, sometimes in desert
and sometimes with decoration of beauty. Those who have gone, they are still present in
Your creation, dancing around You with free mind. You are shelter of the worlds, beyond
thought, embodiment of consciousness. In the core of all Your sweetness exists.

Amidst the evening breeze,
in the mirror of my mind,
I had first seen You.

The moonlight came and told with a smile:
“I can be attained only by love.”

It is impossible to attract You
with beauty, qualities and skills.
I have understood this essence of truth.
Only by the knot of love can You be tied.

Even though I am devoid of glory,
my heart is full of Your fragrance.
With that fragrance,
day and night,
I am keeping my jewelled lamp glowing.

The wave came from the unknown.

What was there and what had happened?
It is hard to understand Your divine game.

I was lying soiled in the dust in a corner of the path,
when You carefully applied sandal paste.

It was as if someone had whispered into my ears:
“All your pains are gone.”

I remained enchanted.
I could not even enquire who You were.
What I was and what I had become.
All the darkness had vanished.

I came again and again
and searched You,
but You remained far, O Lord.

You kept surrounding my eyes
with petty works,
with hatred, fear and shyness,
so that I did not look at You.

You came shining brightly,
and went away to the unseen world.
You appeared as embodied form, scattering Your smile.
I was unmindful and in deep infatuation.

Peeping into my mind,
You told me to understand You.
You are there, along with articles of love.
But I did not see or hear You even for a moment.

You are light in the dark heart.
You destroy darkness.

By making the dry desert green,
You pour the fragrance of nectar into it.

The creeper that had dried,
the bud that had withered,
whose beauty was lost due to burning heat,
whose hopes and language had become exhausted,
You are the nectar of their heart.
O most beloved friend.

All the fallen ones and all sinners seek Your grace.
Knowingly or unknowingly, all rush towards You.

The bee comes to the flower with the hope of getting honey.
Similarly You are the most desired amidst the dearest.

The bee came into the floral garden.
Tell me why. Tell me why.

The flower was vibrant with fragrance
in the garden of my mind.

Though storms, strong winds, snow, dew and fog came,
the bud of love remained,

and survived secretly within my mind.

The bee appeared suddenly, in surprise,
without speaking nor announcing itself.
The unknown friend utterly snatched away all the honey within.

and thus, it does not touch the ocean.
I am ignorant, I think with fallacy,
knowingly, again and again.

You are in the core of my heart.
You are without form.
Unseen, You shake the decoration of beauty.
The strings of my heart play and tinkle around You.

I attained You in the illumination of my heart.

The sweet mental bee,
on a cloudy night,
hovered over the niipa flower.

The more I had searched outside,
I more I had become disappointed.
I did not find the altar decorated with a golden lamp and ghee.

In quest of You, I came to this world again and again.
Yet You were never attained.

Your game,
O Lord,
is hard to understand.
Today, You secretly came.

With the desire of attaining You,
I talk and sing of Your attributes.
I never deviate from the path.
I remain engrossed in Your meditation and the recitation of Your name.

In the frenzied wind of the nightly sky,
which melody has started sounding?

In this heart,
while You were in an unknown sphere,
the high desire of attaining You was filled.

The moon was covered by dark clouds,
peeping through now and then.
The mental peacock was dancing,
oblivious of closeness or distance.

The clouds eventually dispersed and the flow of light shone.
The game of hide and seek between the moon and the clouds ended.
Into a face full of shyness,

as if smiling in dream,
You appeared in yet another form.

O Lord,
is Your creation.
To everyone Your gift is equal.

All consider You their own,
pulling You during pain and pleasure,
without heeding to walls of obstacles,
removing their ego.

What I should wish for, I do not know.
For what purpose and in what quantity?
My intellect being so incomplete,
You have to deliberate.

You are the sandal paste applied to heat burns.
You bring warmth to snowy peaks.

You bring the flow of hope to broken hearts
and fill the dry and infertile land of the desert with greenness.

You know who has what purpose
and, understanding all,
You gift the water of grace.
You strike with goading hook on pride and ego.
The wheel of Your cart never stops.

Whether one loves You or not,
all long for Your proximity.
You smilingly grant welfare,
something that cannot be gotten
even after much wandering and searching.

Is He who came to my home
the one I had longed for during all those days?

He had stayed away due to my ego.
I had not understood this even for a moment.

When I looked at Him,
I observed tear drops in His eyes.
In the dreamy moonlit night
I saw Him as my own.

At the time of farewell,
on the passage I was standing
with a garland in hand.
At the end of the night,
amidst the sandal breeze,
He told that He would return, again and again.

You draw the ray of light in darkness
and fill the desert sand with life.

Whatever storms and strong winds may come,

Your light remains ever bright,
as You defeat the time factor.

Many ages come and go,
to be devoured by time.
Many nebulae vanish,
yet You keep all in Your mind.

The morning sun told me:

“Why do you fear darkness?
With crimson light shall I colour you.
The night has gone.
Now get up.”

The birds are chirping in frenzy.
The flowers smile, loaded with sweet heaps of articles.
The bees rush forth,

dancing fast as the pollen of petals scatter.

Forget the agony of the past.
Contemplate the new morning in new way.
Sing the song of the Ever-new today.
Create the world in a new way.

You were formless and came into form.
You filled the world with light.

I salute You again and again.
You poured nectar onto this earth.

In this world of forms,
whenever and in whatever direction I look,
I am unable to see anything other than You.
You are vibrant in atoms and molecules.
And even in the world beyond thoughts,
only You exist.

Without You no one finds any way out.
Hence all pride and ego falls and breaks apart.
It plunges at Your feet,
confident that You reign with mercy.

Come into my meditation.
Come into my life.

Looking towards Your path,
during this sweet month of spring,
I am counting days.

I see the charm of Your beauty while in dream at night.
In the blue sky,

Your grandeur reflects in the flow of clouds.
Ideating on You,
my restless mind drifts away far, with melody and tune.

On moonlit nights Your sweet murmur floats about.
In the firmament of my mind,
I hear Your tinkling sound.
Your effulgence scatters the light of Your illumination
into each corner of the core of my mind.

Kindling the golden lamp,
I sat that evening.

I had the earnest will to decorate You
with a floral garland placed on the altar.

The evening star told me
that You were not attainable this way.
The lamp, the garland, the altar -
all are outside.
Yet that gem shines in the mind.

The night passed wastefully.
The golden lamp became extinguished.
At the end of the night the star Venus told me
that He had returned to the heavenly abode.
For, there had been a lack of heartfelt love.

Do not go!
I have matters to say to You.

If now You will go away,
with what shall I survive?

What did the sandal breeze whisper into my ears?
What web did the horizon weave?
My restless mind does not heed.
Doesn’t history know this?

On the autumn evening,
with the fragrance of shefali flowers,
the mint plant frenzies with sweet joy.
My mind is filled with the essence of nectar.
Tell me with what I shall hide all this?

You came in darkness,
bringing with You a flood of light.

Nobody knew, understood or estimated
that this was going to happen.

In the physical base, in the mental pabulum
and in the spiritual foundation,
human beings were asleep in darkness.
You showered divine effulgence on everyone's face.
Thus ending the slumber of infatuation.

With a floral garland and sweet oscillations,
providing illumination on the journey,
You came by Yourself and showed the path.
You left a permanent gift for mankind.
You gave a permanent solution
to all physical, psychic, and spiritual problems.
You graced all with Your divine advent.

Spring came today into the forest.
It came into my mind.

At its invitation,
buds and tender leaves appeared.
The branches that were without leafs,
that had cried out losing their beauty,
now carry heaps of beautiful articles
and smile each moment.

Under the load of snow,
the earth had been full of infirmity.
By the decorating carpet of flowers,
all its inertia has been removed.

In the evening,
at the dusty and sandy beach,
I sit and think of You.

O Lord,
what splendid design are You sketching?

With Your mental eyes,
again and again,
You witness the destruction of mountains
and the fall of stars.

Many nebula float on alone,
singing of Your attributes.
The mad elephants roam in the forest.
You listen, along with them,
amidst the pollen of flowers,
to the history of butterflies.

You kindle light and pour out illumination.

You pull all close and break infatuation.
O one unaffected by sins, O Rudra!

You cannot be known by skill.
You cannot be attracted by worldly honour.
You appear to whoever You want.
O consciousness beyond the illusive maya!

You are unobservable by language and mind.
O one beyond the three worlds!
Coming to the world,
You love with mercy,
O one ever unobstructed!

Though You are the bright gem in my dark heart,
I cannot recognise You.

Though You are so close,
You appear so far
that even looking at You,
I cannot see You properly.

In my small dark house,
at a hostile time
and due to self-inflicted pains,
a flood of tears rushes from my eyes,
not heeding to good ideas or knowledge whatsoever.

You made me realise my own Self.
You remain with me.
Why then shall I fear the annihilating dark night?
All these annihilating dark nights are also sheltered within You.
Why don’t I understand this?

Along the peacock’s call,
into the arbor of my forest,
You came with song after song,
O Lord.

I was sitting immersed in thought and ideation
when You sang Your song into my ears.

I was charmed
and completely purified physically, mentally and vitally.
The door of the thought that was closed

opened up with melody and notes.

You thought of me,
and brought vibrations to my core.
You made me forget everything else.
You made me know that singular one,
thus ending the darkness of infatuation.

And in the forests of mahul and shimul, vibrations started.

The mind of those who were lying unconscious
in the deep slumber of infatuation,
awakened by the breeze of that vibration.
Darkness passed and a golden morning came,
breaking off all the bondages of infatuation.

The angel told:

“Listen to me.
I have come for all.
No one should waste any time even for a moment.
Never become afflicted by fear.
The trumpet of victory is sounding!”

From within the land of clouds,
what sort of lightning did strike so suddenly?

You went away without mentioning Your name.
You left without me catching hold of Your form.
I could not get acquainted with You,
nor did I have any longing for it.

Due to astonishment
I was not able think.
Queries came later.
Enchanting my eyes,
that lighting suddenly vanished.

And yet,
His divine sport,
His coming and going,
remained in my mind.

In which distant heaven had You been present?
Now that You have come closer,
all are newly coloured.
Nobody possesses any real capability.

They cherish Your grace,

which would fill their mind

You love in the combination of light and darkness.

if You will not come?

The new leaves, buds and flowers
float away in my tears.
I thread the garland during daytime,
and decorate the tray of colours in the evening.

But at midnight,
due to lightning and thunder,
the altar of worship is burnt away.

I heard that You are kind
but in action, I do not find its proof.
In a mischievous and deluding game,
You extinguish the lamp of hope.

You did not tell Your name to identify Yourself.
Gesturing You made me know of the reality.

There was a garland of shefali flowers
into which was poured the love of the evening,
saying it seeked Your love.

You told me:

“I have come.
I love you.
I heard your call in my mind.”

What is the bee of my mind telling today?

Secretly coming into my floral garden,
whispering into my ears,
what is it saying?

For Him,
I fill the flower with honey.
For Him only,
I rehearse the melody of the song.

I decorate His path with paintings.
Yet that merciless one does not come.

Coming instead into my mind,
He says:

”Your dark night has been converted into morning.
Do not shed flows of tears anymore,
now that you have become acquainted with me.”

On this earth full of songs,
to which unknown destination does my mind float?

It does not heed to any wall of obstacle or dogma.
The trumpet of the distant sky keeps sounding.
In resonant beauty all are unified.

Taking all along,
looking at all sides,
the language of all floats in feelings.

That which has existed
and that which has passed,
is being forgotten and this is good.

What should I do today,
and what should I think,
amidst the colour of songs that are announced?

You came singing songs.
You did not heed to any obstacle on the path.

You climbed and surmounted hills,
and never stopped that perfectly melodious song.

You spread its melody into the world
and provided language to all voices.
You made everyone forget the difference between own and alien
and distributed freely that garland threaded with love.

People say that You come and go,
O Lord,
and that there is no pause in this coming and going.
It happens suddenly and momentarily.

And that is why we remain engrossed in pain and pleasure.

On intellectual consideration I am negligible.
Please arouse my consciousness

Where from have I come here
and where am I going to treading this wild path?
I know neither beginning nor do I see an end.
O traveler, provide the destination.

You have known me since eternity.
I keep drifting in Your cosmic flow.
Though I am meagre, I am Yours.
Why do You forget this truth?

O controller of the universe,
take my millions of salutations!

Below Your feet nebulae move,
what to speak of suns and stars?

The effulgent moonlight that appears in the great space,
pours a smile into my mental mirror.

That effulgent moonlight,
where have You kept it hidden during dark fortnights,
playing Your divine game?

The flower that I find coated with nectar pollen,
provides sweet feelings to the mind.
Yet, due to burning heat, it withers away also.
How astonishing is this history of Yours!

smiled sweetly

You showered Your grace,
made Your song heard
and kindled the festival of lights,
with melody after melody.

You remain engrossed within the mind.
The dancing peacocks of the forests search You day and night.
Hiding inside the mind,

adorned with the beauty of the garden,
You pour fragrance into it.

You are the ocean of mercy from time immemorial.
You float from a distance in series of waves.
You are also nearby all the time.
You play Your divine game without pause.
Whatever You do appears good.

O Beloved,
You came today
with the fountain flow of effulgence,
piercing the bosom of dense darkness on this earth.

The flow of Your movement is forwards,
through heaven and earth,
through the solid, liquid and luminous factors.

Sometimes You display horrifying teeth
and sometimes affection.
You move through series of waves in the great ocean.

You never stop due to obstruction.
You are never shaken by the sway of desire and attainment.
Through extremely difficult paths,

having left the heavens,
You continue Your spiritual endeavour.

How much have I called You!
Yet You did not come close.
You remained deaf.

At Your feet,
I offer whatever You have given me.

Alas, what a condition of love is this that it does not last.
Thinking of You, my mind becomes emotional.

All my hidden expectations,
all the untold language of my mind,
were prohibited from being told to You.

Days and moments pass
and dissolve into the great space.
My existence withers away each moment.
If You will forever remain far
and not come close
why then did You include me in Your grand drama?

in dream
and in an awakened state.

I search You in everything.
With the impulsive force of Your name,
I overcome calamities.
In the whole world, I know and recognise only You.
My body, mind and life have fully absorbed You.

On this path, You remain forever in my eyes.
Irrespective of whether I am right or wrong,
You continue to watch me with smiling face.
You provide whatever is needed for a particular purpose.
You stay in the firmament of my mind, destroying all darkness.

In the evening breeze in a drowsy dream,
I saw You for the first time.

Your upper lip was coloured
and on the lower one lay the essence of beauty.

You told me:
”I have come,
I shall fulfil your desire.
I came crossing many mountains and oceans.
Unload this time
the burden of your feelings.”

I told You:
”Come again and again,
scattering Your fragrance.
It would be good if You stayed forever,
filling my mind with love.”

Whose maya, whose illusive game,
is it in which all pains and tortures dissolve?

You came today with the flow of effulgence,
riding the seven-horsed chariot.
You came at dawn,
filling the earth with the splendour of effulgence.
Do no longer hide in seclusion.

All want You with all their heart.
All want You from the deep recess of their restless heart.
Not in the floral garden but in the mental garden,

overflows the eternal song of sweetness.

You are the ocean of effulgence.

O incomparable One,

You make meteorites fall with lightning thunder.
O fear-inducing, tandava-dancing Lord,
what introduction of Yours this is!

Striking with a thunderous voice,
You bring tears to eyes.
To awaken consciousness,
You perform the gesture of boon and fearlessness (varabhaya mudra).

With an expression unrestrained and reckless,
You keep dancing.
You stir land, water and space.
Pouring ashes into the fires of sin,
You show that this is the consequence of the power of sin.
You never heed to any obstruction.

All is known to You.
Who possesses how much energy,
is not unknown to You either.
For my sake You arranged a variety of oblations.

For You only,
I kindled my lamp and threaded a garland.
I survive by Your thought only.

To attain You,
I remain ever restless.
O formless one,
You came into world of forms
and decorated the wicker tray.

You poured love into everything.
Your endless journey thus continues.
Only a wee bit of Your grace suffices
to quench all my desires.

The path You travel on is liberal,
this is what Your divine game shows.

In which unknown world have You been for such a long time?
Today You came into the known world.

You were the moon of the distant sky.
Today You appeared within my mind.

Around several towns and places of pilgrimage,
I have wandered in the hope of catching sight of You.
But my desire was not fulfilled,

You were not to be seen.
You continued smiling, staying away.

I understood that the essence of reality is Your mercy.
There is no path other than that to attain You.

Hence skill and intellect accept defeat.
You have made this fact understood.

Beyond the factors of space, time and person
lies Your abode.

No thunderous voice is there,
but instead soft beauty.

O Lord beyond space,
You came into the physical world.
O one beyond time,
You came into the periphery of time.
O entity located in attributelessness,
the world sings of Your qualities.

Amazing is the drama of Your illusive game.
It is impossible to comprehend it with but a tiny intellect.
Only one on whom You shower Your grace,

understands that reality.
To him/her, You make it known.

I could see that lost gem
and my eyes widened.

The darkness was not only on the outside,
it was also within my mind.
There had been no spiritual endeavour.
There was not even an iota of self-recognition.
You Yourself awakened it all.

I was able to know and love You.
Why did not I understand it before?
Today, by looking at my own self
and remembering You,
I have understood
that You reside within and beyond the periphery of time.

Like a flame of fire on ice-peaked mountains,
You have kept my life filled.

You cannot be seen but can only be understood,
along different layers of life.

You are the glitter of immortality in this mortal world.
You are the fragrance of the heavenly parijat flower
that is filled into the red, fragrantless silk cotton flower.
You are the colourful assemblage of beauty,

that plays on each string of the mental viina.

You are in rhythm, beat and each melody,
in each tinkling of heavenly music.
You are in the twang of bows,
in the clattering of swords,
You are in each moment and period of existence.

Keep telling the story of the infinite,
O Lord,
whispering it into everyone’s ears,
through song after song.

So that theme, rhythm and melody
may unify heart after heart.

Your divine game goes on unbarred,
flowing into the cosmic arena,
past fundamental factors such as the luminous and liquid factors,
it pervades the intense heat of the desert sand,

amidst a realisation beyond knowing and not knowing.

The flow of Your liila is free and unlimited.
Intellect and intuition too reach their limits and accept defeat.
The garland of the beloved remains restless like a tide in the ocean.

I am Yours.
Do not forget or ignore me.

Over mountains, oceans and skies,
You scattered the beauty of light.
Obtaining a spark of it, I have awakened.

In existence, expression and bliss,
in the rain-bathed smiling kadam flower,
in the charming fragrance of the ketaki flower,
You harmoniously descend.

You belong to both heaven and earth.

Carrying the poison of the whole world,
You have become immortal by virtue of Your own attribute.

There is no one like You to have such qualities.
Even as collectivity of all beauty,
Your abode is bodiless.
You are full of love and affection.
I am unable to think of anything more than that.

You are as high as the Himalayan mountain peaks.
Yet simultaneously, You kiss the depths of hell.
I salute You with body and mind, over and over again.
You are the essence of heavenly nectar.

You awakened the knowledge of human dharma in me.

The one to whom You belong,

The fulfilment of desires lies within You.
In the sleeping viina of my inner core,
You playfully express Yourself.

You performed Your play in an unforgettable manner.

You had Your charming flute with You,
and both Your eyes were vibrant with divine game.
It was that flute by which the world engages in dance,
and those eyes by which the earth becomes full of sweetness.

How much time has since passed?
How many nebula have become stars?
How many have come and how many have departed?
That memory remains full of fragrance even to this day.

Unseen, unblemished,
intuitional charmer of my mind,
master of all my pleasure, pain and agony.

You song is like a stream.
Flowing forward with rhythm towards the great ocean,
it rushes through waves without inhibition.

Washing off all that is old,
carrying the message of the new,
it raises the resonance of life into sky and air.

All remains in the vast, grand sky.
That which existed in the past is present as a floating, lost song.
I sit, attuning my ears

with the hope of listening to that song,
in the great sky whose end remains unknown.

pulling all the sweetness of the world -
my mind wants to see them forever.

All the hopes and languages that were gathered,
all love and songs that were dissipated -
each moment of mine remains attached to this memory.
By attaining Him,

nothing else is left to be obtained.

At first sight, there is fear and public shyness.
Yet, the king of mind dances on in my mind.
For Him only do I survive,
keeping decorated all adornments,
while moving on His path.

who are You, rushing along?

You are not deterred by whatever obstruction
and adulate the mind without speaking.
From Your chariot,
sparks of light scatter in all directions.
No one knows or understands why it overwhelms so much.

Carrying the message of one who is yet to come,
You move on, tied by the bondage of time.
On series of waves,
over the ocean of time,
You kindle the lamp of love.

and filled it with rhythms and songs.

Removing the fog of pessimism,
You brought illumination.

Thought and non-thought,
You know everything.
You pull the neglected ones close to You.
You bring mantra into psychic stupor.
You do not discriminate between small and big
and fill everyone with rhythms and songs.

You are the controller of time beyond thought.
O charming Supreme Consciousness,
You are located in mind stuff
and find expression in incantation and meditation,
in both body and mind.
You bring the distant ones close.

You came from an unknown world,
and poured out the sweetness of Your mind.

You responded on hearing our call
and brought Your own self.

You told:
“All are mine.
No one distant for me on this earth.
I want the welfare of all,
forgetting the distinction between small and big.”

Strong winds and storms came,
to dull that sweetness.
Still today, He remains eternal
and will remain so, within and beyond time.

Does keeping me away from You make You happy?

Your ways are very harsh.
Even seeing the tears in my eyes,
Your heart does not melt.

Amidst the fall of thunder,
the flow of meteorites,
the never ending flames of volcanoes crushing time,
how do You remain seated in Your chariot?

I have heard that You love,
and that You pour light into a dark heart.
The musical compositions of beats and rhythms
are filled with sweetness.
Why is this so?

You came at an untimely moment.
You came late, as the day was passing.

The dull garland of malati flowers is withering.
The drying oleander flower hides due to pain.

This world comprises both coming and going.
There is sadness in loss and joy in achievement.
The resonant path, with rhythm and melody,
sings the song of our coming and going.

Within the darkness of sorrow,
the glow of joy smiles.
In the mirror of mind,
the flower of love appears.
Amidst wintry shefali flowers
and flowers in the tall grass,
beauty and taste are reflected.

On this golden, moonlight-scattering night,
my mind rushes to attain You.

You have illuminated this inanimate world with heavenly light.

Your victory chariot moves forward from beginninglessness
without heeding to obstruction, on that infinite path.
For the welfare and the destruction of evil,

it moves on, awakening the knowledge of dharma in one’s inner core.

O beginningless Lord,
You were there,
You exist now
and will forever remain.
You never forget anything or anyone.
But if ever I forget You due to infatuation,
remove that blunder with stern hands.

with rhythm and song,

By His order,
the flow of vitality,
with heartfelt hope,
dances on with joy.

By His touch, flowers bloom.
Nectar is filled by His wish.
Engrossing yourself in His ideation,
forget all your pains!

His love story is unforgettable.
Only those events related to Him are worth recounting.
In Him all sweetness is located.

Do love Him with all your heart!

O beloved,
I have loved You in my mind during pain and pleasure.

I have loved You through feelings and ideations,
in the charming decoration of unseen effulgence.

During nights of pain engulfed in darkness,
with tears overflowing,
in the psychic stupor of joy and pleasure,
I have remained in search of optimism.

I have searched in the floral garden,
in the face of the light-radiating moon,
in the resonance of Your sweetness,
with the sweet shyness of intoxication.

I do not know where this path ends.
There is neither beginning nor end to it.
There is no hindrance to its forward movement.

Who created this path,
at times so crooked,
and full of rise and fall?
The movement is filled with only one thought:
that the unknown be known.

O pioneer,
You remain hidden,
You do not come to touch this earth.
Instead, You call within the mind,
amidst the unison of rhythm and song.

O great ocean,
if the stream dried out,
what would happen?
Please tell me.

Can the flow of a fountain remain vibrant
in the girdle of its mountain?

The vitality that arises in the mouth of the origin,
if that becomes extinct by pain,

then what would people say?
Has the seed of infatuation not been removed?

I am a simple and ignorant stream,
flowing on the path,
rushing through ups and downs.
I remain intoxicated in Your rhythm,
without pausing even for a moment.

Removing the darkness of dense nights,
You kindled the lamp of hope.

What I had considered impossible,
became possible by taking Your name.

In a dry river, a flood appears.
Dry eyes float in a stream of water.
On infertile sand, greenery grows,
if a spark of Your mercy is present.

The wee bit of Your grace brings a flow of effulgence
and gifts the nectar of song to dry lips.

On actions of sin, it hits with deadly lightning.
Humanity calls You.

You brought the softness of the moonlight
and gave unlimited love.

By pouring out a heavenly flow of nectar,
You made human beings great.

Remaining close,
bestowing the sweetness of affection,
You call all towards their inner origin.
You break those golden chains.

Whatever sweetness exists,
is due to You.
And whatever bitterness there is,
is due to forgetting You.
You keep singing the mantra of liberation.

The stream of melody keeps flowing,

Its goal is that ocean
which it aims at in meditation.

On both banks are His stories, His songs.
For Him only is sweetness set in motion.
With His ideation,
forgetting all pains,
it rushes unto Him.

My mental stream wants only You.
It wants to be freed from the bonds of dogma.
That the stones of obstruction be crushed,
I pray at Your feet.

With the fragrance of the shefali flower,
amidst the rhythm of the tall grass,
You appeared physically.

All the dark clouds that had accumulated in my mind,
startled and were blown away by Your presence.

At the horizon’s silver line they vanished.
No one knows where.

You and I are located in the same mind.
The cosmic and the unit have come close.
With charming bliss of sweetest essence,
today, I realise this with joy in dream.

When someone ideates on You,
that ideation is not always sustained.
Why then does one continue thinking of You?

You are the ocean of mercy and the gem of one’s eyes.
I consider You Greatest of all.

I know You as eternal entity,
and surround You with intense thought.

O beloved,
do not forget me even for a moment.
Enlighten me in hundreds of ways.
The peacock of my mind dances with raised tail.
It dances each moment, with rhythm and melody.

Atoms dance surrounding You,

Today, I attained that touchstone close.
I go on singing with the swan in the blue sky,
now that You are in my mind.

You are present in the depth of my core.
You are present outside too.
You are present in the restlessness of pessimism
and in tears of sorrow.
You are present in feelings of happiness
and in assemblages of flowers.
You are present in the flow of heavenly love.

Spreading my hands before You,
irrespective of whether it is a decorated morning

or whether I find myself amidst poverty,
I speak, ashamed of myself.

I have always thought of only getting something,
of my own rights only.
In the rise and fall of this world of imagination,
I have forgotten Your work.

This creation of mine, engulfed by infatuation, darkens.
It makes me shed tears constantly

and makes me forget that You are nearby.

Within Your thoughts I float day and night.

In the blue colour of the sky
and all corners of my mind,
You are secretly present.

You do not discriminate between deserving and non-deserving.
You are eternal and ever new.

You reside both within and beyond the periphery of time.
You come within and beyond the domain of space and form,
as ever new and intense light.

Scriptures, intellect and skills cannot catch hold of You.
Power and affluence cry out from a distance.

They surrender all mundane success,
knowing Your mercy to be the real essence.

You came today charmingly decorated,
disseminating a sweet and pleasing aroma.

I could not have imagined even in dream
that I would get so close to You.

I searched You in mountains and caves.
I searched You in the trees and creepers of the forest.
I searched in the pious stream of a pilgrimage,

seeking purity through vows and discourses.

You were in my own mind,
smiling with playful delusion.
You wished to let all know
that You are silently present within everyone.

Spreading my hands,
I only wanted to get.
I never thought of giving.

I paid attention only to my claims
and never performed any duty.

I kept telling to give me,
filling up all the tree worlds.
Amidst intricacies,
embracing darkness,
I did not hear You calling
in the core of my heart.

I rushed towards the outside,
and moved away from what was close.
Evening came
and I realised my fault.
Now at night,
do not stay away.

If You do not want to come,
do not come,
but do not smile from a distance.

If You do not want to,
do not understand my sorrow,
but do not hit a blow to my inner core.

Even amidst the morning light,
stay away,
if You so wish,
but keep the darkness.

Whatever You want,
please do,
but do not wipe me from Your mind.

If You do not wish to,
do not purify me with a stream’s soft water,
but I request You politely,
do not bring the desert heat either.

I move on,
crushing the thorns on the path,
to find You close to me.

I have kept the bolts of my door open,
and have wiped off the agonies of the past.

Mercifully, tell me,
how much more delay is there
until I may hold You with all my heart?
From age to age I keep floating,
seeking from You a particle of Your mercy.

I cannot do anything with my intellect.
I know that scriptural knowledge is incomplete.
I accept Your causeless grace as essence,
and taking Your name,
I struggle through hundreds of difficulties.

But why did You not fill my mind?

In meditation I longed for You with all my heart.
But why did You not even look at me?

Please look at me with compassionate eyes.
Keep me under Your shelter.
If You so wish, I shall attain supreme peace.

Your form is matchless.
You are adorned with all qualities.
You are respected by all.
You are worshipped throughout the universe.

On that moonlight-bathed evening,
You came into my floral garden.

At that time the fragrance of the shefali flower was floating about,
as I listened to the call of someone from afar.

The birds were returning to their nest,
singing Your name in hundreds of melodious flows.
Amidst tunes and compositions,
You came to this earth with vibrations of love.

Like the silvery scales of fish,
with the pleasing touch of a breeze,
white clouds were floating.
Swinging the flowers in the tall grass,
forgetting the world,
Your songs find embodiment.

Why do You not come closer?
I have heard that You are sweet,
but I do not see this in actual life.

My days pass by calling You,
my nights pass by with tear-filled eyes.
Are You seeing or listening to this at all?

And yet, on the strings of my mental lyre
tinkling sounds are generated,
as You keep granting unconditional love.

In the series of waves in the blue ocean,
tell me, whose message keeps floating?

I hear His name each moment,
but I cannot ever see Him.

In the eastern morning sky,
is His beauty.
In the evening hue,
His mark is sketched.
In the firmament of my mind
is His free flowing tuft of hair,
oscillating in hundreds of styles.

When there was nothing,
when there was no earth,
when there was no vibration filled with vitality,
when there was no maddening impulse of emotion,
He was silently present.

You thought that I had forgotten You.
But can I forget?

You remain mingled with each inhalation and exhalation of mine.
You cover me with beauty and flow.

Fearing the darkness of the night,
I have kept Your lamp kindled in my house.
You are the base of the lamp of the whole world.
You keep everyone blanketed.

Continuously thinking of You,
I have become mad.
Ideating on You, I forget all burns.
I thread a garland with the flowers of love,
and fill it with the nectar of this earth.

With the morning light,
You came and scattered beauty.
You sat on the seat of my heart.
You smiled and called me with coloured lips.

You told me:

“Never fear anything.
I am with You.
Do not worry.

Keep doing your work wholeheartedly,
perform your sadhana,
and stay with all in pain and pleasure.

I was in the past,
I am present even today,
and I will remain with you forever.

No one will be left out,
be they small or big, wise or ignorant.
All shall attain me
if I am searched within the mind.”

While I was sitting on the seashore,
as series of waves,
the festivity of life neared closer.

In the distant sky many a star smiled.
Which language did the sandal breeze speak?
Friend and foe, forgetting the distinction, I loved all.

I have not forgotten the incidence of that night.
It remains threaded in my mental mirror.
During the darkness of sorrow and periods of happiness,
that memory floats adrift in seclusion.

Why didn’t You secretly come into my garden,
with silent feet?

No one would know or understand,
and I would see You with smiling eyes.

In my floral garden,
O Lord,
there are no thorns.
I never store aside any dropped leaf.
If thought waves appear from time to time,
come very cautiously.

The delicate slimness in young grass remains.
In the floral pollen, fragrance remains.
The mental peacock dances,
spreading its tail with sweet rhythm.

Waiting for You,
I have remained awake.
My days pass by in intense heat
and in my nights darkness surrounds me.

I know that I am not alone,
but, unable to catch You,
I turn frantic.
In the vastness of the ocean,
I go on singing the song
which would make my mind oblivious.

My eyes fixed on hope,
I remain absorbed in Your ideation.
The cakor bird of my mind
glides over the mental realm,
ever in search of intuition.

Through this bright moonlit night,
who is that who came today,
making my mind oblivious of everything else?

Without fear of obstacles and adversities,
You move on the mental chariot.

O beginningless Consciousness,
You move on a path of endless journey,
sternly rejecting all reasoning.
With vital vibrations,
in the sweet mental garden,
You move on alone.

Your story, O Lord, never ends,
this unwritten history of the ages.
With rhythms and songs,
I keep singing Your glory,
the great understanding of which
takes place by Your mercy only.

You came in intense darkness,
and filled the world with illumination.

Looking at humanity,
You kindled the lamp of vitality.

Bringing melody through the flow of rhythm,
You provided language to dumb feelings.
On this barren dusty earth,
You smilingly bloomed the lotus of the heart,
and danced vibrantly.

You came, showing mercy,
and providing colouration in the firmament of the mind.
Small or big,

particle or great,
all started dancing in the soft breeze.

In which distant past did You come,
filling up the whole world?

You came,
filling love into light, air and thoughts,
and into many a form.

You dance to the rhythm of light and shade,
ecstatic, with tussles of good and bad.
Providing solutions to the non-auspicious,
You showed how sin can be defeated.

When, amidst the intense power of demonic forces,
sin is honoured,
then, with lightning,
You burn all that
and save humanity.

my mind floats to some unknown sphere.

Sitting on a lonely, sandy shore,
my time passes counting the stars.

Whatever I had wanted, I eventually attained.
Under whose attraction do the bees rush

O merciless One,
You do not understand my language.
All my hopes center around You only.
All my joys, cries and love
are not deterred by whatever obstruction.

You came without announcing Your arrival
and went away without declaring You would leave.
What illusive game this is,
I am unable to understand.

I did not express a welcoming “come in” to You.
I had not even kept open my mental door.

You knocked on that closed door
and instantly broke my deep slumber.

You told me:
“the night has passed, wake up!”
After seeing You,
I was able to recognise You.

You keep calling all
but no one is able to hear or attain You.
By Your mercy, inertia is dispelled.
What took place I could not have imagined even in dream.

What effulgence have You radiated,
in the garden of my mind?

The restless and blooming fragrant flowers
have started dancing
and are fully absorbed in sweetness.

In the intoxicating wind,
spreading her wings,
the fairy flies with rhythm and melody,
attaining You in the colourfully decorated world of her mind.

Do not go,
stay here,
I shall not leave You!
I have forgotten all wants and achievements,
attaining You in the intoxication of my meditation.

You came,
dancing rhythmically with ankle bells.

You smiled,
spreading light and scattering pearls.

Filling the sky with melodies and tunes,
vibrating the moonlit night,
pouring language into mouths
and hope and kindness into hearts,
You remain,
pervading the three worlds.

You dance in waves,
flooding the physical world,
from beginninglessness to endlessness without pause.
Your gift of love,

Your charity,
dissolves into all that is afflicted.

You remain spread throughout the whole universe,
and thus I am unable to search You.
Why, O Lord? Tell me.

Although You pervade and fill
both each single atom as well as the entire cosmos,
yet it feels as though You are far away.

In Your mental arena,
I am but a meagre particle,
a mere drop in Your great ocean.
Having come from You,
I rest in You
and shall again merge back in You.

In light and darkness,
through rise and fall,
I move on Your path looking forward.
Leaving You,
I have no shelter.
This fact, both You and I know.

Picking from flower to flower,
You created this sweet cyclic association
and brought sweetness to the mind.

Knitting from the thread of cobwebs,
You weaved the cloth of love.

You pulled unto You and brought close the distant ones.
Yet You never ignored the near ones.

With a sweet touch and sweet joy,
You smile, sweetness-filled.

You encompass both softness and hardness.
Yet Your core is filled with sweetness.
By providing hardness,
You ever protect the soft pollen of loti.

His reflection lit up my life.
He loved all.
I now see that no one is separate.

Big and small all are on the same level.
Everyone's mind is spellbound.
He makes me understand that no one is separate.

He spreads light in the darkness and says:
"I see all, and I am always with You,
humanity will surely be victorious".

He does not neglect even an atom.
I know the collection of all atoms is the supreme.
Cast off all defects and junk of the past,
and exchange Your heart and mind with Him.

You came to my small hut,
with rhythms of dance,
on that rain-bathed night.

There was no oil in my lamp
nor a matchstick to kindle it,
that could have destroyed the darkness.

Your coming and going was secret.
Your divine game filled my pains and pleasures.
You provided language to the dumb core of my heart,
during violent storms and the fall of hailstone.

Coming and going secretly,
You placed a glimpse of light on my eyelids,
Singing a song that carries His memories,
all feelings of enmity are forgotten.

You remain mingled with each atom.

With the restless wind and the illusion of dream, You float.
O what experience!

Bringing the garland of heavenly flowers onto earth,
You have decorated all with heart and soul.

You have filled hearts with rhythm and songs
and watch with unblinking eyes.

You have poured love on afflicted ones.
Without discriminating between the wise and ignorant,
You have brought smiles on everyone’s lips.

You fill the earth with beauty and flow.

You came into my floral garden,
removing the thorns
and smiling in the petals.

The dewdrops oscillating with swing
express their salutations at Your feet.
Soft like the green grass,
they sit as if on a covering blanket.

By Your smile the earth became full.
Both animated and unanimated bodies attained new life.
And a lost heart was filled with sweetness.

O formless One,
You pour out beauty!

I was sitting alone that evening
when You came without uttering anything.

The clouds were present
and the blue sky was not visible.
In that sky, the moon smiled.

The sweet malati flower told me
it had been searching a lost heart.
By getting You
it found instant fulfilment of its hope and love.

The sonorousness of the stream narrates these events.
It moves on with dance, carrying Your sweetness.

The glory of Your love and history
floats with each song with rhythm and beats.

My eyes were drowsy and full of tears.

The whole day, I kept crying,
looking at the path of Your arrival.

The day passed and the evening star appeared.
The red hue became lost in the darkness.
My garland of flowers,
coated with the pollen of love,
dried up.

In life, hopes after hopes come.
Yet, it speak but occasionally and remains dry.
But I shall never be afraid,
and without forgetting You,
I shall keep my mind engaged in rhythm and song.

You know all its inner stories.

You do not gives a chance to say anything any time.
You listen before anything has been spoken.

The accumulation of my days and nights,
all the thread of my love made with colourful flowers,
all the tears of my life,

are contained in this small song.

I do not want anything from You,
for all is already known to You.
Whatever You want, You may do,
but only pull me closer to You.

All wants are filled with love
and darkness has come to an end.

You are within all,
touching the ocean and sky,
filling all the seven spheres
all while hiding secretly.

and visited my home.

In this dark cave of mine,
You kindled the lamp.

I had been calling You day and night,
on many a morning of fallen shiuli flowers,
amidst frightening stormy winds.
Have You forgotten?
Today, with fresh and glittering eyes,
You smile shiningly.

I knew You were far away
and called You close from a distance.
From a distance
You smear the fragrance of love
and dance unseen.
Today You removed my delusion and fatigue.

Holding on to Your flow,
my mind rushes forth.

You are the light of the day
and the darkness of night.
In the resonance of melody,
I gain ever-new experiences.
In colourful flowers
and on the bank of restless rivers,
the garland of my mind oscillates
with sweet consciousness.

I come to this world, O Lord, again and again.
You are the assemblage of millions of particles like me.
In the firmament of my mind,

Your mercy shines
and the sweetness of rhythm appears with gestures of dance.

You told me You would come
and sing songs to me.
In that hope, I count moments.

The day passes.
Night intensifies.
I do still not hear Your footsteps.

The small plant has become a giant tree.
On it leaves and flowers have appeared.
I have decorated my home in vain
and now I cry like a serpent bereft of its crown.

In light and darkness,
and in all feelings,
even today,
by Your name,
I dance with ecstasy.
With the mind and life that were given by Him,
I carry His love and knit a web.

On Your path,
O Lord,
an expedition of light takes place
that will quench all my thirst.

In the intensely dark night
(that path) is a beacon of light,
and in the crimson morning
Your chariot conveys numerous messages.

That path urges to move forward
heeding not to hindrances or prohibitions.
Throughout its beginning and end
resonates the song of progress.

Your abode and country is that path.
In the rhythm of its movement
there is no pain or agony.
Whatever is obtained is a gift of that path.

The rhythm by which You became entranced,
by that, the world keeps dancing.

You charmed the seven spheres
and vitalised subtlety.

The world is coloured by Your hue.
By Your gesture all are oscillating.
By Your sound all are resonant.
By Your ideation all are hypnotised.

You are beyond speech, path and mind
but ever resonant in the song of love.
It is difficult to recognise You.

With a clarion call,
You told:

“Wake up, arise!
All those who are sleeping!”

That call merged with the sky, air
and the tree shades in desert.

It shook the hot and dry sand on the riverbank,
the green young grass in the forestland
and the flower decoration in the core of the mind and chignon.

The call floated all over the horizon,
into the eastern sunrise
and into the red hue of the evening sun,
carrying with it the nectar of the stream of love.

Do not be apathetic and remain displeased.
Bestow heavenly sweetness to my life.

You brought into the mortal world,
the nectar of the eternal world.
You filled my mental casket with ideation.
You loved and me pulled close.
Remain with me regardless of date and time.

Be there moonlight or intense darkness,

keep me always with You.

and poured honey into the ocean of love.
In the depth of ideation,

You removed afflictions with the flow of kindness.
You granted liberation by washing my feet.
With the brilliance of light and never ending speed,
You brought sweetness to rhythm.

By Your divine play, the world is dancing.

The world is filled with songs,
in numerous melodies, far and near.

The doors and windows are open.
The distinction between thine and mine
has been banished.
Now, only forward movement prevails,
and fear and shyness are forgotten.

The world is You enacting the divine play.
Impossible can be made possible
and possible be made impossible.
In the display of the cosmic flow,
no such thing as crying and requesting exists.

You merged into the blue sky
the love of mountains and forests.
You dance
in the gentle breeze, in the fire of vitality and in water.

By the sound of Your ankle bells,
the great sky vibrates.
By Your charming flute,
hearts and souls are stirred.
Hypnotising atoms and molecules by Your mere thought,

Amidst this environment, my heart quivers with joy.

Illuminating my mind,
You remain in the physical and psychic worlds.

I am unable to forget You,
for You are my sadhana of hundreds of lives.
Athough You did not stay close,
my mind did not move away.

You brought about flow,
which, by the blow of intuition,
You filled with consciousness.

I never wanted to keep You outside.

My only request,
my only prayer,
is that You not keep me away and neglected.

All those gems and riches that I got from the god of wealth!
Understanding the (never ending) demand for them,

I became disappointed.
I now know You to be the best gem and wealth.
Remain ever fulfilling me.

Whatever I see or hear I understand as false.
Hence, with tearful eyes I beg
that You may have mercy on me.

You moved on the path while singing,
asking me to sing in tune with You.
Standing far, I simply looked on.

Due to shyness, I did not come closer.
I was filled with fear, shame and doubt.
I thought You were not my own.
Today, all suspicion vanished.
I am determined to look for You on the path.

I had searched You in forests
and in vast, snowy mountains.
Not finding You in external forests and terrains,
I now search You within my mind.

The boat that I have floated today,
let it move forward unobstructedly.

Unobstructedly does not mean without obstruction,
but rather that by struggling with obstruction it should rush ahead.

On the burnt head that carries the mark of annihilation,
You are the frightening flame of fire.

Whether frightening or pleasing,
knowing that You are with them,
they move on with confidence in You.

You come through the six seasons in ever new forms,
sometimes sweet and sometimes unfavourable.
You may become unfavourable but do not become apathetic.
Do not remove Your flow of mercy from me.

The future is unknown.
The past is also unknown.
Only the middle part can be recognised.

Where I am,
where I am going,
when I started my journey -
all this, I do not know.

There was no sky,
there was no air,
there were no trees,
there was no sweetness of fragrance of the six types.
In the collectivity of hope and love,

feelings beyond speech and thought abounded.

You were in the past,
You shall remain at the end,
shining in an environment of unlimitedness.
Those existing now will eventually merge in You.
And only Your will shall remain.

O Shyama Ray,
into this sweet garden of madhavi flowers, You came.

By Your smile,
You entranced the world and made it dance.

Your smile scattered down from Your lips like heaps of pearls.
That smile mingled with the love of the Yamuna’s river’s consciousness.

The grass’ greenness and the beauty of smiling niipa flowers
express their salutations, loving You from all their heart.

Holding on to Your path,
I have come,
listening not to what others have to say.

Your bright effulgence and causeless love
shine in my mental mirror.

You are my desideratum, the ocean of mercy.
By a mere drop of Yours, my pot is filled.
The entirety of the inanimate and animate worlds
moves in the ocean of consciousness.

You are the starting point on the path of movement,
O Lord,
and fill each and everyone with consciousness.
You are the ending point of the cyclic revolution,
in the physical and psychic skies.

Granting love,
You removed all disappointment
and made me bathe in the ocean of effulgence.

Providing the mantra of liberation,
charging each pore with ever new ideative momentum,
You have filled my life.

Whatever atoms and molecules there are,
by Your inspiration, all started dancing.
With numerous rhythms and charming bliss,
all keep singing Your song.

Approaching You, obstructions disappeared.
You infused love in all.
You are not far.
You are present, filling my mind.
You resonate in the sky and air.

With intoxicating momentum and the fragrance of flowers,
come in the intense ideation of love.

With colourful lips and the recollection of sweetness,
smile as intense flow.

O Beloved,
I have been searching You far and further still
but I could neither see You nor hear Your ankle bells.
Today, appear in my mental mirror.

Do not let even a single trace of hesitation remain.

In the restless wind,
oscillating with enchanted resonance,
in the sweet sound of feelings,
in the depth of mind,
from which the voice of consciousness rises,
float adrift with new and bright effulgence.

With stars as lamps
and towards the earth,
evening came today.

I shall adore
and keep (this memory) in my mind each moment.

I shall not forget this sweet evening.

You came, ignoring my hundreds of defects.
You announced Yourself with a roaring sound
and I suddenly became purified.

I shall always remember that evening.

I shall fill my consciousness with it, when amidst agonies.
I shall remove the darkness of pain, with the light of intuition.

In the firmament of my mind,
amidst the free air,
I think of You again and again.

You exist, therefore all exist,
ever dancing around You.

The joy of immortality and the sorrow of death,
the face remembering a sweet dream,
all known and unknown errors and mistakes,
move far and wide.

All intuitional suggestions flow from You,
are located in You.
All feelings of pain and agony
constitute the garland of Your love.

The flow of effulgence entered life and minds,
both my own and that of others.

It coloured the eastern horizon
putting an end to a dark night.

The inertia of a deep slumber is no longer.
Life became illuminated anew.
The distinction between what is own and what is alien crumbles
with each song of He who is ever new.

Who are You staying hidden?
Staying hidden, You keep dancing.
You made us forget what is big and what is small.
You purified all by bathing us in liberation.

You dance in the rain
and float in the fragrance of the ketaki flower.
I see You in the depth of my mind.

There is nothing like own and alien for You.
You are with everyone at all times.
You are the base of all illuminations,
You are everyone's nearest amongst all that which is near.
I have now understood that essence of existence.

When I saw You,
there was honey in mango flowers
and kimshuka flowers were bursting with colour,
in anticipation to attract fragrance.

Parul and shimul flowers sat by one another,
narrating events in the golden light.
Small bakul flowers were oscillating on the swing,
smiling and intoxicated with fragrance.

How much time has since passed?
How many nights of mine languished away in darkness?
Now in dream I mentally wonder

what a sweet day may have arrived.

You smiled in the mirror of my mind.

There is no match to Your qualities.
You are not lured by the beauty of external objects.
You remain covert in each and every entity,

yet You also witness externally.

You are the very ocean of mercy.
Both heaven and earth,
both the moveable and immovable worlds
know this fact.
You never ask for anything,
yet You snatched away my everything.

You came originating from the infinite.
You loved in infinite ways.
There is nothing You have not done.
You satisfied my heart,
filling it with golden light.

You bestowed honey in the flowers of my garden,
and keep dancing in my mental casket.
You ignore errors,
and offer pardon.
You are the creator and destroyer of all things.
You merge all into one.

with the essence of sandal,
but at that time,
I could not understand You.

O ever companion,
You smiled like the moon in the firmament of my mind,
but even seeing You,

I could not recognise You.

In the moonlit night, Your light spread,
and my heart suddenly became agitated. Why?

I wanted to see the light,
which You kept pouring,
but in that moonlight,
I could not know You.

I asked, “Why did You stay away?
Why did You keep me covered in darkness?”
You told, ”You did not see me.
I had never left Your mind.”

telling me You would come at the appropriate time.
Has this time still not come til today?

I am sitting alone, my eyes drenched with tears.
Don't You think of that at all?
Why did You give Your word?
And why did You forget it?
Why did You keep me hoping?

You may come or not,
You may love me or not,
but do not disappoint me this way.

I am extremely meagre and You are vast.
Surrounding Your feet, even the god of death is dancing.
With rhythm after rhythm,

renew with vigour my sincerity.

On this rain bathed night,
full of pollen and the fragrance of ketakii flowers,
with rhythm after rhythm

and fragrance after fragrance,
what does my restless mind long to obtain?

On this night,
there is a flow of mercy.
The pupils of my eyes are fixed with momentum.
Those heaps of articles of love,
in this darkness,
by whom have they been brought, so instantly?

Let this night return again and again,
and pour sweetness into my silent mind,
by raising a tinkling of the seven musical notes
with the solitary touch on a viina.

In this fragrant arbor of niipa trees,
You are the flow of rain.

Into the petals of tender leaves,
You poured sweetness.

You do not discriminate between who comes close to You.
I do not find any disparity whatsoever.

You are the polestar
to those who have lost the path.

This is why You are ocean of kindness.
Your droplets fill the pot of love.
During afflictions of sorrow, burns and pains,
You scatter mercy.

I want You close.
I want to see You in my feelings
and that ideation I shall keep awake.

Although I know You are the controller of the universe,
I consider You my own.

The seat has been spread on my small heart for You,
I shall decorate it with effort.

You are the moon hidden behind the dark clouds
and the honey of love during the troubles of calamities.
I continue crying, thinking You to be far.

Only with Your colour, I shall colour my mind.

I continue searching You in one forest or another,
but in the recess of my mind I did not seek.

I went on pilgrimage, I took up numerous vows,
but never did I think that You would be so close.

O unseen Purusa, You are light of everyone's thoughts.
Deep amidst all, You love.

Day and night, You pour out the hidden flow of love,
through Your enchanting eyes.

With the little intellect that I have,
whatever I understand well,
that I shall perform with all my capacity.
Ignoring attachments, I shall remain submerged in real knowledge,
which I am unable to hold with the sacrificial fire of leaves.

If this love of mine will dry up anyway,
why then did You come into the firmament of my mind?

In my mental mirror,
filled with the water of consciousness,
why did You laugh?

You told me that You would come once more,
and fill my basket again and again with fruits and flowers.
Why did You instead fill the chirping of the birds

with song after song in solitary forests?

When I was sleeping, there was no consciousness.
What is the point then in further thinking about that day?
You provided consciousness and awakened sincerity in me.
Why did You then go away?

In this arbor of blooming kinshuk flowers,

The red, fire-like flowers started swinging
at the resonance of Your beautiful consciousness.

A load of heavenly nectar came down.
The kaostubha diamond garland was shining magnificently.
In this festivity of life, vitality was overwhelming.
The Lord of my life had come secretly.

The end part of that event was my merging in You.
Carrying Your ideation, absorbed in Your sweetness,
I forgot everything and called only one.
All this, I have kept in memory and meditation.

You are present in the fragrance of flowers during my mental spring.
There is no comparison to Your attributes.

With the restless wind in forests and gardens,
You float adrift in significance.

All come and go to fathom an unfathomable depth.
Like a momentarily bubble, the mind dances.
Yet for You, there is coming or going as continuous experience.
No such example is to be found.

Merging into the unknown, all forget the known.

Due to irresistible reactive momenta,
no one knows where one rushes unto.
You are the only constant companion,
remaining day and night.
You provide inspiration with songs
to move on along the path.

You provide inspiration for moving along the path
and various means and procedures for struggling against obstructions.
All known and unknown merges in Your ideation,

and removing hunger, You bring satisfaction.

During winter and in spring, in the mornings and evenings
the earth becomes overwhelmed with joy and love.

You fill bliss with deep exhalations,
silently merging smiles and cries.

In the bamboo grove He came.
What for, I could not understand at all.

He did not let me know or recognise.
Neither did He say anything Himself.

He simply smiled, looking at my face,
carrying heavenly sweetness.
The scattered sky and air spoke,
but I could still not recognise Him.

He went away pursuing His mission,
decorated with flowers in an illuminated arena of smiles,
with charming song and vibrating dance.

The event of that day I have not forgotten till today.

I never wanted to keep You away.
I wanted You in the depths of my mind,

I could not understand whether or not,
You heard the words of my core,
uttered during sweet meditation.

Come slowly into the depth of my mind,
beyond the golden seashore,
bathing in the liberation of time.

There is no harm if You do not allow Yourself to be seen.
Calling You, I find You close.

Thus I sing Your name in dream and in my awakened state.

Humanity is buried in dust today.
Why do You remain far away?

Softness is lost and has been converted into stone.
Can't You see that even after observing it?

The pollen and fragrance of flowers have become stationary.
Sandalwood has become the demon's body.

In the recess of every core,
in floral gardens,
why have You allowed poison to disseminate?

All spiritual endeavour, from countless eras,
whatever good and auspicious thought,
crushing all,
and contaminating the moonlight,
why did You allow the devil to dance?

Performing Your meditation,
my mind remains absorbed in You.

The Yamuna river of my mind overflows with joy,
flooding both banks at Your ideation.
In solitary isolation, I hear in my mind,
the numerous stories that someone recounts.

My mind does not heed to any other thought.
It keeps thinking about countless events associated with You.
and remains absorbed in hundreds and hundreds of experiences.

The song keeps floating
in the play of melody
to some unknown place.

Who knows where?
Tell me, who knows?

Night recedes when light shines on the arrival of the new morning.

You are filled with light and darkness.
You are present in the inertia of drowsiness,
in dried up vigour, in sand-beds,
and at the end of the desert thirst.

You stay above achievement and non-achievement.
You witness the end of all desires,
You are the unsought gift and the canopy of forms.
The one beyond form came into fold in meditation.

On this spring evening, covered with moonlight,
looking at Your path in the colourful wind,
tiredness does not come to my mind.

I do not remember, how many eras have thus passed,
nor how many springs have been lost, crying in darkness.

Wherever You have remained,
with whatever feelings You have smiled,
You have been in rhythms and songs.

I do not know how many more eras will pass like that.
I do not know when You will come with items of love,
into the secluded corner of my mind,

with the resonance of consciousness,
or when the distant sky will merge in my life.

who has come with charming adornments?

You are the dark decoration of my eyes,
the golden lotus of my mental pond,
the flowing water of the fountain in the dry desert.

I do not want anything other than You.
You have filled my entire world.
You alone are my all encompassing entity.
Bring ecstasy to me with rhythm and dance.

You are vast and I am an atom,
yet You remain in my home.

I am little and my mind is small,
yet I consider You my own.
Colouring me with Your colour,
smile with sweet and charming feelings.

I have no special qualities,
nor the strength of virtue
nor brilliant skills.
I only have the lotus of my love,
in which You float as fragrance.

For You, I am waiting.
I have been looking at Your path for much time.

How many seconds,
how much time
has lapsed with expectation?
To whom can I explain?

I have forgotten where those trees and stars have gotten lost.
In the evening sky with hues of red, that memory dies crying.

Thinking and thinking,
I do not find any shore or bank.
Wherefrom did I come
and whereto am I floating?

Hope and despair,
hundreds of curiosities,
all dance surrounding You.

You were far away,
but came close and smiled in the mirror of hope.

Extending both hands,
You pulled me.
And though You are formless,
You came in form.

There are branches full of flowers.
There are birds in each arbor.
I am engrossed in You and call and remember You.
Remain in the mental gem casket of everyone.
Go on playing the divine game with all.

Those whose eyes are full of the inertness of drowsiness
lie to themselves even after understanding their own mistakes.
Remaining hidden from their mind,

into their poison pot,
You keep pouring nectar.

In the rainy night,
amidst strikes of lightning,
breaking sleep,
my mind floats unto an unknown arena.

Unable to see close,
with darkness covering far away objects,
in such an environment,
I love You with songs.

Clouds after clouds pour rain heavily.
All the colours of the earth are covered by heaps of water.
With the onset of rains, frogs croak.

And beyond it all,
You smile in heaven.

O Lord, there is no end to Your divine play.
You bring change in the forms and flows of all.
Breaking the slumber of infatuation,
You open the door of consciousness.
Joyfully You dance each moment, with Your illusive creation.

Who is that You,
who came without announcement
and coloured all in Your colour,
attracting the world unto You?

On earth, no one compares to You.
Intellect and wealth are unable to hold You.
In the mind lies suppressed the sincere desire of attainment.
Are You able to listen to it?

You are present in smiles.
In the flute, is Your sound.
I hear You in forms and beyond form.
Considering You my own, I know only You.
Is it due to this, that You brought about this tide?

At times sleeping,
at times standing,
collecting pebbles,
I have filled my home.

Remaining on the shore of the river of life,
I am not in search of the ocean.

The stream of the river flows upward.
My mind knows that the tide comes.
Yet I cannot know
whether the ocean is close or far away.

With the receding tide, the water moves away.
And the thought of the ocean comes to mind.
A deep desire awakens in me to merge with it,
and this attraction makes me oblivious of myself and others.

You are the sweetness of the moon.
You are the sweetness of the distant stars.
Whatever You do,
You do without attachment to good or bad.

Who are You who came into my mind
with such strong impulse
and radiating the warmth of love?

I could not recognise nor understand You.
I became restless and didn't know why.

I never thought, not even in dream,
that I would find You so close.
Beyond the expression of language,
in the ocean of effulgent nectar,
You charmed me with rhythm and song.
I could not understand by intellect what You were doing.

Residing beyond this divine play,
why do You make living beings dance and play?
You are beyond reasoning.
You are beyond forms even though You reside within forms.
Come into my heart.

Come into my meditation with sweet effulgence.

how are You staying far away?

Do not my tearful eyes give You sorrow even for a moment?

Days pass,
evenings intensify,
age after age goes by.

Flowers bloom and eventually merge with the earth,
in the darkness of pain.

I do not have any desire,
I rehearse only one melody.
And in that melody,
I sing songs to be offered at the dust of Your feet.

When the dark clouds vanished,
with song after song,
You came.

On a dark cloudy night,
You spread moonlight.

In the many divine games that You play
You bring out the honey of the heart.
Oblivious of Your own abode,
You pull others by kindling light.

Where the fountain of effulgence meets the ocean of beauty,
beyond that horizon,

secretly from over there,
You narrate the story of love.

Nothing could be seen in the darkness.

Darkness was emitting only darkness.
Then, by Your light, O Lord, I saw You.

The current of a river moves towards the ocean.
The green flow of beauty brings love to the heart.
Filling all with flowers and fruits,
through dances and songs,
the river radiates heavenly brilliance.

The sweet feeling of the mind arises with illumination,
and all tiredness and delusion vanishes in a moment.
Within the unit consciousness,

You are present with floral adornments,
and make everyone dance with sweet, figurative expressions.

I call You during the summer heat,

I call You during rainy nights

I call You in the autumn evening amidst shiulii flowers.
I call You with songs amidst the colourful and tall grass.
I call You during the prewinter period,

amidst the fall of dewdrops, wet with worldly blemish.

I call You during the inertia of winter
when the inert mind seeks You.
I call You during spring, amidst floral decorations.
I call You through the various charming forms of Yours.

I wanted You during the darkness of sorrows,
and also during moonlit nights, with song and dance.

I wanted You in the thorns of flowers,
in the smile of the niipa flower
and in the sound of the sweet and gentle sandal breeze.

I want to see You in all places,
I want to see You in seclusion,
I want to see You on mountain peaks,
during honour or hurt agony,
in pain afflicted nights
and in coloured mornings, with the new sun rising in the eastern sky.

Wanting You means attaining You.
Ideating on You, all desires are extinguished.
Fill my mind with love, layer by layer,
and make me restless with sweet dreams.

After so much penance,
You finally came
and allowed Yourself to be attained.

Era after era, You gave me hope
and made me shed tears.

After such a long time,
You kept Your word.
I had not imagined that You would come close
and illuminate me with Your effulgence.

That which I did not deem possible, has happened.
Bringing heavenly sweetness,
O Charming One,
You came close.

You do not listen to solicitations and prayers.
Hundreds of efforts are unable to melt You.
You came by Your own will,
bestowing the fragrance of love.
I understood that You have shown mercy.

Do You want to see them withering away
due to the heat of sun rays?

With hope after hope,
the day passes.
The petals of flowers have lost their colours.
Fragrance and honey are lost in a vacuum.

When will the moonlit night be consumed
by the blues sky's loving consciousness?

You once came under the kadamba tree.
Now, my mind looks into that direction again and again.

Series of waves,
like those of the blue ocean,
dance and make all dance.
You were there and the world of beauty was there.

Mutually bound, microcosm and Macrocosm were lying side by side.
The small and the Big merged into one another.

My heart, breaking all bondages,
heeds not to obstructions whatsoever.

Bondages, slander and social ill repute -
I have left all inadvertence and fear.
My only ambition is to attain You close.
Come into the firmament of my mind
and smile through foggy times.

O touchstone of the world,
You are the beloved of all.

I consider You the best,
O essence of light during darkness.

Not loving You,
with whose hope shall I live?
Like the fragrance of the shefalii flower,
Your love floats through tall grasses.

Amidst silvery white clouds,
Your memory arises
and removes darkness and all pains on earth.

My mental peacock dances and seeks Your grace.
It wants You close, in exchange of of its beautiful tail's garland.

Into the blue water flow,
the boat of my mind keeps floating.

Facing untameable blows and counterblows of the wind,
I do not know where it is moving toward.

Many a times the sun sets and again rises,
its colourful light reflecting on the sea.
Marking the line of rain on my forehead,
days and nights come and go.

I move solitarily on the path,
observing and listening without speaking,
forgetting all the pain of life,
oblivious of lightning and thunder.

On the seashore,
You had sung a song
and had been with me.

I had picked up shells and filled my scarf bag
without thinking for what purpose.

The day has passed, evening has come.
Colouring the ocean, the sun has set.
I have stopped collecting shells
and there is no work at hand.

In the darkness of night, I die wandering about,
and even the shells are not visible.
What should I do, O Dear One?
Tell me how I may cross the darkness.

The flow of the song moves forward
carving its path as per its choice.

It moves with straightness,
pausing at bent rhythms,
without heeding to any crookedness.

During the colourful dawn,
in the morning,
at the eastern horizon,
the birds sing songs in sweet melody.
In the evening,
while retuning back to their nests,
the birds sing and fill the sky.

You too keep on singing with thunderous sound
and with the laughter of lightning.
You make people quiver with fear.
Into the pessimistic minds,
You fill hope.
This fact the world knows.

Why do You stay far away,
O Lord?
What is the harm in coming close?

You remain infinite,
residing beyond space.

You exist surrounding all,
filling atoms and molecules,
illuminating both inside and outside,
unobstructed by forms and characteristics.

You and I are not two entities.
I am Yours,
Your creation,
floating in the stream like a flower,
and continuously present in Your divine game.

On this night,
reverberated by rains,
along the peacock’s call,
I keep floating to attain You.

Don't You know that?
Don't You see that there is no drowsiness in my eyes?

The fragrance of the ketakii flower says:

“ I also float.
I think about Him with love.
For Him,
I cry and smile.
With His ideation,
I forget the tortures of pain.”

The pollen of niipa flowers quivers with joy,
looking towards the sky with moist eyes.
With a tinkling melody,
the viina of my mind sings,
and heaven and earth dance by Your sweetness.

Into the depth of my mind, You came secretly.

I had been searching You outside only.
You watched me from hiding places and smiled.

The star that was moving through the group "svati",
fell into the bosom of the oyster shell.
The earth joyfully arose and lost itself,
for You had made it dance to Your rhythm.

The dry branches of trees became full of tender leaves.
The tender buds at the tip of stalks awakened with sweet melody.
Kindling the seven-coloured lamp on the eastern horizon,
the news of Your arrival was announced.

on this solitary floral path.

You filled me with a load of love,
today, on this silent day.

Your divine play goes on in light and darkness,
and gives birth to ever-new feelings.
Overwhelmingly, You pour a bouquet of flowers,
all coated with sweetness.

In the sky and air, Your vibration is present
In the outside world Your intense opulence is manifested.
Please put on my garland with love,

for I have threaded it throughout my life.

Giving me hope and expectation,
how much more will You delude me?

Just look, hoping for You,
I do not move from my seat.

I was expecting that during this rain,
You would come into my fold,
with the flow of melody.
You did not come with the clouds
and my hopes got washed away.

I thought that during an autumn morning,
along with the dewdrops of the night jasmine,
I would get You close,
and sing songs to You and salute You hundreds and hundreds of times.

who is that You,
who came today knocking on my door and calling me?

I loved You age after age,
and remained awake with the hope that You would come.

Colouring the dark clouds,
You asked:
”Is there any pain left?”

In the colourful evenings of spring,
in winter mornings, decorated by the night jasmine,
Your trumpet sound overpowers the poverty of poor life.

Today, my rainy season has come early.
It is raining profusely.

"Quickly open wide the closed door of the mind",
lightning calls.

Into the sun burned mind,
new hope has come.
In my dry life,
love has awakened.
Removing roughness,
overflowing water brings greenness.

Due to intense rains,
I am unable to see the sky.
The land is also covered by water
and I am unable to recognise the path.
Losing boundary lines,
all mingles,
and my own self and others become one.

and with a sweet face, scatter pearls.
You are dearer than my life, O most revered One.
Your effulgence shines within and beyond feelings.

You came into my floral garden.
Flowers sing, spreading their beauty.

You provide melody to the strings of Your viina,
and by its tinkling, You charm the world.

You gave whiteness to snow.
You gave smiling greenness to young bunches of grass.
You announced the news of love in the sky, air and everywhere.

You gave sweetness to the human mind.
You gave it hope, love, and soft succulence.
Raising waves, You made streams and rivers flow,
in the grand voyage of life.

I do not know why continuously thinking of You pleases me.
I am unable not to think of You.

With the flow of colours, You smile in the world.
And with love, You float in the sky and air.
Performing the divine play,
You always love.
Nothing compares to You.

You are present in the roar of clouds.
You pour honey in the sandal breeze sonance.
You keep dancing to the swing of cheerful noise,
such that I may not attain You close.

With song after song I search You,
in places of pilgrimage,
in oceans and forests and more forests still.

I search You in river banks,
in series of mountains slopes,
in the tremor of lightning and meteorites.

Wherever I look at,
whatever I hear,
there I search You.
Whatever I cannot think of or find a path for,
only there do I not search.

In the past I did not know You were so close,
sitting secretly in the recess of my mind.
Had I known this, I would not have wasted my time.
I would have attained You in meditation.

why do You not come,

You do not love me.

To whom should tell this?

You keep advancing on the golden chariot,
without ever looking at me.
Still I have hope and confidence
that You may one day come through the light of the dawn.

In the moonlit night,
with a joyful smile,
I have loved You time and again.

During nights of sorrow,
and tears of pain,
You give me consolation.

During happiness, all come.
But during sorrows, they smile from a distance.
This contradiction is Your divine play.

Come when called in joy,
and stay with me in sorrow.
Under no circumstance,
do keep me away.
This much mercy I seek from You,
O Charming One.

Removing the clouds,
radiating light,
You filled me with a variety of colours.

You fulfilled expectation,
satisfied my mind,
and merged with the totality of my life.

The unidentified one no longer remains unknown.
O Dearest,
You are my most desired and revered.

O Respectable One,
filled with love,
You exist in each atom.

I had been searching You outside only.
I did not see You inside,
like the musk deer
whose navel is filled with fragrance, unbeknownst to it.
That illusive play, You keep performing.

This divine game of Yours,
O Dearest,
how can the intellect understand it?

You kindle fire in water,
and decorate the mountains with silver.

Why did You come, then went away far,
leaving me in the desert thirst?
Calling You continuously,
how many nights have I cried?

By constantly thinking of You,
I have forgotten drowsiness.
You neither come nor ever look back.
You came on a solitary night,
with song and dance.

This offering of love,

The honey that was kept covered in my bosom,
is filled with the fragrance of campaka.
The nectar that emanated from my face,
keeps calling You in the sandal breeze.

I keep searching You all over,
in pain and pleasure,
in honour and humiliation.
When will You come,
fulfilling the dream of my hope?
Who knows the date?

I have kept the path decorated with paintings
and I have also threaded a floral garland for You.

Flowers bloom in mind within me secretly,
in the thornless garden that I irrigate with love.

This flower of mine is filled with honey,
exuding colourful pollen.
Bringing the stamen into light,
I pour all nectar into it.

At the end of the darkness,
in the arena of light,
I have lastly found You.

At first, I did not recognise You.
You did not speak either.

After hearing Your song,
only as after effect of its melody,
I could understand.

Why do You not want to come within my reach?
It is difficult to understand.
Do You think that by that
there would be inconvenience in Your divine play?
You are present in the subtlest form
and the devotees would go on desiring You.
Is it due to this
that You come in ever new adornments?

Wherever You reside,
whenever You come,
I want to adore You, with millions of salutations.
At the shore beyond thought,
and beyond all shortages,
come closer with charming decorations.

I did not imagine,
that You would come this time
into my small, leaf thatched hut.

I continued calling and calling,
maintaining hope,
with eyes filled with nothing but tears.

What You do, is impossible to understand.
What exists, is not really what it seems to be.
And what remains, that too is eventually lost.
High mountains merge with the dust.
And within an atom the whole cosmos is held.

Your divine game goes on in light and darkness.
Your charming flute, what a play of melody!
You poured out a bucket full of love,
for each and every human being and each home.

flowers wither away.

Colourful buds oscillate on the swing,

Summer has passed,

Will my spring also wither away,
drying up in disappointment?
This spring is for You,
and is filled with tender leaves.
A rainbow plays the flute in the blue sky.

In the moonlit night,
with illumination,
You secretly came.

By the incantation of mantra,
You awakened the sleeping mental bee of my consciousness.

O distant companion,
moon of the blue sky,
why have You forgotten me?
Tell me.

I continue thinking of You in my mental garden,
I remain engrossed in Your thought, day and night.
Why do You not come?
Why do You not speak?
What is the benefit of continuing Your divine play?

Even though You were late,
You came close.
Even though You had not spoken,
You smiled softly.
With the melody of ankle bells and with coloured lips,
You played Your love-saturated flute.

Come into my mind in solitary mediation,
O Lord.

In the crowd of many,
I am unable to find You.
Come alone secretly.

The job that You have assigned me for life after life,
I shall continue to do to satisfy You.

I also once more request You
to give me more work and fill me with songs.

For You, nothing is consummated.
If there is no task,
I do not find a path.
O eternally tranquil One,
pull me,
merge this unit mind into the Cosmic mind.

You would not come this time
to remove darkness
and bring unlimited effulgence and light to my home.

I kept calling You in darkness,
crying profusely in my secluded house.
That crying of mine and those tears from my eyes,
moistened Your mind and made me understand You.

To stay alone is not pleasing.
So come close and pour Your grace.
All my good and bad
become one under Your lamp.

Still You do not look at me.
Why do You cover Your eyes?

I went far to the sea,
and took baths in pilgrim waters.
Only my inside was not searched.
Is this the reason You do not come?

You went away, giving Your word You would return.
But why did You not come?
My decorating the house was in vain.

The decoration at the entry's gateway broke down
by the load of tender leaves in my garland.

The pollen of flowers float with lamentation.
Struggling with darkness has become a dread.
In mental agony, my mind is restless
and tears flow uncontrollably.

Still, the hope that You will come,
lies preserved in my heart.
Only with that feeling
I forget all sorrows.
Providing ideation,
removing mist,
into the formless ocean,
take me along.

Remembering You,
the boat of my song floats on far and further
to some unknown destination.

It does not want to halt or pause.
With the joy of forward movement,
it looks ahead.

Places of pilgrimage,
towns and cities,
shady houses,
lie on either side.

They are stationary and immobile,
rooted deeply to the earth.
They do not move with the boat,
their feet being bound.

O Lord of the distant heaven,
object of everyone's meditation,
in the core of minds,
You are cherished and cared for.

Providing inspiration to all
and provisions for the journey,
Your divine play and ease shine.

The secret conversation between You and me
on that moonlit night,
I shall keep narrating with song after song,
O beloved Lord.

The hidden histories of each mind in the world,
I shall whisper in Your ears.

Though I know that with Your ears,
You hear any event anywhere,
still, I shall keep singing of the agonies of everyone’s core, everywhere.

Although You are far away,
You come within the compass of my mental mirror.
Yet, I shall attain You still closer still.
It is this feeling that comes to mind.

Even after hundreds of calls,
You do not respond.
You create oscillations at the end of each song.

You may be endlessly mute like a mountain
but You come close through rhythm and measures.

By that stir, You intoxicate the world
and in the motionless body, You fill life.
With the garland of beauty,
You decorate the blue sky and the air.

Coming once, do not leave.
Do not leave the world willingly.
Bringing sweetness to each core,
remain thus each and every moment.

I loved You in the moonlight,
beyond darkness,
surrounded by an ocean of beauty,
with the deep longing of the cakor bird.

Yet, that call of mine,
You did not hear,
pretending to be sleeping like a deaf person on his bed.
You did not understand the agony of the unit mind

and remained busy with Your own activities.

The dark night intensified.
All my longings plummeted.
In that darkness,
You appeared with beautiful and charming adornments.

Come by my songs,
by my meditation,
and by my sincere most call of invocation.

Day and night I create lyrics and rehearse melodies
to be sung to You.

All the petals of my mental flowers
are eagerly engrossed in Your meditation.
Come near with a charming smile
and fulfil my meditation.

What ideation, invocation or call is to be made
is not known to me.
Hence I do not understand formal devotion.
I love and I am expectant of love.
Even should You not love me,
do remain in my heart.

Mentally, in the world of feelings,
You called me by my personal name.

You told me
“ Do not cry.
Do not think yourself abandonned,
I am with You each moment.

In this sustained world,
nobody is alone.
I remain merged with everyone all the time.

In the depth of your mind,
secludedly and on your own,
search me with open eyes.”

Even today I hear the reverberation of that call.
I am unable to forget it whatever be the circumstances,
neither in intense darkness nor on a moonlit night,
neither on auspicious dates nor on inauspicious ones,
neither in good times nor in bad times.

The campaka flower bud says:

”Do not forget me.
I shall continue to dissipate fragrance.

Presently I am a bud,
but I shall become a flower
and oscillate on the swing of a branch.

Finding my place in a garland,
I shall fascinate You.

Day and night,
I maintain only one thought,
one hope and object of restlessness:
that I shall dance and emanate pollen.

I dwell at the edge of a forest.
Loving movement,
I shall entertain You with colour and beauty.”

That day, I was floating in the blue sky thinking about You.

I found You within my mind,
O Formless One,
One with unrecognisable adornments.

Oblivious of the differences between myself and others,
I held Your song in my throat,

loosening all bondages of inertia,
O Ever New One.

I do not want anything.
Worldly desires have been cast aside.
Obstacles of inappropriate time,
ups and downs,
poverty -
all vanish into the void.

Piercing through the intense darkness of the night,
carrying a lamp in hand,
who are You who came?

I had been thinking You do not love me.
Is this the reason You removed darkness?

I move forward like a stream.
I float with all the tortures of the stream.
In my bosom I carry the darkness accumulating at the shore.

This stream flows towards Your island,
sometimes through ebb and sometimes with flow,
sometimes knowingly and sometimes unmindfully,
aiming at the root of the altar of the great merger.

O protector of the world,
look again toward the hut of this poor person.
I am sitting here and waiting for You.

In the restless wind of my mental garden,
O provider of fragrance,
do not remain indifferent and unconcerned.

The days float into the distant blue sky,
months and seasons gushingly get lost who knows where.
Still, I remain awake loving You age after age.

I know that meditating on You is not in vain,
O Lord of lords,
You fulfil the sincere will.
With sweet nectar,
come to the festivity of life,
and in a moment,
destroy all darkness.

However much I try to forget You,
I am unable to forget You.

In the eastern horizon,
Your effulgence shines.

It fills my home with illumination,
engulfing my body with affection,
and showers Your sweetness
on both inert beings and living beings.

He remains in my mind
and stays both in front and behind me.
He is present in affluence and scarcity.
So how can He be forgotten?

He was with me in the past and is present even today.
He will forever remain near.

Due to momentary ego,
not looking at Him,
forgetting Him,
what a pitiable condition comes.

do come near me.

If in the firmament of my mind,

If, to offer You happiness,
I should not qualify with high deservedness,
O effulgent, favourable and charming One,
stay with heavenly shine.

I shall keep loving You eternally,
removing all my dirt.
Showering Your grace,
do come into my fold,

You remain filled with fragrance.

You smile in the soft breeze.
You are coated with delightful honey.

Your sweetness floats with innumerable oscillations,
as though it were the essence of nectar.

O magnanimous One,
come into my mind each moment with beautiful forms.

There exists nothing outside You.
In Your mental world all remain.
Whatever You imagine is Your creation,
which sings a song that touches hearts.

Where is the end of this path?

It has no beginning nor end
and finding the middle portion is exasperating.

There is no known history
of how many ages I have been moving on this path.
Where did I come from?
Where am I drifting to?
Why does light shine ahead of me?

When shall this revolution end?
The One I search is beginningless and endless,
and unconcerned by limitations of time, place and person.
He is beyond imagination,

yet He hides within thought.

Remembering Your path,

You smile from a distance,
destroying darkness with that smile.
I know that You love me,

I can't bear even the smallest gap between us.
Come into my mind and speak lovingly,

My waiting
O Beloved,
I know won't be wasted.

The flower
that bloomed with beauty and fragrance,
its smell won't be lost.

The fragrance of flowers
floats into the distant blue sky.
Can there be an end to it?
So that this fragrance may not be lost
sadhana (spiritual practice) is performed.

You exist, I exist,
Your path exists.
And holding on to that path,
my mental chariot moves forward.
That movement penetrating through the ages,
has only one aim:
that all wills may be fulfilled.

You come in the shade.
You come in the illusive game of maya.
You come in the binding rope of infatuation.

The eight binding fetters, pashas,
and the six internal enemies, sadripus,
that have kept me surrounded,
remembering You, I do not fear them.

You will remain,
I shall remain,
and no one else will stay in between us two.

I do not know what I was in the past.
Moving forward, I do not know what might happen.
I only know that You are with me,
with Your merciful and smiling face.

Who are you,
sitting with eyes wide open and directed unto the sky?

With eyes unblinking,
of whom do you keep thinking?

The one you are looking for
is unidentified and remains forever unknown.
Those who know Him,
get lost in Him.
Have you not heard of this matter?

He loves from a distance
and sings an unrecognisable melody.
He is attained in the mental mirror
when you long for Him in the abode of thought.

I could not understand what had happened.

Who came into my mind
and, colouring my mind,
went away?

He did not allow me to know Him.
Why did He come like that?
There was light in the sky,
which appeared pleasant.

In the sandal breeze,
where did He get lost?
He told me:
”I have not forgotten You.
Wipe away all Your agonies.”

With the days passing by,
that memory appears.
Alas, He did not come to me again.
With that hope,
I sit and remain awake, age after age.
Why did He stir my mind this way?

In my heart,
I search You,

Through songs,
I attained You.

Not knowing whether You are near or far,
my heart had become heavy.

I searched You in the sky and air,
around places of pilgrimage,
with emotions and sentiments.
Searching You, I went to far off places,
but I did not get any response from You.

There is no use in searching You in the distance,
since You always reside within the mind itself.
Only sadhana, the spiritual endeavour to attain You,
makes a person become lost in Your form.

This garland of songs,
I thread for You,

day and night,
with utmost effort,
age after age,
for You to wear.

In this floral garland,
my love is gathered.
It contains memories of innumerable pains and births.

I am creating this garland
with flowers moistened by the dew in the night,
and strung together affectionately.

Remaining on Your neck,
You may always smell its fragrance.
My sole request be that this story of mine,
which You have been keeping far away,
You keep in Your mind.

On this path of my movement,
there is only Your glory,
filled with melodies and tunes.

I do not know whether You are able to hear or not.
I cannot admit that You may not want to listen.
All the nectar of my life,
I pour at Your feet.

Your name is non decaying
and Your love is immortal.
Your abode is non changing
and emits unseen effulgence.
That is why,
I forever sing songs for You,
forgetting my entire ego.

I was under the impression
that I was alone in this captivating world.

By signs and gestures
You awakened a response in my mind.

My mind had forgotten the sky,
the clusters of stars,
the morning light,
the sweet and mild breeze -
in them also I see Your presence.

My mind was lost in the bud,
dancing on the swing with sweet fragrance,
and in the beauty of colourful clouds,
there too, I see Your love.

The moon was lying asleep.
Darkness had intensified.

This event appears in my mind again and again.
None other than You is my own.

Outside was darkness
but my inside was illuminated,
kindled by Your transcendence.
That is why I love You so much,
O Sweet, Charming Artist.

That inner spark stepped outside,
and the whole world became illuminated.
That illumination made me realise You,
O astonishment and beloved of all.

On this dew moistened winter morning
an unknown traveler came.

There was a smile in His charming eyes
and placed on His lips was a captivating flute.
Within moments He won everyone's heart.

I could not recognise Him initially.
He did not introduce Himself either.
He filled melody in the strings of my core,
and my mind became His abode.

I am unable to forget Him anytime.
I shall thus not get lost in the darkness of night.
I see Him again and again inside me.
Why did He do this to me?

You secretly came into my mind,
and left with a smile to an unknown world.

In meditation,
remembering You,
my mind floats far and further.

The whole day I look towards the sky,
with tears flowing from my eyes unobstructedly.
Not knowing what to do
nor what not to do,
my restless mind becomes stupefied due to agony.

My mind does not think about
how many ages passed.
Neither do I know
how many nights were lost.
I meditate on You without interruption,
in the smiling illumination of Your beauty.

The sky weeps and says:

"I hold in my bosom clusters of stars for You."

You provide light and love to all.
Secretly whisper stories into my ears.

You are the singular cognitive entity in the universe.
Hence, all long to attain You.

All want to forget their sorrows by merging in You,
with eagerness and tears in their eyes.

I do not have the knowledge of measuring time.
You are there and I am there, and always have been.
I do not know when this will of mine started,
to move towards our merger, devoid of tiredness and fatigue.

You poured the flow of mercy on the afflicted world.

You gave it to all in each and every home,
so that no one may remain deprived and disgraced.

You made the inert atom burst with life.
You filled the sky and air with hundreds of decorations.
You made evenings emanate colours.

You filled the solid, liquid and luminous factors with varieties of melodies.

That memory of Yours keeps flowing.
All swing in You rhythmic play.
Remembering You,
and dancing around You,
all pains are forgotten.

who are You who came,
pouring nectar onto the earth?

I could not recognise You.
I was in deep sleep
and did not listen to what You told me,
while gently rocking my mind.

You came without speaking and left without saying a word.
All that remained was a glimpse of Your memory.

Colouring my mind with rainbow colours,
You made me Your own.

You may have told me that You would come again
and fill my world with illumination.
The madhavi flower bud would be full of honey by Your love,
O Beloved.

the swan that You glide in the sky,
the heaven that You create in the mind,
let that divine play be eternal in the world.

Let the surrounding darkness not linger in the recess of the mind.
Always keep an eye to eye nearness.

O Beloved, ever alert One,
illuminate all sides of the realm of the infinite.

Even today, the stars look at me,
while the night stupefies.

You are with all, day and night,
individually and collectively,
in pain and in pleasure,
in affluence and fortune.
Yet I wonder, do I become trouble for You?

This divine game of Yours,
I am unable to understand.
From deep within my heart
I want You to remain with me forever.
Taking away my sorrows,
inundate me with joy
and fulfil my hope with flowers and fruits.

You came and satiated my mind.
You showered Your causeless grace upon me.

I had desires but no effort,
yet You came down from heaven to this microcosm.

What is this divine play of Yours?
I am unable to understand it.
Applying my intellect,
I become defeated at each step.
And even after being defeated,
I do not accept it,
and float in the subservience of reactive momenta.

You are the commanding basis of all attributes.
Both inert matter and living beings follow Your will.
O Lord,

You are the essence of all lives on this earth,
in light and in darkness.

Do not go, do not go!
Do not pluck this thread of love!
O Beloved,
do not leave me, do not go!

Dewdrops are resting on the blades of grass.
Do not wipe away them by stamping Your feet on them.

The morning sun enters my bosom
and smiles lovingly with crimson light.
It tells ever new love stories
that the hot midday sun won't burn.

Amidst the grasses, rhythm awakens.
and my mind is filled with the fragrance of the jasmine flower.
In the whole world, Your song is sung.

Don't You know this fact?

With Your ideation my mind is saturated
and I forget all sorrows.

You call me through light
so that I may not get lost in the darkness.
You were in the past and exist even today,
dancing with joy.
This fact I understand.

You are not merciless, this I admit.
But why You do not come near,
I do not know.
Full of hope,
ever vibrating my mind,
I continue singing songs.

I float on towards the land of the moon.
How pleasing! How pleasing!

You are the one lying ahead, in whom all merge.
The entire world is filled with only that one’s light.

I am unable to see obstacles.
There is no backward pull.
Wherever and whenever I look,
I recognise all as my own.
By loving that one and coming close to that one,
all darkness is removed within moments.

You are devoid of any error or lapse, power of infatuation,
O most beloved,

You have unlimited affection.
Taking all along,
explaining the absolute reality,
into the mind of all,
pour the flow of love.

Roaming through a plethora of paths,
remembering You,
tell me why I am unable to see You?

Performing my spiritual practices
and obtaining Your compassion,
why do You keep eluding me?

You are the beloved of all,
the object of everyone's meditation.
You are ever adored by all minds.
Bringing satiation to them,
You kindle the unshakable flame of their lamp.

You keep performing Your illusive play,
Though there is no harm in it,
I desire to attain You easily on call.
Hence I offer to You all my love.
Do make me vibrant with Your thought.

You secretly came into the recess of my mind.

With the sound of the wind,
in the garden of campa flowers,
You oscillated in hundreds of ways.

Having seen these swings,
I understood that You had come.
Today You heard the call that had lasted for eras and eras.
You came and knew the story of my mind,

and filled me with happiness.

By that swing,
the animals and birds dance.
The branches of trees swing with rhythm and melody.
In whoever I look at, I see You
and this gives me much joy.

O ocean of melodies,

come into my meditation.

You scattered series of waves in the world,
instantly removing the pitch darkness.
You remain above all desires and attainments,
constantly providing ever new gifts.

Whatever songs exist in the world,
they all vibrate with Your sound.
By Your love and affection,
they are merged in the journey towards the forever unknown One.

Riding the waves on the bank of the dark ocean,
You carried with You melodies, rhythms and tunes.

Do not go away.
Keep me forever with You.
Keep me surrounded
by the scattering brilliance of divine feelings.

O Beloved,
come and remain within me.

The air is now scented with sweetness
and Your ankle bells resound in my mind.

The Yamuna river of my mind flows upwards.
It overflows without any consideration of time.
Restlessly ideating on You,
it longs to see You in charming adornment.

The peacock keeps dancing to Your tune.
It spreads its tail, sings and looks at the clouds in the sky.
It opens its beautiful tail,

awakening oscillations,
and seeks You closer still.

Your earth revolves around the sun,
age after age,
with rhythm and dance.
It follows Your instructions.
It moves by Your love and affection.

That love and affection-filled song,
to whom shall I sing?
Ideating on You
I shall attain You,
and all darkness be thus destroyed.

My fate,
I consider within You.
In my throat,
Your song is always sung.
Do listen for a moment.

I do not know where I move every single moment.
Carrying out my meditation and remembering You,
pour honey onto my appellation.

On this cloud-covered, rainy evening,
my mind keeps drifting away.

The moon is covered.
The stars are covered.
Yet my mental peacock dances in the moonlight.
O by what divine play?

Each moment, its dance goes on,
inquiring with impulse
whether or not He may have come to this earth.
Everything of the earth is engrossed in rhythm,
restless by that fountain of love.

