O Lord, You told me You would return,
but You did not do so.
Please tell me why.
The petals of the floral garland
that once was in my hand,
alas, are now covered by the earth's dust.
O Unmerciful One!
What is this game of Yours?
Is it a new play of cheating in love?
You went away,
yet, day and night,
You remain ever awake in my mind
Page 2 of 146
why is this so?

No matter how much I try to forget You,
I am unable to forget You.
Wherever I look at,
the reflection of Your memory shines forth.
Why did You tie me unto You
with a jingling melody,
using the strings of my psychic lyre?

The sudden and gusty wind keeps on raising its call.
It moves along a far and unknown path.
Tell me why You have kept me tied?
Please pause a while on the corner of my house
and tell me.
O King of my mind,
provide impulse to me!
Make me move forward in all my actions.
By Your inspiration and propulsion,
the river of my mind
flows towards its terminus and ultimate desideratum.
O King of harvests!
Let me merge in Your harvest.
Let me advance
through memory and contemplation.
Moving forward,
I will not look back.
All actions and the entire world belong to You.

Sitting on the royal bird,
the prince flew through the sky,
unto some unknown destination.
Wearing a goldthreaded blue turban on his head,
he vanished away.
Seven brothers,
resembling campa' flowers,
rushed towards me.
They asked me
where their sister,
a pa'rul flower,
had disappeard to.
The prince, on his bird,
brought the sister back to her brothers.
The seven brothers sat on seven seats,
eating in seven plates,
in the prince's company.
The sister had applied on their forehead,
a ceremonial ritualistic mark.

O Lord, come this morning!
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.

O Lord,
You are everyone's most beloved One!
You are the kaostubha diamond locket
on everyone's bosom.
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 Padmana'bhi 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.

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 centered around You.
You pervade all environments.
In salutation to You,
the bamboos in the bamboo groves
bend down in hundreds of ways.
Bunches of lotus flowers,
dance sweetly on waves
gently expressing their love.
You are the king of this grand festival,
adorned in an enchanting royal dress.

O Lord, come and stand in front of me

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.

In countless delightful ways You joyintoxicate my mind.
Nothing is done in secret
For in each act You exist
No thought is private
For to You none is unknown.
In Your play divine
The universe dances
Clinging in eternal adoration
To Your feet.
Floods of laughter You shower
And a deluge of torrential tears
Beams of exuberant joy
And the heartrending pangs of pain.
I love You
Knowingly, unknowingly
For Your songs of love
Are strewn across the cosmos.

On a raindrenched night You came

and intoxicated me with the fragrance of pandanas.
You came in the deep dark night
to pour forth nectarlike effulgence.
In the thunderous roar
of the stormy night
while the bamboo crashed against each other
with deafening claps,
You savoured the blossoms of kadamba flowers.
Rain clouds floated on tears of deep melancholy.
Smiling girls danced and amused themselves indoors
by tying up their hair and decorating
it with jasmine and malati flowers.
The fragrance of Your pandanas
remains everfresh in my heart.
_________________________
On a raindrenched night,
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

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.

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

Tell me Lord,
Page 56 of 146
O merciful Lord,
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?

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.

At the peak of the rains torrential downs

Who makes my heart dance with the tunes of His flute?
O beautiful Lord of beauteous forms,
smeared with compassion
and adorned with sweet love,
appear before me today.

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?

for You, O heartless Lord.
I felt not to take Your name
nor ask Your grace,
but I discovered
that the world and all her life
exist because of You.
All expression starts in Your mind,
all creation moves in You.
So I take Your name,
I ask emancipation from You.
You have made me aware
that You are my nearest one.
So I constantly contemplate Your holy name,
and I yearn to attain only You.

Amidst attainments days pass away in fruitless action.
Sometimes I attain something, sometimes I don't.
Sometimes I feel happy and sometimes sad.

You are the dearest of all.

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

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.

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
Page 138 of 146
without the least fear.

With boats and ferries

They were egotistically sure

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.

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 evervigilant 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 was 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.
Page 145 of 146
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 spiraling 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
Page 146 of 146
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 aromaintoxicated 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.