The Unknown Traveler has entered my mind
and provides the touch of life each moment.
Making the garden of my mind fragrant,
He makes me merge in Him.

mingle the sweetness of Your mind.

Wipe away the tears
of those who are downtrodden
and crying in pain.

There are no leaves on the mango branches.
Decorate people's minds and make them shine.
With that light, conquer the world,
making people forget the differences amongst themselves.

The opportunity may not arise all too often.
Whatever You want, You do ignoring admonitions.
Protecting the suppressed ones,
make them enjoy pleasures,
and sing the mantra of the great merger.

Restlessly, I am running around to come close to You.

In my mind there is only one thought.

I constantly revolve around that single one,
that single one who is the beloved of all.

Pouring out mental sweetness
and kindling a lamp,
You left.

In the pitch darkness, I was unable to see anything.
Mistaking mundane knowledge as self-knowledge,

I used to move towards a mirage.
You broke my delusion and showed me the path.

You kindly showed the beacon of the path,
O Lord.
Tell me, who but You would know the intricacies of Your path?
You showered You grace upon me and satiated my heart.

What have You mentally done to thus pull me?

You keep smiling in daylight
and hide in the darkness of night.

All ascetics, age after age,
make festivities revolving around You.
Singing from an unknown place,
You fill flowers with fragrance.

I am a most insignificant servant,
and do not know scriptures or philosophy.
In my mind,
mornings and evenings,
why do You keep calling me?

I continue thinking of You.
Come near me,
nothing else do I want.

You were mine in the past.
Why did You cast me aside?
Why did You forget me?
Please tell me.

You will be mine again in the future.
You shall not reject me again.
Even if You wanted to, You would not be able to.
This fact I know for sure.

In my mind there was only hope.
Beside Your love, I didn't want anything else.

I do not ask for heaps of gems and pearls with golden brilliance,
shining in various colours.

This world essentially comes and goes,
yet, how much of the actual essence can it provide?
It comes and goes in the mental mirror.
It is present now and subsequently vanishes.

The love with which the world is held,
that love keeps dancing around You continuously.
The stream of compassion flows on ceaselessly.
Smile and provide a wee bit of it.

The kaostubha diamond, that golden chain,
is but a baseless load to life.
You alone are the quintessence, the essence of all essences.
O Lord,

come and look at me with compassionate eyes.

On this silent and lonesome night,
secretly enter my mind,
O most beloved.

After shefalii flowers have dropped,
when fog is removed,
privately come into my mind.

Since many an era,
I have loved You,
during affluence,
and in pain and agony.
With heavenly sweetness,
enter my consciousness,
and remain with me each moment.

Recognising You,
everything is recognised.
Knowing You,
ignorance vanishes.
Fulfill my spiritual endeavour,
and remind me of this fact song after song.

Nobody shall see,
nobody shall know,
nobody shall listen to Your talk.
When You are there
and Your love is present,
no other existence in the world remains.

He came as a guest,
without consideration of the date.
He went away,
without informing anyone.

Did He really come
or was it just an illusion?
How could He do this to me?

Even today I see His colour in my mental garden,
and I search Him each moment in the sky and air.
I continue searching Him with love,
in sleep, during wakefulness and in deep dreams.

O unseen One,
supreme and precious treasure,
I attained You as ocean.
Mistaking Him not to be mine,
I kept Him away.
Hence He went away far and further still.

My mind has forgotten when,
in the floral garden,
alongside the honeybee,
our meeting took place.

But that song of love and sweet memory,
I am unable to forget.

Even today He makes me swing and oscillate.
I become restless and forget my pain.
The bunches of buds throb with quiver.
To where they float, I do not know.

Through rainbow colours,
You keep calling me,
always saying "come, come, come".
Yet due to some shortcoming and impurity,
though I come near Him, He does not stay.

I have been looking at Your path.
I do not know for how many lives.

The ray of hope has lost its glow.
Can't You see that with Your eyes?

The sprout that was within the seed,
today has grown up, willing to the touch the sky.
Yet, in the absence of love
it resembles a cactus amidst the desert wind.

I wished and will continue to do so.
I shall bloom flowers in the desert sand.
I shall remove all wants,
unseen in the vibration of thought.

You kindle light in the dark mind

You decorate the petals of flowers with colours,
and pour honey into hearts.

You pull close to You.

I do not want power and wealth.
O moon of the firmament of my mind,

With gentle feet,
come into my mind,
that we may secretly introduce ourselves to one another.

O unknown One,
come softly in the rainy wind, in clouds and in water.

Let Your arrival into my mind colour my life.
Let those sitting idly with drowsiness and lethargy,
dance and find Your mercy.

Your divine play,
oscillating with love,
fuses inert and living beings into one.
Maintaining faults and defects serves no purpose.
By Your gesture, pull all close.

Your song floats in the sky and in the wind.
In melodies and in tinkling sounds,
You give humanity love.
From within Your mind,
Your sound resonates.

Defects and errors are present in human beings only.
This is why they are called 'small ones'.

In this world, You are beyond comparison.
You are the excellent most.

Why do You remain at a distance?

O Lord,

O companion of all,
from time immemorial and for all time to come,
You exist hidden in the mirror of minds.

You remain full of abundant moonlight,
exuding the charming music of Your flute.
In the prettiness of flowers and the beauty of Your garden,
You dance with rhythm and beats.

In the lamp of my life,
You are its flame.
You never hate anyone.
You are the moon in the firmament of my mind,
and fill it with honey
that You scatter in the air of consciousness.

You are the love of welfare.

Desire and achievement - none of that remains,

With open eyes, I forever see Your unlimited mercy.

O sunflower,
why do you look up like this?

The one you are looking for,
do you find Him in the bosom of the distant blue sky?

There is no rise or fall for Him,
He constantly annihilates darkness.
He simply smiles, both in pain and pleasure.

Sing to Him a song of love
and move ahead towards your cherished goal.
All histories of innermost pain,
float undeterredly unto Him.

Day and night,
I remain seated,
waiting and hoping for His arrival,
and forgetting the date.

Though You understand my pain
You do not listen to me
and do not even look at me with Your own eyes.

My flower dried up due to intense sunshine,
losing its fragrance and evaporating its honey.
Though You had come close,
You left moments later.

I became a stranger in my own world.
Nobody would recognise me.
You came into my fold,
and this beautiful world smiled,
and my dream was fulfilled.

At the end of the night,
in the eastern sky,
there is a ray of crimson light.

You are the beloved of all and You compare to none.

Merging in You
by taking Your ideation with momentum,
is the hope of all living beings.

The whole night,
I have been calling You.
I have been singing Your song in the dense darkness.
You are the adorable sun that threads companionship.

By Your arrival,
darkness is dispelled.
By Your resonance,
life is filled in inert beings.
You exist, hence all exist.
Only You are worthy of being remembered.

You are celebrated in the whole world.
Your abode is the firmament of mind.

You are adored both in heaven and hell.
You scatter Your mercy from place to place.

Your attributes cannot be showcased.
Your beauty is unlimited.
In the depths of oceans
and on the top of icy mountains
Your love floats.

Not seeing You is my fault.
The microcosm's bondages are deludingly gratifying.
Removing obstructing memories,
I merge in the thought of only You.

Loving from a distance equals nothing.

I kept the path of Your arrival
decorated with colourful paint the whole time.

I placed mango leaves on the top of the pot
and filled my home with sweet fragrant flowers.
I also lighted the flame of the ghee lamp
so that there may be no lapse in welcoming You.

I kept the mirror of my mind clean.
I filled with fragrance the buds of my feelings.
In the rainy breeze,
I float smilingly,
hoping for Your touch,
O embodiment of songs.

You came,
kindled light
and dispelled darkness from my mind.

I was lying in a dark, deep slumber.
You woke me up.

The pitch darkness has ended.
The eastern sky got coloured with crimson light.
The nectar of love awakened in the human mind,
thereby vibrating the sky and the air.

You came, stepping on the sleeping and green young grass
and humming a song.

Outside and inside,
openly and secretly,
You made everyone dance with love.

You are the dear diamond of the dark mine,
and the conglomeration of dreamy moonlight.

You move forward with rhythm and song
and provide touch to the sandal breeze.
During intense hot sun and cold inertia,
You play Your charming flute to make one forget pain.

Your divine play is present in different spheres and in different ages.
Some smile and some cry secretly.

You are free and I salute You.
Your smile is pearl scattering.

O charming one,
come into this illusory world,
bringing with You all the sweetness of Your mind.

Come, wearing a garland over Your bosom,
threaded with all the happiness of the world
and the sorrows of all minds.

You do not discriminate between what is limited or infinite,
and neither follow theories of duality or singularness.
In the water of raging oceans and restless rivers,

You move ahead without break or pause, steering the boat.

You do not want the threat of hatred and envy.
You do not tolerate exploitation and retaliation.
Perfection of all is Your spiritual endeavour.
Hence You are embedded in the hopes of everyone.

A floral garland was in my hands.

to sing for You with all my heart.
Periods passed.
Days and ages passed.
But to my song You did not listen.

I remain engrossed in the rhythm of dance steps.
I take Your ideation to create mudras.
O unknown and beloved One,
with the tinkling sound of ankle bells,
You glid away.

during pain, sorrow and consolation.

You are the central gem within effulgence.
You are the lotus within the sea of beauty.
I consider You supreme amidst the excellent.
That is why I beg for Your mercy.

Setbacks on the path are bound to occur
but can they halt my movement?
Ignoring all obstacles,
I shall move forward with Your inspiration.

By taking inspiration from only one ideology
humanity achieves greatness.

the sleep of infatuation.

Keep the lamp of hope glowing,
and guide me along the path of light.

So that darkness may not stay
by thinking of negation, desires should not arise.
The one with whom You are present has no shortage.
Remove the dirt and mud of sin.

I am moving and shall continue to move
holding on to Your path,
O Lord,
just look into my heart and smile.

You observe everyone's everything
and keep all at their appropriate places.

You bestow sweetness,
and continue smiling in one's mind.

and is located in the future.
You are hidden within and beyond thought.
Project the flame of the lamp of intuition unto all.

Amidst annihilating fire and destructive lightning,
I have been looking for the light of the moon.

I have been crying for ages and ages,
my lamentation oozing through the gaps of clouds.
Glimpses of light and moments of smile,
make me forget the coming and going of pain.

In my mental mirror Your effulgence appears,
sometimes clearly and sometimes faintly.
When it is lost to a far and unknown world
mist engulfs my life.

In the dense and rainy night
You secretly came into my mind.

The sky was overcast with clouds.
A storm was raging.
Yet You came with silent feet.

You did not knock on my door.
You did not call to wake me up.
On your arrival,
the bolt dropped with the touch of light.

That rainy night now seem long ago.
Many eras came and merged into the past.
But the memory of that day,
that dreamy song,
even today continuously floats along on its own.

who are You
who came and brought about a flood of light?

I used to move solitarily.
You showed me the beacon of the path.

I called so much and cried just as much.
I stood in hopelessness and paused many a time.
You made me forget my pain.

I used to think that I was alone
and that no one was available to understand my sorrows.
You broke this mistake.

Days passed, moments passed.
I eventually became acquainted with You.
I understood that in this world nobody is ever alone.
You accompany all each moment.

You came into my life,
and poured the beauty of nectar into my song.

You continuously move ahead, rushing towards infinity.
You keep floating towards the sphere of flawlessness.

You never heed to any bondage.
No obstacle is able to stop You in any way.
Constantly smiling,
loving all,
taking all along,
You move on the path.

In the festivity of life
You are the presiding deity.
That is why all express their salutation to You.
Due to being invited and invoked,
You enter everyone’s mind
and fill everyone's mental world.

Today, in the mirror of my mind,
in an ocean of beauty,
I recognised that stealer of mind.

Wiping away all my tears,
He applied the mark of love onto my eyes.

Many ages had passed waiting.
Many garlands had withered and fallen.
Many nights had merged into mornings.
Why look back into that past?

Spring has awakened in my life,
with the arrival of the Unknown Traveler.
My mental peacock spreads its tail,
and, frenzied with its rhythm, I dance.

I love You.
Yet You pretend not to understand this fact, do You?

I sit and wait with hope.
Don't You ever think about me and look at me in Your leisure time?

My life is for You only.
My world is with Your tune only.
In the far off world of feelings,
attaining You is my spiritual endeavour.

What I want and what I do not want
becomes irrelevant when coming near You.
Colouring my sincere longing,
fill my mind with Your colour.

With Your arrival,
flowers bloom in various gardens and obtain colours.

Buds of hope are filled with honey,
and language is expressed in the mouths of the dumb.

The sandal breeze today is unmindful.
To where it flows, is unknown to it.
There is nothing hindering its journey towards infinity.
It wants to merge with You.

Amidst pollen of flowers swinging to and fro,
heaven shines,
descending to this mortal world.
Why cry further with a broken heart?

The world of songs is not alone.
It is not alone.

In rhythm and melody,
in my heart,
You remain ever visible.

I forget my own self-acquaintance
and understand that nothing is in fact mine.
Thus losing all,
I become absorbed in sweet bliss.

I was Yours,
I am Yours,
and I shall keep floating in Your songs.
Attaining all in the flow of nectar, I survive.

I do not know Your name.
I do not know much about You.
Yet I am in love with You.
Don't You know this fact?

I have been longing for You again and again.
Have You ever heard my call?

In the darkness of the darkest night,
in the sweet effulgence of light,
with all my love,
I have been calling You day and night.
I have aspired for You in meditation.
I continue the spiritual endeavour.

I yearned for You in the dreams of painful nights.
I know only You.
I experienced You as mine.
I am unable to forget You.

there is no light in the world
and everything becomes black.

O Lord,
come into my eyes.
Come with dreamy feet.
Speak to me through whispers
that no one in the world may know.

You came to my door by mistake.

I am poor and destitute.
There is nothing in my home to welcome You.

I could not decorate the house.
I have nothing to please and satiate You.
With an empty heart I request You,
O condoner of lapses, do come inside.

I kept my mental lotus blooming.
I poured sweet fragrance into it.
Kindly touch it,
just as the moon touches the lily.

He told that He would return.
Why did He not come?

I kindled light in the dark house.
Why did He not see it?

In the annihilating dark night
my lamp got extinguished by the wind.
Yet, illuminating the darkness,
He did not show Himself.

I remain alone, sitting in the darkness.
I keep counting moments and seconds.
This counting of mine has not ended till today.

This heart of mine sings Your victory song.
I move on Your path forgetting my ego,
free from thoughts, in the psychic realm.

With the touch of sandal and the fragrance of flowers,
the honeybee today sings with joy.

The flow of its song is full of melody and tune
and floats away into the distant blue sky.

There may arise no other opportunity for you.
The limitations of time have become baseless.
With rhythmic beats and dance,
His nectar flows in thought waves.

Come and let that honeybee bestow sweetness,
sounding its tune with impulse,
both within and without.
I shall keep You in my mind continuously,
that I may never lose You.

I wanted to forget You.
But I am unable to do so.
Tell me why.

Why does my mind
return to think about You again and again?

During daytime, I ought to remain busy with work,
amidst a multitude of people in the ocean of action.
Yet, in regular intervals someone calls me to tell me about You.

During nights, I ought to remain in deep sleep,
under the cover of intense darkness.
Yet, amidst glimpses of light,
Your affection is conveyed each moment.

While moving on the path in the dark night,
You Lord, are my polestar
that I look at.

I look at You wherever I am and whatever I think,
be it in the ocean of joy or with tears in my eyes.

Whatever people understand by "peace",
they search for it and for everything else within You.
You are the ocean of peace, filled with nectar.

This world is a mixture of pain and pleasure.
Nobody is perfect or self sufficient.
All come and go, alas unknowingly,
to beyond the shore of thought.

this beautiful earth -
everything is filled with Your resonance.

On this evening immersed in the fragrance of shefali flowers,
my mind floats away on the boat of white clouds.

Under the moonlight, in this illusory world,
my mind refuses to accept any bondage.

What is this, calling me from behind, and to which I do not want to listen?
There cannot be any backward pull of the past.

I wish to move ahead only,
placing my footstep on the golden beach.

My companion and friend leads me ahead,
keeping the light kindled on the path, layer by layer.
Today, everything of mine is for Him.

Memories of pain and pleasures all lose themselves in Him.

Who else on this earth is mine? Tell me.

I rehearse the tune,
tie the strings
and remain vibrant with Your ideation.

The sweet sandal breeze
again and again fills my mind.
It makes my solitary love restless
with melodies and measures.

The strings of my viina I have attuned.
With hundreds of feelings I have raised numerous notes.
By Your inspiration and my sincerity,

make it shine.

You came into the firmament of my mind.

Scattering sweetness,
filling my heart,
in which depth did You hide?

Why do You keep performing this game of hide and seek?
You intoxicate with joy and make one cry profusely.
From a distance only You extend Your hand.
Into what delusion have You thrown me?

You did not come close and did not listen to my call.
I have not forgotten Your inviting hand.

Yet, if You do not allow me to hold Your feet,
I shall keep You tied in my mind each moment.

The dark night ended,
and light came and came.
Light came and came.

The colourful beauty of the morning sun
arose on the eastern horizon.

That which I had not been able to imagine, I could see
and my life and mind became colourful.

By His colour and with His affection,
everything was filled with honey.

I could not find a place to remain hidden,
as though someone kept telling me and instil in me the desire to attain You.

For You, the colourful morning came.
To awaken You, the birds call.
By Your ideation and by Your thought,
love bloomed.

Knowingly or unknowingly,
I want You in the cascade of my mind.

I am confident that You will come.
I thus remain hopeful day and night.

Many days have passed.
Many evenings came.
And many flowers withered due to heat.
Many solar eclipses covered the sun.
All that history I have now forgotten.

Many nights came to an end.
Much moonlight was lost.
The fragrance of my garden evaporated into the sky.
Many moons were eclipsed,
in merciless and dense darkness.

Trying to forget that mental darkness,
I keep kindling my lamp.

Give my hands the torch flame,
so that, kindling light,
I shall keep gliding like a swan.

O great vital force of all,
destroy the darkness of the world.
Your nearness brings forth ever new songs.
It fills melody and rhythm in different worlds.
Thus, speechless with astonishment, I look upwards.

With Your flame,
O Lord,
I light Your lamp.
The ghee and the wick is Yours only.
Nothing belongs to me.
Provide that illumination,
with which I shall remove darkness,
and see that other than You nothing else exists.

I went to search You again and again,
but I returned each time with disappointment.

Look at me for a moment with merciful eyes.
I continue begging for a particle of Your grace.

By unknowingly aggrandising myself,
I destroy my own self.
I shall bring about real progress to this unit mind,
tearing apart the darkness.

I know very well that nothing really belongs to me.
Yet I keep mistaking Your belongings as mine.
Being afflicted by scarcity seems undesirable,
however, observing closely, what is attained?

Taking Your name, I sing
and move ahead on Your path.

Engrossed in Your ideation,
I hold Your lamp.

You are the singular quintessence.
Understanding Your form is extremely difficult.
Not being able to understand with my intellect,
I seek the wee bit of Your grace.

You are with me and fill my heart.
On heaven and earth,
You apply colours.
O bodiless guest,
You are not barred by time.
That is why I offer unto You my everything.

In the world,
You remained hidden.
O difficult to understand One,
what a divine play of Yours is this?

Why don't You come close?
Who knows why do You perform this colourful game?

I long for You with hope in my eyes,
but I am unable to see You anywhere.
I wander about in the jungle like a musk deer.
I do not know why do You make me rush about here and there.

You are beyond language.
You coat the pollen of feelings with honey.
In pain and pleasure,
You keep me in Your eyes.
I do not know what You do all alone.

I have heard that sometimes,
forgetting the path,
You come in someone's house for a moment.

You generally go as per the rules and orders of the scriptures.
Thinking of that,

I mentally cry helplessly.

I have not accumulated virtues.
My collection is just zero.
I did not perform Your work.
There is no experience of it.
And I remain bound in materialistic bondages.

I have no knowledge of philosophy.
I have never deeply studied the scriptures.
I love You and seek Your smile.
I do not want abundant grace.
Just a wee bit of Your grace,
do grant me.

I have brought the garland of Your choice
O Lord,
to put around Your neck.

From my mental garden
I have picked flowers,
and threaded them all by myself with the twine of love.

My garland contains the sandal paste of my core,
and is filled with the entire sweetness of my heart.
I anxiously sit by the door,

listening for Your footstep each moment.

Do not disappoint me.
Look at me with merciful eyes.
In my distressed life, rise new tides.
Wipe all good and bad from my mind.
I have come to take perfect shelter in You.

on a golden beam of light.

The slumber of inertia has been banished
by Your ceaseless cadence.

You came in a beautiful rhythm,
glittering with Your flow of bliss,
illuminating darkness
with the radiance of joy.

You are everywhere,
filling stamens with honey.
You came into my mind with irresistible charm,
as the exquisite beauty of the madhavii flower.

Please come to my house.

And after finishing Your visit to my home,
enter my feelings.

The torch that You kept burning,
forever smile in its flame.

I do not want anything from You.
Rather, I want to give away all that is present in me.
The intense infatuation that kept me surrounded,

destroy it by that flame.

I act according to the words that I speak.
I do not fear any test.
I remember You in all my actions.
You constantly shine in the firmament of my mind.

When I first became acquainted with You,
today seems irrelevant.

I have forgotten the year and date.
All complexes and fears have been removed.

Which unknown origin
did I come floating from,
in the stream of whose thoughts?
That unknown origin is You,
O Lord,
this I have understood most definitely.

Even today I move towards that unknown origin,
as You keep calling me through rhythm and songs.
O formless embodiment of consciousness,
all knowledge terminates in You.

thinking of You only.

All the attractive beauty of the world of mine is lost
and I now only sing Your song.

The worn out environment in which I was coming and going,
the torn boundary which I was seeing and hearing,

the decayed intervals in which I was weaving the web of imaginations,
the central gem of all -

I understand to be You.

Thinking of You, limitations dissolve into unlimitedness.
Singing Your song, my heart becomes restless.

Between You and me, there is no more obstruction,
I thus take shelter at Your feet.

each atom became restless with light.

The inertial sleep was broken within moments.
All fatigue and delusions was torn in seconds.
By the stream of light,
the darkness of disgrace became illuminated with various colours.

Whatever I could not imagine, has happened.
In the darkness, feelings of light appeared.
The fountain of love arose in flashes, in my long dark night.

Who is that unknown traveler
who came and kindled light in my dark house?

There was no speech coming from His mouth
but on His lips a smile was flowing.

He came silently from some unknown source.
After finishing His work,
He left on some unknown path.
Coming and loving for only a moment,
why did He leave a permanent impression on me?

I did not want to know about Him at that time,
but my mind recalls the event
of our becoming acquainted with one another even today.
Thinking of Him,

about the sweetness and intoxication He gave,
enchants me forever.

On a moonlit night,
along with the moon,
what did You come for?

In the recess of my mind,
in the mild breeze,
You secretly sang a song.

I was alone, engrossed in deep thought.
I did not observe when the moonlight vanished.
White clouds sang through the rifts of golden lines
and the night began to shine.

Thinking about it, my mind quivers with pleasure.
Heaven descends on this muddy earth.
Amidst all experiences, this memory remains imprinted,
surrounding me day and night.

The colourful fairy,
whose name is not known,
came close without any hindrance.

It told me smilingly,
with golden light marked eyes:

“My dwelling is in the world of light,
and I move all over the world for work.
I pull close those who want and love me.
I always move and fly without pause.
I get bound by the rope of love
and float in the melody of songs.”

O beloved,
on this moonlit night,
amidst the mild breeze,
why do You remain far away?

Come with coloured lips
and red coloured palms,
and remove my intense infatuation.

In sleep, in dream and in wakefulness,
I remember You while hearing and meditating.
Who else is my own other than You?
Whom I should offer the garland threaded with the twine of love?

O innermost one,
smile inside,
and reduce my earthly load.
Intoxicating me with tinkle of Your lyre,
bring the morning to replace the night of my life.

You have come!
You have come!
You have come!
By whose pull?

To the dust of this earth,
You descended,
ignoring all feelings.

There were temples constructed with beautiful stones,
decorated ponds,

and the pious water of the pilgrimage.
You did not go anywhere.
You did not take anything.
Why did You come empty-minded?

The flame of fire with which You burn the comet,
the torch of fire of which the demonic planets Rahu and Ketu run away in fear,
the stable form in which all purpose is located,

You pull all unto Yourself.

You created the universe.
Yet what did You then do?
You hid Yourself.

You did not stay in a temple.
You remained in the depth of mind.

It is difficult to understand Your divine game.
Even logic and reasoning must accept defeat.
You do not lie on a floral bed.
You are seated on a throne.

You, O Lord, are the shelter of all.
Creation and sustenance dissolve into You.
That is why all those,
in whose hearts You provided momentum,
sing of Your victory.

There were tears in my eyes
the day You went away.

I could not stop them from flowing that dark night.

Looking into my eyes,
You told:

“I shall come again
and stay in this world of yours.
Do not forget me.”

I asked:

“When will You come?
How many ages will I have to wait?”

You told:

“When you call me with love,
then we shall meet.”

O Lotus,
I grew up like a thorn in Your stem.

With momentum, the flood came down,
intoxicating me with a strong upsurge of emotions.

I was down in the pond,
amidst the muddy water.
Holding Your head,
I forgot all pains.

In life numerous blows and counter blows come.
So that You may not be torn,
I keep You lifted up.

I thought You would come,
having given Your word.

You would honour Your word,
and, unlike dew drops falling on the sand,
I would not instantly dry up.

In case of microcosms, these are misdeeds.
In case of Macrocosm, they are called divine play, liila.
By giving Your word and not honouring it,

who would support You? Tell me.

I am small, this is my only crime.
But in insignificant ones also longings are present.
Knowing this, why didn't You reduce the inadvertence?
By what skill can I show my face?

On a heavily rainy day,
along with the dark clouds
and in the resonance of the wind,
You came.

Day and night,
the sound You play on the monochord
makes me restless.

The sun is covered by dark cloud.
The stormy wind blows with meteoritic speed.
The peacock of my mind dances with momentum.
Into its raised tail, You fill sweetness by singing a melody.

Today, in the bamboo grove,
green decoration is seen.
The grasses in the bamboo jungle are charming.
Into the lotus,
the night lotus,
the water lily
and the young grass,
what abundant green beauty have You poured?

O most beautiful gem of all,
O selected gem from the ocean,
You came into the lake of beauty.

You came with a mindset of thoughtlessness.
You filled minds with feelings.
And the sky and the underworld became one.

In between the crimson dawn and the evening's red hues,
You bring the colourful day and the pollen of flowers.
The world keeps floating with Your love.

You are the delight of all minds.

With the arrival of the darkness filled night,
the star studded sky brings a sweet smile.
The swan in the moonlight floats singing Your song.
You are the ornament of the whole world.

Why You created this world with Your liila, in a sportive fashion,
I do not know.

What this maya is,
this delusion, this mystery,
I do not understand at all.

The one I love,
and for whom I cry and smile in pain and pleasure,
this void mind of mine does not accept.

He who saves life from the cold by providing sunshine,
He who provides coolness and softness in summer,

He who intoxicates with fragrances in autumn and spring,
Him, my mind does not accept.

I want You wholeheartedly,
in exchange of everything.

I do not want anything close to me.
Rather, I want to distance myself from everything.

You gave the sky, the air,
and endless opportunities for expansion.
You even gave what I did not want,
without assessing my good or bad qualities.

To the autumn evening, You gave the shefali flower.
You gave bunches of flowers amidst the sound of the sandal breeze.
Whatever my want,

even without telling You,
You provide in abundance.

Though You are within me and also surrounding me,
I can not see You.
Please do look at me.

With crimson light, You wake me up.
With the chirping of birds, You fill my mind.
The nectar that fountains in the garden of heaven,
with that nectar, fill the pot of my life.

My mind dances into the distant heaven.
It rushes towards infinity without bothering for obstructions.
I hold You in my mind, knowing that You are with me.
I move on with the conviction that You are mine.

Yet not a single hope of mine is fulfilled.

I hoped that in the sky,

I hoped that I would speak out,
explaining my restlessness,
and thread all the agonies of my core into a mental garland
that I would offer to You.

I kept the evening lamp kindled,
placing it at the root of this shefali flower.

I have nothing left to desire for
as the fragrance of love has been pasted onto my inner core.

There is nothing like coming and going for You.
You are eternal and always have been,
and shall remain so in future.
Hence, forgetting my own self,
all I can do is call You closer.

You were in my mind.
You are present in my memory.
You have existed age after age, day and night.
My mind wants to come close to You,
carefully hiding its own imperfections.

On this illuminated and rainy evening,
my mind drifts away far,
with the restless wind,
amidst an enchanting resonance.

The sandal breeze came today and secretly whispered,

“Do not go away but rather stay here.
The one who you want wishes to come.”

How many evenings and nights have since passed?
How many days and nights have gone by?
I shall not forget that one day that guest will come,
whose smile would stupefy the earth.

You came with lightning and fire,
and gave tranquil beauty,
thus explaining to all Your contradictory divine play.

You are both harsh and soft in an infinite psychic sphere.
With hundreds of forms and hundreds of styles,

You are present in the sky and in the netherworld.

Attempting to understand You,
no estimation can be made.
Trying to search You,
the microcosmic stance becomes lost.

You are incomparably cosmic and dear to all.
Because You exist,
the flow of life is present in the world.

The meagre ego and false prestige bow down by Your fragrance, O Lord.
You bestow the sweetness of affection,

and keep the world filled with heavenly nectar at all times.

I have loved You mentally in hundreds of ways.

O God of my heart,
why didn't You come?
What made You stay far away?

Unseen and with quiver You keep singing,
letting the stream of melody flow wholeheartedly.
The smiling tinkling of the strings of Your viina,
lifts me off as if in an airplane.

This attraction of Yours,
I cannot let go.
Its fragrance is embedded in my heart.
Its fragrant and affectionate love pulls me without obstruction.

Let not this garland of songs dry out in the hot desert wind.

That it be moistened,
may, by Your grace,
the water of heavenly peace always remain with me.

With the sweetness of my mind,
I made flowers bloom.
With meticulous care,
I threaded this garland of love.
To put it around Your neck,
I anxiously look at the path of Your arrival day and night.

Your inspiration brings sweetness to my mind.
An iota of Your grace is enough to fill my heart.
To offer You my love with conviction,
my mind remains impatient.

O companion for eternal time,
come close and break my slumber.

Wake me when engrossed in materialistic thoughts.

Nothing is unknown to You.
You constantly pervade each pore.
Forgetting You, I become lost in matter.
Pull me closer and bring me onto the proper path.

This divine play is without beginning or end.
Searching You is most difficult.
The delusion does permit me to see anything.
Therefore do kindle the lamp.

The honey in the mango grove is withering.

The spring wind is vanishing in the horizon.

Due to the sun's intense heat the cuckoo forgets its song.
The bamboo grove is devoid of greenness and there is no melody.
Not seeing any cloud in the sky, the peacock loses its vitality.
Unbloomed buds dry up in the sun.

The green grass is tainted with yellowish colour,
due to hot air blowing over it.
All the burns are being kept suppressed in one's inner core
and warm sand gets mixed into one's eyes.

Into the forest of palms and palmyra trees,
who has come in a new adornment?

Opening the doors of my mind,
I was brought to do Your work.

The earth has been flooded by rain.
Waterpits and hearts have mingled.
My vibrated mind is filled with You,
amidst heavenly fragrance.

The sky and the underworld have merged into one
and with only one rhythm, all dance.
Vibrated with and vanquished by one single significance,
all seek the wee bit of Your grace.

Within limitlessness,
there is limitedness,
both of which You are, beloved Lord.

You surround everything and fill the mind.
Yet You are not touched by the earth.

You keep oscillating the swing of Your divine play.
You bring intuition to understand You.

The flame of fire that fills the mind,
You do not allow to become extinguished.

You are in the air, in fire and in the blue sky.
You remain mixed with the feelings of the smiling stars.
The particle of love that coats the mind with sweetness,
You are its object of meditation, O Lord.

Thinking of You with inmost feelings,
my mind breaks its bondages
and floats unto infinity.

You are the controller of heaven and earth
and the resort of the helpless.
By a wee bit of Your love
hearts are filled with joy.

With incomparable rhythm and charming fragrance,
You infuse vibrations and feelings,
O most beloved.
You are the flower in the garland, the bead in the rosary.
Unattached, You smile with loving beauty.

You are the thirst quenching flow of cool water in the heat of the sun.
You are the polestar peeping through the gaps of rainy clouds.
You are the moonlight in darkness

and the shade of the tree during the hot sun at noontime.
Even though You may seem far away,

You reside in the mind's sweet heaven.

Someone came and entered my core
and told me that a sweet springtime would come.

Pardoning my faults and the anger that had been suppressed in my mind,
He would shower His mercy upon me.

You had shown the path and I had understood the way.
Yet due to lethargy I remained ignorant

and knowingly moved along the wrong path.
Still, I hoped You would laugh and smile.

I know that nothing really belongs to me.
Your articles I mistakenly declared as mine.
Tell me, who will redress
this delusion of infatuation and torture of fatigue?
And when will this be?

Come into this delusive world,
O unknown traveller.
Knowingly do make the mistake and come to my home.

Come into my drowsiness fastened eyes,
piercing the blanket of fog.

Other than You, there is nothing worth desiring.
I do not derive satisfaction from anything else.
Right from sunrise, You adopt hundreds of forms each moment,
thus deluding with Your divine play.

I shall not forget this game of Yours by any means.
My mind wants to establish itself in Your ideation,
and with only one tune, it sings in light and darkness.
Come wholeheartedly, full of dignity and respectableness.

Into the bamboo grove,
with the tinkling of ankle bells,
who has come?
Tell me.

With coloured lips and a dark decoration on His eyes,
He poured down heavenly effulgence.

Playing the flute on a forest path,
He shines with brilliance in the darkness.

From ocean to land,
all are lost in Your melody
and faint amidst to floods of joy.

You can do anything to whom You shower Your mercy upon.
You oscillate on the swing of love,

O embodiment of consciousness.

You are in the realm of effulgence.

Yet You remain with me.

Your affection makes others forget their pain.
You give consolation during sorrow.

When there was nothing,
You were all alone, O Beloved.

Everything had been muted by intense darkness.

You were alone in the darkness.
There was no question of good or bad times.
Neither was there any floral garland,
nor was there anybody to place it around Your neck.

You wanted colourful festivity.
You did not want to stay alone any more.
You wanted to raise and stir the world,
On the shore of the ocean of love
You brought the initial moment of rain.

Who has come, marking a golden line in the mind
and letting multicoloured nectar rain down?

The feelings of everyone merged in You,
from the origin of infinity unto endlessness.
The sorrows of many became bundled and merged into one,
filling all with bliss.

The colours of many became one today.
The inner hunger of all became visible as nectar.
The rhythm of many today is dancing in unison.
All boundary lines of limitation have been removed.

The clouds in your eyes are wiping off the dark decorative mark.
Tell me, what events have occurred to your eyes?

Why is sleep not entered your eyes?
Tell me, what affairs are occupying your mind?

In such a charming and sweet night,
when all sides are illuminated,
and mental fragrance destroys the load of pain,
in whose unrequited longing do you remain awake?
Why can't you recognise Him, forgetting fear and shyness?

The dark clouds of the mind shall not stay for long.
They will gradually decay with concentration and meditation.
Good days will follow bad days.

Knowing this fact, do not worry.

You do not come during happy days.
You come when I am engrossed in You, offering flowers.

You do not sit on a throne,
letting Your red feet be cared for.

Many a divine play do I see,
of hundreds of forms of light and shade.
With the sound of Your flute,
time and again,
You call from within the core of one's heart,
playing in excellent styles.

In this illuminated environment,
under the impulse of consciousness,
my mind is restless to merge in You with acceleration.

You were also present in that stream
but I could not see You.

You were with me day and night, ever awake,
holding the lamp of effulgence in Your hand.
But at that time I could not recognise You.

satiating my eyes with hundreds of forms,
ever dancing amidst vibrations.
But I could not observe it with my own eyes.

Fulfil my sadhana, my spiritual effort.

On the first day of life,
You made nectar flow,
and propelled and stirred by it,
provided inspiration for movement.

In that momentum I came to the path,
but the beacon or goal was not known.
I did not see You.
Even today I cannot forget this reality and repentance arises.

Many eras passed and became events of the past.
Many flowers bloomed in my mind and withered away.

Though You don't come into my courtyard,
do appear in my mental mirror.

I do not want a talk.
Just smile sweetly.

How many ages have passed in penance?
How many long dark nights have gone by?
Today, this morning,
destroy that darkness in the crimson light.

Nothing is wasted in the psychic world.
That is why I long for You with firm conviction.
In the flow of causeless compassion,
wiping off my ego,
please love me.

As a smiling fountain on the desert path,
at the end of a hot and painful day,
You provide coolness on the burns of fire,
mixing into it all Your sweetness.

You are the cessation of all desires.
You are the topmost attainment.
Era after era, I have longed for You.
Today, You came with charming adornment.

I am unable to think of what I am to do.
The bliss within me breaks all barriers.
You were formless and appeared in form,
coming onto this muddy earth.

Your glory is scattered throughout the sky and air.

Wondering and roaming about all over the world,
I am unable to see anyone like You.

From the origin of beginninglessness,
how many days and how many nights,
Have You remained with me?
You are the aggregate of all qualities.

Stories about You never conclude.
What is a small unit mind to say?
Life after life goes by
in the hope of attaining a wee bit of Your grace.

He came without declaring it.

Opening up the bolt of my door,
He slowly took His seat in the depth of my mind.

He secretly came with silent feet
during this rainy season on a rain bathed night.
He smiled with sweet lips
without knocking with His hand or making any other noise.

The unseen Lord came unseen,
and secretly smiled in the deep recess of my mind.
Remembering Him and being sweetly engrossed in Him,
my mind becomes one with Him.

and merge with the sweetness of mind.
Love with floral pollen
from the bottom of the depths of feelings.

How many sleepless nights,

came and went
to awaken my realisation?

You went away, telling You would return.
But why didn't You come back?

The threaded garland of flowers withered away.
You did not put it on.
I unmindfully remained seated in isolation on the balcony.

The sandal breeze whispered into my ears
that You had not kept Your words.
The sun rises and sets, and secretly says:
“I shall appear in the east. Do not weep.”

You came as clusters of dense clouds,
filling the whole world.

You covered the sky
with bunches and bunches of dark and still darker clouds.

You are the earth's heavenly gift.
You pour greenness into the flow of life.
You bestow softness
on injuries caused by hot and cruel meteors.

My mental peacock dances with its tail raised,
along to rhythmic melodies,
and looks at You.
It does not want to get anything.
It only wants to give,
all accumulations,
and remain intoxicated in Your thought.

amidst the upsurge of the shefali fragrance,
where the white cloud float?

On the silvery boat,
at this evening time,
I am filled with dreamy impulse.

Heavenly beauty has come to this earth,
tender and green,
incomparable, illusive beauty.
In the soft breeze,
as fragrant incense,
towards which desideratum does it rush?

All rush unto only One,
dancing and singing amidst the chirping of birds,
filling life with sweet rhythm,
and enchanted by the tinkling of melody.

If You do not come,
it is useless to keep my mind decorated with floral buds.

It is useless to look at the balcony,
with eyes overcast by the sweetness of love and filled with hope.

O decoration of my eyes and destroyer of pains,
joy of my mind,
in Your constant remembrance I remain.

Tell me why You do not come.
Why do You keep avoiding me?
Why do You shine in the distant sky,
with so much of me absorbed in nectar?

O most beloved, my eternal companion,
why do you stay far away?

You are absorbed in the swinging game of palm and tamal trees.
You hide in the darkness of clouds.

I look up above the dense forest.
I stay for You only.
Amidst the dense darkness of my thoughts,
why do You call me?

How many lightnings come and go,
appearing momentarily and disappearing?
The bondage between Your heart and my heart stays forever.

Which unknown traveler came
and made everyone His own?

He did not talk to anyone.
He just smiled silently.

There was a decorative mark of love in His eyes
and His throat was full of enchanting songs.
With lotus palms full of colours,
He poured nectar onto the earth.

The effulgence He scattered throughout this earth,
flows on even today in an infinite stream.
All darkness and illumination,
dark and moonlit nights,
He dissolved into Himself and then went away.

Tell me secretly in which distant place You stay.

The flame tip of my life,
the shining mark of hope,
glitters with Your form.

There shall be no third person to listen to our secret conversation.
You shall speak and I shall sit and listen to You.
I shall thread my heart with Yours like a garland.
I cannot bear any delay even for a moment.

It is difficult for me to love You from a distance.
Both outside and inside Your effulgence shines.

My mental garden longs to attain You and remains restless thinking of You.

You loved me in numerous ways.
But You never told it to me personally.
Even now You do not want to speak to me.

You satiated my hunger.
You poured nectar onto me.
You blessed me with the sweetness of Your affection.

During deep, dark nights,
Your wee bit of love appears unseen.
Amidst illumination, leaving aside fear and shyness,
I see You intoxicating my mind.

Dark clouds covered me several times.
But Your solar rays have removed them.
Beyond darkness, Your light dances.
I shall thus never lose the path.

and light appeared in the eastern sky.

I could see the divine play that You created

My eyes, lowered and covered with shyness,

On earth and heaven,
to Your pleasure,
particles of Your mercy float out and about.

In dark nights as well as during moonlit nights,
through snow and ice,
like a mirage,
they keep floating.

Sometimes in actions and sometimes through gestures,
sometimes in flows of tears and sometimes through smiles,
You made them flow,

intoxicating dance,
stunning the infinite universal ring.

You are illumination in darkness,
the resort of the helpless,
the symbol of love to afflicted lives.
You fill the world with nectar,
bringing sweet memories of joy and obliviousness of pain.

with what purpose did You set the boat of melodies adrift?

It unknowingly floats unto an unknown destination.

My acquaintance with You is not a matter of mere two or four days.
Both of us were present, enveloping the boundary of time.

You have remained the same as in the past, rehearsing ever new melodies.
But You cast me aside, bringing to me a flow of tears.

O Lord, secretly come into my mind.
Nobody shall know, see or hear
Your coming and going.

I have decorated my mental altar after washing it with tears.

I have made it fragrant with the fragrance of sandal.
I have decorated my mental peacock’s tail with various colourful flowers,
after carefully pouring sweetness into it.

I have forgotten the rains
and I have also forgotten the years and time.
I keep thinking about You,
day and night,
morning and evening.
You pull me close to You,
tearing down the entire net of illusion, to purify my mind.

I simply keep threading my garland of songs,
O Lord,
nothing more.

Recounting pains and pleasures satisfies me.

In lifeless pre-creation, You were alert.
Into new creation, You poured out the sweetness of Your mind.
Amidst nothingness, You brought everything.

That is why I sing Your glory.

I move on Your path through rise and fall.
Sometimes I lie down and sometimes I rise and stand.
With Your rhythm and dance, I become intoxicated,

irrespective of all Your non-ideation or ideation.

Stay with me each moment,
O Lord,
stay in my meditation.

When storms blow on this earth,
keep my mind tranquil.

I do not want anything from You.
What is there, for a person to whom You belong,
to ask for anyway?
You are the touchstone that remains with me
and knows my purpose.

Righteously thinking I move on along the path.
There is no opportunity for pause.
I call those who are nearby,
so that they may not go astray due to ego.

If You love me,
why don't You come close to me?

Standing and wearing charming adornments,
why do You smile from a distance only?

Due to hopelessness, my chignon braiding has opened up.
The carefully threaded floral garland to welcome You has dried up.
Due to tears flowing from my eyes, all the black makeup has been washed off.
O beautiful One, why don't You appear to me in the world of forms?

I have heard that You keep everything and everyone in Your mind.
And from within Your mind You bestow the sweetness
inherent in the floral arbour of madhavii flowers.

When there was light, You did not come.
You came instead when there was darkness.

You did not come to wear a garland.
You came instead to wipe tears from my eyes.

You did not come during happy days,
invited by festivity,
when there were mango leaves on the pot and colourful paintings.
You came during a night of sorrows to provide affectionate consolation.

I searched for You in light, avoiding the fog of darkness.
I could not imagine

that even in the seclusion of darkness,
Your effulgence would shine.

This entire universe of Yours keeps performing actions.

All those carrying hope are looking forward
to when light shall be brought into all hearts.
O eternal and pure One,
unaffected by sins,
King of all Kings,
when shall You smile?

In the three worlds You have no comparison.
You are the supreme, benevolent spiritual endeavour.
Hating none, You love all.

Providing consciousness, You destroy shyness.

Who are You
who came to my dark home?

I could not see,
I could not know,
how and when You came.

Without knocking,
extending Your silent feet,
without me being aware of it,
You entered my heart.

By the splendour of Your beauty,
You gave illumination,
showering Your grace upon this non-deserving me.

I became enchanted,
looked at You with astonishment
and floated in the flow of Your divine game.
Is this called mercy?

By what thrill,
unseen by all,
did You remain awake?
O, since which distant past?

There was no date and time,
no limitation of time.
You were asleep beyond time.

That sleep was broken and the colourful world arose.
The mental sun coloured the eastern sky

and the hundred-petalled mental lotus became filled with honey.

Losing its identity in effulgence,
in the full current of thought,
a new realisation was brought about and filled by You.
At the foundation of melodies and tunes, sound arose.

On the boat of the white cloud,
through the sandal breeze,
why do You float away?

The nightingale in the garden sings,
crying out with full-throated.
I wonder, intoxicated by Your thought,
whether You have become restless.

Take me with You.
Do not tread the path on Your own.
I cast my eyes upon the stars and ask myself
why and to whose call You heed.

I am a meagre atom in Your universe.
My mind and body exist due to Your grace.
I move around You,
kindling Your light,
surviving by Your impulse.

With heavenly upsurge,
You keep floating,
pardoning the ego of this meagre atom.
By the stream of Your mercy,
the earth is intoxicated in dance.
With all, You remain individually and collectively associated.

Today innumerable flowers have bloomed,
not in the floral garden but in the mental garden.

There, dewdrops oscillate swinging,
not unmindfully but deliberately.

The one who could never be attained,  now is being sought after.
The songs that could never be sung in life,

now carefully appeared.

That which was hidden amidst the buds
bloomed as beautiful flowers.
Coming secretly and removing shyness,
He poured honey into song after song.

The bee unmindfully came into my garden,
tell me why.

The recess of my mind
secretly became restless with fragrance.

The sky and the netherworld are both known to Him.
Everywhere His movement is apparent.
In the silent night with a viina in hand,
He engrosses by His tinkling.

He was unknown for a very long time,
but He came with the hope of the honey of love.
The mental world,
through rhythm and melody,
enlivened with music and songs.

The spring season came and started oscillating my mind.

Into dry branches,
it poured new beauty
by making bunches of new leaves appear.

The mango branch became full of buds.
The bakul tree became full of floral decoration.
On the shalmalii tree colourful flowers bloomed.
And on the kimshuk tree fiery red flowers emerged.

The outside nature became decorated with new colour.
The wild stag began to dance in the mind.

In this sweet impulse of the sweet season,
He took away all that belonged to me.

Finding You close,
the dance-engrossed earth became self-selecting of the groom.

By Your arrival, flowers bloomed.
All the shyness in the buds was removed,
keeping only honey in their bosom,

By Your arrival, colours smiled
and the frightening dark night disappeared.
The darkness-destroying light brought You close
and I was able to attain You.

The floral garland has dried up.
Its petals have withered away.

No one heard of their history.
Nor was any remedy provided.

These flowers had been carefully lifted.
Their beauty and fragrance had been overwhelming,
containing feelings and sweetness,
But on earth there was no witness to it.

The garland fell down,
unseen by all,
as if praying before all feet.
Listen to my talk and understand my agony.
Do not ignore me.
Do not think that it is too difficult to understand.

and oscillated my mind.

He smiled with sweetness on His lips.
Why, I do not know.

I had been sitting and waiting for Him for ages.
After a long time He fulfilled my desire.
Many moonlit nights passed, crying with heartfelt pain.

The flowers full of sweet fragrance had withered away.
Much has the earth since revolved by the impulse of love.
Today, listening to my song,

where have the stars disappeared to?

My mental peacock keeps flying.

It does not know any obstruction.
It does not heed to any prohibition.
Spreading its wings,
it dances in an unknown sphere.

Crossing streams, mountains and roads,
passing through fields in the wilderness,
shaking the forests of tall grass,
it rushes on.

O beloved,
object of my meditation,
You are the aggregate of all attributes
You are the pupil of everyone’s eyes.
Everyone loves You.

You came during darkness
and filled me with illumination.

All weariness and darkness removed within moments.

The accumulated clouds that had covered my life
floated away by Your sweet impact.
Making me free from burden, You pulled me close.

You remain with me,
O Lord.
I am never alone.
Yet knowing this, I cry,
and that crying for You
made me forget today.

With the lingering trace
of the song that You sang
I float away far.

The flame of the lamp that You kindled,
has been glowing for many an age.

You are the icon of mercy,
O Lord.
Other than You, I have no protector.
Coming and going takes place as per Your wish.
You know it very well.

Since the first sunrise of creation,
You are with all individually and collectively.
I keep floating in Your stream,
so that You may never forget me.

I want You close during this festivity of light.

Rhythms, melodies and tunes play as essence of life.

In the three worlds none possesses attributions like Yours.
You are beyond attributes and attribute-less.

Ideating on You,
I find the totality of all attributes.

Your compassion compares to none.
You constantly play the viina of mercy.
In the firmament of my mind,
with the advent of the charming one,
I find liberation and salvation.

I have remained desirous of You in my own mind.

Not finding a proper place for You in the outside world,
I wish to keep You hidden inside.

If You were to come down to this dusty earth,
how would I be able to tolerate it?
How would my heart allow this earth
to cause pain to Your soft red feet?

The golden throne lies within my mind itself,
decorated for You with gems.
You shall come,
sit there
and satiate my eyes.

I remain seated and awake for You.

I kindle my lamp in the dark depth of my mind.

Several ages have come and gone.
Many lives have concluded.
Yet Your mercy did not materialise.
You did not come to my home.

Many camelii flowers have withered away.
Many shefalii flowers have dried up.
Many moonlit nights of autumn and spring have passed,
while I cried and lamented.

Yesterday,
in the deep night,
with a blue lotus in hand,
in the moonlight bathed garden,
You came.

I was in deep slumber.
In my mental mirror,
I could not see You taking Your seat.

Whatever was understood cannot be explained.
Whatever was heard, cannot be told.
The golden sweetness cannot stay in a cage.
All float away in the waters of memory.

Can’t You understand this agony of mine?
Can’t You listen to my history?
Can’t You recognise Your own particle?
Is this why You simply smile?

You came, letting suppressed sorrows be forgotten.

This earth was slippery with mud.
You brought a golden flood.

Into sweetness, You poured fragrance.
A loving image removed the frightening figure.
In pitch darkness, the sun arose.
The journey of light started.

Life arose in unexpressed entities.
The murmuring in the stream awoke.
The chirping of birds in the woods was heard.
In my mental canopy,
the tinkling of Your viina played the song of Your victory.

By Your love and affectionate colour

You are in the upsurge of emotions.
You dance in the mind

whatever has passed,
whatever shall take place today,
all remains eternally present in Your Cosmic mind,

The melody of Your song came floating into my mind.

My mind became engrossed in it.
Why it did,
I am unable to understand.

My mind had been covered under dust.
It could not fly due to the lack of wings
and was engaged in low thoughts.
Now it started flying into the distant sky.

The mind that was confined to home,
now breaks all bondages and drifts far away.
The bird in the cage now flies off,
dancing with rhythm towards its cherished goal.

The sky sings a song with melody.
In the air, Your glory ever blows.

The collection of flowers is filled with fragrance
and bows down due to the heavy load of honey.

You brought about this immortal environment.
You poured love on the dust of earth.
You provided sweet language to the dumb.

You are the embodiment of beauty,
O Lord.
The gem studded lamp that You kindled,
will never be extinguished.
Yet, an ignorant and simpleton,
I continue crying,
tying my eyes with a cloth,
and locked up inside my room.

You are the fragrance in the pollen of flowers.
You are the smiling moon in the great sky.

For so many ages have I remained desirous of You
that there is no record or history of it.
So many tears have flown for You in vain,
O distant friend.

In the dense forest and in the recess of my mind,
I have been calling You secretly.
Today, full of hope,
I gather the honey of ideation in my mind.

You came to my home with a love filled heart.

You came untimely,
ignoring months, seasons and years.

During spring,
in the mind of the madhavii flowers,
You are the fragrance.
You are the colourful panorama of red fire in the palash forest.
You encompass whatever I know and whatever I do not know.
You are everything

and made it known today.

You are the hot meteorite carrying the sun’s heat.
You are the swan, gliding through the sky like a silvery cloud in autumn.
Covering the earth with the new leaves during spring, You move forward.

Why did You not come within my reach?

You are as clear as the morning sun.

Why do You remain unseen?

By Your mercy only are You to be attained,
O Lord.

Skills, knowledge, intellect or wealth,
nothing can bring You within reach.

Those who have no worldly position,
collection of honour, prestige, name and fame, brilliance,
even they may attain You.

By going on hundreds of pilgrimages
and doing hundreds of charitable works,
it is not possible to remove the mental darkness.
One gets lost in one’s own darkness.

Floating through the fragrance of bela and juhi flowers, You come.

Destroying the inertia affected darkness,
You bestow sweetness to the mind.

At each footstep of life You are present, shining the crystal of life.
You remain ever engrossed in rhythm, song and dance,
making memoirs of You glow vibrantly.

The ocean of love shines overwhelmingly vibrant.
Series of waves make one forget all inertia.
In the lake of beauty, I lose myself.

You remain mingled with each atom and molecule.
You have left no void anywhere.
Hence in Your name,
in sleep or while awake,
I kindle the flame with the wood of dreams.

Yesterday evening in the moonlight,
I saw You for the first time.

By the fulfilment of my desire,
which had been carried over through several lives,
I became intoxicated with bliss.

You simply looked at me,
with sweetness on Your lips.
O soft moon of the moonlit evening,
I attained You close.

You did not say anything,
so as not to cause any rupture.
O King of kings,
within Your own mind,
You made me Your own.

I think of You day and night.
Why do You remain away far?

My hopes and love have been totally neglected by You.

O moon of my dark heart,
sweet madhavii flower of the desert,
You only make me cry.
What have You done to me, playing Your delusive game?

It is difficult to understand You.
Your theatrical play consists of both flowers and thorns.
To this there is no exception.

What sort of creation did You bring about
through the flow of Your divine play?

The path which I am holding on to,
O Lord,
is the path You have made all ascetics move on
and it is the path I am also treading today.

Illuminated by effulgence,
uncovered by truth,
I move on that path,
casting aside shyness.

Though there may be there hundreds of stones,
though there may be there be many a thorn,
I shall ride the rising tide without succumbing to reverse flows.
Let the fall of Your rays into the stream of ideation,
be the adornment that shall keep me floating.

On Your path,
O Lord,
there is no fear.
Grace me with a wee bit of Your mercy.
This is my sole prayer.
All infatuation and doubt shall be torn apart.
With firm footsteps,
I shall do Your work.

On this wintery morning,
amidst dropped shefalii flowers,
my mind sings and wonders,

“Where are You? Where are You?”

The effulgence of the new dawn removes darkness,
and says that You are here.

That which is not observable in the darkness of the night,
is uncovered by the morning light.

You are everywhere,
kindling Your lamp in the core of one’s heart.
Looking at You,
one’s eyes refuse to see anything else.

You were hidden in the deep recess of my mind,
a blanket of inertia preventing me from recognising You.
By Your vibration, inertia vanished

and my mind saw in You a new role model.

On this post winter season,
dew droplets are dropping down.

I do not know what my mind is yearning for.
I do not know why it feels the way it does.

Yellow marigold flowers bloom.
The candramallika flower also blooms with a smile.
A breeze caresses the white kunda flowers.
My mind does not want to stay indoors.

O favorite of my heart,
where art Thou?
I cry in vain for You.
Are You unable to understand my pain?
At the end of this autumnal month,
why don’t You come?

To this sandalwood grove,
who has sent You?

If You wish to remain confined to Yourself,
tell me whom the mind should seek?

Controlled by wild animals
and infested with serpents,
the sandalwood forest used to be full of fearfulness.

By whose magic charm
was fear removed
and loved eagerly sought?

The sandal tree never used to bear any fruit.
Going there with hunger and thirst proved useless.
By Your arrival,
with the dust of Your colourful feet,
it is offering consolation to all.

Filling my mind with melody after melody,

He can do anything.
He creates the universe by the intense revolution of His thoughts.

He makes one cry and smile.
Seeking these, the effulgence came.

Disseminating floral fragrance and a sandal breeze,
You instantly encompassed everyone’s mind and life.

You remain awake from age to age
in everyone’s topmost psychic center,
bestowing affection during pain, pleasure and all other feelings.
You eternally provide ever-new experiences,

vibrating the mind and engrossing it.

Your causeless mercy cannot be forgotten.
You float in the rhythm of life with green and fresh beauty.
You exist, therefore I exist, ever dancing around Your feet.
You constantly pour sweetness on the beautiful peacock tail.

I called You in sunlight and amidst intense darkness.
I called You for so many days and nights!

In the hot sunny noon,
in the wet tinkling of rains,
when the shefalii flowers of autumns were moist with dew,
ideating on You while performing many a task,

I kept calling You.

I called You amidst the frosty prewinter winds.
I called You amidst shivers in the intense and inertial cold of winter.
I called You in spring amidst the beauty of new tender leaves and flowers.
I called You amidst the colourful airs of the heavenly kingdom of angels.

and the stealer of sins at all times.

You reside in all minds,
colouring them with heavenly effulgence.

Your sweetness is beyond imagination.
Your beauty lies spread across the three worlds.
Your swing oscillates all.
You move in the internal mind.

Your powers enchant the mind.
Your glory removes all non benevolence.
Your joy makes all dance with rhythm.
You forever remove afflictions.

The sky keeps calling, from all its corners.

The air percolates honey into the wind each moment.

The beauty that I see in the morning light
is different from that which I see in the evening’s red colour.
Each moment ever new feelings arise in every mind of this world.

Under the dry and hot sun, what I see in nature,
does not look the same under the white clouds of autumn.
The tree that loses its beauty during the inertia of winter
reattains it with the arrival of spring.

sometimes the feeling arouses in my mind

You sing songs during the festivity of light,
and pour out the entire nectar of Your heart onto my afflicted self.
In the entire world there is no one as generous as You are.

You do not heed to any obstacle

Moving on the path,
You ideate on the eternal truth.

Clouds after clouds accumulate in the rainy season’s sky.

There are storms, heavy downpours of water and gale force winds.

The nests of birds are blown off
and the wet traveler seeks shelter.
Paddy fields and water streams appear ocean like.

The boatman sails his boat, oblivious of shores and banks.
He is unable to estimate the depth of this deep water.
For him the rain means sorrow.

I have been ideating on You

You are the lighting stick, the fuelling ghee and the wick,

The sun rises in the eastern sky.
It emerges close beside Your mind
for You to play with light.

The sun sets in the evening with red colours.
Your love makes the fragrance of flower buds drift far off,

Swinging the minds in the universe,
You have spread Yourself.

Nobody is distant for You.
All are Your own.
You pull everyone close to You.

In the madhavii flower, You are the resonating honeybee.
You ever call near You the mental peacock.

You gently place the sweetness of affection in the mind.
You fill everyone with light.

Though alone, You stay in all minds,
at all places, at all times and moments.
As aggregate of all,
You alone are the unified entity.
Giving love to all, You obtain love.

The great sky was calm,
when You came with song after song.

The air was vibrant with life on the auspicious arrival of consciousness.

The sleep of a very long duration broke,
and the earth became noisy by the chirping of birds.
As light began to shine, liberation started

and life was filled with cosmic vitality.

Many flowers bloomed in many a colour.
The bosom of the earth became filled with honey.
At the call of the great,
all realised each other’s pains and pleasures.

Amidst darkness, light arose,
and the first morning appeared.

From the bottom of nothingness, everything emerged
as the earth became filled with vital energy.

The universe that was lying in voidness,
started moving fast on becoming complete.
Into unit minds, the intoxicant of aspiration arose
as the world awakened.

It was a festival of lights with innumerable forms and colours
that started glowing in the open eyed cosmos.

Amidst the vibration of life, noise arose
as lyres started tinkling.

On this dawn,
in the hope filled light,
amidst the morning breeze,
my mind wants You.

From far and near,
with a multitude of melodies,
my mind wholeheartedly sings Your song.

The speed of this brilliance cannot ever be measured.
The speed of this song will not heed to any hindrance.
This light and this song emerge from the root of the universe,
taking with them all whom they find on their way.

This song oscillates the world.
This song makes one oblivious of one’s own existence.
The new moves forward leaving the old behind.

It rushes forward with hundreds of feelings and flows.

Enchanting this restless wind,
who are You who came?

You removed the inertia of my mind
and made it shine by the flow of effulgence.

I am unable to recognise You.
Though I have heard that You are the controlling Lord of all,
my surrender has never taken place.

Today, You made it possible.

You are the beloved of all.
You are the pupil of everyone’s eyes.
With You the earth has fallen in love.
All the nectar of the universe rests in You.
It touched the bank of the stream of life.

The Gopal of my mind remains inside my mind
and keeps performing His illusive game within my mind.

In the depth of my mind,
isolated from the world,
the sound of Your flute arises.

I am unable to see that charming flute,
but I become restless by its resonance.
Enchanting me with Your colour, You win over my world.

There is no end to Your illusive game.
I do not find any loop hole in the Vrajabhumi of my heart.
That I may attain the dynasty and shyness of the Gokul of my heart,
You pull me close to You.

innumerable ages have passed.

Many sleepless nights have gone by,
with tears flowing profusely.

Like flows of rains, my tears have flowed.
Like the fragrance of the ketakii flower,
they float far away in the rain.

Yet You never come into the core of my mind.
The strings of my viina are tinkling
and have made my song float away.

The flute started playing by the Yamuna river.

It plays continuously,
without caring for whatsoever household work.

My mind rushes to the shore of the river.
The peacock spread its wings.
The wild deer cry out.
The honeybee hums.
Why does the papiya bird keep chirping?

What for do so many flowers bloom,
with mental fragrance swinging to and fro?
The Gokul of feelings is restless with rhythm,
for whom does it go on dancing?

Why do You call me this way?

Giving well water by pouring out waves,
You turn me restless with the impulse of ideation.

I was alone at the shore of the ocean,
passing time picking up shells.
I continued to play with shore sands,
and did not notice the restless ocean.

With a loud roar, the ocean resounded.
In it, all sounds merged.
My meagre heart,
with the nectar of one-pointedness,
became restless by that great roar.

My Kanu (young Krsna) is going away.

In the forests of Vrindavan,
watery eyes are shedding tears.

Though being the King of Shurasen,
He is heading towards Mathura.

I shall never forget You,
O Kanu,
however far You may be.
From my mental altar,
who can remove You?

Come this time to the land of Vraja,
playing melodies on the flute and smiling sweetly.
The wild deer and the mental peacock long for Your holy feet.

You turned hard dry dung into softness.

Your world-enchanting smile
and the charming flute on Your lips,
expresses love to all.
But why have You kept me away from You?

Irrespective of whether You like me or not,
do not forget me.
Simply tell me this
as You mentally keep performing Your divine play.

My sweet spring season is coming to an end.

Tender leaves matured.
Green leaves became yellow.
They eventually withered away,
completely merging with the dust.

The cuckoo used to call amidst a flood of songs.
With the arrival of the summer sun
where did that flow vanish?

There used to be sweetness in the air,
and a moon in the sky,
but the dense, rain bearing clouds now cover all.

You are the polestar in the distant blue sky
and I am a monochord on this dusty earth.

You call me through the great cosmic sound “OM”,
and in the impulse of ideation I lose myself.

There cannot be any comparison between You and me.
You are my sadhana,
the ultimate endeavour of my life.
There is only one thing worth achieving,
and that is to fill the mind with Your effulgence.

I do not know anything other than You,
neither do I want to accept anything else.
I don’t get dispirited by blows,
because only You are my beloved, the overflowing nectar of my life.

You smile in light and darkness.
You love the microcosm intensely.
You float as colour in the great space.
You manifest in diverse forms each moment.

You are present in fire and air.
You dance in the grass and in buds.
You stay in the firmament of the mind.
You are the ideational flow in meditation.

but You never listened to me.

You remained distant and did not understand my restlessness.

Shouting with dismay,
I kept moving with the sandal breeze.
Roaring like an ocean with my heart and soul,
I invoked You in vain.

I tried to express to You my pain like volcanic eruptions,
in the sweet humming of the bees,

and in the intense noise of storms.

Looking towards the firmament of my mind with a garland of malati flowers,
suppressing my feelings,

I called You, breaking the silence.

Bunches of new leaves and buds appear in spring
as shy harbingers of the new.

Song after song
the play of hide and seek of the ever new is praised.

The flowers in the garden want to smile
and fragrance floats in the air.
In the sky the nightingale sings
to the vibration of the new.

Fresh nectar flows on the body of the earth
whose eyes are filled with a new shine.
On the innermost core of my heart
the attractive pull of the Great reflects itself.

It is impossible to understand
where has it come from or where it is going.

Who is calling with vibrant fragrance?
Who is singing songs with pleasing sweetness?
The dewdrops in light have become frenzied with rhythm and song,
and burst with life.

O unknown traveler,
be my guest today,
come into the core of mind with charming adornment.
At Your feet this much mercy I seek.

Secludedly remain within me.

You subdued all my feelings and sentiments
and did not empower me to say anything.

I am unable to know Your activities.
Yet nothing of me is unknown to You.
Each moment through each form,
I see that no bondage can bind You.

Attempting to know You,
results in me simply returning crying.
Trying to search You,
I drift onto the infinite.
Even loving You, You are not attained.
Therefore You do not see me.

With the tune of the song,
far away,
I floated all by myself.

I do not remember the day or date.
Tell me,
O eternal companion.

The stars say that You are going to an unknown world.
Into that unknown sphere

the swan of the mind loses itself with smiling wings.

The smile that was scattered from the flower
spoke sweetness-smeared:
That stealer of the heart wanted you.
That is why you obtained the flame of His lamp.

I call You day and night.
Are You not able to listen to me?

I call You in light and darkness,
in sleep, while awake and while dreaming.

The day comes and goes.
Many long nights have faded away.
In the illusive mirage of hope
I sit, looking at the path.

In summer, during the rainy season, in autumn,
during the prewinter and winter seasons,
I have remained engrossed in the thought
that the spring would eventually come.

I keep calling.

I announce to all
that in the three worlds nobody is distant to me.

In the sky and in the air,
smiles arise and pop up.
In the outcry of weeping,
in the burning fire,
I look at all with the same compassionate feeling.

Let all move together,
with love only,
forgetting hatred and fear.
Touching all, pleasing all,
I wish to create a better society.

Pouring sweetness into the sky and air,
He came.

Bestowing love to series of stars and nebulae,
He smiled.

Filling fragrance into the mango grove,
covering the trees and creepers with new leaves,
intoxicating the ashok and palash trees with colours,
He created an immortal creation.

The clouds sing that He shall come again,
pour green beauty on the earth
and fulfil everyone’s hopes.
How He has learnt this magic?

In the blue sky,
through the sandal breeze,
what music comes floating?

It rushes constantly and never terminates.
It brings floods to places after places.

It gives swing to the unit mind,
and provides a jerk to the cosmic oscillation of the Great.
By its joyful arrival the meagre unit mind loses all limitations.

The shy buds look up with impulse,
and removing their veils,
pour out honey.
For a long time they have been eager to merge
with that stealer of mind.

When You first came,
the moon was in the sky.

The earth was shining with moonlight.
You opened the doors of my mind for the breeze to enter without hesitation.

He pulled from my mind.
all accumulated agonies.
The mind stuff,
in overexcitement,
lost its entire existence.

You entered my mind,
and oscillated feelings.
O Guest,
You filled me with the effulgence of gems and fragrances.

The three-layered world had been silent
when You came with song after song.

You removed the cover of fog
and filled the world with light.

When the first dawn arose
the eastern sky became coloured.
Green trees and creepers appeared
and everything became colourfully decorated.

In which past was creation made?
The new earth found a new vision of Yours.
With love, You rained grace and stirred affection.

Who sings song for me?
What is Your identity?

Your charming flute and sweet smile
bring floods to my mental Yamuna river.

Your flute plays with impulse,
age after age,
in the eternal world of Vraja.
This spring season it intoxicates the mind with a play of colours
and makes the buds of love speak out.

You are the ever new feelings of eternal ideation,
floating in the endless flow of the divine play.
You momentarily start dancing, vibrant with joy.
It is not easy to understand You.

You are felicitated in all minds and lives,
O Lord,
and revered in the whole world.

You remain established in the golden recess of the mind.
You are in shrubs of milk-hedge plants,

in series of mountains
and in the murmurs of trees.

You can do whatever You wish to do.
Your desire is under Your control.
With a smile, You materialise Your will within moments.
You do so by the new assemblage of thought waves,

and an ecstatic mind.

You can be attained only with love.
Those who want to publicly show off, return hiding.
You dwell in the depth of minds individually and collectively
full of sweetness,

in everyone’s memories during pain and pleasure.

You came into my life.

You charmed me and pulled me unto You.

I do not want any heavenly pleasure.
The achievements of heaven,
I consider as a burden.
The blanket of dust is on this earth.
It is due to it that You brought me here.

I have no accumulation of virtues.
Do not provide me therefore,
O Lord,
with the pleasures of heaven,
not even with a mere indication of it.
Your wish is to serve all.
With this in mind I shall keep doing Your work.

I keep moving, thinking of You only.

I searched You in all the corners along the path.
I went looking for You in distant forests.
But I did not look for You in my own mind
as I had ignored my mind.

Suddenly I heard Your resonating voice.
You are the touchstone of my mind.
You are the quarry of gems in the dark depth.
But due to my ego I could not see this.

O King of Songs,
You came into my heart
and raised You voice in my inner core.

Filling the world with rhythm and melody,
with what tinkling did You intoxicate my mind?

You have been singing Your song from time immemorial,
pausing not under any circumstance.

Towards endless infinity You keep floating.
Tell me what You could be given that would satisfy You?

You arose sound in the core of my heart.
Hearing Your song, I came within Your reach.
You made this swinging mind of mine oscillate.
Attaining You, You made me forget my everything.
Let it thus stay, day and night, at all times.

Drowsiness had entered my eyes,
yet my mind was full of sincere will.

There was no second entity by my side
to understand this fact.

You alone know the state of my mind.
Why then do You pretend to be ignorant?
Why do You uselessly dwell in my inside and outside,
there being no affection?

You are the polestar in my listening, feeling and thinking,
in concentration and meditation,

in sleep, dream and in my awakened state.
How can You ever be forgotten?

I threaded a garland,
decorated the altar
and rehearsed songs for You.
Please do not forget that.

Searching You, I wandered about here and there.
I searched in mountains, oceans and forests.
I searched in all small and big actions.
I did not sleep due to fatigue.

Many people said many a thing ridiculing me.
I kept tolerating them with the irony of a smile,
by Your strength and taking Your name.

has no comparison.

If at any time I forget You,
O Lord,
unmindfully, while moving about,
then this lamp of Yours,
that spark of love,
shall tell me not forget that which I long for most.

If I forget my inner life,
then by Your unsought spark of love,
loudly remind me not to deceive myself.

In this world You have no comparison.
I am unable to search You in my mind,

coming into memories with a smile.

most cherished of my mind,
You filled me with the impulse of Your momentum.
O Lord,
in front of You no other benevolence compares.

I keep think of that
which my mind is unable to think of.

I wanted to find a moon in the dark cave
and a water fountain in the desert.

I got more than whatever I could imagine.
In the darkness,
I could see a collection of hundreds of moons.
In the volcano,
I saw a fountain of sweet water.
All this is nothing but Your causeless mercy.

I lost the pleasure of achievement
and became entranced by the flow of feelings.
During meditation,
within my mind,
I could know Him
who cannot be known through scriptures.

You are the pole star of the dark night
that prevents one from losing one’s way.

Devoid of proper direction
I became trapped in the bamboo forest.
You are the pupil of the eyes of the wild deer.

She is always afraid and surprised,
scared and engrossed in doubtful thoughts.
Still, You look at me and offer mental affection.
You provide direction for movement.

Rushing about like the musk deer,
raising fear in own darkness,
I did not see that the ray of light had arisen
and shines in the depth of my mind in hundreds of flows.

Within songs, I found You.
You oscillate on the swing of melody.

You are the aggregate of all consciousness.
You dance in innumerable flows.

Your eyes are intensely alert as though it were constantly daytime.
You have scattered Yourself as sweet affection.

With rhythmic melody, beauty, and the impulse of existence,
You remain restless within and beyond feelings.

There is nothing outside You.
The whole world dances within Your mind.
Everything revolves around Your feet.
Though apparently harsh,
Your sounds are soft and sweet.

My “I” feeling floats away like a flower in a stream of water.

It is impossible to continuously keep it tied
to the bondage of inert substances.

Day and night, amidst various thoughts,
I have thus felt.
In the empty stream of my thoughts,
hundreds and hundreds of colours had arisen.

I had been placed in a golden cage,
when You called and took me to the top,
telling me that I should not become lost in these colours.

Although I forget You, You do not forget me.

Although remaining under Your shelter,
I had not looked at You.

In the dense forest of my mind,
I went in search of sweetness.
Injured by stones,
getting hurt,
I cry and call You.

When intense heat blows at my inner core,  with an afflicted and humiliated heart,
when sorrows become almost intolerable,

I find You close.

O deer-eyed (lady),
tell me,
for whom you cry so much day and night?

Who is that affectionless one
that went away,
announcing He would return
and then forgot all about it?

Your tuft of hair blows into the sky,
and in the northeastern corner of your mind,
clouds produce rain.

Yet He did not see and understand your pain.
How harsh is His remaining away!

Unmindfully, you look at the distant sky,
and your mind floats away along a long breath.
Will He not come?
Who is that ever unknown one?

When nobody wanted me,
You looked at me.

When none came close,
You loved me.

In the pupil of Your eyes,
the world’s nectar flows.
You pour on the afflicted
heavenly and immortal effulgence.

You smile during light
and shine in the darkness.
And beyond light and darkness,
You fill life with melodies and tunes.

Hoping for Your arrival,
so many sleepless nights have passed!

So many days have drifted away,
counting each moment amidst floral fragrance!

You are the base of all attributes.
You are without beginning.
You are endless and unlimited.
I have a beginning and an end,
both filled with attachments and love.

In new forms,
with new light,
You keep rising each moment.
In Your flow,
by Your maya, Your illusive play,
I dance with tune and melody.

The current of the stream keeps flowing.
Where to?

Raising the murmur of series of waves,
into which ocean does it get lost?

From which glacier did it come down?
Through which body of hills did it emanate?
How many sub currents merged in it?
It all remains unknown.

Through how many towns did it make its way?
What blissful and what troublesome events took place?
How many cremation grounds did it pass,

witnessing burning funeral pyres, pouring ashes on this earth?

I have loved without knowing it.
Even had I looked closely, I wouldn’t have known.

That Shyam Ray remains hidden
with a sweet smile and a charming flute.

The Yamuna river overflows with impulse,
forgetting that Shyam is going to Dvaraka.
Nanda and Yashoda had been given the nectar of affection.
Not even at them is He looking.

The cow maids who had offered the sweetness of their lives to Him,
He left them too, being their illuminating moon.

As if only the astonished and frightened deer were to be observed,
time passes crying.

If You had no intention of coming,
then why did You love?

If You do not smile while coming close,
then why did You look at me?

Why does Your flute call me from time to time?
It charms me as though it were a mantra.
Through the gaps of clouds, I see the light of joy.
Where did You learn to play this illusive game?

My mind does not stay at home and rushes out.
Outside, the inner core of my mind blooms.
I become inundated with honey from the pollen,
and all wants vanish.
Tell me what it is You want?

My loose chignon blows in the wind,
I do not see who is coming near.
I am not aware of who is telling what and who is crying.
I have forgotten everything.

With bodiless hue and love,
and floral fragrance,
who came floating?

He does not speak but only observes.
He came into the innermost being of the floral garden.

Today my mind is full of impulse
and the stream of feelings overflows.
Under what pull it all happens, only He knows.
In this environment He came joyfully.

Today I am unable to understand Him.
Amidst hundreds of forms, why should I search One?
The affairs of One came flowing in hundreds of ways.
In hundreds of ways, why does He smile in the sky?

my garland of songs.

O ever new life of mine,
stay close to me with fragrance.

In my garden, flowers are present,
with incomparable colour and sweet fragrance,
all are eager to attain You,
O matchless one.

All come in the flow of Your divine game.
And after having come,
they float far away.
With rhythmic movement,
they cry and smile, rainbow like.
You are beyond the time factor.
I thus salute You.

I asked You,

“The path that You have shown,
tell me, where is its end?

The path is a path of moving ahead,
leaving behind darkness.

It is coated with the rising sun’s rays,
filling life with nectar.”

You told me,

“Forget the details of beginning and end.
Hold Him in your thought who ever vibrates in the eternal realm.”

My eyes were full of tears
and had diluted the decorative mark.
Why, I am unable to understand and say.

Bringing clouds and making me restless,
He went away.
Where, I do not know.

I thought that I shall not weep and shed tears,
for, how can He be my own if He goes away?

In the seclusion of my mind,
with a song of ideation,
I saw that He had remained and arisen.

There is no use of ego or obtrusion.
I ever revolved around Him each moment with bright joy.
He smiles in my mind and this cannot be forgotten.

You are never lost,
O Lord,
it is due to my own fault that I do not see You.

Covering my eyes with a black cloth,
I invoke the darkness of inertia.

You kindle light and I cover it with clouds.
Still, through the gaps of those clouds, You keep calling.
And in that shine, I put charcoal.

That same charcoal, unseen, You return to me.

You decorate flowers and I, as a worm, bite them.
You are the golden ray of light and I am firewood for the funeral pyre.
You are the golden beach and I am muddy sand.

But even with that mud, You create a green earth.

The boat of songs sails on and on and on.

From the bank of which stream has it come?
And towards which ocean does it rush?

To the mortal realm, nectar is brought.
And a heavenly sweet flow is poured on this earth.
By an unknown gesture, the world is filled with rhythm and beats.

It narrates stories of the past,
and intoxicates with the upsurge of melodies.
The injury afflicted and stone stricken mind
becomes engrossed in the sound of a tinkling vina.

The sparks of fire that You scattered around the earth keep spreading.

The flame of fire that You kindled in the darkness,
constantly glows and fills the whole world.

No one is capable of extinguishing that vital energy.
No one can understand the way it acts.

Within that orderly situation lies Your mercy,
from any point of view and at all times.

You keep performing so many divine activities in so many ways,
without pausing due to obstruction or affliction.

You accept poison for Yourself and distribute nectar.
That is why at Your name the whole world bows.

The lotus beautifully bloomed in the lake.
In the morning breeze, its fragrance comes floating.

It is not possible to see it in the outside world.
It can be estimated only within the mind.
That lotus,
rare in the three worlds,
bloomed in my mind.

Its eyes are constantly open and directed towards the sun.
It ever remains awake inundated by solar rays.

Even though attached to its stem, it does not touch the mud.
It smiles with joy in the restless flow of Your divine play.

May this mental lotus lake of mine never dry up.
May it flourish even in snow and exist in the hot sun.
Vibrant with waves that have been brightened by love,
may its beauty last from age to age.

You exist as sound, touch, form and flow
(the fundamental factors or inferences)
as sweetness in the flower buds of my mind.

Whatever known or unknown I acquaint,
You are the aggregate of all wealth.

During unbearable and intense hot winds,
You are with me like a soft, cool fountain.
On the turbid path of rotten rainwater,
You guide me towards my goal as the angel Sasti.

Knowing or not knowing You depends upon Your sweet will.
If You so wish, we shall know You.

Otherwise, we remain ignorant.
The essence of my spiritual endeavour is to satisfy You.
With that vow, I pray You for Your mercy.

In the void of the sky, angels are soaring.
Which place are they flying to?

A fountain of melodies flows in my mental casket.
Why do these oscillations arise?

Who knows with what expectation they float?
By whose inspiration and guide?
Which brilliance are they moving towards,
seducing them so overwhelmingly?

Who is their Beloved at a distance,
attracting them from afar?
Entranced, they have fetched nectar from the earth.

Why does He not call me close to Him?
Why does He stay far away?
That distant Beloved has captured my heart.

You are the beloved of all living and nonliving entities in the world.

You are in the air and fire and engulf everything.
You are the base of all.

As a singular entity with intricate idea You pervade all.
In the sky and in the underworld,

You exist and fill all with attributes.
You are the inner soul of all souls.

O stealer of sins, Hari,
I live in the world acting and making my own world.
Yet, I am the dust of Your feet.

I am but a bubble of Your mercy.

Dry leaves fall from the trees
and new and tender leaves smile.

Without being called, new ones come and stand,
while old ones wither away.

New red and tender leaves become green.
Green young grass turns yellow.
The play of colours goes on in the world,
arriving with cries and smiling moments later.
Where do they drift away?

No colourful object can be held forever.
The crimson hue of dawn also moves away.
Only You existed,
only You are present,
and only You will stay.
Hence I take shelter at Your feet.

Who am “I”?

From an unknown sphere,
floating through feelings,
the fairy joyfully entered the firmament of my mind
and smiled with sweet charm.

All darkness vanished.
Waves of light flowed.
The torch was held up in the gentle breeze
and the path was shown.

The fairy told:
“I am for all.
Nobody ought to remain in darkness.
The light that I have kindled today
shall with you remain.”

Taking along my mind,
what a divine play,
You perform each moment!

Alas, my mind remains ever engrossed,
day and night,
in the thought of worldly pains and pleasures.

This mind of mine has been given by You.
Your characteristics are its base.
Forgetting You,
my life becomes inert and mingled up with the inanimate.

By Your thought, I think.
My language likewise comes from You.
My crying and smiling is for You.
Your song is immortal,
secretly ever emanating sweetness.

but rather I went on aggrandising myself.

My life is bounded by limitations.
It is filled with distinctions between myself and others.

In my heart, with charming adornment,

You dance and sing, fulfilling me.

There is no coming and going for You.
Even the periphery of time accepts defeat before You.
With melody after melody played on Your flute,

You sail the boat beyond time.

who is He who smilingly entered my inner core?

The art of Your divine play is unlimited.
It is surrounded by dream and mingles with the illusory world.

You are my beginning and end, the quintessence of all lives.
All the loads of reactive momenta, samskaras, carried over life after life,
You take with You, floating into infinity.

You have no wants.
You remain above all desires and achievements.
You cast mental honey onto my heart
by smiling into the moonlight.

Dark clouds float in the sky.

Sitting on the branch of the niipa tree,
whom does the peacock seek?

The moistened land lovingly emanates fragrance,
Amidst the thunder of clouds and the howling wind the trees shake.
What a divine play is the unknown traveler performing!
He comes near, then disappears.

Today, every house is locked with bolts.
And clouds have accumulated in the northeastern corner of my mind.
Do come and unlock those bolts!

I long to merge with You,
that illumination may rain in darkness.

You are the honey hidden within buds.
You are the flow of nectar on this earth.

You are the perfect and profound knowledge within the mind.
You are filled with the memories of lost hearts.

You are the wealth of the rising sun
and the development of feelings in tunes, melodies and rhythm.
In Your coming near, in Your going away,

in losing and reattaining You,
in this blissful play,
Your love emanates.

The seashore longs for You,
along series of waves on the golden beach.
That nobody may stay behind,
You call all ceaselessly.
That call is never lost in time.

By making flowers bloom and scattering light,
why did He intoxicate my mind?

So many “whys” come and go in my mind!
No shore of it is found by any means.
Constantly thinking thus, my mind gets lost.
What flow of divine game,
has He floated me into?

Thinking of Him, I obtain bliss,
and forget all pains and agonies.
Other than Him I do not want anything.
Oh with what sort of love has He coloured me!

O Lord,
this tiny little entity of Yours.

I have come from You
and remain within You.
Please do not expel me.

Since the beginning of creation
You have been with me,
in the stream of thought waves.
Our lives remain interwoven just as the sandal breeze flows through the illusory sky.
Therefore, do not move me away from You.

Everybody has good and bad qualities
but my bad qualities far outshine my good ones.
So, caught in the sorrow of a dark night,
please do not be unkind to me.

For what reason did You step forth?

Outside, there is a downpour of water.
My eyes are likewise submerged in tears.
Outside, clouds have accumulated.
Inside, lightning strikes.  No barrier can halt it.

The water in my mental Yamuna river
overflows from both banks.
It is restlessly entranced and impatient with bliss,
each moment looking for the flower of Gokul.

Who can understand the mystery behind all these?
You dance in the flow of Your liila.
And that same flow makes everyone else dance too.

Right from the beginingless past,
You self emanate Yourself in the stream of ideation.
With quiver, individually and collectively,

You are the effulgent and figurative expression.

The whole world revolves around You.
In this world You have no comparison.

In all minds there is only one scene.
You are my heartfelt contentment.

Only with constant ideation,
You come into fold in meditation.
You are the periphery of the cycle of creation.
You are also the nucleus and the axis,
the Purusottama of cosmic ideation.

In sleep, dream or in an awakened state,
You are closely present individually and collectively.
You are the hope of my destitute mind.

You did not come in silence.
You came though song after song.

Beyond deceit and cunningness,
You came into fold by love.

O my Dearest,
You are the smiling fragrance from pollen,
bright in memory and unique in the world.
You fulfill hopes at the end of the night.

Surrounding all with the web of illusion,
You move the close ones far.
To those who are full of impurities and lost in dirt,
You bestow mental sweetness.

By the effulgence that You emanated,
the horizon dramatically dances.

Pouring fragrance into the periphery of limitations,
You write the song of infinity.

The activity of movement consists of coming and going.
Within it lies located the event of Your love.

Filling microcosms with rhythm, melody and experiences of feelings,
its glimpses reflect in unit minds.

Although it cannot be said that I cannot attain You,
as You Yourself arrive and come into my fold,

I do not see the fog of inertia.
You keep smiling in the heaven of my heart.

In the hundredpetal lotus of my heart,
Your fragrance vibrates.

When drowsiness descended upon my eyes,
my mind was in darkness.

Ensnared by hundreds of currents,
I could not understand where the stream of life was flowing to.

The water during the tide was overflowing with emotions.
I was restlessly attracted towards material objects.
I did not seek the sweetness of the moonlight in the sky.
I did not seek the moon that intoxicates the world.

Then the flow of a low tide came into my life.
The water that had been overflowing receeded far back.
I had no capacity to look away,

for it was the moon that attracted me close.

My home is lost in the deep recess of my dark mind.
Lamenting, I secretly searched for it in everyone else’s mind.

I shall cry no more.
My garland of shefali flowers,
moist with dewdrops,
remains isolated in my utterly empty house of feelings.

My world is my own creation,
making me restless in sorrowful days.
It overflows with emotions,
in series of waves during moments of pleasure.

O beloved,
come into my home and into my life
and scattering the sweetness of Your smile,
sit close.
Your love floats in the sky and air,

The flow of Yamuna river of my life has turned upwards.

In my world, there exists none other than You.

All distinction between myself and others is lost.
You pulled the distant ones near.
The closed doorbolts were opened.
I cannot find any limit to Your love.

In spring, You create a fire of red flowers.
My leaves being torn, what deserving quality did You see in me?
Now that I have attained You close,

I keep wondering where You had been hidden.

Many days come and go.
Many nights passed with tears flowing from my eyes.
Many ages, buried in darkness,

had snatched away the sweetness of feelings.

amidst a desert of disappointments,
and in the enchanting sweetness of my mind,
losing itself beyond the arena of desires.

Who is He, inebriating me
and moving about in the forest
with sweet and charming adornment,
merging forms with the formless?

Though I roam within and externally,
I am unable to recognise Him.
Unseen by mind stuff,
why does He come into my mind?
He shines in my heart with unseen brilliance
and provides limitless love to my mind.
It is difficult to forget Him.

Whenever I am determined no longer to think of Him,
no longer to look at Him,

and, even after Him coming near me,
not say even a word to Him,
I am then unable to restrain myself,
and, engrossed in His thought, my resolution breaks apart.
Who can explain this state of affairs to anyone?

and sometimes You smile from a distance only.

With the melody and rhythm of dance,
You float like a tidal wave in an ocean’s water.
In all the ups and downs of Your vibrations
I feel the narration of Your sweetness.

You are present in all ages, at all times.
You are also present in those memories
which have untimely already faded away.
You are everpresent at the root of everything,

submerging all in the flow of love.

With each rhythm of dance,
who are You who came, overflowing my heart?

In the depth of feelings,
through each layer of thought,
You flooded my mind and made it restless.

It is not possible to know and understand You,
for there is no limit of expressions.
Sitting inside my heart, You have swung it.
I have forgotten my own “I” feeling
and burnt the wood of desires.
I have poured oblation of the objecivated mind stuff,
offering it to the one beyond thought.

Language cannot find a place in the depths of feelings.
You are expressed as well as unexpressed,

touching all the seven layers of existence.
Come, bringing consciousness.
Only this much can be told.

O Lord of the pilgrim place,
You are filled throughout my mental arena.

It is impossible to think of any greater possessor of attributes.

O controller of the seven strata of the world,
You remain, touching consciousness.
None possesses wisdom as You do.

In the world beyond language,
in the smiling light of thoughts,
You see everything,
bestowing the ointment of love on all eyes.
You compare to none, for all want You.

The restless mind does not heed to any bidding.
In its depth,
in the sweet dwellings of thought,
You entrance as consciousness and base of mind.
Unseen, You smile with joy,
and make all float in love.
In whole of the world,
You compare to none.

O Beloved,
which land are You floating to,
leaving behind floral gardens,
minds after minds,
the icy peaks of skykissing mountains,
forms after forms,
moments after moments?

Thinking of You, I lose myself.
By Your flame, the lamp of my own heart is kindled.
With the memory of Your love, I sing songs.

By pulling my heart unto You, I forget all ego.

You are the moon in my mental sky.
Your moonlight exudes honey.
You are the perfect and profound knowledge in everyone’s meditation.

The song that was sung in my mind,
I did not sing during the public gathering.

The hopes and desires that I had kept suppressed in my mind,
I did not express due to shyness.

You know the events of my mind.
You listen attentively to the voice of my core.
O King of my mind,
I have no dilemma in front of You.

After coming out from the gathering,
after even a trace of any song had ceased,
that unsung song enters my ears,
floating and adorned with glittering gems.
Ignoring shyness,
swinging with hope,
I seek Your grace.

Absorbed in sweetness,

why are you silent?
Tell me about your inner distress.

At your petals, why have tears dropped?
Who has inflicted injury to the core of your heart?

How many storms came?
How many waves fell upon your soft heart?
And what for?
Tell me all about it.

The morning sun disseminates light.
The moon shines on the earth.
The honeybee approaches,
enquiring with sweetness and love.

O Lord,
for You I sing this song.

I have nothing to call my own.
All is but Your energy and gift.

I had been totally lost in delusion,
blindly attached to intense ego.
At that time You made me understand
that I have in reality nothing to offer You.

You gave me floral garlands of love
and the methodology of worship.
You gave me the tinkling of Your lyre.
You told me to continue performing my introspective practice,
whether I would relish it or not.

These are the graceful gifts of Your compassion.

I have no doubt about it, no dilemma whatsoever.

In the air and in fire,
You glory is present.
In the sky and in the netherworld,
Your graceful subtlety is present.
There is no place that You are limited to.
You are found everywhere.

I am meagre.
You are greatly vast.
Within formlessness,
You keep sketching,
without break or pause,
a beautiful multi-itemed place.

This non-flickering flame
suppresses all threats and obstructions.

The whole world is restlessly moving.
Only You are permanently sweetness-filled.
All microcosms come and go within Your stream.
You remain victorious over the time factor.
You were in the past,
You are present now,
and You will forever stay,
vibrant within and beyond time.

You are the congregate of the fundamental factors,
comprising of the ethereal, the aerial, the luminous, the liquid and the solid factor.
You are also their creator.

These five factors engross a person in the divine game,
making people forget the creator, the Gopal, the nucleus.

You are sought after by my mental honeybee
who seeks Your sweet touch and sweet joy.

At Your feet are seven expressions.
In Your mind there is the frenzied prakrti, the omni-active entity.
In Your eyes there is causeless love,

pervading all, pervading the sky and the netherworld.

I do not find a place where You are not present.
You are beyond time.
Within You, there is no death.
All restlessly dance to Your rhythm,
which is the base of all thoughts.

I have lost the Gopal of the world of Vraja.
I search Him in my mental sphere.

The vibrancy of His light has been extinguished.
I search Him in the lamp of feelings.

The days come and go without a care for me.
They see everything without bothering for me.
With the date halted,
as a free guest,
I seek Him for liberation.

The unknown traveler remains unknown.
Even after coming close
it is difficult to recognise Him.
Within my existence,
He peeps through gaps of feelings.
This much do I understand.

The garland that You put around Your neck,
the flowers that dropped onto the ground,

would You give all that again?

In one moment, a load of sorrows
and in another, a garland of gems.
No one knows when You shall do what.

On that stormy and dark night,
I was crying in the forest.

Nobody was close by to talk to and understand my suffering.

Many branches had broken
and tender buds lay on the ground.
Flowers and fruits had been detached from the trees
and cried with lamentation.

In my mental garden,
at the end of this frightful night,
after the storm,
a mild breeze blew.
Would You come with charming adornment?

Into the depth of my mind,
who are You who secretly came?
Tell me. O tell me.

In the cave of my mind,
with a smiling face,
touching all the seven worlds,
You sang a song.
What had been its melody?

You brought down heavenly brilliance
and filled my mind with sweet moonlight.
You made all atoms and molecules dance,
ignoring distinctions of any kind.

You exist, and that is why the world exists,
that is why the universe is filled with both time and that which is beyond time.
Only due to this does sweetness emanate from the smile of flowers,
as time loses its relevance.

During an intensely dark night,
secludedly,
You came, opening my doors.

My doors had been closed and my windows shut.
Thus I could not hear Your footsteps.

In the sky, there were dense clouds.
Within my heart, there was the luster of light.
Outside, the god of death was dancing with His tuft of hair spread.

In such an environment,
You came down close to me
and within moments,
You removed the burden of my pains.

All the dark clouds that had accumulated in the firmament of my mind
vanished with the moonlight.

All taunts and sighs disappeared,
in the microcosmic attainment of Your mercy.

Age after age I have longed to keep You in my mind.

I have been ideating on You deep within my eyes,
seeing You clad with charming adornments.

You are the most brilliantly shining mountain,
O beloved!
O most respected and pleasing entity,
let all my actions be goaded by Your will!

I seek Your shelter,
praying for Your grace,
for You are source of all mercy,
the eternal benevolence.
Remove from my mind all materialistic attachment,
so that Your anklebells may always play.

Sitting on the shore of the dark ocean,
O lord,
I remain, remembering only You.

Engrossing myself in You at times,
and beyond time,
my heart is filled with honey.

The fragrance of my vital force spreads far into the blue sky
towards an unknown destination,

without heeding to any obstruction,
not succombing to tiredness,
overcoming all difficulties.

Why and when did You sent me to this world?
I know not what thought You had in mind.
Gently whisper into my ears
and tell me what is it You want.

Coming and going,
desiring and obtaining,
amidst these, cries and smiles abound.

Sometimes forgetting,
sometimes remembering and loving
the shine of the gem.

The rays that are present on the banner of the sun,
the love that appears with the evening sandal breeze,
the sweetness that smiles in the moonlight,

all bring hope to the mind.

You are Great and I am meagre.
Holding on to Your path, I salute You.
I move on, never pausing,
to quench the desert thirst of my mind.

O Beloved,
that You are endlless life,
ever cascading with effulgence.

You touch the sky
and the netherworld,
making minds reverberate.

Within You is located
what is beyond imagination.
Everything we desire,
everything we wish to repell,
constantly surrounds You,
In the light of meditation
Your glory resounds.

You are my utmost closest.
You are in each pore of my mind.
You remain with me in all thoughts and actions,
in memories amidst solitude,
in the calm nest, in the quiet water,
as well as in the restless wind.

Your movement touches the core of every heart.
On the dark path during stormy nights

In my mind You keep dancing day and night,

not keeping Your word,
still I shall love You.

Although I never feel You close during happy days,
You do not remain far away during sorrows, O Lord.
You gave me sweet assurance.
You gave me a soft smile.

You told me that You belong to all,
that nobody on this earth is alone.
You never forget
and, sitting in the core of one’s heart,
You whisper songs of love into one’s ears.

In my mental garden of madhavii flowers,
You secretly dwell.
Not coming externally within the reach of my vision,
You remain as the pupil of my eyes,

shining in the firmament of mind.

Why do You not descend?

You float in the sandal breeze.
Why do You not speak?

You remain restless in the tide of life.
There is nothing like a particular or specific time for You.
Ideating on You, the net of infatuation breaks apart.
You are the benevolent object of all meditation.

The river Yamuna of love rushes unto You.
The banks in the land of Gokul overflows with quiver.
Hope, intuition and benevolent consciousness,

in You, move unrestrictedly.

Amidst the stormy wind in the rainy night,
You came intimately.

You did not speak
and a loving silence was spread all over.

On Your lips was a smile
that destroyed the darkness of the cloudy night.
You told that You loved me
and therefore You had come in this cimmerian night.

In the dense, dark clouds,
an unpronounced sound resonated.
In the darkness, it made me float
in the stream of the flow of effulgence.

Your glory is in the blue sky.
Your beauty is in each star.

Your love rises,
floating in ideation.

With the power of mantra,
You brought onto this earth the stream of effulgence.

The raised eyebrow of darkness has disappeared,  and in molecules life has arisen.
Losing itself, full of rhythm,

the mental peacock rushes about and dances.

The threat is no longer.
The auspicious time of crowning has come.
Amidst the crimson glow and the decoration of flowers
You gave life and consciousness.

You are the vibration of life on this earth.
You are the mental vibration of the seven spheres.
You are the restless series of waves.
You pour forth the flow of love.

I am at the shelter of Your mercy.
I am but a limited bubble in the unlimited cosmos.
My movement is within the unknown and unrecognised.

You came in the sweet morning,
along new and tender leaves, buds and flowers.

You smiled, filling the whole world.
You made the inside and outside one,
and removed darkness with golden rays.
You became bounded
by the bondage of love of the human mind,
by the aspiring look of the microcosm.

You have no boundary.
Your glory pervades the entirety of the three strata of the world.
Marking longitudes on atoms and molecules,

You remain adorned with unique decorations.

I am unable to hold the melody sung by You.
Why have You hidden Yourself in the core of my heart?

O Lord,
for You, I have come rushing here.

I have never seen You.
But from a distance,
I have loved You.

The sandal breeze did not charm me.
Devastations did not obstruct me with fear.
Infatuation did not bind me with a flowery rope.
I remain intoxicated by the pull of love.

Hitting my head with my hands,
several nights have passed.
Today, the colourful morning has come.
Opening the door,
I have come onto the path.

By Your attributes,
the world is enchanted.
You protect all.
You are the ultimate desideratum of all.

By Your beauty and dance,
everyone’s mind and heart is filled.
You provide pleasant sensations to all.

When the universe had not been created,
there was no lively and green shine like that of emeralds.
There was only the infinite brilliance

of potentiality and possibility.

By Your will, everything came about
and creation took place with innumerable specific qualities.
By providing consciousness and mind,

due to immeasurable affection,
You awakened oscillations of love.

Do not leave.
Listen and keep in Your mind my words.
Stop here just for some time, O Beloved.

The garland that I threaded -
about it only, listen attentively.

By tying Your feet with this floral garland,
I do not want to keep You bound to my home.
With silent feet, You go to Your abode.
I shall not stop You by uttering a word.

Washing my mental mirror with tears,
I threaded this garland for You.
This garland of mine carries the load of love,
and there is no fatigue or affliction whatsoever in it.

Whenever I think that I know and understand something,
I observe that in fact I know nothing.

When I come to the path
and look for the means of my journey,
I do not understand what to seek.

Since the unknown past,
in an unknown stream,
I float, far and further.
Searching the unknown,
wandering day and night,
I do not understand why I roam.

O merciful one,
what is Your divine play?
You play with this meagre entity of Yours in ever new ways.
How shall this game of the Cosmic with the microcosm continue?

For ages,
I have been sitting on the path of Your arrival,
awaiting You.

Today,
You came in the intense rain.

My moist fragrance keeps floating
along the pollen of ketakii flowers.

I have been searching You during daylight.
I have been searching You in star after star during dark nights.
I searched You in the deep, blue sky.

Yet, You remained hidden in an unknown arena.

My hot days and tiring nights have passed.
Now, morning has come and my garland is present
but only its thread without flowers remains.
O beloved,
what can I offer to decorate my welcoming You?

But what for?
Was Your loving me only Your delusive game, Your liila?

The answer to all “whys” lies in Your illusive play.
Whatever You do, I consider auspicious,

and, by that strength, I cross all obstacles.

I do not want answers as to “why”,
for no one is the object of my meditation except You.
Stay in my mental mirror at all times and in all places.

Filling the deep blue sky with all Your being,
You came today.

The clouds bear the pollen of ketakii (screwpine) flowers on their bosom
and the peacocks of my heart started dancing with joy.

The fragrance of jasmine flowers fills the air.
The deer in the forest glades are looking up into the sky.
Thinking about Him,

the viina of my mind starts playing anew.

The pollen of kadamba flowers are scattered about in delight
and drops of water lie traced on them.

My eyes look at the decorations of the niipa trees
and see the world dressed up in celebration.

The sound of Your flute attracts me.

However hard I try not to listen to it,
it is to no avail.
My mind won’t heed to what I decide.

In the garden of my mental Vrindavan,
in the recess of light and shade,
wherever I hide,
I hear it in the effulgence of love.

In heaven, in the mortal world or in hell,
wherever I go,
it remains with me day and night,
binding me to the twine of love.

Where the ocean gets dissolved into the distant blue sky,
while sitting on the sandy beach,

at the hour of the crimson dawn,
I find His faint and indistinct presence.

O creator of beauty,
I love You,
and dance to Your rhythm wholeheartedly.
Your vibration awakens evernew, pauseless and deep love.

Innumerable moments have passed.
Countless nights have passed.
O Ocean,
You are endless and infinite.
You remain ever unknown,
residing in the effulgence of consciousness.

I know that You, O Lord, are mine.
So why don’t I get You close?

I have heard that You are in all hearts individually and collectively.

You are the red sun in the morning.
You are also the hotbodied sun at noon.
You intoxicate atoms and molecules
that dance rhythmically around You.

You are the secret event in the mind of flowers,
and the sweet pang of separation of love.
You listen to all unwritten history.
You remain decorated with the adornment of petals.

It is difficult to recognise You.

You are situated in sweet and ever sweeter feelings.
You are the entity that is dearer to me than even my own life.
You are also in hard stone and in the destructive liila.
You are spread throughout the universe.

When I think You as distant most
and hardest amongst the hard,
then, through the smile of the flowers,
the intense moonlight
sings the song of love.

Although I have no merit at all
I continue calling You with all my heart.

The stars in the sky make me realise that You help everyone.
The meteorites in the blue sky radiate light for You, O Lord.

You have given me much,
yet I have not given You anything.
Through the bud of a flower,
today, I offer myself at Your feet.

“Tell me,

why did the honeybee not come today?”

(the sandal breeze speaking to the lonely flower:)

Which unknown fairy called you?
In the faint appearance of light,
He won your mind.
In the frenzied illusiveness of your restless consciousness,
who cast such obliviousness upon you?

(the sandal breeze speaking to the honeybee:)

Which lily flower, with a heart full of honey,
anointed with mental saffron,
and the light of the moon,
smilingly looked at you,
and called You with such deep feelings
that you had no option but to leave?

The way You loved each atom and molecule -
it is this that remains,
kissing the stream of life,
from beyond the periphery of time.

With Your heart,
You remain in the pollen of flowers
and in the enchantment of worldly colours.
You are at the root of tall grasses.
You fill the wet mud and You encompass galaxies.

Electrons revolve by Your will.
The mind dances far, moving in Your vibrations.
You are on land, in water and in the sky.
You are in air and fire.
You pervade all the fundamental factors.

Therefore You came close to me.

You recognised this stream,
throbbing with ripples,
and drew it close to You.

You did not like us to be separated by distance.
You bound this microcosm inseparably with the tie of Your love.
O great ocean,

You fell in love with this tiny drop of Yours.

I have no fear of losing anything.
You are endless and boundless.
You are the quintessence of everything.
You conveyed this message to all.

You are mine.
You are mine only.

In the corner of my deserted heart
both You and I will live together.
I want nothing but You.
You are my shelter and You are my base.

Those who have left in the past
and those who are to come in the future
will continue to be spoken about in our minds.
None is inferior, all are Yours.

Whatever I am to do in a right or a wrong way,
I shall do with Your ideation and in total surrender.
I shall sing Your song with concentration and attentiveness.
You are endless in beauty and unlimited in qualities.

In the darkness of the cimmerian night,

I have floated the boat of this song of mine unto You.

With hoisted sails and crushing waves,
it shall move ahead far, sailing against the counter flow.

I will no more heed to any forbidding.
Why should one fear when You are one’s own?
Forgetting all obstructions,
oscillating with hope,
I shall move forward with open and free vitality.

O unseen Lord,
You stay in effulgence
and call from the distance with indicative signals.
You smear the fragrance of love onto life

and bring us close by Your unseen pull.

Although I love You,
You did not come.
You did not show Yourself.
What mistake did I commit?

I think of You day and night,
during colourful evenings and mornings.
I have kept marked my hope-filled eyes.

At the banks of the mental Yamuna river,
I have been searching You each hour.
With agony-afflicted tears,
why do I return again and again?

Today, unbeknownst to others,
in the grove of kimshuk flowers,
who are You playing the viina?
Reveal Yourself! O Reveal Yourself!

The sweetness that You scatter in my mind
is as dazzling as (the reflection of the sun on) a white cloth.

You never want anything.
There would be no purpose to it anyway.
From the world beyond thoughts,
in isolation and seclusion,
what message do You announce?

In the empty house of my mind,
would You come within my reach?
Tell me by speaking to me.
As the moonlit bathed evening departs,
sing the song of infinity before me.

With Your effulgence
the world is filled.
Why do You stay far away?

Buds have appeared on the mango and palash trees for You.
Don’t You know that?

As quintessence of this world,
You are seated on the lotus altar.
From the distant blue water,
with a smiling face,
You go on observing.

If You love me, come still closer.
Forgive my mistakes,
showering Your grace, O Lord.

At the time of this great festivity of light,
if You do not come, who else will come?
Come, singing through Your own mouth
the victory song of life,
in a new tune and melody.

In a small corner of Your mind,
grant me shelter,

I do not want anything else.
I do not want a fountain of nectar.

I shall stay close to You
and always feel that I am within You.
Taking You with me,
in Your mental world,
I shall smile or cry.

Along the tides of hopes and desires,
I used to distance myself.
Now I have seen the formless ocean.
I may now merge into You.

O infinite consciousness,
after coming and going time after time,
I now recognise and understand You.

The stream of the universe originates in You.
You are also its only goal.
The river of mind flows in two directions,
it flows both internally and externally.

That river, after knowing You,
despite being hindered by stones,
never forgets You.
Concentrating all its energy,
it can break walls.

Time does not overpower You.
Beautiful forms do not reflect You fully.
Therefore, I remember You
as one beyond the scope of time and form.

You are like honey in a thorny bush.
In difficulty You provide help.
You radiate soft rays of compassion.
You are the self-created Lord of all time.

The sweet moonlight influenced cakor bird
goes round the sky expecting to find You.

But essentially only its coming and going takes place.
It fails in its quest and returns to its mental nest.

The taste of nectar is its objective.
The endeavour and the aspirant unify and become one.
Keeping in the mind the distant moon,

it does not understand that others are left behind.

I grasp the past understanding
that the mind is filled with the moon.
With an overflooding heart,
creating His portrait,
I see Him in my mental mirror.

Other than You, none is to be found anywhere.

Your glory is within and beyond the periphery of time.
The bird in the forest also declares that.

The old goes and the new comes,
shining and illuminated by Your colourful light.
The old ones merge in You,
and eternally survive within You.

O Old One,
O Evernew One,
within You lies embedded the life of the entire universe.
You are with each atom and every body.

You pervade all.

The fairy coming from the world of effulgence
gave the news of light.

And with a sweet smile and love,
told everyone to love all.

That no one may cry due to the pangs of hunger,
or be panting for breath due to intense suffering from a disease.
That no one may have to see the darkness of the world
due to lamentation caused by mental agony.

May all faces be smiling bright.
May all sleep pleasingly with happiness
as in the realm of dreams
where honey abounds in the pollen of flowers.

Over the blooming niipa flower of my mind,
the honeybee hovers around smilingly to kiss its pollen.

I attained what was beyond my expectations:
the sphere of feelings, unaffected by language,
that pleasing honey, embodying the smiling moon of autumn -
You kept it all in the core of my mind.

Name, form and attributes of Yours -
none of it is known to me.
I only know that You are that entity I wanted.
By Your mercy and causeless grace,
I shall move on the path of effulgence without pausing.

The night turned into morning
and my intense dream today faded away.

The night became covered with infatuation,
and unlimited darkness was unbound.

Even the polestar was covered with clouds
and a storm was blowing with intense speed.
I kept calling You impulsively,
attempting to overcome darkness.

The sandal grove was filled with thorns.
As this state receded, a delightful state of bliss emerged.
Deceptive negativity turned abstract

and I attained Your causeless grace.

When drowsiness had filled my eyes,
You were close by.

Opening my eyes,
I saw that You were leaving,
and only Your ankle bells were sounding.

From the distant heavenly nebula,
the tinkling of Your melody continuously comes floating.
I hear it without a wink in my eyes.

The melody dances in my mind and satisfies my ears.

What an illusive game of Yours with my heart is this?
What a neglect of unit microcosmic consciousness?

I wanted to place my garden’s garland
onto the charming spring of my mind.

Filling the rainbow with colour,
when did You come for the first time?

There were no living beings,
trees, creepers or shrubs.
There was no feeling of vitality.

The sun arose, destroying darkness.
There were series of waves in the ocean.
Light smiled through the dark clouds.
The initial sky emerged on that day.

The prehistoric area passed.
A new history begun.
The world was filled with waves of melodies.
Mankind and creatures like birds prayed to You.

The flowers that bloomed at dawn,

If the moonlight does not come,
wasteful is the use of coating the lily with honey.

Not wanting to take my mind,

He came on a new morning
and floated away into the distant effulgence.

The gem of my mind started shining
and darkness disappeared.

Why does He come and why does He go?
With rhythm He makes me smile
and with rhythm He makes me cry.
Making me pick up emeralds with cries and smiles,
He left a mark in my memories.

Amidst the decoration and beauty of the spring season,
though He comes within my reach, He does not stay.
Amidst the fire of red kimshuk flowers in spring,
He entrances with the intoxication of colours.

O God of my life,
where did You go,
leaving my mind vacant?
Remembering You, I bow hundreds of times.
At least do accept my salutations.

You keep doing whatever You wish to do,
ignoring the essence of my life.
By burning essence in these lamps,

In that new and intensely blue sky,
You appeared and smiled.

In stars and nebula,
You made effulgence dance.

With the glow of the kaostubha diamond,
and the shine of infinity-originating emeralds,
You appear in the stream of ideation.
You dance on endlessly,
to the limits of mind,
merging thoughts with what is beyond thought.

Analysing Your attributes with meagre intellect
is like counting particles of sand on the shore of the ocean.
There is no alternative but love

to realise Your mercy and attain You.

Who are You who came in the moonlit night with smiling juhi flowers,
riding on the chariot of light?

Accompanying me during my solitude,
why have You intoxicated me with this game of hide and seek?

I have no wealth enabling me to obtain Your love in exchange.
Whatever You have given me, that You may look at.

But do not go and leave me alone.

Your astonishing illusive game,
originating ages back,
is sometimes dark and sometimes bright.
Even by the force of love You may not come,
making for many delusions.
And sometimes You do not keep the distance,
being extremely close.

Listening to my constant call,
is this how Your love flows:

The evening flower of malatii after a day’s intense sun,
the fragrance of the ketakii flower during rains,

the loving affection of the shefalii flower during autumn,
the reflection of light on tall grasses.

The small flakes of snow during winter,
the intense drop of snow during the prewinter cold,
the smell of bees in spring,

all filled with the colour of the festivity of spring.

during intense darkness,
in storms and in typhoons,
You are with me.

You are ever invisible, and untarnished.
You are the destroyer of calamities,
the pulsation of life
and the ointment for attaining cognition.

Your beauty and qualities engross my heart.
One who attains You fears none.
Such a person binds You with the bonds of love and devotion.

Is it that, observing my pain, You melted
and descended onto this earth to attend to me?

You came with a heart full of sweetness,
with a pearl scattering smile
and with eyes marked with the collyrium of love.

You refused to remain in heaven.
You descended in divine sport.

You do not have any particular name or form.
I find You in hundreds of names and forms.
In the tender blossom of my mind,
in Your mysterious play,
You drowned my intellect.

Remain with me always,
within and beyond the periphery of time,
in sweet ideation,
in the lotus of my heart.

You came without announcement
and went away without informing anyone.

But You left Your footprints,
applied balm on my pain,
and kindled the light of hope.

You are the controller of the seven spheres.
You surpass all measurements.
You remain beyond imagination.
By Your illusive game, You came to touch this earth.

With a limited and meagre mind
how am I to understand all this?
I search the basis of the particles of Your mercy.
With diverse colours and the power of ideation,
You opened up the closed prison bolts.

This garland of love between You and me,
tell me, who has threaded it, You or me?

I was on the dusty earth,
lying in mud,
holding an earthen lamp
and saluting You mornings and evenings.

In my hands was a garland of malatii flowers,
smeared with lively fragrance and honey.
On Your neck was a garland of vaejayantii flowers.
Emanating the brilliance of kaostubha diamond,
You descended.

I offered my own self.
“I” lifting the garland,
I forgot all limitations and smallness.
My whole existence started shaking,
when You stole my feelings,
O entity beyond thought.

You dance in creation, preservation and destruction,

I have never seen Him with my eyes.

With the morning light,
by tunes and melodies,
He unified all good and bad.

Own and others,
outside and inside,
for You there is no hatred or disrespect.
Taking all with You,
You dance with smiling vibration.

O unseen Lord,
what illusive game of Yours this is.
You provide ever new feelings.
From thought to beyond thought in newer ways,
You float on in the mind.

You came with the light,
scattering a flow of effulgence.

You came without announcing it,
and bestowed sweetness without telling anyone.

All accumulated agonies,
were removed in a moment.
Amidst the muddy cyclone,
love awakened.

Mind does not accept the (uncertainty between the) known and the unknown.
It floats into affection, comfortably spreading its feet.

My tearful mental story instantly became studded with joy.
With the message of love,

You filled my ears and saturated each pore of my memories.

I wish to always see the moist love of your feelings.

I swing the garland of love

The beauty of my heart contains incomparable love.
Do not ignore it.

I have collected these flowers,
after minute selection,
searching in my mental garden.
Carefully, I have threaded this garland.

O beloved,
yet You did not look at me.

You remained far away
as the central gem in the nucleus of the world of ideation.

Nobody knows the history
of this garland of love between You and me.
It has been threaded in the twine of hope and despair,
picking up emeralds of smiles and cries.

I am never alone.
In the world of ideation there is no deception,

I was lying in the dust
when You pulled me up onto Your lap.

Removing the dust,
You told me:
“Stay on this earth with head held high.”

How many days and hours have since passed?
How many lights of hope got extinguished?
Within Your love full of conscience,
You kindled a steady and constant light.

You are for him who has none,
loving the distressed and the downtrodden.
You ever touch and accompany like a shadow,
at the bank of the ocean of time.

What happens with the things that come and go?
They simply delude and make one lament.

Gems, pearls, silver and gold,
the collected wealth of the seven oceans,
can never last forever
and show only glimpses of temporary joy.

You remain and shall become my own,
within the periphery of my meagre mental vision.
I will remain absorbed in sweet and charming ideation,
in the impeccable light of this visible world.

but my voice is muted by series of waves.

You are my closest.
My life is with Your rhythm.
Your voice resounds on the lyre of the universe,

My mind only wants this much grace:
That You may stay within my feelings,
each moment, with charming adornment.

During this spring festivity of colours,
Your spring colour today inundates my mental garden.

Seeing the adornment of flowers that came with Your arrival,
dry branches become marked with colour.

The peacock and the cuckoo sing in the isolated forest,
in solitude,

with fragrance imbibed love,
and amidst the sound of anklebells.

I know that You see all.
All remain intoxicated for You.
They are eager to attain You,
to smile in the bath of liberation.

O object of my meditation of immeasurable attributes,
You love all living beings.

Playing the flute with colourful lips,
overflooding the Jamuna river of my life,
making all dance within creation, sustenance and dissolution,
You remain absorbed in that sweet illusive play.

You are the undercurrent flowing beneath the sand,
losing Yourself in the external world,
filling the entire garden of Vrindavan,
You submerge all in sweetness.

In the inert crowd of darkness,
I was asleep in the net of infatuation.

You came, broke my slumber and filled me with light.

Nothing is unknown to You.
You know all animate and inanimate entities.
Within and beyond the universe,
no one is an outcast.

You look after all at all times,
and You do not remove the sight of Your love.
Those who are fortunate or even unfortunate
are all on Your lap.

On this darkness-covered night,
carrying light in Your hands, You came.

On a rocky and thorny path,
You spoke words of hope.

A storm had accompanied intense rains.
Severe thunder resounded like roars of drums.
My mental swan became impaired and deluded.
You then showed the beacon leading to the path.

There is no time to idly sit and rest.
The floral bed has not been spread.
Consciousness calls the mind from all corners.
O, those voices stem from only You.

Mixing affection and love with the fragrance of flowers?

Human beings used to be trapped in darkness
in the closed home of inert thoughts.
By opening doors and pouring in light,
You intoxicated minds.

By the colourful torch of Your love,
human life started swinging.
Raising high the flag of hope,
You stood frontmost.

Kindling my lamp,
I have been calling You,
again and again with tearful eyes.
Alas, You did not respond.

People say that You are soft-hearted,
like the pollen of a flower containing sweetness.
Yet for me this does not hold true.
How can it be called softness?

Removing my lamp,
I tried to see whether You might be hiding somewhere.
O, there can be no deception before You,

as You are ever with me,
accompanying me day and night.

Playing on the viina of my heart,
in which tune do You give Your call?

Why do You fill the sky and air with rhythm and beat?
Please tell me.

No one knows the history of the origin of Your call.
There were then neither pearl necklaces

nor beautiful flowers for You to look at.

I am unable to understand
why You keep calling me this way.
Surrounded by restlessness, You were alone.
That is why You wanted a playmate.

Lord of time,
You remain ever engrossed
in Your rhythmic Tandava dance.

You have untied the knot of Your matted hair
and scattered Your spiritual wealth on all.

By Your dance in cadence and rhythm,
with vigorous jumps,
the tranquil earth surges.
Caught in the burning heat of fiery volcanos
the atoms of the universe begin to dance.

To shatter the bondages of all those
whose minds are bound by a serpentine noose
You blew Your long horn.

Why do you keep staring with sorrowful eyes?
Do not be disheartened.

even if the roaring of thunder crashes from the sky,

From a world of which the name is unknown,
the unknown traveler came.

He gave the language of hope and touched the essence of life.
Without expecting anyone or anything,

He takes all with Him.
He takes the microcosm in exchange for the Cosmic.

Human beings were deluded with thoughts of inert matter.
They had lost the awareness of being human beings.
The balloon floating in the stormy sky descended down to earth.

nor an ocean of qualities.

I just want to make You mine,
mornings, evenings and at all times.

O formless gem,
O touchstone,
I know and understand that You are everything.

Due to Your existence everything else exists.
Due to Your existence qualities attain value.

Secretly become my own
and stay in the recess of my mind day and night.
My respect and adoration ought not be in vain.

Some people,
even after remaining in close proximity,
do not recognise the Supreme Entity.
But some people,
staying far away,
are in position to realise Him.

Some people,
even after getting the vital touch,
remain immersed in intense inertia.
But some people,
even without knowing Him,
accept Him.

The morning light and the darkness of the night,
the scattered beauty in the blue sky,
even after observing these,
some people do not listen to their song.
But some people,
even without seeing all these,
listen to it.

O Lord,
do this much only for me,
fill my heart with sweetness,
so that I may attain You without remaining oblivious.

It shows the glimpses of ancient events on earth and in heaven.
O ancient one,

You are the newest,
You are with all as is life.
You are present in feelings and ideations as intense intuition.
This is why there is this intense longing for You.

Colour my mind with the emanation of illumination.
Staying in the depths of feelings, play Your flute.
Do not ignore me.

Show Your guiding beacon,
so that my remaining on that path shall be ever fruitful.

You dance to the rhythm of Your divine game.

the golden dream withered away.

Yet you are beyond comprehension.

You exist in light and darkness.
You are bathed in the fragrance of the flowers of Your mind.

You make others laugh and cry, according to Your sweet will.
You float ideas into the vast blue sky.

In Your incomprehensible divine play,
You make everyone dance to Your wish.

You sing Your songs.

You have vibrated the entirety of existence.
Yet no one understands it.

That which was covered with darkness,
became decorated with colours today.
What is written with the penance of the night,
icharacterises and indicates the advent of the first morning.

From the sound in the Cosmos
the flow of life started floating.
At the end of slumber,
with impulse,
the concept of time arose.

You kindled fire during spring
in this grave of red palash flowers.

In the recess of mind, secretly,
why this festive colouring?
Who would tell?

Your mind is colourful,
and colour You did pour out in its totality.
In the garden of Vrindavan
by whose melody,
do flocks of parrots remain engrossed in singing?

Having heard Your tune,
my mind fails to contain itself
as my heart abounds with restlessness.
O Krsna of Vraja,
time has come,
this spring,
at the arbor of my mind.

Secretly come into my mental mirror.
Both red feet of Yours may silently and privately appear
at the lotus of my mind.

With tearful eyes, I remain seated, looking at the path.
The peacock of my home again and again calls.

If You do not come, awakening in real life,
do come in dream.

My home is not alien to You.
All are embedded in You.
In Your ideation, numerous nights have turned into mornings.
Look at me with merciful eyes at least once.

And let this be accompanied by the sound of ankle-bells.

The unknown traveler came into the depth of my mind.
What for, who knows?

He charmed with rhythm after rhythm
and brought sweet fragrance into my mental garden.

I have loved Him without any consideration of logic and reasoning.
I shall not move by any argumentativeness any time.
I shall remain solitarily seated in the posture of meditation.

That traveler of mine is present even today,
pouring out love each moment.
My mental peacock dances on,
and finds Him in seclusion.

On this sandy beach of life,
I am picking shells all by myself.

The stars in the sky shine with glow,
and the nebula also wants to be seen.

Numerous thoughts appear in my mind.
Many events of the past and several illusions arise.
What has become of them?

Nobody knows it.
Perhaps they remain engraved in the sky.

There is no end to thoughts and feelings,
They come and go, leaving me alone.
That is why I want You close.
Forgetting what would be the appropriate time,
I call You crying.

I love You,
without considering any of my good or bad qualities.

You are the limitless and immeasurable ocean of love.
Thus I long to attain You close.

You are constantly present in both my pain and pleasure.
Even though unseen, You remain the cherished goal of all.
You are the totality of meditation, knowledge and devotion.
I realize You in each pore of my life.

O symbol of benevolence and icon of effulgence,
You are dearer to me than my own life.
In attachment and affection,
I have understood by experience
that trying to know You is never in vain.

O Krsna of Vraja,
playing the flute,
what for have You come today?

My mental river Yamuna does not dance any more with melody and rhythm.
It lies buried under a crowd of inert matter.

There is no grave of Vrindavan.
High buildings surround my mind.
The sweetness that arose from seeing You
when You stood below the kadamba tree,
is no longer.

My river Yamuna today has shrunk.
There is no soothing shade of banyan trees.
The dark charm of tamal trees prevails under the lap of dark clouds.
I wonder whether the moon-like Krsna

remains hidden due to a prolonged lapse of time.

I love You wholeheartedly,
but You have not responded to my call.

I searched in places of pilgrimage and in forests
and within the gaps of clouds.

O dearest,
Your divine game is mysterious.
O presiding deity of my mental temple,
O innermost of my inside,
I have understood this fact,
that You are to stay far.

You may continue the divine play,
there is no harm to it.
That I may see heavenly sweetness,
O embodiment of consciousness,
I joyfully seek a wee bit of Your grace,
each moment.

Taking place amidst light and shade,
what is this divine game of Yours?
My mind won’t heed to having to stay far away.

You created oscillations in my lotus garden.
In the consciousness-absorbed breeze,
noboody remains stationary.

I have come to this earth to do Your work,
to tie You with the twine of love.
O nearest-most and incomparable one,
knowing the affairs of my mind,
why won’t You understand?

You break the fear of bondage of reactive momenta.
You illuminate all minds.
You remain unseen and without any blemish.
Come closer slowly and smile with sweet charm.
I cannot forget You.

I was sleeping in darkness,
when You came,
piercing the darkness.

I was afflicted by the hunger of matter
when You brought the taste of nectar.

Countless days and nights had passed.
Yet there was no end to my darkness.
With a thunderous declaration and smiling consolation,
You impulsively woke me up.

Then I saw, that my intense darkness had been removed,
and that into my life, a colourful morning had come.
Removing my meanness,

O Lord,
You pulled me unto You.

To which unknown sphere did You leave?

O Shiva, Shankara, merciful one,
bestowing intuition,
You have shown the path.

No one has the intellect to understand You.
No one possesses the power to estimate You.
Hence at Your feet, I seek Your mercy.
O entity quickly pleased by all at all times.

O God of annihilation, destroyer of bondages,
burning expression of fright to accumulated sins,
You are ever adorned with trident and long horn.
You shine like a silvery mountain.

I look at You without blinking.

Your fragrance floats in the air
and in the distant great blue sky.
Appear in the broad light full of impulse,
O golden flower of my garden!

There is nothing in the world
that You cannot give.
You are both fatherly love and motherly affection.
In stars, planets and nebulae,
I find Your reflections.

You came through the song,
and gave a touch to my heart.

Manifested Yourself in my mind,
and with a smiling face,
come closer in my meditation.

The day passes ideating on You.
Lights shine in the evening sky.
Having come, stay for some moments,
and make me Your own.

This evening lingers on,
as if all moments were collected.
With the moonlight, and churned joy,
all earnestness and sweetness impregnated memories,
float into Your melody.

In the entire existence,
You are the sole aggregate.
My time passes in intense slumber and drowsiness,
Awakening me, where are You going to?

Why do the days and nights come?

And why do they go?
Why have I come?

and I am surrounded by vivacity.

The binding and frozen ice melted away within moments.
Bright shining gold appeared with joy.

In Your mind, You gave affection to all,
as all are within Your rhythm and song.

The clouds that had filled the sky floated away in a moment.
Within the firmament of my mind,

moonlight started shining.
What I could not imagine, materialised in form.
It all came about due to the pull of Your sweetness.

remain in my mind only.

keep touching that which is limited.

give sweetness.

You appeared in the mental lane.

You came through the tears flowing from my eyes.
And doing so, You wiped them away.

Coming and going is essential for living beings.
That is why, they have to uphold Your ideation.
This experience of coming and going taking place within You,
living beings find the strength to move on by themselves.

With Your luminous effulgence,
please remove the entire load of my agony.
You are mine,
O most beloved.
Let me realise that I have attained Your mercy.

You came, kindled the lamp
and provided the touch of love.

Still I could not recognise and understand You.

Through the sandal breeze in the blue sky,
that current of love keeps flowing.

You came as the festivity of light
and smiled in the canopy of the depth of my mind.
You filled feelings in the empty mind.
Who would explain all that to whom?

To the scared living beings in the darkness,
You provided fearlessness.
Pulling all unto You,
You told
“ I am present in the festivity of life,
in this world,
formed with colours. “

My mind wants You to come close,
during sleep, dream, while relaxing or in an awakened state -
it does not heed to any consideration of time.

During crimson mornings when the sun rises,
in my floral garland and the songs of birds, I search.
I search during the fall of meteorites,

during storms,
and in the dark, dense fog.

Please listen to my story and feel my agony,
the sincere restlessness of the microcosm for the Cosmic.
My eventful history has been written with tears,

covering the smiling beauty.
Today I find myself defeated,
and all fear and shyness is gone.
You came providing sweetness and illuminating the rain in darkness.

On this blissful and auspicious morning,
You arrived with effulgence.

Nobody on earth had forecasted that.
Your light rushed forth,
dancing as an abstract stream and removing darkness.

From the beginningless, unlimited Cosmic space,
sparks of lightning scattered in all directions.
Terminating the inertial stupor with illuminated vitality,
all atoms became vibrant.

Thereafter, much time passed.
Many strange rhythms arose,
entranced with new and colourful love.

O beautiful-eyed one,
tell me,
why have the clouds in your eyes soaked your eyes?

The dark mark on your cheek has mingled with colour,
and you have forgotten all worldly agonies.

Light has covered darkness.
Darkness has vanished with whatsoever good and bad.
Pour out more and more mental sweetness.

Don’t You wish to keep darkness away?

Your dark chignon is tied with a dark thread.
Today, sing only of His history and attributes.
Do not think of anything other than Him.

By the touch of fire,
You removed the icy coldness.

By providing feelings to inert beings,
You created a colour-showered game.

I do not understand at all
what the purpose of this divine game is.
I won’t forget that besides this play, nothing else exists.
Searching for the creator of this play is the ultimate goal and spiritual practice.
This thought You have awakened in my mind.

It is due to this divine play that living beings survive.
All desires and achievements take place within this play only.
In this world of liila,

using the thoughts of liila,
You flowed the current of liila.

At Your feet,
O Lord,
I have never offered anything
that would have been raised by my own hands.

Whatever I gave, was given by You to me
and I considered that thing of Yours to be mine.

I remained intoxicated with ego,
removing my humanity.
I retained the devil of my mind
at the root of my motivation for action.

After a long time, consciousness arose.
And I observed
that accumulated darkness had surrounded me,
casting a blinding web of inertia upon me.
Today, realising my mistake,
after a long sigh,
I call You with tears in my eyes.

By Your effulgence the world is illuminated.
That is why everything appears lovely.

You pour nectar into the mind
through the soft and sweet sandal breeze.

The sky and air are stirred
and the microcosmic mind is restless.
With what charm of unknown melody
did You raise series of waves?

The intensely black and dark night
and the dark fog have disappeared.
The crimson ray of hope in the east appears,
to fill emptiness.

You know all the secret events of the mind.
You apply the mark of decoration onto one’s eyes.

You are both limited as well as unlimited!
You are not bound by desires and achievements.

You move in each atom and molecule
of the notes of the musical octave.

It is impossible to forget You,
even trying to do so.
The mind ever rushes unto You.
It wants the entity beyond thought
to come into the realm of thought,
to come into this world full of forms.

You are the ray of the crimson light.
You are like a gliding swan in the moonlit sky.
The wheels of Your cart have been moving since beginninglessness.

fills everyone’s life with Your vibration.
But in the dense forest of my mind,

I heard that You love,
that You shine in the firmament of all minds,
that You charmingly smile,
associating Yourself both individually and collectively.

Having put on fresh clothes after my bath,

through the strings of my viina.

You brought enlivening fire to kindle the lamp of my life.

The flower that was never to bloom
would have withered away as a mere bud.
Getting the touch of Your feet,
it made a wish and opened its eyes.

Those coming to this world without any smile,
without any impulse of love,

started loving and sharing affection.

Why then have You forgotten me?
And why do You kept me far away?

Do not go away into other lands any more.
Ignore the load I have carried over through eons.
Come closer with love
and let the ankle-bells on Your red feet be heard.

I am tired and fatigued.
Therefore I am unable to see You.
Even though You sit nearby,
I am unable to see You and feel unhappy.
You exist and I exist, and I love You.
For You, I have kept my hope colourful and sweet.

You provided bondage and liberation,
and loved the microcosm.
O formless one,
You came into form,

In the recess of my mind,

To all, You are the only ray of hope.
To every heart, You are the lamp within.

In cimmerian darkness, You are the dazzling white effulgence.
You are the kadamba flower, sweetened with honey.

In the eternal play of light and shade,
You manifest Yourself in Your universal divine sport.
In the midst of formlessness and in myriads of forms,
You are sometimes straight and sometimes angular.

I love You.
For You only, I laugh and weep.
To dispel the darkness of my ignorance,
I pray reveal Yourself,
in the sweet flow of cognition.

Sitting in the crowd of forms,
You listen to the song of formlessness.

Immersing Yourself in the ocean of form and beauty,
You awaken sound in the core of the heart.

In animated and unanimated bodies,
Your sound constantly resonates.
To all actions and thoughts,
You provide love.

In each particle, in each atom and molecule,
You play Your flute.
O embodiment of all eras,
You conquer the limitations of time.

Why don’t You think of those who love You?

Why don’t You pay attention to those
who have offered the nectar of their lives to You, renouncing the world?

During Your leisure period of time,
whether in daytime or at night,
why, in a corner of Your mind, don’t You look at those who call You?

Those who have offered You all their belongings,
who think of You only,
those who keep their mental lamp glowing,
why do You ignore?

Why do those who You love remain hidden?
Why do You keep them away from the smiling face of praise?

You grant wealth and capability to others,
raising them to the top of attributes
but You take away everything from Your devotees
who live modest lives.

The eight occult powers make a person devoid of discrimination.
Those who possess them eventually leave You.

Devotees however, find You in their mind each moment
and enjoy the bliss of fulfilment.

Thinking of You,
my days pass in pain and pleasure.

You came down to this muddy earth,
onto the mortal world that You created.

I, O Lord,
am a human being made up of earthen substances,
a colourful paper balloon, created by You.
That I may touch of the sky, I rush upward.

I fail to understand what might be an appropriate time
and look for peace within You.

Come closer and into the core of my heart.
Come in immaculate light.

I have heard about You from everyone’s mouth,
but I have never seen You.

You are the primordial sound of life,
so why do You remain silent?

There is no comparison to the crimson glow
that You give to life.
Your intellect is immeasurable.

You stay at the initial point
and float towards infinity.
You are present in the rhythm of movement on the path.
Why then won’t You appear to me?

what unique and divine game are You playing?

Riding on the throne of effulgence,
what wondrous and sonorous journey have You embarked upon?
With thunders and meteors at Your command

You shake the entire creation.

How many sleepless nights of mine have passed for You?

How many dark nights covered me with unbearable darkness?

My eyelids are wet with tears.
The traveller cries from deep within for losing his way on the path.
Not even once, did You come to me to fill me with love,
though I have heard that You are one’s most own.

Even should You not come, there is no harm,
for I find You in my mind.
In my home, there is no other than You.
Come into my mind,
with a charming smile
and tell me that I am Yours.

when You went away.

You threw into the dust the tray that was full of flowers.

Between You and me,
O Lord,
there can never be any comparison.
You are the star of the sky
and I am a firefly of this earth.

In whose eyes tears were present
was known to all in the world.
Even though You are beginningless and unlimited,
You came due to love.

What for? O what for?

In which corner and into whose ears,
did You secretly and with love convey all knowledge?

You are not alone.
You are present, accompanying all,
O Lord.
With the vitality of Your flute and by virtue of Your greatness,
You call all with resonance.

You whisper knowledge in everyone’s ears
and understand everyone’s longings.
We remain deaf due to impatience only,
and therefore do not listen to You.

This beautiful prewinter evening
is dancing in ecstasy and contemplating You.

In the atmosphere amidst the sweet fragrance of the shephalii flower,
who knows what these beautiful white clouds in the sky wish to express?
Which loving feeling of their heart do they long to communicate to whom?

Who could say when the first sunrise took place?
Nor can anybody guess when the last sunset will happen.
But this beautiful evening of the prewinter season
understands the fact that You know everything and constantly attract everyone.

Only one desire do I have in my heart:
That You grant me absolute devotion, Parabhakti.
With that strength, O Lord, I may attain You, I may attain salvation.
In the atmosphere of this melodious and colourful evening,
saturated with the love and fragrance of the shephalii flower,
I ask, bowing down to Your feet, to have mercy on me.

Describing You, language gets exhausted.
Intoxicating the mind, charming the heart,
You remain frenzied in Your enchanting play.

It is not possible to attain You by intellect.
You cannot be brought into fold by skill.
You love only after eliminating all pride and vanity.

keeping me tied by the thread of love.

I saw You shining uniquely within my own mind.

I saw You in the morning flowers,
in my arteries
and in the sphere of my own mind.
I saw You also in the soft breeze,
in the chirping of birds,
in the sound of the swan
and in my own tunes.

By my own intellect, I have attained You not,
for You took away my intellect.
You merged my ego and inertness
with the dust in the mud.
Such intense darkness
would otherwise have kept You away from me.

Amidst thorns, You made roses blossom.

In the cold winter season,
You provide the soothing warmth of a fire.
In the burning heat of summer,
Your touch is like the refreshing coolness of sandalwood paste.

You do all work as per Your wishes.
Sometimes You make one cry.
Sometimes You make one laugh.
Often, by the attraction of Your love, You pull one close.
At times, even though one looks at You,

You do not respond and just overlook.

You hide in the heat of fire.
At the same time You are in the vapor that floats in the sky.
O peacock of my mind,

You keep creating a play of light and shade.

You create ever new games,

You glide sometimes nearby, sometimes far away.

You flooded the dry Yamuna river,
inundating the Gokul of my mind.

You felt the agonies of human beings
irrespective of the places they live in.

Human existence used to cry out loud,
crumbling to dust and humiliated.
Bliss used to remain far away.
Such tearful event, You did recount to all.

In expectation of the morning light,
with a loud voice, resounding as if coming through a conch shell,
You smiled and declared with conviction

the great mantra
that this beautiful world be for all.

In the shining moonlight,
filling the sky and the air,
how far will Your smile go?

Contemplating You deep within,
my mind becomes coloured with Your thought.

Amidst the unbound and formless maya (the illusory attribute),
and against the backdrop of a unique panorama,

filled with floral fragrance that floats in the gentle breeze,
it spreads its wings and wants to move ahead with unhindered speed.

When You smiled for the first time,
You kindled series of lights
and bestowed the touch of vitality,
amidst heavenly feelings of love.

The eastern sky became colourful,
saying that this time light shall come.

With the hope of light,
living beings are awake,
and a smile appears on the lotus flowers.

The green leaves that were covered with darkness
are now shining, waving their heads.
The cakor bird, forgetting its mental agonies,
calls while perched on the branch of a tree.

Everyone carries expectations,
giving language to thoughts,
and looking towards the sky.
After waking up early in the morning,
they decorate and dress up for work,
unwilling to stay at home.

Sitting on the sandy shore of the ocean of time,
I count moments.

I have been thinking in my mind,
whether I could listen something about You on the viina of consciousness.

Coming from the distance, it floats away far.
The strings of that viina make the microcosms dance.
With that great rhythm and with bliss of the highest order,
I weave the web of imagination.

Whatever comes, goes.
Just for once, stand before me for a moment.
I admit that I have no spiritual effort.
Therefore I call by my feelings only.

on the curtain of the restless will of the dark night.

The cosmic will of the microcosm
shall create a home in Your mind.
It shall pour love into Your rhythm.

The effulgence of the infinite arena
shall put colour in the pond.
By this all darkness shall instantly vanish.

Let it not vanish.

Amidst the silvery moonlight in the eastern sky,
my mind pulsates with excitement.

In the recess of my mind,
life, althought full of love,
had not obtained the joy of spring.
Today, that sweet night came.
By finding You,
it became enchanted by the trance of love.

By Your smile, pearls flow.
By Your flute-play, the sky is flooded.
You came with rhythm and song,
into everyone’s life,
merging heaven and earth.

Without Kanu (Lord Krsna),
merely surviving is very difficult.
He is that glittering entity of my heart.

Day and night,
every single moment,
His flute enters my heart.
He tells me,
“I love you. That is why I call you.”

The flow of the Jamuna river of my life
is ensconced in His thought.
It keeps struggling strongly against the deep fog
and rushes along the high tide in hundreds of directions.

My mind has forgotten its entire burden of pain.
On earth now only joy and pleasure remains.

Applying the ointment of love,
my mind now sees the illumination of consciousness.

The peacock dances in the grove of kadamba.
Along the horizon stretches the golden dream.
The helpless world attained its cherished object.
The mind rejoices in such sudden surprise.

The door bolts of my mind have opened up.
Thoughts, language and tune
have merged into one.
By the will and the projection of that singular entity,
all started floating in one direction.

through songs and rhythms,
O Lord,
come into the arbor of my mind.

Pitch darkness kept me covered with dark fog.
O Lord,
remove it by Your sound.

Pollen carries the fragrance of the lotus,
yet I had kept myself away from it
and remained engrossed in the closed chamber of infatuation.
Today, with the new crimson dawn,

You opened my eyes and removed my bondage.

Oscillated by the spring season,
the ashok and palash trees are swinging.
There is a festivity of colours.
The earth is decorated with a new and colourful adornment.
Come and decorate my mind.

Like a beacon of light during the dark night,
You show me the path.
With the fall of the morning illumination,
You sing Your song,
yet I do not listen to it.

never the old,
You shine in the abstract realm.
Yet even after knowing it,
why don’t I recognise You?

You showered me in the effulgence of Your presence and vibration.
You removed all the darkness of my mind.

The darkness was like a towering mountain of deep, dark, blackness
of the dark, no-moon night.

You removed that huge pile of darkness,
so that only Your divine presence would remain in my mind.
You were smiling in a very soft and sweet way.

Today, on this glorious new dawn, You graced me by coming close to me.

Fulfilling the feelings of this microcosm,
filling the core of each pore of the nucleus of my mind,

I was lying beside the path,
rejected, hollow, with wet clothes,
when You pulled me close to You,
caressing me with the sweetness of Your affection.

My coming starts amidst the morning sun

indicate that the end is approaching.

appearing with pleasing sweetness?
He came amidst colours
and charmed with affection.

For Him, none is distant.
There exits neither good nor bad time.

In my home, there was a festivity of flowers and fruits.
You pulled these away and I was left alone.

I could not understand and went on begging,

Today, my home is filled with Your ideation.
In it, I restlessly search for gems.
I have no other option but to search.
Hence, I continue searching,
loving You secretly.

With the swing of spring, my mind oscillates.
The beauty of colours floats in the sky.

For an unknown reason,
someone with a soft mind
and from an unknown sphere,
sings a song to me.

The colourful world reflects in my mind.
From the outside, it rushes into the depth of my mind.
The outside came inside and the inside went outside.
Remaining between these two, the ego gets nullified.

With the charm of the madhavi flower from my sweet, spring time arbor,
the charmer becomes embodied in my garland.

The near went away and the distant came into my core.
He informs with a smile, that He remains neither far nor near.

I had not tied my tuft of hair into a chignon
with the garland of bela flowers.
I had not rehearsed any tune.
I merely kept calling You inside my mind.

Your image, restless with fragrance,
oscillates on the swing of hope.
My mind pours out flowers coated with love

I was lying on the ground like dust.
Engrossed in worldly thoughts,
I constantly longed for matter.
I did not understand that even a blade of grass
cannot move without Your will.

The light of the sun during daytime comes by Your grace.
And in the night the moon smiles by Your kindness.
With love, affection and compassion You fill the whole world.

What divinly illusory game You keep creating,
O kind Lord!

Sometimes You make one smile.
Sometime You make one cry.
And sometimes You make one know that You are everything.

Sometimes You bring a shine on the mountain peaks.
And sometimes You bloom flowers on them.
Sometimes You make intense clouds appear in the northeastern sky
and You become an annihilating storm.

I love You in Your hundreds of forms.
You are my ray of hope for me, age after age.
In the arbor of my mind, stay either close or far,
but do not hide Yourself.

In the garden of hope,
with compassionate eyes,
You looked into my mind.

I did not know what to ask
nor did I endeavour to do so.
I never thought of Your grace
and not even did I look into Your eyes.

O friend, my most beloved,
You are my eternal companion in weal and woe.
You are the soul of my soul.
You penetrate all intellect.
Come near with love.
Smile and fill the loneliness of my innermost heart.

With love-filled pupils,
You has come,
hearing their call?

Who is that worshipped-one
who has poured out the sweetness of His mind
by squeezing His heart?

Whatever good there is in the world, materialises in You.
With the nectar of consciousness

and the flute of consciousness,
You awaken inert microcosms.

You pour honey into the centre of the flower.
You look at everyone with only love.
You brought the moon to the dark night.
You do everything from Your heart.

My acquaintance with You is not just a matter of a few eras.
You were present with love earlier also.

That love, do not forget.

Day and night, morning till evening,
You have been present from time immemorial.
Forgetting to consider what might be an appropriate time,
just for a moment, please look at me.

Who would know what type of king You are?
You have no army,
nor any secretary,
and yet, in the mind, You remain busy in action.

During sleep, while awake,
in dream or in thought,
You remain ever alert with sound and resonance.
There is no limit to Your knowledge,
no balance (prama) of thought.
With the melody of light,
You remain ever absorbed in song.

You are with all day and night,
in individual and collective association,
through rhythm and tunes.
I do not find any spikes in You,
however much I may try.
O most beloved,
You dance uniquely.

Won’t You come into my mind and into my home?

You smile in the crimson colour of dawn.
In the evening, You express Yourself through the shefali flower.
You are merged in the abundance of moonlight,

fulfilling my heart with pleasing sandalwood fragrance.

Why then won’t You listen to my story?
Why don’t You understand the agony of my mind?
Why won’t You come as lamp of my hope,
illuminating my existence as if You were the sun?

Who is that unknown traveler who came?
I do not know why He distanced Himself.

Why does He move away,
unwilling to pause,
without coming within my reach?
I do not know.

I used to continuously cry till the end of night,
afraid, fearful and inert.
I observed and looked at the sunrise,
but I did not realise whose mercy that was.

During mid-noon,
under the heat of the sun,
at the angry expression of frightfully burning flames,
and looking for protection,

I observed and knew
but did not perform sadhana, the endeavour to attain You.

In the red sky of the evening sun,
I go on struggling with hopes and despairs.
I express my salutations,
without inhibition,
and do not expect anything other than Your grace.

The golden lotus bloomed in my mental pond this morning.

Only in the mind can this be seen
and only in the mind does honey percolate.

After undergoing much pain,
my long held hope was fulfilled
and restless love awakened around Him.
I looked at the light emanating from the gem lamp,
suspecting You might be hiding there,
softly placing my hands over my eyes,
illuminating the deep recess of my mind.

Does no one know this?

You filled the world with the feeling of love.
Doesn’t anyone realise this?

The Krsna of Vraja remains in Vraja only.
You created Vraja in Your mental world.
Due to the filled up Yamuna river overflowing,
no one could see this.

That Yamuna river today has dried.
People forget about You.
But my burnt heart, remembering You,
secludedly plays the viina.

If by mistake You should come,
nothing would be lost or gained.

Decorating the altar with the beauty of light,
I ceaselessly sing songs.
I create them with Your ideation,
with Your melody,
with Your language.

In my mind there are numerous hopes, desires and love.
Amongst all these,

whether You would grant me something or not,
I do not know.

How many nights have turned into mornings?

without announcement,
You came into my mind.
You came in a new and enchanting outfit
but I could recognise You.

My former path, full of thorns,

With stones hurting me each moment,
I have been searching peace in vain.

while You shall shine with light in Your hand.
And that is why I sing the song of love to You.

You came to my home.

There was rhythm in mind and bliss in meditation
when You applied ointment to my eyes.

Placing Your hand on my head, You spoke
and in a moment, removed all my agonies.
You told,
“Have nothing to fear,
even should storms and typhoons come.

Rise and fall and awakening appear on the path of movement.
They are negligible.

Keeping the goal in front of you,
move on firmly.
Human victory is a sure guarantee.”

You came today,
to pour sweetness into this dusty earth.

You came to provide nectar and consolation
to those who had been crying continuously.
You came to give speech to the dumb.

You broke the dark imprisonment
of those who were lagging behind
and downtrodden,
had lost everything in their life.

You pulled everyone towards You
and made us forget all differences.
Those who had been frustrated
and had sunken into darkness
accepted You with smiles of happiness.

A whole generation attained light,
in the joyful forward movement of the moment.

Bathing me in the fountain of effulgence, You came.

Removing the crown from my head,
You blessed me with pious water.

Eliminating the distinction between myself and others,
You showed me a new life.

You made me become acquainted with plants, animals and birds,
and taught me to consider all as my own.

Nobody is distant.
All are one’s own.
The entire world is for all.
It is useless to measure in terms of oneself and others,
for the world moves on, carrying all.

In the blue sea, a golden lotus blooms.
Nobody knows why.
No, no, no! It indeed blooms in my own mind.

It starts swinging,
raising feelings
and secretly making me understand its (my/their) agony.

The honeybee comes buzzing,
thirsty,
with the hope of honey.
All the affection stored in the pollen
has been poured into (their) heart(s).

The language of the mind’s soliloquy
is known to Him only.
My mental peacock stays at a distance,
and observes (them) dancing in seclusion / a secluded dance.
With deep exhalation,

the upsurge of emotions rises from afar.

I sat in expectation of You,
but You did not come.
Not a word of Yours could be heard.

The decoration of mango leaves on the water pot altar was useless
and useless was my threading of all floral garlands meant for offering.

The birds rush towards home in the evening light.
The night lily looking at the moon in the evening twilight starts blooming.
During this evening of mine, understand my mental agony.

The sun covered with darkness is not present in the eastern horizon.
The crimson ray of dawn never forgets anything.

Whenever You hear me, do understand my restlessness.

You came showering sweetness
and bringing heavenly bliss.

You filled my darkness-enveloped mind with goodness,
blowing into it the wind of consciousness.

Who can explain Your qualities?
With Your beauty and colour, all minds are filled.
Your love cures all ailments
and carries sweetest music.

O great ocean,
no river banks contain You.
We are all only bubbles in Your thought waves.
In a loving song,
with rhythm and sweet vibrations,
You make all dance.

Don’t You know this?

I meditate and concentrate on You in solitude.
Don’t You realise this?

You are the crown jewel of everyone's life.
In this dark world, You are the dazzling diamond.
All the time I hear tales of Your glory.
Don’t You hear them too?

During storms and lightning
You are with me.
Your thunderbolt is my friend.
Don’t You agree with this?

You are the Cosmic effulgence,
and I am but the glow of a firefly.

What can I tell about my meagre endeavour before You?
You are the Brahma Kamal, the divine lotus,

and I am just a dirty blade of grass.
How may I get coloured by Your colour? Tell me.

Come into my mind and love.
Softly smile in the garden of kadamba.
Forgetting my shortcomings,
I float in the water of thoughts,
in diverse colours, at the shore of life.

You remain hidden,
without ever even opening Your eyes.
Despite my hundreds of calls,
You do not respond.
With tears in my eyes,
I drift away without shore in sight.
Yet on keen observation,
I see You sitting on the mountain top.

Looking at everyone with love,
crossing darkness,
You brought illumination.

With a smiling face, through rhythms and songs,
You fight obstacles and provide love.

Everyone is Your very close and intimate relation.
No one is alien to You.
Everyone is dearest to You.
Everyone is the gem of Your eyes.
You think and care for one and all.
Taking everyone along,
You move forward on Your divine path.

After countless dark nights of penances,
suppressed and untold agonies,
You filled everyone with ideation.
You lifted on Your lap those who lay submerged in dust and mud.

You came amidst stormy and cyclonic winds
while I was asleep.

With rhythm and melody,
You flashed on the mirror of my mind.
I woke up and opened my eyes.

I forgot everything of my past
and looked at the new dawn.
All past events, all painful memories, everything,
I let go.

In slow steps You came near me and talked.
You entered deep into the dense corner of my mind.
In sweet contemplation and to the flow of Your effulgent consciousness,
I set myself adrift.

my days are passing.

Sometimes You are like the dance of the dawn.
On the golden beach, Your light shines.

Come, I want You still closer,
O my Lord.
You are the aggregate of all expressions.
You are the essence of all essences in all situations.
You are the smiling lotus in the heaven of mind.

I admit that I may be full of mistakes,
lacking sadhana, spiritual endeavor.
There is no firm will, full of truth in me.
Still, You are not inhibited to come closer.
You are the crimson glow at the shore of my life.

He did not come even today.
Has He therefore forgotten me?

Tears flow from my eyes in hundredfolds.
Has He not understood my feelings?

Rain is pouring down.
My mental peacock does not dance in search of You.
The amount of clouds You make appear seems unlimited.
Who shall decorate me with love-filled nectar?

There is no hope in the darkness of clouds,
no shine of smile, no language.
I beg for Your affection, rhythm,
and a song’s tune.
Come into the deep recess of my mind.
Come with the festivity of vitality.

On this voyage on the path of effulgence,
O Lord,
stay with me.

While moving on,
if I pause,
do not leave me alone.

You have remained with me from time immemorial,
colouring me with Your colour.
During this adverse period of time surrounding me,
do not forget this reality.

You are also present at the end of the path.
You attract as per Your own wish and thinking.
At the end of the boundary of my own “I” feeling,
at the edge, You provide honey.

What matter did the honeybee from the world of songs,
whisper into my ears?

With each song of spring,
it brought mental honey.

Nobody obstructed it,
neither was there any shyness.
To my mental garden,
it secretly arrived.

When the bee went away,
then the feeling of absence appeared.
In the empty forest with a wet face,
I cried in meditation.

For You, my whole life,
how many songs have I been singing,
O beloved?

I used to find lyrics,
without having melody and tune.
Whenever I found them,
the song did not sound nice.

So many songs have I sung in the mornings,
removing the darkness-filled web of inertia,
decorating my mental arena with morning flowers,
and establishing You, O most revered!

By the wee bit of the flow of Your mercy,
I continued singing many songs,
mixing in them endeavour and vitality,
for which only You provided consciousness.

Keep floating in the mental sphere and look happy.
And take my mind along with You.

and placed onto Your lap exploited human beings.

Unseen by the intellect,
by the auspicious will of intuition,
You poured love.

O Lord,
how unintelligible is Your mercy!
You perform the extremely difficult sadhana (endeavour) of unification of many,
fulfilling their hope and aspiration.

All expectantly stare at You with non-blinking eyes,
Human beings, birds and animals count every moment.
You silently move forward carrying love.

From within the gem lamp,
You keep pouring effulgence.

To the brightness of Your ideation,

You penetrate everything, tearing apart pride.

When I saw You during the festivity of life,
You were smiling in the flow of effulgence.

You were slowly floating in the beauty
of the blooming floral garden,
in the arbor of malati flowers.

You came onto this moving and restless earth
with the sound of ankle bells.
You heard its cries,
and into that resonance,
by radiating sweetness,
You brought life to inert beings.

There is no counting of days for You,
no limitation of time.
I cannot estimate the number of Your expressions.
With a sweet smile,
You bring welfare and benevolence to the mind.
O what astonishing divine game have You created!

The far-distant kanak campa flower overwhelmed my mind.

Amidst a smiling shine and the sweet breeze,
His song came floating.

There was a glow of joy on His cheeks,
in which only good
and no dullness was present.
He arrived on this fine morning without telling anyone,
forgetting all previous pain.

The flower untimely withered away without warning
and left unseen to an unknown world.
With a song full of rhythm and melody,
His new voyage started.

You came on this dark and rainy night,
amidst the fall of hailstone.

I am unable to understand why You came in such a form.
Was it to delude me?

I search intensely with logic and reasoning
when You shall do what, by creating Your illusive game.
But at the end, not finding anything,

I just wish to float in the stream of Your mercy.

For You, there is no beginning, middle or end.
There is no shore, no limit or end.
You are the quintessence
where all beginning and ending terminates,
when intellect and intuition stop.

That is why You do not allow Yourself to be caught.

Whatever little knowledge or intellect I have,
on that strength I try to attain you.
With my meagre knowledge,
with whatever I understand,
I cannot estimate You.

I lose myself when I search Your beginning
and my mind gets lost when I search the end point.
Whatever I see on this path of movement,
due to the flow of time, does not remain either.

You belong to those who have none.

You listen to those who sings their songs in solitude.

On the path of movement,
others join with their own ideas and at their own pace.
You provide speed and light to those

who move on Your path to attain You.

You are the master caretaker of the destitute.
You are the very life of the world.
Amongst all, small or big,
You are the greatest.
Your causeless attraction binds all.
By it, You uphold the earth.

O unknown traveler,
are You still unknown?

In contemplation, non-contemplation and feelings,
You float in my mental mirror.

I accept that You came from beginninglessness.
I also know that You shall leave far off.
Yet, in the present, during the morning sun,
You dance in my mental heaven of smiling flowers.

O glowing gem of my mind,
You float throughout my mind.
You smile pleasingly in the world beyond my mind.
But I still hope with love for the great.
So do come into my consciousness.

The boat carrying my songs
sails along the streams of melodies,
in the vast ocean of appearances.

It does not heed to any forbidding.

It does not stop for fear of anyone.
Propelled by the wind of my inner self,
it moves forward day and night onto the distant void
sailing past the vast ocean of vices and obstructions.

Pulled by the divine love and attraction of the unknown traveler,
it moves and continues to move,

carrying the songs of humans, birds and animals
and the eternal message of hope.

Your glories reflect in my mind.

Each moment,
hearing Your all-encompassing call,
many come and go.

O Virata, the Great one,
You are present in each atom.
O self-pervading one,
You exist in each particle.
On the path of Your movement,
from the unknown beginningless,
You move towards an unknown destination.

I know that You existed in the past,
that You are present now
and that You shall remain in the future.
I accept You as eternal entity.
Atoms and molecules come and go
and get dissolved in You,
in the depth of Your mind,
O Eternal Singular Entity.

Through which unknown origin did You come that night
with light in Your hand to break my slumber?

That night, the hundred-petalled lotus of development was covered with darkness.

My history had been created with tearful agony.
The sandal breeze had been crying with the restless agony of non-attainment.

Much beauty had disappeared, floating away into darkness.
Many moonlit smiles too had faded into darkness.

The songs that You sung to the universe,
O Lord,
in them You are merged.

Emerging from the heart,
they keep floating in the blue sky.

Atoms, molecules and stars,
millions of nebulae -
all dance with utter joy.
With the rhythm of Your songs,
from within the inner core of all,
love overwhelmingly shines.

Your garland of songs
comprises all animate and inanimate beings,
and vibrates and oscillates the heaven of mind.
I wonder what this joyful essence of the festivity of light
wishes to convey.

The oceans, the mountains, the sky and the sea worship You.
The sunflower, with her face facing upwards, says,
”shine from within my core!”

On this colourful day of spring,
You secretly came spreading Your feet.
With the flow of water and the beauty of colours,
You destroy inertia.

Your secret story of the restlessness of feelings,
today convey it to me through the songs of the rain.

Whatever lay suppressed in the mind,
that which was not spoken due to ego,
express it to the world with tune and melody.

That which was bewildering to the mind,
that which brought sweetness to the mind,
let it erupt by making it audible.

Do not stay far away in heaven.
Come with every longing.
Come by the pull of affection.

I remain in darkness during spring
and continue to cry.

I search peace in the ocean of time.
I search illumination in the darkness.
I beg for love in the desert and the sea.
Yet, I do not see what I want.

In this divine game,
without beginning or end,
why am I ignored?
In the game of duality,
in the house of thoughts,
it is hard to hide.

It is impossible to forget You even by mistake.
Hiding in my own mind,
You generate frenzy within.

Your loving flute saddens me.
Even though I do not see You,  I become emotionally overwhelmed.

Many times I thought that I should forget You,
that I should not remember You anymore,
that I should wipe You from my mind,
but I was unable to do so.
What an enchanting game of Yours this is!
For what was it You secretly did?
You did not abandon me.

On a moonlit night,
in my mental lane,
I whisper songs.

This song has not been loaded with pain,
but is filled with tune and melody.

This song of mine is for You.
It is not to get lost in the darkness.
It remains in the recess of my mind,
in my colourful floral arbor.

This song of mine flows on the sands of the golden beach.
Forgetting the difference between myself and others,
it floats along the tides, it floats far away.

How many springs passed untimely?
How many shefali flowers dropped as bud only?
You continued observing all this.

How many dreams were broken by thunder?
Injury was inflicted by taunt, sarcasm and irony.

Pouring into my mind all the sweetness of the world,
You filled my life with affectionate love.

The pain of non-attainment that was present in my life,
was removed by the joy of ideating on You.

You came by Yourself and pulled me close,
blooming the flower of hope to display its petals.

During spring, You charmed my mind with the fragrance of the madhavi flower.
Multiple times, You immersed me deep in Your songs.
You made me know all,

colouring me with Your colour,
in the calm breeze of eternal peace.

Why did You show Yourself,
if You do not speak to me?
Why didn’t You remain hidden?

I had been sitting, expecting and hoping for You.
Your arrival only increased my disappointment.

How much expectation had accumulated!
How many selfish desires remained unfulfilled in the casket of my mind!
Yet, You just showed glimpses of Yourself and went away.

My threaded floral garland withered away.
The well-practiced song for You became lost in oblivion.
Without listening to the feelings of my heart,

You went away, hiding beyond the scope of my mind.

What are human beings to gain
by dividing humanity into different groups?

Whatever is today shall never remain forever
to pollute the earth’s pure air.

The sun is never divided.
The beauty of dawn remains the same.
By remaining divided and splitting atoms (the atomic bomb),
humanity sows the seed of destruction.

When the ocean of fire rushes with annihilating speed,
burning garlands of flowers and bouquets of love,

that high rising structure becomes a heap of ashes.

You came without informing anyone
and left without telling anyone either,
all this taking place as per Your illusive play.

It happened at the gap of time,
between the sun’s heat and the snow of winter.

Your sweetness overflows with joy
in the moonlit night and in the water of the sea.
Your will secures the flow of love on earth.

O embodiment of illusion,
how much delusion and sleight do You know,
keeping Your consciousness hidden?
You are everyone’s own,
the essence of compassion,
and the world’s most beloved.

You came into my mind this morning,
adorned with effulgence.

Singing an unsung song,
You crushed the mountain of obstruction.

I mentally desired to secretly attain You,
so that only You and me would solitarily remain under the tree.

It happened exactly the way I had hoped it would.
I attained You in my sweet garden.
In the arbor of my garden, sweetly looking at me,
You showered love.
You told me You would come
whenever I called You wholeheartedly.

O Lord,
how vast You are,
I am unable to estimate.

You come near, but then You move away.
This illusive game of Yours,
I am unable to understand.

I try to hold You.
I discuss philosophies and scriptures,
I practice meditation with sincere efforts.

My whole life I kept calling You,
with hope after hope.
O embodiment of the divine game,
eternal consciousness,
I merely seek Your mercy.

There is no one else for me.

You are the nucleus of my mental flower,
the essence of the essence of my heart.

You are present at the time of the rising sun.
You peep out, hiding in the evening star.
You provide the fragrance of love to life.
You remove one’s load of pain.

You were present in the initial stride.
You are present now, pervading the entire world.
During my ending days,
catch my hand and continue holding me.

Sometimes You make me cry
and sometimes You make me smile.
I am unable to understand what You want.

Sometimes You look at me
and sometimes, You ignore me.
Thinking of Your illusive play,
I become speechless.

You bring the soft bela flower during sunshine,
the moistened yuthika flower with the rain,
the smiling shefali flower in the pre-winter evening.
What for? I do not find an answer.

The dull post winter beauty,
the piercing and shivering cold during winter,
the floral beauty of spring,
through all these, what do You wish to express?
I wonder.

As holy stream of effulgence,
with gestures and dance,
You came into my dream.

You came with the supra-mundane rhythmic sound of ankle-bells.

Whatever was dirty,
darkness driven,
You removed it all
and filled my mind with sweet resonance.

Always come this way,
diminishing my dirt.
Across the horizon,
the blue lotus shines,
colouring the life of this microcosm.

For You, I cry and smile.
Yet, it is as though You do not hear me.

Days after days pass.
Many nights have gone by.
Many stars wither away in the distance.

and float in an endless stream.
I am the dust of Your feet.

Having wandered a lot for You,
I finally decided not to move any more.

I had expected that at the shore of the mental Yamuna river,
You would appear this time.

Moving on the path in the stream of ideation,
I shall continue to remain intoxicated for You.
I shall stay at Your red feet.
I shall not move.

I followed vows and observed holy days.
I performed much pilgrimage and had holy visions,
I brought distinction among humanity.
Expecting essence, I continued searching non-essence.

He was the gem of my eyes,
gold-flowing like the morning illumination,
showering feelings of immeasurable love.

Should anyone come near Him,
do tell Him about me.

Through the gaps of the white pre-winter clouds,
my pain ever oozes out.
I have not forgotten Him.
It is impossible to forget Him.
Even today He fills in my heart.

He has always vibrated the depth of my mind.
Searching Him, the flow of heavenly nectar is found.
I have not lost hope. I shall not become broken hearted.
In the illumination of meditation, He shall appear.

You reside in the depth of my heart,
in the tears of my eyes,
in the blueness of the sky.

Unobserved by minds,
You are in the soft breeze that floats throughout the world.

I do not arrive at any shore,
however far I may float,
as I continue drifting on a shoreless ocean.
In the whole world,
there is only one singular entity.
There is no end to not knowing.
There is no end of Him.
There is no end to thus ideating on Him.

You are all-pervading.
From the blade of grass to that which is greatest,
no place is left out.
If due to fear, I might escape and attempt to hide, running away,
I won’t find anywhere to go.

You remain everywhere.
You float in the pupil of my eyes.
You were in the past,
You are present now and,
O Lord,
You shall ever remain.

Will He not return?
Has he forgotten me once and for all?
With hope I await His return.

At that time,
under the deep blue sky,
with the smile of the moon,
when the moonlight was shining on the earth,
as I was sitting in a corner of the house,
alone and unmindful,
You came close.

You came listening to my call,
after making me wait for so long.
I could not imagine,
I did not anticipate,
even in dream,
that this would happen.
I never told anyone,
not even whispering.
Instead, I used to discuss and cite philosophies and scriptures.

You have remained, pervading the world.
You were in everyone’s past.
You are within and beyond time.
You watch over everyone with soft and moist love.
Your overwhelming heart extends to all.
Nothing and nobody is hidden from You.
You ever observe all.

come near,
sit for a moment in my home.

I have always loved You,
thinking that You too do love me.

The days come and go thinking of You.
The nights make me quiver as I become aware of Your love.
O endless point in the ocean of compassion,

let Your eyes smile and laugh softly.

You are unseen without a mark,
O Lord.
You never disappoint.
I have no prayer.
I only want You.
Come closer and mix with my mind.

What want would a person have,
for whom You care?
From within the bouquet of lily flowers
You softly smile into one’s mind.

Do grant supreme devotion,

When first I saw You,
in the distant past -
no history of it exists,
nor any memory.

The earth did not exist,
even planets and stars had not been formed.

There was no flower full of fragrance to pour love.
There was no impulse of life,

or momentum of consciousness.
There was no flow or stream to join.

You were located in an abstract realm,
and I was located within it.
There was no duality or singularness of knotty logic.

On the assemblage of flowers on this golden morning,
what colour did You spread?

It seems to my mind as though it recognises You.
Pratyabhigya, perfect profound knowledge, may be the word for it.

The markings by the painting brush appear recognisable.
The style of script appears known.

My mind does not heed looking for You.
You keep pouring love.

What illusive play of atoms and molecules!
What colourful game of variegated movement!
You never neglect anyone.
You attract all onto Your lap.

come!
The little khanjarii bird,
keeps calling You.

Come with the breeze from tender leaves,
and with a tinkling, create warmth in my mind.

Winter is about to end and liveliness emerges.
The emigrated guest birds return,
flying to their own countries.
Why are You still away?
Come close quickly.
Come into everyone’s inner and outer lives.

The cuckoo has started singing, and is chirping alongside other birds.
My mental peacock dances, letting lose all its feelings.
The tray and the garland of flowers are ready for You,
O beloved.

in the illuminated sky,
the fairy now has come here.

Many wanted to keep Him held carefully in the casket of their minds.

The brilliant moon brought a colourful morning.
You tied all by the loving thread of consciousness.
The glory of Your attributes and Your sweet humanity,
remains in my memory even today.

I pray to You again and again to come here.
Granting liberty to humanism, destroy all darkness.
I keep thinking about You

and do not find an end to it.
You smile remains in my mental sky.

You loved and went away,
leaving me alone on a solitary path.

In the dark night You charmed the pupil of my eyes.

You came on Your own and took my mind with You.
Without desiring anything,
but taking my all,
You hid away in some unknown sphere.

Today I am devoid of everything.
O King,
You have taken my all.
During my isolated movement on this path,
provide strength to my feet,
and stay with me.

The sandal breeze came
and whispered into my ears,
that You would arrive today.

The sky was to remain blue,
the whole world illuminated,
nature to dress with floral adornment.

Nobody shall be in pain.
Faces shall be joyful.
With the light of hope,
everyone’s heart shall be filled.
Amidst all, smiling with sweet charm,
the cowherd King shall play the flute.

To welcome to Him, all are ready.
There are decorations of fresh mango leaves on the door of the mind
and the beguiling flute is blown continuously.

You came with compassion and a heart filled with love.
We shall continue to perform Your work.

On this path of effulgence,
stay with me,
O beloved Lord.

Move with me,
communicate with me
and colour me in Your colour.

Where was I?
Where did I come from?
When did I come to the path?
Who has brought me here, holding my hand?
Tell me all about it.

I am never alone.
You are always with all,
O Lord.
In dark nights and also during stormy winds
continue singing the song of victory.

You came during spring
but forgot me.
What was my mistake?

Even today, the beauty of spring persists,
in the assemblage of tender leaves and flowers.

The flowers were joyful
and smiled in the blue sky.
They knew the aggregate of love and consciousness.

Even today, the flowers remain decorated in the blue sky.
They cry and say:

“Will not that beloved one come again? ”

All are awake,

You came and opened eyes,
vibrating the core of everyone’s heart.

Your movement is beyond the mind,
containing momentum and impulse.
You pour forth ever-new colours,
playing on the instruments of love.

Dancing and charming my mind,
O my Gopal,
do come onto my lap.

I brought butter,
also rice cooked in milk.
That, I would like to feed You.

The dust that has assembled on Your body,
I shall wipe off.
The hair on Your head is loosened.
I shall tie it.
I shall not keep You outside,
but rather deep within my mind.

Remain in my mind with charming adornment,
on the well-decorated and gem-studded seat.
But, alas, You are not seen,
due to being covered by darkness.
By Your coming, that darkness shall be removed.

By constantly thinking of whom
does my mind become restless?
My eyes are unable to find Him.
What a hard stone this is!
The river Yamuna of affection flows in the high tide.
At what time shall He come?

The earth was moving in its own flow
while I carried Your ideation.

There was no second entity to talk to.
Both You and I were in the mental sphere
and my mind had no object.

I am the viina, and You are the player.
This fact I understood that day.
By Your touch,
my strings would resonate in Your rhythm and melody.

On this rainy night,
in the stormy wind,
whose song comes floating at such untimely hour?

Who is that without a physical body,
who remembers me and remains close,
without introducing Himself?

When called, He never responds.
But without call, He comes into the heart.
Your play is sweet and enchanting.
Your fair is full of beauty and taste.
You make everything become nectar-like.

O merciless one,
I recognise You.
You imbibe all wisdom,
and possess all attributes.
There exists no other than You.
All can take You with them,
in exchange of offering to You their whole existence.

Through the lane decorated with the floral garlands of spring,
who has come with tinkling ankle bells?

I do not recognise Him.
I have never seen Him.

In the courtyard of formlessness,
He scatters Himself as the charming illusive panorama,
without deceit and unperturbedly.

In the water of the stream,
in the motion of drops,
in the temple of ideation,
in colour of the tender leaves -
You are present pervading all.
You are present wherever the mind observes and searches.

So much I kept thinking!
There is no estimate of it.
In all directions and subdirections,
I find the same charming entity.
On mountaintops
and in the depths of oceans,
His glory emanates
that all may remember Him.

I have seen and loved Him in dream.
But when there was a face-to-face meeting
I was in deep slumber.

By the fragrance of sandalwood,
with an undisturbed mind,
I could understand,
that You had visited my home.

You are nearest to myself.
You are the witness of microcosms
and the aggregate of all attributes.
You are with me in pain and pleasure,
pouring out love as effulgence.

Before You, desire and dislike have equal value.
Purpose and preparation,
You lay out in the same orderly manner.
You grant crowning glory to the cursed
and prestige to the dishonoured.
What You do is beyond thought.

They were washed with the tears from tortures.

Who gave you such agony? Tell me.

Why did He make you cry?
Tell me where is He?

But why does He smile so sweetly,

You remain hidden during creation,

who does the smiling shefali flower seek by its fragrance?

With the white clouds and the soft breeze,
it wants to break all limitations.

There is no one to obstruct it.
Each moment is a collection of joy.
At the end of the world,
at the boundary of heaven,
it swings into heavenly oscillations.

The mind wants to forget multiplicities.
With one sincere longing, life is filled.
Located within many, is the immeasurable one,
illuminating all by His vibration.

My Gopal is lost,
and in my mental Vrindavan, I cry.

Even though I call and call,
I do not get Him.
Still, I maintain hope in my heart.

I did not listen to Him,
and thus I created only mental agony.
I never threaded the garland coloured with love
to place around Him.

He likes simplicity,
whereas I had crookedness.
I always wanted to find Him
through crooked means.
My only hope is that if I attain Him,
I will be excused in the end.

You provided me with food, housing,
shelter from cold and eternal company.
You gave me parents’ fondness,
and an affection-filled home.
You filled sweetness into everything You gave me.

There is nothing in the world that I want.
You provide everything in all seasons.
You are with me in all pains and pleasures.
Still, I beg for Your mercy,

O beloved.
Now come into my mental garden and accept my love.

On each bud of the bakul tree’s branches,
You poured soft fragrance.
On each tree,
new and tender leaves have appeared.
With the sandal breeze,
new buds have come.
Fill them with the beauty of Your song.

With rhythm, tune and melody
the cuckoos and peacocks sing.
The sweetness of Your mind merges with their tunes.
Bending the strings of Your viina,

Your song keeps floating,
pulling all close to You.

On this ceaselessly rainy night,
my mind longs for You.

The fragrant pollen of the ketaki flower emanates from its petals.

The toads croak vibrantly.
The meteorite’s trailing mark flashes in the dark.
The nearby bamboo grove is filled with the gentle rattle of tall grass.
The arbor of niipa flowers quivers by the resonance of the cosmic sound.

Carrying the bouquet of the buds of benevolence and welfare in hand,
You came dancing,

to remove the darkness of mud and sin
from the heavenly song of the sweet nectar of love.

You are my Lord in life and death.
You remain with me day and night.

You are present when stormy gales strike.
But You also dance in the sweet sandal breeze.
You create rhythms and tunes
amidst annihilating storms, in fire and wind,
at every moment.

Your divine game is without beginning or end.
Your play consists of creation and destruction.
Taking the chilling cold of winter and the burning sun of summer,
amidst opposites,

You mentally smile.

You reside in the temple of my ideation,
O beloved.

You reside in my mind with innumerable adornments,
O revered Lord.

Although You are formless,
You also exist in each and every form.
You are present in unexpressed consciousness,
in fragrance and incense,
in the fog of winter
and in the niipa flower during the rainy season,
O most revered Lord.

You are present in hearing, mental activity and concentration,
in breath control, the withdrawal of the mind and in meditative posture.
You exist everywhere in the vessel of my mental casket,
O incomparable one.

If You won’t come into my eyes,
silently come into my mind.

Moving on the path of life,
I survive with hope.

The flowers of my floral garden are no more.
Now only thorns remain.
Those thorns hurt and prickle as ebb flow
(when the water recedes and leaves the beach to dry).
Thinking of this compassionlessness,

I lose my patience and become unsettled.

But even now there is time,
on this night of spring, filled with the sandal breeze.
Stay with me for a moment,

under the soft full-moon light.

Why did You come
and why did You go,
without telling anything?

I keep counting time, hoping for Your arrival,
with tearful, agonised eyes.

The sun rises in the morning,
and pours the flow of light into life.
Yet, darkness silently lingers on in the deep recess of my mind.

The sun sets.
The evening colour glows.
The mirage-like moonlit night surrounds everywhere.
Yet, as the night deepens, my darkness intensifies.

When You appeared in the recess of my mind,
You were unknown and unrecognised,
and You became close.

You remain in ideation,
and apply colour to the concentration of the mind.
At the same time You are restless,
working within the web of the illusive maya.

You are present in every eye
and enter into one’s mind as form.
Listening and concentrating,
You created the illusive play.

I continue singing my song to You
but I do not know whether You hear it or not.

I keep perfecting the tune, full of feelings,
without any consideration of the language.

The earth goes round tied with the knot of love,
with tune, melody and rhythm,
in a sound that is difficult to understand.
That sound emanates from the strings of Your viina,
which, other than You, no one understands.

In the resonating base of the octave,
the melody that was churned with dance and rhythm,
arises in my mental viina as resonance,
this, O beloved,
You do not see.

Today, in the southern breeze,
the papia bird sings with a restless heart.

I have remained awake age after age with intoxicating love.
My mind welcomes You with the fragrance of flowers.

It cannot bear the pangs of hide and seek any more.
That game has already taken place too often.

I know that You are the essence of all essences.
And You know that it is not possible to remain away from me anymore.

Day and night the wheels of Your chariot rhythmically advance,
discarding darkness as Your chariot moves ahead amidst splendid arrangements.

No one lags behind.
Even the helpless and distressed move ahead.
You lift up those who are unable to rise by themselves.

The pilgrims on the path of light are all related to one another.
Breaking the iron prison of mind, they find their permanent shelter in You.

Tell me once that I belong to You.

Searching You and thinking of You,
I became entranced many a time.

Yet, when the world’s attractions call me,
I become restless.
I lose directions and I lose my mind.
But being the polestar,
You appear before me again and again.

The sun is in the west, time passes.
Do not maintain delusion, creating a game of dust.
This time,
O beloved,
stop this illusive game of Yours with me for a moment.

Why have You kindled light today,
when the world is full of moonlight?

The smile of the moon appears joyful
and a flute is played that emanates nectar.

The flower does not approach anyone.
All dance around it.
When looking at Him,
the reply is simply: “come and attain me”.

There is no comparison to this spring.
The sky and hell are interwoven in dream.
To please One, many have awoken,
generating an overwhelming flow of love.

In the arbor of niipa flowers,
and in the bamboo grove,
at whose invocation does the peacock call?

Whose love has instantly given hope and ornaments of joy?

Darkness appears in the northeast.
The bright moon smiles in the southwest.
With the hope of holding Him close,
the peacock dances and quivers.

Who is that smiling and unrecognised guest,
coming and going within moments,
without considering time?
He ever sings a nectar-filled song,
with forever unknown feelings.

At the base of this blooming kadamba tree,
I sat with tearful eyes.

I sat all by myself with only the toads by my side.

The clouds call and make the peacocks dance.
Glimpses appear in my dream-engrossed mind.
Due to whose affection and unknown love,
does my pessimistic heart start bouncing?

The pollen of the ketaki flower float in the air.
The fragrance of the juhi flower smiles in the fresh water.
By the power of whose mantra,

were the closed doors in me opened?

There are so many spheres.

Flowers come with pollen.
On the solitary forest path one finds bamboo groves.
The wheels of chariots spin with sound.

Nobody anywhere is mine.
This is what I have been thinking in the depth of my mind.
You are present individually and collectively with pure love,
coating all with sweet and charming feelings.

The tender leaf found an abode.
My mind is coloured and forgets all its works.

The bulbul bird sings, perched on the branch of a tree.
The mango buds smile in the fragrance that they diffuse.
In a new decoration, the red beauty of kinshuk flowers shines in the sky.

The distressed bakul flowers have dropped onto the ground.
The silk cotton tree is defiant.

The trumpet flower, parul, looks overhead, shaking its golden crown.

Why do spring and the sandal breeze come?
Although I know, I do not understand.

Today, alas, amidst the spring breeze,
my mind does not know who it wants.

The cuckoo’s cooing sound invites all,
saying: “Come and sit close.
Such a day does not come often.”

The world is a panorama of colours,
an illusory game of forms by the formless.
It only provides.
It does not want anything.
Spring has therefore no obligation.

In the dreamy moonlight,
the earth floats with impulse.

My mental mirror is filled with vitality,
and dances to some unknown delusion.

O my most beloved,
You are deep beyond estimate.
You are my innermost.
You are sweetest amongst all sweetness.
You charm by the tinkling of musical scales.

Come without informing me.
I am unable to obstruct You.
Come announcing Yourself.
I cannot bring You by myself.
I look for You,
the mental rosary swivelling before my eyes.

If You do not cast Your eyes on me,
at least please come into my mind,
O my beloved.

I threaded my garland with so much care.
Now, all its flowers have fallen off
and only the thread remains.

Why do You divert my mind by entertaining false hopes?
Whatever I do each and every day,

in new and newer styles, are all Your actions.
I have realised,
O ever new one,
that You want to engage me in Your divine game.

I know that during thunderbolts and hailstorms
You are always with me.
When meteors and thunder strike,
by subjecting me to pain and affliction,
You bring me back to my senses.

In what imaginary sphere are You today,
on this full moon of spring?

Carrying a heavenly message,
You came in the bright and white moonlight.

Today, my outside and inside have become one.
There is no difference between dream and reality.
My mental swan flies from country to country.
It makes its home at various places in the distant sky.

Within thoughtlessness, feelings arise and peep through.
In my silent speech, there is no gap.

Attuning one’s ears, all listen to that inner call,
the call that sings the song of unlimitedness within limits.

He who has smilingly given everything,
is taking away the mind.

He does not want anything.
Everything belongs to Him.
He provides everything.

Beyond desire and non-expectance,
His seat is located at the top-most level.
His effulgence scatters love.
It is difficult to remain without Him.

Beyond light and shade,
beyond colour,
and having a singular base,
He is known as Citi Shakti, the cognitive force.
The whole world sings His praise.

He came, decorated with light,
and removed darkness.

After instantly removing fog and the dark curtain,
He went far away.

That darkness had been intense,
the darkness of inertia in the mental sphere.
When my beloved came,
within moments,
effulgence started dancing.

How many seasons, days and months have passed!
How much rain has fallen so profusely!
How many floral garlands have dropped in the mud!
Yet, His bright effulgence remains.

I longed for You in my mind during pain and pleasure.

You made Yourself be seen
in the new adornments of beautiful flowers.

There is no comparison to Your attributes.
You express Yourself in a variety of dances and rhythms.
That which is unexpressed is unknown.

Therefore there is desperate begging for Your grace.

You exist in all spheres,
expressed and unexpressed,
in light and shade.
You bring tears and smiles within moments.
Sometimes You are far and sometimes You are near.

Before seeing You, I wish to express my welcome.
Do accept my salutation before coming.

All flowers want You
with sweetness and the dance of their petals.
Thinking of You,
they have forgotten all pains and pleasures,
O revered one.

The morning bird started calling.
It rehearsed the tune,
and stayed awake the whole night.
Now no more love song is left to be sung.
With crimson colour, do colour my mind.

With the essence of hope,
I forget the burning heat.

In whatever direction I see,
I do not find anything other than You.
But due to agony,
I am unable to hold You.
In the whole of my blue sky,
I feel the flow of Your love.

O beloved,
You are seated on the golden peak
whereas I lie in a deep recess.
Illuminated by Your effulgence,
I frenzy for You.

who is beyond comprehension of all intellect.

Your flute plays from within my core.

nobody is ever alone.
You are with all individually and collectively,
while Your love rhythmically dances.

eagely await this act of compassion.

After a long time,

The black owl used to smile sarcastically.
O beloved,
come kindling light
and take me along the path of intuitive knowledge.

You are the moonlight’s one and only full moon.
All other lights are merely the twinkling of stars.
There is an exchange of light between the moon and the firefly,
taking place with the sweet hands of bright love.

Where does the mental bee fly to?
Unto whom does it fly, heading towards the far distance?

The flower’s honey provides only momentary pleasure.
Yet, desiring this honey,

the mind is pulled to the garden again and again.
The bee knows that it longs for permanent happiness.
Hence it rushes towards the blue sky.

Permanent honey is only with Purus’ottama, the Cosmic Nucleus.
Hence, the whole world,

as one mind, dances around Him.
Understanding this fact and in search of Him,
the bee flies off, spreading its wings.

Into the illusive garden of my mind,
who are You who came?

Looking at You, it seems to me as though I recognise You,
even if You did not introduce Yourself.

In my mental garden,
a lot of weeds had accumulated.
There were mountains of thorns,
and there was no fresh breeze.
There was only muffled air and the desire for matter.
You removed it all and brought decorations.

The mind that was capable of passing through the heavenly garden,
and creating a golden bracelet,

had been covered by darkness.
Though full of dirt,
You placed it onto the chariot of effulgence.

You removed its bee wax crown.
Now my mental bee has lost its shyness

You came with a lamp in hand
and smiled in my mental mirror.

I was unconscious, in a dense and deep sleep.
You lifted me up.

I could not differentiate between what was good and bad.
All over my mind used to be black dirt.

I did not understand
what was real essence and what was waste.
Providing illumination,
You showed me what was what.

O diamond glow in the casket of my mind,
Your movements in individual and collective style are unobstructed.
Within each, You sing the song of consciousness,

and in that colour, You have coloured me.

This morning belongs to me.

I shall sing, paint
and make flowers bloom layer by layer.

Everything gets lost in the cascade of my mind.
On the tinkling string of a single viina
all merge into one.

O unknown traveller,
please listen to me!
You are the gem in my dark abode.
Pouring sweetness into rhythms and melodies,
I keep dancing around You.

Decorating her chignon with a garland of juhi flowers,
who is that beautiful one who came this evening?

She sits on a floral bed,
secludedly, engrossed,
her hair arranged beautifully.

For whom did she come,
in expectation of whose touch?
Who is that, floating in her eyes?
By what enchantment does she looks at the sky?
At whose impulse does she suddenly begin to dance?

She gradually becomes a paragon of beauty.
There is no time at all to sit idly by.
O beloved,
sent by You to earth,
what is it she wants each moment?
Do let me know.

Into my sweet mental garden,
He came.
I do not know why He smiled so lovingly.

The bud had not yet bloomed.
The sandal breeze had not yet arrived.
With a heavenly vibration,
He opened my eager eyes.

By the sound of His footsteps,
He made the flower bloom
and the sandal breeze come.

The torn and the old has gone.
The new has come.
The history of pain vanished into that which is colourful.
With series of beautiful glows,

He removed darkness, on the new year.

For You,
by the attraction of Your love,
I have come along the decorations of the new spring.

Decorating my inner voice
with sweetness and fragrance,
were flowers that I found blooming.

I poured out my everything.
Nothing else do I have left.
Please accept it with a smiling face.

Whose fragrance do buds carry in their thoughts?
With what expectation do they wait with honey in their pollen?
Who knows when Your footsteps shall become audible?
Who knows when Your image shall become visible?

If that beloved one won’t come,
why did I keep Him in my mind?
Why did I create a floral seat for Him?
I keep waiting, looking at the path of His arrival.

Placing the dew-dipped and fragrance-filled shefali flowers
on the boat of white clouds,

what use is there in calling Him during the winter?

Why did I nourish His sweet memory?
Why did I rehearse His love song?
Why did I pray to Him who has kept me alone?

O beloved Lord.

I sometimes cry in the agony of not attaining You
and sometimes I smile over my high and unrealistic ambition,
O my most dignified and benevolent Lord.

Fixing my eyes upon an upward sphere,
I look at the blue sky.
I call You with tearful eyes.
Respond to my call just once.

Black fog permeates the pores of my mind.
Come with charming adornment
and remove this darkness.

My tunelost monochord keeps rushing unto You.

With broken hope and unexpressed language
its only want is to attain You.

In a world above desire and achievement,
it kindles the lamp of ideation with joy.
Illuminated in essence by its mental rosary of gems,
it remains eternally engrossed in the absolute.

I have forgotten what I wanted and what I have obtained.
I know only this much: that there is no end to desires.
That nectar of bliss,

located inside the central decoration mark of my forehead,
I seek by my existential glow.

and how to hide in a moment
by the delusion of Your illusive game.

With the southern sandal breeze and amidst the greenness in the forest,
You play the flute from the root of the core of Your heart.

You are the shelter of all worlds,
unlimited and unfathomable.
You are the deity of all minds,
for all time to come.

All fear, shyness and dirt
is astonishingly removed by Your touch.
The sadhana, spiritual endeavour, for the supreme goal,
that most difficult projection,

You establish within a moment by virtue of mantra.

O ancient one in the festivity of the new,
so much newness came and went within You!
O eternally new one!

Many new stars appeared in space
and were seen as glimpses.
But like meteorites, they also vanished.
Their coming and going
has no record in history.

Waves after waves and mighty oceans,
that used to want to devour everything,
eventually also dissolved in You,

Coming close and smiling softly,
show Yourself wearing it with charming adornment.

That which I threaded in the morning,
I could not offer as present.
Only when the offering of the “self” is made,
the dancing is observed.

It is not possible to leave this thread of love.
It did not dry even till the morning.
I used to be engrossed in thinking of myself only.
I used to not listen to what I was told.

O Lord,
by Your grace shines with crimson light.

The night that had been covered with darkness
was instantly removed.

The exudation of love of an unknown essence of nectar,
the fragrance floating in the sandal breeze,

the pleasing bliss of consciousness,
all have left a beauty mark on my forehead.

The day comes and goes, along the wings of the swan.
Memories of the past keep calling.

Who would explain
the reality of attainment and non-attainment,
the vibrating grandeur of life?

With the moonlight the mental swan is forever filled.

You pervade each pore,
leaving out not a single one.

You have filled the heavenly shine with fragrance.

You remain hidden, unseen by the mind.
You think of that which I cannot think of.
You keep Yourself above and beyond time,

The bud told:
“Why doesn’t the honeybee ever come to me?

It flies through the floral garden,
but doesn’t look at me.

I remain constantly prepared, collecting mental honey.
I keep my head low for want of feelings.

Yet I never forget my most beloved.

Soft petals faint with shyness.
Tenderness blooms with the love of pollen.
I sing my song in the tune of love,
upholding the flag of consciousness.”

Decorated with much tenderness,
with new tender leaves and rings of flowers,
spring has come.
This I know.

It brought the message of life
along the tinkling of viina
and the dewdrops on grass.

Today, the inertia of winter has passed.
My mind has forgotten the shortages it had to endure.
The liveliness of love arose,

pulling close the mental core of all.

On hills where snow is melting,
the earth appears colourless.
Neither have leafs appeared yet.
The earth seems to cry.
Today, it calls the honeybee by songs,
with ever-skilled and ready hands.

Those who love You,
they only cry.
I don’t understand this system.

Amidst floods of tears,
I find You in my mind.
Is this love?

Life flows on through hundreds of hills,
in hundreds of streams.
Meteorites, thunders and mountains
do not obstruct its motion.
Except You, no one stands before it,
as only You provide its speed.

Pain and pleasure move unified.
In the mental casket, there is no distortion,
be there nebulae or particles of dust,
as multitudes of songs merge into one.

O unknown traveler,
in my mental mirror,
why won’t You appear?

The bud of hope is full of honeybees,
why won’t You quickly make it bloom?

This three-layered universe of Yours
is full of flowers and fruits.
The mind of each bud’s nucleus
is coated with the fragrance of pollen.
Why is this egoless bud is empty?
Why do I remain devoid of everything?

My eyes are wet with saline water.
Will there be no morning following this annihilating night of agonies?
Many floral garlands have dried up.

Only their thread is left.
Please bring a heap full of hopes.

In the whole universe,
I accept only You.

I have merged in the flow of Your thought.
I dance within Your kuruvindha (Your mental mirror).
You are the ocean,

I am a drop of water.
Nothing but Your love sustains me.

The blazing meteor strikes and lightning flashes.
In the cool southern breeze,
in the moonlit night,
Your song and immortal message
smile on my mental horizon
and dance in my heart.

You went away,
telling You would come again,
wiping off my tears.

You are the essence of the nectar of heaven
and the splendid gem of the earth.
You are the vast ocean of love,
shining as the effulgence of consciousness.

I have loved You hundreds of times,
in hundreds of irresistible forms.
O vibration of my life,
if You are my life, why do You remain far away?

Carrying the lamp of hope in hand,
You came on a dark night,
to show the beacon light to one who had lost the path.

The earth was in deep darkness.
By Your mudra
it instantly became filled with Your effulgence.

The peace-absorbed world
became restless with the vibration of life.
And restless with the vibration of love,
its mind was suddenly illuminated.

Since then, You ever remain
with each atom, molecule and particle,
in the flow of life,
in the stream of sweet nectar,
in individual and collective association.

You are my eternal companion.
This fact I understand with my heart and soul.

During the soft breeze and during the burning storm
I recognise this fact with tears.

Let not the fragrance of ideation
be lost in the madness of high winds.
To that end, in the dark night,
I find You as polestar.

There is neither rising up nor lowering down for You.
You are the only essence of essences for all times.
With the penance of only one hope,

I remain fully awake.

Who knows when I came, breaking bondages?

Due to looking at whom
did I not want the deluding allurement of desire and achievement?

I did not listen to anyone’s request.
I did not succomb to whatever resistance.
People called me mad and foolish.
But I did not pay attention to it.

Having sacrificed meagre worldly objects,
I attained the great and joined those who know the truth.
I abandoned all my physical longings

in the tidal wave of the universal flow.

You generously offered everything to me.
What have You not given me,
O Lord?

Unnoticed, You took Your seat in my mental arena.
I felt shy talking to You.
I wonder what I had in the past and what I have now.
I was lying around in dust, neglected,

and You pulled me close.

I had no mental vision nor object.
I did not kindle any candle or incense.
I was caught in a dreadful and dark night.
You lifted me up onto Your lap.

Now I understand that everything is Yours.
You are the sole fundamental essence.
On my one-stringed instrument,
in the calm morning
You raised a smiling song.

looking at me with a smiling face
and seated so unmindfully?

I picked flowers and threaded a garland
to privately place on You.

I have no particular qualities to express.
Nor do I have the shine of good deeds.
I have no skilful language to convey my feelings.
In my mind only love is present.

Age after age, I have been waiting on the path,
actionless, with sweat-laden memories,
raising the stream of consciousness,
in the depth of my mind, with song after song.

You do not want anything.
You do not say anything.
You scatter a smile like clusters of pearls.

You have no companion.
Who do You look for, wandering about in all places?
You remain ever busy, playing with this limitless world.

You have no scarcity.
You are the collection of all thoughts as great ideation.
Equally influencing the Cosmic and the microcosm,

You create this illusive game in hundreds of styles.

Many eras have passed on this dark earth.
Frightening events have struck at it many times.
It had to undergo much bloodshed again and again.
Now enlighten it with love and affection.

O Lord, do not continue this delusive game anymore.
Restore the sweetness of Your play.

Why remain far away?
If You love all,
why did You cover the fragrant sandal paste with mud?

Crossing the cimmerian darkness,

You tell me to move forward only.

That which was a still bud last night,
became a flower this morning.
That which was present in the mind,
associated individually and collectively,
remained threaded in the thread of love.

I become absorbed in Your ideation.

my vibrant heart peeps out.
In the hope of the nectar of pollen
my mental bee rushes towards You.

In the endless and beginningless water of imagination,
You sail the boat, far and further,

ignoring months, seasons and time, era after era.

O Lord,
whatever You want, You do,
never deviating from Your will.
You look at small and big equally.
You coat every mind with honey.

The nightingale sings with momentum
in the mental arbor of my floral garden,

“Where are You?
Tell me. Where are You?”

With the touch of vitality and the upsurge of song,
oscillations arise on the buds.

The tender leaves and buds intermingle.
The shalmali tree is full of flowers.
In the depth of their mind and with smiling faces,
all want only one.

The kimshuk grove smiles with colours.
The fragrance of fallen buds floats.
In water, air and sky the stream of nectar keeps flowing.

Looking at Your arrival path,
many days have passed,
yet You did not come to my home,
O eternally unknown traveler.

I do not understand my faults.
I move on Your path and survive with Your thought,
contemplating You day and night.

I climb high mountains.
I keep searching, though in vain.
In victory and defeat,
I remember You.
I shall not forget Your imprint on me.

The lotus bud says,

“O my Lord,
the thread that You created,
in the bunch of lily flowers,
has no comparison.

That which You have unmindfully decorated
with humming of bees and storms,
is not simply an illusion.”

You poured light into the morning.
You coloured the evening with tint.
By the rhythms of dance and through the soft breeze,
You provided everything.

Yet You Yourself did not come.

Your illusive play spreads all over the world.
Life flows through the togetherness of light and shade.
You exist and I exist. This is the essence of what I know.
In this knowledge lies permanent consolation.

I love You with floral fragrance
and the deep breath of a broken heart.

You are the most valuable kaostubha gem.
You are a diamond mine.
Yet You are also the expression of dismay in the agony of the desert.

Under the environment of Your endless and beginningless cosmic play,
You make one cry, smile and dance with impulse.

At the end of the day,
You pull all close to You,
in the eternal firmament of consciousness.

There is no one like You.
In the universe, I do not find a second entity.
Hence, taking Your name,
I express my millions of salutations before You.

You fill me with the impulse of vitality.

Whatever existed

whatever stays
and whatever does not remain,
opposite to all,
You are Paramatma,
Parama Purusa,
the Divine,
the one who makes all dance.

Your power is present in fire and air.
You are well established in grassroots.
Be it the nearby particle or the distant nebula,
You make all dance as per Your will.

I desired to have You in a lonely place,
but You were involved in a universal gathering.
Therefore I could not find You alone.

But in my mind, each and every moment,
I was thinking that if I saw You alone,
then I would hold You in my heart.

I have forgotten the day and year, and the date.
Many nights have passed crying.
So many songs I sang for You
with a simple and straightforward mind, free of doubt.

Today, in this dark night
as the strong wind and cyclone swirls
and the sky is filled with thunder and lightening,
when the heart quivers,
You came and allowed Yourself to be held in this lonely place,
vibrating the heaven of my mind.

O charming one,
in the warm morning,
Your hair (clouds) decorating mountains,
in what form did You come and go?

To the depth of mind and the soft breeze,
what variegated and beautiful response did You give?

In momentum and impulse of life,
You are incomparable.
You vibrate the very root of life.
In the petals of Your lotus,
deep fire oscillates.
Knowingly or unknowingly,
You are the stealer of mind.

I had become lost in the intense drowsiness of inertia,
floating benumbedly.

Today by Your grace,
the glimpse of consciousness shines.
I want only You,
physically, mentally and spiritually.

You were in the unknown
but came within that which is known.
Yet, how little do I know You!

Whenever I try to know
whatever it is I try to know,
I realise that I do not know it.
Thus I increase the scope of my ignorance.

The fragrance of flowers,
the darkness of the clouds,
the greatness of mountains,
I like all deep from my heart.
My mind keeps thinking,
yet it is unable to understand why I do love these.

I have not seen You.
I did not find close.
I could not adorn and establish You on my mental altar.
Still, my hope rushes out in hundreds of ways,

ever pulling You closer and closer.

merging in the endless and unlimited,

Today, morning has broken in a new form,
carrying the message of the new in the eastern horizon.

With the love of the eastern light
the smiling lotus was filled
and the agony of dogma was removed.

All wanted the night to be over,
the end of darkness and golden illumination.
There is no restless frenzy,
amidst the silent upsurge of emotions
in coloured and tender leaves.

Living beings are obsessed
with fights in darkness.
They do not want that the world should be sweet.
They shall forget this delusion one day,
amidst the morning radiance in the new world
when the small morning shall blossom in their mind.

After so many days,
He came,
filling everyone's hearts.
Today, there is no more talk,
only songs and more songs.

The buds of the mainjista flowers dance
and say to the madhavi buds:
“Your time has come!
Do not remain asleep!
Listen to His call!”

The bela and the malati flowers,
and the bakul trees too, know He came.
The message of His arrival is also in the sandal breeze.
Hence, no more sitting and lamentation!

Accept His divine gift with happiness and laughter.

Today the lost Krsna appeared in the new horizon,
absorbing the gardens of Vrindavan
by inundating them in sandal fragrance.

The kadamba tree has dried up,
the grazing ground has become a desert.
The Yamuna river has also dried up,
and Krsna is not in the heart.

Those loving moments have become immobile,
and are lost.
Today, the home of that beloved one has been attained.

The trumpet of heaven started sounding.
The sun appeared, carrying new life.

In the eastern sky and in the tender leaves,
vitality started flowing, filling them with new songs.

The long dark night has passed.
The message of life rushes in various directions.
The sleeping collective consciousness awakened today
with fearless bright light and jingling bells.

None takes pride in being alone today.
Taking all along, all move happiliy in unison,
filling the dumb with language,
and making all bathe in the effulgent pond of nectar.

You gave me many gifts.
I thought I would remain with You only,
but You provided affluent material comfort to me.

By giving a lotus,
You gave me the pain of thorns.
By giving a floral garland,
You placed a tight necklace around my neck.
By granting honour,
You made me lose my peace of mind.
You made me forget the eternal song.

Only You are my companion on the long path.
There stands nothing else before me anywhere.
I move along Your path to attain only You.
You are my pole star, please consider me.

pouring light into the eastern horizon,
and instantly removing all my sufferings.

There was no one in the world

You came in seclusion,

The earth became illuminated.
Beautiful forms bloomed in diverse colours.
You brought a smile from the sphere of absolute ideation beyond all thought.

In the southeast a new light shall be ignited.
The benevolence of the bliss aroused by human meditation
shall reflect in a spectacular way in the Cosmic mind.

Nobody shall be in sorrow.

You came, hearing the lamentation of my mind.

I had thought You had forgotten me,
but that was my misunderstanding.

My tears had washed away the dark decoration marks on my eyes.
Crying the whole night, morning appeared,

and I thought You had turned deaf.

Today You came with series of effulgence,
secludedly into my mind.
As series of glows,
You had remained hidden in the psychic realm.

My life is like the tiny, flickering flame of a lamp
which I have kept alive with all my might.

Does He not know this?
I beg and dance before Him.

I am but a firefly dancing around the brilliant moon.
In His effulgent intuition,

I lose myself again and again,

Telling me You would come,
there was a wick on the varnished altar of my mental lotus.

In the restless breeze and surrounded by a majestic and gentle song,
each moment resonated.

In the blue pond of mine, only one flower bloomed.
Filled with fragrance and honey, it was incomparable in beauty.
It grew upward facing, wholeheartedly looking for You,
that You may come down and lift it up.

Today You came and enchanted my garden.
By the vibrations of Your flute, You made my mind oscillate.
In my lotus garden there is a constant tinkling,

as the golden bud dances over its stem.

On this morning,
decorated and coloured with tender leaves,
You came.

In the pleasing soft breeze,
You smiled.

On the lips of the world was a heavenly smile
and paired with it was Your charming flute.
At the end of the crooked darkness,
destroying inertia,
You floated in my mental sky.

I could not recognise You.
Scriptures and philosophies had not told me.
You fulfilled my mind with each stabak (panegyric offering with folded pair of hands)
and removed my affliction and stopped my decay.

Into this mental sky of mine,
who are You who came today by Your own will?

With the uproar of dambaru (a small hand-held drum),
dancing momentarily started.

I did not know what I needed,
nor what was my purpose.
I had mountains of fame,
and a large collection of necessary articles.
You pulverised it all in a moment,
and lifted me up onto Your lap.

Benevolent Truth, Shiva, O Lord,
You are beautiful.
You reside in a realm beyond the mind.
You are ever charming.
Removing the heavy load of intellect,
You took away my burden.

Coming and going, wishing and gaining,
with only these, I survive.

Living and non-living beings,
microcosms,
each life,
is marked on this sketch.

It is difficult to say that I do not want to come.
Some people staying do not want to go.
With this eternal game of coming and going,
the wheels of the cart rotate and rattle,
enveloped by the Cosmic mind.

The greenness of trees,
the redness of the sun,
the sweetness of moonlight in the sky of hopes -
the Lord who has created this foggy riddle and its language is unlimited.

He goes on dancing within each atom.

He oscillates and swings my mind,
sometimes outside, sometimes inside.

I am unable to know.
I am unable to understand even after grasping Him.
I am unable to attain Him by wisdom and intellect.
Sometimes with pessimism and sometimes with audacity,
my mind wants to get Him close.

That one charmer who has created such delusion
decorated with beauty the realm of heaven.
No one can imagine what He shall do and when.
Still, He shows glimpses when ideated upon.

On this bright and illuminated morning,
Your arrival made flowers bloom
and turned the earth fragrant.

Adoring You, all came with the bud of hope in hand,
to this festivity.

You granted honour and even false vanity and prestige.
Finding You, people become charmed and engrossed.

Not only during nights or days but at all times,
You are with all,
O beloved,
O embodiment of consciousness.
By the lamp of Your love
and the niipa flower of ideation,
the inert world became filled with restless activity.

O ruby gem of Vrindavan, Kanu,
leaving me, where have You gone to?

You forgot father Nanda, mother Yashoda,
the cows and the bambooflute.

The Yamuna river is flowing solitarily.
The kadam tree does not bloom.
Below the tamal tree at the broken cowshed,
there is darkness, no light whatsoever.

In my life, You are the sole king,
O Shyam Rai.
You being gone, all are gone.
Today, in the bamboo grove,
at the Govardhan hills,
nobody sees with open eyes.

I love You wholeheartedly.
Come to my home today.

I shall decorate it with flowers,
engross my mind
and dance around You,
forgetting fear and shyness.

During daytime when light comes,
in the eastern sky, You face smiles.
With the fragrance of honey, the wind blows.
O King of cowherds,
my mind rushes unto You.

In the evening, the sun sets down on the horizon,
gently rocking the water lilies.
Leaving the shore,
my mind rushes far away to where there is no shore
and no obstruction between You and me exists.

Nonetheless I remain engrossed in Your song.

I have no glory to present to the world.
In my shell, I find no pearl.
O Lord,
by Your ideation and attraction,
I have become one in mind and heart.

I am but the minutest atom of an atom,
whereas You are the grandeur of luminous celestial bodies,
the brilliant most of all suns.

You are my object of ideation.
You are heavenly benevolence.
You causelessly pour out love.

I love You in the ideation of thoughts,

O merciful Lord,
what an illusive game is this?
Within moments,
many You destroy
and many You create.
Many come and many go,
in the arena of Your feet’s dust.

Unseen, without blemish,
is Your name.
O Lord beyond words, mind and sense perception,
I salute You.
You are beginning, sustenance and result.
You smile in my mental swing.

That Gopal of the land of Vraja moves on.
From where to where?

Vibrating the sky through the rhythm of dance,
He scatters articles of memories.

I know that my Krsna never leaves.
Rather, He always smiles within my heart.
Not seeing Him with one’s eyes,
only remembering Him in one’s mind,
it is very difficult to understand whether He is near or far.

As thoughts merge into that great ideation
feelings of scarcity become lost in their own characteristics.
Like a shoreless boat,

I go round without a shore,
in my mental gem-studded Gokula.

whether You come close or remain far,
constantly keep me with You as if I were a smiling shadow.

I have come to this earth to do Your work.
With whatever means You have provided,
I am always ready to execute this work.
In the external and internal worlds,
in the depth of my mental core,

I am unable to tolerate being forgetful of You,

Beyond language,
You are known by feelings.
Within and beyond feelings,
within and beyond time,

Your ever new sweetness dwells.

O nearest one,
You are ever unknown.
You are nectar-oozing.
You do not heed to anything.

You are visualised without being seen.

You are the essence of the love of life.

You secretly came into the deep recess of my mind
and smiled softly.

The flowers want You
with love-filled petals,
immersing their mind in the softness of oozing nectar.
Come, come closer,

and merge with my inner core.  Why are You far away?

In the firmament of my mind,

and that You are the embodiment of sweetness.
You are all honey,
O dearest companion.
Why do You keep me within the frame of form?

O King of my mind,
You are hidden within my mind.
I shall see You within my mind.

You have been present since time immemorial,
and continue to be til endlessness.
With love You are to be realised.

You are within my eyes, within the darkness of my pupils.
You remain dressed with colourful adornments.

Their colours ceaselessly glimpse.
Come still closer.
Come into my “I” feeling,
that I may lose myself in You.

You have forgotten me.

Amidst multitudes,
constantly engaged in a variety of jobs,
You remain ever engrossed.

I perform Your meditation and worship.
I incessantly beg for Your mercy.
With tearful eyes,
I tell You not to keep Yourself away.
Why did You leave me alone?

I have no other to whom I can communicate the throbbing of my heart.
Caught in a dark prison,

I have lost the direction.
In which shade do You go on dancing?

What is the use of ornaments?
O dweller of heaven,
I have kept my mental jewels ready.

Unseen, You go on dancing,
O pupil of my eye.
You are the foremost leader of all,
O destroyer of infatuation for all time.

I neither know You nor recognise You.
That said, besides You, I have no other.
I do not accept any second entity,
O destroyer of sins and dirt, and killer of Kamsa.

What for is Your coming to this world
for only a few days’ love?
This merciless game,
You have been playing from age to age.

I do not remember what I used to be doing.
I kept arousing hope after hope.
Thinking about what I should think and about what not,
in this dilemma, time passes.

O embodiment of liila,
You are that very illusory game.
That is why, to reach that eternal abode,
I seek His grace.
Thinking about what I understand and about what I do not,
my eyes flow tears.

Your name is dear to me.
You are my ultimate goal.
All my hopes are with You only.

In the beautiful space, Your charm floats.
By Your law, all comes and goes.

I am ignorant of Your cause and effect.
I accept You as creation, sustenance and dissolution.
The ever-sweet rhythmic and heavenly stream of bliss,
by Your intuition, destroys all despair.

My mind dances around You to the sound of ankle-bells,
with tune and melody, beyond the horizon.

With heavenly vibrations, resonating the three worlds,
You made speechless all expressed language.

You are the nectar in the lotus flower.
The bees all want to have You close.

You are the ketaki (screwpine) flower during the monsoon.
You are the campaka flower in the flow of cognition,
drifting along a melodious and ecstatic breeze.

The glow of Your beauty sparkles in the unit being,
in the Cosmic, in the stars and in jewels.

The string of nebulae in numerous trails
rolls and overflows around Your lotus feet.

Today, with eye-enchanting beauty,
You came in mundane, supramundane and spiritual forms.

Into the casket of my mind,
You appeared by the sweet pull of love.

In my mental lotus the sweet pollen
was filled with fragrance and the impulse of love.
It swung rhythmically, full of melody and tune.
For whom? Who would know?

To the ocean of beauty, what for did this lotus come?
O Lord, You only know, as everything is within You.
You are the ocean of intuition and insight.

By the water of the absolute knowledge of consciousness,
You fill the life of shells with pearls.

In this stream’s flow of songs,
You keep dancing.

In the darkness of inertia,
You kindle light.

When there were no atoms and molecules in the universe,
when the root cause of the universe used to sleep in cimmerian slumber,
there was no smiling light,

nor any flute play, in whatever festivity would have been.
You smiled alone.

Today, amidst many, You float in the flow of Your divine play.
Being singular, You provide sweetness to the hearts of many.
Loving all with rhythm and dance,

You intoxicate with glittering beauty.

O sweet amd charming One,
colour my mind and always stay with me.

Kindling the lamp of love,
agitating fire,
You want to destroy darkness.

For You there is nothing like minutes, seconds or moments.
You surpass time,

O Lord,
with unique feelings.
Nonetheless, You come to love microcosms.

You are unseen and unblemished
You are above the analysis of scriptures, intellect, logic and consideration.
You remove the mirage of infatuation.

What a divine game of light and shade of Yours is this?
What a play is this in which You dance within and beyond time?
Though You are with me, I do not see You.

You are so dexterous.

I love You,
but do not know whether You love me or not.
Nevertheless I want to get You close.
I am so afflicted.

My days uselessly come and go.
In this coming and going,
I find peace only by ideating on You.
You are so sweet.

O Lord,

You have removed.

The load of darkness that had been propelled by inertia
vanished away far within moments.

What was beyond my imagination,
I was able to experience.
You illuminated my dark prison with permanent effulgence.

What a divine game of Yours is this?
In the universal illusion,
within moments,
You joyfully start a new play.
What thoughts, feelings and will to act of Yours are these
that are expressed with such charm?

The swan glides in the blue sky unto an unknown destination.

My solitary mind rushes behind but is unable to find where its nest is.

Sheltered in light and shade,
this nest always remains coated by the the devotional flow of thought.
By the attraction of love

the swan’s wings flap and reach the correct destination.

Spreading the wings of action and knowledge,
it flies towards devotion,
looking at its object of contemplation,
forgetting everything else.
He comes into fold,
in this unparalleled and divine game.

Today the stars keep singing songs,
to which I listen with attuned ears.

These songs pour the stream of nectar into my mind
and make my heart restless.

These songs flow from country to country,
into everyone’s consciousness,
penetrating each atom, molecule and particle,
opening the door of minds.

Playing on the musical scale of ragas and raginis,
these songs swing the far sky.
Merging into the horizon,
engrossing myself in vibration,
I forget restrictions and limitations.

I have remained awake for You,
with tears flowing from my eyes.

I have been waiting for You for ages, looking at the path.
Several lives have passed with me remaining awake.
You did not come.
You did not put on the garland that was meant for You.
You did not understand the essence of my will.

My mental Yamuna river is no more within my control.
It flows with occasional ebbs and flows.

It wants shelter in You
and seeks You again and again.

You are the smiling floral garland of hundreds of gardens.
You are the tears of bliss of many eyes.

Why do You remain hidden within the fog?

All offer their complete salutation to You.
Why don’t You respond to their call?

if You had not planned to stay,
why did You come deluding me?

Why did You come raising further disappointment
in my already injured heart?

I used to be totally embedded in hopelessness,
surrounded by self-created boundaries.
I had lost all expression,
and had utterly decayed into matter.

I love You.
I smile and cry at Your name.
During moonlit nights
I remain full of feelings for that unseen one.

When, in Your song and meditation,
my mind was constantly engrossed,
You came at the shore of effulgence.

The sandal breeze was blowing,
restlessly resonating.

There was no one with me.
I wanted within You myself time and again.
Completely offering the sweetness of my heart,
I poured it out at the shore of love.

I do not have a load of virtues.
I therefore seek Your mercy again and again.
Losing Your way,
You came within my reach.

You were the niipa bud of the colourful days of my life.

Bathed in rain, with a succulent smile,
You used to make me oscillate and swing.

With the peacock’s call,
You glide across the distant blue sky,
with gems and jewels, along a garland of stars.
There is no one that compares to You.

Has the colourful bird of colourful days
flown away into the void space?
In these past events, in this history of Yours,
the flower of memories blooms.

O unseen one,
one without blemish,
destroyer of worldly fears,
ointment of intuition,
You are eternal,
You have been since time immemorial.

O provider of joy through containment and fulfilment,
O provider of happiness through establishment,

You see all and guide all intellect.

There is no one in the triple-layered world like You.
Within You is the aggregate of creation, sustenance and dissolution.
Whatever was, whatever is present and whatever will come,
taking all along is Your constitution.

You are the ideational feeling of all thoughts.
You are overwhelmingly loved.
You are the gem of minds and the benevolent-most in all existence.
By Your particle of grace and smiling rosary of gems,
by Your affection, lovebirds rhythmically dance.

To the Gokul of songs,
You came today.
Wearing a garland of gems around Your neck,
You merged with my mind.

There is no other entity in the world or heaven like You.
Your sweetness and affection is unparalleled.

For every entity, coming and going around You is essential.
By the flow of Your will, You create the world.

There is nothing unknown to You,
O Lord.
Nonetheless I may express my utmost sincerity to You.
Stay with me with unrestrained affection,

the song of which You remain frenzied with in the divine play.

I keep singing my song for You to listen to it,
though I do not know whether You do listen to it or not.
I set its melody adrift on a shoreless stream.

Day and night, for You, my song’s stream flows.
It moves restlessly around Your quarters,
colouring the tranquil breeze.

At the base of Your altar,
I carry in hand an earth-smeared offering.
With the flowers of the language of my inner core,
I fill honey with fragrance.

On this illuminated morning,
I came with the hope of the song of blue lotus.

Then sandal breeze was blowing
as if gesturing with intoxication.

I had no wealth.
My mental cakor bird was hollow.
I was engrossed in intense drowsiness,
leaving dark rings under my eyes.

Looking at You,
astonished by Your effulgence,
my mental bee awoke,
by Your gentle and sweet consciousness.

You scattered songs in each corner of the world.

You filled minds with the glittering shine of gems
by emanating heavenly vibrations.

Although in this universe nothing compares to You,
O Lord,
I continue searching You outside and inside this universe.
I do not understand that You are seated within the depth of my mind.

Come with dance and songs, come into my life,
swaying on a rhythmic tune.
Appear to me in my meditation.

Creation, sustenance and dissolution are located within You.
You are with all individually and collectively.

In the dark night,
from within Your light,
what compassionate viina keeps playing?

By what attraction does my mind
rush to the distant heaven each moment?

It does not discriminate between near or far,
or between itself and others.
Why and how did You make my mind like that?
My soft heart restlessly floats
towards a shore beyond language.

Beyond the ocean of forms,
at the shore of formlessness,
around the feet of my Lord,
decorated with glittering ankle bells,
feelings dance with tears of joy,
wiping away the barrier
separating time and that which is beyond time.

You came to me.

You filled the universe with life
and removed darkness through song after song.

Piercing the darkness,
light rushed out in all the directions of that new life.
Oscillating my consciousness with the vibrations of the blissful niipa flower,
You whispered stories into my ears.

You are the iconic embodiment of affection.
You are the dearest most.
Your innumerable flows destroy the deep darkness.
By series of waves,
and an ornamental griddle of gems,
You buried my ego. / You decorated my self-esteem.

You are the panacea for all pains.

Between You and me there are many similarities,
O Lord,
even though I am tiny and You are God.
By Your blissful vibrations and sandal fragrance
every atom and molecule of mine dances in ecstasy.

There is no difference between You and me.
I exist because You exist.
If You do not stay,
I shall drift away into the limitlessness of the infinite void.

You are my formless gem.
You are overwhelmingly pleasant.

I do not understand You. I do not know who You are.
I only know that You are the receptacle of all attributes.

In the endless divine play, everything keeps floating.
In the infinite, meagre atoms become lost.

In microcosms and in the macrocosmos,
through consciousness’ hundreds of adornments,
You create forms without pause.

Amidst the rhythm and beat of dance,
consciousness advances,
oscillating brilliance within series of waves and glittering griddles.
What You think, tell me, who would understand?

Thus, I offer my salutations at Your feet millions of times.

Astonishing through dance, rhythm and song,

That which never happened in the past,
came floating with heavenly upsurge.
Silently and in secludedly,
gifts of love were poured into the human mind.

Whoever and whereever you all may be,
do listen to me:
A history of coloured love is being created.
Along with all,
in this ultimate mission of charity,
come rushing,
in this morning that has occurred.

I shall to ask You,
O controller of the world.

Why did You bring living beings to this world,
only to give them pain?

Living beings come to this world to smile and cry.
Sometimes by the charm of the moonlight
and sometimes by the fall of meteorites.
In this game, they merge with the dust,
in a carefree manner, taking one impartial look.

Why do You perform this merciless play,
sometimes making us float in misery, sometimes filling us with joy?
Sometimes You come close and sometimes You move away,
into the endless and attributeless, in light and darkness.

That sweet night did not come.

Perhaps You do not understand my agony.
That is why You kept Your eyes covered.
You have kept Yourself far away,
leaving me alone in the terrible storm.

Have You forgotten that I am but an atom
and that my body is made from Your imagination?
I am a firefly and You are sun.
Why do You go on playing Your flute,
leaving me alone, in this hard time?

I could not recognise, I could not know,

Looking towards the path, flowers withered.
Singing songs, birds fell asleep.
I did not know, I could not understand,

Opening my eyes,
I wanted to see whether You were near or far.
With what sweetness and moonlight,
did You fill each particle of mine?

With what charm,
O Lord,
do You make the physical world and heaven
dance with rhythm and beat?

Each moment, by the shine of effulgence,
You fill all with love,
from a blade of grass to the entire cosmos.

In each blink of the eye, the stream of joy is present.
In each glimpse, Your individual and collective associations arise and float.
In all thinking and ideation,

You scatter Your auspicious glow with the fragrance of love.

O my Divinity,
do not forget me.
I have neither glory nor sadhana,
no strength of virtue nor consciousness.
Still, my mind remains ever engrossed, awaiting Your grace.

After giving much agony
and making me shed tears,
that merciless Lord of mine came.

What You want, I do not know.
What You say, that also I do not understand.
Only this much I know:
that You love me.

I do not know whether You live far away
and if that is why my cry does not reach to Your ears.
You may be knowingly pretending to be deaf

or may be thinking that none should know it.

You only sketch the panorama of Your play.
You may be unknowingly sketching, remaining in engrossment.
You do not consider beginning, middle or end

and go on dancing smilingly with and without attributes.

I go on singing my song.
Other than this, I have no wealth.

I do not have any strength of virtue.
Hence I beg for Your mercy.

You gave me voice and sincerety.
And You gave me overwhelmingly sweet love.
With all that, in hundreds of ways,
I express my prayer before You.

I am but Your atom, a dust particle of Your feet.
From within the Gokul of consciousness,
You play the flute.
That flute sound I hear in my inner core,
and by attraction of the unlimited, I lose all limitations.

Thinking of You,
tears drop day and night.

You remained far away,
O beloved,
leaving my home dark.

Amidst the dark charm of the clouded night,
my mind longs to have You closer.
Like the pollen of the ketakii flower,
my hope floats away into the darkness.

Amidst the fragrance of the winter shefalii,
the boat of white clouds floats.
You did not come near,
my decoration, full of flowers, is in vain.

Amidst the soft dawn of the spring breeze,
anointed with the colour of tender leaves,
I search You,
wandering about, in heaven and hell.

O formless one,
by the touch of Your beauty,
light came to this dark world.

By that light all directions became illuminated
and the mantra-charmed earth awakened.

You brought a heavenly glow to the earth.
You attuned Your melody to that of the swan.
You sang the song of the infinite to that which is limited.
You brought about frenzy in all directions.

Those covered by darkness
opened their eyes with the rays of dawn.
The witness, the witnessed and the object
smiled with joy
to the scene that took place in this world.

My mind remains moistened
with the nectar of His holy name.

He is my only one in the crimson dawn.
And In the deep dark night, He is my only refuge.
I cannot forget Him.

In the morning light, it is His smile that plays the flute
in a lonely corner of my mind.

He is merged in the colours of flowers.
Therefore I cannot fathom Him.

In this way He comes and goes,
drifting away invisibly, dispelling darkness.
I recognise Him, even without seeing Him.

This song of Yours has been flowing and merging
from limitless time to infinity.
With rhythm and melody it drifts into the blue void.

Nobody knows when it started.
No one can hold it even if one wanted to.
It enters and leaves the mind
in an eternal sequence of finitude and infinitude.

In Your songs You exist.
You have stirred the universe.
You keep dancing with sweetest ecstasy,
in the full rhythm of universal life.

I look at You.

In the melody of the evening star at the end of the day,

playing the tune that removes the darkness of the night,

Life passes with distorted knowledge.

Therefore, do kindle the lamp of intuition.

Who does not know
that in the stem of the lotus there are thorns?
Does the stem say that it refuses to lift the lotus flower?
Tell me,

O beloved.

In the dark night I am unable to see.
Am I therefore not worthy of moving on the path?

O unknowable one,
what I do not possess, is insignificant.
This type of inferior thinking,
I shall not entertain any more.
Within what seems useless, lies embedded a collection of essence.
Within the dark well of mine, a beautiful diamond glitters.

Being ignorant, I mostly think erroneously.
Even after knowing the essence of truth,
I do not accept it.
Today, arriving at a late hour,
I found the path.
Over this evening ocean,
You kindle an adorable glow.

A sweet breeze is blowing in the moonlight.

With the touch of sandal and the upsurge of fragrance,
what does the cuckoo want to convey?

Coloured with tender leaves,
the earth dances.
The fragrance of dropped buds floats in the air.
Along the eager-minded kimshuk flower,
the shalmali flower smiles.

The bed of bakul flowers is smeared with fragrance.
The campak garden is enraptured with parul flowers.
Decorated with floral ornaments at its feet,

nature charms with beauty.

Crossing the dark ocean,
is the effulgence of Your love.

Yours is the song of Pinaka Pani
(Shiva, holding a small, handheld drum).

You came, removing the fear
of the frightening, annihilating and destructive jaws of death.

Following the numerous penances of Gaorii,
following the many applications of the ashes of the bodiless
and the many offerings of daksa,

this oblation took place.

I do not find any beginning, middle or end.
By meditating and meditating, I lose myself.
I continue singing of Your glory,
pouring out all my earnestness.

Today, one unknown nymph
came gliding down from the land of the moon.

With its arrival,
trumpets continuously began to sound in the recess of mind.

Sleeping tender leaves awakened.
Slackened leaves were again given vitality.
By the fragrance of buds,
and the sound of cooing peacocks,
the silent garden started dancing.

The inertial drowsiness of everyone was broken.
The colour of spring opened up eyes.
Through the beauty of leaves and the charm of flowers,
the one skilled in beauty came down, decorating all.

To take You along,
by the life and mind that You gave me,
is my spiritual endeavour, my sadhana.

I think of You.
I consider all as Yours.
There is nothing besides You.

O merciless one,
why did You ignore me?
Why did You go far away, leaving me alone?
Come still closer.
How much strength in merely begging for Your attainment is needed?

I do not know for how long I have kept You forgotten.
I continued attuning myself to the rhythm of the inert.
Today, I understood that I am Yours,

and all my imagination and thoughts circle around You only.

at this dark and cloudy hour of the night?

O my beloved,
embodiment of divine qualities,
won’t the dark prison house of Mathura be lit again?

Maddened by Your sweet name,
the herds of cows are no more all ears to listen to Your flute.
In the beautiful palace of king Nanda,

nights are no longer as illuminated as before.

Waves do no longer rise in the waters of the Yamuna river.
No one gets a glimpse of the colour of Your dark skin anymore.
In the groves of tamala and kadamba trees

the gopiis no longer pauselessly dance.

On the auspicious occasion of New Year's Day,
with overwhelming joy,
I express my reverence to You.

You pervade my life,
filling my unit mind with multiplicities of colours.

You provided me with such necessities of life
as shelter, food, water, light, flowers and fruits.
You gave me breeze, cool shade and satiating affection.

You provided the warmth of fire during cold nights.
You gave fragrance along with flowers.

You granted strength of intellect to face enemies.
What have You not given me graciously,
O Lord?
When I forget the path and become engrossed in material things,
You pardon me again and again.

You are my most beloved.
You are everyone’s dearest.

In the darkness of dried dung,
You are the ray of light,
charming, as embodiment of beauty.

During the heat of fire and the water of clouds,
can I forget You any time?
During sleep and dream, I remember You.
You are my hope in the ocean of disappointment.

Nothing belongs to me, only You do.
In the dark sky,
You are the singular moon.
You are the sweet lotus in my empty heart.
You pour on me incomparable sweetness.

Tell me, where were You?

No one was there for You to speak to,
no one to hurt any heart.

I consider You to be the ocean of this divine game
and I know how harsh it is.
O Lord of this divine game,
listen and talk,
how could You manage in loneliness?

I know neither philosophy nor scriptures.
I do not accept any entity other than You.
For just a tiny bit of Your grace,

You are the morning glow and the evening’s red colour.
In the garden full of flowers,

You are the sweet affection.
In the rainy night,
You are the fragrant pollen of ketakii flowers,
floating with unlimited turbulence.

I have a concept of time with mistuned rhythm and beats.
You are the great duration, free from the bondage of stoppage.
You willingly carry the universe's load upon Yourself.

and always smile in the mental Gokul.

that moon is never devoured by the demon Rahu.

Stay with me each moment.
Make me dance to that rhythm
with which You play Your flute.

is not recorded in history.

You were there and I was there,
with the hope for the dust of Your feet.

You were playing a charming flute
and I was engrossed in dancing.
I loved only You.
Unwashed with the hope of gift.

How many eons have since passed?
Attracted by lifeless objects, inertia arose.
Piercing through the fog, Your glow dances.
Why it does not pull me, I do not know.

He keeps everyone in the recess of His mind.
He attracts and pulls everyone unto Himself.
He makes all forget their burns.

He does not distinguish between Himself and others.

Atoms and molecules became restless with dance,
charged with overwhelming feelings.
The waves in the ocean overflowed adoring You,
O embodiment of the divine game.

History has forgotten the fact
that the glory of the Great destoys drowsiness.
In the sky and air,
that ancient reminder floats on even today,
O Cosmic Entity.

O charming one,
the altar that You carefully created in the human mind,
stirs the mental sky,

with songs full of love and devotional meditation.

All arrangements fit their purpose.
You arrange in each period,
for honey to be cultivated from the pollen in the flower,
and for the pearl to grow within its shell.

Buds are threaded into a garland.
In a bee’s body, a sting that burns is inherent.
The charming ornamental griddle reflects in the dreamy moonlight.
All this by Your sweetness,

O controller of the world.

You have been providing light in the darkness of the night.
By awakening the power of discrimination,

You taught me what is good.

But what a game did You play?

You did not reveal Yourself.
Do tell me what You want.
Tell me how You are to be attained.

Your divine game is infinite.
There is no limitation to Your thoughts.
You are above and beyond all time.
Mercifully, with limitless effulgence,
You have descended.

come each moment.
The Yamuna river of love rushes with tide,

You came into my mind.

I do not know what You want
with Your deceptive divine game.

With an ambrosial smile on lips,
You secretly entered.
No one can imagine
why You create Your divine games.

From begininglessness to endlessness You keep floating.
From an invisible sphere,

You call and speak to the core of my heart.
From the sweetness-absorbed unexpressed world,
concealing Your identity,
You remove our dirt, in this expressed world of forms.

There is no entity like You in the three worlds.
In heaven, on earth or in hell,
I do not find any second entity.
O omnitelepathic Lord,
You are the controlling nucleus and the medium of liberation.
Unseen, absorbed in effulgence,

You sing the song of light.

The song of our rendezvous is no longer in my mind.

Yet, I returned with a disappointed heart.

With my own capacity,

Hope suddenly spread.

The storm of effulgence came advancing.
That flood of effulgence covered the earth as though it were a mountain.

In no corner darkness remained.
No dirt subsided in anyone’s mind.
Pouring out vitality after vitality,
the great repository of energy,
pulled unto Him all thoughts.

Those bound by the dark well,
those carrying the dark heap of dogma,
opened their eyes to see with love,
that illuminated mountain at dawn.

O envoy of effulgence,
immersed in brightness,
I could not recognise You.

Although I I did not tell my prayers,
You came close, enchanting my mind.

You came, crossing the seven oceans
and burning the inhibition of inertial darkness.
You removed the thorns on the path.
Yet I had not pulled You unto my mind.

I had not seen or considered
how You were related to me.
By Your mercy, let there be morning to the night.
If You so desire, intense agony can be overcome.
This I had not learnt, though I had known.

Deity of light,
listen to me,
pour effulgence into this world.

Seeking touch,
the peacock of the mind dances,
to fill life with bliss.

The stars and nebula circle around Your feet
seeking existence, glow and bliss.
Bring on all faces
the unparalleled glow of the kaostubha diamond.

O eternal director of the path of movement,
the glory of You attributes is beyond thought.
Vibrating atoms and molecules,
awaken consciousness in each life.

I do not want to forget You,
nor will I ever forget You.

Stay with me,
O beloved,
stay in my mind.

Amidst the storm of inert matter,
and the flood of falsehood,
hold me by Your mental force.

Fill my life with the essence of consciousness.
With the elixir of knowledge, put me into action.
From the depth of my mind,
with the water of condensed consciousness,
call me with love and affection.

O deep and unlimited ocean of love,
keep me in Your mind.
I am Your droplet.
With Your mercy and kindness,
watch over me each moment.

The King of seasons came
and whispered into my ears:

“O bud, do not bloom today.

Your agony will continue.
Your beloved is not coming today.
That King of mind does not understand your pain.

He burns the mind like fire.
He intoxicates from afar by dance.
Smiling softly, not letting you attain Him,
He shameless makes you cry.

He plays the flute
with unparalleled melody, rhythm and song,
pouring out extreme sweetness.
He makes one helpless,
by remaining unseen,
that King of the three worlds.”

That lover of gopiis eternally floats in in the firmament of my mind.

The joyful Lord of Vraja,
that deity of love,
exudes the fragrance of sandalwood,
and smiles,
radiating white effulgence.

No demon ever overpowers this moon that is Krsna.
This king of the psychic world has no demands.
He keeps pouring love, not expecting anything in return.
He is ever illuminated in His own light.

O ultimate destination of all and controller of the world,
look at me with graceful eyes.

Amdist the auspicious light of love,
I pray unto Your feet.
Remain ever engaged in action,
in my mental Vridavan.

In the absence of Krsna, this arbor of niipa trees
has become devoid of beauty and is silent.
Plum fruits are lying in the dust and lamenting.

Opening their mouth as they graze, the cows of Vraja have left.
No one is eager to listen to the flute with attentive ears.
The peacock does not dance anymore

and the catak bird does not seek rainwater.
The khainjan bird has become lame.

There is no flow of tide in the stream of the Yamuna river.
The colours of the kingfisher and chameleon do not charm the mind.
The toads no longer croak alongside the gallinule birds,
as rains arrive and dark clouds assemble.

During the rainy night,
with wet eyes,
I remained awake looking at Your path,
O companion.

Outside a storm was raging.
I was sitting alone,
thinking that if I pierced through the typhoon I would see Him.

Your dense love is pious like the fire.
It removes the dirt of the mind
and awakens light.
It makes pains and fears vanish.
On the gem-studded base of the lamp,
Your love has stamped a golden mark.

There is no consideration of day, moment or proper time.
There is no demarcation boundary of Your coming and going.
Whatever I wanted, I found located within You.

You are the constant fixed beacon lamp of intuition within the conscious entity.

Who knows when the golden lotus of the blue sea bloomed?

By whose sweet song did it bloom,
amidst the festivity of light,
within the bosom of the blue ocean?

Who is He,
who raises His face in the morning light,
oscillating on the swing of wind,
not allowing that fragrance to be forgotten,
by the elixir of love
and a rhythm full of vitality?

Suddenly a fairy came
and took away that golden lotus.
Unrestrained by any forbidding,
against the call of pain,
it held it, departing silently and secludedly.

O Shiva, Shaunkara, Supreme Benevolent Lord,
You are the seed of the universe
and the source of all compassion.

You resemble a silver mountain
and hold a crescent moon on Your head.
You are like a bright jewel.
You are the base of all welfare.

You hold in Your hand an axe for taming animals
and bestow blessings through Your varabhaya mudra.

I bow unto You always.
Please grant me Your grace.
Be pleased and bestow realisation upon me
O, one dressed in tiger skin,
holder of the vajra and of the long horn.

All the wealth of Your qualities,
based on the principle of social equality,
are not mentioned in the scriptures.
O Lord,
You are above this universe.
You are the cause of creation and the remover of fear.
Give me the dust particles of Your holy feet.

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

O Supreme Benevolent Lord!
You are Shivashankara
the seed of the universe
the supreme Lord and the fountain of all compassion.

You are like the silver mountain.
Lord Shiva on whose head shines the moon.
You are brighter than the brightest jewel.
From You came the wellbeing of the universe.

I pay obeisance to You who holds the axe,
tames wild animals and bestows the varabhaya mudra.
I entreat You to shower Your grace always upon me.
Be pleased, O Lord
who can give the realisation of the Átman.
You are dressed in tiger skin
holding the vajra and the long horn.

All the wealth of Your qualities
based on the principles of social equality
are not mentioned in the scriptures.
O Lord You are above the universe
the cause of creation and the remover of fear.
O dear Lord be gracious to give me

smile in the sweet garden of my mind,

It is impossible for me

Hence, on the floral altar of my mind,

sit in the adornment of a King,

I flow in the effulgence of Your name,
through series of waves on the ocean of nectar.
Have mercy on me,

would come
and no misery would remain,
that immorality would be eradicated from this world.

The frightening comet would no longer surround the sky.
That golden life would not be allowed to be blown away
into whatever descending node.

All would be full of vitality,
looking inwards and getting Your love each moment,
O remover of worldly burden.

The world is ready to welcome You.
Let it become self-sufficient.
Make it abandon all drowsiness and look at the path.
Quickly do raise its shattered self-confidence.

Playing the flute,
glancing with a smile,
the Lord of heaven today creates His divine play in Gokul.

Pleasing with coloured lips,
calling all,
He says,
“Come, rush along!”

Nobody is disowned or distant for Him.
All are His own.
All attain Him mentally.
The Yamuna river overflows with tide, along series of waves
and swings like a garland of coloured guinja seeds.

To suppress the wicked,
to preserve the righteous
and to destroy the annihilating comet of unjust,
He comes again and again with the twang of His drum.
No repository of attributes like Him exists on this earth.

I secretly love You,
my Lord,
and companion to all.

You fill life with rhythm and songs.
O memorable one,
You are enveloped within truth.

The torch of light is always with You.
You oscillate on the swing of petals.
Those who are dishonoured are also within You.
You never leave anyone alone in the three worlds.

Those who have no place to go,
they too, call You through the gaps of internal and external clouds.
You exist latent within inert beings.

You glow in ideation, as beautiful and shining moonlight.

O most beloved Lord,
You came within the periphery of form,
annihilating darkness.

In the arena held and confined within creation, sustenance and dissolution,
You continue Your illusive game,

O enjoyer of bliss.

O entity beyond form,
when did You come within form?
When in the past during the festivity of effulgence?
With what elixir did You scatter vitality,

and how many devilish entities did You destroy?

For You, there takes place no coming and going.
O Lord,
You are not restricted to any particular place.
Still, this ignorant mind calls You close,
even though You move within its inner self.

To this courtyard of songs,
You came this morning.

You had been hidden within the darkness of my mind,
when suddenly You became visible.

You are the world’s quintessence.
All knowledge and action belongs to You.
Yet intoxicated by my own ego,
I considered it all mine, deluding my own mind.

There is no existence besides You.
All entities are merely Your bubbles.
Bathing in Your ocean,
in the end, I shall eventually merge with You.

but You were sleeping happily,
O dearest!

Into Your open ears,
my calls never entered.
Still, I never lost hope.

In heaven, You were engrossed in sleep
while my days passed by, neglected on this hard earth.
Opening Your eyes,

You never looked at me, not even by mistake.
And You did not see how much I cried.

Flowers, fruits, sunlight, water -
all belong to You.
Nothing belongs to me.
I am beggar of Your grace.
You dance wherever people assemble,
with a charming smile on Your lips.
Your illusory slumber, I do not forget.

And within that song,
Your love is filled.

The catak bird shall no longer seek water.
The peacock shall dance, raising its tail with sweet feelings.
The blooming ketakii flowers shall provide fragrance,
oscillating with jerk at each rhythm and beat of the mind.

The croaking of toads shall be heard again at the shore of lakes.

Unnoticed by minds,

In the brilliance of light,
You did not reveal Yourself.
You came amidst tears of sorrow,
O Companion.

You were not seen near the decorated altar, not even accidentally.
You were seen at the lamentation of pain.

In my life, heaps of clouds had appeared,
and high waves had broken my dreams.
There was nobody close to me.
Everyone had left with fear,
but coming all by Yourself, You told me that I was not alone.

During the burns from fire and the macabre dance of flood water,
You were with me each moment.

You are with me in misery and affluence.
You never go away.
You ever keep me sheltered,
imprinting the victory mark on my burnt forehead.

With song after song,
O Lord,
You filled Your universe.

To the rhythm of Your song,
all small and big entities,
all atoms and molecules,
dance.

Nebulae go on dancing.
Stars and meteorites dance.
All meagre and great entities dance.

With its tail raised,
the peacock dances in the shefali grove
and in the tall grass of winter.
The mahul buds and the tender leaves
are jointly dancing, overwhelmed by spring.

Why did You not come?

The cloud told and the air sang
that that beloved would come.

My mind imagined there would be no further delay.
The fragrance of the shefali flower conveyed this too.

Why You did not come
I could not understand at all.
After searching within my heart,
I knew.
For Your entry into this dark house,
I did not kindle any lamp.

I did not want anything from You.
I only continued and continued singing songs.

I never asked or begged for anything.
I simply continued looking at You in meditation.

The distance bettween You and me was hard to cross.
It was full of immeasurable and unlimited, unknown melodies.
There was too much disappointment, blanketed with fog.
I kept thinking of You nonetheless.

O Lord,
You offered Your causeless grace.
You continued to look at this poor face.
I exist and shall remain loving You all the time.

When You perform the tandava dance intensely,
the dambaru (Your hand held drum) resonates through the clouds in the distant sky,
and by blowing the vishana (Your long horn),

the whole world shivers.

Your valuable and infallible trident
uproots and wipes away accumulated sins.
You destroy darkness, with laughter,
and with the third eye, You burn all immoral thoughts.

You are suppressor of the wicked and the protector of the righteous.
You are everyone’s dearest

and You are the beautifier of the three worlds.
From Your annihilating arrow, who would know where to run away?
By it, all immorality disappears from the earth.

And in that illumination, I see and smile.

Though You are unknown and unrecognised, You are mine.
You are the Lord of all times and the essence of all essences.
I am constantly aware of the fact that I won’t survive without You.

O unseen Lord,
You are merged in the core of my heart.
Being unable to see You, I cry.
This is my ignorance.
Unmindfully throwing away the knowledge of the shining pearl within,
I rush towards a mirage.

You are a majestic, snowy mountain,
constantly lashed by thunder.
You are the deep ocean
and You are the profound idea.

You are the soothing sandal paste
in the scorching heat of the sun.
You are the refreshing breeze,
blowing through the ketakii grove in the rainy season.
You are the gentle autumn breeze,

caressing the grove of kusha and kasha grass.

You are the glistening dewdrops

You are the morning mist in late autumn
and You are the terrible snowstorm in winter.
Your strings echo the melodious sound of spring.

Who would explain that?

You know that You have entered my mind with silent feelings,
as hidden undercurrent of the river Phalgu.

My feelings do not find language.
All my hopes have been shattered,
afflicted by the intense sun.
In the desert thirst, my eyes flow tears.

Like a river, flooding its banks,
the dancer dances, churning his / her feelings,
With a restless heart, he / she dances on unobstructedly.

Hoping for You,
looking at the path,
days after days of mine pass.

I should forget the idea that someone might console me.
He is the moon of the sky.

Who may attain Him?

In the moonlight, I saw my love wallow.
With veiled eyes, I shyly called Him close.
Smearing His pollen into each atom of my mind,
it becomes engrossed in concentration and meditation.

The pollen of lotus asks with charm:
“Who has ever attained Him, this icon of mercy?”
The one who continues to call Him in meditation,

merging one’s own colour with His,
the owner of such a heart,
gets to see His effulgence.

You oscillate the whole universe.
You dance in all bodies and minds.

You filled life into stars, moons, planets and nebulas.

Your love rushes on,
dancing and shining throughout heaven and earth.
You pour sweetness through the songs of series of waves and clouds.

It is impossible to speak of Your great glory.
Thoughts and feelings fail to find language to convey.
On the shore of the ocean of knowledge,

in the deep core of mind,
You paint diversities of hues.

O beloved Lord,
You have forgotten me.

There are many devotees and lovers of Yours,
and You consider me most meagre.

O one I love,
I have no strength of wisdom and retention.
I have no accumulation of good reactive momenta (samskaras).
My eyes are wet with the tears of pain.

Is it due to this that You remain away?

On the altar of Your worship, I am an earthen lamp.
I swing on the trembling bosom like a half bloomed niip flower.
I am loose like the mark on the sweat drenched forehead.
You have done good that You have forgotten me.

if You do not come back,
for whom and why should I remain at home?

Piercing through the sky and air,
crossing planets,
and even within atoms,
I shall search You.

I shall search You amidst nebulae,
on moons and stars,

I shall hold You and bring You.

You can not remain far.
I shall search You in the cave of my mind,
and by loving You,
I shall get You, beyond darkness.

You arrived this morning.

There is no invocation for You,
nor any vehicle to transport You.
You come and go silently.

You smile in the rising sun
and appear in the colour of the language of tender leaves.
You speak with red lips,

O beloved,
and astonish and understand the mind.

In the fragrance of roses,
glimpses of You glory become visible.
Your brilliance is glorified in the universe.
You are present in each pore,
and remain associated both individually and collectively.

You came, hearing my inner feelings.
Prayers or solicitations are unable to attract You close.

You are the nearest and sweetest.
O beloved, You know and listen to everything.
Removing the fog of my ego,
You are ever prepared to appear to me.

Whatever prayer, request or worship I perform,
is to get You close and to satisfy You.
Considering my ignorance and misery,
smear sweetness onto my consciousness.

On the string of feelings, all sing a song.

You proclaim that the right of survival
and the attraction for the Great exists in all.

for a rendezvous of effulgence,
You came.

You do not expect any gift.
You are never egoistic.
You simply let Your causeless grace flow.

By the grand rise of the Great, the eastern sky gets coloured.
By the colour of tender leaves, the mind is charmed.
Into a broken viina, You fill the musical octave.

You do everything free from desire.

Age after age people long for the advent
of a personality embodying the Cosmic.
Embedding greatness in atoms and molecules,
He came fulfilling hopes.

I don’t know why I love You.
I used to have endless desires.
I did not perform any formal spiritual practice.
Yet, I have been looking at You at every moment.

By singing Your name and singing songs,
I obtain endless bliss.
Although I am meagre,
I have understood that You are the essence of everything.

If You stay in one’s mind,
filling life with the fragrance of love,
then, at the end of darkness,
by Your qualities,
all shall merge in You.
O beloved,

You understood my mental state.

Will not that night come into my life again?
Will that moonlight again smile in my mind at that time?
Will that fear-removing moon

On the branches of shalmali trees,
newly grown buds swing.
Articles of love again decorate the earth.

during Your leisure period,
O Lord,
You glanced at me.

With the blissful resonance of the oscillating wind,
You poured effulgence over the pile of darkness.

With the roar of thunder You came many a time,
shattering the world into pieces by the strike of lightning.
You came privately, smiling with sweet charm.

You wiped off my tears with Your own hands.

Even though I was meagre,
You made me understand that I am not alone.
In sleep, dream and while awake
You are always with me as my sakha, my eternal companion.
Within my “I” feeling,

established as royal festivity,
remains Your nectar-like effulgence for time immemorial.

There is no other I can call my own,
and to whom I convey tell the feelings of my heart and mind.
Thus, during adversity or affluence,

what it said under the moonlight.

It told that in this world,
all move,

that nobody can stop anyone.
In the bright sunlight
heavenly love falls on all.

It told further,
that only one is the beloved of all
who is base of all,

Your extreme love shines each moment.

to place around Your neck, O beloved.

I have moistened it with the essence of nectar,
with my tears, amidst the evening hue.

Oscillating and swinging
at the root of the pollen of my mental lotus,
with unblinking and raised eyes,
I forget the difference of myself and others.

Breaking drowsiness,
opening my eyes,
light enters my mental temple
while under the distant blue sky,

The universe keeps merging in You, seeking shelter,
O sustainer of the world,

O Vishvambhar.

Through hearing, remembrance and meditation,
it melodiously flows in unison.

Within multiplicities, You remain one.
Under the flow of the spell of only one, many revolve.
In the arbor of one, groups and groups of honeybees hum
and surround Your feet.

All came from one and eventually merge in one.
In the end, innumerable feelings become one.
Amidst many adornments, one ideation is established,
as all accept that King of cowherds.

To kindle the lamp to decorate Your altar,
I have been searching a match stick my whole life.

For You,
I applied decorations to my eyes again and again.

I understood that the flame is in Your hands.
The garland that I keep searching is with You.
You mercifully forwarded the flame and the garland.
My mental swan spread its wings and landed on its nest.

I don’t know how many eras I have been searching.
Neither could I understand how many forms I have seen.
I only understood that I have been searching You my whole life.
O unlimited and infinite one,

bestow consciousness upon me.

Light came and the moon smiled.

Near the dark cloud,
with overwhelming impulse,
my mind floated and the peacock danced.

O beloved,
the end of darkness has seemingly come.
Removing disappointments, You fill hope.
Accept my salutation, impregnated with mantra,
as my mental viina plays.

My sleeping heart has awakened.
The lost awareness of my consciousness has returned.
My heart frenzies, with intense impulse,

as many merge into one.

Coming suddenly from the land of the moon,
who is that fairy, singing a song?

Charming me with melody,
making my feelings float,
she snatched away my mind without warning.

There are no limitations in the house of ideative feeling,
no restrictions as to coming and going.

Where affluence is incomparable,
I am kept on a soft shore.

She came in a delusive dress
and left the fragrance of love.
Into the blue sky,
amidst unlimited shadows,
and into a stream of songs,
she floats away.

You have hidden Yourself
within the recess of the fragrance of flowers.
You hide behind their colourful petals.
In which unknown depth?
With which heavenly dance?

I know that You love Your illusory play, Your liila.
I accept You therefore as the embodiment of liila.
And within a small bit of that liila is a heavenly mine of diamonds,
established in rhythm and bliss.

You moistened the earth by pouring heavenly nectar on it.

There is no sorrow or complaint in my thought.
The incomplete merely wants to attain the whole.
Pardon the lapses and errors of this meagre entity,
and bathe me with Your grace.

There cannot be any comparison between You and me.
I am a glowworm and You are the moonlight.
Do not ignore my will,
and saturate me with Your ideation.

The moon in the sky smiles
in the spring breeze.

The buds, oblivious of shyness, raise their eyes.
Which friend do they long for?

They say:
“Come near.
Lovingly sit with us.
Let Your feet tinkle in the sandal breeze.
Do not forget our tender hearts.”

I do not want to know how far You are.
Please remain in my mind.
I search You in my mental mirror,
in the shade of young grass,
in the smiling consciousness.

Moving hidden on the path,
what illusory game of Yours is this?
Why won’t You appear to people?

Only those who You love,
want to search You and realise You in their mind.

What for is this jagged and curved speed of Yours?
Why is the mind, moving on a simple and straight path, unable to hold You?
Not even a tiny bit does Your own movement abide

to that eternal truth of clarity and straight-forwardness,
which has been established since ages.

It may be that my understanding is not complete
and that I do not properly comprehend You.
By the ordinary measuring scale, You are immeasurable.
If anyone wants to understand and attain You,

then You escape and are never caught.
And from a distance, You just smile.

my mind constantly calls You.

Whether You hear me or not,
I am unable to know.
I only understand that You are gratifying.

You keep dancing each moment and second,
O Lord.
There is no end to the beginning- and endless.
You were in the past.
You are present now.
And You will remain in the future.
I shall continue searching Your abode.

Rivers and mountains do not obstruct You.
You care not about waves in the ocean.
Around Your flame of light, all dance.
Your name decays sins.

Why didn’t You come during spring?
You came during the intense burning of the summer heat.

Rejecting to be decorated with a crown,
You came during the congregation of ashes and matted hair.

There were flowers of siivantii and bakul
and buds of malatii and madhavii.
Also flowers of campak, cameli and parul were there
but You accepted only the wild dhastur and arka flowers.

There were silken bed sheet,
golden earrings, gem-encircled golden armlets.
There was a garland of shining gems,
but why did You choose instead the wild nut rudraksa?

I had the sincere will to love You.
Attaining You, my desires became fulfilled.

rushes and dances overwhelmingly.

My mental peacock dances as it thinks of You.
Feelings are satiated by Your experience.
Amidst the sweetness of elixir,
and the pride of achievement,
You left a golden fountain.

Floral offerings were in the palms of my folded hands.

Accompanying my tear-soaked eyes and coloured hopes,
was the warm reddishness of life.

I did not know how to call You.
I did not understand what melody to practice.
I used to carry out only ritualistic performances,
yet my eyes were turned towards the path of Your arrival.

Why I loved, I did not know.
Why this liking,
I did not understand either.
You came with tune and melody,
O ever unknown one,
on a colourful morning along bright sun rays.

When You came,
I was in a deep, unconscious sleep.
You sat beside my bed,
yet I did not understand You had arrived.

The strings of Your viina vibrated again and again.
The musical octave began to tinkle.

With the night breeze,
my closed doors opened up.
Yet, I did not open my eyes.

Awakening, I saw Your floral garland lying by my side.
In my mental banner, its fragrance still lingers on.
It is as though it tells me:

“Do not sleep any more.
Look at the eastern morning rays.”

O beloved Lord,
You came to my home,
simply to go away without uttering a word.

Such coming is not real coming.
My mind could not be satisfied.
My feelings could not be expressed.

You played the viina, enchanting my mind
and made the fountain of love flow from the sky.
You told me to love.
But how could I love,
my own mind seemingly being non-existent?

Between You and me the distance is of hundreds of miles.
Yet, my mind remains saturated by Your thought.

Melodies of diipak and meghmallar resound.
Upon them You have spread Your divine effulgence.

You came flowing with effulgence.
Yet I did not understand You would leave.

As my pleasure receded, sorrow arose.
Who would have ever thought this to happen?

You came in the silent night,
on a quiet path on which the petals of jasmine had dropped,
riding the golden chariot of victory.

I did not know who were You looking for.
I imagined not You would snatch away my mind.
To me, this arrival of Yours was beyond imagination,
that blissful dream beyond language and thought.

As the autumn storm blew,
He went away like a restless cloud.
Where did He go?
How may I get Him?
I do not know what these feelings are,
emerging in the sweet ideation of this illusory play.

You came close and loved me.
Now, do not go away.

There is glow in Your / my smile,
and effulgence on Your / my face.
Do not tear the bondage of love.

Many people tell many stories.
Shall the diamond in my heart ever cause any pain?
In dream, I weave a net of Your sweetness.
Do not let it dry up.

Your loving face reflects in the recess of my mind.
The thought of the Great makes my heart oscillate.
By the gem that I mentally create, sorrows are removed,
pacifying the consciousness of my heart.

Crossing the lane of the juhi flowers,
O beloved,
You came that morning.

You came with the glow of the restless breeze.
You had a decorative mark applied to Your eyes.

All were in deep slumber in this materialised world,
caught in profound cimmerian darkness.

Vitality was stunned,
and movements obstructed,
within the silence of fur walls.

Amongst the speechless vegetation, there were no feelings.
There was no tinkling sound on the strings of the viina.
By Your arrival, language appeared,

to cause a stir of feelings in the mouth of initial living beings.

I searched You inside and outside.
Yet You did not appear to me.

I went to many known and unknown places,
to pilgrim waters,
visiting temples after temples.
Yet I did not find Your form,
O formless one.

I did not find You in mountains and caves,
nor at the altar of my own deity.
At the end I saw You smiling within myself,
O ever unknown one.

The campa bud told that spring had come,
creating a song within each flower.

Love with only pleasure and smile.
Sketch the swing of glow on the plate of memory.

With heavenly elixir, fulfil life.
By the humming of the bees, pull all close.
Remove the intense inertia.
Let there be no end to Your divine game.

I obtained You within the atom.
Your beautiful form is established in nebulae.
Your love song is played on the viina.
The universe is an expression of Your imagination.

O unseen effulgence,
ultimate desideratum,
one beyond path and speech,
O sweet feeling!
You are the ultimate goal beyond achievement and shortage.
Do not forget me ever.

A game of light and darkness goes on,
O Lord,
in this creation of Yours.
Though light is rushing all around
fog approaches to cover it.

After a moon's smile, a dark night comes.
After enlightened nights, dark times come.
The stars, decorated like lamps in the sky,
suddenly vanish in rain and sunlight.

A baby's smile resembles a blooming flower.
The incomparably beautiful rainbow and the autumn moon
do not remain for a long time.

They lose themselves in the depth of time.
I therefore long for Your shelter, during both pain and pleasure.

Should a storm arise,

let me face it.
At the time of surging floods,
take service from me.

When the earth's layers move,
when a volcano erupts,
when a bird’s nest is blown away,
arouse sympathy in my mind.

I am a mere microcosm,
devoid of everything.
Make me compassionate.
Saturating me with cosmic ideation,
take me to the service of the afflicted.

Bengal is my country and I love it.

I cry in its plight and smile in its joy.

The brothers and sisters of Bengal are my playmates.
Their hearts fills mine with love.

Its fruits, flowers and water,
the smiling lotus of dawn,
dispel the fog of gloom that had accumulated for eras.

Its hopes and aspirations,
its charming language
find fruition in Universalism.
The spread of intuition in its boys and girls,
O Lord,
shall lead to merging with the Cosmic idea.

(in this song, Bengal can be changed with the name of one’s own country - source is an Ananda Marga magazine from that time found in the Berlin Sector sectorial office)

With a garland of songs around Your neck,
You came that night through the jatika lane.

Along the oscillation of this dreamy game,
I float into the unknown even to this day.

Oblivious of the notes of the musical octave,
You sang a love-filled song,
along the strings of Your viina,
in hundreds of ways.

That song shall never be lost.
Nor shall it pause even during eras to come.
It shall float in the great space,
beyond the glowing stars,
along the sonic lane.

Being submerged in the ocean of forms,
I found the precious-most, formless gem.

With smiles and gestures I attained that long-cherished and dearest entity.

That precious-most gem is not to be found even in a quarry of gems.
Whenever I look into the sky and into the air,

I see all things but one.
Into my fold, I brought that one today.

This gem cannot be recognised in light.
This mental treasure glows in the darkness.
I know it is to be bound
by the bonding of love.
Yet, not understanding, I die with fear.

He remained unknown and unrecognised.

His gentle and maddening sandal breeze,
floats in the great space.

He remains merged in the crimson light of the dawn.
He is present at the end of the night in the eastern sky.
The night, that had been bereft of hope and language,
actively dances due to His assurance.

Under His waves,
I rise and drop.
In the flow of His love,
with sweet appearance,
on the tinkling viina,
a melody plays.

Come into the arbor of madhavii flowers,
O Shyam,
intoxicating my mental honeybee.

Open wide the shield of my nucleus
and fill both my hands with mental honey.
In this madhavii arbor of mine,
which waits in expectation of You,
each moment and second seems to be futilely counting time.

Whether You shall come or not, I do not know,
to fulfill and bloom in the endeavour of my sadhana (spiritual practice).
Will not the soft, love-permeated water pull You close?

Come in the groom-like adornment of one who all respect,
with decorations of flowers and the tint of song.

Come with a sweet face and an active mind,
with smiling lips and intense feelings.

In this rainy time full of darkness
my mind floats on,
in the beauty of the deep green bamboo grove.

I wonder whether that beloved one of mine will come or not.
I wonder whether He will play the flute or not.

I wonder whether He will stir the depth of the soft water of the Yamuna river.
Will He not enchant me, tinkling melodious notes on His viina?
I wonder whether to consider this real love.

Outside, clouds’ outpour awaken tunes.
Inside my home, unseen, tears flow from my eyes.
By the upsurge of floods my whole world has become isolated.
Will He ever return?

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

In the staticity of rainfall
my mind floats to the deep green vegetation
and enjoys the beauty of the cane forest.

Will my beloved not come and play His flute?
By the banks of the Yamuna river to my delight?
The scale of the seven notes
my mind enjoys the flow like this.
I wonder if to consider this real love?

Outside it is raining
and the sound of that rain
shatters my drowsiness.
Unknown to all, inside my house
tears are flowing from my eyes.

You came and played the viina,
the tinkling of which floats on even today.

You taught melodies, made me hear songs,
and made the viina’s strings appear within my mind.

You enchanted the long asleep world,
by bringing blissful pleasure.
That gesture of Yours, that subtle undercurrent flow,
rains a golden fountain into one’s heart.

Do not go far away, remain, surrounding all.
In one’s mental casket, Your love resonates.
It puts me in trance beyond description,
in Your beauty, affection and eternal love.

and decorated my mental altar with floral fragrance.

Become a guest of my mental land,

all the honey in my heart and the illumination of the moon,

spreading the smile of the moon.

With the soft sweet sandal breeze,
You made endless joy overflow.

I do not know what is Your style,
nor do I understand what You wish to convey.
What does one want, in whom lies all fullfillment?
I wish I knew, beyond day and night.

You have always been giving,
and never wanted to take.
What would the Macrocosm take? Tell me.
Whatever exists belongs to You,

From the moon’s light-filled land,
anointed with floral fragrance,
which was the night when You came?

O enhancer of sweetness,
pleasing in experience,
charmer of mind,
with what expectation did You come?

The pollen of ketakii flower even today tells of this event.
The juhi flower is afflicted, yet it still sings of Your victory.
The tagar and camelii group of flowers vibrate by the experience
and in seclusion create songs of unlimited love.

The wild deer even today cherishes that environment.
Materialising its call, the peacock is noticed.

Frogs joyously croak with tears of love.
In the kadamba and tamal groves even today the peacock’s cry resonates.

These garlands of songs
I create for You.
Not finding any pearls or gems for threading,
I use only these songs.

I pick up flowers in the morning
and, with the thread of maya,
thread them into garlands in the evening.
Remembering You constantly,
I thread together words.

In all the worship of my life,
in the hundreds of solitary searches,
in my struggle with the phenomenal,
I discard all agonies.

O destroyer of illusory attachments,
charmer of mind,
entity beyond worlds,
ever intense bliss!

With the glory of name and the greatness of idea,
You seek life,
O ancient Purusa!

O Parama Purusa,
You are the ultimate goal!
You pervade the living and nonliving in the same way.
All atoms and molecules are Your expressions.

You are both life and death.

You are the rendezvous of dance and rhythm.
You are with all.
You are the infinite essence of nectar.
You were present in the past,
You exist now
and You shall remain,
flooding era after era.

I have been searching You
in the sky, on this earth and in the netherworld
but You never came into my fold.

O quickly pleased Lord,
is it due to my faults?
I had no knowledge whatsoever of spiritual endeavour.

You are not revealed by scriptures or philosophy.
You cannot be touched by the sandal breeze.
You are in minds and keep dancing in feelings.
You cannot be purchased for any price.

You cannot be recognised by literature or action.
You are not restricted by mornings or soft evenings.
You make insiders out and outsiders in,

playing Your liila in innumerous ways,
You reside with deep insight
in the innermost feelings of hearts.

On the foggy night,
during darkness,
You came with silent feet
but remained ever unknown.

The night was covered with darkness,
and in my eyes was the drowsiness of sleep.
In this endless and infinite darkness
You arose from the underworld to colour my mind.

With the fall of Your footsteps,
the shining melody of mainjiira slowly arose
and awareness entered the depth of my core.
But when I saw You, You smilingly hid Yourself.

You came by Your own game,
oscillating atoms and molecules,

by Your sheer will.
I offer my salutations to You millions of times.

Who knows what for You came
into the stupefied mind of the unexpressed.
Remaining absolutely pure,
You create innumerous waves each moment.

You applied colourful patches.

carrying articles of my hopes.
With the appearance of the darkness-destroying colour,
agonies were removed.

With the flow of colours, encircling beauty,
You oscillate and amaze my heart.
Materialising vitality with Your liila, the journey began.

You told You would come again.

The moon reappeared, showering illumination.
Yet You did not return to my home.

O beloved,
life of all lives,
by Your effulgence all three worlds are illuminated,
with the unlimited bliss of existence and shine.

The microcosmic consciousness of all lies sheltered in You.

I kept my mental honey carefully preserved for You,
within the nucleus of my core.

When You come, I shall offer it all to You.
With merciful eyes, look me at least once.

If You do not come,
useless is the decoration on my chignon.
Useless is the decorated bed of illumination,

And a waste it is marking welcome decorations and preparing a seat for You.
Useless was my dark eye’s decoration

and so was my flower-threaded garland.

For You,

awakening with an endless impulse of feelings,

Why did I love?
The answer to this “why” I do not know.

Why did I like so much?
Who snatched away all my feelings?

Why, during calm nights,
thinking constantly about Him,
forgetting painful feelings,
do I seek Him?

Why, on seeing Him during meditation,
do I become unmindful and,
losing awareness of the external world,
I become stupefied counting moments?

Why, in the stream of feelings,
do I go on merging in Him and,
moving beyond pains and pleasures,
I long for Him?
Even after understanding,
I am unable to explain.

He came close and snatched away the sleep from my eyes.

Whether it was due to love or not,
that He stole my “I” feeling?

In the fragrance of flowers,
I find the fragrance of His heart.
From the colourful beauty of the eastern horizon,
His particular Puravii tune comes floating.

In all the songs and dances of the world,
His love and rhythm is established.
In all desires and achievements,
He reigns supreme.

Into my mind,
why did He secretly come today,
who knows?
Even if unwilling, He constantly floats,
without resistance by whatever obstruction,
swinging in the colours of the spring month,
emanating through the frenzied wind.

O Shyam,
come, with sweet feelings, into my flow of thoughts.

The Yamuna river of my heart has dried.
Do provide it a loving touch.

My bud has dropped without ever blooming,
without ever being caressed by the sunlight.
My honey, preserved with much pain,
has dried without ever oozing.

I expected You would come close
and talk to me lovingly,
smiling softly with a pleasing mind.
Even today, with that hope,
I look at the path.

During the darkness of my night,
who are You,
who came to this solitude?

This, I could not have imagined even in dream.
Is that You? Secretly tell me.

I was unmindful and engrossed in materialistic thoughts.
Why did You provide me with consciousness? Who knows?

You made the current of consciousness flow in my mind,
by the rise of Your causeless mercy.

I had no earlier acquaintance with You.
I had never exchanged words of “how do you do?” and “hello”.
I had never invited You but remained far in isolation.

You maintain the universe all by Yourself.
You move only forward and never back.
You do not allow the wheels of Your cart to stop.
You lift all onto Your lap without reservation.
O beloved,
by Your attributes the world becomes enchanted.

You love and create Your divine game.
You are both harsh and soft.
You are there for those who have none.

Below the niipa trees,

O most beloved,
You appeared under the branches
of this blooming campaka tree.

With the gentle glow of red kinshuk,
and teeth resembling pearls, You smiled.
I cannot forget the event of that day.

Its memory and song cannot be wiped.
In the moonlit night
the breeze was fragrant with madhavii flowers.
Remembering it makes me restless each moment.

Hundreds of feelings are mingled with that date.
Its sweet awareness lingers on.
Its dance and song,
carried by the breeze of feelings,
bring heavenly oscillations
to my heart and mind.

From the sky, the sound of the dambaru drum resounds.
Who is that Rudra who has come today?

His long and matted tuft of hair has opened up.
He has dressed Himself for performing the tandava dance.

Visana is being blown with frightening sound.
Engrossed in which thought is Pinakii dancing?
He awakens all with lightening speed,
striking thunders on the peaks of mountains.

O Lord Shiva,
pause a while.
Distribute Your divinity to all.
Whatever You want, we shall give.
Please accept it.

O tranquil Lord Shiva,
king of the three worlds!
O holder of Ganga,
O king of dance!

dambaru - a small hand held drum used by Lord Shiva
Rudra - the deity that makes people cry, Shiva
Visana - a long horn used by Lord Shiva
Pinakii - Lord Shiva, holder of the bow shaped instrument

On that cloudy night,
amidst the dense darkness,
You came with silent feet this time.

I did not open the door.
I did not ask what for You had come to my home.

Outside it was raining profusely.
The wetness around my eyes had washed away its kajal / makeup.
The water from the sky and the water from my eyes

had unified in the rainy wind.

Wiping my eyes,
I saw that You were present in my home,
making the outside and the inside become one.
Within a moment,
You broke the prison boundary of me being outside and You inside.

How is dancing possible at the time of work?
And You want me to dance amidst activities.

I totally fail to make You understand.

In the early morning time,
there is rush and hustle of jobs.
How can I get to play and dance? Tell me.
In the evening, returning home,
the surface of the earth is engulfed in darkness.
Tell me, where is there time in my hands for dancing?

I go to fetch wood, searching in hills and meadows.
I go for planting and harvesting paddy in far away fields.
Tell me, how can I please You by dancing?

For You, my whole life,
I have been practicing Your song.
Still I do not know,
O Lord,
what would satisfy You listening to.

I rehearse melodies at midnight,
and continue to do so in the morning,
at noon and in the evening.
Taking Your name and ideation,
my mind gets a special feeling
and I restlessly long to sing for You.

I practice with flowers,
on moonlit nights, amidst the soft breeze.
I also sing during stormy and dark nights,
considering everything Your gift.

I was unconscious in deep sleep.
You made me understand the opportunity.

I had never seen anything like this.
I could have never imagined, not even in dream.
What the stealer of mind can do
You showed me on this day of my life.

O beloved,
I did not know how to repay You.
I shall think about how to do it.
When You shall be unmindful,
I shall pour this mind of mine unto Your feet.

In the morning illumination,
You came with a smiling face,
bringing articles.

In that light infinite power was present,
the essence of hundreds of pains and pleasures.

That glow went far and farther,
spreading in all directions with dance and rhythm,
surrounding the sky, air and the underworld,
conquering place after place.

That effulgent illumination
scattered on earth and in heaven, moment after moment.
But You remained isolated,

unseen, in the vaejayantimala flower’s core.

I have been wandering about,
searching for the origin of life.

In all expressions,
be they flowers, fruits or leaves,
I find the same entity.

Whatever good there is in life,
whatever inert or dark there may be,
beneath all,
I find the same effulgence,
the attraction of only one.

Numerous plays take place in one singular entity.
ithin one cosmic mind,
containing nectar in its core,
many expressions manifest.

told:

“Do not to fear.

who loves You,
that same entity,
I worship too.

That creator belongs to all.
He is pure, unlimited and beginningless.
Don’t You know that my darkness also calls His effulgence?

That consciousness is above fear.
It does not heed to prayers or repentance.
Hiding within the deep core of mind,
He provides inspiration.

“The witnessship that lies quiescent in every entity is the Purusa.”
He who does not stay away from oneself,

isn’t He Purusa?
With dance and rhythm,
all gestures merge in Him only.”

That divine bondage,
which I had been longing for,
why has it not come?

In the darkness of my nights
as well as in the brightness of my days,
He remains far.

I wanted a loving devotional link with Him,
to gradually merge in the absolute
by relinquishing inertial darkness.
I hoped that by calling Him constantly,
with the devotional repetition of my mantra,
He would provide His effulgent consciousness.

I wanted a bondage of love,
so that this microcosm would rise and become cosmic.
He can fulfil the impossible,

making me love the entire existence.

There the river merges into the sea,

The seagulls and balii ducks smilingly look for shelter in the wintery cold.

People there are very good-minded
and are filled with the light of love.
It is unbearable to see the darkness of misery on their face.
Come for them.

Come to their home,

With experiences and feelings songs are charged

The sun rises at the tune of songs.
The crimson colour of the sun

The love in songs appears in the pollen of flowers
and brings rhythm to life.

Due to songs, nectar is sustained
and life finds fulfilment.
Creation, sustenance and destruction

Far removing the dark clouds of pain,
songs are sung wholeheartedly on this morning full of light.

There is no outbursts of fire from volcanos.
Neither is there any lamenting due to people being hurt by falling volcanic rock.
There is no roar of storms as a result of the sudden increase or decrease of atmospheric pressure.
There are no widespread fires in the green fields.

There is no dance of devils in society.
There is no exploitation that would prevent food from satiating people’s hunger.
There is no death of living beings due to intense cold.
There is only the will to do good.

That unknown one is the eternal stealer of mind

In the unknown light of the morning sun
I gently float into consciousness.
That unknown one has bound each atom of my existence
to a garland of smiling flowers.

do stay for a moment in the festivity of light.
In this light my heart floats while thinking of You,
warming the blood of my life.

I do not remember the date and day of my acquaintance with You.

Only You remain,
filling my mind my whole life.

I had no worldly wealth.
By attaing You,
I attained vasts amounts of wealth.

At the bosom of this microcosm,
reflection of BÁLU was made.
On leafless branches,
new, tenderly vibrating leaves appeared.
The beauty of rainbows shone through the deep dark clouds.
This all happened by Your grace.

The flower that had been lying on the path with neglect,
was strung on a garland by the garland maker and hung in my garden.
Into it You poured colour and fragrance.

I hear of You again and again,
and think of You day and night.

Your sweet smile
floats through floral fragrance
and swings to and fro in a unique way.

Your footprint remains imprinted in my mind.
The petals of Your floral garland
are present in my garden of memories.
The rhythm of Your movement brings speed to my life,
O nearest, yet ever unknown one!

You are with me for all time.
O champion of all,
You have etched the mark of victory on my forehead.
Holding the water of the immensely vast ocean in a drop,
You merge the unit with the Cosmic.

I do not know, nobody knows,
when in the beginning You had advented.

There was no date or hour,
no sky nor space,
nothing existed on earth.

There was no dust particle,
no rain, cloud or water.
There was no sunlight or atmosphere.
There was no humming of bees on flower petals.

There was no death nor touch of nectar.
There was no night nor joy of day.
There was no scattering of light at whatsoever time.
All were sleeping, dormant in the grand ocean of time.

If You do not come to my home,
useless is my waiting for You, counting time.

Useless is the floral decoration of my altar,
that has been filled with colourful sweetness.

A waste are the flowers of bela and malati,
shefalii, campak, camelii and juhi.
Useless is the worship with five lamps
and the singing of songs filled with the essence of love.

A waste is the floral garland decoration of my chignon
and the rehearsing of songs in the mandakranta rhythm.
Useless is the binding cosmetic belt on my waist.

I remain awaiting You,
pouring melodies into forms and counting time,
meditating (sitting) seemingly in vain.

You poured Your unlimited love
into the stream of infinite ideation.

You are the eternal companion,
being the essence of essences of this earth.
You are the great true and eternal ocean,
within which millions of drops and bubbles dance with divine bliss,
tinted with the sweetness of Your lotus.

I too am a drop in Your stream,
smiling and crying,
alighting and rising with Your song.
Within Your effulgence I find the rhythm of life.
You are my beginning and end.

You exist and I exist.
In this world there is no third entity.

I poured out the entire sweetness of my mind,
longing to have Your personal contact.

Today, the Tantras and Vedas have become one.
There is no distinction between processes of worship
such as nyasa, breath control, meditation and knowledge.
All cynicism and dirt has been removed.

Only one moon smiles in the yoga posture of joy.

There is no third entity in the whole of the three worlds.
There is only one aggregate of the universe,

only one basis of all vibrations.
All colours and hues have become unified.
There remains only one desideratum of life.

O beloved.

Coming through the new leaves of spring,
He smiled and poured nectar and colour.

There was no one else present that night.
No one was awake on that moonlit night.
No footstep or ankle bell sound was heard.

I was unmindful in deep drowsiness
and did not know respectful invocation.
I did not paint any decorative welcoming mark either.
You came nonetheless, recognising the path.

I have now attained You.
I shall not forget You anytime.

You have bound all the people with the thread of love.
You vibrated all, pleasing them with melody and tunes.

You aroused consciousness in all
by touching the innermost strings of the lyre of hearts.
You have filled every pore

of the universe with music and dance.

In the merciless heat of summer,
in the heavy downpour of rains,
in the shady jasmine flowers,
in the dew drops of late autumn,
in the frost of winter,
in the breeze of spring,
You have made Your presence felt.

after a long time,
we have been newly introduced to one another.

I had been drifting from the momentum of begininglessness
and You caught hold of me.

I felt pleasure and pain,
I sometimes smiled
and I became restless at other times.
O unknown traveler,
O guest,
I sometimes forgot the count of time.
At other times, I remembered.

Having felt Your soft and sweet touch,
I started dancing in utter joy.
O radiation of effulgence,
O embodiment of supreme love,
with Your love only,
I exist on this earth.

Days come and go amidst sightings of consciousness.
Yet You do not look towards me.

Why I am so helpless, O Lord?

You created the world with light and darkness
and kept me in sun and shade.

With or without the crimson light of dawn,
You make the intense sun rise from it.
The tender nucleus of the flower burns in the heat
and grass burns in fire.

Your special creation of the universe,
is both soft and hard.
Sometimes it is very hard and sometimes it is tender.
Why do You throw hard stones on me

amidst the apathy of this desert thirst?

With Your bow, You played the twang of annihilation on Your viina.

All the hundreds of accumulated sinful forces,
were instantly burnt to ashes.

Removing the non-essence,
You brought essence
and made all understand
that You are the quintessence of this world.

Having forgotten You,
I had desired the inert
and did not want to hold my small nest in the sky.
Having closed my eyes,
I had been seeing an ocean of darkness
and did never observe glimpses of light.

O Lord,
on which ocean’s shore did our first acquaintance occur?

I have forgotten the date and the value of this meeting.
The only thing that remains in my mind is the love that You had filled in me.

You came with the shine of dawn,
extending Your feet that had been washed by the dew.
You had the effulgence of a pearl, contained within a reddish tinted shell.

You wanted to leave,
rejecting me like the colourful torch of the evening hue.
But I did not let You go

and kept You within my mind for endless duration.

The waves that arose in the firmament of my mind,
amdist the fragrance of meditation,
cannot be ignored or obstructed.

In that firmament, by observing whom
is my mental peacock dancing unwinkingly?

No one knows, yet we know.
We did not tell that story to anyone.
That pure attractive effulgence snatched away my mind.

Whether anybody accepts it or not,
due to experience, I remain convinced.
He secretly awakened the thrill of love in my sleeping mind.

At the end of winter,
spring came and told me:
“O brother, arise and come long with me today.

Who is playing overwhelmingly the kindling melody through the warm wind?
Keeping Him in the mind, come with me.

The tender leaves have grown into bunches of dry, matured leaves.
The soft kimshuk flowers smile in their abode in the forest.
In this environment, with the impulse of love,

decorate Him with floral adornment.”

The external world is full of beauty.
Why should I remain exhausted by sorrows?
With smiles, accumulating my entire joy,
I shall adore that festive spring.

I have been loving You since ages.
But I attained You only after much time.

What is Your divine play?
Why is hard to understand?
Why did You keep me in darkness?

I had planned that the whole day, from morning onwards,
I would continue to work at my own strength.

By noon You made me realise
that even a blade of grass moves only by Your grace.

By Your mercy,
the earth revolves,
the six seasons come
and rain falls from the clouds.
Into the sky and air,
the essence of Your sweetness is scattered,
filling all with the nectar of consciousness.

Knowledge and actions lose their way
and wallow at the dust of Your feet.
In the oscillations of nectar,
love appears and honey ensnares the bee.

only want to give to You
and remain engrossed in Your rhythm and melody,

For You, the whole of night,
I have been decorating the door with decorations of welcome.

I picked up parul flowers with smiles and with my own hands,
and included bakul flowers in my garland.

Keeping the welcoming decorations of mango leaves and buds by the pitcher,
I am sitting at the edge of the path.

Series of waves in the ocean of my mind dance,
thinking of You.
My mental peacock looks at the sky,

O Bhaerava,
You came at an odd time,
with a dark mark on Your forehead.

Whatever You got, You obtained by tearing it away,
without pausing Your speed even for a moment.

Many birds have become nestless.
Many livestocks and humans lost their shelter.
Many tears flowed away into the floods.
Yet You did not look at all this even for a moment.

By the pressure of rising water, shells got wet,
and pearls got sunk into the deep bottom.
The lovefull mind came rushing forth,
to protect the distressed in the world.

I thought that I would forget You.
But how can I forget? Tell me.

When I think about not to see You, then You rise at the horizon.
You smile like sandal paste in the intense sun at noon.

You float through the fragrance of the ketakii flower.
During the prewinter time, You dance as the tall grass
and make the white clouds swing.

Amidst the pleasant smell of winter paddy,
in the silvery snow of winter,
in the colourful decorations of spring,
through the colourful wind,
You provide indications of Your presence.

O unknown traveler,
look at me for a while with compassion.

Other than You,
I do not know anything.
Other than You,
I do not think of anyone in my meditation.

Your love, song and incomparable glow illuminates my life.
With what floral thread have You tied me?

That thread is unbreakable, even if I wanted to break it.

There is no end to the narration of Your glories.
I observed, thinking about them, that they do not terminate.
In Your vow and Your essence of sweetness,

I float in the rays of the moonlight.

I have been looking for You
with the quiver of beautiful hands.
You came, decorated with charming flowers.

Wanting You by the attraction of siivantii (hedge plant),
You came upon a silver lotus.

You provide to me whatever I want
and mix Your colour into it.
Wishing to hold You in the colour of spring,
I attained You on a lotus flower.

You made me understand the meagreness of material desires
and rectified the defects of my thinking.

I wanted what I wanted with ego
but You brought me to the dust of Your feet.

Longing and achievement is with me only.
For You, everything is present at all times,
whatever was or was not,
whenever or whenever not.

Why did not You give me Your mind in return?

You gave me love and spoke about various things,
with coloured lips full of affection.

The sweetness of all the three worlds is within You,
O friend.

O merciful one,
You are ocean of nectar.
You are the drop of soothing sandal paste,
applied on burning agonies.
I am unable to bind You.

Saturated with the crimson colour of dawn,
absorbed in the sweetness of the casket of love,
You are full and I am empty.
Still, You have kept me at Your feet.

but You appeared to me in meditation.

I wanted You with ego
but You came close by humbleness.

I wanted to be illuminated with the light of knowledge,

ut, forgiving my mistake,
You honoured me by letting me bath in the flow of love.

I searched You with paraphernalia
and by performing many a ritualistic worship,

Why do You remain far away, my beloved?

I see You in the crimson dawn,
but I am unable to tie You with the floral thread.

Flowers have bloomed in various colours
and seek the sweetness of Your love.
Coming a bit close only for a moment,
You went away, ignoring the tears in my eyes.

A red tint drifted towards the west in the evening,
even so my mind wanted to keep You held.

You hid beyond the horizon in the darkness of the evening,
sending out an intense slumber.

O ocean full of affection and mercy,

I do not know loss or gain.
I just want the touch of Your love.

I am unable to get any explanation
for why the devotees are able to attain You.
Why would this be so only in this life?
Lives after lives,
the love for Krsna is such that the devotees
find You in the heaven of their minds.

There is nowhere to go other than to Krsna.
Neither do I want any entity other than Krsna.
I just go on watching with my eyes
Him who has come as Taraka Brahma.

I salute You, millions of times,

In the world of consciousness, You are grandeur.
You are the eternal emperor of the boundary of time,
not needing to consider what is timely or untimely.

There is no comparison to You.

By philosophy and scriptures,
no one binds You or will ever do.

Still human beings want to hold You,
with disciplines of dos and don’ts,
though You are beyond the mind.
The mental Lord cannot be bound
by mental restrictions and mental endeavour.

O Lord of all,
You are within all.
You never come touching the earth.
Still, people want to hold You.
Why? I do not know.

When I became acquainted with You,
that day and date and time,
even today, persists in my mind.

The light of that experience appears pleasing to my eyes,
and even today, on the screen of memory, in front of my eyes, it moves.

The sun of that day plays the trumpet,
pouring sweetness onto my mental eyes.
Who would forget this event? Can it ever be destroyed by forgetfulness?
The one who is present now shall remain in the world beyond time.

The moon of that night brought only love,
pouring unlimited honey into my non-bifurcated mind.
That memory even now appears as quivering history,
and still dances, diminishing my pains.

I had first thought of You in the flow of my life.

That is why for the sake of my light You broke the stoneprison.

If anybody would ever ask me to explain and tell who my beloved is,
I shall reply: “Excuse me, He smiles in each and every star.”

O my beloved,
accept my salutations, millions of times.
The gem of my dark house was covered under stones only momentarily.
Today, removing those stones,

the one who is difficult to attain, became known,
He is not lost.

O Rudra Bhaerava,
by Your roar,
the earth started shaking.

O one holding a bow in hand,
Your long horn thunders with hissing lightning.

On land and water, and in the expanse of the sky,
Your horn resounds in ears.

Though the enemies of welfare
had expected the dark night to remain,
it instead vanished.

Though the group of owls
had thought that the darkness of fog would intensify,
they were blinded

by the assembled flames of Rudra Viina.

Today, amidst the fragrance of bakul flowers,
and the chaetra season’s breeze,
I do not know whom my heart wants.

In intoxicating delusion,
again and again,
towards whom it looks in heaven?

All the load of pain existing in the three spheres,
all the burden of dishonouring agonies,

by the overwhelming waters of the tide of liveliness,
You washed away in hundreds of flows.

Today, bring the far ones close!
Listen! The drum is sounding in the sky.
The frenzied wind from the mountain range
blows without hesitation.

You are in the touch of sweet moonlight,
and in the song-stirred sky.

By Your love, the papia bird sings.
The world is spellbound by Your glow.
Remembering You brings showers of sweetness.
You are present in the joy of spring.

O companion for all time,
You remain unknown and unrecognised.
You are the very nectar of consciousness.
You never leave anyone alone
and remain as the mind’s bright light.

the garland which was threaded with only love,
do never throw away,
O Lord,
may their hearts attain You also.

The song that was created by only the love of Your ideation -
the melody that was rehearsed with only solitary faith -
drenched with their tears,

I hold Your feet,
and pray for Your mercy.

In the depth of ideation,
and filled with sweetness,
the bunch of madhavii flowers sing with hum.

The matter is only that He ignores my suppressed pain,
that He is not attending to my call,

in which the tinkling of my viina is embedded.

I heard that He had come during the intense summer’s sun,
along with flowers of bela and bakul, to sooth from the heat.

Along with the fragrance of ketakii flowers,
through the flow of rain,
He had come.
But due to neglect I did not look at Him.
He came during the winter with shefalii flowers,
that were mixed in the snow.
Because I did not want to look at it, we were not introduced to one another.
That mistake of mine, He did not forgive and overlooked me.

During the intense cold,
I was inert and did not observe Him within the whiteness of snow.
During spring,

at the end of all pains,
in the sweet night,
I remained intoxicated
and did not endeavour to search for Him.

in my mind and in all minds,
what trap did You set?

Looking for honey in the flowers,
the bee comes for its particular purpose.
You allow it to come and allow it to sit.
You attract all close to You,
thus inviting blame.

From heated-up sinners with utterly depraved minds
You remove dirt,
O supreme ascetic.
You do not have any receptacle.
You are everyone’s shelter.
You provide peace to all and remove sorrows.

Unexpressed, beyond the periphery of time,
tell me with what ideation You have existed.

When no second entity existed,
with whom did You then exist?

Thinking and pondering over it,
I lose my capacity to recollect.
There were no fundamental factors.
There was neither citta, aham nor mahat (“objective mind” or “ectoplasmic mind-stuff”, “doer I“, “knower I” or “existential I feeling”).
No one surrounded You.

In the unexpressed attributionless entity
how did this grand creation occur?
Unable to know,
when I try to fathom the state before Your liila,
all logic vanishes in defeat.

So much of work is left pending on this earth.
Do not keep me bound to home.

All in the world are afflicted with pain,
distressed with sorrow, agony and disease.
The shefali flowers and the young grass are broken and being trampled upon.
Don’t You see and feel for them?

Flowers used to bloom in the morning with a sweet smile,
They have dropped, sorrowful, bitten by insects.

The buds of campa flowers have been plucked by gusts of winds.
Don’t You ever think about them?

By the illumination of sweet moonlight,

and my eyes were filled with Your reflection.

The sky was decorated with white clouds,
lingering on in the moonlight.
The sandal breeze brought quiver,

All the flows of my mind merged,

expressing their salutation to You in unison.

In the unbarred cosmos,
with the first expression of sound,
creation began to emerge,
like a colourful rainbow in the sky,
when You,
O Lord of creation, preservation and destruction,
woke up.

In the first stage of creation there was no adjective to describe
there were no beautiful forms,

there were no decorations
nor were there the murmuring of leaves or the warbling of birds.
There was nothing in fact,

O matchless one!

Then there came the water, the flowers, the fruits
and there came allpervading sweetness.
There also came human heart, the repository of nectar.
There came all the goodness.

The forces of darkness vanished.
You came into the lives of all,
O unmatched one!

O beloved,
with Your arrival the dark nights suddenly vanished.

Everyone, wherever they were, became charmed,
and the load of ego was crushed.

While searching You within my mind
I became absorbed in the nectar pond of Your ideation,
both within and externally.

All differentiations and shortcomings surrendered at Your feet.

Without any fear or tiredness my mind was purified.
I discarded all shame and hatred and became free from worries.
I do not admit any bondage,

nor entertain any expectation,
so long as Your blessings remain with me.

Why am I dying in search of You?

You desire that which is undesirable.
You like me though You don’t love me.
Amid the world of feelings,
in the stream of voidness,
You pull me toward Your work.

What is undesirable that only You do.
To the small “I” You provide credit and importance.
Churning the core of mind by knowledge and action,

You have been loving me,
but never wanted anything in return.

Whatever I gave You,
nothing of that did You accept.

The moon goes on pouring its soft moonlight,
without any consideration of what is proper or improper.
You too went on pouring love constantly,

without any consideration of who is mean or virtuous.

In the night of pouring rain amidst pitch darkness,
the fragrance of the ketakii flower floats on,

without a care as to darkness or light.
Similarly, the resistance that the comet faces in the beautiful sky
does not hinder You from continuing to love.

You reside within the core of my heart.
Yet, O Lord, You remain so far away.

You do not want to appear to my eyes.

I am unable to find You within monasteries or temples,
nor in the roots of the five pious trees.

And yet You provide inspiration to my mind
and oscillate with swing.
Who can understand this divine game?

You are within both the known and the unknown.
You keep churning my feeling of “I”ness.
I cannot exist without You.
In this way You remain, filling my entire life.

Saying You wouldn’t,
saying You wouldn’t,
saying You wouldn’t,
saying You wouldn’t,
why did You go away, leaving me?

The tree that You planted
has become filled with flowers and fruits.

I know You as the essence of the world
and accept You as heavenly stream.
There is nothing, even if everything be there,
if You do not pull me unto You with a smiling face.

You are the awareness of speech in the worldly flow of language.
To those without visions, You are the visible polestar.
Visualizing Your face, resonating along to Your voice,
I forget the desert’s fiery flames.

On that rain-drenched night,
there was no trace of light on the horizon.
I was awake hoping for You.

The stormy rain was pouring down heavily.
The roar of clouds echoed.
Into the northeastern corner of my mind,
You applied balm over my pain.
I was looking on unmindfully.

Many clouds came and went amidst frightening lightning.
Many ketakii pollen particles floated away as if crying.
Even today that frightening night

fills the memory of my sorrow-spread lane.

As ocean full of rising waves,
O Bhaerava,
what form of Yours is this?

Revolving and dancing continuously,
what totality of threat!

You darken the morning light within moments,
removing the heavenly glow of divinity.
You are unrestrained,
Your lock-filled chignon resembles a gifted moon on a raised peacock’s tail.

Annihilating poison is within You,
O Niilakantha.
You keep with You the stick and the rope.
You are both beautiful and charming,
with fire on Your forehead
and a garland of sunflowers around Your neck.

that I am unable even to think of attaining You!

In individual and collective association You remain close,
yet You do not allow Yourself to be realised.

O sweetness of the soft lotus in the mud,
moon of the sky,
unlimited and beginningless entity,
hidden within one’s core,
O inaccessible friend,
You do not allow Yourself to be bound.

You create Your endless liila each moment,
O Illuminator of the world.

Understanding that love
is beyond the capacity of any language.

I love You day and night,
in the stream of action
of desires and achievements.

I love You in the moonlit night,
along the game of hide and seek
that takes place between the moon and the cloud.
And in the dark new moon night,
I love Your darkness.

You appear in the ocean of effulgence,
and smile in the blade of grass.
You dance at a distance and come close too.
But You do not come within the reach of my holding and bonding You.

and that You shall come back again after going away.
You destroy darkness.

He is present in my mind each moment.
I am unable to forget Him even by mistake.

He hides in the horizon in the evening.
By the smile of the moon the world is forgotten.
The stars play unistring
and I only watch in astonishment.

my consciousness remains awake.
Pouring my sincere longing into the pabulum,
I reattain the lost sweetness.

contemplation of the supreme,

we grow the huge banyan tree of love

You smile in each atom,

You love the poor,

He applied the decorative mark of love onto my eyes.
Who knows why.

In the spring breeze
that charmer of my mind reminds me of it.

The embodiment of the illusive game does not understand my agonies.
That merciless one does not wipe off my tears.

He does not come close,
and says from a distance:
“I love You each moment.”

I know and understand Him.
I search Him in my mental mirror.
I realise Him as embodiment of intuition.
He resides within my “I” feeling, each and every moment.

O Lord,
who can understand Your illusive game?
Tell me.

You float in the thought of the great space
and overflow in the great ocean.

In the cosmic space,
in water and land,
in mountains and at the root of trees,
in series of waves,
in the glow of meteors,
in the facets of the moon,
You are ever restless.

The creation and destruction of the illusive play,
the joyful crowd and the accumulation of sorrows -
this game of cries and smiles is witnessed by the lotus of life.

Crossing the great ocean from beyond an unknown world,
what is this unknown melody?

Breaking the walls of obstructions and adversities,
it enters ears and touches the core of hearts.

It sings in the purva melody during the early morning’s crimson effulgence.
Approaching from a distance, with the melody of floral fragrance,
secludedly, it rises in the deep recess of my mind,
and tells me that He loves me.

In the evening melody, when afternoon has passed,
He tells me to come to Him, breaking bondages.
I sit, awaiting the golden time
when the smiling moon and heaven shall merge.

Evening intensifies.
Amidst this new environment, the moon looks on.

Whatever was present, has dissolved.
Whatever is present now, shall not remain.

While tired at the end of the day,
I get peace only within Him
who has no comparison in the world.

He is the king of my mental world.
In my garden, I attain Him with form and colour.

Atoms and molecules are within Him,
ever decorated with gems and gold.
He shines with the light of love.
I love Him knowingly and unknowingly.

He is the controller of the great universe.
He is the controller of destiny and existence.
O Lord,
You are revered in all spheres.
In His tune,
I sing His song.

Today, the rhythm of my song vanishes in the far distance.

My mental peacock does not understand.
The moon hides behind the clouds.

Whatever I imagine, disappears.
Yet it is not totally consumed.
It remains.
The sun sets.
Yet it stays on the other side of the horizon.

Nothing is lost forever.
I cry due to ignorance,
O Lord.
Even after being taught,
I do not understand.
I am only told insincere, consoling words.

You filled the air and the sky with song after song,
O most beloved.

You brought effulgence from heaven,
and beautified it with beats and rhythm.

You pulled the distant ones near
and made others Your own.
You made everyone listen to Your melodies of deep longing,
which even today echoe in the core of our heart.

Into the narrow path of my mind,
You suddenly You brought about a flood
from an unrecognised and unknown path,
O object of my meditation.

O life of the universe,
O greatness personified,
leaving me,
why are You staying far away?

During affluence or adversity,
I constantly think of You.
Yet, You just keep watching.

During storms, cyclones or the fall of meteors,
You keep Your protective umbrella over my head.
During thunder and lightning,
even staying far away,
You remove fear.

Your glory resembles an endless flow of atoms.
Your sweetness is present in the sky and air.
Pouring Your beauty into floral offerings,
what a divine game do You create!

At the end of the day,
when the moon-land rises,
floating through a beam of moonlight,
I have come close to You.

There is no scorching sun.
My mind is satiated.
My eyes are bright on attaining You,
O auspicious face in my mental sky!

Into the sandal breeze,
into the fragrance of flowers,
You poured all Your love.
Unrestrained, the musical mode of the purva melody, resounds.

High and low,
small and big,
spheres of imagination and the material world,
gain and deprivation,
the minuscule and the vast -
float about from all sides.

You smiled in fragrance.

Remove my darkness

Bring illumination to my life.

In this limitless ocean of the world,
You are the singular helmsman.

Whatever was present in the past,
whatever lives today,
whatever tears are shed -
I know that it is all Your game.

You exist in creation, sustenance and dissolution.
You dance in the core of one’s heart.
You remain bound by Your own game.
This is why You are dearest to all.

When morning comes, opening my eyes,

You pour sweet fragrance and beauty into the niipa flower.
You call me in the eastern horizon’s soft breeze.

smiling sweetly,

that this time, revolving around You, I shall call You
when the time would come.

Your glory and tale of love float in the sky.

Calling and calling You, my life has passed.
Still You have not graced me.

How do You explain Your love,
when, even after hearing me,
You do not respond.

Day and night, meditating on You,
time passes thinking and remembering You.
Who knows by what delusive game,
even though seeing me,
You do not notice me.

You are the life of initial and subsequent entities.
You are even present in endlessness.

O beloved,
mercifully take Your seat in the core of my heart.

This boat of songs floats in the blue sky.

Who are You,
companion of my melody,
steering this boat of mine?

As if suddenly announced by someone,
He comes at the time of sorrow.
This helmsman remains silently hidden,
without saying anything,
in the recess of my mind.

He avoids introducing Himself.
He keeps quiet.
Who is He?
He sits and sits and only says:
“Let me be brought to You by the pull of love.”

O beloved,
by loving You,
my mind has been coloured with Your colour.

The mind that had left me,
has been centralised in You.

Materialistic thoughts that had kept me bound
with the rope of infatuation,
were suddenly removed
and the taste of liberation was experienced.

The Gopal of my mind stays in the mind only,
continuously filling it with colours.
He intoxicates the mental Yamuna river,
overwhelmingly overflowing its banks.

Come into the sweet Vrndavan of my mind.
Come onto the lotus of my heart.

I searched You in forests and secluded places,
and in pious waters.

In life, rise and fall comes:
mirages of moonlight and sunrise,
dark nights and assemblages of stars.
In all these, I searched You each moment.

Someone came and went away, whispering into my ears:
“The one who you search remains in the mind and in life,
in each atom and molecule, and in all places.

See Him, opening your eyes,
after applying the ointment of love to them.”

When You came,
I was in deep slumber,
surrounded by ego,
in a closed house.

With what intention,
did You open the doorbolts?
Why did You enter?

Both burning wood for pyre and wood of life
were kept close to my head.
You lifted up the wood of life and the wood for pyre disappeared.

In the infinite “I” my small “I” was bathed.
That small “I”,

after becoming Yours,
O beloved,
attained You.

In my mental sky,
moonlight had initially distracted my mind.
After crowding me with desires and achievements,
only one ideation I imbibed.

He was first to merge,
at last, leaving the horizon.
The eternal “I” then forever broke my slumber.

and in that morning,
a new light came.

The one who loved me,
lifted me up,
ignoring all others.

With rapt attention,
keeping awake the whole night,
who is He who wants to listen with love?
Churning the fragrance of my mind,
who is He who keeps calling me?

Hoping for Him day and night,
time gets lost into periods.
The ocean of pains rushes on shorelessly,
until, at the end, all becomes His compassion.

In the clear blue sky,
beautiful moonlight appears.
Who is He,
singing with heartfelt impulse?

The one without beginning or end,
merges into infinity,
and pours out mental sweetness.

He who keeps oscillating and vibrating the entire world,
is pleasing and revered by all.

The real and materialised essence of heavenly nectar
makes the meanness of mind be forgotten.

He has no discriminatory feeling for high or low,
or small or big,
no consideration for time and place,
He differentiates not between wise or fool.
As aggregate of all,
that Lord is indeed Great.
By the upsurge of His love,
He makes everyone dance.
And by the pulse of His heart,
He sings.

with new buds and with flowers that carry smiles all over them.

In the festivity of colours and with the jewel of love,
He made all His own.

Let the load of pain be alleviated.
Let the minds of tender leaves resonate with rhythm
and be illuminated with love.

Let them enjoy the quiver of heavenly joy and light.

Let all agonies of the past be forgotten.
Pull everyone near You, and make them Your own.
Into the dense blue sky,
scatter offerings of beautiful colours.

With remembrance, I have loved.

The night that passed,
the flower that dried up,
the moon that left,
the sweetness that withered -
within all that, I have searched.

I was direction-lost.
Losing the polestar,
I was covered with darkness,
surrounded by disappointments.

in new feelings,
I got life.

I love You secretly.
I hold You during sleep, dream and while awake.

By Your light, I am illuminated.
By Your glimpse, I shiver.
By Your thought, I am vibrated each moment.

You are the collection of all the seven strata of the world.
You are the basis of sweetness, illuminating my inner core.
You are the garland, combining the known and the unknown.
How can I forget You?

You are benevolent.
You are the object of my meditation.
I love only You.

Like a lotus in the mud,
I look upwards.

The days come and go,
alas, with light and darkness.
You do not look at me.
You do not enquire about me even for a moment.
What for do I keep crying?

The rain-moistened juhii flower,
the madhu mallika flowers of spring -
all fade away, leaving me.
I know only You as my eternal companion.

O beloved,
come into my sweet vrndavan,
O Gopal of my mind,
colour this mental arena of my mind pauselessly each moment.

You swing in the psychic world
amidst creation, sustenance and destruction.
You also reveal Yourself in the hearts of devotees, the Gopiis.
Hence, I call You from within the depth of my mind.

O Lord of the universe,
You reside beyond the periphery of time.
O controller of atoms and molecules,
You never forget anyone.
Hence, I seek shelter at those feet.

Into my eyes, You came that morning.
Who knows why?

My eyes then became submerged in tears,
due to the ignorance of my mind.

You told me smilingly,
with nonartificial love:
“You are never alone.
I am the eternal companion in pain and pleasure.

Let storms and cyclones come.
Let the laughter of monsters come.
I am there,
I will remain
and I will remove your sorrows
when you cry due to pain.”

In the distant illusion of maya a melody floats.
You oscillate in the swing of songs.

You poured charm in the sky,
in the underworld, in fire and in air.
Nobody is alien to You.
None is far away.
All are Your own and close to You.
You are in all minds and all are in Your mind.
Through Your charming illusive game,
You create the world.

The melody which has no beginning or end
is Your beginningless, blissful consciousness.
Amidst restless waves,
You are ever tranquil.
You are realised by love.

You have snatched away everything belonging to me.

Whatever was in the core of my mind as feeling
You pulled into the external world.

What had secretly been kept with care,
covered within the petals in the depths of my mind,
within the particles of a golden dream -

You covered with Your colour.

O Unknown Traveler,
gem of my feelings,
by Your momentary look,
You vibrated my mind.
With Your sweet smile
- whether given or not -
You have filled all.

Like an ocean’s salinity,
like snow on mountain peaks,
I listen to the eternal words circling around Your thoughts.

To the soft life of a lotus, You are the fire.
With dance and revolution, You awaken atoms.
Within rhythm, tune, melody and music, You are glow.
O beloved,

You reside both inside and outside.

What I considered a total vacuum,
is not merely voidness either.
Filled with Your ideation,
it too is an embodiment of Yours.
Beyond attributes,
You are the singular aggregate.
You alone are full of all-pervading consciousness.

This evening,
amidst the cloudy sky,
constantly singing songs,
who is He, gliding though the horizon’s unlimited home,
with the sandal breeze’s soft touch?

With ketakii fragrance applied on my chignon,
I have been wondering the whole night
who it was who poured smiling fragrance into my ears,
conveying an unknown message,

during this rain?

That unknown traveler makes me forget,
with sweet charm,
day, date and time.
Amidst a charming smile His glow is seen.
His memory thrills me constantly with upsurge.

You gave honey to flowers.
You gave the silver moon to the sky.
You are the ocean of the nectar of love.
You mingled my mind into Yours.

You are the Supreme Entity of the seven worlds.
You pervade all living and non-living entities.
You dance with ankle bells,
surrounding the moon and the stars.

In the external world You are not to be attained.
You hide Yourself in a corner of my heart.

You do not discriminate between who loves You
and who loves You not.
You keep calling all unto You.

The stars, the planets, the sun,
the mountains, the forest,
the dark and decorated pupils of my eyes,
the dry desert, the deep green trees -
all are filled with Your sweetness.

This mutual knowledge of one another is eternal.
The immeasurable mountain,
the dust of the earth,
the chirping of birds -
all are sheltered by Your loving consciousness.

Amidst the dropping shefali flowers of this soft winter,
I am moistened by the dew.

Amidst the golden and new buds of paddy,
I am coloured with the new.

The tall grass swings with the sandal breeze.
White clouds watch from the dense blue sky.
In the depth of my mind,
in long silence,
and with impulse,
I keep gliding.

Time comes and goes on a swan’s wings:
coming from far away, floating into the distance.
Sitting on a sandy beach,
in solitude,
and with eagerness,
I keep watching.

I had thought the sun would permanently vanish in the evening,
yet I find it reappearing in the morning.

Losing the path in the darkness,
the pole star helped me find the way again.

You are near as well as far away,
hiding within the ego.
Surrendering, I return,

At the end of uncountable eras,
who is that Purarava who came?

He snatched away all the meanness in me
and filled me with the ideation of the Great.
With an overwhelming heart He illuminated me with light
and charmed me from the world of ideative feeling.

Whatever was mine, all that I gave to Him.

With the nectar of festivity,
ever remembering the controller of all,

Now colour your mind with the colour of the new.

The day that has become past,
the flower that has dried up
and has merged with the dust particles -
why worry about it with disappointment and sorrow?
Why do you pass time with such sad face?

The date that is today part of history,

why worry about it with dogmatic feelings?
Why obstruct the flow of time?

Wandering through this worthless world again and again,
I never find anything permanent.

A false mirage is left behind.
Even after knowing this reality,
I hardly understand.

With the intense heat of a restless heart,
I thought that this time I could bring You within my reach.
Yet ego comes and removes my endeavour,

and Your coming close never takes place.

With inauspicious coincidence the dark night comes
with frightening teeth to devour living beings.
Yet whoever remembers true knowledge
is never devoured by agony.

I was lying neglected in the dust.
You lifted me up.

I was dirty inside and outside,
absorbed in dark materialistic thoughts.
You removed the dirt, purified me
and tied me with the twine of love.

Not recognising my real self,
I had been looking outside.
Not seeing inside,
I had tried to be wise externally.
You cut the root of my ego with a sword’s blow,
and kindled in me the flame of consciousness.

Today, on this twilight evening,
I remembered You had come to my home.

Sails of white clouds and festive groups of swans,
were floating and gliding in the sky.

Can it ever be forgotten how the sandal breeze
came and touched the golden heart?
Ideating on You and by Your smiling gesture,
I became intensely engrossed.

The shefalii flower bloomed.
It dropped towards the end of the night,
forgetting the night.
Whenever a shefalii flower drops,
it is never looked at again.
Who would cry for them?

In Your world,
to attain You,
I look at Your path,
thinking of You.
I immerse myself in You,
singing songs in Your tune.

Do not remain far,
O beloved.
Whatever defects I have, do remove them.
Look at me with graceful eyes
and make me Your own.

Do not go away playing Your delusive game.
Can the microcosm survive without the Macrocosm?
Even an ocean cannot exist without its drops,
just like You cannot exist without me.

How can I show to You
what is in the depth of my mind?

The flower that still resides in the darkness of its bud,
can it ooze out sweetness?

at its bottom,
is full of mud,
and does not dry up by sun or heat,
how can its flow of nectar trickle out into light?

but I do not know whether You hear them or not.

The one whom I love and search,
does He look for me or not?
I do not understand.

I practice songs in diverse melodies and tunes,
along its rhythmic path,
in accordance with the beats.
There is nothing wasteful in this world.
With this confidence I practice my melody.

O treasure of grace,
listen to my affairs.
Today You can create a new history.
Coming close slowly,
understand my agony,
I shall announce the glory of victory.

In the moonlit night,
amidst the sandal breeze,
how much did I search You!

I could not see You and remained alone,
thinking that it was the writing of my destiny.

In the floral garden,
I could not meet You.
I could not see You on the royal throne.
How much did I cry in disappointment!

I went on, searching You in light,
moving about, avoiding darkness.
I considered You alone as light.
Yet, today my mind is full of darkness.

The garland that You used to wear on Your neck,
who have You given it to?

With the descend of coloured clouds,
in whose life do You build a home?

The river Yamuna does no longer overflow.
The cows of Vraja are unmindful.
The devotees cow maids behave deer-eyed like.
Do You remain oblivious of their pains?

In the sweet garden of flowers and shrubs,
who is crying amidst the noise of palm trees
and looking towards the path of Your arrival?
Will You go on stamping on their heart?

O Lord,
for You, I threaded many a garland.

During the day, at night and in the evenings,
I decorated many an altar.

I listened about Your glory,
I read stories of You
and I sang with fervour many a prayer.

Whatever wisdom and intellect You granted me,
I lay it all down before Your lotus feet.
Yet, You remained far away
and I can not tolerate the agony of distance.

I probably had ego and was covered with infatuation.
That is why the wheels of Your cart did not stop,

to accept the bouquet of my love.

Holding the lotus in hand,
its petals whither down and no honey is found.

Why do You perform this liila, the delusive play?
the game of revealing Yourself and again escaping -
this congregation of creation and destruction -

You never explained it.

From some unknown origin,
I come into this earth again and again.
With what expectation?
Why won’t You tell me?

I cried so much for You,
but You did not listen.

I consider You to have a heart of stone.
I did not forget the agony You caused.

I requested You not to keep this distressed one away
O my beloved,

and to pull me close.
I also prayed for You to come
and blissfully show glimpses of You each moment.
But You did not approve of it.

While sitting unmindfully,
amidst intense loneliness,
and at an untimely hour,
I thought to myself
that nowhere I have anyone to call my own.
Then You came close.

You smile with heavenly nectar
and appear as heavenly effulgence.

In all the three worlds,
there is nothing that compares to You.

You are the garland of the physical stratum,
decorating the earth with joy.
You are the eternal consciousness of the absolute realm.

Whatever is present in the world,
whatever is not present,
whatever appears in the mind,
whatever does not come to mind,
You are at the centre of it all,
moving above everything.
You have tied all unto You
by the eternal bond of love.

Whatever good I may have,
I shall offer to You.
Whatever bad I have,
I shall keep without hesitation.
Make me pure by filling me with Your ideation.
To my own “I”, provide auspicious jolts.

Even in the light of intuition,

I cannot understand.

O divine controller of illusion,
why do You immerse me in delusion?
Nobody knows.

In the three worlds Your illusive form is ever new.
Creating and destroying take place each moment.

A new illusion is created within infinite thought waves.
Each moment destruction takes place. Nothing stays.

Time and pause keep flowing,
rushing into the endless infinite.
They display glimpses of their activities in my mind.
Yet my mind fails to grasp.

With rhythm, melody and tune all move within cosmic bliss.
None ever stops.

Though the tree might not like the creeper,

Even should the sun, after having set,

O Lord, on the path within bakul flower trees, towards the end of the night, there was no
one other than You. O the effulgent, You were hidden in depth of the golden dream, I could
not see You. My mental temple was surrounded by vacuity. The dark prison was calm lying in
solitude. I could see and recognise You in a moment, and the darkness of the night was
lost. Outside in the nature, sunrise occurred, and my mental peacock’s call came
rushing, dancing. O Dear, for You, inside and outside true knowledge, full of love was
shown.

O Lord, this proximity between You and me, is of so many days, no one knows. The sun does
not know, the stars do not know, nor the moon or its light. When the unexpressed universe
was latent in deep slumber, I was also in dense sleep, but together with Your
Consciousness. Your light broke the slumber, the frenzy of colours came into eyes. Then
started the revolution on the path, even at that time Your gesture was there.

O Formless, within the ocean of Your beautiful form, I am submerged and lost. Within the
abode of music and songs, I have merged that One. The light of the day and darkness of the
night, the earthen delusion and shade of the tree, all expectations and desires, I have
dissolved into that one. The dust of the earth, the chirping of the birds, the range of
gems of the ocean, the festivity of lights of the dark mind, offering all, I pray and
salute.

O Lord, crossing the dark ocean You came, carrying the wick of light. You are pious
adorable and praiseworthy on this earth. Those who were in dark, neglected, alllost, they
got ray of hope, expecting new fulfilment of their wills. Those, whose life was waste
full of disrespect and cries

O Dear Lord, loving You is my spiritual endeavor, whether attaining or not. Whatever is
feeling, whatever is taken, whatsoever obstruction is provided, my mind would not heed to
that. I find Your fragrance in the solid factor, ks’iti, earth. Your rhythm is vibrant
in liquid factor, jala, water. The liveliness of life is Your bliss, providing gesture of
joy each moment. Within the desert, fragrance of ketakii goes on floating, the vibrant
essence of which full of love. As if His expression goes on floating in the Grand Space.
Of that stealer of mind, there is no comparison.

O Lord, some people want only to attain proximity with You, and some want only You. Some
people die searching shells on the shore of the ocean of effulgence, without searching the
ocean itself at all any time. You have provided living beings articles of utilities in the
world. You have given all food, water and clothing. You gifted love and beautiful
coverings, still the expectations are not satiated. All come and go within this moving
universe. No one can stay stationary, ever engaged in movement. He, whose mental peacock
dance frenzied for You, floats like illuminated moon.

Breaking the doors of the dark prison, Who has come today? He pulled open the curtain of
dirt coverings accumulated since ages. Those who could not get golden lamp, lost their
wealth, means and charm, they, forgetting their cries, today kindled the earthen lamp.
Which Unknown traveler has come, and tied with the thread of love. Removing the Cimmerian
slumber from the eyes, announced the message of living.

With the illusive magnanimity of light and shade, the mind goes on rushing, without
holding. What an experience in remembering and meditation, it is not possible to
understand and explain. Sitting in solitude when I think, how is that Dear my own, then
all thoughts come together to explain that the Dearest cannot be held within the periphery
limitation. When I saw towards the depth of the mind, I found that Dear peeping there. It
is not deception that He does not come into the fold, rather by my own coming into His
folds, He can be attained.

you want to give and what do you want to take, also to explain how old was the intimacy?

O Lord, this acquaintance of Your and mine, is not a matter of a few eras. Then there was
no development of stars, the creation was not expressed. The earth was not made, there
were no grass, no coverage of greenery. There was no impulse, no mind, on this mortal
earth with birth and death. You smiled, creation occurred, the vitality of love rushed.
The pleasing vibration took place and rhythmic life awakened.

In the sweet night, along with white lily, the buds of madder hum, alas. The distinction
between known and unknown gets lost, and want to pull all into the mental home. Who was
where, present where and would remain where, for Whom their hearts would be restless. What
script is to be drawn on the screen, their indication is heard in sam’giita. Who would
pause on the path of movement due to tiredness, who would be left behind the wheels of the
cart, who rush to hold on to the bosom of the target, the voice of the core of all of them
get stupefaction into the song.

Searching and searching, having been tired, sitting alone in the shade of the tree
looking upwards only one subject I think. O The Formless, why are You adverse to me, where
are You hidden? I have no attainment, no wealth of wisdom, no deep intuition or intellect
or glorifying history of lineage. Remaining unwise, I want to understand Your attributes.
I do not want attainment of yoga, I do not wish plenty of riches, I do not want meagreness
devoid of real knowledge, though shining with skill. O The Divinity, being unknown, I want
to recognise You.

whither off, the frolicking birds come and go away. What for the affection remains lost
who is mine other than You? O the Unknown traveler, Your acquaintance, even by not
arrival, sing Your victory. The hope and despair, speak only one thing, that the world
revolves because You exist.

whispered into my ears, “ you are not alone, when I am yours, this darkness is not

In the resonant sky, the swans glide, and the music goes on rushing. My mind runs towards
touching them. In the unseen hands, the tinkling of viin’a’, each moment awakes a
chord. Come all alone, who else is there in the world? This is a mixed experience of the
happy world. Whatever existed, whatever did not exist, in all that is found, and cannot be
forgotten on hearing. Through the unknown, unrecognised arena I have come. And go on
floating towards unknown again. There was only one desideratum, I am holding that alone
that singular is shown as glimpses in the world.

finishing. You are there hence this world is there. All revolve around Your feet. The
tinkling of Your ankle bell sounds leaving sweet effect of Grand music.

O Lord, even though You are ever together with me, I am unable to recognise You. Even if I
am carrying Your blessings on the head, I could not understand that You loved me. The
ocean does not know that the moon pulls that, hence it gushes through tides towards You.
The loadstone does not know and understand that the mountain wants to tie that. The
fragrance remaining in the nucleus of the flower does not know that the pollen had held
that. The honey remaining in the syrup has forgotten its essential value.

Blue sky, no one is stationary, all go on rushing. The unknowable nature has amazing
movement, all are tied with the rope of love. There is no nebula or sun where my victory
horn does not sound. I am Your atom, O the Great Cosmic Fire, and go on revolving around
You.

Those who played flute in the niip arbor, why did You forbid, stop them? The air filled

all the time, I stay with rhythm and beats. With the twine of the ankle bell sound of

O Lord, You pervade all filling each atom and the depth of the mind. You go on dancing
within and beyond feelings, keeping the world under frenzy. As the burning capability in
fire and cooling capacity in snow, softness in flower, whiteness in milk, providing
momentum in the meteorites, You keep Yourself secretly hidden. Whatever existed, what is
present now and whatever would remain, and whatever would never come in the infinity, in
life and death, spirit of festivity, they are all materialized within Your mind.

One lotus bloomed in the blue pond with the ray of sun. It does not want any riches or
wealth, or even grand assemblage of prestige and fame. Those who oscillate on the swings
with the impulse of morning waves, they dance with charming bliss rhythmically, in
isolation with the upsurge of flow. No one knows them or recognise them or see their
thought waves. The annihilating meteorite come rushing, can the meagre living beings
tolerate that? The dark shadow of illusive fog comes untimely bring bad period. The
killing fury in hands of human beings, provide them unbearable sorrow, like burning of
lotus stalk.

O Merciless, when you had come to my home, I had loved you. You were sitting under the
shade of mahua tree. Your soft dark complexion face wore sweet smile. That mingled in my
eyes. The dark decoration mark and the tears of emotion, mixed together flowed to the
ground. My mental peacock and the hackle of the head danced with full engrossment. You
came suddenly, with some unknown impulse went away far off. Since then my mind does not
listen to me. It has lost the consideration of time and does not want anything other than
you. It goes on searching for you day and night, morning and evening in all worlds.

O Dear, the effulgence that You have poured all over the Cosmic blue lotus, that goes on
floating, goes on dancing, originating from the will, like a beginning less stream, that
is beyond description and insurmountable at any time. The Singular, without a second, O
the Great Devourer, it goes on dancing agitated, with rhythm beats and melody. O the
mental Gopa’l with blissful smile, and illusive game liila, You smile. In this Great
Creation, there is nothing other than You. You exist within all and above all.
Individually and collectively, You are present in each atom, each moment.

The golden dream with resonance of hope, came this time in a new way. It plucked the
strings of the seta’r, in a new tune forgetting the tinkling. O the Dearest, You came
colouring my whole surrounding. With incomparable feelings, impulse and tune, as aggregate
of all auspicious. You removed the intense darkness accumulated in public mind for ages.
Those, who did not have balanced life, You brought success and accomplishments in their
life.

If that Dear does not come why did I uselessly tie my chignon, what for I decorated the
house and rehearse welcome song? I uselessly marked my cheeks with dark mole, and the
forehead. The flame of fire with butter moist wick in the golden lamp, ever after calling
if I do not get response, what is the use of my calling? The philosophy and science cannot
find with ego of logic and reason. The unknown traveler staying even very close does not
come into folds. He stays hidden within the mind, scattering light from the mental lamp.
By meditation, He comes close mentally, and by looking within the mind, I find Him, in
exchange of my own “I” feeling, He who has bound all.

were You, and where did You go, why came suddenly? My eyes are not satiated on looking at
You. There is unlimited desire to see You more and more. You smeared honey in my mind. You
came into the dwelling of ideas, and continue illusive game, liila, hiding Yourself.
When I try to know and understand You, You merge my ideation in Your ideation.

my mind is restless. Day and night, morning evening, I want Him in the mahul grove. He is

not. I move ahead with a free mind. Without having a moment’s hesitation or second
thought. Why do you then keep deceiving me? Day and night I strive To put this prayer of
mine into your ears. I have no grievances. I only keep practicing you song s of love
sincerely. I can articulate in one language only. My lute can play only one melody. You
are the unique point at which all ideations converge. Pray come closer to me. I can not
bear a separation from you even for a moment.

That Nymph from the arena of moon came and told in the pre evening smilingly, “For Whom
with what hope, you are thinking so intensely like this”? I told, “ I do not know
for Whom I am moving day and night, Who is there at the end of the journey, tell me about
Him lovingly. O Nymph, tell me where is that Dear of mine dwelling, Whose charming ankle
bell joins the known and unknown arenas.

O Lord, I do not know any scripture or philosophy, I only know that You are mine.
I do not accept any artificial difference and distinction, when there is only One
foundation. Within only one great sky in space the sun, moon and meteorites revolve, the
galaxies and nebula exist. Do they have different caste or race? In one corner of the vast
Cosmic mind, at the shore of the ocean along with shells, I secretly search, where is the
He who is aggregate of all.

The One without a second in performing the illusive game, liila is dear to me and that
day He had come to my home. Did He come perchance forgetting the path or possibly by
delusive game, liila, what for did He come, how can I know that? On His face was smile
shine in the eyes, upon the lips was marked sweet essence. In His hand was flute, that
embodiment of consciousness, told to return but never came back. I wander only looking for
Him, but never found Him anywhere in the external world. When I looked within the mind, I
found Him dwelling scattering unseen heavenly effulgence.

O Lord, though so close, yet much far, with language You are impossible to get bound, O
Dear. The wellrehearsed melody becomes dumb. The mental stream rushes dancing like a
dancer, with enthusiasm and exhalation with strong will of attainment. Like a drop it
comes to merge into the ocean, rash, floating as form into the formless. Together it
pleases and stupefies, like beautiful flame of lamp on the formless lamp base. With the
emanation of existence, brilliance and bliss, the mental peacock goes on dancing.

O Lord, those who love You, why do You remain oblivious of them? Ignoring them
another’s colour You smear in the mind. He Who has offered his all to You, given mind
and essence of love, nectar of heart, their whole world, towards them, why do not You look
at them any more. Those who do not know anyone else other than You, do not accept any
second entity, and towards You in meditation, offered all without desiring anything.

O The Dearest, on that moonlight bathed night, You had come. By unlimited brilliance of
Your beauty, that moonlight became sweetest. The distinction of near and far moved out.
The series of high skies immersed into the earth. The mental peacock danced with raised
tail, like highascended glow. All the killings between human beings, tussle due to
selfishness, whatever I know and whatever I do not know, merged in my flow of composure.

I am a traveler who has lost the proper path, coming for shelter, immersed n despair and
covered with darkness. O Lord, shower grace on me. I have no one else amongst close by
whom I can call my own and who can treat mentally, consoling a burn of fire. You are the
life of the universe, the Great Intuition and Great vitality. Provide me shelter
mercifully. Those who have none, for them You are there. You are the owner of destitute
orphans with collected love. O the pleasing faced one, with flawless feelings, You remove
the multitude of flaw and dirt.

O Lord, I continued loving You again and again, do not You see and understand that? I have
hope after hope to attain You, but I do not know whether You would be my own. The earth
heated by intense sunlight, wants dark clouds, the clouds pour cooling water into its
bosom. The cha’taka bird keeps on demanding pure water, let their demands be fulfilled.
The bee looks for honey within flowers, the cakor bird goes on demanding white moon like
shefa’lii flower. The sweetness and moon both only do not come, the moon that does not
heed to my talk.

Within the darknesscovered room, I was in sleep alone. No one knocked the closed door that
night. Suddenly someone came and told me “ Get up, how much time have you slept, look
all around you”. I still did not open the door, as You were inside, That Who were beyond
my imagination, I understood that You were beyond logic.

He Who has given you the mind, and given sweet life, why have You forgotten Him today? He
Who has been watching you secretly, and remained along the path, why do you wash His
eyedecoration with tears? O Lord, eras after eras, You go on performing Your illusive play
again and again. Amidst those, in whom You should have bloomed the bud, You make them
certainly cry. The unseen glow of Your love, the materialized song of the Great Devourer.
Providing momentary dark shade within the moonlit night, the Unknown Traveler went away.

O Lord, You came into the dark world, and kindled light. Without considering who wants You
and who does not, You continued to do work for all. This world was full of darkness, the
bosom of the mind could not be seen. You removed the darkness, scattered light, and with
new dawn satiated the mind. Nobody knows, what You want and what You do not want, as from
a blade of grass to the Grand Cosmos, everything is ever within Your mind. You have filled
consciousness in mind and life and with tide of new feelings, floated.

That far dwelling Dear of mine, returned back into the mental abode. With smiling face and

Dear? Whose viin’a’ I listen in the mid night, flooded with intuition.

Within the various shrubs of Vrindavan I search Him even in bamboo groves. The herds of

and tunes. I do not know how far are You, how close are You that too I cannot measure. O
the Dear, You are my goal and the means, I am at Your feet like a cakor bird looking
forward for the grace. In my mental arbor, Your flute plays in dream, sleep or awaken
state. With charming decoration of tama’la and niip flowers and plants, You have tied me
with the rope of love.

That winter evening of mine was frenzied with moonlight. The rows of swans were gliding in
the sky, and lily flowers were smiling overwhelmingly. There was dreamy togetherness of
white clouds with tall flowering grass. And there was garland made of shefa’lii flowers.
The tray of loving offering was overflowing with essence of songs during pre evening time.
O Dear, You had pervaded whole world, above, below and around. Though I lost, still I did
not forget that You perform Your divine play, liila with me.

O Dear, You are moon of the far sky, You are dear to me. You do not allow to be touched by
the earth and only smile in a unique style. You go on gliding in heaven call and tell the
swans, “ Move ahead, only move forward, and take love”. Peeping in the recess of the
mind, snatching the secret essence, scattering smiling fragrance, You emanate effulgence.

How many promises I had to fulfil, that I did not do, my time simply passes off. Alas
the wheels of Your cart does not does not stop, does not look back. Whether I work or not
the wheels of cart goes on moving continuously. Does not want to pause, only looks ahead.
Goes on watching the sun setting in the evening. O The Great Sun, for You there is no rise
or setting. I find You in mornings and evenings with equality. In dense nights, with Venus
star, Your sweetness scatters light.

O Dear, the light that You kindled, the brilliance of that is still untarnished. O the
Adorable, You do not heed to any obstacle, go on dancing near and far ignoring all
obstructions. I like thinking about You, Your glory appears in the core of heart. Your
history floats in the pollen of flowers, with great love and consciousness. Your movement
exists in atoms and molecules. You ever exist in diverse adornments both individually and
collectively. With rhythmic melody You stay as consciousness, within and beyond time each
moment as meditation and its object.

With the heat of desert, the trees and creepers go on drying, petals whither untimely. The
current in the river gets lost, water goes on evaporating. The swans go on gliding high. O
The Unknown traveler, come for a while, tell me at least once if everything is false. Will
the shade of greenness be totally devoured by infinite mirage of the desert? Whether
“I” am there or not, whether the world exists or not, You only know the essence of
essence, O Lord. Alas in the temple of ideation, dearth cannot exist, the ankle bell does
not sound out of rhythm.

snatched away my essence. You left tears in my eyes churning the mind.

of the winter, You float me on the boat of white clouds. I think that You have forgotten
me, O my most revered One. During the snowfall of the cold, fall of hails in cold, in
sandal breeze of the spring, You place Your feet forward with melody of ankle bells.

have I passed, You did not listen. The day brings the burden of ego, the night flows
tears. The eras pass essentially thinking, did not You see that at all? The storms come

Today, in the spring garden, with budded mind, whose tinkling is heard? The mind is
frenzied with heavenly illumination, and rushes each moment with joy somewhere. O the
Dearest, guest from distance, smiling in tender leaves, You ever go on dancing. He goes on
singing song with love and exhalation of love in bakul, pa’rul and pala’sh trees with
smile. In the arbor of bamboos, the forest moonlight came. The leaves got back the lost
dear. The world got filled with wealth of ideation, with the overflowing beauty of the
formless.

O Lord, Hari, on not finding You, I uselessly wandered in Vrndavan. You were not seen and
I uselessly decorated my chignon. I searched on the banks of Yamuna’, in sweet garden
in bamboo and banyan groves. Secretly through the shrubs and garden, I revolved around the
land of Vraja. I searched in the roots of tama’l and sha’lmalii trees, in niip groves
and in Gokula. At the end I saw that You were smiling within the temple of mind
scattering love.

You, this fact I always understand. O Dear, for You I ignore all burns of sorrows.
Whatever exists, whatever does not, in all I find You, like an eternal ocean. Days and

remain together with me on my eyes, like tinkling ornament belt, O omni telepathic Great.

Your body is anointed with sandal paste

It emanates the beauty of a red kinshuka flower.

In the tamala, kadamba and bamboo groves of Gokula
You appear before me.
In my wakeful and sleeping states
with a charming smile
as if standing under the trees
You appear.

You are in my thought.
You always shower Your grace upon all.
You are the effulgent light in the core of every heart.

Come, O dear Lord, into the depths of my heart.
Be with me like the inherent quality of whiteness in snow

or the burning faculty in fire.

Your effulgence engulfs every particle of the creation.

Your overflowing love fills every microcosm.
You are above and beyond the universe.
You are the Supreme Lord of the intellect

brilliant black point on the forehead and your long horn vis’a’n’a in hand. Along
with that the hand held percussion instrument dambaru and a new form of Varabhaya. You
dance intense ta’nd’ava. The ultimate desideratum of all appears in the dark ocean in
the form of effulgence of millions of stars pertaining to the unexpressed universe. O
shelter and supreme controller of all, the world is restless with vibrant movements. By
your vibration, O Lord, the embodiment of entities within and without time is observed. By
your dance and revolution, the web of ma’ya’ is broken. By wee bit of your grace, all
sins are powdered and wiped away O the Greatest dancer.

The unknown traveler came into the ashok grove. Suddenly why did He smile in my mental
casket? Crossing the forests and high mountains, He told, “ See, I have come today. It
is morning now, open Your door, look opening the eyes. I have removed the darkness”. But
I was unconscious in deep sleep within the closed room. After hearing the call I
understood that I was immersed in matter. On opening the eyes, I could understand good and
bad in the illumination of crimson dawn.

The bamboo flute goes on sounding, the devotees, Gopika’s, come for going to the prison.
The flute blows in high pitch within all minds creating tides in the river Yamuna’. It
goes on swinging infinitely oscillating on swing of liila, the illusion, through the
mango buds, flower trees of pa’rul, bakul and shimul, in Vrnda’van, Gokul, and trees
of kadamba and tama’l, overflowing love by gesture. That sound, surprising with
astonishment awakens consciousness in seclusion within all minds of the world. With
language of love, and tint of affection, mixed with consciousness as its embodiment.

O Lord, during the festivity of light with this sweet nectar, You have satiated all. Bring
smiling glow and awaken immortal love, ending the falsehood. Come into my home quickly
sometimes with soft melody, each moment with the rhythm of manda’kra’nta’ meter
removing entire egoistic feeling. You exist, hence I exist, and stay within You. I ideate
in Your ideas, I am engrossed only in Your name, You alone are eternal repository.

O Lord, I love You, and I am engrossed in Your thought, You come into the full bloomed niip
flower of my mind. Come into sunlight, come into lamp, come into mental honeybee. Those to
whom You belong, why they should seek anyone else? Since all belong to You and are own.
They see same You, King of the world, in water, fire, ice and snow. Do not keep any
obstruction between You and me. Make my abode permanent at Your feet. You are the symbol
of hope, icon of love. Burn to ashes the heap of my dirt.

O Lord, for You, day and night my eyes flow. You move close to me but do not allow letting
Yourself within folds. How can I call this love? O the Unseen, Spotless, destroyer of
worldly fears, people call You as charmer of the mind. O the shelter of the whole
universe, charmer of the mental arena, why are You harsh towards me? I do not exist
without You, that is why I love You and always want to tie You with silken thread of
feelings. Come further close, I am looking at the path, come into folds within my mental
temple for meditation.

The path through which He came, the dust of that path is as holy as dust of Vraja. The joy
that was present in that lane, the fragrance of that floats even today. He came alone on
the path, carrying light of love. That light He left off leaving colourful decoration on
the beautiful earth. He went without telling, His coming and going was a delusive game.
When He was nearby, I could not recognise Him, when He is away, I understood Him as Deity
of love.

O Lord, I go on searching You, but You are hidden. The sky, netherworld, extreme dungeon
I do not know where You reside. You are hidden within the core, upon skykissing mountain
peak, through each string of the mental viin’a’, You go on observing secretly. I am
ignorant, do not understand anything, and rush behind material pursuits. Due to frenzy of
pride and ego, the mental peahen and the cakorii bird of the mind is forgotten. Remove
their load of dirt, entire accumulation of materialistic thoughts. The flow of tears of
the love of the Yamuna’ river, even after watching, why do You ignore.

O Dearest, I was standing beside the path, when You had come. With quivering feet and
shaking body, I was carrying unique coloured garland. I was thinking that You would speak
something, listen to my agonies and loving songs. I was wondering whether You would accept
my garland, a meagre gift, threaded out of bakul flowers offering my love. You came with
smiling face and looked towards me and asked, “ Why are you standing here, I am within
core of your mind, as unexpressed feeling, seated deep in the depth of the core”.

the light, but left me in darkness. With light and shade what game, liila, You go on
performing? The delusion of fire in the forest of red flowering kim’shuk disappoints.
Those who remain submerged in pessimism, in whose life darkness blankets, with the glow of
love in nights of sorrow, You fulfill ray of hope in them.

O the Unknown traveler, Unrecognised and cherished by all, You have fulfilled with song
after songs, and scattered vitality in all lives, with events of coming days, did not tell
about Your history. From what distant origin have You come, in which unknown stream You go
on floating, remain engrossed in what heart, You did not tell about that. You are Dear
You are love, You are inspiration and endeavor of fulfilment and success. The attainment
is the will of Your feet as sweetness of the soothing flow.

The internal melody of deep meditation
comes floating and dancing, full of hopes.

Many time had I heard
His jingling sound of ankle bells
and yet, I had never really loved Him.

That unknown traveler
opened the latches of my door and told me:

“Come out this time, I am not far away.
Even unknowingly, all love me
so who should stay away after knowing me?
Do not sleep anymore in my internal arena
afflicted by pain”.

O Lord, how many flowers whither away by negligence, how many keep much agonies suppressed
in their bosom, do not You know that, do not You hear that? How many rivers get lost in
the desert, how many huts burn by lightning, how much speechless love remain unknown? By
fog the rose petals dry, due to disappointment how many youths lose vitality, who
constantly cry due to love for You?

into my ears telling that You responded to my call thus.

salutation to You. Within fragrance of flowers and fruits, in clear sky and air, in the
recess of mind, You dwell as smiling pollen. You constantly dance in space, water and
land, and never forget pleasure and trouble. Within sandal breeze, and the roar of
annihilating storm, along with burning heat and shefalii flower of the winter, within the
pollen You sing song, with affection and memories of joy, You go on churning the honey of
the mind. Within Yourself and me, do not keep any obstruction. You are unseen effulgence
great moon. Staying in the eternal abode, You go on creating canopy with immensely large
palms.

path. You do not want anything, do not bring anything, just went on giving Yourself
pouring. You brought with You morning light, and by illumination filled the entire three
worlds. You go on pouring plentiful joy of life, each moment spreading the wings. It is
not possible to forget You, the vitality stupefies with Your ideation. The scarcity of
egotism goes on vanishing oscillating on the swing of love.

O Lord, who can get acquaintance of Yours by philosophy, science and scriptures? On whom
You shower mercy, and whom You lift up, they only can know the absolute truth. How meagre
is this human strength, how much unlimited strength is Yours, O the Controller? Human
knowledge and false vanity, all wisdom is Your grace O God. Those who get Your grace are
really blessed and they only understand You a little bit. Past, present and future of own
self, the astrologer himself never tells. Something about sun, moon, stars and nebula
some understand a bit. O the shelter of all, without any shelter, all knowledge exist
within You only.

In my mental garden, the bud of campa’ withered down. The Dear did not come, did not
accept the offering in the hands, the flowers could not bear the load of this agony.
Getting up in the morning, I threaded the garland, poured the honey of total devotion into
that, decorating the golden tray of colours, I stood beside the path of His arrival. The
consciousness tells that there was still time, even now there is hope of His arrival.
Decorating the temple of love with flowers, kindle lamp and call Him again this time.

What is the use of my kindling the lamp and threading the garland? The One for whom, the
mind is restless, He does not listen to the song. I thought that all my best possessions
the charming glowing colours of my mind, shining with the evening melody, and all
sweetness of my mind, I shall offer. I had thought that all the melodies that I practiced
throughout my whole life, which are ever new in ideas and language, the charming tinkling
of the viin’a’ of my heart, I shall offer to Him, with earnest love.

O Lord, You visited my home the date I do know. You have forgotten but the bit of memory
does not leave me. Your garland worn by You then is dried up, the flowers withered away
only the thread is left lying. The decorated garden is full of thorns, the bees do not
come even by mistake. The foot mark that You had left, that even now is impressed on my
mind. Along with that is marked the impression of the wheels of Your cart, which never
stops.

My mental peacock is frenzied looking towards the clouds. Behind the game of moon was
going on. In seclusion, as if it was telling that it found the lost days on searching. How
many years passed, one after another, how many summer heats floated away in rainy seasons.
Soon after autumn grasses, winter came, and spring went called with flowers. During
summer, the bela’, during rains, malatii, during autumn, shefa’lii, during winter
candramallika’, during cold, shobha’injana, during spring, colourful new leaves, all
oscillate.

O Friend, it is not possible to keep holding my golden days. Those colourful days
somewhat tender, somewhat fresh, somewhat spectrum of language. Crimson colour of sunlight
was there, with morning illumination. There was colour of evening after sunset with smile
of the moon. And chirping of those pet birds that flew leaving the cage. There were
colours in my tunes and melodies, also of the internal sound heard in meditation, also of
materialized message of free sky, illuminated life or festivity of light.

O Dear, all the garlands that I threaded for You, You did not wear a single, and they
dried up due to burning heat. Remembering You again and again, I threaded the flowers into
the twine, that garland why did not You accept, that I think sitting untimely. O Dear I
love You, thinking of that I liked. All You accept smilingly, pouring wee bit of love upon
me. I have no expectation, just stay close to me. This request I express before You, the
day passes and evening deepens. I have nothing of my own. My own “self” is also Yours.
I am a bubble, You are infinite, I smile floating in illusive game, liila.

O Lord, I shall ever listen about You and sing Your song. I long and move towards You, and
I have no one else. During sunrise in the morning, with clean tranquil heart, I call You
at my home, and keep on looking at You. You are mine and only mine, You destroy the
darkness of mind. You are shelter and base for all, remaining Yourself without any base.
While meditating on You, I find bliss.

O Dear, during daytime, I wanted You, but You came during evening time, when there was no
illumination in home. The daytime passed, the darkness of evening came down, and were seen
in deep darkness. Lamp could not be lit at that time, the garland got withered. The
offering tray, full of articles of worship could not be arranged. But my call was not
waste. You were seen, though late. As per wish, You came alone, to remove fear and provide
freedom from agonies.

O Dear, in search after search for You, my days pass, my life and birth passes in vain.
Alas, roaming and wandering over the seven oceans and the mountain peaks. Day and night
secretly, I have been searching You in floral gardens, holy places, forests and towns with
hopes. I searched You amidst stars, nebula, and scenes of dark clouds. I longed for You in
intense heat of the sun, and under the shade of the trees. At the end You came at the end
of the long night, blooming the flowers with appearance of light, during colourful
morning.

distant ones close, without keeping any distinction. I express my innumerable salutations

Demons will no longer be able to continue their ugly dance of disaster, exploitation and

created strong vibration. Ignited the light. And removed the pain and

they recognise You. With the interval of darkness, making You seated on the lotus of my
mind, I think, when shall I get held, O Dear.

He, Who has gone away, giving assurance, will come, He would never forget the promise. The
lamp that He kindled and went, that will never extinguish. I know that my Friend will come
with golden crown on the head, with moon mark on the top, on the golden solar chariot. For
decorating welcome colouration on the path, I provided sandal paste, I have no other
thought. If He would not come on the path even by mistake, I shall bring Him close to my
mind. He has no expectation to get, as He is wishgranting tree, does not desire anything.

That Unknown traveler came after so many eras, like the bird returning to its nest in the
evening having recognised the path. The world was dirty with dust and mud, it has become
frenzied with the love of the spiritual arena. All the pains of piercing arrow removed
out. Whom did He search? At whose call He rushed out? Who tied Him with attachment through
the gaps of clods and sun?

O the Formless Gem, You came into form as essence of nectar for the three worlds. Thus my
mind wants to bring You within folds. In each flower You have provided sweetness and
fragrance, within the rainbow, You have sketched colourful picture. In mornings, You have
painted sun of the new dawn, and fixed the pendant of kaustubha diamond within the garland
of gem. The days and dates pass, no one can pause, and on the movement path of all Your
effulgence shines. You dwell within heaven and Gokul and in the eternal world. The eyes
full of love, look far.

the rhythmic dance of the dancer, on the face, full of love, within all I see You. Nothing
is lost any time, all are full of You forever, entire world is frenzied for You, and this
fact I have understood at the end.

The swan goes on gliding, goes on gliding. With what unknown melody, it goes towards
infinite, only singing with tunes after tunes. There is no backward pull, only song of the
path remains, it just wants to move forward You the Great. The cyclone, storm or the fall
of meteors, none can stop that. The lightning, the thunder, and very high mountain, none
can stop its movement towards the culminating point of all. Rushing through exhalations
attracted with joy, the golden present, all get stupefied into One.

O The Vira’t’a Purus’a, You cannot be attained by skill. Even the intellect accepts
defeat and at the end only love is helpful. You move as per Your own will, and do not
deviate by any influence. The sweetness of the sweets, and bitterness of the afflicted
all seek Your grace equally. This earth is moistened by Your colour and love. Those who
make it bitter, do not understand You. You come down from Your abode, Goloka, with firm
hands. To end the bad governance and exploitation, You are the only way out.

Crossing the ocean of effulgence, I observed there was more effulgence, I saw light beyond
light. In that world, no one is dull, rather good and better. The trees and creepers with
fruits and flowers, oscillate on the swings with sandal breeze. The sweet human speak
sweet, what to ask, tell me. There is no contamination of water there. The air is not
polluted with deadly poison. The machine washed vegetation does not become dirty there.
There is no sin in human minds, No body is bowed down with agony or repentance. The
society also has considerations for females and tells to move forward.

O Lord, with the covering of illumination, break my drowsiness. Those who are in darkness
of dogmas, awaken them. If the ocean is immersed in inertia during idle periods, You
whisper into their ears constantly the value of action. Gulped by ego, swinging due to
praise and condemnation, if I forget You, then provide me consciousness.

We are singing the victory of human beings. In our outlook and heart, there is no
difference between one human being and another, between one country and another. Everyone
is getting energy from the same singular sun. From the Onesource all get their vital
energy, pra'nah. Everyone has the same type of longing, All lift a Young infant in lap.
All follow he instructions of parents and teachers. Without getting disturbed by any
distinction any time, all human beings are just brothers. There is nothing like high and
low.

O Lord, my coming onto this earth & taking new life is only for You, oh my
Lord. All my sweetness and smiles, all my song and dance, and all my love, everything of
mine is revolving and dancing around You. All these things are for You. The sweet
smile and effulgence of the dawn, and the twinkling of the clusters of the stars in the
night, all stay entered within moonlight of Your core. Whatever love and affection are
present in the hearts of human beings, and also whatever pain like burning heat, and
pleasure like attachment and shade of tree, All the losses and desires and gains, they are
all within Your cave, like sun rays.

O Lord, because of Your presence the universe exists and all small or big names and
places. By Your grace sunrise takes place and within moments sparks of effulgence flow in
hundreds of ways. This world of mine is made out of Your mind containing all good and bad
qualities. With the impact of current in tides, You flow the river upwards. Though
remaining controller of endless ness, become controller of beginning less ness. Within
fall of meteorite and lightning You fill fear, You are the destroyer of all small anf big
fears.

I search for the formless gem, in the temple of forms hoping for a wee bit of your grace.
I have neither any qualities nor knowledge or competence. Hence I act relying on solely on
your grace. I was pathless, a pauper. You showed me the way and gave me strength to move.
Deeply intoxicated with my journey, I move on by your grace. What else may I say O Lord?
You are my attainment, my sa’dhana’. You are the equilibrium, the prosperity and the
very inspiration behind everything good. In you only, therefore I cherish to have my
fulfilment. I have no other way out.

You are the essence of all essences.
You are the elixir of everything.
You pervade both my good and my bad sides,
my bright and my dark sides.

With the crescent rays of the dawn,
You dispel the blinding darkness of the night.
By removing from my mind all good and bad thoughts,
You relieve my burden.

There is no entity equal to You.
To whichever direction I look,
You are everyone's object of ideation,

The unknown traveler is coming on the path.
Whosoever is willing to garland Him
come, come fast!
There is no golden throne for Him
with a smile, He goes on floating towards the unknown.

He is unseen, without stain
the destroyer of worldly fears.
His love is unmanifested
and provides bliss to all.
He moves along the path
full of divine game for all living beings.

No one can stop His movement.
All worship Him from the core of their heart.
In this restless world that knows no repose
He is everyone's destination.

Come all rushing!
Come still closer towards Him.
Only this will sway the waves
of the mental Yamuna' river.

Everything in the Universe is in motion. With their own speed and acceleration, all go on
floating. Those who have come, those who have not come, and those who want to come, even
those for whom there is no coming and going, they also sing the song. This earth lost into
rhythm, melody and tunes, is filled with love in mental arena and beyond that. Lost in
fresh appearance of crimson illumination, all combined together show the glow. O Dear
what I consider as mine even that belongs to You. All my own belongs to You. As aggregate
of existence, glow and bliss, all dissolve into Your mental lotus.

O Lord, sitting, waiting for You, how many eras of mine have passed, there is no account
of that. How many nights have passed in darkness of sorrows, how many foggy days have
passed, I cannot think. How much do You smile with light and shade, that memory remains in
the mind each moment. Even without looking at Your face, I take it as smiling, O the
shining gem of dark, You are dissolved in effulgence. Suddenly I heard nocks at my door
blow of effulgence in my dark home. On the crimson dawn with lamp of hope, today You came
with causeless mercy.

O Lord, I continued searching You wandering through life after life. But You did not come
to my home. Where did not I search You, in the corners of the heaven, barren lands, hills
and forests, tell me where did not I search You. I searched You in the eastern sky during
morning, within pala’sh groves during noon, in evening stars in the distant sky, where
did You hide? The morning sun calls me, evening stars through the gaps of clouds, the dawn
tells that You are merciless, and stays with love filled joy.

O Lord, I am spark and You are flame of oblation fire. I stay within You, I am merged
within You. Whatever I think, whatever I am unable to think, whatever tune I have
rehearsed, whatever I never heard, the honey, smeared with which in my mind, I dissolve
the mind, with that engrossment, I remain day and night. You stay together with me during
effluence or misery, with clouds and lightning, remain associated individually and
collectively. I move forward carrying Your blessing on the head. O the polestar, You
remain entered into my mental core. I have no independent existence, I float continuously
within the waves of Your thoughts. I cry, I smile and I love You.

O Lord, You came, swung the buds and fruits appeared. You smiled and within mental temple
pored effulgence. There was no one to love me, to understand my sorrows, to wipe my tears
to tell me during my bad dreams and fears, “ Do not cry, do not worry, I am there each
moment”. O the Brother as essence of nectar of the world, protector ocean of the dried
decayed stream, combination of beauty and qualities, the diamond necklace swings with glow
of love.

Sitting with hope after hope, my days pass. The sun sets this time and darkness
intensifies. The flower that was painted with colours, like wings of the butterfly, full
of intoxicating fragrance, that is drying up today. The garland threaded with twine goes
away far, the petals whither away with intense hopelessness. Suddenly the spring comes
with colour and sings the seasonal song.

O Lord, You pervade the entire universe, still I go on searching You. Remaining within the
ocean of effulgence, I seek illumination. The flower goes on looking for colours, even
though holding fragrance and honey within itself, but does not see that in its core, the
Lord is hidden. In the absence of mind, I do not think, and find You in the home of
feelings. O the Selfcreated Lord, all go on becoming perfect, in the illumination of
meditation.

In the eastern sky, the morning sun smiles, there is no dark night. Over the tall grass
dewdrops swing, on the winter mornings. To whom should I speak about my mind, to the white
clouds or to the shiulii flowers. The One Whom I was searching, I found Him at the dawn of
consciousness. All talk today, some with smile and some other with delusion of smile. Some
oscillate on the swing of air, removing the blow.

You came and loved all, O my beloved Lord, In the universe you are nonparallel. In bliss
and ecstasy, you are merged with your creation, You are amidst all yet you remain unknown.
In the crimson glow of the dawn, you float about in different spheres. Pollens of flowers
reflect our smile of divine love. With sweet gentle breeze you remove the fire of pain and
agony. You have no form. Yet you are manifest in myriads of appearances. Knowingly or
unknowingly all long for you. Whether all accept you or not all receive your divine
effulgence. You liberate all from the worldly bondages and lead them to Life divine. You
are the primordial source. You are the inspiration.

O Lord, by mistaking the path You had come to my home. Coming suddenly You stood opening
the bolts upon my mental mirror. For ages after ages I wanted You, many nights passed
awakened. I threaded the garlands with love, but You did not take that and it withered. It
is not possible to understand Your illusive game. Nonexisting comes into being and
present gets lost into vacuity. My dark heart gets illuminated and emptiness gets filled
as pearl in oyster.

That Unknown traveler came after several days. He came bringing song today filling melody
tune and rhythm in throat. For Him no one is ever alien on the earth, anywhere.
All remain tied with thread of humanity. With charming heavenly necklace of pearls of
love, He came for all. All brothers and sisters, wherever they are, find the gem of mind
closer to them today. For them all the garlands that You have kept threaded, bring quickly
with Yourself.

The spring has come decorated with tender leaves, and the earth is frenzied with after
effect of colours. With sweet essence in flowers and leaves, during the festivity of
spring, it removes the pain. O the citizens, wherever You are, listen, today let us only
smile and love, the spring has come destroying the inertia of the winter, and the sandal
fragrance floats in blue sky. Do not stay in closed house, come outside today. Not into
closed prison, but into open garden come today. Forget the antipathy, and forget
compromise, or confrontation, new intention goes on telling.

O Lord Shiva, above the snow peaked mountain, like silver hill, embodiment of sound, the
Leading Deity, I salute You full of devotion. You have no desire, whatever is wished, is
obtained. That is why O the Lord, I go on singing Your glorifying praise. Your decoration
is smearing of ash, how does it satiate You? You have poured new effulgence into the deep
dark arena. You make one cross the annihilating dark cloud each moment. Your shine of
intuition emanate through glimpses, constantly outside and inside.

sweetness of the earth. Remove the entire load of obstacles and distress. Whatever I
understand, whatever I do not, as an aggregate of all You are heavenly mirror of love. How

You make me cry, the cause of which I am unable to know. You have kept filled all, the far

O Lord, I continued searching You, in ages after ages. You have kept me forgotten, why

liila’. I have rushed dancing like a hilly stream, rubbing left and right, I move
towards ocean. With hope and desire, I think of You only, breaking the rock bolts. How
many habitants, how many green houses, how many tender faces, how much affection of the
mother, I went churning several colourful forestry with pain afflicted dark eyes.

In the beginningless past
You existed.
You sang songs
in melody and cadence.

With stars and nebulae
as ankle bells
You danced in beats and rhythms.

I lost myself in attaining this world.
But You didn't lose Yourself even once.

You have a permanent abode
whereas I have none.
I am mere dust
whereas You are the eternal dwelling.

O King!
King of my mind!
I love You.

Like the night jasmine (shiulii)
bathed in dewdrops
I take shelter at Your feet.

All experiences of the evening
all pains of the deep night
all histories of the end of night
I offer at Your dawn.

All the chirpings in the morning
all the hot rays of noontime
all the colourful lights of evening
I have assembled in a tray to welcome You.

With the trace of the song that concluded
I keep myself alive.

In the frenzy of the melody
that floats towards infinity
I keep dancing.

I practised
individually and collectively present melodies
that emanated from effulgence.
Although I had not noticed them before
I had already been playing them.

Silently, through the sandal breeze
and the colourful dream of the night
they were whispered into my ears.
These melodies still linger on inside me.

O Lord, when there was nobody with me in the night on the path, You were accompanying me
taking care. In the crimson morning, with the arrival of light, all came to ask about my
welfare. All the own, worldly people, whom I considered closest, whom I liked as my most
intimate, were not seen during my sufferings, came to kindle lamp during noon of happy
days. O my Dearest, my own, remove entire intense darkness of inertia, awaken the morning
of consciousness in life. So that I ever consider You close to me.

O Lord, I go on floating in Your name, without heeding to any obstruction. I do not listen
to any cries and look only in the front. From the initial point of creation, I have moved
in the stream of time. I take birth and death, frenzied in Your ideation. I have no fear.
To them whom You belong, everything belongs. With fearless step, I have considered Your
place as mine.

My Krsna was mine and would remain mine for the whole life. My joy, cries and smiles
are sweet resonance of His smile. In the gardens of Vrnda’van, the lively rocks of
Govardhan mountain, over the throne of the King of cowherds, and mental bee, is His
resonance. The way I am surviving, how is that Dear’s style? Even after coming close, He
does not look eye to eye, I do not understand the mode of His illusive game, liila’. He
is there and I am there, merging my mind into His, I get His mind. I have forgotten the
rest of the world as the incomparable gem has pulled me.

O Dear, where did You go leaving me on the shore less path? I go on counting moments
eagerly with the hope of Your arrival. My days do not bring honey, there is smiling moon
in the night. I am sitting in isolation only meditating on One, with intense ideation.
Wherever You are, near or far, do not make me cry with Your delusive game liila’. Smear
on me also the pollen of love, with pleasing tinkling sound of Your ankle bell.

In the mental garden of mine
why did buds appear?
With what intention did You come
and what did You find
in the shivering of the buds?

You spread Your love all around
in flowers, in fruits, on land, in water
and also in the rhythms
of the dancing peacocks of the mind
and on the green covers of the verdant fields.

You have loved all.
Creating a storm with colourful winds
variegated longings and enchantments
You have ensconced Yourself
in the mirror of minds.

O Lord, if You do not look after me, tell me where else shall I go? If You do not grace
me, I would not find a shelter. You provided me affection of mother, love of father, close
friendship and sweet home. You gave me all that with liberally both hands that I never
thought. For me only You remain, though for You entire seven arenas is there. If You do
not come into folds, I would simply drft in the stream.

O the unseen, spotless, destroyer of worldly fears, coming from the heavenly arena, You go
on floating into the world. O the emanator of consciousness, remover of distress, enhancer
of love, You make all dance though Your illusive game, liila’. Nobody can any time know
You with intellect, intuition or scriptures, philosophy or reasoning and logic. All accept
You beyond the world, the Original Deity. You raise waves of love in the bosom of ocean.
For the dust of Your feet, the sages and ascetics are constantly engaged. All the nymphs
demigods and realised are sheltered within You. The golden flag is hoisted on You pole of
consciousness, as You cannot be brought into folds though intellect and ego.

O Lord, when no one existed anywhere, how were You living? There was none to satiate You
by singing and meditating for You. That event, that unwritten history is not being
thought, but You had internal pain at the base of consciousness due to loneliness. There
is no use of thinking about that today, You are everpresent close by. I sing Your song
wholeheartedly, in each layer of feelings.

O Lord, what sort of hue have You poured into the life of the world? You have coloured the
world, O Dear with the cover of colourfulness. You have made the colour oozing from buds
flowers and fruits. Even heaven oscillates dancing with colours. The colour goes on
floating in the space and the netherworld as well as meager microcosms in the world. The
colours decorate the trees, insects and flies, the winter, summer and the rainy seasons
dance by colours. With the flow of colours the zodiac play and the rainbow sings
gigantically.

Forgetting the restful sleep in heaven, came down into mental eyes. In the world, You have
no comparison in beauty and qualities. You remain mixed and merged in all auspicious
tasks. That You have awakened me up and brought vibration. I had forgotten and did not

the pollen of life into the mind, and break the slumber.

molecule tied with the thread of love. You ever keep the drops and ocean within the Your
scope. Hence I go on seeking Your grace at Your pink feet. Whatever I considered as my
own, nothing really belongs to me. All are created within Your mind and remain unified
with Your mind. Reflected within the mini pits and experienced as embodiment of
consciousness. I go on revolving, dancing around with tinkling of ankle bells.

Flashing through the evening hue, You poured glittering life. The ray of hope came down
and from that effulgence You coloured and illuminated. I was thinking that I was alone
that none is my friend, like coloured lines of the rainbow, smile floated at the
intervals. With the tune of love, You spoke, and told me my history. All my pains got balm
with the beautiful, colourful torch of sweetness.

I love and sit at the path for which path there is no return. I get smeared with colours
and pour colours, and look only with shyness. O my distant Friend, come close, O the moon
of the blue sky, smile with joy. My mind seeks Your merciful love during light and shade.
Whether I am close or far, You do know. Whether You consider me small or big, pull me at
Your feetdust with the tinkling of dance of consciousness.

am a pauper with dark night, the lamp core is black dark. The soft glow of the series of
stars, the meager love like firefly. The unexpressed, unheard song, do You like that?

O Lord, with millions of rhythms and charming bliss, what for You go on rushing? Tell
tell me. Through the bamboo lanes, with heavenly glow, unseen for what rendezvous? You do
not heed to any obstruction or distress. You have no aversion to tinkling sound of the
ankle bell and no abstinence for sweet face, You go on pouring love to distressed. You are
singular entity in the entire world. Cosmic expresser, with smiling lips. With happiness
You go on providing touch taking away my agonies and with the flow of nectar go on
floating in the firmament of the mind.

Please come to my home
I continue sitting and waiting
keeping the door open for You.

With flowers of jasmine and bakul
I have prepared a garland for You
and marked my eyes with dark decorations.

Please see that my floral offering
on folded palms
does not become dull
and my wellpracticed tune and melody
is not lost.

And also see that my sweet ma’lati flower root
which I have created in my mind
does not dry up.

With a peacock’s tail in distant sky
I paint the panorama of the unseen one.

Scattering about love
with the fragrance of campaka flowers
I am counting the time of Your arrival
each and every moment.

The spring has come, flowers have bloomed, and the honey oozes out. With very soft breeze
the tender leaves swing, what song does the bamboo grove sing? O the inhabitants, what a
festivity of colour is this? With hearing and thinking today what a game, liila’ of
swings? All the game of creation and destruction, go on merging n One. O Lord, I do not
want anything from You today. I want to lose everything for Your purpose. Refusing the
household works, food and decorative clothing, the microcosm gets immersed in Macrocosm.

O Lord, crossing the difficult desert, bypassing the dark ocean, You came to my arena
accepting many pains. I had no welcome song or glow of wealth, I had only heart full love
suppressed like essence of camelii flower. I was all alone in the world, there was no
loving friend. In my firmament of mind, the golden flag of effluence was not marked. You
came bringing Your own fragrance, and made me forget all. The image of microcosmic
feelings, dissolved in that impulse.

O Lord, why did You stay away far? I have been calling You with tears in forests
difficult roads, hills and caves. Upon the bodies of blue sky and nebula, You love is
poured abundantly. I am meager like a firefly, desirous of rendezvous with You. Come close
to me, what is Your expectation, tell me secretly. O Dear, I have been calling You for
several lives. How many stars came and slipped off, who would keep that in mind? Today
with wings of the swan, the evening star reminds me.

for You through the sky and netherworld from eras after eras. You are Dear, O unseen
spotless, incomparable in beauty, qualities and feelings. You are untouched, eternal, goal
and object of meditation of all on this world. No one has ever understood You, who can
understand the infinite? In the effort of understanding, the blissful feelings overwhelm

the mind? How can I hold You? Sometimes You smear pollen of flower, sometimes You are
heard in the roar of thunder. Sometimes with flame of lightning You burn. Yet, You never
forget me. You apply decorative mark upon my eyes, pour heavenly blessings, You have
abundantly filled this distressed me with fruits and flowers, layers after layers, O

In forests and groves

I continued calling You with tearfilled eyes.

Storms raised
thunders roared
but with a tranquil mind
I heard the footsteps of time
that would remind me of Your mercy.

O supreme Lord
when due to bursting noise
I forget You
wake me up with a blow
and pull me unto Your door
O Controller of the world!

within You. The honey within soft petals of Your bloomed flower, exists within my bosom.
Today, forgetting myself, merged in You, I dress up in Your adornment.

It is an astonishing feeling. O the owner of the world, resort of helpless, the ideation

O Lord, when You had come, there was honey in the mango buds. The bela’ and juhi
flowers, deluded with joy, had poured fragrance. The ignorant wind, coming close, spoke
close to the ears. Within rhythm, beats, dance and songs, particles of love floated. That
event today, along the strings of memories, goes on floating filling the whole world
vibrant with the melody of spring in the recess of the mind secretly.

stealer of the mind, if You do not come, who else would understand this load of mine?
There would be no morning of the night of sorrow, that is why I go on calling You. You
would come with crimson light, illuminating entire darkness, and my good and bad would be
removed, with this hope, I am counting time period.

were no flowers, no butterflies, no lamp in the temples at the evening. There was no moon
or moonlit night, You came, bringing all. With rendezvous of perfect life, and delicate

feelings, You floated all.

understanding You as the embodiment of songs. Your viin’a’ arose melodies in my heart
with song after song. In exchange, feelings arose in sleeping mind. You told me whispering
into ears, “ you are there in the recess of my mind, I am victorious over time, through
meditation and concentration. I also go on calling you, unhindered by creation
sustenance, and dissolution.

O Lord, as sweet sandal, pleasing moon, You reside in various arenas. As active liveliness
of the materialized illumination, You bring vibration each moment. I see You in light
merge in unseen, in the arena of feelings, I float in Your glimpses. O the Great, in the
light of meditation, I surrender my life. There is no one like You. No one can bring any
comparison. Staying upwards, churning the core, with what oscillations do You make all
swing?

You are Lord Hari of the higher arena

In the arbor of songs, and in the vitality of the universe, You have poured consciousness.
Irrespective of own and others, outsiders and insiders, all You pull close. Today morning
I saw that I am only for You. You have written my identity with Your name and Your songs.
I shall also ot stay behind, I shall not think of anything as my own. Whatever was
whatever is present now and whatever went away, why You have not taken?

O Lord, You are present in everyone’s mind, in the depth of feelings, still I go on
searching each moment with restless eyes. I see that in the morning, with crimson light
the earth gets stupefies in You. During evening, the evening star produces joy within You.
I get coloured with different hues by Your resonance. Who live in pain and load of tears
You listen to their story. Who goes on crying in darkness, their history full of agonies
also You hear. I know within core this fact that is why I have come to Your shelter.

O Lord, from heavenly arena, Goloka, You came to the land of Gokula, by whose pull, tell
me. Is it that You did not like heaven and loved Vrnada’van? You remained in the mental
Vrndavan of all due to loving meditation. With heart full smiling face, You sang the song
in each ear. In the eternal abode, You were beyond form and came within the world
Touching the world, in the stream of feelings, You go on floating towards whom?

Having found You close, my mind is satiated. You have come with your sweet smile merged in
the sweetness of eyes. Those to whom You belong, what else would they want? Only for fear
of losing You, my eyes are tearful. Yet with my conviction and faith I remain calm. You
always keep me surrounded with an unknown and unrealised feeling. Stay awake within my
awareness in all ages. This is what my prapatti seeks from You, meditating at your divine
feet.

You brought about heavenly composure.

But now, even night has passed by.

Today, there is no fragrance in my flower
there is no moon in the blue sky.
There is no bliss in life.
Do not You understand that?

I am Your worshipper.
To You, I sing my song.

You continue dancing to the tune of Your flute
without even once looking at me.

O Lord, even if I do not call You, do not forget me. Stay close to me and see me within

noon. Without churning them, with fragrance of pardon, cover it up. Days come and go
through mornings and evenings, and never look to anyone. You look towards me, this request
of mine, You keep in the mind.

O Lord, looking at Your arrival path, my days are passing. That which goes, does not
return again, even the memory of that is also lost. What flower bloomed and when, in what
tune the flute sounded, who has seen with loving eyes, all that who remembers? With layers
of atoms and molecules, the mountains and the oceans are created. The One who brought
those atoms, the mind wants Him only.

O Lord, You recognise me but I am unable to understand You. You watch me, but I do not see
You. In the intense burning heat of sun, Your glimpses are seen. In awareness of sound of
cloud and rain, You do not forget me. With fragrance of winter shefa’lii flower, You
remain in my mind and heart. With the covering of snow during winter, I do not forget Your
expression. Within inertia of winter, Your sweetness exists. At the end of drowsiness of
spring, You provide the will again.

Today in the garden during spring and the depth of the mind, the oscillating wind provided
a swing. Whatever was suppressed in the heart, whatever was in the mind, in that golden
line of memory is painted. The sorrow that is never possible to forget in life, The story
that is kept in the core of the mind, the pleasure that charmed, all that, alas, go on
floating in the unseen illusion. Come O dear companions and friends, today let us not cry
on this soft night. With engrossed eyes look at the existence, glow and bliss, which all
the three merge and dissolve into the One.

Why did He come and why did He go away, who knows that, tell me, secretly. He left heap of
love, as collection of pearls. That Dear did not tell anything, I also did not tell Him to
come again. He only told me, “ Whatever you want, ask, everything is with me”. After
that He did not come again, did not convey any news. Only the load full of memory
remained, with the tears of moist eyes.

buds that You brought on the camelii creeper, on that why did not You bloom flowers? The
mango branch that was bowed with buds, the shalmalii flower that was colourful, You went
forgot all, in their bosom, You did not bring fruit. Even if You went, perhaps forgot
probably ignored the mental casket of gems, still, all that incidence, sweet history, even
by mistake, I shall never forget.

You are my Krsna.
I love You day and night.

You are unseen
without blemish
full effulgence.

But I am just a meager minute twinkle of a firefly.

In this creation
You are endless and beginningless
sometimes terribly frightening
and sometimes affectionately kind.

With just one smile of Yours
the world becomes restless.
With Your joy the ocean swings.

I cannot be compared to You
for, You are Yourself a perfect example.

I was floating in a stream like a flower.
You lifted me up and sang Your song to me.

thorns? The ma’dhavii creeper, told the fact with songs, the apara’jita’ creeper
made forget all sorrows, leaving all that You went far away, and never returned back. My
kanak campa’ flower is covered with fog, sweetness smeared illumination is suppressed
with darkness, looking at that, without telling a thing, You went deluding mercilessly?

You are present everywhere in the world

I also exist in Your physical arena.
Please do not forget this small companion of Yours.

Failure and progress both are embedded in You.
I come and go whereas You are the ultimate desideratum.

I climb and fall, You keep on observing me.
This magnanimity of Your eyes kindly continues.

they are sometimes far, sometimes close, full of melody, as I think. In deep, dense dark
night, sometimes lost in the darkness of hopelessness. Then looking at the eastern sky, I
get rhythm of hope, and I see that the morning light is gold scattering. When lonely in
the world, crying and crying, I think that there is no one as mine in the three arenas and
heaven, You, sitting unseen, smile scattering pearls. And tell, “ I am not lost”.

O Lord, You came to my home on one full moon night. You enchanted me with songs, dance and
overwhelming pull. You listened to my feelings of the mind and removed all my sufferings.
You created a history of sweet floral garlands. But why suddenly You went away leaving me
alone. You even covered that memory with the fog of time.

O the innermost, Dearest, I love You. In fire and air, in distant blue sky, I see You, day
and night. Continuously I talk of You, losing myself within You. O adorable, O revered
come down to my mental arena. I have no consideration of Your qualities, see the world
held in form. O the kaostubha diamond gem, mine of wealth, pardoning my mistakes, grant me
wee bit of Your grace.

O Lord, looking for You, my day passes and night goes crying. You have dried up the honey
in the pollen and flowed stream of tears from the eyes. I have heard much that You are
Kind and Graceful, but at my time, why do I see otherwise? You did not come close, did not
understand my pain, with what twine, should I tie You? You did not play flute in the
niipbush, did not awaken smile on the coloured lips. Did not come and spoke in the
ma’dhavii arbor, O my eternal being.

This spiritual divine flame is not to be extinguished. It has awakened the sky and stars
is it not so? By the glimpse of love what have you done? By the shine of humanity, you
removed the hell. The excellence of miracle is known to the world, the nightingales of
heaven are singing this always. The world is swinging by His grace. This decency of
outlook has remained throughout the life. You also have given the spiritual failures. I
have to worship, appease you with these buds and flowers from the garden of the world.

anything from anyone. You are helpful to all. You are ocean of kindness. You are resort of
helpless in life and death. I have relationship with since eras after eras. I am obedient
to You from beginning till end. Never forget me, never go away far, I have come into Your
shelter, O the Great Creation, Maha’sambhu’ti.

a’lpana’, on the path, and tied the loose chignon. Decorating the tray with the buds
of kadamba flower, I am waiting at Your arrival path. The day has passed, evening
deepened, the dust made by cowhoofs is lost. Yet the evening star told, “ He cannot
forget anytime”.

Where have those nights gone, today?
There is no moon in the sky of Vraja
(the childhood place of Krsna).

The water flowing in the
Jamuna river has dried up.
What distress has occured to our Gopal?

We searched all over in the forests of Vrindavan
no one is seen with a smiling face.
The devotees are crying: "Where is He?"
Now there is no more light
but only pitch darkness.

There is no peacock dance on the tama'l trees.
There is no flower decoration on the kadamba trees.
A thunderbolt has fallen
on everyone's hopes.
The once smiling sea now carries waves of gloom.

O my mother, motherland, the land of Aunga, for you I have accepted life. With your grace
and hand of blessing, I am surviving on the earth. I do not want any wealth or effluence
I do not seek fame or rare honor. I only ask for feeling of bliss and the satisfaction of
serving You. The light that I had seen at the initial morning as lotus of my life, that I
am keeping bright at your lotus, seeking for Your affection each moment.

O Lord, I love You. Not in the worldly house but in the mental home. Thus I have decorated
my mental temple. O my Dearest, owner of the world. Thus I bow before You millions of
times. You are creation, sustenance and the ultimate desideratum, I know this essence in
the nonessence world. When there was nothing, You existed. You would remain when nothing
will exist. All would stay within Your shelter in seed form, from a blade of grass to the
cosmos dancing with ankle bell.

I was looking towards the sky sitting alone, on the shore of the blue watered impulsive
sea, close to golden sand with upsurge of dust. The sun had set, the moon had arisen
smiling appearing with less glow. The lotus went, the lily came swinging with oscillating
wind. Those who were sitting with me, went away into dense night, telling that meeting
with the dear most would occur.

You had given me the word that You would come again, in the day of flower, with
honeysmeared breeze. I am sitting impatiently with earnestness with the hope of Your
arrival. But several evenings, mornings, days and nights, sandal breeze of springs went
away in disappointment. Suddenly looking towards my own self, I saw You smiling hidden
within the mind, kindling the lamp of the five sheaths as a selfluminous gem.

The fire that You have ignited in all minds by delusive play, liila’, that flame would
not be extinguished any time. The tune in which You sang the song, the song through which
You loved, are merged in the earth. Your straightness, and affection that are foundation
of equality in society, the sweetness of which would continue for eras after eras in the
world. O Dear, You are beyond attributes, and located as form within the base of formless
ness. You are unlimited in determination, self established by virtue of austerity.

O Lord, when You had come, there were buds on mangobranches. Hearing Your footsteps
fragrance came floating. Then honeybee came rushing and air floated in earth and heaven.
In moonlight resonance appeared and provided touch over the tree skin. That spring night I
have not forgotten, the fountain of honey in gentle breeze. The inclusion of rhythm within
deep drowsiness, keeping awake, tiredness came.

O Lord, I think in solitude, why do You continue to perform this unique game, liila’
with me? It is hard to understand why day and night, with sleeping mind, You go on pulling
me. There are many fruits and flowers, this world is there, many atoms and molecules
small and big, several trees and creepers, many good and bad, forgetting all why do You go
on calling me. The sunlight of the morning, chirping of the birds, creation of sweet charm
in the core of the mind, amongst all, I am most undeserving, why do You love me so much?

With the hope of His footstep, I look towards the unseen. Calling stars of the blue sky, I
sing songs to them. With the illusion of dark rainy clouds, the ketakii flower produces
pollen. The closed mind inquire with inquisitiveness, Who is that, I seek Him. The ages
are lost in eras, even after finding Him close, I could not understand Him. I only ask the
unknown, if there is any end to my waiting.

O Lord for how much time I had forgotten You. Moving through the high path, I have fallen
into stream of ocean. The golden lotus remained unrecognised. The days were dull due to
dishonor and lack of capability. The nights passed lifeless and without air. Sometimes the
northern wind snatched away the desires and achievements absorbing me in inertia. The
springtime came, and the flowers became colourful. The illuminated moonlit night came with
sweet breeze, with peacock’s call. The sandal breeze came and raised shivering, and
told, “ Listen, Whose viin’a’ is being played”?

O Lord, on this festivity of light, all are present except You. Even in the essence of
Ganges water, I do not find Gangadhar, Shiva. The tufts of Shiva is spread, quivering the
sky and netherworld with the sound of Tand’ava, I uselessly play the flute. All the
three aspects of time merge into One, and with frenzied impulse swings. The internal sound
floats and as such how can I continue singing?

O Lord, the Touch Stone Gem, You go on flying like a glittering golden flag. You speak in
clear words and do not melt by web of languages. Those who do not have same inside and
outside, and speak cleverly the cunning words, their real form and acquaintance, You
expose before all. I am meager, like glow of a worm. My shine is within Your womb. Within
intense dark fog, I struggle overwhelmingly.

O Dear, very Dear, why have You kept me away? O the embodiment of effulgence, You have
scattered light in all the three arenas. There is no comparison of Your occult powers.
Your creation, I find in all the aspects of time. With joy of heavenly effulgence, You
ever go on dancing with ankle bells. From beginning less period, around infinity, You go
on playing flute, both outside and inside. With resonating ray of hands, and dance, You
fill the cosmos all around.

O Lord, with hope of Yours and for being close to You, for satiating You, I go on singing
the song. You have given much, more than expected, nothing is left for seeking and
achieving. The eyes are full of black decorative marks, morning birds and peacocks are
chirping. Smearing sweet fragrance of colourful flowers, the heart dances with
exhalations. You have provided sunlight, and eveninglamp, and rainy niip flower during
summer. You have given love, home, and livelihood. Whatever You have given, I do not find
any comparison of that.

O Lord, the touch that You have left in my mental garden, not floral garden, the fragrance
of that, I get even today each moment. O my distant friend, You went and did not show.
Sitting, I cry alone with oscillating quivers. Why did You come like that and left vital
resonance? The resonance of that in leaves and flowers has given beauty in my sweet
garden.

O Lord
for You so many eras have passed.

So many stars have fallen
and flowers dropped onto the ground.

So many nights went by
and so many mornings ended up in disappointed.

The evening lamps became extinguished
giving way to darkness.

Today only You found time
to remember the pain of the distressed.

The dark night is now over.
The full moon rose anew.

flower also comes with empty heart. With equal show comes Your affection, destroying
fatigue and agony. O Lord, listen to my prayer, do not be indifferent towards me. I am
offering the heap of love upon Your feet, I am indebted in hundreds of ways.

attainments, desires and abundant illumination. The flowers blooming in the morning were
intoxicated in dancing and laughing and spread fragrance. Has it disappeared in darkness?
Even today, through the crimson glow of the eastern sky, the colours of pollens tinged
with affection and the melodies of meghamalla’r and diipak, it articulates its deep
feelings of love.

O Lord, You had come, opened the door, and singing the song satiated the mind. You told
“ Do not cry, do not keep pessimism, I am Yours, look. Let sorrow, bad time and extreme
distress come, let the illusive web of infatuation come, do not deviate by anything, do
not forget the goal, tear the fog if it engulfs. The intimate acquaintance of Yours and
mine, You are mine and my “I” is nonexistent without You. Within me, Your victory is
certain, the swing of heaven oscillates on finding me.

Within moments, with joy, I have recognised in a new way.

items. The meteorites, creepers, desert, fountains, all are attuned to only one melody.
Today, the rain of mercy has come, the flowing tide has brought current of love. Under the

Remaining without attributes, You are collection of all attributes. With infinite

O Lord, why have You kept me forgotten? I have been constantly searching You in many eras
in hills, deserts, and mountains. Crossing thorough the atoms, I went on searching You in
jungles and trees, in series of rivers, difficult forest lanes, crossing the darkness. O
the Initial God, You do not neglect any thing, and remove the deficiency of all
constantly. Then, why do not You understand my agony, am I outside the world?

In the bamboo grove, flute is played. Nowhere else but in mental garden, ignoring hundreds
of jobs. When the morning sunrays come and enter into the eyes, it tells me, “ He has
sent me close to you”. Like frenzied bee, that flute smilingly tells into my heart, “
See, I am close”. The smile of the evening star, joyfully, tells me, “Do not worry.
That smile appears in the mind. That Unknown traveler, steadfast in illusive game
liila’, loves all, beautifully adorned with decoration of attributes”.

O Lord, having searched You in various pilgrim places, wandering, becoming exhausted
finally I reached the altar gate. O Lord, do not be apathetic, and displeased, open the
door and allow me inside. My feet are fatigued and smeared with dust. My tired red face is
smeared with sweat. Carrying the mist of disappointments, I am unable to tread the path
due to load of agonies. Still in my garden flowers bloom, even today the creeper of hope
oscillates on the swing. The stream of feeling is eager with the thought that the tide
will make it full.

Where has my Lord Krs’na gone, where is He hiding? I have been searching Him all the
time morning, evening, day and night, with eyes flowing tears. Wandering in search for
Him, for Him the tears flow. My Lord Krsna is neither in Vrindaban, nor in Gokul, nor even
in Mathura. Where has He gone? From which divine world is He playing His flute and
herding his cows. Churning my mind and melting my heart, what sort of the current of
lovebond is this? How is this love for Him? He has snatched away the mind without giving
His mind. What is His system of play, liila’, in which I lose myself. Still I shall go
on searching, without getting stopped by any obstruction. Treating the stones on the
path as lotus, I shall search that polestar. My hold has to work, removing the storm, He
shall have to come into my folds, as the dark fog is never permanent.

O Lord, our first meeting was on the shore of the ocean of beauty. You did not talk to me
with red lips. I was eager to listen, was standing after saluting You. I was listening to
the reverberation of the ears, in the depth of the core. When You wanted initially, I got
touch of love, the sweet resonance of the arena of feelings surrounded by the
collectivity.

O Lord, though the smile of moon, You smile and go on dancing through the peacock’s
dance. You listen to the events of all minds, and take position in everyone’s mind. By
playing the hand held drum, d’ambaru in thunderous sound, shivering the sky with
annihilating song, by prescribing strength in jumping dance, Ta’ndava, the blackness of
dirt, You have removed. You are the solitary Purus’a, controller of the Prakrti, remove
the dirt and destroy the poison of the ego. Not oblique, but straight like the king of
mountains, as tall as a large gregarious sa’l tree, You remain.

O Lord, how much illusive play, liila’, You go on performing? You have provided honey in
the flowers, soft moon in the sky, nowhere You have left emptiness. The flute that was
never played, the heart that did not cry, O Lord, You have awakened and with filled that
with coloured affectionate feelings. In the dark nights of ignorance, by putting the
ointment of knowledge in the eyes, into the sand burnt heart, unsought, You have poured
flow of nectar.

In the tide of effulgence, I searched You, O Lord, but even after knowing, I could never
recognise You. Wandering through the darkness of infatuation uselessly, I thought that in
I would find You, O Lord. Was it due to spot in moonlight, or there was ego in my
spiritual endeavour? Is it because the creeper touched the poisonous tree? Yet I continued
my efforts. Suddenly, the blessings came with golden flow, the ego and pride floated away
in that. The dark window was opened by the wind, coming in the smiling illumination, You
were standing, O Lord.

do not know, when shall You speak out, O Dear, and tell me that You were mine and I am
Yours. On the movement path, take this article of mine, on all the ways of rise and fall
creation and destruction.

I see You
get absorbed in Your love
and think about You only.
You are the light that eliminates darkness.

In the deep recess of my mind
during solitude
You convey to me all events.

You pour life into

All exhalations of hopes
knells of destruction
the diipak melody

Who knows why the unknown traveler, Ajana Pathik has come in our life. Due to His grace
flowers got nectar and sweet moon existed in the sky. In dark minds, light came. What I
could never imagine, that I started doing. Invoking Him in my mental home, I called Him
secretly. Looking at Him with unblinking eyes, I talked to Him in seclusion. I saw the
Supreme Consciousness as initial aggregate of glows. As unique ideation above language
dancing with soft feet and ankle bells.

O Lord, during which spring You had come into the mind, I have forgotten the date and time
of that. With loving feeling, and hue of spring, what a web of delusion You had created.
During dark night, You brought full moon, You pulled my smallness into Great. You told
“ your slimness in consciousness would be vibrant in ocean”. After that numerous
streams flowed away. Due to obstructions, the memory has faded. But what have You said in
the depth of mind, that Dear does not accept any consideration of time.

and ever I listen to His flute in the ears. I do not know coming from which source, the
tune of the flute has entered the core of the heart, making me lose all the ego, that the
arbor in the garden knows. O the Dear Unknown Traveler, accept my salutations even staying
at distance. Keeping me with tearful eyes, You create divine game, liila’. O The
embodiment of Consciousness, in this Vrndavan.

end of it tide comes. At the end of delusion, illumination appears, individually and

With intense drowsiness in darkness, how many eras have passed, I do not know. The soft
breeze in the distant blue sky what story says, I do not understand. How many aspirations
have given rise to disappointments, how many floral gardens were covered with fog, by
constructing house at the mountain top, how many insects are there I do not see. How much
do I know the cosmos and nature, I go on floating without beginning and end. The ego has
kept me deaf, that is why I do not listen to Your message.

I have been loving You
in all aspects of life.

You did not come close.
You did not realise my agony.
Why did You stay far away?

My mornings went by in playing and jumping.
Noon passed by in cosmetic activities.
In the evening
while arranging my garland for You
darkness came about.

Yet, even now, there is hope in the mind
and I seek the kindness and grace of my Lord.
Life and death both belong to You only.
I therefore beg for shelter at Your feet.

On this full moon of rainy season, with the resonance of d’ambaru in the cloudy sky, the
eyes are submerged in the flood of tears. O Dear, how far have You remained, leaving me
alone? I float in ups and down and the cycle of time does not stop. Still I understand
that I remain Yours and I call You in the mind. If You do not come, is not this call of
mine and waiting for You, waste? With sweet will and resonance of sweetness, giving me
pain O beyond time, You went. Tell me this fact, stop this illusive game, liila’
smiling with sweet face.

The current of rainwater goes on flowing, goes on flowing. Those who come, no one stops
and as per order all rush on the path. Those flowers that were sleeping within the leaves
they become open with pollen. Getting moist with sweetness of honey, the petals whither
away into unknown. Who is that Lord, effulgent with mercy, illuminating the dark life?
Filling the wandering vigor with spirit, pull the smiling hearted world.

The current of rainwater goes on flowing, goes on flowing. Those who come, no one stop
moving in their own flow. The buds hidden within leaves, they too slowly become flower.
Honey further filled the sweetness, and their petals withered. O Lord, full of mercy, in
the neglected mind, pour vitality. Make the sleeping life fearless and attract it closer.

O Lord, thinking of You my days are passing. You do not look towards me. When I see light
in the morning, which You like, the coloured sun speaks that there is no comparison of
Yours. In the intense heat of the sun, the wants to get mercy, lamenting with tearful
eyes, how much it speaks unblinking? The evening stars explain that the Dear is not far.
Sleeping and awake for eras after eras, He listens to the distant sound.

O land of Aunga!
(the area where Ba'ba' was born
brought up and served)
You are a land of beauty.
On earth another such a place cannot be found.

In the north, the Himalayas exists
in the south, the Gidhaku’t’a mountain touches Your feet

and in the middle, the river Ganges flows.
It has no comparison in the heaven.

Aungika (the people of Aungabhumi)
are financially poor but mentally rich.

O traveler, visit my home.
Please be seated a while
and listen to my pains and pleasures.

O king of my mind
You know the truth.

You are my father, I am Your son.
You are my elder, I am Your younger.

I have offered You my body and mind.
My enitre breath now floats into the sky.

My Aungabha’s’a’ (the language of Angabhumi)
is as sweet as honey.
Like my mother
my mother tongue language is also great.

O dear friend
please come
and listen to my songs.
The whole world accepts
the excellence of the Aungabha’s’a’.

O Lord, if You do not come, useless is my threading of garland. Waste is creation of
floral bed, and rehearsing of welcome song. With southern sandal breeze, sitting alone in
balcony, I look unblinking, towards You unknown path. Ignoring my wish, do not go away
anywhere else. During moist rainy night, with fully wet wind, into the eyelids full of
hope, bring the message with tides.

The victory drum sounds, suddenly, at whose instance, tell me. Your voice is heard in the
sky and netherworld. I hear Your trumpet in the air. Where the sinners have hidden? Those
who brought shadow of darkness, those who covered with delusive fog, those who opened out
the devilish teeth, with annihilating fire, they burnt. Shining in the eastern sky
endowed with truth and straightness, with torch of colour, Who has coloured it?

O the unknown traveler, come to my home for a moment. I have threaded the garland with the
twine of cries and smile. Make it purposeful, by wearing that into Your neck. Looking
towards the path, sitting in the balcony, I call my distant friend secretly. You charm all
with rhythm and songs, would this illusive game, liila’, remain far? You are singular
and all want You, the Dear, Parama Purus’a, with tearful eyes. Yet, why do not You look
to them? This question arises in the mind again and again.

O Lord, at the end of the day, in the arena of sleep, You told that You would steer the
boat for crossing over. I did not recognise, nor I called, still I loved with eyes open. I
was tired due to labor, wandering whole day in the material arena. When darkness came
down, I call You lifting up. Who is that You, the merciful Lord, it was my mistake that I
called You merciless. You do not keep anybody away, attract each one forgetting their
mistakes.

the date only smile I have kept in the mind. With that charming, world forgetting deluding
smile, You had told, “ I love You”. You told, “in the recess of mind, secretly, I
always dwell”. It is not possible to forget You at all, All my endeavour is with only.
Those who tell that I have forgotten You, they remain oblivious.

O Lord, on this illumination of morning, You came filling the world with beauty of smile.
The living beings of darkness, fostering fear, went away, getting glimpse of Your arrival.
The owls, enemies of crows, dance, raising the tails, the jackal cubs shout with high
pitch. At the end of laughter, the wolfs and venomous chameleons have hidden due to
defeat. Coloring the eastern hills, the sleeping and lifeless awakened again. Filling hope
in the disappointed hearts, You arrived bringing affection and vitality.

O Lord, You came into my mind secretly, and flashed its firmament vibrating it with
different colour waves of yours. That vibration swings the universe, enchants it and
drives the immortal melodies into the far distant space. That vibration is hard to forget.
I am constantly surrounded by its glow. It makes one forget one’s agony and brings
awareness in the realm of contemplation.

ocean, even there, O Lord, Your glow is present. That glow through the planets, stars and
nebula, calls everyone.

O Lord
I found the world of light.
Darkness has vanished.

I went deep inside
and found You closer.

Crossing barriers of whirlpools
traversing desolate and extensive fields
passing through rattling markets
I finally attained You this morning.

I reached Your abode
leaving aside many colourful panoramas.
Without discriminating
between what is my own
and what belongs to others
I attained You in all the strata of life.

O Lord, You went away giving a direct vision, and then You did not see towards me again. O
the everunknown traveler, were You unmindful then? Sitting alone in the balcony, I was
looking towards the path. In the recess of the eye, secret dream was sketched Your sweet
smile and long resonance. Did You forget that event, the gap of meager heart, which
oscillates at the shore of feelings with overwhelming mind, that had broken the bounds and
does not heed to ay bondage even during flood of tides?

O Lord, the world loves You, why do not You love that? Under Your shade and Your
motivation, all perform Your sa’dhana’. O Dear, with the smile of Your forehead mark
the entire universe is intoxicated with absorbed gesture. By Your displeasure and
averseness or disfavour, no one can survive. Within the eightsided mountains, seven
oceans, both sided flooded river, pitch dark night, stars and nebula, small and big, why
are You hidden tell me.

O Lord, You remained awake in my mind, I do not know for what reason. All my desires and
achievements go on merging in You. Your sweet smile, like bright winter moonlight
removing the pain and pleasure, fills with bliss. That nectar like message with impulse I
had heard. That melody in the core of my mind I had preserved. That hue in my mind, each
moment colours constantly with new feelings. By thinking about You, all my agonies are
removed. On forgetting You, all infatuations and attachments surround me. Calling You near
with sweetness smeared feeling all take place by Your mercy.

Who is that person, who has forgotten me like that on the shore of the ocean of beauty? I
do not know Him, do not know. With intense drowsiness, I see Him, but unable to understand
how He cannot come into folds. I call Him into the recess of the home, worship Him on the
stone altar, search Him in pilgrim places and forests, that traveler yet has not come.
Sometimes I say that He is merciless and deceitful. Sometimes I call Him as Lord of life.
By not finding Him, I become afflicted with pain, yet, I did not see my own mistake.

The autumn came and shefa’lii flower smiled with sweet mild breeze. The rainy season
passed, leaving young grass, and water stream goes on flowing. The boat of white clouds
goes on floating. The snowfull night produces shivers with dews. The tide of joy is
produced unseen and seeks the sweetness of life, everunknown friend. It produces in the
flowering tall grass, soft smile swinging it and scatters fragrance of a’ta’ and
va’ta’vii flowers in the nights. It removes tiredness and awakens hopes, enabling the
Unknown Traveler to be got on search.

O Lord, even on giving word, why did not You come? Coming to my home, and sitting beside
You told me before leaving that You would never forget me. As welcome preparation, I had
tied garland of baul flowers on my chignon, worn bangles of shiulii flowers, I had
decorated the tray with kadam flowers, where did You go and did not return, did not take
that? On my palm trees, resin came. On sha’l trees, ta’l d’angra’ came, why I do
not understand. On anjiir tree and on maul many leaves came. I do not know, whether You
have come without telling.

O Bhaerava, Shiva, on the morning of new era, in what adornment have You arrived? With
Your unprecedented trumpet You have awakened all. You have brought the annihilating
serpent with You, with intense heat and blood, You have filled the world. You have spread
the frenzied tuft of hair, with trident and long horn in hands. You have filled the deadly
poison in the throat. With resonating noise, You have kindled fire. You have smeared
mirage in the core, beyond the sand of desert.

O the Merciless, where are You going? Giving me this courtyard and not looking at me
towards whose core of mind are You rushing? Scattering the fragrance of campa’ and bakul
flowers, removing the petals on the sweet nucleus, awakening beauty in the ocean of forms
whose heart are You searching in the heaven? Hope after hope, there is no end of hope, not
even the wish of the trace of the fog of tiredness is left. Only the after feeling of Your
sweet smile and love is present. Forgetting all, towards whom are You going?

of the core of mind, What Your illusive game, liila’ is this, O Merciful? You are the
essence of pollen of mind through dance, rhythm and charming bliss. Where nothing is
there, You are there. Where there is no feeling, You have filled as thoughtlessness.
Though the niip, tama’l and rhythm of love, You have swung the article of love.

liila’, You know well that I cannot survive with You forgotten. Yet You did not
understand the agony of this microcosm and did not show mercy. Since many eras, I have
been meditating on You, for how many births, I remembered You, performing Your
sa’dhana’ day and night, mornings and evenings.

The morning keeps coming opening the closed door. The sweet mental creeper wants to get
entangled with that. The eyes like the illumination of the new sun, all the shyness, fear
and impurities go on merging into that effulgence. The bright rays of light go on entering
the core of the mind. The ego gets lost fainting into that effulgence. Within the isolated
corners of the mind, there are no clouds anywhere. That glow, the song of nectar, appears
in the mental heaven. The One, Whom I have been calling constantly without consideration
of time, since eras after eras on this earth, full of dust, He Himself came today and
tells with love, “I am constantly with you, never forget me”.

You spread unwarranted love.

Those coming to You for shelter

You provide vital energy to both small and big.

Irrespective of whether people want You or not
You think of all.
You have no comparision.

The sandal breeze of spring came. Into the arbor of ma’dhavii flower, groups and groups
of honeybee came and tender leaves appeared. The mango branches have become full of buds
the colourful sha’lmalii and kim’shuk flowers smile. Even shiris’ does not move away
to distant depth. That also speaks out unseen. The footsteps of bakul flower are heard
indistinctly. The buds of bela’ flowers tend to bloom at the tip of the branch. The
songs of cuckoo is totally expressed losing the love, as sweetness absorbed casket of

O Lord, You had told to return, why have You forgotten that matter. The mental peacock
ideating on You, with tinkling of anklebell and feelings, dances. The chignon ornament
merging with dust, wants the touch of Your love. With the red glow of sunset, why do not
You pull them close? O The Purus’a of life, Dear to all, unlimited in beginning, middle
and the end, You are base of all, though remaining without any foundation, listen to the
one prayer of the microcosm.

Much before the end of the evening, I was sleeping in that night, even after occurrence of
morning, that sleep did not break, I was so much engrossed in that inertia, I saw in dream
the everlasting forest, saw the coverage of flowers and grass. I saw along with floral
decoration, sweetness smeared mind of a nymph. You had told all, “ By calling me, you
continue staying with me”. At the end period of the night, I saw the formless, in the
effulgent form, I saw in that eternal illumination, the Unknown Traveler, full of love.
You told all, “ He is the Purus’a, whom all want to attain. You also remain within
their microcosm during sorrows, pleasure and bliss.

O Lord, I love You, but why that I do not know, do not understand. In the light of full
moon, tides come, I know it comes, but why does it come, that I do not know. The honeybee
comes with the hope of flowers, floating impulsively in sweet flow. At the end of
delusion, under Your illumination, I have come, do not You see that? O Dear Unknown
traveler, towards this meager also look once, even though I do not have any sa’dhana’
please give me particles of the dust of Your feet.

The One, whose sweetness I wanted to explain, does not come. He remained far in the
dreamland, probably He did not recognise me. He remains unseen in the forest of tuft of
hairs, and oscillates on the swing with sandal breeze in the bushes of niip, with rhythm
song, feelings and dance with the ankle bell sound, but why does not He look towards me?
He is my Dear, the Unseen, Spotless, Revered and remover of sorrows, adorable and charmer
of all minds, even after being held, He does not come into folds.

O Lord, why do You stay away, and go on smiling remaining far. You have filled the world
with Your beauty, and into niip and fresh lotus flowers, You fill sweetness. With crimson
rays, You spread Your feet, and remove the darkness of nights. With Your gesture, the
annihilating clouds appear. With Your song and will, the earth is created. With the
twisting gesture of Your eyebrow, the death faints, yet with the delusion of Your
liila’, You remain hidden.

In each vessel, atom and molecule of matter, You pervade as most valuable treasure of
soul. Whether I like it or not, but I reside in Your heart. You surround and pervade each
pore of the universe. You are the owner and I am servant. You are the ultimate

O stranger!
You are to only move ahead.
You shouldn't wander about in darkness.
Constantly look at Your goal.

There are thousands of negative attractions lurking
related to eating, drinking and sleeping.
It's a cycle is deaths and births
of coming, going and weeping.

You are not to stop and worry
You are to move ahead.

In front of You lies new life
filled with light.
Your life will be full of honey and sweetness.
Unknowingly, O stranger
You possess the precious treasure of love
and the string of closeness.

Only one cotraveler is Your own.
You are to recognise Him only.

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

O traveler
keep on moving ahead.
Without guessing in the dark
keep looking at Your goal.

There are numerous calls
pertaining to comforts like eating
drinking and sleeping.

The cycle of birth and death
is associated with coming
going and weeping.
You should not pause
and think anything, but go ahead.

The new life ahead
is full of light and sweetness.
An affectionate string
of precious and unknown love is waiting.

You must recognise
only one entity:
Your only ever companion.

The sun is sleeping.
Now listen to my heart's desire.

This coming of mine is for a few days only
my smiles and cries
are also but for some nights.

I keep doing the same work every day.
Tell me what the reality is.
With what an excuse do You make me work?

The moonlight shines for a short time only.
The fragrance of flowers lasts but for a fraction of seconds.

These are just excuses of Yours for avoiding me.

Why did You bring me into the crowd?
Please explain this to me.

Without assurance You came to my soul

Why are the stars dancing?

My heart was crying in distress
my life was a thirsty desert.
There was no ray of hope falling into my eyes.
My eyes were tearfilled.

Suddenly a new fragrance awakened my soul
carrying a message of love.
The desires were fulfilled, good luck came.
He settled in my heart.

they, bowing their heads, kissing the earth, told that new love is obtained.

Forget the ruins, troubles and the events of distress.
Enemies, forget all enmity, a new philosophy has come.

O brother, let us move forward. Carrying and being surrounded by the events of the past, I
do not want to keep on crying. The memories of the sorrows, songs of joy, whatever I am
carrying, the smile and crying, ruby and emerald, that I think, pulling and bringing them
again, why should I allow my mind to get lost? Whatever has happened in the past, whatever
is happening, whatever is accumulated in the casket of my mind, removing them again, I
sing the song of progress. Only the symbol of new dawn remains in front of me. I would not
be afflicted with heart broken by pains and agonies. I shall fight, create a new world
without heeding to resistances.

O Lord, for You I have kept awake, day and night, thinking only about You. O the taker of
all the three sorrows, You destroy the pain. Other than You everything is without essence.
Within the clouds in the sky, within intense thunder, I hear Your sound inside and
outside. The only sorrow is that I did not get You close, with afflicted mind, I think of
the shortage. With the arrival of spring, and shooting of the tender leaves, dispelling of
snow from the mortal earth, the song that floats, the particle of love smiles, within
that Your fragrance is merged.

mental Gokul, suddenly flooded overwhelmingly both sides, and that no longer remained
secret. Today the Unknown traveler is not away, within my mind, He won over me. Accepting
my own ego, brought defeat, His call I heard in the resonance of the mind.

O Lord, after momentary love, You hid by delusion of liila’. I remained with the hope of
Your arrival, this arrival cannot be called coming. The bud of hope withered down, You did
not speak about coming again. This time, I move towards You, below the palm trees of
mental Gokul. O the Merciless, the mind is not consoled, yet You are the Lord of my mind.
This time, the distance between You and me, float away into the water of effulgent
Yamuna’ river.

O Lord, I search You again and again within forests, mountains, flow of stream, pilgrimage
and at the oceanshore. You did not show Yourself, did not come close, did not look even
for a moment. The melody, vibrated by which the world swings. The garland of love of
which, the heart forgets. The Great Mantra by which even the stone melts, that why did not
You give me? If You do not want to come close, remain away. But only keep an eye on my
mind. During storms, typhoons, lamentations of dismay, stay around me.

O Lord
thinking of You
my mind loses all its bondages.

Come quickly
O one who scatters sweetness!
Come back to the banks of the overflowing Yamuna river!

Come back to the grove of Niipa flowers!
Come back to the root of the Tama’l tree!

Forget the land of Vraja and Gokul.
The earth is calling.

I don't know how many ages have passed.
I have shown earnestness in hundreds of ways.
My entire ego is now gone.
You play Your flute
and spread Your sweet, pearlscattering smile.

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

When I think of You
my mind goes beyond all bondages.
O sweet One, come quickly
to the banks of the overflowing Jamuna river.

The earth is calling
come back, come back
to the forgotten land of the devotees of Vraja
to the grove of Niipa flowers
to the root of the Tamal tree.

I don't know how many ages have passed.
I have appealed in thousands of ways.
All disappointments have passed.
O Krsna, the brightest jewel of the crown
You play Your flute and spread Your sweet smile.

gets lost in the horizon. Your eyes penetrate the nebula and goes on overflowing in the
firmament of the mind. Without feet and hands You perform dances. Though without eyes and
ears, yet, You witness and listen. Whatever happened, what is happening and what would
happen in future. All are within Your mind, I understand.

Sitting alone
I keep thinking both morning and evening
that in the whole of three worlds
no one is my own.
I am alone, absolutely alone.

I continue watching that the sun rises and sets.
The moon comes and smiles, that too I watch.
They never pause for me.

Which entity makes the sun move?
Who makes the moon smile at twilight?
It is that entity that really exists and will remain?
I want only Him.

For Him only I sing the song with full engrossment.

did You bring me on the earth? My mind rushes to hold You, without willing to heed to any
obstruction. In all feeling, there is only one experience of overwhelming stream of bliss.
All the times that I returned without getting You, I have been going further those times
into nebula, series of stars with tearful eyes smiling with bliss.

close. You do not that my close friend, do not accept the closeness from distance, I shall

O Dear, if You do not come, useless is my home construction. Waste is my sketching of
welcome mark, a’lpana on Your arrival path, and my rehearsing of welcome melody.
Whenever I hear someone speaking about You, I went near him and prayerfully enquired him
where was my Dear. All tell that the Dear stays in the depth of the mind, engrossed in the
illusive game, liila’. Sometimes making one cry, sometimes making one smile, and that is
love, not bondage of planned game.

O Lord, You came without telling, went away without declaring, did not understand my pain
did not think about me. Your illusive game is spread into the seven strata, heaven and
netherworld. My existence is only taking You, my object of meditation and concentration is
only You. Tide came into the river water, and goes on overflowing the banks. You did not
enquire what pain did I have, what was stone. When the down stream flow dries up the
river, who loses constantly. Which deer started crying, that You did not listen.

The day from which Your divine game commenced
from that very day itself
my yearning started.

My eyes are weeping, filled with tears.
The minds of all are swinging.

I have no power of austerity.
There is no light, the night is dark.

Now, one ardent desire only is left...
that I may become dust of Your feet.

O my Friend, halt the slumber for awakening. The forest birds started calling, in the
mental garden. You remain ever secluded during the sleep, awaken or dream state. You
oscillate the mind empty handed, blooming the mental flower. You listen about all, know
the history of all. Only my pain You do not understand, why do You delude me?

That night I was alone. Nectar was flowing in the vast space. My mental space was getting
agitated. The restless breeze was full of sweetness and called to listen to His divine
glory. From one to many and many to one is the cosmos. Nothing ever is lost anywhere.
Everything drifts eternally in the endless flow of the infinite. His trumpet resounds for
unknown attraction. He does not ignore anyone.

On the moonlit night, with sandal breeze, with song of ocean of beauty, one blue lilly
bloomed. With rare upsurge, each moment, with rhythm of dance, You smiled. There was no
obstruction of any type inside or outside, The annihilating gesture of dogma You burnt
like husk fire. Those who could not bear the pleasure of others, plucked the petals of the
pollen of love, tore the stem of the lotus nucleus, they went away with memory.

This wish of mine, whom should I explain, tell me. The One Who knows all, recognises all
I am searching Him. When the sun rises in the morning, I tell him all mine. He told that
on attaining One, all forget their own self. The sun set in the evening, and let me know
the time of leaving. O Friend those days of mine are gone, whom You found wholeheartedly.

O Friend come to my home. Float into the firmament of my mind, removing all darkness. My

Who calls me from the blue sky each moment? Flowing sandal paste of moonlight on my cheeks
profusely, glimpses after glimpses. The milky way goes on flowing from far to further, and
the nebula looks at that with astonishment. With unknown flute melody, providing fragrance
like nectar, who goes on oscillating me? Draw the line of love on my mental plate, so that
the unknown becomes known and making my sa’dhana’ fruitful with joy each moment.

O Lord, during sleep, dream or awaken state of the night, I go on searching You. Where do
You dwell in land, water, or space, tell me. In solid earth and water, I uselessly
wandered. With dismay and despair, I simply went on crying. In vain I moved through sky
and air, and could not find the Gopa’l of my mind. O the Merciful, what an illusive game
of Yours is this, within moments, total annihilation and dissolution occurs. The existing
one is lost and nonexisting happens. With astonishment I look towards the universe.

pollen is stupefied. The shefalii flower is dropped with load of pain, moisten that with
Your dews. Over the kunda flower of autumn, the pollen of hope does not swing any more.
The skylamp does not glow smilingly, You kindle that with the upsurge of effulgence.

The flowers had bloomed that morning, the moon was decorated in the evening. The day has
passed in disappointment in isolation. Would my night pass in crying? The nightingale went
on calling whole day, opening the doors of heaven. But in my garden the bud did not bloom
due to ego from beginning till end. Within darkness, this hope was there in the mind, that
the night of disappointment would be passed by morning, by filling shells on the shore
with pearls, I would remove all agonies.

The camelii flower bloomed, the moon arose, consciousness in the firmament of the mind
pervades forever. The mental bird was in the unknown arena, into that earnestness for
returning to home came. Crossing the greatness and longitude of the One, it goes on
gliding into infinity with what nectar. The love and affection, leaving the boundary has
brought unison with single feeling. O friend, why are You detached, the ocean of nectar
calls from the front. O the microcosm, come and merge in infinity, see in One, the unity
of many.

tussle of duality indicated in me, as immeasurable speed, You are nectar in own nature.
All the obstructions present between You and me, they are held by my own ego. You remove
the entire ego surrounding me, so that dark fog is lost into dawn.

all my desires and wishes, and in Your ideation I forget myself. I understand the

time, and remain uninfluenced by sorrows and actions. Untouched by the receptacle of
reactions, beyond space and feelings.

in pilgrim places and oceans, in mental ponds and golden temples, I continued calling You
do not You know that? The doors of the temple closed, the floral fragrance was lost in the

understand my pain? In the groves of sha’l, piya’l, mahul, palash, shimul, I am unable
to find You. O Lord, I searched You in the morning sunlight, even in the heaven and the
three lokas, nowhere could I get You. Even after opening the eyes in the evening
moonlight, I could not listen to Your sweet ankle bell melody. I am Your honey, You are my
companion. In this ephemeral world, You alone are eternal. This fact I shall never

located within Him. To attain Him I am struggling with hundreds of pains.

enveloped my existence by the grand beauty and unique attributes. I do not want such night

This autumn evening came today. The shefa’lii flower bloomed, the moonlight smiled. In
the garden, new oscillations have started. In the clear sky, there are a few white clouds
in the full river there is no force of flood, the green grass smiles with overflowing
restlessness, the shivering of winter has started. Full of flowering tall grasses, the
earth is a congregation of beauty. In soft breeze, a’ta’ and va’ta’vii floral
essence is present. All have forgotten the worldly load of sorrows, frenzied with the
spirit of festivity.

On that moonlit night, there was congregation of swans. Where they went gliding, what
happened to them? The white clouds like boats were there as unrecognised guest. There was
encircling round of cakor bird as they got the moon in front. Sitting under that
environment, I was threading garland of juhii flowers. Whose nectar like sound from the
flute they heard to come gliding? That ankle bell melody vibrated shivering my veins and
arteries. I was lost into the blue sky opening the doors of my mind.

O Lord, You came into dream, smiled in life, but why did not You come in the folds of my
eyes? You float into the mind, remove the darkness, but do You want me to keep me away
from Your feet? O unblemished, beautiful, merciful, each moment You swing the world, With
Your hope, and address, You make the atoms and molecules dance. O the destroyer of the
worldly distress, charmer of mind, ointment for eyes of knowledge, without blemish
creator of shes’adri mountain, destroyer of the enemy of sins, why do You see with smile
deluding?

On this crimson morning, with the flow of mercy, who is singing the song of life? Who has
brought the message of liberation, what does the benevolent One want? He does not ignore
the life, can calls two times with auspicious intellect. The world decorates the tray of
colourful offering for His feet. That Lord is unseen by sense organs, does not deviate by
praise or slander. Though The Singular Entity without a second, He makes all dance from
Cosmos to a blade of grass.

O Lord, from beyond the darkness, and shore beyond the language, Who is that You floating
into my mind? Neither full moon sun, star, planet, nor the diamondstudded thread. Unseen
without blemish, charmer of all minds, immeasurable, with nectar feeling, destroyer of
darkness, removing the night, You have brought morning. Dearest of all, innermost of all
shining in unique way, the ultimate, supreme, having the one base for soft and hard.

At the time when it rained and night was intense, You had come with silent feet. I had not
decorated the altar, did not adore, still with smiling eye You looked. My heart was high
with the unlimited wealth of truth and reality. I had forgotten the distinction between
You and me, You removed the separating line. Towards the end of the night, I observed that
You are spread into all the three worlds, O Lord. Whatever was mine, taking as own, You
smiled at that standing with smile.

You were in unrecognised adornment, and went away into unknown arena, the acquaintance was
only in the middle. You gave fragrance in flower and took away that fragrance, in the
decorated garden, what a delusion of Yours? You perform the illusive game liila’
unblinkingly, in isolation, in different worlds. All are ball of Your play in the three
world, in the visible arena. You have given all with limit, though remain Yourself
endless. For that infinite is all sa’dhana’, the spiritual endeavour. The wealth
success, wealth whatever is there, the empty traveler moves on the path behind You. All
have only One goal, that One covers all. In the infinity, You go on arrival and
departures.

footsteps of Yours in deep contemplation. My encircling the land of Vraja, does not heed

O Lord, during pain and pleasure, with unblinking eyes, I remain awake for You. O Lord
You listen at least once, the single heart is calling You. Why You have kept me forgotten
leaving me away, at my call You remained deaf, due to what consideration, I do not
understand. You have been companion for movement on the path, remaining equally pained
with my pain. Remembering love, I had remained engrossed for many days and many nights.
With the hope of illumination at the end of the night, I go on counting moments. I know
that the darkness is not truth hence I go on churning darkness.

passed. In the new dawn, morning sun smiles. The mental peacock dances with raised tail

On this morning, bathed in effulgence, I thought in isolation that I was there and You
were there, O Lord. Filling Yourself in the depth of feelings of gentle minds, philosophy
and science, You have forgotten me. You are the essence of essence of the world. By Your
mercy, I am also not without essence, I have also taken a bit of Your load, to the extent
You have granted me energy. Today I see darkness on all sides, I do not find confidence in
myself. For the whole of Great Universe, You are the only hope, You are there, only You
are there.

O Lord, You have come when it is full of clouds. The lilly blooms, ketakii smiles, and You
have filled vitality in the ca’tak bird. In the northeastern corner, from great
distance, the clouds came mistaking the path. Into the niip bushes, groups and groups of
bees collect on the leaves. Do not stay out any more, come to my home and remain wet with
the flow of love. On that bamboo grove, bees buzz and peacocks stay on the branches of
tama’l trees. Engrossed in the mental arbor bodily, about whom the butterfly thinks?
Today You listen to my story, the pain of the rains, if You float the boat of
consolation.

How many days have passed in darkness, how many flowers withered with dishonor. How many
streams dried up in desert, how many trees uprooted due to annihilating storm. In garden
of paradise, sandal was also there in one corner of heaven at a side. With smile and joy
in the mind of controller of all, spreading fragrance with resonance. Burning each pore
with rumbling thunder, You merged that in charcoal. On this earth, whoever comes, comes
for going only, for scattering fragrance for a few days. Those who stay, flow tears, if
they consider their own.

When I thought of You, moon was there in the sky. The mind was engrossed in the essence of
thought, does not heed to the bondage of praise and slander. The sandal breeze came into
home, and whispered in ears, “ Do not consider this loving tide as extinction. He who
smiles in Your mind, fearing Him jump over the death. The pollens of ketakii and keshar
float with fragrance. They move upward crossing over the desires and achievements
uttering in the manda’kra’nta’ rhythm, The moon that has filled your mind, that only
would fulfill Your will for the infinity.

O Dear, You came during intense rains, rain full of confidence. The lightning of clouds
shines in bunches, by thunder what the lightning wants? Dark clouds cover that distant
blue sky two times. With cyclonic storms, what a game the wind plays with palm trees. With
deep joy, expecting what the niip flower is frenzied outside and inside? The toads are
intoxicated and restless with rains. The peacock goes on dancing with raised tails. Along
with kadamba, with resonance of rain water, what language the juhi flower speaks?

There was darkness in the sky, rain was heavy, and He came and stood outside my home. What
was He thinking in the mind on that isolated night? I was egoistic and did not open the
doors of the house. He silently went away behind the juhii lane. After that, on opening
the door, I heard that the traveler could not be found again. He went crying due to Your
severe blunder. That Dear, essence of essence, is lost due to negligence. O you listen
leave the pride and cast off ego, see that You are not alone, that Evercompanion is the
garland of kaustubha diamond gems.

O Lord, I adore You only, know that You are close, You are my Deity. Knowingly or
unknowingly, I am with You, O EverController of destiny. You exist from Cosmos to a blade
of grass as such I am also within Your particle. You surround me day and night, yet, I
seek You to tell my agony. You overwhelm the pollen of flowers, and I am an atom of the
particle of flower. Fill my mental arena with consciousness, O the sweetness beyond world.

O Lord, I love You, and remember You in all my actions. I search You in dream, eyes and
mind secretly, leaving all my fear and shyness. From initial point of my life, O The
Ocean, I move to merge in You. Like a river in flow with sorrow and pleasure, I am
surviving with Your ideation. You are there Dear, hence I exist. By Your mercy, I move
towards infinity. O the Unknown Traveler, I seek You only, though love and affection, song
and dances.

O Dear, why are You hidden? Taking away my mind, where did You go, tell me. If You wish
put on that garland around the neck or stamp that mind by Your feet. All around is the
play of colours, a festivity of minds with diverse colours. Within that is Your game
liila’. You pull someone close and push someone away. Your liila’ is without beginning
and without end. You move endlessly in form of crest and trough. With what bliss You go on
dancing, that cannot be explained by philosophy and science.

O Lord, the flowers bloom, show colours, and on wreath, bees swing. If You do not come
what for You have created this garden? The maker of the garland, goes on threading the
garland, what the honeybee is buzzing? With upsurge of shyness, what the cuckoo calls in
groups? During spring, the sweet sandal breeze whispers into the ears of buds. The tender
leaves dance with joy, filling the casket of the mind.

O Lord, I am awake for You. You do not think about me, have forgotten me. I am a speck of
dust within bambooflute. I am mixed with the dust of Vraja on the ground. I have heard
that nothing is unseen by You, in this world, moving or stationary. Everything is located
within Your mind, hence how are You able to forget me? The eight thronged mountains, seven
oceans, hills, surrounded by latitude and longitude. For near ones You are far, for far
ones You are near You create transitory plays in the base of consciousness.

The moon smiled, the tides rose.
The river water swelled overflowing the banks. The moon and ocean knew each other well.
Both call each other by hand signal since they want to pull each other. This divine sport
is going on since time immemorial. The sea wonders, why it is pulling the moon. The moon
too is ignorant of the answer to this question. The One whom we love, The one whose order
we follow, he only has provided this attraction or love.

O Lord, how Your hiding like this would go, come close to me, closer. Oscillating the
mind, why do You go away far, do not You accept that You are the basis of the mind? The
honeybee that stirs the mind of flower, telling, “Do not think of my presence”, the
the flow of stream oscillates the pebbles, like that You are the viin’a’ and I am the
string. The sunrays falling on the sand bed, it produces heat within that. The one who
loves You physically, mentally and spiritually, about him You think about him at least
once.

O Lord, You have remained with me life after life, You know me well but I could not
recognise You. I have been with pain and pleasures, eras after eras, You do not consider
pain and I know only pleasure. On the branches of maul tree, on the cheeks of campa’ and
marigold, over pala’sh and shimul, You dance. Day and night, morning and evening, You
make one cry and smile. I shall never forget You, love You, I accept You as my Deity. In
spring season, You come decorating the chignon of hair with flowers, matching the colours.
With bangles in hands, and garland on head, swinging earrings in ears, You snatched the
mind. I shall remain with You, go to Your abode, that is why I attract Your mind.

You. O Dear, You go on dancing in the ocean of nectar, with sweet ankle bell at the shore
beyond the language. You go on tying all with the knot of love, O, Mohan, the Charmer, You
have no comparison. You are Gopa’l of Vraja and Friend of Arjuna, belonging to all, yet
only mine. With the resonance of flute, in the garden of kadamba, You go on providing

morning and noon, I pass time. My life of sorrows, my dream of sorrows, You did not like.
You are the moon, I am barrier of dry land. Yet, holding You in bosom, I get pleasure. My
story of joy and pleasure You did not hear.

O Lord, I am a path lost swan. Having lost the direction, I am flying in the space
without any companion, I am alone. From unknown beginning less ness, I have been with You.
Forgetting reality, by impulse of ego, hence today I am unable to see You. Yet in the
mind, there is hope, and a bit of love, Floating in my atmosphere, the language of Your
attainment is there, written with the memory of love.

illusive game, liila’ is Yours, with light and darkness, You go on playing. You do not
heed to any specific time. How is the flow, O the Great person? You are in fire, air, and
the blue sky. Yet why did not You come into my folds? O the pole star of the night, even
without seeking You continued giving all.

I am picking flowers, thread the garland, but I do never see You, O Lord. I rehearse the
melody, sing the song for You to listen, O Lord. In the crimson light I search You with
palmfull offering of flowers, pollens and fragrance. Near and far, in earth or heaven, I
do not find You anywhere, yet I go on searching. My floral garland is dried up today, the
song dissolved in the great sky. The love mixed up in the dust, coming close, make me
forget about that, O Lord.

feeling. O the Great, come into the small mind. You are my is’t’a, object, You are my

filled the world with Your mercy. You came when the clouds floated in the sky bearing
rain, along with pollen of niip and resonance of palm trees. The peacock dances in the
ketakii groves with smiling green decoration. The beauty that I wanted in the spring
carrying more beauty than that, You came into the mind. The Gopa’l of Vraja is
established like a King in the mental lotus, with what an illusive game, liila’.

O Lord Krsna
Ghana Shya’m
please come to my sweet floral garden.

I have kept it decorated with flowers and leaves.
Like the cakor bird waiting for the moonlight
so do the dearest of the devotees, the gopiis
await You.

The ma’dhavii flower creeper
is anxious and restless to satiate its beloved.

There is an intense desire to please the beloved
to make Him happy, expecting a glimpse of total surrender.
The flower offering in my palm

is beset with sweetness, sandal and incense.
My mental garland of vaejayanti flowers is studded with a shining Kaostubha diamond of
Your choice.

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

O Lord
with flowers and garlands
have I decorated the place kept for You only.
Please come!

It is intoxicated with Your bliss.
In the same way that the cakor bird awaits rain only
and the canderi bird sees only the moon
Your gopi awaits You
with an anxious and intense desire.

The madhavi flower blooms so fully.
You can only see flowers
not a single leaf or stem.
In the same way, I too have opened myself up.

We are waiting with feelings of madness for You.
As the raganuga music incites
feelings of the pain of separation
we too are feeling pain
unable to bear separation from You.

Here, in the place I have kept for You only
there are bunches of flowers
intoxicated with the fragrance of honey.
There is sandalwood and a'goru fragrance.
From the innermost diamond of our hearts
we have made garlands for You.

AS remover of pain, He came to the world, and rushes removing the agonies. The river
Bha’giirathii cries sobbing, along with the sorrows of Shacii, the raindeity’s wife.
The restless heart of the spouse of Lord Vishn’u is stupefied with agony. Kant’akpur
is quite far, in bare foot there is no ankle bell. With the dust of Navadviip, the Ajay
river is overflowing.

You come into my folds, I do not understand. O Formless, beyond form, I have kindled

Your flute charms the world and speaks into my core of mind that I am not alone. In the
spring season, the cuckoo and peacock tell that it is not possible to forget You.

the door, My coming and going was just coming down on the path. There were dark clouds on
the sky and wind was with intense speed. In the mind was restlessness of curiosity. O
Lord, with mercy, bring impulse in my consciousness and speed and acceleration in my

feet. O the base of all, remove my load of misery, by pulling close this liberation

sky was dark without moon and stars, You alone were awake. By knock at the door, You broke
the silence, I told at that time, how is the liila’ of the embodiment of liila’.
Without telling without alerting, why did He awaken me like this? Within and beyond time
by power of austerity, whatever is impossible, that You did.

flowers. You fulfilled the heart with song. Then the sky was without clouds. There was no
fall of lightning or thunder roar. There was no vibration in air due to hails. Breath was
full of exhalation. The fragrance of shefa’lii was full in the ma’latii garland. When
did You go to which unknown, leaving Your footmark on the lane of bakul? Under what pull
the restless mind is rushing?

the mind, fulfilling the heart, with love. With the rhythm of Your liila’, the face of
ocean and sky dance. The nebula and stars go on oscillating with evernew colour and form.

O Lord, when You came to my garden, then spring had already gone. The dry flower cries in
dream, only thorns remain. The petals whither, the colours are lost, the fragrance is lost
in past. The essence of honey seeking bliss, accepts hollowness. Gopa’l of my mind did
not come in time, as the icon of sweetness, in the spring. With the sound of flute, in the
arborhome, in the charming adornment for the devotees, gopiis.

cover that with dull colour? He who never comes, why does He come, why the dull dewdrop

One Unknown Traveler, came, today and removed all my bondages. With sweet touch, He filled
my mind, leaving Him, how can I live. The demons of darkness have hidden far. With soft
breeze, the flowers emanate fragrance. In the morning the sun pours beauty, light and
qualities, filling nectar in the world. O brothers, on this date, no one stay far. Look
smiling feelings are filled in all the directions. Bring that Traveler within your mind in
isolation, scattering more light in that direction.

O My Dear, with threaded floral garland, I am awake only for You. You are soft and hard, I
am cakor bird of the moonlight, going on circling around You. The door is open, decorated
with mango leaves and branches. I have filled and decorated the auspicious welcome water
pitcher with my sweetness and garland. You are mine and I am too Yours, this sweetness I
smeared in the mind. The day passes like wing of swan, not willing to return by asking, in
this transitory, nonessence, I have understood You as the essence. Come to my home in the
style of love, I have kept ready mental garland.

O Lord, why do You remain away? Keeping me in dark, You go on performing illusive game
liila’. You are in a far country, sitting at a high place. The nymphs and devotees are
close to You. Remove the obstacles, I have kept the melody perfected, why do You remain
without listening to that? The obstruction between You and me is not artificial. Your
coming close and sitting smilingly is it not unlimited. By staying away is Your mistake
is that Your mistake, tell me.

O Lord, You come and sit close, pouring honey of the casket, smearing the fragrance of all
the flowers available in my garden. You are the beginning and end, infinite in form and
attributes. Even within the series of waves, You are tranquil, smile with sarcastic look
during annihilation. The scarcity is my mind only, You are the synthesis, O Lord. That is
why I want You in meditation, forgetting the smallness of this meager.

the kim’shuk branch, inclined upwards towards whom like the red glow of fire? In my
mental arena are smiling shimul and loving pa’rul flowers today.

O Lord, with crimson morning, radiating illumination, Who is that You, who came and did
not provide Your acquaintance. I was in deep slumber, You woke me up with knock at the
door. Without telling anything, You made my life victorious. I could not understand, how
did You come. Thinking what You opened the door bolts of my mind? Did not stand even for a
moment, did not ask who am I? You came into the depth of the mind, forgetting the
particular time. The meanness that had surrounded me, the ego that had bound me with name
and form, that bondage You opened, and pulled me closer. You told me to exchange the
microscopic thinking with Cosmic ideation.

You are the mighty leader of all

You are the God of all gods.

He is the very life and soul of the devotees.
I salute that Lord Krsna.

He is omnipresent...
He resides in water, on land
in the upper world and in the psychic world.
He is the Lord of all Lords.
He is the very Nara'yan'a
for all naras or human beings.

He is in Mathura, He is in Goloka
and He is also in the three worlds.
He remains in the empirical
and metaempirical worlds.

O Lord, I had forgotten You, but You did not forget me. I had kept the doors closed and
did not open with hundreds of knocks. You came in the morning light and searched the path
with sandal breeze. You had poured restlessness but yet I never called You wholeheartedly.
You opened the door bolts and entered inside, Standing in the front, You smiled. You told
“ I have come this time”, This time I did not make the mistake in recognizing.

You are the soul within my heart.
Amongst all sounds
You are the original and fundamental sound.
You are the star in the sky.

From birth to death
You are the sole entity.
You reside in both heaven and hell.
Though a singular entity
You stir all.

The entire world is Your physical and mental expression.

We are not the slaves of anybody
we salute You only.
We accept only one principle
the appreciation of divine love.

always. The flute plays day and night, in land, water and sky. O the embodiment of

You are the owner of all treasures, this the whole world knows. Covered with ashes, yet
having dress of tiger skin. Established in unification, wise and sun for dispelling the
darkness. The friend and foe get Your mercy equally. You do not distinguish between, human
beings, animals and plants. You are the sa’dhana’, adaptable by all. You are supreme
witness of all, product of all.

into the folds of language, the mind becomes tired searching You. Even the stream gets
dissolved into the ocean. You are with Cosmic Body, yet like sun in the microcosm. You are
beyond speech, mind and sense organs, beyond logic and reasoning, yet the mental casket
glows by You. Even amidst, the feeling, You are beyond thought, You only shortage of ego.

flute sound the body faints. The atoms and molecules generate in feelings, the particles
show colours. It does not heed to any ban, there is no limitation for it. With various
colours, it shows inviting gesture. His methods and procedures are unknown to all, yet He
rains the pollen of love.

O Dear, from which unknown arena, with the illumination of moonlight, bringing illusive
ma’ya’, You came? With smile on the lips, and bamboo flute, and charming glow of
tanuka’? You came. You are the Heavenly Purus’a in beauty and quality, icon of
sweetness and spotless. In vigor, virility, You have no harshness, insuppressible by
mental markings. Where You do not exist, I cannot understand, but I always understand Your
mercy. You are merged individually and collectively in the microcosmic will, charming as
the golden peacock.

The light came, flowers bloomed, at the end of dark night, the sun smiled in the eastern
sky. The frightening night went far, the demon’s dance is lost. The exploiters hid
behind. The mental sweetness got language. Nobody waits for anyone. When time comes, all
go away. The pain, fear and panic would not stay for long, all have understood that.

O Dear Lord, You came to my dark home and kindled light. You understood the pain, and
spoke, You are sweetest of the sweet. How many eras I have been wanting You full of hopes.
The lamp was getting extinguished again and again leaving intense darkness. Your touch was
fragrant, and the nerves were blissful with quivers. You go on crossing several days
dates and years. Irrespective of one’s liking or deserving, You go on pouring the pollen
of love upon all.

You hide Your face? In the grove of piya’l and pala’sh, in this colourful spring
dancing in all minds, You smear sweet fragrance.

hear Your flute, with my ears. Along with the ankle bell sound of Yours, I have merged in
the dust of Vraja.

O Lord, You had told that You would come this time, but why did not You come? Again and

passes, evening comes, The sun goes on setting, the stars smile. The smile and cries go on
merging totally, and the will remains disappointed. In the horizon, ray of light appears
I understood that sun would rise this time. With effort for honey, the bees arrive, why
did not You break my slumber?

valor of strength, pride of capability, insect of book, heat of intellect, glimpses of

not admit any worry, and the colour of spring brings joy. Knowing the shimul tree to be
complete, the rasa’l calls it.

without expressing the protest, remembering them also, You took up arm like Ga’nd’iiva
bow and conveyed to them the song of life. Your victory drum sounds again and again and

multiplicities are fro You alone. We all seek Your grace all the time.

contemplating in the nights. Along with the honey in the floral nucleus, the mind
continued calling, even without knowing You. The penance of the night was successful, I
understood that after so many days, the real morning came. In the eastern sky, colour
appeared, flowers bloomed, there was exchange of minds between microcosm and Macrocosm.

trees. All obstacles broke, the cries and smile is not without shyness. The melody
rehearsed above the pain and pleasure, I listen through my ears the immortal song. You are
there and I am there, rest of the world I have forgotten. Leaving the form, I have come to
formless, to find the One beyond form in the mind.

In the crimson colour of the eastern sky,
He smiles golden hues.
With much affection,
He conveys to all ears the message of life.

He comes and goes era after era.
The world named Him "Tarakabrahma",
touching time and space with His own Self,
but not entangled within time and space.

O Lord, by Your qualities, attributes, the world is illuminated. By Your beauty the world
is full. You kindle the lamp of sun and moon, and do not make one lose the path. At the
end of the night, the sun smiles, intoxicating the mind in the evening sky. On the
departure in the evening, innumerable stars start shining. Amongst them, best of all, You
are the polestar. You dwell in the unseen world, beyond and above the pain and pleasure. I

With intoxicating impulse of feelings, into which unknown arena, my mind goes on floating?
What a collection of smiling golden light with morning rays, You have brought? The affairs
of that day are present in the mind even today. Hundreds of memories of pains and
pleasures does not get wiped. Amidst the high ocean of agonies, those unlimited memories
are still awakened. No body else knows that feeling. The appearance of cosmic amidst
microcosm. That essence of essence, a love with total surrender, inspired by the will for
the great.

Sitting alone, with crimson colour, I have been threading the garland of songs. There was
no one close by, the mind was under Your vicinity. Bathing in the dew water, wearing white
pure dress, remembering You, I had been roaming towards the forest, forgetting the
laziness and drowsiness. Crossing hundreds of obstructions of the movement path, with web
of light and dark, rehearsing the melody, and forgetting all bondages of shyness.

There was no moon in the sky, the night was dark. Sorrow has covered the mind, no one
thinks of me. The evening star told, “Do not get lost in darkness. Whole night is there
in the hand, do not flow tears”. In the night sky at its end, I saw that venus star was
smiling, that told, coming in the canvas of mind, “ Your morning is brilliant”.

Who has given call to me, I was speechless, should I respond? In the dark night sky, there
was no gap, the clouds have covered the stars. It has no consideration for a particular
time. Do not listen to any prohibition. What style of beauty and what introduction, why
did You give a jerk to the mind. O the Unknown brother, come close, if You love me a bit.
Know me as distant beloved, how is this flow of Your love?

With drowsiness smeared over the eyes, bringing dream, who is that Who came? Along with
touch of soft breeze, You made forget all feelings. There was none with me, only darkness
of intense night was there. There was unlimited ocean of ocean of sorrows, You came only
by causeless mercy. Today I understood that You do not forget, and do not have distinction
of small and big. You are together with some purpose, and You removed entire delusions.

in stormy night. In the morning, I saw, O ever companion, that You smiled. You steered my

O Lord, I loved You without knowing You, but when I knew I found You much away. I hold You
in dreams and meditations, but on return to awakening state, find You beyond the reach.
You have poured abundant overflowing gift of grace. But my small palms cannot estimate the
quantity. Even today, there is no end of that gift by wastage and it pours down. This
world is consisting of only You and me. I am never without You. But if You forget me then
You will lose Your attributes.

Raising vibrations of quiver in my blood You came but why did You forget? Sitting in the
balcony, day and night on numerous days, I threaded heaps of floral garlands, but did not
see that charming smile any more that was smeared on the lips. The spring period passed
and summer came, The bakul flowers dried up. The balcony was covered with waves of webs
still You went further.

close, why, I do not understand. Even if knowing I am unable to recognise You, even on
finding close, I do not see You. Even on trying to forget, it is not possible to forget.
This bondage does not break. How many days have passed, how many nights passed. How many
lamps got extinguished. None has kept any account of that.

The moon that is there in the sky, that is not of today. Wherever and what places it is
it would scatter the illumination. It brings joy in the niip grove, glimpses of beauty in
Vrndavan, shine of gold within ashes and lotus flower amidst desert. Those would remain in
joy, if they are, if sorrows come, it turns. Those whose bosom is filled with His
ideation, He would remove the agonies and blow the flute.

the dreams get lost in distant sky. Broken hopes speak with long breath, why have not You
forgotten them? The Venus star of the morning smiles and tells, “ This time morning

Today the gallinule calls on this rainy night. A traveler goes all alone. His only job is
to move on the path. He has no fear, no shyness, no companion, no poverty. Keeping all the
worldly bondages of the world behind, He moves forward into the infinite life. The
infatuations call him with hundreds voices, yet he does not respond, does not listen to
any earnestness. There is no end, no end to his movement path. The measurement of time and
distance, cannot find him. The ultimate desideratum of his movement, goes on calling him.
The nebula and stars of the sky greet him with gesture of glow.

I break the obstacles, move on the path, O Dear, for You. But You did not look to me. By
listening, meditating and contemplating around You, I dance as per Your ankle bell tune.
Just for one vision of Yours, each moment I am awake, for Your sweet face, sweet words
and sweet smeared song. Swinging with the illumination of colourful morning, the mind goes
on rushing towards the infinity. That infinite, O the Tranquil, is soft with Your

O The lad of Vraja, how can I forget You? The twine of love in my mental garland, with
what heart I pull to break? During births after births, in dream the welcome decoration
that I have made, in mental arena the tune that I have rehearsed with octave, does not
stop even for a moment, on the path that I create, can I ever forget that even by mistake?
Even moving eons after eons, that love I do not forget, I raise the decorated eyes, lift
my head for smearing decoration, With earnestness and consciousness, I go on marking in
seclusion. The ideation of that thought is unparallel.

O My Dear, You come at the colourful morning. Let the penance of the night, during long
darkness, be over with the coming of morning. Let the noise of the owls, the laughter of
demons, be totally finished with arrival of soft smile of the morning, engrossing me with
ideation. You are Singular without a second, You are the Great Sun. In sky and air, Your
trumpet goes on sounding. Within You all cause and effect is lost. By remembering all the
intense infatuation is removed.

O Lord, You love all and do not expect anything in exchange. The moon scatters light and
gets satisfaction in dissolving. The seedlings of grass want to appear, but get destroyed
by heat of the sun. On getting the sweetness from the moonlight, it shows greenness. I am
a meager dirty grass, You are the great cosmic lotus. Even though microcosmic, I am moved
by feelings, on finding Your touch, O the Great, Virat’a.

O Lord
the earth and sky belong to You.
In fact, the whole world belongs to You only.

I am Your follower
You are my beloved Lord.

The radiation poured forth by the morning sun
the fragrance spread by the flowers in the garden
the entity entering into the heart
in all that, Your starlike effulgence glitters.

You are present in both pleasure and pain.
You sit on the throne of the Soul.
All I can do for You, is to shed tears of love.

smear the glow of the morning. The caetra month passed, baesha’kha month came, the
tender leaves smile on branches and subbranches. In the depth of mind, at the level of
consciousness, express salutation to the unknown traveler. The citra’ star went, the
full moon of visha’kha’ period swung. The old went, smile came, with prolonged bliss
fill the heart.

came and passed, many dark nights came, Time and periods passed, and morning again smiled.
This time You spoke out.

O Lord, I love You, though I do not know the qualities and defects. O Untouched, You do
not come into any receptacle. In my campak garden, You are the fragrance, O Dear. Like a
creeper attached to a tree, take me into Your shelter. Fill me with ideation, as I do not
admit any scarcity. In the depth of mind, in seclusion of thought, with straightness of
mind stuff, with charm of meditation, with purity of concentration, O the Formless, You
came.

O Lord, You came crossing the darkness, and brought me into light. What I was, what I did
not give, all that You did not consider. You lifted up and took into Your lap, the one
totally smeared with dust. Saying, “ I am there”, You wiped the tears. Whatever is
good on the earth, that You taught and removed the darkness. Scattering the illumination
of love, You told me to leave inertia.

O Lord, crossing the dark fog You came on this bright colourful morning. You removed the
mirage of infatuation with firm foot, and taught to move on the proper path. My mind was
bound by mean thoughts and had forgotten You. Amidst my longings and aspirations, there
were all kinds of confusions and misconceptions. You removed all those psychic dilemmas
and bestowed upon me a whole new way of thinking, an entirely new vision. With the wealth
of samvit (spiritual awakening) which You have graciously bestowed upon me, I have come to
realise that I want only You. Baba, in my dhyana, sadhana, japa, kiirtan, You are my Goal.
I only go on looking towards You. O' my most Beloved, please grant me Your varabhaya
blessing.

Invite Him home!
He has spread the effulgence of light.
Let us bathe our hearts in it.

He has been moving ahead
since time immemorial
era after era
on an endless path
towards the infinite desideratum
overcoming stroms and obstacles.

He is ever graceful and compassionate
let us bow our head unto Him.

He comes for you and me
to love all in all countries.
He weeps at others' pains and sorrows
and smiles at others' happiness.

O Lord, when You had come to my home, I was in deep sleep. You came secretly with Your
silent footsteps, and You only looked at me with a sweet smile on Your lips. Baba, due to
all my mental bondages such as fear and shyness, I did not dare to look towards You with
full longing nor with a onepointed devotional heart. The river rushes with full force
through rocky path towards the ocean. In the same way, after I heard Your call, by Your
divine grace, then I also came out.

Your great form charms the world.
Your attributes are unfathomable.

O unknown traveler
You are foremost on the path of movement.
Remembering You, I keep moving ahead

I feel shy in speaking to You.
I continue doing Your work.
I decorate myself in thousands of ways
without even understanding why.

My incense pot is extinguished, but the fragrance of that still remains today. The effect
of songs is broken off but its aftereffect trace still goes on floating. O The distant
brother, listen to me, why have You kept me further away? Accept my only request and tell
me what more illusive game remains? By providing much heavy blow, pulverize my ego. By
removing far the pride, with form and colour, Your illusive game comes.

O Lord, when shall You come to my home, for that I go on counting moments, days and time.
Ignoring all prohibitions, I have kept the door bolts open. I had many expectations in the
heart, the suppressed language in the recess of the mind. Secretly even bad expectations
unrealizable longings, were present. That I had sketched this spring. That You would
communicate with me, stay in the Vrnda’van of love, I shall forget the worldly throne
for that I remain awake.

The consciousness came closer. The rising sun smiles showing welcome. The fog passed
flowers bloomed, there is no other obstruction, the joy and pleasure are produced. The
agonies of eras are removed, with unhindered joy, the bees are frenzied. The likings and
love merge in one, there is no more counting of moments, the traveler calls so. The
fragrance of bela’, juhii and bakul floats. The caskets of human beings have been
filled. The annihilating mirage is defeated. Opening the balcony, listen, the humanity is
singing songs.

may be obstructing hundreds of time, or violent lightning come down. Keeping Your name in

You made me forget eating and dressing. During midday, You brought darkness. I was bound
by hundreds of floral twines, but You poured honey in only one flower of mine. In the hue
of that flower, You have shown Your form. Today without telling, without enquiring, where
did You hide?

arises in the mind of ca’taka bird, and it looks towards the sky with new exhalation.
Today evening I have nothing to do, Neither fear, no shyness or terror, in the mental
series. Producing waves of bliss, the ideation remained in each particle. O Ever
companion, where are You, O the unknown traveler, it is hard to know your ways. Your
immeasurable powers and wealth, swings my consciousness.

understand what it wanted, who wants that? Whose illusive game is this world? In that mind
You produced sky full of fruits and flowers. Provided consciousness and opened the unknown
gate of consciousness. Into the sweetness of the mind, You filled unlimited experience of
sweet item, madhuparka.

O Lord, You came and removed darkness from the depth of my mind. There was no altar or
welcome decoration, neither was any floral garden. All the essential articles of world
are scattered around Your feet. Into he home of treasury of gems, what garland of pearls
and gems can I offer? In my heart there is intense burning that how can I offer You the
threaded garland, to the One, whose remembrance provides series of smiling sandal hills.

O The Unknown Engel, into the land of sleep, smiling sweetly, who is that You, Who came?
With Your gesture, pearls flow, looking at that my eyes are satiated. You snatched my
mind, without telling anything. Even after calling, during pleasure, You do not come, and
without calling, I find You in sorrows. To the silent worn face, and heart broken with
disappointments, You spoke the language of love. You pour overwhelmingly, Your mental
casket. You do not consider who is dumb, who is dull, or good. Who is dense dark or who is
shining like moonlight, for all You came down to the earth.

O Lord, in the external world You do not come into folds, You just whisper this fact into
each ear. You are own for all, dream of everyone, vibrating in each life. In the
standstill, tranquil, summer night, with Your own hand on my strings, You play viin’a’
in seclusion constantly with song after song. Your wealth and power though the
constellations, is marked in the space. You bring fire in the nebula, within
everliberated Cosmic mind.

O Lord, with the hope of attaining You, since how many ages, I am sitting. How much tears
have flown, yet You did not come till the end. Today in my courtyard, there is no flower
in the autumn, the incomparable bela’ and juhii plants have dried up due to hard
sunlight. Their faint image still lingers in my core. That old earnestness I am unable to
forget even after trying to do so. Yet I create a garden in new courtyard, knowing that I
shall get that gem. But I do not know how to how to please and satiate Him.

towards Whom, today with folded hands get Him back. Appropriate time has come in life
again, give up all lethargy. With the mantra of “ Get up, Awake” lift off the load of

calling, that the Dear smiles with delusion of liila’, the game. In the food, clothes

functioning hidden secretly in the moving and nonmoving as the base of consciousness.

ears of the whole world. You love all, and kindle light in darkness. Through the
concentration on the Great, You remove the darkness of the mind. O Vira’t’a, the
Great, Your glory is immeasurable, blissful matter, unchangeable history with pleasing
vibrations. You do not leave anything pending, do not keep anything covered. Smearing with
the nectar of love, You have dissolved Your own power.

O Shya’mra’y, today You played the flute. Into the sands of Yamuna’ river, in the
buds of kadamba, sweetness goes on flowing. Who are the devotees, gopika’s, come quickly
with pitchers in hands. On this spring morning, oscillate on the swing of life. With
threaded garland of guinja’, a red and black seed, along with red coloured powders, and
vermilion, You go on dancing with ankle bells in the feet. This opportunity does not come
again and again, like the peacock in home, the mind is full of impulse. Making One as
nucleus, several dance with sandal fragrance in air.

I was standing beside the path when You went riding a golden chariot. You looked towards
me with soft smile. When You called me close to Yourself, then with dilemma stuck lips, I
did not respond. No one was with me, only the carefully threaded garland of ma’lati
flowers. In that was collection of love, and there was no offering tray. Due to shyness
the garland could not be placed upon Your neck. This acquaintance of Yours and mine is
nondecaying for hundreds of births. It is not exchange of end and noend, rather ever
nondefeatable in the illumination of ideation.

O my most beloved one
You are present in both life and death.
The affection absorbed sweetness of Yours
smiles in memory and appears in meditation.

Your effulgent appearance from the heavenly abode
provides satisfaction to fervidity with a touch of sandal.

You are present within and outside the limit of time
as citishakti in mind and consciousness.

The distance between You and me is difficult to cross.

But by Your grace, this obstruction of distance vanishes.

Come into my core
O my inner most
and fulfil my contemplation.

O Lord, I do not know whether You are kind or harsh. Sometimes You smile sweetly and
sometimes You become frightening. With the intense darkness of dark night, killing noose
of the mirage, with hard blow of annihilating thunder, for destruction You spread the web
of dissolution. You come with light in the nice morning, over the soft buds of lotus. You
frenzy with sandal breeze and kindle the colourful torch.

O Lord, when had You come to my home, that no one knows. In my courtyard You bloomed
flowers, why, no one understands that. Though You remain hundreds of miles away, yet Your
colour is applied within the recess of my mind. Your charming flute, does any one else
listen? My days come and go away, night comes. With collection of all thinking and
feelings, my mind loves You. Your creation, sustenance and dissolution, appears in my mind
smilingly. That does anyone think?

O Lord, searching You, my day has passed, but You did not come. You did not come, did not
appear, the evening of my life has come. I search You in the chirping of birds in the
morning, in the colourful east direction. But You did not come. You did not come, did not
speak, the eastern horizon was also vacant. I searched You in the evening, in the
moonlight, through the gaps of dark clouds, but I did not see You. I did not see You, did
not get Your response, what is the use of Your hiding, tell me.

O Hari, without beginning and end, yet, I love only You. Forgetting Your powers and
wealth, I only seek Your mercy. When I was sleeping within the chamber of life, did not
come down to the earth shining, then You were vibrating with unblinking gaze on Yourself.
Why did I come, and where was I? What is the history of this introduction of mine? All
remained threaded within Your mind, that is why I move towards You each moment.

worshipping You, even after searching the whole world. If You love me, smile and cry with
my joy and sorrow, then I pray You that You destroy the agony of all. Without going away
stay close. If I make mistake while moving on the path, take me into Your lap like a
dropped flower. Keep Your red feet before me, in all my thoughts and actions.

O Lord, on that golden sunrise in morning, You were sitting below the bakul flower tree.
What magical charm was in the eyes? Everything of Yours is unprecedented experience, You
go on performing the illusive game, liila’ each moment in new way while moving. O the
difficult, insurmountable infinite ocean, in which sweetness of affection is smeared.
Trying to understand You is shear madness, knowledge of scripture and science is just
blabbering. When in the recess of the mind, earnestness arises, You appear and smile in
dust particles.

with me. O the Great Controller, in the layers of atom and molecule You remain.

At the shore of the ocean of life, it does not pause expressing.

O Lord, in the depth of my mind, You are ever awake. Without any consideration of time and
date and without a pause, whatever You want, You continue doing. The whole universe is a
ball for Your play. You are the immortal and nondecaying smiling kinshuk flower. Those
who are under influence of intense infatuation, You want to awaken them. In flow of
astonishing game, liila’, You are frenzied. Even if almost impossible, You are the
desired desideratum of all minds, thus all want to hold on to their life each moment. You
dance within the mirror of ma’ya’, the illusion, amidst mountains, ocean, homes, hills
and gardens.

in the ocean of darkness. There war none to speak, only constant silence was there. There
was no restlessness of microcosm to attain You wholeheartedly. Thinking of all that, I
forget myself. By what delusive charm, what were You thinking? For You, with intense
depth, how can I think? You were alone in the closed house, bolting the door.

dance in the atoms and particles. There is no law of destiny, no coming and going, You are

remembering You in all my actions. In this garden, there are flowers plants of campa’

The mind is not absorbed in that hence it seeks Your mercy. I know that the sun of hope
would come in the morning, along with the trumpet of glow with my beauty and fragrance.
Waiting for that, counting moments, I go on in isolation red with shyness.

That day, that Unknown traveler swung my mind. After that He went and forgot about me and

many stars vanished, how many memories lost. And He did not come this side. About Him
even today the juhii, bela’ and bakul speak. On the golden side of the dreamy temple. My
pain He forgot.

He was looking with unblinking eyes, without speaking. Yet the looks carried the message
“ Do you recognise me or not”. My acquaintance with Him is since time immemorial, but
when seeing suddenly, the mind became forgetful. Within Your mind is my coming and going

all others are located, like underground flow of water.

O Lord, If in the depth of Your mind, isolated from the world, You think about me, that
matter, You forget, neglect this small event. I am dust of the movement path, I am dropped
bud of campak flower, I swing on the mango branch as sweetness of the buds. I am a message
of the lost days, as scarf torn by time, yet Someone is pulling down my delusive
intoxication.

O Lord, You come with new meaning. The earth is crying in the dark night. There not even
trace of light. How many eras have gone, how many stars have vanished, there is no contact
of pain. Days pass, time passes, the animality goes on increasing, there is no trace of
humanity. There is too much crookedness, defilement and deceit, no iota of saintliness is
left.

O Lord, You are pure, sentient, purifier, for Your work only, is my coming on the earth.
You are microcosm and Macrocosm too, Your love is upon all. O the flame of the lamp of
life, sky kissing high impression, in the free sky, bright mind, devotee’s heart is Your
abode. Whatever You teach, that only I learn, I have nothing of my own. The fog of ego
brings darkness of delusion.

O Lord, You are the churned out essence of heavenly sandal. Today you come to my home. I
have kept open the windows of balcony. I have placed the auspicious mango twigs with
leaves over the pitcher. I do not know the welcome waving of lamp for You, I never heard
of Your caste, yet, there is no restriction in calling You. Your name is my object. Your
idol is not known. Any name of lovely pilgrim place is not heard. Hence I create my own
self as pilgrim place, within which essence of essence is overwhelmed.

and love, they oscillate on the swing? My dull mind does not understand, for whom they
have appeared. For Whom, layers by layers, so many madhul buds smiled. All move on the
destined path in the stream with momentum of movement. The small pa’rul flower is not
useless in the world.

no one looks at the tears in my eyes. Eras after eras, coming and going, crying in pain

O Lord
You came into my life
due to my accumulated virtues of several lives.

You did not tell me in advance
and I could not decorate my house for You.
Yet, You graced me and sat down.

Many flowers bloomed in my garden
and overwhelmed my mind with fragrance.

Not even a single garland
had I threaded to welcome You.

There were sandalwood and incense to please You
O preceptor of the world.
Yey, my mind was overwhelmed with bliss
and forgot all about them.

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

You came to my life after lifetimes of good deeds.
You came without telling me
and my house was not decorated to receive You.

In the garden of my heart
flowers had already blossomed.
Their fragrance was overwhelming my mind.

I made the garland for You
but
due to being absorbed in bliss
couldn't give it to You.

great skill. Sometimes You call close and sometimes stay far, what a causeless mercy is

hundreds of lives, for Your satisfaction is this salutation of mine.

O Lord, You come, I am sitting waiting for You, not for one or two days, not for two or
four years, rather for eras after eras. In the lamp of my life, hundreds of flames I had
kindled, Numerous garlands I have threaded, providing twine of sweetness. The lamps
extinguished, the garlands dried up due to intense sun. Yet, You did not come to me
mercifully. I remain Yours in hearing, meditating and concentrating. You go on providing
new experiences every time. Why do not You come close, O the Evernew Supreme Controller.
This time make me aware of Yourself.

O Lord, You come into my mental home. There are campak and camelii flowers looking for You
with open eyes. I have decorated the incoming path with floral ground decoration, smeared
sweetness in the mental casket. Like a cakor bird, I have been thinking of the moon
spreading hope in sky and air. I have kept the eyes fixed upon the arrival path, into the
feelings, I have filled ayaska’nta, load stone gem of love. In the mind, I have fixed
the true message, willing to get the charming, Mohan still closer.

then removing the agony of meagerness, merge that into Great. Call all into the home of
affection, with butter like softness during storm and cyclones. Calling them with inviting
gesture of hand, You go on performing your job.

O the traveler, towards whom are you rushing, listen to me at least once. You would see
the One about whom you enquire where would find that Unique One. To Him, I shall offer the
necklace, who has raised resonance in the core, in my mind, all minds, in each niip of the
garden of Vrindavan.

With the murmur sound of the dry leaves, who has come today? Colored with the crimson hue
intoxicating the colourful air. The dance arises in the tender leaves. Oscillations came
into the pala’sh trees. Why the indifferent mind like this is coloured in nice hue?
Looking backward is forbidden today, there is no limitation for forward movement. Into the
many minds on this auspicious moment, secretly, He made it clear.

You came without telling, silently, as if known, yet I did not recognise You. I did not
express welcome, did not decorate doorbanner with flowers and leaves, hello, did not
come. In my sweet garden series of malatii flowers were there, but I did not pick up
flowers to fill the offering tray. There was no sandal or incense arrangement, I did not
tie the garland, decorating the chignon. O the embodiment of consciousness, Your dwelling
place is the firmament of the mind. You are love in the recess of the mind. For You
colourful hope comes, and I consider You the gem in the mental casket.

O Lord, I have been loving You, in the spaces of palm trees, in green shade of the garden
in the rhythms of peacock’s voices of the shrub groves. The bamboos and niip with same
tone, spoke to me, “Why do you forget me, I am also dancing Gokul of the gopas, the
devotees”. Touching the grazing ground of Govardhan hills, the river Ka’lindii
(Yamuna’) speaks bowing up to waist, “I am there for all, in the cosmic mind, in the
mental temple and in the eye decoration of Vrnda’van.

O Eternal, Spotless, destroyer of worldly fears, owner of all colours of gems, You are the

unified. Though Your abode is in Nirgun’a, the attributionless state, You are expressed
in attributionfull state. Unseen and Evernew located in millions of minds. In land
water, air, in blue sky of feelings, as constant glow and collection of parts You exist.
Under the envelop of darkness, covering well the eyes, I die searching You day and night
in pilgrimage, mountains and forests. O the King of mind, I salute You bowing to the earth
in mind, You are accomplishment of mind but base of the mind.

darkness. Above the effulgence of known and unknown, You are the flow of nectar. You
remain in mind unseen, smear the decoration in the eyes with mental gesture. You are not
touched by the pain and results of actions. Remaining in all, You are devoid of all. You
bring consciousness in all minds. In sleep, dream and awaken state, with intense
concentration, You come into the folds.

I shall always remain in Bha'va Gokula, i.e. Vrajabha'va.
I was mostly visible along the Yamuna banks

or under the Kadamba and Tamala trees
or in the lovely company of the devotees
or on the blue waters of the Yamuna river.

I, the same Kris'n'a, now assure my devotees
that I won't forget anything of this place.

come here in the capital, Mathura. Here I got my worldly family members, mother Devakii
and my father Vasudeva. I have forgotten the mother yashodha and uncle Nanda as they
remain in Vrindavan. Still my mind returns again and again to Vraja. My heart is restless
all those things that I love and for which I have affection for are floating all around
the land and water in the current of the Yamuna river.' 'Each and every moment I feel and
find myself encircled by the loving company of devotees. I also remember the longing and
crying hearts of devotees of Braj, Vrndaban. 'Indeed the eternal longing of highestgrade
devotees I can never forget.

which I survive, what I keep holding, seeking what I move, in which I am engrossed, that
comes from You, merged in You, even after knowing this fact I do not remember. O the

O Lord, You were in unexpressed state, arose vibration, and by illusive game, liila’
created this world. I am unable to find the beginning, there is no limit of the end. In
that ocean of consciousness You floated. The initial Creation, eternal, dormant
consciousness within nonliving, Only One Hari, concentration of sweet flow, eternal, and
ancient. You gave feet to all, and shelter even to sinners. You never kept discrimination
feelings and created this world by Your game, liila’. The honey bathed moonlight, deep
ocean, the earnestness of the meager white ant and sharp intellect, within all You are
present, from time immemorial, O beyond time, You came down within periphery of time.

O Lord, I seek You in floral beauty, in moonlight of autumn moon, and green trees and
creepers. You are the gem of my eyes, seeking towards inside, You are the wealth of
diamond mine, glowing in darkness. Then, why do You go away after coming, merging in
unknown? You are the light and shade of the broken dream, hope of the coloured morning. I
go on singing in fog, without getting suppressed by the disappointments. And go on looking
with hard earnestness towards distant heaven.

O the fresh Sun, You came in the eastern sky and made all he lives vibrate with light. O

The Unseen, Spotless, destroyer of the highest obstacle, blissful to all minds by total
charm. The living beings want to know You individually and collectively, by concentrating
upon You in meditation. By the inferences of colour or odor, You never stop. You provide
pain for purification, the cosmos bows totally before You. O the Great, all history and

intellect is unable to bring You within folds. Your power is immeasurable, Your brilliance

living beings, stay within feelings of all. As benevolent, You destroy all nonauspicious

endless and unlimited. While counting past time without beginning, I get lost in end.
Moving forward looking for satiation, the eyes are lost. All intellect and skill of human
beings, ego and pride bow down. That is why I have come to the shelter of Your feet, pull

O Lord, You remain in hundreds of forms and flow. Within the mind, morning evening, you
are engrossed in sound of flute. Whenever I go to the waters of river Yamuna’, Your
flute sound surrounds me and calls me roaming, what an illusive game, liila’, You go on
performing? My mind does not engage in domestic jobs. I do not know what an attraction is

the Companion of my melody, Who is that You, who came and steered the boat towards the
tide? In which heaven do You dwell, conducting the ocean of world? You make me cross the
unlimited ocean through the unfailing laws of inferences. My life is short, the boat is
small that I have made heavy with sam’ka’ras, the reactive momenta. That is why I am
unable to pull the load, while rowing along the tides.

my mind. For several eras I have sought You, remembering several forms, I went on
searching You. How much darkness and brightness, I have smeared into the mind, can I get
any account of that? O the Controller beyond time, You know all. O Lord beyond forms, pull

want to create?

actions, as the receptacle of the result of actions, according to the law. You are

attained consciousness that would break away this web of infatuation. Whatever has been my
past, let the future be only for You. On the strings of my viin’a’, let Your rhythm
and melody constantly vibrate. From today onwards, I have become Yours, I shall seek You
each moment. O The Great, with the flow of blood in each vein, I shall call You.

I do not forget You, I had forgotten, that forgetting is not oblivion. By that oblivion
in my blood, constantly Your victory is resonated. You do not come into folds in front of
eyes, made home in the pupil of the eyes, pouring light of discrimination in bosom, You
told, secure. You brought consciousness at the end, with new touch added inspiration. You
woke the sleeping mind, and gave the boon of fearlessness.

Tell me due to what pain in your eyes, clouds have come and the decoration marking is
wiped? O the nightingale of garden, due to what pain your eyes are full of tears. In the
garden, today there is crowd of naoroja? Whose cloth lining is there below the grass? Why
the nest of nightingale is shaking? Who has made disturbances in the flower vase? Who is
that Poet, Who, sitting in isolation, silently goes on crying and creating songs? By
illusive game He makes all dance, cry and smile. He opens and binds in golden chains.

O Lord, I could not recognise You, with what delusion do You continue coming and going. I
do not accept defeat before anyone, You hold the heart even when accepting defeat. The
past, present and future, decaying or developing, all remain vibrated within You, to
declare this fact, You hold flute. The living beings, the world and its creator, all the
three are unified in only You. The root base of all feelings, with this ideation You fill
love in ankle bell sound.

O Lord, on dark path, I search You, You came with glow of effulgence. I could not
recognise You in that illumination, as becoming embodiment of sound You smiled. There was
collection of mistakes and misunderstanding, and there was no awareness of reality, that
is consciousness with me. With the opening of brilliance of the long matted hairs, You
tore away my ego. From darkness, I came into light, and loved the mountain of effulgence.
Dancing with the tune of the ankle bell sound, I danced, but I do not understand, what
illusive game, liila’, You create.

O Lord, the path through which You had come, on that, flowers bloom even today. The dust
of feet that You had left, with the fragrance of that, even today the bees come. The
series of stars that smiled softly, the smile of the moon that all wanted, the autumn
clouds coloured in mind with Your hue, they do not break. I essentially want that path
with fragrant odor, I lose myself. O the heavenly tree granting desired objects, O the
mountain of fragrance, with the memory of that pollen, the intuition bows down.

O unknown one!
Who are you?
You suddenly came and broke my slumber.
I do not know why.

I was asleep in deep darkness.
My windows were closed.

I did not open the door
nor asked You to come in.
And yet, You stood before me face to face.

I opened my eyes
and saw You shining in divine effulgence
pouring Your compassionate mercy upon me.

I do not know where I was and why I came.

You told me about my past
and told not to cry.

The door, the windows
my sleep and my awakening
were all just my imaginations.

lotus fragrance, within the pond filled with dirt. Without blinking my eyes, constantly
from morning to evening, day & night I am involved in shravan, manan, nidhidhyasana
ideation, and full concentration in Your dhyan. So many years, so many lives have passed
with many pleasures and pains. Several touch of warmth and coolness, I have undergone
remembering You.

glowing Your beauty, with the living beings You perform Your series of intoxicating
charming play, by spreading or deluding. Amongst all the benevolent, You are most
benevolent. O Dear You are incomparable. You kindle lamp in darkness.

The pollen of katakii flower told into my ears that the buds of kadamba cry. It resonates
in each sound, the microcosmic river Yamuna’, does not flow with tides today into the
series of bodies. The peacocks, peahens, deer, are awaiting day and night. They cannot
imagine, under whose stream of memories, with love You would float. In the groves of palms
and bamboos, even today the bees hover in groups. That flute does not play, that smile is
not scattered, the blue lotus is lost.

closer, playing Your flute within the core of the mind. So that within core of the garden
Your eternal love resonates.

O the distant companion, break my slumber, I have come close, even though under fog of
ma’ya’, I have been drifting without shore. The day passed, in useless games, the
evening comes untimely. Each moment the age is lost in waste, the annihilating night tells
with gesture. I have heard that You are present individually and collectively, in pain and
pleasure, in the stream of feelings, from beginning to the end. With this consolation, I
cry and smile.

in Your neck, then with the twine with dropped flowers, I shall cry alone. I know that You
come in morning with crimson light, in colourful forms and songs of the birds. Through the
tunes and octaves, You express Your performance, liila’. My flowers of camelii, juhii

one hue, with love as one collection poured with mental sweetness.

You have forgotten

but I have not.

The lingering faint resonance
of the ambrosial melody that You composed
I hear even today.

Day and night
that song floats up into the sky
and mixes with the stars
with numerous fruits
with flowers and with the grass.

That song flows on through rivers
seas, lands and galaxies.

In the waves of the ocean
even now, I sometimes I hear it.

O Dear my acquaintance with You, is not of today. Originating from time immemorial, I have
come, associated individually and collectively, You have remained together, O the
Embodiment of consciousness. I have come in the waves of feelings, sometimes with pain and
distress and sometimes with swing of joy. I have forgotten the sense of time, good or bad
time. How many mornings and how many dawns, and illusive fogs of the many nights, tell me
into my ears that I am not helpless. In that ideation I am engrossed.

O Lord, telling that You would come again, You moved away. Why did You forget? The eyes
are witness, tears are witness, all in the world are witness. Why did You make me cry
unnecessarily? Again and again I hear that You come into the worldly abode. But whether
this degraded would get human body again and again? That is why I call You intensely from
the core of the heart. Why do You remain deaf? Even now there is time, the sunlight is
still there. There is balanced conviction in addition to feeling of love. The Great
resonating within the bubble of the ocean, You respond to that mental bud.

O Lord, it is hard to recognise You. When I thought that I recognised You gave me the end.
In my penance, there was ego, that all darkness would be removed. At the end part of
night, having woken, I saw that the shade of ego went on spreading. O Lord of all minds
at the end of all I came into Your shelter, at Your feet. After coming, I understood, that
I have become Yours, by wee bit of Your mercy.

O Lord, keeping Yourself distant You tell that You love me, Then why are You not coming
within my earthly grasp so that I can touch You. Sitting unseen You smile softly
appearing like moon in the blue sky. You are collection of all unknown objects. The
glittering necklace of unrecognised consciousness. Not understanding the boundless pain of
the afflicted, Yu simply smile with charming lips. O the embodiment of the divine game
liila’, I cannot understand You, but even without recognizing You, I call You merciful.

O Dear Lord, the song that I sing to You, do not You hear that? That which originated from
the core of the heart, is it to be neglected? The flower that blooms on the earth, and
goes on pouring the fragrance, if that cries in dust, is it to be forgotten? Having filled
me with beauty and flow, if You give empty hands, then remember the request of that lost
wealth.

O Lord, I have loved You in hundreds of styles with tearful eyes in the mirror of the
mind, beyond the waves of bright sunrays, and over the sky kissing peaks. Each moment and
each period, over the illumination bathed sandy shore. Within oblique lock of hair around
the grazing ground, I seek You in golden past, in colourful hopes for the future, with
individual and collective association of the mental existence, within and beyond body, in
the base of feelings.

the light with darkness, You, remaining together with me, wipe out that mark. If any
dilemma comes, breaking the rhythm, by providing bliss of life, O Brother, get me the feet
dust of the protector from the tangle.

O Lord, the lamp that had gone kindling, the flame of that, floats in the blue sky. The
niip flower that You filled with love, the pollen of that, even today goes on oscillating.
The smile with which You charmed the world, the flute that You placed on the lips, the
eyes through which You poured the honey, that love goes on oozing endlessly. The melody
that was covered with feelings, the hue that is smeared with love, the love that remains
located in the memory, that appears for satiating You in the base of feelings, dancing
surrounding the holder of the flute, Ven’udhar, Krsna.

mountains, You are Himalayas, essence of nectar in heavenly garden. You are the eastern
hill in the crimson dawn, ever vibrant in the stream of mercy. Ever brilliant above the
dirt, remove the load of agony of all. O the Owner of the world, those who love You
amongst them I am also a person. I do not want anything, just stay with me, this prayer I
am expressing before You again and again.

O Lord, I have been loving You unknowingly for eras after eras, sometimes in sleep and
sometimes awake. Sometimes I went on calling with fear and terror, and sometimes with
smiling mental impulse. Having lost the direction in the forest lanes, and not finding the
proper articles for the path in dark night. When he polestar gets covered by cloud, I went
on calling You. You do not enquire about events, hear the facts, and mercifully, remove
the pain. Into the ears always You went on telling, “ I am ever with you, in pain and
pleasure”.

O Lord, You go on looking at me by virtue of my pious deeds. You are present in both light
and darkness, in each moment. When my life becomes burden, fog surrounds me, tears flow
and I think that the world is like poison, then as if someone whispers into my ears and
smiles in my mental temple. The glow that is never extinguished, the love that never
reduces, the speed that never pauses, that You do not forget.

You cannot be attained by effort, except Your grace, and You are the Supreme

The evening malati flower wants to swing
the kunda creeper is anxiously looking
for a supporting tree.
The night queen and gandhara'j flowers
keep expressing their agony.

in the evenings
snow falls on the shrubs of kamala' and on vines.
Candramallika' is full of buds.
They all are pouring forth sweetness.

O Lord, expecting You, I am sitting here. The day has passed, the evening went off, during
evenings, I remained looking at the sky. I threaded a garland below the ma’latii
creeper, looking at the shade spread with shiuli each moment. That garland, why did You
allow to dry by negligence? This I have been thinking again and again with tearful eyes.
With withering of flowers, the remaining twine of the swinging garland cries. What it not
get on seeking, that goes on floating in the mind. The night, covering all, speaks into
the ears, “ the light is close to the darkness”.

madhul tree, You came during intense rain. I have threaded garland and decorated bouquet
with flowers of bela’, bakul and juhii. How many days have passed with the smile of
tender new leaves and how many nights have gone crying with sandal breeze. With ketakii
flower fragrance shriveled hair, the eyes were absorbed watching the incoming lane. The
crimson dawn which was so beautiful in the morning that got lost in the hot sun of the
midday. With the lightning sound You appeared in the evening sky, making me forget that
pain.

forests and impassable difficult roads. Days come and go. The nights only providing false
assurance, only delude the innocent. The stars and planets moving in their orbits, speak

You physically, mentally and feelings, that You come to my home again and again.

One Nymph came and with warm breath, and touch of life, sketched the memory. With golden
glow in the distant sky, the banner of stars is decorated. With silver markings, the
nebula sings and awakens with the spirit of consciousness. Far and near within the cosmic
mind, kindling diipak tune is sounding. He bloomed flowers in that dry stone, touched fire
in the tranquil snow and with deep rhythm, in the dead sea, poured nectar of life.

O Controller of all, those who love You, do not You love them? You make them smile and cry
through Your illusive game, liila’, what a system of love, I do not understand. The
flowers bloom to fall to the earthy dust, the beautiful fountain loses itself into the
desert. Innumerable buds, dry up before blooming, such merciless how can be called good?
You keep the soft siivantii flower surrounded by the thorns and cover the full moon with
clouds. And keeping the sandal tree full of snakes, they cannot be accepted as love.

O Lord, You listen to the mental events, Within the core of mind, with charming adornment
You keep the sweet feelings. You are the destroyer of darkness, for dark night, soft water
during desert thirst, protective umbrella of cloudy night, guiding beacon for those who
have lost the path. I search You, why have You covered Your form with charming delusion?
You are the festival tune of the spring season. During pain and agony, soft fragrance. I
am awakened, and I shall let no mistake affect the love.

O Dear Lord, You had told that You would come again, that did You forget? Then why on the
mango branch of mine, sweet buds did You bring? You had told that during intense summer
heat, within the bosom of bela’ and bakul flowers, to make them forget their sorrow of
withering, by touch You would pour down joy. Smilingly You had told the pollen of ketakii
for reducing the pain of thorns, You would pull the honeybees close, that fact, You had
forgotten O Lord.

The Unknown traveler has come. The earth is filled with flowers, fruits and mark of love.
For Him no one is distant, no one is alien, everyone is His own, close and intimate.
Wiping out the tears of sufferings of all, He has removed sorrows. Coming riding the
chariot of effulgence, He merged individually and collectively. With the boon of blessings
and fearlessness in hands, He pulled all close.

You are the King of my mental Vrnda’van. O taking the form of formless, remover of
worldly fears, all the living beings dance around You. How many times I came, how much I
smiled and cried, and performed Your work, moving within You. Sometimes I am successful
sometimes failed too, with pride and hurt ego I plundered at Your feet. Yet the movement
did not stop, I did not forget You, even today my search for You goes on. From One to
many, You are collection of many, making nearest of own, You go on enjoying. O Eternal
Ancient Purus’a, ever new, not knowing or knowing the limited and unlimited, I worship
You.

fundamental factors. Nobody could have imagined that. O Lord, You willed “ I will become
many, and with pain and pleasure I shall create the play, liila’”, Thus You bloomed
flowers and coloured them, and by pouring light, awakened life.

In the spring season, what does the madhul tree say? Even with rapt attention, I am unable
to understand that. With scattered tender leaves, in the golden dwelling, why does the
garden cry, why the tears flow? That Traveler, did not come for the whole year, crossing
the forests and difficult desert, crossing the mountains and snowy storms, is it due to
that the garden unable to bear, cries? O forest, do not cry, that Traveler would come, and
would win over your mind and life. Smiling sweetly, He would pull You close, the flowers
remembering His arrival, overwhelm.

O Lord, by understanding Your love, I could search my true self. You came adorned like a
pole star and I moved towards You. When tiredness comes due to work, destroying peace by
negative thoughts, dark clouds float in the sky, then I take shelter in that love. My sky
and air dance by the rhythm of Your anklebell. My aspirations get consolation within Your
Consciousness. One angel from the arena of effulgence and unknown illusion, calls me
through gesture. You are that angel, O Dear, this I understood in meditation.

O Lord, this song of mine is the flow of bliss of my life. Coming from the beginning less
ness to endless ness, it resonates my unison, the single stringed viin’a’. This song
would never heed to any obstruction. This song would never hurt any one’s mind. This
song filling vitality, make one lose the self by charm. This song never tells any one to
bow down nor appeases any one. This song is selfluminous having only one desideratum, the
Supreme as the polestar.

O Lord, I am unable to recognise You, even though I stay close to You. Even though, I
derive vitality from effulgence, I am unable to hold its flow. You have poured out all the
heavenly nectar and wetted my desert. You brought pearl in the bosom of shell, that I now
understand through intuition, though late. All the twelve Rudras, the divinities, and
eleven Great annihilators, Maha’ka’las, eight Highest Dynasties, the lotus stem of
time, all know that You are sweet affection and Dangerous hill, knowing all, I have come
to Your shelter.

O Dear, come with sweet smile, and always float into my eyes. Destroy all the dark agonies
of my mind, which is hard to remove. You are present in creation, sustenance and
destruction, but You have kept only me ignored. Why are You frenzied with this merciless
game, liila’? Remove this web of illusion, ma’ya’. O the controller of ma’ya’
the illusory web, there is no deception, You stay close O the controller of the world.
Whisper into my ears that story, which would be memorable till the end in the world.

O the Unknown Traveler, look for a moment, I have remained seated for You. Awaiting
looking at the path, the garland has dried up. The day has passed, and night has come. In
the blue sky, millions and millions of stars have appeared. By the dense darkness, all
directions are covered, yet I go on seeing the ray of hope. My night of pains would end.
The dark nights would pass and morning would come. The morning sunlight would fill the
body, vitality and the mind, and I plan to thread a new floral garland.

festivity of colours, merge in that colour. Love Him with the sweetness of the mind, Who
is essence of essence in the world. You and He are bound most intimately and secretly. His

You. Where are You, the Steersman with unlimited grace, take me towards the shore. This
unknown ocean is unrecognised and hard to conquer. There are numerous cyclonic waves.
There are many hurdles in moving ahead, across the hundreds of flows of this Shatadru
river. I continued moving searching You, since eras after eras, without any consideration
of time, in light and dark. Come showering mercy, surrounding hearing, meditation and
contemplation.

In the bamboo grove, why the bees buzz in groups and groups today? O the Entity beyond
time, why are You merciless, remove the hatred, fear and shyness. I was thinking in the
mind that I should sit in seclusion, in depth of bamboo forest secretly. You create a
Kingdom of illusion, ma’ya’, with upsurge of feelings without any consideration of
time with merciless delusion, liila’. Listen to my affairs, do not take away the pain, I
know Your history O the Divinity. The one whom You love, You smile in their heart, and

and chirping of the day, O the King of Vraja, come into my folds. When the journey started
and it will end, when shall I be Yours and when You shall be mine? With the knowledge of
eternal and ephemeral, and drowsy Cosmic sound, I shall adorn with eternal adornment.

of feelings, oscillations have started in the life. Today the bunch of flowers is restless
and eager. The hundredpetal lotus of the mind, has engrossed me by its fragrance. Only
Your events and glories have kept my mind filled. O the moon of my mind, never go away.
Knowingly or unknowingly, sometimes with concentration and sometimes unmindfully, each
moment and second, I call You without consideration of the time.

O Lord
I want to hold You in my meditation.
Why do You play hide and seek with me?
My mind wants to merge in You.
Why do You beguile me every moment?

In the infinite sky when clouds appear
hiding the moon and stars
when clouds appear in my mental arena
then, do You forget me?

O presiding deity of all temples
You are ever shining within and beyond
the periphery of time.

You continue dancing in the groves
of niip and tama'l trees in the govardhana hills
displaying Your sportive mood.
What a wondrous declaration of love is this?

When the Lord would become my own, I am waiting for that day. O Lord, day and night, each
moment and period, I go on thinking of You. O the Ta’raka Brahma, the Emancipator Cosmic
Entity, I search You in mountains, caves, and roam in Pilgrim places. I went to holy
rivers, seas, and several holy places. But I got lots of disappointments. O the Ever
Charioteer of this battlefield, Kuruks’etra, there is no pause for You, day and night.
All friends and foes come to Your shelter, I hear the feelings of all.

O Lord, I continued searching You in distant external world, in hills, caves, temples
pilgrim places, and holy waters uselessly. I thought that I would get knowledge from the
scriptures, as they can hold and bring You. By rosary garland and forehead mark, I thought
that I would get sama’dhi, the trance, and honor from public would come. I thought that
by hard penance, I can get You, and attain You by dint of intuition. I also thought that
by spending money, I would gain virtue and Your grace, and I never searched You in the
light of love.

O Dear Lord, why did not You come to my home? I have drawn decoration paintings for
welcoming You and kept flowers in folded hand for offering. The morning light had told me
“ That Dear is overwhelmed with feeling always and His light destroys the darkness of
life, He would come to your home”. The setting sun of the evening had told,” Kindle
more lamps for that Dear, in the stream of sa’dhana’, pour more nectar and decorate
your mind in still better way”.

I did not look at that. Days pass, time passes, no one enquires any time, what is my pain
what the mind wants, do not remove Your shade from me

On a soft and cloudy night
with rhythm and song
my only desire is to please You.

I constantly pray for Your grace
to make me pour out my love in selfless service
to this afflicted earth.

You are the single source, illuminating my life.
You are the beacon polestar
to those who lost the path.

You are the bottomless and boundless ocean
of innumerable waves.
I try to fathom Your depths but all goes in vain.

When there was nothing
You were all alone.
O supreme one
how and what for did You create this universe?

With what expectation did You become many from one?
To this question there is no answer.

O My Dear, on that moist evening, You had told that You would come at the appropriate
time, have You forgotten that event? In the grove of trees, sitting in an arbor, my time
passes threading the garland in melancholy, and the days pass like flow of waves. Yet You
did not look at me even for a moment. The five seasons go and the spring season comes. On
each tree new leaves smile. In the mental mirror, a faint hope appears, the lovely
environment tells that the Dear came.

O Dear, if You do not come useless is my threading of garland. Useless is my creation of
the floral bed and rehearsing of the melody of the rhythmic song. I was in one corner of
the earth. I had no glow of mine. I had no floral garden and there was no song of
nightingale. You came, bloomed the flowers, and told me the sandalfragrant story.
Whosoever has come, they also go, and none stays for anyone. O the Dearest, Ever Enduring
my eyes are attached to Your path.

vow of taking the torch in hand. O the cause of the world, stopper of calamities, O my

went far. I understood the sandal breeze had come, to remove all my dismay and
disappointments, the entire coming and going, desire, achievements and hopes, are wiped

Within and beyond feelings, from a blade of grass to the cosmos, hence You smile with many
illusory game, liila’. O the Hari of the devotees, listen showering grace, Pardon and
take away all my errors. During pain and agonies, I look for You, Give me this auspicious
awareness.

O Lord, ignoring me, why did You go away far, did not think about me? On this earth, You
threw me, and did not pull me upwards. The planets, stars and sun are close to You, and
move encircling around You. O Lord, why am I left behind, You did not reply to that. What
lamentations are expressed by my mind, how many plans did it have for me, realizing my
ultimate purpose, You provided me eternal awareness.

Having shown the signal of effulgence, O Dear, why did You forget? Coloring the mind with
rhythm and melody, to which heaven did You go away? I was in deep darkness, encircling
myself like a cyclone. Awakening consciousness within me, by what illusory game, liila’
did You hide? I do not know science and philosophy, do not know rituals and oblations in
the sacrificial fire. I only think in meditation of effulgence, why did You swing the
mind.

O Lord, whatever was there, whatever is present and whatever would be coming in the
future, all are Yours. In the rays of moon, in the deep blue sky, in garland of stars, is
Your glory. O the Controller of all, You are Yourself without Controller. You make poison
into Nectar and nectar into poison. Whatever You want, You go on doing, remaining
unassailed Yourself. You remained smaller than the smallest, yet create oscillations in
the mind and lives of all. O incomparable, unlimited, You remain associated individually
and collectively. You are formless, ascended above the cosmos.

O Lord, I searched You within knowledge, action and philosophy. I love You, hence came
down to this earth to attain You. Coming and going again and again, with some hope and
some disappointment, Some understanding and some fog call me by gesture of hand. I
searched You in the heaven and Vraja, and many arenas, but did not search in the light of
love, is it due to that You are engrossed in Your divine game, liila’?

O Lord, why have You left me forgotten? You consider about all in the world, but do not
come to me. I search You day and night, each moment and second, sitting on the path
listening to Your charming flute. Do You call me in this style? I have forgotten all the
feeling of ego and pride and left the worry of own and others. Taking garland in the
hands, I have remained awake, waiting to see when would You consider me and in what way
would You keep Yourself hidden.

after commencement of morning, with the chirping of birds, by kindling the seven coloured
lamp, removing the accumulated unlimited darkness. I cannot forget Him in anyway, and
remember Him each moment. He was unknown to me, I did not know His name. At that

asleep. You are in the festivity of light, You are in the nectar of life. That traveler
would attain the goal, who would move towards You.

O Lord, when shall You become my own, with that hope, I am counting moments. When there
would be tide of imagination in my mental river Yamuna’, that net I weave. O the essence
of essence of the seven arenas, You are endlessly and unlimitedly beloved. The strings of
my broken viin’a’. will play listening to Your ankle bell. Whatever has come, whatever
will come, whatever has not come, and whatever would remain, whatever is asleep in Your
mind, all I consider as my own.

Through thorough sounding and goading all the time the excessive love and affection is
marked. By meditating on that condensed consciousness, love emanates from the mind.
The unknown traveler, vibrant with light, had come for a moment. Knocking the at the
closed door He smiled in a majestic style. O Lord, I could not recognise You initially
did not place the garland of the smiling flowers. I did not decorate with sandal paste and
vermillion. He Himself pulled the seat and sat down. Removing the darkness and bringing
illumination, You floated my mind and life in effulgence. At the time of departing You did
not declare, what for had You come and why did You go.

When the love of The Pure, Essence or the Attributed Consciousness, shines perfectly like
sunrays, and the mind is balanced, sheltered nicely , then the play is called idea or
thought.

O The Dearest, the day when You had woken up, expressed, on this uncreated earth, You had
taken the form of condensed mercy, with unparalleled illusory sweetness. You were pure
would remain pure, and would purify the great world. O Ever Pure, my celebrity, all want
You in meditation. With firm external cover and soft look, You would illuminate my mind.
You would give love and take love, by giving love, You would create the world. You are
beloved of the devotees, the gopiis, attained in the feeling of the mind, as banner of
consciousness. You would remain with all, individually and collectively, O the destroyer
of enemies.

O Lord, I attained You and forgot all. My mind rushes towards its firmament, the sky.
Leaving the fear and shyness, I have come on the path. The heavenly nectar flows in the
soft breeze. What has remained yet to come, beyond imagination, beyond the achievement of
the feeling of dream, that has come under thought, resonating in the feelings, as
stupefaction of the lyre. O Purus’ottama, the inner most, with the vibration of mercy
You came in my arena of thought. Within the stars, You are the brightest glow, came
expressed initially as liila’, the illusion.

O Dear, after so many days, if You have come, then sit for a moment. With incomparable
feet leaving the marks, smile softly. Since eras after eras, I have been calling You. I
have kindled light outside and inside. I have spread seat within the core of the heart
coming today, destroy the dirt. I have continued calling You with earnest will, with the
same charge, I shall keep You held. O Maha’sambhu’ti, the Greatest Creation, with Your
direction, I shall not keep even the trace of ego.

Only one request I have kept in the mind. You are mine and I am Yours, awaken this

When He went, the eyes were full of tears. He did not tell anything, did not declare any
thing. He went rejecting the floral garland that I had threaded alone, with the twine of
the core of my heart and unknown flowers. Storm was blowing and the lane was covered with
darkness. Marked with water and darkness, the eyes were restless. That night has gone away
far. That memory in the tune of mercy, goes on telling slowly, that the coming and going
of the bud is through piercing the thorns. The grace of the Controller will not go down
by gulping of the time.

O The Dearest Lord, You came into the eyes and loved, You are the gem of my eye. You have
filled the mind and provided direction, You are the sweetest, essence of nectar. I am
dirty grass, You are fragrance, You are bright effulgence, You are unexpressed Controller
the Cosmic lotus in the ocean of world. O Purus’ottama, condensed beauty. I searched You
in temples, pitchers and doors. Finding nowhere, I worshipped in the mind. Now I
understood that You are the base of the mind. By surrender of the self, You came close, O
the distant most.

are the desired goal of all the seven arenas. I remember You day and night, never
forgetting You even by mistake. O the cherished goal of this created world, accept the

O Lord, You came into the eyes, coloured the mind, but did not You come touching the
earth. You are the receptacle, of life, wealth of the ideas, the pain of staying away from
You is unbearable. O the farthest Dearest of mine, You are the essence of the nectar of
moonlight, and stealer of the heart. The cakor bird, that cries with the pain of
nonachievement, why do not You think about that? You belong to all through the individual
and collective association, yet You have remained only mine. You are the essence of
consciousness, essence of essence, staying within the mind, You do not understand that.

The unknown traveler had come for a moment, illuminating the casket of the mind. I could
not know Him, could not understand Him, could not hold Him wholeheartedly. His coming and
going was full of glow. His smile and look was pearl flowing. Talking about Him, I forget
the world, removing away the distinction of known and unknown. Afterwards I understood
who is that Who had come. The Gopa’l of consciousness danced in the heaven. The
limitation was lost in the infinity. With the shining threaded necklace of affection of
Macrocosm with microcosm, He illuminated my mental casket.

O Lord, telling that You would return, You went away and did not come back to my home. The
peacock of my mind and the armlet of time are witness to that. The morning light had told
that the Who loves, for Him, kindle more lamp of love and continue meditating on Him. The
evening star told, that the Dear would not be lost, He is filled in the casket of the
mind, as storehouse of the bliss.

beauty. O Lord, You are Dear from the first advance, with initially expressed effulgence.
You pour blissful sweetness with the figurative expression of Your liila’, the illusive
play. There is no coming and going for You, with smiling mercy, each moment, You break and
create without telling what You want. The Creator, created and the universe is there, and
as aggregate of all the three You are the Great. You are One with multiplicities
immobile, yet moving. In exchange of microcosmic “I”, You fill the Cosmic.

O Lord, You go on calling me day and night, but why do not You come close Yourself? You
know that I love You, but I do not understand whether You love me. The sandal breeze of
the morning tells me smilingly, “ Do you have the acquaintance of Your Dearest? He
remains merged in sky and air, He is stationed within the ‘self’ and destroys the
darkness”. The star of the sky tells silently, “ That Dear is mixed with the deep
thought, He can be attained by yoga of meditation at the root of the consciousness, and
removes all the fetters and enemies.

gesture. Churning the honey of mind, with the twine of love, I decorate the consciousness
of the mind. Along with the niip flowers, smearing the fragrant pollen, I keep the shy
eyes with moist breeze. In the bamboo grove, I listen, who goes on calling constantly
through the sound of flute. I do not want to get lost yet I am lost, when getting close, I
lose myself. I go on applying the decoration mark to the eyes and then go on wiping, with
the adamancy of getting the distant most.

O Lord, by the touch of life, the fire that You had kindled, by that, my lamp is glowing
even today. The spring, festivity of colour that You have brought, the flowers of that
pour fragrance even now. The inertia of cold is moved out. The buds and leaves are coming
up. The sky is sounding with the noise of peacock and cuckoos. The sandal breeze came
uninvited. The tender leaves dance on the branches of the tree. The mental peacock is
engrossed in dancing. The swan, losing the bonds sound, cheered up with achievement.

You are the Supreme Controller amongst all controllers. And You are the Supreme Deity
amidst all deities. You are the master of all masters, Supreme amidst superiors. I worship
You O Lord, the most revered Controller of the world. Having churned the heaven, I
attained You, O the essence of sandal, You have kept the earth under control. Yu are the
holder of this earth, protector of the three arenas, provider of the heavenly wealth, ever
embodiment of the consciousness within the firmament of the mind. All want You, without
distinction of high and low. I attained Macrocosm within the microcosm, by Your mercy, O
the Master of Tantra.

O Lord
Although You are near
yet You remain far from me.
Into the inner cavity of my mind
come quickly during my meditation.

How many lifetimes
how many years, passed by
in my endeavour to attain You?
How many tears and joys
floated away
in expectation of Your arrival?
O ever new one
I entreat You to make me Yours today.
I am the same as ever.
My everything belongs to You.

I did not forget You.
I just forgot that I am unable to forget You.

O pardoner of faults
come near
and sit on the crest of my consciousness.

I continued moving on to Your path, without looking back again. Along with action, I sing
Your name. Sitting in isolation, I do meditation. I have left all pride and ego, yet You
did not provide shelter at Your feet. You are the flow of my life. I am void without You.
You are the polestar above the path, this fact knowingly You do not understand.

Being fragrant with the pollen of katakii flower, the moonlight illumination rushes in the
distant sky. Come down opening the closed door to those who are sleeping. The nectar on
the earth is scattered, the sweetness of the heaven goes on calling. The Universe sounds
with exhalations, speaking about the Singular Entity in the level of songs. By raising the
tail the peacock tells that today on the earth, no one is alien. Leaving lethargy, with
gesturing game, make the mind frenzied with the grand celebration.

the sky is shining spotlessly
and darkness has vanished.
Now come to my home.

I have forgotten
The agonies and repentances
of hundreds of ages.

Casting off lethargy
I am now moving forward.

I have kept restrained the flood of tears.
I found You close
O distant one!

Let others say what they please.
I do not pay heed to that. You are there, and there is a path,

and along that path I move.

I never remain oblivious
of the sorrows and sufferings of humanity.
I realised that You have sent me on this earth
to remove sorrows and sufferings.
I am for You and I am for Your mission.

The trace of the melody goes on floating, in that I lose the song. That fragrance even

not understand the pain. Keeping in mind, my own meanness, I remain standing at the door.

look and thus I would never lose the path. I tread on the thorny path, pushing the

O Nat’ara’j, Shiva, You came after so many days. You lock of matted hair goes on
dancing in new style, with fear and shyness in the heaven and the three arenas. Those who
were sleeping, disrespected in the world, within the human frame, decayed with sorrows.
They woke up, the drowsiness broke, and all found new enthusiasm. Your hand held drum and
war drums and long horn sounds, O Lord. Your victory sound arises surrounding the horizon.
The awareness of Dharma arose, and mankind got consciousness. The afflictions moved being
devoured by the demon.

The king of seasons, the spring, has arrived with the festivity of tender leaves. The sky
and air are expressed vibrantly, with the feelings of the blue sky. The colourful smile of
the colourful flower speaks love. The smiling moon of the illuminated night, by gesture
speaks something, what is that? Sweetness is filled in each mind, the ma’dhavii flower
blooms in the garden. O the King of mind, I shall colour my mind with the broth of love.

The meteorites, and lightning carry fire, the serpents have raised hood. O Lord, awaken
humanity and destroy the ghastly devil, annihilating the horrendous power. This sky and
this air is self luminous. Given by the God for all. The star studded sky envelops the
green, fresh earth. O brothers, come together for all, I have honor for all which are for
all. Whatever is provided and accumulated is sufficient for all human beings. Uselessly
the grabbing and killings occurs and losses and destruction takes place. Today in the
eastern sky the sun that smiles, with that illumination, I shall fill the minds of all.
Whatever has not happened in the past, that I shall do.

O Lord, pardon my meanness of asking. Remove Your readiness to hide behind. Your
expression is seen in flowers, fruits and colourful development of tender leaves. Then do
not withdraw the sweet fragrant essence of dust particles. I only seek Your inspiration
to move by Your power of propulsion. I exist due to Your will, why do You forget that O
the support of all.

At that time, He, was as Singular, Absolute Consciousness, with no entity to see or to be
seen, no exchange, as the energy or prakrti was also in sleeping, dormant stage.
O Lord, I had hope that You would come this time, during the sweet season of spring, that
You would bring irrigating flood over my dry, dead, tree, with appearance of flow of the
smiling bamboo groves. The tender leaves whispered into my ears, “ That Dear loves you
in meditation, hearing, concentrating or contemplating. He can be found in the firmament
of the your mind”. The bud of mallika’ flower also did not forget, and told me pouring
the melody of love, “ That Dear would come and charm the mind, remove entire enemies and
bondages, by blowing the flute with charm and flow.

By assimilating the knowledge of the Greatest Entity, Purus’a, shining like sun, beyond
darkness, by knowing that, the death also ends, there is no other way. O The Controller of
the Universe, how much illusive game, liila’, do You know, I observe with astonishment.
You are the protector, attracting in hundreds of ways, my deceptive actions do not work.
When the sun smiles in the eastern sky, the accumulated darkness of the night is
destroyed. With fragrance of the winter shefa’lii flower, the pollens of tall grass
shine. Breathlessly I am absorbed in Your feetdust. When the sun sets in the western
horizon, in my mind the redness appears. The bee comes to flowers with sweet hope, and
then with exhalation, in the evening I call.

O Lord, coming close, You had whispered into my ears, as if that You would come during the
spring, during the month of new leaves. It appears that sitting in the balcony, by the
side of the path, You would sit and wait for me. This spring time the buzzing of the bees
would come. The peacock and cuckoo would sing in a new melody. Who is that creator
skilled in illusive game, who floats in the dance of love. That day has gone away much
behind, the sun, the moon and the stars have forgotten that. That melody even today, in
the mental temple, vibrates the firmament of my mind.

O Lord, having come close, You move away, what is this illusive game, liila’? Even
without getting acquainted, by hiding, You play the game of hide and seek. When I think
that I found You this time, the world, my life and mind become one. The ego tells that the
penance is fruitful, and the shell is thrown into the shore of the sea. When I call You
full of sweetness, the, O Dear, Ocean, You see me. I have nothing more in this world.
Coming close, You tell that I am not alone.

Krsna went to Mathura and forgot Vrnda’van. He forgot the cowmaids, the garden and
the cows. Forgetting the ma’dhavii arbor, the dust particles of the VrajaLand swings.
The river Yamuna’ flows tears with love. In the garden, kadamba and ketakii cry, alas.
With sad wind the palm goes on singing. All the sweetness today is snatched by that Lord.
I could not understand Him Who had filled the heart. He has forgotten the Gokul with

O Lord, You are my all providing touchstone. Any meager, with Your touch, can obtain
pouring gold. You remove the exhaustion caused by burning heat of the sun and provide
tranquility during pain and pleasure. You satiate the mental bee and offerings at the
temple of love. You are close to the hands, in vain I roamed from countries to countries.
When I consider You away, then the six internal enemies and eight nooses, bind me.

Those arenas covered with inertial darkness are called asurya’, without any sun. Those
people who destroy their consciousness move towards such arenas. On the shore of the sea
counting sands, my days have passed. Then I observed that dense night has come. O Lord
You did not see, did not prohibit, did not break the rope of infatuation. You have given
me plenty of wealth, making my mind full of pride. You provided me energy to serve the
afflicted, but my discriminating conscience did not arise. I wandered searching You in
darkness. I do not want any shell or sand any more. If I find close the One to Whom I
belong, when that morning would come?

During the spring, with what expectation, Hari, the Lord, came into my mind? O Lord, with
what heart can I offer You my covering of sins, when You take it away ? I am not the
devotee gopii of the land of Vraja, there is no wide spread devotion. I am small, meager
wanting You secretly. In the play of colour between microcosm and Macrocosm, the unit gets
smeared with the Cosmic. I am a drop in the flow of water, today, I shall colour Your
feet.

O Lord, I went to You only to seek. Even by mistake I did not tell that I am giving You my
offering. I have been thinking about my own self centered matters and only looked for own
purification. I continued performing the japa (recitations) tapa (austerity), nya’sa
(ritualistic impressions), pra’n’aya’m (breath control) and claiming the sweet
eatable meant for offering, bow down as salutation. But within the mind, different thought
and upon the lips Your name. I did not want in heart, O the attributed Lord, come. By
blowing conch, I kindled incense and lamp. In hundreds of postures, I performed lamp
waving. With the sound of bell, I brought liveliness, but never I saw that Your altar was
empty.

endeavour for yoga inside or outside. There was no wind through the closed window, You
immediately opened them all. You opened the door bolts, and the balcony, and illuminated
the pitch dark chamber. All the relativity went away and came down the balanced thought
the restless heart today danced.

Colours appeared in the eastern sky.
The rising sun calls and tells:
“Open up your closed doors”.

What was unknown and unrecognised
became known under the rays of light.

The bird of distant sky
spread its wings
and became a close companion.

Today, every home has its doors open.
Windows cannot stop the wind from entering.
Lovebased human intellect found nectar.

My Kr’s’n’a, Shyam Ray, went to Mathura’ today morning. The cows in the pasture
are gloomy, and the flute is not sounding in the shade of niip tree. The river Yamuna’
does not flow with tide. Why the palm tree cries, who knows. The ignorant devotees
gopiis, of Vrnda’van go on searching the butter stealer, Krsna. The deer do not
lick, and the floral pollen become sad. The sky of the Vraja is dull with sorrow and so
the parrots and birds.

shells, and You were smiling at a distance. That was my first introduction which is not
written in the history. It is not marked on the banner, and is filled in the memory. You
told, “ What is the result, counting the shells, the whole life passed. The day has
ended, evening has come. the sea is immersed in darkness”.

O Lord, I love You, but whether You love me or not, I do not know. The smile of moon and
the moonlight say that You cannot come into folds by knowledge. In the scriptures Your
details are there and in various pilgrim places, Your stories are there. In the
philosophies, descriptions about You is made. Yet with them my mind is not satiated. I go
on wandering in the cycle of actions, counting stars in the dark nights. Having lost

O Lord, having loved You, my mind is charged with divinity. The microcosm attains
Macrocosmic stance, and glory has devoured the darkness. With that love and hue, in the
pollen of rainy ketakii flower the sleeping propulsive energy awakened. And my flute
smiles with resonance. You frenzied me with all providing song, by giving brilliance to
Your rhythm. With grand effulgence of consciousness, the mental firmament is illuminated.

O Lord, within darkness, You are the smiling dawn. You are consolation during tears of
sorrow. Can I be useful for Your work? Yet You do not tell, why? You have fed me with
floral honey, incomparable moon in my mental sky. You provided touch of soft sandal and
brought me on the path of sa’dhana’, the intuitional practice. You told, “ you are
never alone, I am individually and collectively absorbed with you, the wheels of my cart
revolves, do not you hear its directives?”

O Lord, You are resort of helpless, beacon in the dark ocean, ever companion of all, go on
flowing into the infinity. The crimson colour of the morning, the red hue of the evening
the concentrated darkness, all You remove within moments. What was in the past, what did
not exist, what would happen and what would not occur, which would never be imagined by
science and philosophy. With all You remain merged individually and collectively. O the
most Beautiful, You intend to dissolve all beauty. Uncalled and called openly, all are
invited. You do not accept discrimination, ever present, far reaching, You are the base of
all, merged in the collectivity, from beyond the ocean of death, You sing the song of
immortality.

O The Lord of the three arenas, You had come to my hut. You poured the fountain of
effulgence, by Your mercy. I had no trace of good quality, You know my flaws thoroughly.
This fact yet You admit and kept me at the dust of Your feet. I do not know what is inert
without life, and what is conscious, living, I am unable to understand with intellect. All
become conscious on getting mercy, that consciousness You fill.

O Dear, I love You, do not You know that. You came to this earth with the loving charm.
Why do not You look towards me? I look for You only in the crimson sun of the morning. I
adore You in the song of the spring. Holding the garland in the hand, with inclined eager
eyes, I look at the path, do not You see? I seek only You in the evening, beyond darkness
of the far horizon of the sea. All the language flow through the tears of my eyes. Do not
You understand that?

O Lord, at the sea shore, I was wandering to collect shells, but You did not prohibit me.
I cried in the night at the end of the day, even on seeing that, You ignored. There was
delusion of silver shine in the shell, and I did not exert for the pearl. At the moist
hours, with empty tray, I did not make any request. On the paths, I searched shining
tinfoil, as I could not recognise the wealth. By evening, with spreading darkness, I did
not accumulate any useful article for the path.

O Dear, in that spring month, with Your hope, with fragrance of flower, I was creating
songs, taking Your name. There was no dilemma, the obstacles were removed, with constant
will. With springy wind of the spring, the mind was frenzied with sweetness. With heavenly
pollen dust, You have filled the earth with ideation. The sand particle of life that
creates desert, leaving the coming and going over that, I offer salutation, the first
salutation of the year.

times calamities came and provided the feelings of Parama Purus’a. The fire of killing
wanted and tried to burn, yet You survived and the kept place. With new idea, create and
raise the society and country, neglecting all obstructions, fatigue and pain. Crushing the
envy of the enemy. Do not keep even trace of fear.

Whosoever comes would not stay. Nothing comes to stay permanently. Whether it is sky
kissing Himalaya mountain or the lowest anthill. All come for a few days, and get tied to
the world with twine of love. How much they cry and smile rushing behind the ma’ya’
the illusive aspect. For whatever few days I have come, I would go on doing the work
remaining absorbed in the worldly joy. Forgetting the distinction, I would declare to all
that into the singular infinity, all have to go.

O Lord, I love You. All the calls of materialism, all intoxications, all pull, I know that
they are not meant for me. The flowers that bloom today, would drop tomorrow. The garland
that smiles today with colours, would merge into dust tomorrow. When the night ends, alas
the moon fades away. Those which are loving and charming, come and at the end merge at our
feet.

The pupil of Your eyes are fixed, on this morning, into what colour? The kadamba flowers
bloom, honey came on the dry trees. By pangs of sorrows, I lie broken. It is difficult to
know and understand You, even though You are gem of my crown and dream of my eyes. I shall
not go to the forest to fetch wood, will not go home to tie my chignon. Will not dress up
and dance, whole heartedly. You have been my favourite family member, how have You been
like that?

mirage. Because You are there, the world exists and remains bound with the bondage of
love. The desire and achievement have merged. Your creation is endless.

essence. Thus I salute You again and again. As You are my polestar, I would never lose the

brothers, get up at this time of colourful morning. Do not remain slept any more, the
birds are chirping. The One, whom you wanted since childhood, He has poured causeless
grace. Throw away far the drowsiness and laziness. Smear the glow of new sun into the
mind. Forget about the agonies of the past, The night has passed and illumination has

I remembered You
looking at the black dark clouds.

I want to keep You in my meditation
by applying the dust of Vraja on my head.

That Gokul or Yamuna is not there any more.
I do not see the boy of Yashoda.
While churning the curd
the Gopiis do not remember the stealer of butter.

There are no flowers on the tama'l and niipa trees.
Neither are there herds of cows
shaking bells on their neck.

Where has the boy king of cowherds gone to?
To which Gokul?

At that time, He was as Singular, Absolute Entity, like lotus stem, no one to see or to be
seen, or exchange. The energy and observing power was also dormant in the universal
darkness. O Lord, when there was none, who knows about that day? What You thought alone
and by whose pull, You created the world? The sun and stars appeared and the sky was full
of light. The fountain of will emerged in hundreds of ways, unknowingly, towards You.
Today’s world does not think about that expressionless time. In the dense darkness
without a second, You were alone.

The events of Your melody, all the untold agonies , today You scatter in each life of the
world. The colourful songs of the spring, the resonance of the tender leaves, fill into
the garden and balcony of the core. The song that was rehearsed, the garland that was
threaded, the particles of that, let it be lost into isolated dream. The One Whom You
loved, if You do not attain Him, then in His ideation and contemplation, go on merging on

The song that you had sung, by the touch of that the earth has awakened. The melody that
you rehearsed, by the impulse of that, rhythm has come. The last shelter of alllost ones
the great repository of all attainments. Dissolution of all actions, their reactions and
agonies, by Your ideation the experience has come. You were in the past, You are present
now and You are the ray of light that is yet to come. O the basic ground of sweetness, in
Your ideation, my mind is frenzied.

O Lord, You came through light and merged in the feelings. You are the most revered and
the dearest. You reside in veins nerve endings and arteries, accept the salutations of my
each atom and molecule. O the own amidst nearest, base of all, You are ocean of mercy but
without any foundation Yourself. The materialized store of unlimited affection, You are
the Controller of the intuition, unlimited. From Cosmos to the blade of grass, is Your
liila’, the illusive game. Through feelings , individually and collectively, You perform
the play. Amidst the unity of the world, You are the sweet series of ornament. O the Most
Revered, even after knowing, I am unable to recognise You.

O Lord, I had forgotten You amidst hundreds and thousands of activities. I was engrossed
with the world, considering nonaction as action. I wanted golden chain and created house
with hides. You showed the path of liberation, breaking my fear and shyness. I did not
want liberation wholeheartedly, that was there only in prayers and songs. You opened the
door of the cage and told to fly in the firmament of the mind.

O Lord
no one knows
why this cosmic game is embedded
in creation and destruction.

I am unable to understand
why You strike thunderbolts
and again pull me close to You.

You remain in my mind and in my life.
You are in knowledge and in meditation.

In the arena of action
You swing the core of my heart
by Your coming and going.

My eyes enjoy both deep darkness and colourful light.
And yet, even by the application of the ointment of knowledge

I am unable to grasp Your beginning nor Your end.

once towards me and smear the collyrium into the eyes. You intoxicate the mind with sweet
feelings, and make me understand that You are close by. My value of survival is for Your
work. My ears listen only to Your name. Bodily and mentally, I express salutations to You

the honey of my mind in Your mind, why the mind gets coloured with Your colour? I have
come to the world due to Your will, for performing Your work under Your instructions. As
Your instrument I seek You, it is difficult to understand, why have You turned deaf.

O Lord, today scatter the love of heart and fill the entire world with joy, leaving no
trace of pain. Smear the fragrance of melody into the mind and show light to the hopeless.
So that no one is deprived. The morning has come at the end of the night. The rays from
the sun has arrived. The blessings are oozing through the glimpses, recognise those who
are lying left. Today, life occurred for moving forward. It is degrading death to remain
behind. Adore the new dawn which is scattered on the horizon.

It is not only the nectar of mind, it is more than that. Let there be victory to Bengal.
It is radiating the inspiring moonlight making even the light effulgent. I see you in the
light of dawn, and cover you with the hue of flowers. You are the psychic entity and I am
absorbed with your fragrance. I am the offspring of your affection and Bangalistan is my
motherland. You are above good and bad, full of life.

brothers, sisters, and young gentlemen, break today this prison. Forgetting Bhagirath and
Sagar, erasing Vijoy Singha and Shashaunka, dropping the brave Jayanta, whose history will
be written? What was started by ancestors, their responsibility came to you. Keep the
difficult brilliant flame of Bengalistan alive.

O Lord, You have filled the entire world, what is Your purpose with my fragrance and lamp?
You are seated on the love of my life, as eternal concentration of the consciousness. O
incomparable, unlimited, You are merged with the liila’ of new dawn, sweetness of the
floral nucleus, and the longitude of the recess of the mind. During happiness, I have
remained oblivious of You, and during pains, I say that all is Your inheritance. With the
absolute absorption of the eternal abode, You intoxicate all in the ephemeral world.

O unknown traveler
symbol of love
You have brought light on this earth.
It is difficult to recognise You.

O eternal guest
Lord of all stars
You have poured nectar on this earth.
You taught karmayoga
the yoga of action
even the pendulum swings by action.

The distinction between own and alien
is forgotten in the totality of desire for action.

The physical and psychic arenas
are sustained by the yoga of knowledge
and their darkness is removed by the light of knowledge.
Attainment of real knowledge

is the fulfillment of devotion
that You have taught us.

Today, with beauty, colour and fragrance, The Shiva is coming blowing the long horn. With

knock of mantra. That sky is enveloped with clouds, and the evidence of life is shown by
the peacock’s raised tail. Today along with that, you forget the distinction of own and

Ta’nd’ava dance your expedition starts.

Charming the sky and the nether world with Your rhythm, You filled the wealth with

The Unknown Traveler has come today with the red hue of the morning sun. Swinging the
fruits and flowers, He smiled with unfamiliar realization. All agonies moved away and
heavenly effulgence is poured. Within restless rock, lotus bloomed with the lukewarm
breeze of liberation. He pulled the distant ones close and brought into folds the Great.
That Traveler, got merged into the knowledge, thoughts and actions with the gesture of
love for the Infinite.

With the fragrance and hue of the spring, through the melody of song the memory appeared.
Within the tender leaves, with adornment of flowers, the everyoung of the horizon smiles.
Due to whose penance, this unknown has come today? The limited throat found the song of
the unlimited. In the ocean without beauty, the beautiful lotus swing, destroying the
darkness accumulated since much time. Having come, O the Dear Unknown Traveler, take the
charming one from the mind, and in exchange of limitedness, provide Cosmic, with
illumination of formlessness over the form.

O Dear, if You do not come, what for should I survive? For whose shyness, within the mind
have I kept decorated the lotus of memory? Looking at the path day and night, getting lost
without any cause, singing the song in sad tune, smearing the mental honey in the mind.
Why? Threading the garland again and again, getting oblivious of the appropriate time
tolerating the burning core of the heart, which is covered with the tears. What for?

You, as image of the infinite. You are all beginning and end filling range of the three
aspects of time, O the Embodiment of the Song. It is not possible to stay remaining
oblivious of You. You are the moonlight of the night. O the Embodiment of the sweetness
Ocean of nectar, You are smeared with consciousness of the soul.

O Lord, Your illusive game liila’, is expressed in each form. Sometimes You make one
cry, sometimes You make one smile, and sometimes You unify in the ideation. The morning
sun that pours colour, gets lost in the red picture of the evening. With intensity of the
noon sun, Your coming and going is essential. You go on pouring honey in each flower, fill
the throat of the cuckoo with chirping coos. You swing the mind in the spring, O unlimited
without beginning, of my mind.

O Lord, You came on the chariot of light, and removed the darkness. Coming on to the
crying earth, wiped out the tears. Into the worn with sorrows, hopeless broken heart, by
Your soft touch, You made forget all pains. In the cold, motionless, dead silence, You
provided expressive language with the resonance of thunder. The darkness emanated from the
inertia, the deadly poison, originating from the volcano, You evaporated. With the stick
of the ointment of knowledge, You destroyed ruthlessly the all devouring deadly poison.

O the new bride, come into this world. Come into this sweet nucleus and smile sweetly.
Come pouring the water on this dry sand. Come blooming the flower on this torn desert.
Come with crimson hue, come with great glory and soar the victory flag. Come into the
soul, come as nearest, Come into food and water, come into household tray, Come into
floral adornment, come with smiling face. Love all equally.

of silken scarf and honey of the dropped bud intoxicated with fragrance of mahul flowers?
Speak into the ears of the tender leaves, make forget the fear of catastrophe. Sing in the
melody of love, the immortal song destroying the thirst.

O Lord, showing mercy to me, You came in my meditation. I had no endeavour, no prayerful
song, I only loved You. From time to time, in order to hold You, I searched shells on the
shore. Sitting on the seat of sand, searching You, I continued counting the stars. Having
come at the end, You told me smilingly, “ I have kept you enveloped”. I had told, “
O Dear, The one into whose ears the melody of Your flute enters, for him, the pains
pride, dishonor, and sorrows of this world, are no burden”. Sitting close, looking at
me, You told, “ Keep in mind this truth”.

O Lord, You came to me, not in the floral garden, but in the mental garden. Each moment
Your sweetness is embedded in each particle. Removing the burn of the hot sun, You filled
the freshness of rain. You brought the fragrance within the shefa’lii flowers during
winter, and white clouds on the silvery face of the sky. With resonance of snowy breeze
during autumn, and pleasing warmth during cold inertial winter, during spring, You poured
honey within mind and in the garden of plum, shimul and bakul.

The Unknown traveler came, by knowing or forgetting the path? Tell me. You removed the
darkness, with the fire of love through the stick. Whatever was accumulated since ages
those who were deprived within the blind well, with collected heap of ignorance, having
come, within a moment You destroyed. The new sun rising in the east, awakens in core of
mind, Your charming image. You are beginning, middle and end, all. Your overwhelming
beauty, swings the feelings.

O Lord, after penance of the night and long wait, You came to my home. With smiling
vibration and tinkling of ankle bells, You broke the intense drowsiness. At that time
there was irresistible awareness, covering of feelings over the song of love. The mental
peacock of my mind at every moment proceeded for rendezvous of dance. O the Unseen
without blemish, of the distant heaven, under what spell You were all alone. When You have
come at the fag end of my life, stay for ever.

The bee came into my mind, soaring with the spring breeze. The tender leaves frenzied with
colour, goes on observing smilingly. Today’s gold is not insignificant. The environment
loves even the mind of the dropped buds. Today Whose sweetness churns the core of the
mind? That excellent glory swings the feelings of mind each moment, why unmindfully? For
the distant Divinity, it creates offerings of the melody.

O Lord, why did not You come in the morning, You came at the evening of my life. The
chirping of the birds ended and the birds slept in their respective nests. I continued
calling You whole day, Your memory in the mind remaining bright. Though I am poor, weak
but not deprived since I am wholeheartedly Yours. Hope after hope comes and goes. The
feelings of the mind do not get language. I am awake with night penance, expecting that
You would come to my arena.

O Lord, You did not come to my home, did not colour my mind. Did not speak, did not
understand the agony. Only through the gaps of dances, sang the song. I call You during
the day and cry during the night. Through the tears from the eyes create dam for the
feelings. You did not come into the folds, did not come close, Staying away only, You made
my life dance. I was in the grove of shiulii trees, To which alien land You remained, who
knows that? You did not understand the process, did not understand the policy. Floating in
the water of sudden flood, where do I go?

In the house made of playing cards, the king of the cards is ever affected by pain and
pleasure. There is another king engaged in divine game, but engrossed in bliss. O distant
King, come close, smile awhile with sweet look. Whether love or not, overwhelm me with the
flute. I am the king in the drama, you are the king of the unit mind. You are the origin
and desideratum of all, uninfluenced by all.

How much I move forward, there is no end of the path. Howsoever I walk, howsoever I roam
there is no end. The morning bird calls telling, “ Do not keep any gap in the life, do
not leave anything pending, complete totally”. Whatever is present today, would not be
available tomorrow, what is smiling today would go. Hence through the evening star, I
call, do not leave even trace.

I have floated the boat of song, towards the arena of moon in the distant sky. I have
forgotten the good and the bad, and tore the serpentine bondage. O my companion of
prolonged night, crimson glow of long day, indigo shine of the mountain peak, You are
merged with heart and soul. You are there and I am also there, side by side, close by
close. Merged from beginning to end and the middle, with diverse colours and numerous
forms.

O Lord, I love You, why, I do not know. And I do not want to know. Through armlet
chignon, anklet and mirror, it is difficult to forget You. Through light of the day
darkness of the night, the ruby of the darkness, hides with impulse. The mind rushes, does
not look into home, by delusion of liila’. Dance within my microcosm, with adornment of
atoms and molecules, in all small and big actions, with incomparable uniqueness.

Whatever I consider as my accumulation, make that as Your own. O my companion since time

preservation & destruction reside in Him.

Only the supreme one who bestowed on us
this immortal name
knows the secret origin of this evernew universe.

On this dusty earth
constantly listen to His song.

He remains in the world of immortality
and from there He breaks all attachments
of this non lasting universe
and teaches the ego to surrender.

He is the supreme receptacle of all receptacles.
He is the most charming
and ultimate refuge of my mind.

O Lord, in exchange of everything, take me, accept me. I have coloured the mind with the
hue of feelings, tell me what else You want. The sun has set. The eastern sky sketches its
image. Those knowing or not knowing that I am all, look to me. The garland that is held in
the neck, that is not lost even after withering. It is filled as fragrance within the
microcosm, why do You forget that?

Which unknown traveler
has coloured and intoxicated my mind?

Who was He who momentarily shook the infinite?
That sweet pleasing smile of His destroyed all troubles

the six internal enemies (ripu)
and the eight bondages (pa'sha).

Which divinity has come
to fill encouragement into hopelessness?

Even today, I go on searching Him.
Yet, I do not find the infinite within limitations.

He is not found in bondages nor in cries.
Where and why does He kept himself hidden?

O Lord, within my life, within my garden, You came secretly. I could not recognise the
hue, could not understand the form, I was in motionless inertia. The stars have been
singing the song of the infinite, but on that message, I never paid any attention. I did
not find any life in the distant sound, and went on searching the nearer voice. The
distant viin’a You played in my heart, that resonated inside from time to time. I found
You in the creation, sustenance and dissolution, inside and outside me.

Please tell me
O Lord of Goloka
whose good fortune brought You to Gokula?

You were formless but came
and, with brisk dexterity
created the world of forms.
I wonder whose austere endeavour made this possible.

From the three worlds
You brought the melody of flute
and played it on earth.
You were full of exquisite sweetness.

You are filled with nectar.
You became ecstatic in surging ideation.
From the beginning You were with me.

O the Lord of three attributes
You dance amidst Your triple actions
(creation, preservation and destruction).
You drift in the rhythm of Your blissful divine play.
You are radiant in the devotee's dhyana.

The formless, most beautiful gem has swung my mind, how can I forget that? By His memory
all sweetness is accumulated up. I see Him in the beauty of the morning, within the red
hue of the evening, He speaks about far and near, that cannot be forgotten. My existence
is His love of the core. My coming and going is following Him. My love is expressive of
Him. He makes me frenzied.

The story of the path would never end, whatsoever is told. There is no beginning, no end

Some are enveloped in dark clouds.
Some are enveloped in a dark cloud.
Some are lost in moonbeams.
Some are spoiled in the whirls of deception.

No one knows the exact way out.
No one understands the secrets of success.
No one wants to tread the path of thorns

By the blow of strong annihilating northwesterly storm, my nightqueen flower is broken.
With the morning light, tears drop from my eyes, in them there was no savories. You
provided the fragrance, filled with smile, and made eloquence. I did not do anything for
that, it remained nourished in heart and went away leaving the poor adornment, without
keeping any burden to any one. I am the companion of Your liila’, no, I am not away. For
You, my small pot is filled with nectar juice. Do not forget me, do not break me with
blows, O the essence of essence.

Do not keep me far away from You.
I am Your lyre. To make me
You used hard metal string
to see whether I can produce a good sound.

At Your touch
rocks are made
and horns express their joy
by bursting into sweet melodies.

Out of terror of You
sinners plunge into burning fire.
Prakrti (the supreme operative principle)
is subservient to You.

In the flow of kala', na'da and vindu
You manifest Yourself.

You have decorated the three worlds.
O, Lord of creation.
That is why I prostrate before You.
In You, both vidya' and avidya' are merged.

This divine sport has no beginning and no end.

I never search for my Lord in Goloka.
That is why I always strive to find You
amidst Your beauteous expressions.

You are merged in nityanitya viveka.
You are intimately associated
with the practice of Yama and Niyama.
You are the jewel of the ocean.

You produce resonance in veins and arteries.
You remain in the radiance of formlessness.
That is why I do not find You in the outer world.
You are the hidden nectar in blossoms.
Yours is a continuous movement.

Kissing your lotus feet
the peacock of my mind beseeches You
to grant me para'bhakti (supreme devotion) only.
This is the end of all desires and cravings.

Light came to my home today morning. In Your bouquet of flowers, I decorated with filling
colours. You love me, smile and cry for me. Destroy my dirt with a blow lifting me up in
the lap. I love You, and listen to Your charming flute. Tears come down through the eyes
forgetting all shyness.

O Dear I got You in my life, You got Yourself into my folds in meditation. Accept my
salutations through the songs. This is called the causeless grace. I did not have
realization of intuition, I was bound by the rope of scriptural knowledge. My mental cakor
bird moved encircling You each moment. Today I got You close and understood You with own
strength. I poured out my own “self” forgetting all the hurdles of limitations.

O Lord, I have longed for you from the depth of my heart. Will you not come to me? Every
sting of my lyre vibrates with your rhythm. How many days, nights, hours and seconds have
passed by. Even after absorbing so many teachings of scriptures, I am still unable to find
my way. Today I have realised the inner truth of life. You can be bound only by bonds of
love. The mechanical recitation of ra’gas and ra’ginis will fail to satisfy the
longings of my soul.

sometimes crying, sometimes losing myself. You are qualified by Your own attributes
sometimes with and sometimes without attributes. I am counting moments, when shall I find
my Lord, Hari.

would not look at You, would not hold Your red feet, then You soar in my mind as particle
of love.

O Lord, I sing song to You, but do not know whether You listen to that or not.
Whether my playing of viina also goes in vain, I do not know. The flowers are there, honey

whether You see that or not. There is colourful sky and sandal breeze too. The ketakii
fragrance goes on floating I cannot think whether You love or not.

hope. Both great space and the cloudy sky, I have accepted in my life.

The ray of hope after darkness as colour in the eastern sky appears. O the earth and
heaven do not remain asleep as the humanity goes on calling. Let nobody be left lying down
and remain with tarnished face due to disappointment. The repentance of dark spot should
not be left, the red hue arises. Let the owl and monsters of darkness go out with fear and
panic. There is no scope for adversity, the dearest of own, the Ta’raka Brahma has
come.

O Lord, do not remain confined, bound, and do not become deaf. The humanity goes on
calling. Do not be left behind on the path of effulgence producing liveliness. How many
nights have passed in sleep, how many days have gone in wandering? How many eras have
remained accumulated without activity in laziness and degradation. Today look at the new
glow on that horizon, with hundreds of throats start singing, new inspiration has arisen.

through the smiles and the tears
each moment is full of passion.
Don’t ever forget me – this is my humble request.
My place is amidst the dust of Your feet.

Each moment is full of passion.

The summer heat burns and scorches
but Your touch is like soothing sandalwood on a desert wind.
In the deliciously sweet spring month of Chaitra

Tender leaves smile, colourfully intoxicated.

Always the canvas of my memory reflects that special time
and Your endless, immortal song.

Each moment is full of passion.

O Lord
I have been thinking of You
considering You far away
and never looked close by.

You filled me with melody
but I did not know that You loved me.
You were there and I was also there.
You were honey and I a flower.

Engrossed in matter
I could not understand my real self.
You made me know that I am Yours.
Now, searching my real self within my mind
I know it to be closest.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I always thought You were far away,
I never considered You close.
You filled me with songs
but I never knew You loved me.

I always thought You were far away,
I never considered You close.

You and I have been like the honey and the flower.
My thoughts were crude,
I didn’t understand who I really was.
You made me realise that I belong to You.
Searching for the Self within
I see He is even closer than I believed.

I always thought You were far away,
I never considered You close.

The early morning sun says:

Stop sleeping!

A heap of work rises before You.
Shake off Your dullness
put aside Your daydreaming.
The world is weeping – take a look at it for once.

How many years have You been caught up in sleeping
dreaming the night away?
The eyes of the oppressed are flowing with tears –
Remove the weight of their burden!

The day is not far off
when crimson light will shine
and birds will sing it from the mountain top:
“liberation is coming for all.“

My mind was wandering that day in the garden
until You caught my attention.
The earth flowed with heavenly nectar
and You filled it with songs.

My heart was full of hopes of achieving
as I listened, thought deeply
and pondered the meaning of things.

But awareness came through the ringing of anklebells
and I entered my ista in meditation
it was the fulfilment of all my aspirations.

Upon Your graceful and undeserved arrival
only one language could be uttered.
In the holy place, I sank into deep meditation.

The buds on the garden rose bushes
are giving rise to beautiful blooms.
Falling to earth now
is the plundering ammunition of the demons.

Palaces crumble to dust.
Foundations of the world lie uncovered.
Suspicions are laid bare.

Embellished words prove to be hollow speech.
The innermost cries, the choked throats
remain secreted behind locked doors.
Millions of human lives have been wasted
on that materialistic theory
but it is now returning to dust.

The buds on the garden rose bushes
are giving rise to beautiful blooms.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The buds in the thorn bush
are flowering into roses.
The bullets and missiles of the demons
are falling on the ground.

Mansions built on sand
have crumbled to dust.
The high-sounding slogans
tutored to the people
and clothed in grand phrases
are all empty lies.

People have cried inwardly
suppressing their agony.
They have been kept confined in a closed room.
The theory which has taken heavy toll of millions of lives
is being dashed to the ground.

In the eastern light of the rising sun
dear one, waiting for You
I embroidered my melody.

But You didn’t come, I wasn’t able to hear You.
And so my cries floated up to the sky.

Blossoms from April tree branches dropped
as the garden swing was set in motion.

In the severe May heat
I worried that the Young magnolia
blossoms would fall prematurely.

In the rainy season I again waited for You to come
to light the lamp of my life
I waited for the lotus and screwpine flowers
to once again smile together.

A flood of tears passed in that flow.
In the autumn shephalii garden fragrance arose.
The grey clouds appeared silver in their majesty.
But my hope was broken, that glory was lost.

And yet, today the swing continues
back and forth, amidst the tall grasses.

Whose call were You heeding when You came?
I had tremendous pain and sorrow
I was full of reproach.
I was crying continuously.

Didn’t You understand what was behind my listless suffering
the history of my oppression?

The rule of demons with their sky-high arrogance.

This rule creates a dark ignorance, an inertia, a mental perversity.
How many injustices must occur because of these bad samskaras?
It’s my mind that reaps the ugly consequences.

Whose call were You heeding when You came?

Whenever it rains, I think about You.
Amidst the fullness of the screwpine pollen.
Each moment in the kadamba garden
Your bamboo flute gives inspiration.

In the winter shepalii garden, I remember You
Among the tall grasses, smiling
Saying, beloved, I never forgot.

During the month of Chaitra
among the palash trees
the spring colors are ignited.
I see You in my mind’s eye
Complete in form and quality.

The bakul, shimul, mango buds all say:
Your sadhana will be fruitful.

Whatever exists, has Your lustre.

The sun, in its rising and setting
shares Your colourful flow.

The past I do not know, nor what will be.
I don’t spend time worrying about all these things.
I leave behind any thought other than this:

that there is only You.

You don’t come in the expression of pleasure, O Lord.
No, You come within the darkness of pain.

Daylight finds You hidden,
it’s in the darkness of night that You smile.

My hope was that I could get You
through the power of my knowledge
or intellect, or through my riches.

You corrected my mistake
and made me understand:
it‘s only through love that You can be attained.

My ego, and those mistaken philosophies –
keep the truth obscured unnecessarily.

But the liberation of intellect comes in the blink of an eye
when a tiny bit of grace is received.

You pulled those
who had fallen on the crumbling path
up onto Your chariot.

They were sleeping in darkness.
Your soft touch awakened them.

A vast web of lies held sway:
oppression and extortion
flaunting and nepotism
kowtowing to depravity.

All of this, You have broken up.

Now the sun
which ushers in the morning light
will expunge all tears.

Sin will be destroyed
and the tree of fiendishness
be cut out at the root.

You came, filling my mind
fulfilling my hopes.

By Your grace
my sojourn on earth was successful.

I hoped to bathe in the flow of Your light
to listen to rose-colored conversation
the language of life itself.

I had hoped to love the brilliance of Your love
mingling my joys and sorrows
with Your sweet lotus-like fragrance.

And my coming to earth was successful.

This world is filled with love,
this world is so colourful.
Please don’t drench it in bitterness.

Please don’t make anyone cry.

Your charming form
appears against the lamplight
and the pall of incense smoke.

Why would You upset this beauty?

Spreading affection
the sweet morning lotus blossom
releases its fragrance
and the luminous day shines.

You mustn’t turn it dark.

Here is what the evening star says with a smile:
The love of all, merges with all.
And out in space
the ketakii flower pollen floats away.

Please don’t interrupt its flow.

Your brief touch swept away all sense of inertia.
In the glow of Your light, humanity arose.

Now, between one country and another
no distinction remains.

The waste of vanity has dried up.

All scriptures and philosophies
- Koran, Purana, Veda -
yield only one God.

When the unknown traveler arrived
He made everyone his own.

He spelled out the essence of truth
the inner story of universal love.

Silent footsteps entered my night dreams,
You crept into my mind.
There was no gold strewn before Your seat
no throne prepared.

I had hoped You would come close
God of the poor
to be captured as my very own.

All my feelings, my actions
were, in each moment of the dream
brimming with confidence.

But breaking the dream
You left, and I didn’t see You again.

And now
in each vibrated moment
day and night

I try to linger in the memory of that dream.

In tune with the distant stars
the strings of my mind vibrate, singing.

You exist, Lord
and so does the world
dancing around You.

Everyone is a jewel
strung on the same necklace.

Everyone has a gem deep within.
Inside, outside - these are false considerations.

Everyone has come because of the One.
No one is an outsider
each is dear to someone.

To a good soul, all are the same.
Only minds seized by ignorance
bring error and illusion into the equation.

If You were happy in the spiritual realm
why did You oscillate between heaven and earth?

When You existed in silent isolation
what story so needed to be told
that You had to bring everyone here?

The sky-sweeping Himalayas
the deepest tranquil ocean
the North Pole
abode of white hoar-frost
the expansive desert
why did You create all these things?

There was only deep darkness before
neither hope nor despair.
Only a vacuum of love.

In the midst of that
why did You manifest colour?

To destroy the darkness accumulated over the ages
You came in the flow of light
dancing, filled with rhythm.

People had had no awareness of their existence
no one had been roused to awake.

The fundamental truth
You placed in their minds was this:
if moving, move forward.

Just like Your victory chariot
which rattles ahead
in heaven, earth, in all the realms
while You call out the constant truth:

don’t sit there crying
deep in the underworld.

Who passes by
flowing into my heart and soul?

His stream of songs dances on
toward the river of melody.

Through unknown mountain caves
amidst the glacier’s supple gesture
sometimes caressing, sometimes striking
the song flows on
not stopping for any obstacles.

Past how many people, in how many cities
built and razed in each era?

From the object of meditation
it flows on into that great ocean
it rushes on toward it.

He is without end.

No matter how much I ponder
or try to remember
however many times I hold onto His feet
there seems to be no boundary around His place.

I thought the answer would come easily.
I would extend my life’s breath everywhere
with intellect I would bind Him.
I observed my mind
I removed the ritual implements.

And when He finally came close
I found that I am not really there.
Only He is.

In a dream, I watched You enter my room.

My little house, previously enveloped in darkness
now floated in a lake of light.

Any distinction of ‘mine’ and ‘not mine’
was lost as my one-stringed lyre blissfully sang out a single tune.

My heart that night was full.
At the touch of light
a lotus blossomed
becoming vaster and purer
its fragrance driven upwards
spreading across the three worlds.

Today the very embodiment of sound (Shiva)
is dancing Tandava.

Atoms dance around the shining ankle bells of His feet.
His dambaru – double-sided drum - rings out.

His face is grave, casting a stern glance.
His serpent gem quivers across the strata.
Gods and demons bend their knee to Him.

The dance of sins will not go on!
The pious will no longer be terror-stricken.
The civil, gentle people will be at peace.
Fire will afflict those who do evil.

in every human mind.
Youthful passion was sparked
in every corner of the earth.

The pale sun turned lustrous
the horizon colourful.
Honey flowed into flowerbuds
and sleeping humanity awakened.

For ages suffocating darkness was everywhere.
The spark of life’s match kindled a new vitality.
Annihilating intimidation disappeared from memory
and the earth was dressed in new raiment.

There were those who had no one to listen to them
no one to hold them close.

You came to listen
pulling up a seat among them.

Days and nights dragged on
with people dying of starvation
gasping for breath
seized by the agony of disease.

You spoke up for them.
They were mute due to their ignorance,
they had no shelter on rainy nights
and were weighed down by poverty.
You said, "PROUT exists for all."

Then I wake with the morning sun
captivated by the chirping of the birds.
Your eternal love remains with all.

but never thought about where
my own responsibility lies.

Today I want You, Lord

My turn to give begins now.

You came.

During the sleep of early winter
You arrived while the grasslands were wet with dew.
In the spring, my life became sweet again.

Listen, listen, listen, my distant friend
listen to me.

You seem to know me well,
why not identify Yourself?
In the morning light You know me.

I’ll remember this throughout the day and into the night.
You keep me always under Your observation.

This truth I know.

How can You be so close and yet so far away?
I orbit around You.
I laugh, cry and sing for You.
Pull me closer.

You love the world.
Just as dawn’s light dispels the gloom
Your affection destroys the darkness.

In the desert where flowers do not bloom
vines don’t swing
and there are no buds on the tree
there the moonlight’s radiance shines.

The stone where no grass grows
the water where no lotus floats
the auspicious occasion
where we do not hear the low sweet murmuring
there also You smile with a surge of emotion.

My inner peacock soars into the great beyond
piercing the starscape
breaking past meteors and planets and nebula
longing for infinity.

Past the samskaras that bind
blocking the path in the lazy darkness.

Everyone asked:
"my dear one
to which unknown place are You going?"

There will be no more exploitation
no attachment to high birth and fame.

This peacock gives no importance to wealth and honour.
Moving ahead without pause

it never looks back.

You are the touchstone
and You surround everyone.
At Your touch of golden fire
my mind goes sailing into the slipstream.

Within my inner grape arbor
groups of humming bumblebees
hover over the blossoming buds.

You are the best of the best
sharing Your light.
You can wake the dead, Lord
pouring Your nectar.

Those who are already living
cry and laugh and love
receiving Your sweetness.

O Lord, my eyes always search for You.
They are thirsty to get You.

In the forests of Vrinda’vana
within the minds of Vraja-dwellers
in the dark waters of the Yamuna’ river
only one enchanting Mohan resides.

The cows wander in search of You
the flute calls expecting You,
the cuckoo cries shamefully,
without the moon
there is darkness.

Victory to You, Lord
in heaven, earth, and the underworld.

Throughout everlasting time
the sound of Your victory will reverberate.
Those who are drunk on power are the slaves of vanity.
The bondage of materialism has made them lose their conscience,
they will ultimately mingle with the dust of the earth.

Even during sunrise
there are those who follow darkness
the companions of [avidya?].
They are slaves of the demon’s black hand
and will be scattered by his hateful kicks.

A flock of swans soars into the sky.
Who knows to which land they’re flying?
Who knows from where they come
where they go
and which heaven pulls them?

There are mountains in the north
mountains in the south
and deserts like Gobi and Sahara
where in winter the trees are bare
places that are unknown.

Beyond the ocean
in the eyes of which faraway friend
does their colourful image appear?

Day and night even in perfect darkness
they spread their wings to the heavens.

I love You.

One clamourous rainy night under dark cloud cover
I was alone in my little hut in the bamboo grove
and heard the peacock’s call.

Startled, I froze with fear.
Lightning flashed again and again
as my body and mind trembled.
I forget what happened next
because I lost myself in You.

The thunder roared
bringing on more violent trembling.
But I didn’t forget You.
After all, it’s by Your will
that I came to the earth.

Having lost His way
Madhava entered my sweet bower.

At this, flutes played and the dust of Vraja stirred,
the Yamuna river overflowed its banks.

The niip flower buds trembled with excitement.
The khainjarii bird (dancing nightingale) frolicked in joy.
A cage was broken open

and my mind flew out and up
spreading its wings into the blue sky.

The cow-maids churned their milk,
popinjays all in a row conferred
resuming their chattering.

The residents of Vraja brought out sandalwood paste
and decorated their foreheads.

You know all my secrets.
Anguish following pain,
please don’t give me any more of that.

Along the pin-decorated path
Your chariot bore You away
without a glance toward me.

But You did accept my humble bow.
I selected a lotus filled with fragrant pollen
and mixed it with my tears
asking only that You look my way.

Evening came - a deepening darkness -
my flowers now bedraggled
the petals withering.
But You are still my beloved.

When You came
I was asleep, insensate.

You began playing the viina
and I awoke to its faint lingering notes.

I’d been caught up in sleeping age after age
under the dark influence of samskaras.

Now I awakened in my room
and heard the sound of Your ankle bells
the buzzing of bees
the roar of the ocean.

And then the vibration sound of the Cosmos
the sound of new life.

This winter evening
as the light sparkled

You came close and sang to me
and smiled softly,
I didn’t see this because I was shy.

My pride was piled up,
age after age I had called You
hundreds of times.
But You didn’t respond
as You were busy with work.

And so, pain rang out in my heart.
This evening was an exception.
You remembered this poor one.
In the moonlight
like the best lotus
You left Your work behind.

The darkness is over, the Unknown Traveler came, Who is Everyoung. Today’s new sun
kindled eternal light. There was darkness over darkness, and further dense darkness, the
sight did not go further. You removed all, filled with moonlight, that traveler was so
skilled. The human beings were helpless, did not know towards whom to go, what does it
want to attain. He removed the agony, filled with intuition, and bloomed new lotus.

O Lord, within You, innumerable worlds are located. There is nothing outside You.
Within Your vibrations and waves, I get everything. From the blade of grass up to the
creator himself, everything lies within the periphery of Your playground. You are the
shelter of all but You Yourself do not need any shelter. Sometimes at the bank of river
Yamuna’ and sometimes within core of heart, wherever and whenever I see, I find You. In
the vibration of the life, You remain individually and collectively. Within rhythm of
life, You exist as song and dance. You stay within the expression of annihilating fire and
also within isolation of thoughts. Wherever I go I find Your love.

O Lord, with Your hope, colours smile in each minds. Would You listen to my song, only
song? Within the song is dance of the mind and melody of affection. I rehearse the song
towards the end of the night, when the traces of pain of the night is present. For being
the oblivious of the pains, with sunlight, extend deliberation. I sing the song during
evening sky, loving all, that melody then floats like the ketakii pollen and fragrance.

standing at the door. How many penances of the night, how many dense dark nights, have
passed crying and calling, during demonic viciousness. O the essence of nectar, on this
morning, sing the song wholeheartedly. IIsha’n, Lord Shiva, has blown the thunderous
long horn, and bring the new sun home.

Since when is this acquaintance between You and me is there, who knows? The moon and the
cluster of stars do not know, who pulls them. I count shells considering them as pearls
seek liberation in the bondage of matter. I think of affluence in place of void ness, and
sing bear songs. Despite that You came close further. I understood that only You are there
and I am there. Thinking that You are far, I moved away from the vibration of
consciousness.

your sweet smile. I seek nothing else. You are just like chinks of light in the deep dark
night. In my joy and sorrows you are the only friend who never fails. I am never alone. I
will never be afraid of anything. The moonlight peeping through the clouds is a feast to
my eyes. The sight of your effulgence dispels all negativities. I will never stumble on my
path.

O Lord, I saw You within the core of my mind, yet I continued calling You, even though You
did not look at me. I cry, smile and continued performing work, and considering You close
I get frenzied with joy. I see You during full moon, in moonlight illuminated night. And
wanted to hold You, like the pull of the cakor bird. I see You in crimson morning, with
the brilliance of light. I wanted to understand You through the song of peacock and
cuckoo. I saw You within the core of the heart, yet I went on calling.

O Dear, if You do not come what for is this threading of garland? What for is this
decoration of altar, and rehearsing of welcome song? By listening to Your story, the mind
becomes restless. And counting each moment, I forget myself. Do not make me dance, come
and only listen to my events. The shefa’lii flower crying and crying, gets dropped to
the ground. The bakul flower, becoming restless, wants to say something, what is that?
Merciless or kind, whatever You be, keep in mind, my pain.

O the beloved Lord of gopiis, Pray, open your eyelids. I eagerly await your arrival. You
are the jewel of the deep ocean. You have created resonance deep in my heart. Vrindavan is
not the only place of your divine play. You dance in all human hearts. We all search for
you covertly or overtly. You are in the Vrindavan and Gokula of all minds. The fathomless
ocean swings under the ankle bells of your feet. I always long to have the pollens of dust
of your feet. And the flute on the lips closer and closer.

The honey bee coming, told into the ears, this spring would not come again. Leave
superfluous talk, and get immersed in action, perform intense sa’dhana’. How much time
you have passed in sleep. The mornings and evenings have gone into vain. Exactly the same
sun would not appear tomorrow. No one can stop this transformation. The sun that has
arisen today in the eastern horizon, bathe in that ray of light, Tomorrow’s work has
come today, that spring would not get lost.

For You only is the coming and going. All hopes are surround You. Taking You is my love

When You are close, with moon smiling in the sky, I have no feeling of fear. By Your
gesture and propulsion, I sing only Your song. With gentle sweet southern breeze, my mind
goes on floating towards unknown destination. With scattering of light and illumination of
love, I go on forgetting the distinction between own and alien. The song that was
finished, the flower that withered into dust, the trace of which and tune of which, I find
even today.

O Lord, today I found You with the joy of countless minds. The intense darkness of night
has gone with the touch of light of love. I was sleeping in the dense infatuation. The
drowsiness is broken with morning sun. As if someone told in prolonged voice, “ Forget
all fear and afflictions”. The Unknown Traveler has come today, blow the conch and raise
the welcome sound of joy. Forget the pain of the core this time, as He is the source of
bliss.

The new morning has come upon the eastern sky. Do not sleep any more, do not look behind.
Tear away the net of infatuation. Due to dense darkness, you are unable to see, the
desired object, surrounded by the darkness. Forget now that other would pull and self
movement is not there. The morning sun has come riding the seven coloured chariot. The
charmed world smiles with joy. Surrounded by the mud, the lotus bloomed, making the mind
frenzied, with the fragrance of the pollen.

O Lord, with confidence on Your name, I have floated away the boat of my endeavour. It
would move on oscillating with imagination day and night without succumbing to fear.
During storms, clouds and thunders, I will not shake, in dark nights. You are the object
of meditation and meditation itself. And call by hand gesture. The golden effulgence of
sunrays, and black smeared dark nights, I would move on surviving through good and bad
removing all agonies.

Those who spread thorns for others, were injured by the same thorns. They ignored morality
and worshipped crude matters. They had no affection for anyone and possessed only love for
dogma. Even with exchange of millions of lives, all went useless. The natural resistance
of sin and awareness of freedom of human mind, crushing all they moved steamroller over
that.

With smiling, vibrant lotus fragrance, fill the three world. The bad times come, the
lightning appears, and the destructive storm laughs. Under Your shelter, below Your feet
keep this devotee, O the basis of all. For those who have none, You are there. You are the
final essence of all essences. The monstrous teeth of time, cannot harm him, who gets the
wee bit of Your grace.

On the sea sore, I went to pick up shells. The load increased, mind felt unbearable and I
thew away all into the ocean water. All the days whatever actions I continued performing
in place of work, it was wasteful job. Surrounded by false transient items, I had
forgotten the truth. Today I understood, shells would not work, it is not easy to get the
pearl in the shells. In the ocean of forms, the formless conciousness, remains suppressed
under the sand.

O Lord, would not You come close? I continued calling day and night, mornings, evenings
and during afternoons, amidst the ceremonial welcome gestures of lamp, incense, and
wavering of light. Performing one prostration, I wanted numerous blessings, like victory
over enemies, accumulation of wealth, forgetting all shyness. Today I understood that at
Your door, there would be no end of the demands or desires, that is why I am offering for
You, whatever is mine.

O Lord Krsna, the charming King of Vraja, the enchanting intense sweetness, You have
remained at the root of the core. The flute of Vrnda’van, the assembly of cows, all
swing within Your mind. The flute that had charmed all in the forest of Vrnda’van, the
melody that had charmed the life of all divotees, the ankle bell that tinkled each moment
of the Eternity, can any one forget that any time? The sudden flood coming into the water
of dry river Yamuna’, the life that awakened on the land of water of the earth, the
treasure that appeared in the mental temple of all, that would remain for all the time.

O Lord
You are the object of my meditation
You are my intuitive knowledge
and You alone are my world.

I cry when losing You
and smile with Your return.
You are the essence of my life.

In the eastern horizon
I see Your crimson colour.
In the western horizon
I observe Your reddishness.

In the midsky You radiate as intense sunlight.
Your liila’, divine game, is unlimited.
At the dawn of life You are the lovely festival
at its midday You are the essence of action.

In the evening, O dear
You, with new adornments
attract and pull all closer to Yourself.

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

You are the subject of my dhya'na (meditation).
You are the source of my knowledge.
You are my everything.

I weep with longing for You.
Your image makes me smile with joy.
You are the essence of my life, my everything.

In the eastern horizon I see Your crimson dawn.
In the west horizon I see Your glory.
In the midday sun Your force is strongest.
Your game is impossible to comprehend.

In the dawn of my life.
You are my clearest one.
In my adulthood, You are the inspiration for all my actions.

In my twilight years, You reveal Your mystery to me.
Please bring me near to You.

In the absence of One, many are depressed. That One Gopa’l only is not available, The
Krsna. I searched in all forests of Vrnda’van, but did not find that prince of the
herdsman. The Yamuna’ river has become thin bodied. The earth of Vraja has lost the
charm. The buds of niip has become helpless. The smiling lotus stem in water is dried. I
do not see the peacock dancing with rhythm, The cowmaids hit their heads with their hands.
The moon in the sky of the Vraja has vanished untimely, submerging into darkness for long.

O Dear, if You came into the folds during dreams, where did You hide on awakening?
Covering with darkness after moonlight, O Moon, what an illusive game did You create? I
wanted to tell You the sorrowful events of pains, wanted to express to You about joyful
moments. The language of impulsive feelings did not come out from the throat. Is it due to
this defect, that You forgot me? O The embodiment of illusion, what is Your method, that
You become soft in a moment and hard in another? O The embodiment of Effulgence, with
luminous love, why did You remove that glow?

O Lord, victory unto You. Who is that You, the embodiment of consciousness, Who came on
this brilliant golden morning. We have been dreaming that the earth becomes full of
sweetness. No sorrow or affliction, only the flow of bliss remains. The young blood has
awakened and fear of exploitation is removed. We had thought that we would create a new
heaven, we would go on doing the work, go on singing the song, and pour articles of love.
Today that day has come, darkness is dispelled, and eastern sky is illuminated.

O My Dear, why did not You come to my home? Since births after births, I have remained
awaken for You, kindling the lamp of love, filled with ghee. Over the path of the charming
One, I continued marking the welcome decoration marks. To the mental peacoch, I trained
the skill of rhythm. I have spread the pollen of niip flowers on the door. All the
doorbolts I have opened up. The chain of sam’ka’ras I have broken away. Ignoring the
public shyness and fears, I continued calling You with impulse. Today I see that I call
with intuition.

My Benga’lii language is sweeter than the sweetest. It is language of my life. From
nerves to arteries it is merged into the blood and the core of heart. When smile came on
the lips, it brings brightness onto the eyes. Sitting in the lap, I had told, “O Mother
you destroy all pains. Due to disrespect and negligence, who makes you cry today, O
mother? With torn clothes, you are lying in the dust, who is my entire hope”

O Dear, if You do not come to my abode, what for do I look at the path, for whom should I
sing the song? Coming close, You make me aware of that. In the mental garden, I lifted
decorating flowers in hands. With the mental flowers, I threaded the garland with twine of
love. And looked upwards with sweetness absorption, why all that, explain me. O the wise
intelligent guest, You do not consider any particular date. Continue staying for ever
covering the memory. You are the Goal of all, desred in isolation, incomparable in
example

Who is that, scattering about ketakii fragrance?

The rays of hope have been extinguished.
Gopa’l, Krsna of Vraja, has hidden Himself.
Yet, even today, in the desolate garden
someone is calling.

The days of Vraja have passed.
The hearts of the devotees are empty and charmless.
The skies of Vraja have turned dull.
Gopa’l has made everyone cry.

Picking up shells at the seashore, I had forgotten the ruby and emeralds. Losing myself

During tear moist evenings, You bloom nightqueen flower. The earthen rock becomes sandal

You are sweet softest as well as hard like dried dung. I lose the direction when trying to
search You, and lose myself when trying to understand You. Even with repeated calling, I
do not get the response. I do not listen by offering my mind to that mind. The doll of
salt while trying to measure the depth of the ocean, loses itself to become the ocean
itself. By floating the pot into the ocean, I have forgotten own and alien.

the mental river Yamuna’, the waves go on dancing, towards upstream, whom You move. In
the Eternal Vrnda’van, You remain with the devotees, and keep on listening to the story
of all each moment. All thoughts and actions are confined to Your mind. You have filled
the core of the mind. O Eternal Absolute Bliss, along with Your Playful Stance, You
surround each and everything, individually and collectively, O Dear. Within each atom and
molecule, You are ever present in the world, within and beyond the time, each moment.

carrying the floral fragrance to the fragrance, that dissolved. The stream rushes towards
the sea, but does not know due to whose attraction. Which unknown distant song, keeps on
calling it day and night. He who listens to that call of love, that flute tune touches the

moment, goes to return at the arrival chance. With the impulse of the account of
achievement and deprivation, I shall not forget You, O the attracter of my mind. All the

and tides in water, though distant, float in unison. The festive flower of the new year is
given by the nightingale, like that want to obtain good luck. In my basra’ flower, there
is no thorn, in the water of tide, there is no recess, they want to stay swinging to the

Alas, counting time in Your hope, the days come and go away, O Lord. The pangs of pain and
awareness of joy, You do not understand at all what the mind wants. The light scattered by
the smile of the moon, the words that the afflicted heart wants to speak, the shower of
love that by the glow of songs, the drop is created in the ocean. You are there and this
world is there, small and great both remain. The Great is surrounded by the stone, and the
atoms dissolve in the particles.

On that cloudy night, wet with dark mark, tears were in the eyes. The pollen of ketakii
flower, at that time, floated in the moist air. The juhi flower scattering fragrance, were
calling extending the hands. The toads, full of enthusiasm, from unknown source, arose in
frenzy. The dark clouds, and black palms, got rhythm with the peacock’s call. The lotus
stem arose dancing, with gling song from the far.

I have torn the bondage, broken the chain, and move close to You. There is no backward
pull, no honor or dishonor, I spread the wings in the sky. All the heavy burden of the
earth, going further and retracting again and again, creating prison in the lazy dreams, I
am deluded with fear. I have removed all the web of infatuation, there is no skeleton of
past, With firm awareness, forgetting the consideration of time, I move on the path with
smile.

O Lord, Your story removes the pain, and the tinkling of Your ankle bell makes my heart
dance. Your beautiful form and moonlight smile, show me the path within light and dark.
You stay on the hot evening, with cool and soft adornment of the moon. You remain located
in all my actions. Your message and flute frenzies my mind. You remain within my own
“I” feeling. You decorate me with Your sweetness. You prevent me from the surrounding
inertial darkness. The glow of Your love, breaks my sleep.

Dancing with sweetness, with smile on the lips, do not remove away the hands from the
flute. Calling into ears, staying within the core, what do You want to convey, I do not
understand. The rope of my bondages have broken, the flowers have remained on the ground.
The flowers of bakul, ka’incana, pa’rul and rainjana, speak something that I do not
understand. That Charming One, Mohan took away all, silently, why I do not know. Make my
mind Your own, come into my dream with love. With resonance of love, beautify me, I do not
want anything else in the world.

O My Charming One, Mohan, O charmer of the mind, You came with southern wind in the mental
garden. You removed the agonies, announced Your ever new Divine message. I understood that
I am present in eternal Vrnda’van, amidst the loving dances and buzzings of the bees. At
the smiling call within the core of the heart by the sweet melody of the flute, what a
brilliant glow. I never want to go to the distant heaven. I want to get my charming Mohan
within the mind, the One Who remains surrounded by many associated individually and
collectively, swinging all by the charm as Unique Gem.

Please tell me
why do tears drip down
as if from dark clouds
your collyriumdecorated eyes?

Who caused you pain?
Who turned away from you?

The rains have gone far away.
Your only hope now lies in the winter dews.

Whom are those untimely tears shed for?
Who is that most desired one that did not come?

Never accept one as a friend
who fails to keep promises
who gives pain but does not apologise
who does not care to laugh in your joy
and weep in your sorrow.

O Lord, You came and spoke, but soon went away, why, I do not know. The fragrant garland
tray of colours, remains lying that You do not see. The groceries dealer going after
completion of sale and purchase, all the passersby also go away after give and take. You
came and went, did not take anything, only poured out mercy. Whosoever comes, goes, this
is the system of the world. But by that method Your love does not move. You were in the
past, You are in the present and would continue for ever, then why do You give pains?

Into the rain moist breeze, the pollen and fragrance of ketakii goes on floating. Into the
niip arbor, clusters of bees go on buzzing. Below the palm trees, series of fireflies
swing with inertia, high and low. In the bamboo grove, the peacock dances vigourously
with gesture of soft touch of clouds. The water of the Yamuna’ river flows in upward
tide, getting unmindfully frenzied at their rhythm. The sweetness of the melody of flute
produces outbursts each moment.

That day the angel came into the arena of the moon with smiles. With sweet smile and sweet
eyes, The Angel told, “I am unknown. I dwell into the kingdom of clouds, and call for
finding the moon nearby. I cover with moonlight and with darkness, I am soft and hard
both”. The angel envelops the moon, and the moonlight is due to that. The moonlight
looks at that Who is never dark.

O Lord, since morning, I have been seeking You, why did not You come the whole day? I
collected the basketful of flowers, but it could not be poured at those feet. The
fragrance of flowers, smile of the mind, have made their abode at Your feet. With creation
of songs and gesture of love, I think of You each moment. The flowers dried up, the
fragrance is lost, my well rehearsed melody has gone in vain. At the end of afternoon
evening came and now the hope is for the new sun.

O Lord, even after finding You close, recognising is difficult. Stay in my mental heavenly
garden, which does not come and go. The heat of summer and humidity of rain, by nothing I
can understand what is Your message. The sandal breeze provides softness of autumn. By
snow of the prewinter and inrtial cold of the winter, it occurs into the mind that You are
located into expression of dejection. The tender leaves of the spring, and fragrance of
the colourful flowers, goes on pouring Your honey.

Where are my golden days? They came with the morning sun onto the earth, ala’s, the noon
sun was unbearable. When the afternoon came, dullness spread, and within the golden cage
inactivity came down. The hope turned into hopelessness, and quaver terminated. The
imagination went soaring into the sky. The evening intensified, the colourful fire
distinguished. The evening venus star exhausted by crying. Then I looked at the eastern
sky, if it appears in the mind now, the events of those golden days.

Kindling the torch, I move alone, looking for my Dear, Who did not come. I Wanted to bind
Him to my eyes, but could not open the eyes. Sitting and meditating upon Him, I did not
want Him but boon from Him. Not wanting the definite, I wanted indefinite, and thus the
desire was not fulfilled. I thought while lifting the altar seat, all went waste without
devotion. Like pearl in the shell, I asked, would You not grant me para’bhakti, absolute
devotion.

The era of darkness is about to end.
Light falls after pain.

O Lord, this world is full of Your illumination, You are the store of effulgence. Because
You are there, this world exists. You poured the initial light of life into the eyes, by
that light, I saw the new world. By applying the ointment of the light into the eyes, You
removed the ignorance, and I understood that You are immortal never decaying. All want to
get the light of intuition, within that light everything is there, there is nothing that
is not there. O greater than the greatest, bowing before You, I have only one request to
You, merge me into that effulgence.

casket. Even today that is shining and fragrant with pollen, and mixed individually and
collectively. That new message of Yours goes on making new creations. With Your ideation
and Your melody, all deficiencies are removed. And appears in vibration of life. That
message, those absolute intuitive worlds like mine of diamond, by the illumination of
love, that VAEDÚRYAMAŃI can be obtained. Everything comes and goes, but that gem is is
not lost. Under that illumination, I am sitting in meditative posture.

rains as well as soft mornings of the autumn. During dews of pre winter and during snow of
winter. And in the soft breeze at the end of cold inertia. Within spring with decoration

alone, I think that I stay within a mirage. Whether You hear it or not, You come and
explain, after that wherever You want, You may go. Keep a mark of sweet smile, over the
decoration upon the altar of memory.

When I started calling, then the sky was colourful. The sky was colourfully decorated as
colourful tray with cluster of stars. Then, You were at distance, but now became close.
Between the space of near and far, fragrance of ca’mpa’ flower was filled. I did not
imagine that I would get You, thought that You would never be my own. Today I see that my
own “I” feeling is hidden within You.

In my garden, flowers have bloomed, where are You O the garland maker? For whom the
colours have appeared and fragrance floats, in whose mind does He dwell? The lotus and
lilly pour out fragrance, within the mud, kindling the golden lamp, through the sandal
avenues, with moon on the forehead, from where have You brought sandal breeze? The
sunflower remembers its dear, sun, in whose place is the darling of the devotees, gopiis?
The fragrance of ca’mpa’ and ketakii fills the air, blows heavenly fragrance.

O Lord, I have been calling You whole life, did not the call enter Your ears till today?
As if You have become stone towards my rain of tears from my eyes. I kindled lamp in
darkness to remove the mental darkness. Along with fragrance of flowers, leaving all
hopes, nonessence, I have become sheltered. With fragrance of incence, and flowers, I
shall dance with constant bliss. Smearing self praise and sweet fragrance, I have become
sheltered at Your feet.

O Lord, on the autumn morning with soft shefa’lii You had come on this path. With
smiling moon and smile on the lips, carrying bamboo flute. Day and night, I have been
looking along that marking on the path, and calling with tearful eyes,” come o Lord, and
mix individually and collectively”. The rains have gone, autumn came, the flow of flood
got lost in dews. The white clouds with tall grasses, went telling, that the Dear appears
on all the sides.

O the intense charmer of Vrajakula and Vrnda’van, come again to Gokula. Bring the flood
of awareness and and raise the tunes in the core, and stay within the temples of divotees.
The flute that paused in distant past, the cows that were crying in isolated groups, the
Young Krsna Who had forgotten the butter of the cowmaids, awaken them up floating on
the banks of river Yamuna’. No one talks about the history of niip and tama’l trees.
No one understands the pains of the children of Vraja. No one touches the core of heart of
the cowmaids, without You, all remaing but non existent on the earth.

O my Friend, stop sleeping and get up. The morning birds have started chirping, in the
mental garden. The golden light has touched the life, with sunlight in the eastern sky.
Leaving drowsiness, in the floral garden, I search the mental flower. Wandering amidst
many colourful flowers, the life is wasted. That flower of consciousness have whithered
away by the tree of ego.

O Lord, since ages, I have been awake looking to Your arrival path. If You do not come
what for is this life? The stars glow as cluster of lamps, My time terminates, with
decoration of fragrancetray and shefa’lii flowers. Full of love, I thread and open the
garland of flowers. I think, the One whom everyone remembers, why does He remain far
outside.

For the toch of the charmer, my mind rushes towards Him. The inertial bondages of matter
and ornament of shyness, leaving all, it wants to attain Him. The flower that was full of
beautiful decoration, the flower that wanted gesture of love, the flower that I wanted to
offer to You, the absence of that creates feelings. The feelings that were filled in
single life, that were emanated in the universal song. In the meditation of the microcosm
for the Macrocosm, the attributes get dissolved in the Nirgun’a, void without
attributes.

O Lord, I did not want to know, I did not want to understand, but You made me know that
and understand that. I did not want You, but You wanted, with what upsurge of feelings You
are intoxicated. I was thinking that I knew much, and I did not want any teaching of
wisdom, I did not want intuitional practice, or any command. But You broke my mistake and
pulled me onto the path. The morning light that broke my sleep, I never liked, that light
would destroy all my darkness, bringing that message You came.

my mental honeybee hovers over the pollen. With hearing, meditating and upsurge of

O Lord, You have scattered Your sweetness on flowers, fruits and creepers as well as in
secluded human mind. You radiated that to all the living and nonlivings in the world, and
all love of hearts. Your sweetness floats in the air, in hot sunny evenings with fragrance
of bela’ flower, in the pollen of juhi flowers, in the petals of ca’mpa’ flowers
and in charming fragrance of ketakii flower. O the Beautiful, the sound of Your ankle bell
tinkles in the arteries and veins. With sound of Your flute, cooing of cuckoo and
peacock’s calls, You go on attracting the world.

In the blue sky, the stars smile, with the hope of the Unknown Traveler. The nebula
appears at distance, with upsurge of heart, and the milky way is close to Your path.
Sitting amidst the infinite, I go on counting the limited, and not finding Him, at the end
I want to forget myself. In the effort of attaining Him, with infinite restlessness, the
fatigued heart swings. Holding on the infinite path, I have come much far, rejecting the
reactive momentas and holding the feet again and again. Not looking behind, only seeking
forward, with impulse, and appearance of the effulgence.

O Lord, You came into my heart with charming adornment, there is no limit of Your mercy.
With colourful eastern sky, under crimson illumination, in this blissful form, I lose
myself. This ideation I shall not forget, this bliss, I shall not overlook. I always think
in the mind, what an image of consciousness. Whom do I find within myself. Forgetting the
awareness of date and time, I go on dancing with the tinkling of the ankle bell. Rejecting
the close things away and lifting the distant one to the chin, whatever my mind wishes
that I want.

You went away
rejecting and forcing me to stay in the dust
discarding like a withered and dropped flower.

I was on the altar

day and night.
I have fallen down soiled in the dust.

I had You in my life and in my mind
and with me, You will forever remain.

O ocean of infinite qualities.
I do not want anything from You.
Even should You give me something
I will not take it.
Only one desire have I got:
that You continue smiling in my meditation.

Into Your ears, I silently whisper my sole prayer:

Into the depth of my mind, the Unknown Traveler came. He filled my inside and outside and
made me aware of my real self. He came into my life and mind, came into my ego and in
meditation. He turned my movement towards Himself and removed the inertial bondage of
matter. In my garden He bloomed the flower, into my flowers, He poured fragrance. With His
melody of flute, He coloured me. That Charmer has become mine today.

O Friend, at the time of this separation, do not forget me. With those flowing tearful
eyes do not see. You have been with me together for a long time. I continued working
together with hand over hand. I have laughed and cried with pleasure and pain, do not wipe
that memory. Now I am moving at the distant call, with light and shade, through the gaps
of the clouds. Sometimes straight, sometimes curved and inclined, that no one knows.

O Lord, due to love, I have lost all. You remained my King in past and present. All my
material wealth and receptacle of feelings, You took away. In my garden all the flowers
that bloomed, they oscillate on the swing of Your garland. All that I considered mine, was
error, as You have pervaded everything. O my Unseen Spotless, during my night, You have
brought morning. Within flowers, You have threaded the twine of love, that flower goes on
smiling.

O Lord, into the depth of my mind, I have sketched Your image, do not You know that fact.
Into Your ideation, I have given You all mine, do not You think of that during Your
leisure hours? Picking up flowers in my garden, do not You see that I am pollen dust of
flower in Your universal song of call? There is no harm if You forget me, as You pervade
all my awareness. You have created me as mental form of Yours, pouring colours silently
without my knowledge. You smeared fragrance with Your incence, that is why I never forget
You.

In which procedure should I greet You?
By which song and when

and in what posture am I to visualise You?

You are the object of my meditation.
You are my dearest one.
You are the supreme benevolence.
You are the essence of all knowable essences

O Lord, I wanted You in the floral garden, with colourful decoration of flowers. You do
not come, do not listen to me, why I do not know. You were guest at the festival in my
home, series of illuminations were day and night. You were also most respectfully invited.
But You did not come, came now within my sorrows. When the days in my life were vibrant, I
was dancing singing and playing heartfelt music, in diverse tunes melodies and rhythms
for Your listening, at my home. Then You did not come and came when I fell like a
whithered flower below the dust.

Into the dark eyes and black pupil, who is that liberal person, who has rained tears? Whom
you do not know, whom you do not understand, then for reason do you love Him? He remains
surrounding day and night, and mixed in all feelings. Kindling lamp day and night, to
destroy darkness, He does not let into folds, what a style? On calling He comes close, and
fulfills the empty heart. He fills hope in the hopeless life, O the beautifuleyed, think
of Him each moment. Do not lose patience now.

O Lord, in the stream of effulgence, You go on floating from beginninglessness to unknown.
The flow of creation goes on dancing, revolving, within that, swinging with Your liila’
the illusion. What a will, what a wish? Is it within limits of time, is it accidental
selfwill? Is it natural, is it as desired, explain to me by Your causeless mercy. The
month and seasons pass in moments and periods, none stops in this world. He who comes
goes, in the stream of the Great. In this style the Controller is located.

While resting, in dream, in sleep and while awake -
day and night, I have remembered You.

Never did I think, nor ever could I think
You would ever remain unknown.
You are the eternal companion of heaven and earth.
Your sweet smile removes all pain and affliction.
The sweet sound of Your flute pierces deep into the core of the earth
and sets a mute lyre into vibration.

With the superb skill of cosmic intuition,
and with the sweetness emanating from Your flute,
You eternally drift along the crests and troughs of waves of Your melody.
Into You, all have merged.

To You, the entire creation is subservient.
The cosmic sound ‘Pranava’ is the sound of Your ankle bell.

O Lord, Your sweet smile enters into the core of the heart. The effulgent moonlight brings
heavenly flood. With unblinking eyes, I see covering with sweet love. Smeared with
fragrance of nectar, my God has come. What I wanted, what I did not want, and what I could
not imagine any time. What I could not forget during meditation and contemplation, that
too You understood and liberally provided all articles. Today my birth has become
meaningful, and sorrows have ended. You poured effulgence inside and outside of me.
Provided the beacon of the path, There is no limitation for You, no comparison, no
example. By Your causeless grace, You made all bathe in the water of liberation.

pouring articles of love. Adorable for all, own of everyone, worth worshipping by all, You
are the Divinity of this world. There is no comparison of You in land, water or sky. I do
not find any example in mind under meditation. You are resort of helpless continuous
constant glow. You are combination of energy, knowledge and devotion. Within the blue
water of river Yamuna’, below the palm tree, in buds of niip, in the adornment of king
of herdsman, in everything You pervade, at each level of creation. In Your mortal illusive
game, liila’, there is no flaw.

smile that was filled in the minds of the devotees, they have not decayed till today. In

Your touch. By Your glance, in Your creation, through Your flute, the mind is satiated. I
am a dust particle of Your feet. I am unable to see beyond myself. I am unable to cross my
own limitations. I am surviving in meditation, with hope of attaining You. In the garden
You are the fragrance of flower, within floral pollen, essence of honey, with fragrance
You fill sky and air. The stag does not know that where is the musk.

utensils. For me the worth serving is God, in form of human beings, the living humans in
flesh and blood. They as Your transcedental form are worth worship for me. By their
service, Your worship is meaningful.

accept one advice of mine, why have You brought the movement of light, my destiny was in
inertial stillness”. The golden angel told smilingly, “ I soar with love, from stars
to stars, arenas after arenas, clouds after clouds, floating the song of love”.

O Lord, during this festivity of light, why have You remained far, You come quickly, You
come quickly. In Your absence, there is nothing today. Come oozing honey. The crimson
light has become dull, because You are not present. On this soft earth, there is no drop
of water. All look for merciful look. Come scattering pearls. Even if everything is
present, in essence there is nothing. The mind says, other than You, I do not get
anything. During dance, I lose the rhythm and beats, the smile and gesture is full of
tears.

O Lord, searching You, my whole life has passed. Why do not You understand my pain? My
eyes are looking at Your arrival path, and ears listen about You. How many days, dates and
starperiods have passed, how many stars have dropped off. The southern ocean have moved
away far. How much agonies were brought by hundreds of messages. How much floral nectar
have dried up. How many butterflies have burnt theie wings, how much snow have melted from
the mountains, how many leaves dropped due to cold.

O Lord, You smile with great effulgence, while I glow the lamp like a firefly. You pervade
the earth and heaven, while I stay within boundary. There can be no comparison between You
and me. A drop cannot be recognised in the ocean. Infinite knowledge cannot be measured
that is why I lose myself within You. In the vast arena, I am an atom. A dust particle in
Your lotus feet. You play flute to make me dance, that I have understood on this
auspicious day.

O Lord, Your shine smiles in sky and air, yet You remain unknown. In each firmament of
mind, cries appear, as You go on playing hide and seek. On getting Your touch, atoms and
molecules glowed, the seetness of mind came out, and the thirst of infinite You satiate. O
Ever Beautiful, You go on dancing within creation, sustenance and dissolution, You never
disrespect any one, and remin adorned Everluminous.

O Lord, You came filling the shine of the new, showing mercy over me. In the eastern
horizon, a new hundred petal lotus has bloomed. The flowers of bela’, juhi and camelii
told me, “ Your God has come through the light, all wills have taken form in the
lifeless stem of the human mind. I do not want anything more from You, You fulfilled my
own “I” ness. O the full owner and controller of the seven arenas, You removed all my
meanness.

The smile of the lips, pours abundant moonlight, the nectar emanating flute charms the
mind. The love, oozing honey, over the moon, cakor bird and on flowers, goes on soaring in
the sky. The light that was filled in the mind of the Great, that You scattered in each
microcosm. In the world, in heaven and in the whole cosmos, that light, along with shade
shows the path. It is difficult to call You merciless, so much affection who would find
anywhere? In creation, sustenance and dissolution, in pains and pleasures, the glow of
Your gem swings the directions.

The victory garland given by You
is full of thorns in each flower,
causing burning, piercing pain.

Whatever You give with Your right hand,
You take back with Your left hand.
When You intoxicate with fame and power,
You make the mind mad.

You delude by giving many toys,
and decorate with royal adornments,
You make one dance to rhythms, beats and melodies.
This illusive game of Yours,
is hard to understand.

O Lord, I go on searching You in space, land and water. But with cunningness, I am unable
to struggle any time. You know the hide and seek game well and do not heed to anything
else. In one form or the other, You go on moving, sometimes to great higheits, sometimes
deep low. In various bodies from time to time, each moment and periods, You dance in core
of heart of all, with what illusion and when, who knows that?

You please the heart, and intoxicate the mind, then why do You push with Your feet? There
is too much distance between You and me. Yet it is my deliberation and request, put an end
to my ego and pour effulgence inside and outside of me. I love You with my feelings, in
pain, pleasure, poverty or affluence. I love You in victory as well as defeat. With the
glittering gem lamp, remove all darkness.

pain, pulled close, by Your toch, I got life. I was in darkness taking my own self, You
brought me outside and showed the path. Whatever was worth recognizing, all that You made
me known. I recognised all but did not recognise You. I was loving my ignorance, that I
considered as my destiny. I never thought, where was I, and whrere did I come. Today only
I understood that I am within You.

eyes in land, water or space. From place to place, arenas to arenas, You go on moving
carrying the bondages. I am microcosm with light bondage, Your bondage is like mountain, O

earth, got illumination, the chirping voice came into throat. How were You living alone?
When initially You spoke something? In whose mind did You arouse affection? Who is that
whom You loved? Looking for You, philosophy came, and came hearing, meditation and
contemplation. When all these came, who is that who sat in meditation initially?

O Lord, if You do not come, do not break the slumber, then this human life of mine is
useless. Like cluster of grass, flat wood or stone, the mind does not want to remain. The
wild storm comes, and the light destroys the darkness caused by that. But my fog did not
get any festival of lamps. O luminous lamp, O unshaken niip, Extend Your silent feet to my
home. In the flow of transformation from crude to subtle, my time is getting used up. The
time does not pause, each moment it decays the life span. O the repository of mercy, O the
ocean of grace, in Your awareness, You tie me each moment.

O Lord, having given word, why did not You come? He who loves You, why have You forgotten
him? The tune of the broken viin’a’ goes on crying, that sound why did You play in my
ears? The light that extinguished in distant sky in the past, the song that is lost
ignoring date of return, that memory appears even today in the lane of the core. That
garland which You wore around Your neck, does not forget You. Moments after moments pass
and rains flow. In that Grand Time, nothing wants to stay. Is it due to that reason, that
You have forgotten me, alas? Coming close tell me that.

O the New, today I found You in my home. I was looking at the path since many ages. I
shall prudently decorate You in floral adornment and wholeheartedly colour with diverse
colours. I shall look at You with love again and again. You are for me, only for me. My
mental diamond necklace I shall place around Your neck. I shall burn the incence of
feelings. I shall keep spread the bed decorated with flowers. All the desires and
achievements, I shall remove out to far sky.

See that the lamp of hope does not get extinguished. See that due to cruel knock of the
blow of storm, this flame does not get extinguished. In the depth of the mind, I have kept
the lamp glowing, I have kept arranged carefully the wick smeared with ghee. I look
towards Your path again and again, while this sandal beeze slowly blows. My job is to
kindle the lamp to illuminate Your adornment. With gesture, sometimes You dance the lalita
and sometimes ta’nd’ava. Whatever You want, You go on performing, but do not delude me
for nothing, so that by disappointment the eyes should not shed tears.

O Lord, why do not You speak a thing, why do not You understand the pain, why have You
kept this distance, tell me without craftiness. For placing around Your neck the carefully
threaded garland, for listening to Your history, to get Your sweetness, I want to come
closer to You. I want to become Yours, get mingled with You individually and collectively
for taking the pain and giving peace, if fallen in any doubt. I want to make my mind under
Your control, doing so You make me free from bondages. I would not remain any more poor
and deprived, having found You on the shore of my life.

O Lord, the sweetness on the earth is Your heavenly gift. All these days I could not see
that neither could I estimate. The nectar that oozes out in heaven and the effulgent
arena, the rays of that floats on the earth. With light and shade the love song of the
singular entity goes on soaring. O my Unseen, Spotless, pull further close the owns.
Removing the ego of the microcosm, in life, fill the Great Liveforce.

surrounding You. The search for You based on scriptures would be fruitful only with deep
meditation with love. I am the minutest atom of the atoms, molecules and particles. For me
You play flute day and night, what for, who knows?

imperfection anywhere, no gap. Even after searching, I do not find any defect in poetical
meter. You always provide means for the fulfillment of purpose. With flute, You call the
gopika’s, the devotees, close. In the leaves and flowers, You mark the line of love. You
make green the young grass and corns. You fill nectar in the seedvessel in the nucleus of
flowers. You have brought all what I wanted or not.

whithering of rose. Many curiosities are accumulated layer by layer, tell me the answers

O Lord, You came and the colour You poured, the beginning and end of which, I am unable to
get. The light that You kindled, the love that You scattered, has no comparison in the
three worlds. The heavenly blessings You brought with You, You poured the articles of love
over the world, step by step, You provided instruction for survival, so that no one would
tell any time that something more would be needed. You have remained individually and
collectively associated in this life and beyond. I know and understand that the fine
subtle movement of dharma towards the desideratum, would tear apart the net of
ma’ya’.

O Lord, I think of You and love You in exchange of everything. I continued calling You
day and night, without any consideration of time. The cloud says, “ that dear of yours
it occurs in the mind, would not come any more”. The rain told, “there is hope this
time, as you are surrendered to that embodiment of consciousness”. I told,”I shall
continue to remember Him, His illusive ankle bell sound tinkles in the darkness. I shall
continue doing work for His love and sing song for that Embodiment of song”.

away far. In the rainresonant night, with fall of meteors and lightning, Your glory would
keep all surrounded. All would understand the fact that You are present, were present in
the past and would remain in future, the hope of rain would intoxicate all with nectar.
Keep this fact in the mind, do not give me pain unnecessarily. You would remain taking me

O Lord, the world was alone full of grief, in Your absence. The illumination became black
under influence of inertial darkness. There was moon in the sky that is covered with
cloud. There were flowers in the garden but without fragrance. The cuckoo and peacock on
the branches of the tree forgot calling and cooing. They flow tears in isolation. The
casket of my mind, remain vacant. The matted hair of Du’rjat’I, Lord Shiva, was dry.
The crimson light of dawn was covered with fog. You came and awakened life in the earth.

within the bamboo grove, the generate within the lane. The garland is filled with honey
the juhi flower stands at the door. The parrots are with unknown tunes, and the

Is it that the God in form has appeared in the ocean of forms again? The great space was
silent, and in the strings of viin’a’, life has arisen. The darkness was sown, the
layers of cosmos were asleep. In the base of intuition, that Great Entity was unattached
and calm. The darkness ended, the slumber of eras after eras is broken. The dumb got
expressions today, and those with ears became deaf.

O Lord of the world
You have poured forth unbound kindness.

You have provided rhythm to songs
love to meditation, and suspension to the mind.

On dark nights
You shine like a polestar.
On moonlit nights
You pour forth softness and dance
and shake the cheeks of time.

There exists nothing but You.
Even a mistuned lyre is Your expression.
On funeral pyres, You bring about life.

The fragrant pollen of ketakii floats in moist air, for Who, tell me for Whom? Who is that
Unknown Traveler, Who smiles inside and outside full of illusion. He comes with silent
feet, I do not get the sound of His arriving footsteps. On this rain resonant night, there
is no dilemma or resistance. Whenever I want to see Him, I find with unblinking eyes, full
of dance and rhythm. The knell girdle of the death, the gesture of life, why do they exist
together, I do not know the reason. I go on listening attentively, if I hear any message.
With faint presence, He makes me aware that He loves me.

O Lord, the fountain of songs goes on flowing unrestrained by time factor. Jumping over
the stones, it rushes dancing overwhelmingly, holding on to the stream of melody, towards
the ocean. It does not keep any account of time, date or years. Does not care for the
presence of day or night. There is enthusiasm and glow in life, the melting snow brings
new rhythm. O the beautiful fountain, fall, You are completely filled with immortal song.
You are sweet leaf illuminated with moonlight and sandal scent, all the people of the
world love You.

The sun appeared, the morning smiles, with illumination of new rising sun. Do not sleep
any more, do not remain confined to infatuation, remove the fog in a moment. You have
remained under slumber since ages after ages, numerous nights, days and periods. From the
inertia of agonies, with intense inertia, rise blooming in new shine. All come and go, no
one stays, leaving the body of five fundamental factors. O the beginningless and
unlimited, You go on creating the moving home in the three arenas.

On this blissful morning, through the sweet stream, Who is that You who came, O the
embodiment of sweetness. Coloring with hues, intoxicating the mind, becoming full of form
You provided flow of formlessness. Smeared with cold inertia, all buds bloomed. The
odorless flowers smiled with fragrance. Those not liked by anyone, became full of nectar.
The sky and air became embodiment of consciousness. With gesture of hands, all go on
giving the earnestness of vigor. The realization of love says, knowingly You do not know
Him. It is accepted that by power of knowledge and discrimination, no one can know Him. In
the mortal world, He is embodiment of nectar.

This intense binding knot of sin, this fort of malpractice, breaking away pulverize that.
Come, O brother come, mix up with open heart. Do not stay away any more. The demons are
ruling and exploiting, go on nourishing their own kith and kin. The wicked find unbound
joy, the helpless poor become restless. Look at the coloured sun in the east, wipe out all
the accumulated dark dirt. See that the sun does not get sunk, and the demon do not come
in dark.

Do not stay sleeping any more, wake up quickly. The afflicted humanity, goes on calling.
At the call of the new, respond. Do not remain deaf on this colourful morning. Why the
restless eyes of yours are full of tears, like the crying life on the dead cheek. The tide
on the golden sand is silent, why the earnestness of the soul is stupefied? The day that
has passed would not come again. The day left in hands should not be ignored. Thinking
who would come and who would not, do not cry any more. The realization of conviction
shines in form.

Suddenly coming, last night, that unknown traveler went away. He left the mark of coming
and going, staying in the core of heart for a moment. It was not known when He would
return. Coming and going without announcing. By touch of life, when would He break my
slumber. But He did not come even momentarily. On breaking the slumber, I saw that He had
come. With swing of love, He had oscillated. The unknown and unrecognised became known.
The untrue became true.

O Lord, I was unable to find You in places of pilgrimage, hence I attempt to get You in
songs. Through falsehood and nonreality I could not succeed, hence this time again I came
back to the path of truth. I heard that You stay high in heaven, while I remain lying in
the bottom of the netherworld. I thought, O Lord that by virtue of the worship, prayer
gifts I could attain You. I colour my mind with that of Yours, by Your wish and will, You
do not pull me close, hence I remember You.

find You anywhere. I sat in Your meditation, in a firm posture, with firm conviction and
stern face. This time I shall not leave.

O Lord, on this earth full of light, why do You bring covering of darkness? Over the
bunches of buds why do You stike icy wind? The flowers bloom in bunches, and oscillate on
the swing of the branch of the tree. By the riddle of fog, why do You destroy their life?
Chirping of birds appears from the nest, through soft and sweet feelings. Why do You push
them todeath through annihilating storm.

Forget narrowness, and open the door of the world. Down below is earth, up above, is the
sky. See these, opening the eyes. You were sleeping in closed house, keeping the doors and
windows closed with bolts. No light or air toches the head, and did not even ask to kindle
the lamp. Stuck by storm, the house broke. The dream of infatuation moved away. The night
of darkness has become morning, the sun came at the door.

O Lord, You are present for ever, in earth, heaven and spiritual world, brilliant each
moment. You remained beyond the darkness, in eternal illumination of moonlight. For You
there is nothing like own and alien. All are associated in individual and collective way.
All joyfully revolve around You at the tinkling tune of Your anklebell. Though You are
close, I think that You are away. I look outside and do not see inside. The hunger
afflicted cry for food, keeping the gem, tied to his own scarf.

O Lord, meditating on You, in sleep and wakeful state, my days pass without any pause. In
the resonance of vitality, in golden dream, colours go on soaring, without speaking a
thing. How many times did I come, I have forgotten. How many houses I built, I have no
account. The cremation places and birth rooms have dissolved into one. The end of the
movement path, I am unable to search and endless song of movement I sing in the mind. Thus
I forget the difference between close and far. You are there and I am there, both become
singular.

All brothers, move forward, today time has come. The power of sin would be defeated, and
rule of wickedness would move away. The clattering sound of swords would stop. The thunder
of the sinners would not remain. The roars of devils would be stupefied. There is no
purpose of delay without reason. Much time has lapsed in laziness, sleep and drowsiness
has taken many nights. In arguments much energy is lost. Do not remain sleeping, put on
the dress of war.

O Lord, You are the Supreme benevolence for all, You are without any comparison, You are
only object of knowledge. Holding Your feet, I go on praying You, do not forget me. How
many nights and day come and go away making me cry. How many stars smile and lose
themselves in the great space. Above the limit of time, is Your never decaying gesture of
boon and fearlessness. How many suns and moons come and get dissolved in the Great
SpaceTime continuum. How many objects of ideations have rolled in dust of ground. For You
there is no coming and going, no desire and achievement. O the Purus’ottama, You are the
only object of ideation.

flower that feeling You go on providing.

O Lord, come into my meditation, come into my life, come into my contemplation, during
sleep, dream or awaken stage. Come during pain, come during joy, come within smell, come
within hearing. I am meagre, I am empty, absorbed in unwanted thoughts. I am atom, You are
fire, drench me with Your illumination. Have mercy on me, provide inspiration, swing me
with resonance of consciouness. I am negligible, You are high, pull me to the height. O
collectivity, I am individual, stay in my mental temple. I accept defeat, bow my head
take me under Your shelter.

O bright with light, vibrant love, the diamond gem vadu’ryaman’I of the world. The
charming herdsman, sometimes terrifying, perfectly filled mine of wisdom. You are there
that is why the earth is suvived, within Your causeless mercy. You have decorated all in
new adornment. I accept You as essence of essence. All remain under Your shelter, dancing
to You in crimson light. The living beings cry and smile around Your anklebell, Your feet
dancing with the tinkling.

Today the effulgence has broken the limits, and the sky and air is coloured. Light came in
the closed house, from where no one knows, tell me. The song rushes breaking the boundary
in that light with diverse colours. It does not know with whom the mind has dissolved. Do
not stay sitting in home., any body. Spreading Your wings in the great space, soar into
the arena of stars, move looking at the distant unknown.

You? The river flows in hundreds of flows, but I move only to merge in You. I have heard

fact?

state, I am within Your home. O Lord, You are the pupil of my eyes. Without You I am
devoid of all. None else is mine, except You. You stay pervading all atoms and particles
along with them. The difference between You and me is of ma’ya’, that I shall remove
with Your gesture. O Ever Effulgence, by Your resonance, light shines in my life.

By Your grace, I get vitality, and I see small and big. O the Merciful Lord, You are there
and I go on singing Your glories. By Your action, I seek and get life, and by service to
You, I become great. O Lord, You are the Controller of the universe, I am Your microcosmic
gift. You are my knowledge and wisdom, You are my object of meditation, You are the
scripture and secret and sacred doctrine.

The light came today to my home and into all homes. Human beings got a direction amid deep
darkness. The pessimism that was spread, ended today. Into the mental arena, hope came
piercing through the sorrow. Today do not cry anyone sitting in home, in the flood of
love, waves have appeared. In the distant sky and netherworlds fragrance oozes out.

wings of swan into distant sky. What a new love is this, You unknowable illusive game

behind the dark shade. At the end You showed mercy, and today the darkness is lost into

My mental peacock goes on soaring in the blue sky. I am unable to bind it, since it goes
on flapping the wings with rhythm and beats. Its backward pull is removed, and it has torn
away worldly bondages. Without any consideration of time, the solitary voyager goes on
flying. It is going to its own home, foegetting all its disappointments with all desires
and achievements in the language of the inert, charmed with the power of mantra.

You, they have no other destiny. With vitality, You have remained very high, with mind
You have filled the three aspects of time. In knowledge and wisdom, You have remained
great, I do not find a second like this. In intellect You are from blade of grass to the
cosmos. By intuition, You are without any base. You are wise without pride, I want to go
for loving You.

hidden within my mind, but I could not witness the mind, as I was busy in material

Within golden illusion, in distant heaven, one angel remained awake. I am unable to bring
that into folds. In the darkness of my home, that entity went kindling light, I am unable
to forget that. At the end of the winter, spring came, along with chilly wind mixed with
inertia. That also went to the arena of the angel, how can I forget that. The spring also
went along with the trace of the caetra month, and summer came in terrifying form. With
red ochre scarf that also went smilingly dancing, and my cloudy, rainy, a’s’ad’ha
month descended.

surround me from all the sides. By your name itself tears come into my eyes. Coming close
pardon me of my defects and mistakes. O My Lord, you are the dearest amongst the dears.

With silent footsteps, the Unknown Traveler came to my home today. I could not know or
recognise Him, yet I understood that He won over my mind. I was of the opinion that He
stays far, at distance, beyond hundreds of kilometers and light years away. I believed
that He does not respond to calls and functions silently. Today I saw that everything is
opposite. In the rainy nights during deep dense darkness, or during brilliant sunlight, or
early dawn, in all He is present, that could not see. Today He made my mental lotus bloom
with love.

O Lord, You have scattered each moment Your sweetness in the world, heaven and spiritual
arena, of the creation. O Parama Purus’a, You have remained hidden within that
illumination of sweetness. It was useless for me to search Him in land, water or sky. The
One whom I search, resided within the feelings. He does not stay in glittering grandeur of
wealth of skill and intellect. O Dear, I shall search and get You within, give You
everything that You accept by grace. Whatever You want, You speak out, in the illumination
of the eastern horizon.

O Lord, You know the events of my mind. You remain hidden within the mind and play the
flute intensely. All the forms within the mind, with white or black hue, all
overwhelmingly dance around You. You push some and pull close some. O the King of my mind
icon of mind, never forget me. Appear in form within the mind, only this much request of
mine You please grant.

O Lord, I have come for You. And sing Your song. I am engrossed in Your work, and I do not
want anything. On this autumn evening illuminated with moonlight, with this fragrance of
shefa’lii and nightqueen. The one whose name or title is not known, in all I find You.
With the wind touching the grasses, the shade of the white clouds, this illusive shine of
the golden harvest, nothing is outside of You. This bloomed floral forest lane, this
oscillating creeper, this charming story, has no comparison.

In the vine yard of mine, bunches and bunches of fruits have appeared. Who would come, I
call all, the door is not closed. Carefully nurtured this creeper of mine, is a single
congregation of many loving songs. In the floral garden, secretly, liveliness has
overflooded. There are buds and also the flowers, in that affectionate love is mixed.
Oscillating on the swings with rhythm and beats, they are restless with love.

The Dear is beyond the ocean, and in between there is long barrier. I was at the shore
meditating on Him. The Ocean was full of black darkness, due to cyclonic storm, it was
more difficult. There was no boatman aboard the boat, and I vigorously continued calling
the steerman. The boatman came to steer the golden boat. Alone that oarman and steerman
was ever without fear. That Dearmost had sweet smile on the face, and coming close
uttered a song of love.

Who is that Unknown, who came to my home today? He kindled light amidst intense darkness.
I was alone in the dark house, could not even see myself fully. What was my error, what
the mind does. In that illumination, I could see my real “self”. All the bondages that
were there, got removed. Spiritual endeavour became the vow of my life. Within the core of
the heart, awareness came. In that light, pearls started flowing in the life.

O Lord, I know that You belong to all. Yet, I consider You as my own only. Lord, You are
the base of all, knowingly I do not recognise that. In the morning light, with the
chirping of the birds, You fill energy into both good and bad persons.Thinking that I
weave net in my mind. You make the world dance each moment, with joyful mind and shiver of
love. You float the three worlds in the effulgence of consciousness. But I think that only
I heard Your call.

O Lord, on seeing You, it appears in mind that I had seen You sometimes, but even after
knowing, I am unable to recognise You. Though there was know acquaitence, telling as
unknown would not do. You are spread into the earth and heaven, smile on the top of the
skykissing mountain peak, in the sky You have spread blue screen, and provide gesture to
the glow of stars. In the depth of mind, You stay secluded and continue playing hide and
seek game. You make impoosible also possible. There is no comparison of Yours in the whole
world.

O Lord, Your sweetness and soft affection, when comes into the mind floating, all the fog
and hundreds of pessimisms, go away within moments. You are ever closet own, O the Great
accept my salutation. With vibration of heart and resonance of life, each moment You
surround me. Without You my own “I” also does not exists. Hence I ever seek a wee bit
of Your grace. Everything belongs to You, nothing is mine. Thus You are ever filled in the
mind.

arena, why do You extinguish that outside? In that illumination I think that I have
attained You, giving hand gesture, circling around You. With the rhythm of dance and
shining anklet, You hide sometimes close and sometimes far. With charming flute, staying
in the heat of all, You call all with affection. In everyone’s mind, You smear
fragrance, being Single You delude with hundreds of forms.

That Traveler went away, in what direction? Leaving me in this courtyard, secretly on His
mental chariot. The marks of the wheel of the chariot are left. The sweetness in sandal
breeze remains, the fragrance of blooming flowers creates a home of love. I lost Him due
to my own mistake, but would get Him back by force of sa’dhana’, the spiritual
endeavour. That sa’dhana’ with water of love, has provided oscillation of
consciousness.

wish to move to You, strongly with a bang breaking all inertial darkness. Whatever mist
comes, whatever disappointments surround, my aspirations will move forward, with the
confidence of that Dearest. Within the discrimination of permanent and temporary, that
Dear constantly resides as benevolent consciousness through the adornment of knowledge
devotion and action.

and coming into the mind, You go on merging. O the charmer of the mind, in the firmament
of the mind, all my feelings are surrounding You. With the tinkling of anklebell
shivering sound of hollow armlet, with free beam of continuous clattering sound, You dance

divinity.

O the habitants of the earth, the message has come, the Unseen Purus’a coming into the
core of the heart, has come into the fold. There will be no fear due to domineering
influence of the sinners. All sins would go away. Forget all pains and agonies, the life
is aroused. Thinking of the past, do not get disturbed. Do not remain deaf at sorrows and
lamentations of the poor. Do not pour blood on the bossom of the earth. Practice
discrimination.

continue to glow nicely, in my own mind and all minds. The flame of the lamp goes on
dancing, passing off the winter, the spring has come. Forgetting all good and bad
qualities, all rush towards You. What is the use of delay, whatever is destined, would
happen. With garland in hand, and smiling eyes, I am waiting at the path this morning.

The flute is played, the tune came floating. In my mind, with resonance of the flute, the
knot of love is tied. The call I go on hearing in all my actions, outside as well as
within the core of my life. There is nothing left in His pervasive conduct or
characteristics. That trace is permanently established in the infinity. That flute
constantly calls me, asking me see Him at least once. I go on dancing in water of the
river Yamuna’ in which You are vibrant.

O Lord, You came to my home missing the way and brought effulgence. I was covered in
inertial darkness, You opened the eyes. I could not listen to Your footsteps, as I was in
unlimited intense sleep. With silent footstep, You poured glow. When I remember the feet
I touch You, O Formless. With the essence of the core, You pulled me close.

O Lord, You came floating through the song and merged in my life. In Your world and my
life, You painted with colours. How many days have passed looking towards the path. How
many stars got exinct. Taking so much ashes of the cremation pyres, with splendid shine
You were frenzied. I had many works to do, but did not do anything and evening came. The
penance of the dark night, did You see that silently?

O Lord, You did not come, morning passed, my whole day is over, kindling the evening lamp
I am crying. The morning light told me, “ Do not be overwhelmed by sorrow, the one in
whose home, He visited, he too was human being”. The night of destruction would pass
the darkness would be removed. The agoniy would be changed to beauty, Forget the sorrows.

O Lord, I wanted touch of the dust particles of Your feet. I seek my own bliss by Your
smiling glance of grace. I do not want soothing comfort of the southern breeze. I do not
want production of flowers. I do not want collection of shining gems. I have only kept
prayerful worship. I have heard that You are ocean of mercy and possessor of all
attributes. That is why I have made a garland of spring flowers to offer at Your altar.

O Lord, I have searched You whole life, in light and shade, beyond the ocean. I have
searched You in collection of sweetness smeared flowers as well as dangerous, frightening
mountain caves. I perform mutual embracing with death. I visited pilgrim places, kindled
lamps, and blowing the conch, poured holy ganges water. I made all efforts, but did not
find You. How much time have passed, under the grip of dogma and my own reactive momenta
I have forgotten, but I did not seek particle of mercy and strength for self. I never
thought that You are located within depth of the mind.

O The Lord of Effulgence, descend down through the flow of this fountain. O the life
giving Purus’a of the three arenas, I pray You to stay in the mind. I do not want
wealth, or popular honor , my effort is to attain You. I only go on seeking strong
reverence towards the goal, You smile within this small mind. I shall be purified on
attaining You, by having the bath of liberation in the water of love. The pearl that
swings in Your gemnecklace, destroy the agony of its sleep.

name is also in that group, that swings even now in the mind, with the knowledge of the
One. O EverCompanion, the great ocean, I am also a small drop of Yours. O the soft moon in
the firmament of the mind, You delude the mind from time to time. Remove all my
restlessness, destroy all the poverty of the mind. Provide affection for all, with total
surrender offer, O the Embodiment of the Consiousness.

O The Solitary Traveler on the path of Infinity, all the paths are known to You. He moves
with discrimination with strength of intellect, and at His direction the world moves. He
was present before the first morning, and was bright even aftyer the end of the evening.
In voidness too He is vibrant with high feeling, sometimes moving away, sometimes coming
close. We all praise His glory, offering salutation and prostration before Him. I remember
That Traveler with the feeling of individual and collective association, Who is engaged in
illusive game, liila’, within me.

O Lord, sitting in one posture in the garden of campak flowers, I was threading garlands
with full heart. Assuming that You would wear that, accepting as an offering of this poor.
Ignoring all works, I pick up flowers, and bring after washing in the dew drops of the
winter. I have kept them threaded with the twine of love, take it, O Lord, pulling close.
The flowers present at the garden lane, with mental songs, they had dropped on the ground.
With leaves and fragrance, they have juped, but had words without speech.

Wherever are all, come close, love with the direction of One. Smile with tears of joy and
pleasure, the Friend of all has come into the mortal world.

O Lord, whenever I think that I have held You, then I see that You are away. Staying
close, You do not come into folds, then on thought I see that You surround me. On the
mango branch full of buds, with the brilliance of red kim’shuk flowers during spring
with scorching sunlight of the summer, You dance each year. In the congregation of lilly
flowers in rainy water, the shefa’lii flower of autumn sings for Whom? In the illusion
of dark fog of winter, and in snow, for whom are You smiling?

O Lord, when the world had not come into existence. That time, how could You make Yourself
known? In that condition consciousness and even matter were unexpressed. There was no one
to worship You, to seek You sitting in meditation. Today You are the king of all minds
but at that time, whom did You control? You have created from a blade of grass to the vast
Cosmos, and continue smiling through the plants and flowers of niip and tama’l. You
float through the fragrance of love, who could think of all these at that time?

in the distant sky, stars glow. With the southern breeze into my balcony, You came today.
The days come and go with joy and pain, under influence of intoxication of the distant
One. They do not listen to me, do not understand my story, You alone understand that.

He Who has come smilingly, let Him go with smiling face. Do not burn the buds with fire
why do you shift the affectionate look. He Who has come with many aspirations, full of
language in bosom, but with choked throat, do not let Him return with disrespect, look
towards Him at least for once. Many storms and cyclones came, the wings broke by the
annihilating typhoon, many adversities ended, why do you extinguish the light of their

The flowers bloomed in spring, but withered in next month caetra. They applied colour to
the mind, that colour, why did You wipe out? Come in the spring month again and again
full of honey, filling the mental river Yamuna’, with overflowing water of love. O the

what for you should stand close?

Vraja, yet I am inhabitant of Vraja. My Krsna comes in different eras, in some
planet or the other of the universe. His effulgence is above the physical arena, the
devotees smile and the accumulated sins go away. My Krsna is Liberator God, heavenly
Shiva of distant past. He is own for me, you and all, and comes again and again to to
destroy the inertial darkness.

fro Cosmos to the blade of grass, O the Great, O Uncomparible. You have sent me to do Your
work, not for passing time in laziness, for improving my discrimination each moment, but I
did not do so, that mistake of mine, You pardon me. I have understood what for I have come

How many eras have passed counting the moments, O Lord, You came at the end this spring.
The earth became full of sweetness of beauty, and the mind is filled with endless
qualities. I am tolerating the burn of the summer, drenching my head with the flow of
rains, yet, I bring white shefa’lii flowers in the autumn, filling the mental tray. I
get quenched with the dew drops of prewinter month, lay asleep during cold of the winter
the spring came destroying the inertia, and even without knowing, seeing or recognizing
only on hearing the name, I love.

O night, do not go away, He had told me that He would come this night. O garland, do not
dry up, O, flowers, do not wither away, I have kept Him adored. This mind of mine, does
not escape, it is attached to many materialistic hopes, and merged in many languages and
feelings, that I am now goading to the path of the singular Entity. Towards that One, I am
moving today, I have no business with many. For One only is this determination, that I
shall place the adornment to please Him.

O Lord, You stay with light and shade, overwhelmingly filling my body and mind, over the
high peak and eruption of the depth of earth, in honor or dishonor, piercing through the
infatuation. How many times I came, I do not know. How many histories, I have not kept any
discovery. I only know that I seek Your mercy, I dance to the tune of Your anklebells. You
are Cosmic, I am Your atom, let the particle get the grace of the Great, that is why this
droplet seeks Your mercy, in pain, pleasure, in light and in dark.

Along with this fragrance of autumnal white shefa’lii flower, I do not know, whom the
heart seeks. Has He remained in the firmament of my mind, or has He hidden outside?
Without knowing or recognizing Him, I continued searching Him, accepting defeat while
introducing. I go on wandering in the external world, so that by chance I get Him. For
Him, I took up all sorts of vows and promises. I accepted Him as the essence of life. I
continued saying and even tell today, that other than Him, there is nothing in this world.

O Lord, tell me by what name should I call You, and remain engrossed in what ideation? I
see the crimson dawn and listen to the chirping of birds through ears. All these are due
to Your grace. When I was an infant totally helpless, You kept me in the lap of mother. To
this helpless, You provided father’s chest, brother and mercy of Guru. Whatever is mine
all is given by You. On this earth, I have no contribution. This mind of mine, this life
of mine, that too You have mercifully given.

I do not want prestige, money, wealth, boon or any sorts of mundane gifts. I only want
Your compassion. So please appear in my dhyana and bless me with Your sweet smile. Ages
have passed, so much time has gone by. So many dawns and evenings have come and gone
crying in Your longing. My eyes are floating in the tears of yearning for You. Baba

O Lord, Baba, we all have come to You to do sa’sta’unga prana’m and receive Your
blessing. We do not want any wealth, prestige, or any boon. Only we want
Your prasad. Even before our asking, You have given us everything ahead of time. With my
small hands extended, I went on receiving all those things that You gave. And whatever I
collected, I found as pure gold. You know my needs and me more than me. I do not know
anything except only to love You. At Your lips, much of smile is present, by that itself
all my ego and vanity is removed.

At the time of work, what for do you cry, about which stealer of heart do you go on
thinking? Burning the writings sketched in black lines, you pour love into the whole
world. Having been able to understand your pain, it is not possible for me to take up any
load. Go on trying, thinking of the Lord, and speaking of the glories of that Unknown. In
the thoughts and actions, from time to time, during light or shade, that Dear goes on
dancing. The sky and air appear with His gestures, do not cry, open your eyelids.

eliminate our distance? All around me in whatever direction I look, everywhere I find Your
expression. All tell that there is nothing other than You. Then why are You keeping me
away? Please listen to my only single request. Accept me as dust of Your feet. Use this
particle for Your work, so that everyone’s heart is enriched.

O Lord, why do You go on moving away? You charm the world, awaken life, and do not get
into fold by any means. You play flute in the recess of the mind, and graze cattle in the
pasture of Vraja. Making the atoms and molecules dance, towards which heaven do You see.
You are the protector of the Great Universe, You are kind with melted heated heart, O
Lord. For Your divine illusive play there is consideration of time, from which infinity
You rush calling?

O Lord, those who are sleeping in annihilating slumber, do not let them continue to sleep.
He is unable to know how many are coming and how many are going. Within the shell the
water drop for the pearl is present, within devotion dances the fruit of liberation.
Within energy is vibrant life, all that he does not understand. His existence is for the
Great, his presence is for remembering the Great. His sweetness goes on oozing out each
moment, with the gesture of heavenly arena.

Closest more than my own soul. Most respected amongst revered. He is beyond time and
controls time. His sweetness is beyond description and remains within the core of my heart

That Unknown Traveler swinged my mind and made me forget the pain. He did not introduce
Himself, and took away my mind, with momentary smile. I enquired, “ who are You, where
do You live and what is Your name? O the Most Beautiful for all in the world, show the
proper direction to those who have lost the path”. He told, “I dwell in the core of
heart of all, without any consideration of outside and inside, I do whatever I consider
good”.

Through this fountain of effulgence, Who is that You Who came, Unknown? In the hut of my
mind, You broke the slumber and provided consciouness. I was sleeping in the small home
with unfailing infatuation of darkness, under continual intense inertia with tired body
and fatigued mind. You touched with the stick of life into the inner core of sleeping
mind. And told, “ Get up this time, during the colourful morning, do not remain
sleeping”.

O Lord, by Your mercy, the effulgence is scattered in all the three arenas and the heaven
within a moment. What a beauty have You created on the earth, when under whose will?
Beyond the intellect, You are all pervading, You are hidden outside the arena of Known.
You are established beyond the reach of words mind and sense perception, and in life and
death, Your glow shines. You are the beginning, You are the end, You are endless, You are
beginingless, Lord and do not heed to even trace of obstacles. You are beyond pain, Ever
without pain, O the compacted bliss, You are heavenly love.

sleep. In the floral garden, with His hope, total silence came. O nightingale, come close
to me again and again, as You are incomparible. All the flowers blooming in the world they
dance and swing within Your mind. With microcosmic adornment, You are great, within the
mind, You are Great. Surrounding You the world revolves, forgetting the new year and
ignoring the year end.

Today, I remember the event
of the full moon 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.

O the month of baesha’kh, you come, and remove the inertia. Those who are asleep since
ages, break their slumber. Many years have passed that the human beings evolved on this
earth. They have cried much on the cheek of time, and also due to sleep. Today the
illuminating full moon has come, and the new morning has shown the direction. The adverse
eyegesture is gone and the horizon also smiled.

O Lord, then why did You give words? You are Great, and I am small, how the value of words
would remain? I count stars towards the sky, watch thunder and hails during rains, and I
remain eager with with attentive ears to Your footstep sound in the distant sky. I have
also given words, hence think of You, there is no lapse by me anywhere, when would You
become like that?

The spring has come with the fire of colours, come, let us go dancing. There is no
difficulty, the melody and tunes are well rehearsed, the rhythm is set and the feet are
set. Paddy harvesting is completed, threshing and ponding are over, into the farmer’s
home, foodoffering to the deity arrived. They accepted the offerings, and inertia went
went away. Opening up the heart, today, you speak out your mind. On the new morning
today, new traveler arrived. The yellow embroidery flowers have become golden. The chignon
is tied and the floral garland is fixed to that, and the earth is overflowing with joy.

When ego forms the essence in action, then the absolute devotion breaks the pride. When
the soft core of the heart is transformed to matter, the Lord brings blow for the
deprivation. O Lord, remove my ego, and fill devotion in the depth of the mind. Removing
meanness, bring generosity, I do not want liberation rather I want love at Your feet. For
love towards You, I want to continue the work, thus Your victory chariot I want to
continue pulling. I look towards the goal with meditation and concentration, but by
wishing, nothing would happen, the salvation is only by His grace.

His call is for all, so that no one is left behind. Listen attentively, His flute is
sounding. Do not remain sleeping any more in the ocean of sorrows, and do not flow tears
in the stream of agonies. Do not lose yourself in the great cycle of creation, that
Purus’a is ever accompanying. The long dark night is passed. The new morning is smiling
at the eastern sky. The pains of human beings are understood by the human beings.
Consciousness has come in the core.

The anklebell is tinkling, Whose is the anklebell and Who is dancing? Captivating, the
body and the mind, Who has come, into the tired and fatigued mind? Even the subtle trace
of the happiness I have forgotten for a long time. My mornings and evenings are passing
crying. I continued creating my own net of infatuation. Who is that sympathizer who has
come? I was thinking that I have fallen left alone, that I had lost all my friends and
brothers. Today, within this sound, I got all, and the moon of the firmament of my mind
smiles.

My Is't'a mantra is dearer to me
than even my own life.

I will never leave it in exchange for anything else.
I won't leave it even if happines, respect, money
or life are lost.
I won't leave it because it is my only wealth
and ultimate endeavour, my sa’dhana’.

Even if the Lord of death appears with an open tuft of hair

with terribly large teeth
as the frightening Bhaerava
I shall tell Him: I love my mantra
and this love will never be drawn away.

O fearful Bhaerava
I require Your blessing.
O Controller of time
I await Your grace.
O Paramapurus'a, forever remain with me.
Remember, I am the dust of Your feet.

O Lord, the earth was crying in darkness, You poured the fountain of effulgence. Filling
nectar in each atom and molecule, You sang the song of liberation. The hood of deadly
serpent continued hissing. The frightening teeth danced around. The devils laughed loudly
then You brought liberation with water of love. The differences had accumulated like
mountains, many misrules and exploitations pulled me back. My heart had been torn and
pierced, then into the ears, You flowed nectar sweet message.

O Friend, I was alone and lost in the dense forest, Suddenly Someone came and I could see
the path of light. Amidst the darkness of the dense forest, I was asleep with pain and
pleasure, within the core of inertia. On awakening I saw that I was not alone. In the
forest, the air was frenzied with roars of dangerous, violent monsters. I had left the
hope of good days, then I saw the illuminated morning.

O Lord, piercing through the cheeks of time, You came and brought the heaven of
effulgence. You removed the deadly gesture by totally removing the afflictions. In the
society dominated by vultures, no one should fear, behaviour in the society should be with
love. Human beings are human beings, this is the acquintence, let this be written in the
history with golden letters. There would not be any lamentations or tears. No one should
call himself unlucky any more. There would be no more sins and shouts of the sinners. All
would listen to the message of liberation.

Who continues to play the flute, tell me. The directions are illuminated, the peacock
started dancing, the water in the river Yamuna’ is overflown. Who is that unknown
Traveler, who has come under the niip tree? With smile on lips, He has filled the world.
He made forget the awareness of time, and removed the consideration of qualities, all are
overwhelmed with joy. He told no one is alien, and He would play the flute for all.
Coloring my smile, He told that He loved all. All come close to me, leaving everything
behind, as He pulled all each moment.

The morning of today has brought hopes in my mind and all minds. O the Unknown Traveler
pause for a moment, in this colourful courtyard. No one stay away, today, all come deep
inside. On today’s spring festivity, the fire of the heart dances with double the speed.
No one is negligible, all are dear, adorable with respect and love. Exausting the
offering, give them all the love and joy.

Who has come to Mathura’, flooding the land of Vrndavan with tears? The attachment, love
and aversion, all pertaining to You, has enveloped everything. No one puts on garland of
guinja’, a red and black seed, over the neck of the King of cowherds, morning, evening.
By not finding the stealer of butter, the gopiis, cowmaids, devotees, do not cry with
shyness of joy. The parrots forgot the song, and in the river Yamuna’, there is no flood
of love. The sky of Vraja has become dull by losing One single Gopa’l.

Why so much tears in the eyes, the decoration mark is getting wiped, by what injury, tell
me. For filling the pitcher with water, come along with me, let us go. Do not churn the
curd any more, because the flute sound does not enter into the ears. Why the bondage of
the chignon has loosened, Who is that charmer who has flowed down tears in the eyes? Do
not see the black form any more, do not come below the palm tree any further, do not love
that dark face any more, yet the black pupil of the eyes are overflowing.

cows in pastures. Dressed as herdsman, secretly, to You, the gopiis, the cowherds, express
their prostrated salutations. Beyond the land of Vraja, there is a Goloka in the arena of
intuitive mind, there Your appear in atoms and mind stuff, full of Your illusive game
liila’, O the Beautiful One.

the world? O the life of life, the Beauty of the soul, what shall I do forgetting You? You
are the companion of day and night, I salute You hundreds of times. The planets and stars
kiss Your feet, and get new sweetness always. O the keeper of long matted hair, and holder
of moon, the wheels of Your cart do not stop. No one is alone in the world, thus I shall
move on to Your path.

He had come that morning, through the flow of colourful fountain. He left at my door what
was to be kept. No one opened the door, the home was bolted. He went leaving two drops of
tears for me. The rising sun of the morning had left His impression, telling that all was
meant for me by the One for Whom, I did not open the door. The red sun of the evening
extinguishing the last fire, told crying with dull face, He Who was looking for you, did
not get you.

You occupy the throne of my heart.
Your eyes are wide open overlooking the world.
All hearts offer themselves to You.

You come and go to whichever place You want
and pour out all of nature's wealth.
O kind Lord, this life of mine is meant for You.

It would not be wrong to assume
that I have become Yours.
Both luck and effort have become one.
How is this miracle and grandeur of Yours
to be explained?

O Lord, at the end of the dark night, in the eastern sky, why do You scatter colours, tell
me. Through the new sunrays beyond the fog, You scatter light, why, I do not know. You
have created the world by providing contrast, good and bad, coming and going. There is
firm bondage between sky and the netherworld and this imagination is continuous. The
darkness of death after life, and light of life after death. Within light and shade
pouring nectar of love, this weaving of web eternally.

O Lord, I have searched sky and the netherworld, but did not get any comparison of Yours.
I saw in water and land, no one understood the story of my mind. You stay within my mind
in sorrows, pains and joy. Arouse inspiration and impetus for the good deed. You brought
me by Your will. You are the Universal Master, Preceptor, merciful wishgranting tree. You
made the desert of my life, green. With affection and aversion, You are pure contradictory

O Lord, in this light scattering world, You go on making illusive game, liila’, in deep
secrecy. You provided crimson colour to the morning, and affrction in the heart, the
pragrance in flowers and aversion in repentenence. The moon of the blue sky, the honey of
the core, are expressing Your glorifying songs. You are on the top of the mountain, in
caves and in the netherworld. You are also in depth of the sea and tears of joy. Having
left You, the life is like the gemlost serpent. You are the only pole star in remembering
and meditation.

The terrible Lord Shiva is dancing with rhythms. With flaming torch in hand, the air
oscillates, and open matted hair is spread in the sky. The meteorites and comets are
shaking, and burning stars are slipping off due to great fear. O the good people, with
good mind, dance and smile, with beats of the rhythm, move on, and go on saying, “do not
fear”. Listen, the tinkling of His anklebell floats in the ears. Due to twang of the
anklet, the sinners are about to die. By the roar of the long horn, the ghosts are on
verge of destroying. The sound of d’ambaru, the hand held drum, brings new flood, and
the last stage of the devil has come.

O My Lord, in Your home, I think everyday, how much illusive game, liila’, You go on
performing. There is no flaw anywhere, evrything is at proper place, whether one likes it
or not, it depends on the mind. I see the world with mean selfishness, and make friends
and enemies by behaviour. I thought what was the use of thinking of the Great, why the God
has made all this. Do not tear the petals of the flowers without reason, do not kill the
living beings binding with the net of ma’ya’. In exchange of love, do not give me
pain, this is not order rather affectionate request.

listening, go on watching silently, on getting the energy, something can be done. You come
still closer, into each atom within thin the mind. So that anklebell tinkles in all my
actions, and the work is finished in time. You pervade mountain and even the depth of
ocean, and envelop the meteorites, galaxies and milkyway. O the Controller of time, resort

will be no discrimination, blame or regret, sing the song of the new. Due to starvation
no one would die any more. There would be no ill feeling towards any body. Those without
clothes should not be the victim of the cold, all would understand the pressure of all.
The human beings, animals and birds, inert and young grass, creepers, shrubs and known or
unknown flowers, none would die by the poisonous gas. O the Great Guide of the humanity.

That Unknown Traveler, whose name is not known, went leaving the nectarfilled message and
that pearl flowing smile. I did not recognise Him, and He silently moved away, pouring
mental fragrance for a moment. In the dry night of the summer, along with flowers of
bela’ and bakul, during rains, with moist flowing fragrance of juhi and ketakii, He
remained surrounding all over me. During autumn nights with night jasmine, and cool
prewinter breeze. At the end of the winter the spring came again and told, “did you
forget me for a moment”?

The legendry King had told, “I do not want pa’rul flowers, I do not want also the
honor, wealth and power, I only want to rectify my mistakes. I do not want throne and
golden adornments. I shall meet one and all, would know each mind, and would become
equivalent to all. I will understand the pain and pleasure, the heart full of pain, and
listen to all attentively. No one should be left behind, as all are in my home. And I
shall not go against benevolence.

I love You, hence come again and again, but contunuing like this is also not good. You are
the smile of my moon, flute sound at the sand. Do not You know that? At the morning time
You play the game of colours. And at noon, You place me amidst crowd of action. At
evening, You engage me in flood of dance and pour honey in the flowers over the mahul
tree. You are my beloved, playing with my mind, merging my mind with that of Yours. You
are Great and I am meager, do not You understand that?

O the Pure One, Who is that You who came today, pouring pure essence of fragrance? Into
the garden of flowers and into each corner of the mind, You announced the message of love.
You go on dancing with the tinkling of the anklebells. You remain engaged in all homages.
In Your smile flow of pearls emanates. I love You each moment. You are nearest own of
all. Even though You are Unknown, all are Yours. Though Vast, You are base of the atom.
All come and tell that You are present.

In the middle of the river, Who goes on singing, I do not recognise Him. What is Your
introduction, Who is That winner over time. Can You explain that. He steers the boat all
alone, there is no oarsman. He goes on telling, that He would lift up all the heavy
weights, and make one cross within moment. There is no haggling, no joist is laid, I go on
wandering around the ocean of time, my dwelling place is all the three arenas.

O Lord, if You do not come to home even by ignoring that, what for have I constructed this
home? I have heard of You, and I know that You understand my agonies. Then why should not
You come to my home? I have heard that You are engaged in work consatantly, yet, sometimes
by chance through the recess within work, You come sometime towards the end forgetting the
path. And stay at my home at least for a moment. The wind during this night of spring
goes on crying, and tells me, “ He is not able to listen to your call”. Yet, the venus
star of the blue sky says, “ know that at your request, He would come down”.

Within the life of the atom, solar rays are present, and all the three worlds are frenzied
with joy. No one is left with any load of sorrow. In the new morning, I heard the footstep
of the new. That new would remove all the burden. The sky is coloured with varieties of
colours. The air is filled with colourful vivacity. All the hopes are fulfilled, there is
no loud lamentation or expression of dejection. All are own and belong to all. All the
flora and fowna of the forest have started calling fearlessly, the flower buds, covering
with veil told.

Crying and calling for protection, the cattle and the birds rush. O Lord, what a form You
have today that heart trmbles with the fear of Your long horn sound? Though frightening
it is not deep blind well, it is also the expressed form of the same Singular Entity. The
roof flies off due to impact of storm, the boat sinks breaking the rope. The birds cry at
the broken nest, and human beings lose direction.

uproots and the old ones rae removed. The dull yellow mature leaves, without shine, that
were collected, have merged with the dust of the mud. Keep in mind the fact about the

O Lord, if during Your leisure period, You think of me, that itself I would consider
sufficient and accept as Your mercy. Shining through heavenly effulgence, destroying all
the dirts, with merciful love, that particle, You grant me. O the Supreme Controller of
the three arenas, ultimate desideratum of the will, terminus of engrossment, bring the
strings on this Viin’a’.

The tender leaves have have awakened at the end of the inertia during this spring
carrying hundreds of hopes and expectations, with the small body and small mind. We become
lazy, speechless with astonishment. I shall not sit looking at their damage and decay. I
want the aspirations of the leaves to move ahead towards perfection. Let the tender leaves
grow as full leaves, so that the living beings of the world become fearless. Let everyone
get safe shelter, and move towards the contemplation of the Great.

Clouds!
Today, the whole sky is covered with clouds.

I am sitting at home as if there was no work to do.

The paddy plants and seedlings are drying.
The lemon flowers are withering.
The a'ta’ flowers are blackening.
Due to it all
farmers are enduring terrible headaches.

The world will be green again.
Lakes will be filled with water.
The boatman will again start
rowing his commodities packed boat.

O Lord, when had I come into this world of Yours, in the stream of Your song? The day and
date of that is lost in unknown past. Whatever backwards I see, I do not find any bank or
sides. You are there, I am there and there is no one else. There is no third entity
knowing this. I shall certainly attain You, at the boundary of all achievement. I have no
obstruction or hesitation, piercing the bondages, I shall move ahead, looking at the end.

On this auspicious victory day of today
let all the distant ones
come close, love all
and go on dancing in the new light.

Forgetting all the distinction that have been
between friends and foes
pull all close.

Release the mental peacock into the sky
spreading its colourful wings.

The dense darkness has moved away.
The roar of war has become old. The tinkling of love speaks into the ears:
“wipe out all agonies”.

The day is moving forward, why are You staying behind? The sky and the air are full of
nectar, why do not you smear that nectar? Over the golden paddy, light falls and glow
overflows. Why do not You look towards that hiding your face in darkness? Searching honey
in the spring, when the bees come forward, not knowing their language and hopes, whom do
you call?

We got new life with the rays of the dawn. In the new morning, new flow came into body
mind and soul. Whatever old I want to throw away, all that torn slough I am leaving thus.
O my desideratum, Is’t’a, in resonance of the existential vibration of this meager
entity, there is nothing of the past. Whole world has become own today. There is place for
all in this mind of mine. I shall raise the sound in each life, that the whole of world is
one family, one community.

The pigeon of thoughts, goes on flying, colouring the great space. There is no restriction
to that, their coming and going through the stars. Remaining busy in many actions, at the
pull of the world with love. O brothers and sisters, let us create a new earth. Leaving
the bounded path with the revolutionary enthusiasm.

Our Ánanda Nagar shines with love.
The morning sun brings warmth to it
and the moon cools it down.

The day arrives with activities
and engaged in activities
one goes to sleep.

One forgets all measurements of time
and remains overwhelmed with bliss.

O brothers and companions, come! Come ocean of humanity!

Come and bring a small gift as a token of Your pious love.

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

We love our Ánanda Nagar
which is shining with inimitable glory.

The crimson dawn makes the atmosphere gentle and warm.
The moon makes it pleasantly cool.

When the day arrives, it makes everyone active
and in action one goes to bed.

One forgets all measurements of time
and remains always absorbed in ineffable bliss.
Come brothers! Come sisters!
Come friends!
Come ocean of humanity!
And offer her a gift as a sweet token of Your pious love.

We shall establish Gurukul (University).
We shall colour with the effulgence of knowledge
each and every bud and flower.

No one will stay behind.
We shall play each string of our lyre.
We shall thread together all with the twine of love,
We shall create an incomparable garland of gems.

No one will be left aside or looked down upon.
All will live as in their own family,
their minds filled with affection and sweetness for all.
