    This document provides a foreword and preface for "The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna". The foreword was written by Aldous Huxley and discusses Sri Ramakrishna and how he was uniquely recorded by "M", one of his disciples. It notes the rarity of spiritual figures having such detailed accounts of their daily lives and conversations recorded. The preface was written by Swami Nikhilananda and provides context for the book, which contains conversations between Sri Ramakrishna, his disciples, devotees and visitors that were recorded by "M". It acknowledges the challenges of translating such mystical discussions but hopes the work can still convey Sri Ramakrishna's message.

    Cry to your Mother Syama , with a real cry, O mind!


    And how can She hold Herself from you?
    How can Syama stay away?
    How can your Mother Kali hold Herself away?

    O mind, if you are in earnest, bring Her an offering


    Of bel-leaves and hibiscus flowers;
    Lay at Her feet your offering
    And with it mingle the fragrant sandal-paste of Love.

    If only I can pass away repeating Durga's name,


    How canst Thou then, O Blessed One,
    Withhold from me deliverance,
    Wretched though I may be?
    1 may have stolen a drink of wine, or killed a child unborn,
    Or slain a woman or a cow,
    Or even caused a brahmin's death;
    But, though it all be true,
    Nothing of this can make me feel the least uneasiness;
    For through the power of Thy sweet name
    My wretched soul may still aspire
    Even to Brahmanhood.

    Meditate, O my mind, on the Lord Hari,


    The Stainless One, Pure Spirit through and through.
    How peerless is the Light that in Him shines!
    How soul-bewitching is His wondrous form!
    How dear is He to all His devotees!

    Ever more beauteous in fresh-blossoming love


    That shames the splendour of a million moons,
    Like lightning gleams the glory of His form,
    Raising erect the hair for very joy.

    Am I in need of fruit?
    I have the Fruit that makes this life
    Fruitful indeed. Within my heart
    The Tree of RƗma grows,
    Bearing salvation for its fruit.

    Under the Wish-fulfilling Tree


    Of RƗma do I sit at ease,
    Plucking whatever fruit I will.
    But if you speak of fruit -
    No beggar, I, for common fruit.
    Behold, I go,
    Leaving a bitter fruit for you."

    Just now I saw a youthful cowherd


    With a young calf in his arms;
    There he stood, by one hand holding
    The branch of a young tree.
    "Where are You, Brother Kanai?" he cried;
    But "Kanai" scarcely could he utter;
    "Ka" was as much as he could say.
    He cried, "Where are You, Brother?"
    And his eyes were filled with tears.

    I drink no ordinary wine, but Wine of Everlasting Bliss,


    As I repeat my Mother KƗli's name;
    It so intoxicates my mind that people take me to be drunk!
    First my guru gives molasses for the making of the Wine;
    My longing is the ferment to transform it.
    Knowledge, the maker of the Wine, prepares it for me then;
    And when it is done, my mind imbibes it from the bottle of the mantra,
    Taking the Mother's name to make it pure.
    Drink of this Wine, says Ramprasad, and the four fruits of life are yours.

    We are afraid to speak, and yet we are afraid to keep still;


    Our minds, O Radha, half believe that we are about to lose you!
    We tell you the secret that we know -
    The secret whereby we ourselves, and others, with our help,
    Have passed through many a time of peril;
    Now it all depends on you.

    Who is there that can understand what Mother KƗli is?


    Even the six darsanas are powerless to reveal Her.
    It is She, the scriptures say, that is the Inner Self
    Of the yogi, who in Self discovers all his joy;
    She that, of Her own sweet will, inhabits every living thing.

    The macrocosm and microcosm rest in the Mother's womb;


    Now do you see how vast it is? In the Muladhara
    The yogi meditates on Her, and in the Sahasrara:
    Who but ĝiva has beheld Her as She really is?
    Within the lotus wilderness She sports beside Her Mate, the Swan.

    When man aspires to understand Her, Ramprasad must smile;


    To think of knowing Her, he says, is quite as laughable
    As to imagine one can swim across the boundless sea.
    But while my mind has understood, alas! my heart has not;
    Though but a dwarf, it still would strive to make a captive of the moon.

    How are you trying, O my mind, to know the nature of God?


    You are groping like a madman locked in a dark room.
    He is grasped through ecstatic love; how can you fathom Him without it?
    Only through affirmation, never negation, can you know Him;
    Neither through Veda nor through Tantra nor the six darsanas.

    It is in love's elixir only that He delights, O mind;


    He dwells in the body's inmost depths, in Everlasting Joy.
    And, for that love, the mighty yogis practise yoga from age to age;
    When love awakes, the Lord, like a magnet, draws to Him the soul.

    He it is, says Ramprasad, that I approach as Mother;


    But must I give away the secret, here in the marketplace?
    From the hints I have given, O mind, guess what that Being is!

    As is a man's meditation, so is his feeling of love;

    Meditate, O my mind, on the Lord Hari,


    The Stainless One, Pure Spirit through and through.
    How peerless is the light that in Him shines!
    How soul-bewitching is His wondrous form!
    How dear is He to all His devotees!

    $IWHU WKLV VRQJ 1DUHQGUD VDQJ

    Oh, when will dawn for me that day of blessedness


    When He who is all Good, all Beauty, and all Truth,
    Will light the inmost shrine of my heart?
    When shall I sink at last, ever beholding Him,
    Into that Ocean of Delight?
    Lord, as Infinite Wisdom Thou shalt enter my soul,
    And my unquiet mind, made speechless by Thy sight,
    Will find a haven at Thy feet.
    In my heart's firmament, O Lord, Thou wilt arise
    As Blissful Immortality;
    And as, when the chakora beholds the rising moon,
    It sports about for very joy,
    So, too, shall I be filled with heavenly happiness
    When Thou appearest unto me.

    Thou One without a Second, all Peace, the King of Kings!


    At Thy beloved feet I shall renounce my life
    And so at last shall gain life's goal;
    1 shall enjoy the bliss of heaven while yet on earth!
    Where else is a boon so rare bestowed?
    Then shall I see Thy glory, pure and untouched by stain;
    As darkness flees from 1ight, so will my darkest sins
    Desert me at Thy dawn's approach.
    Kindle in me, O Lord, the blazing fire of faith
    To be the pole-star of my life;
    O Succour of the weak, fulfil my one desire!
    Then shall I bathe both day and night
    In the boundless bliss of Thy Love, and utterly forget
    Myself, O Lord, attaining Thee.

    With beaming face chant the sweet name of God
    Till in your heart the nectar overflows.
    Drink of it ceaselessly and share it with all!
    If ever your heart runs dry, parched by the flames
    Of worldly desire, chant the sweet name of God,
    And heavenly love will moisten your arid soul.

    Be sure, O mind, you never forget to chant


    His holy name: when danger stares in your face,
    Call on Him, your Father Compassionate;
    With His name's thunder, snap the fetters of sin!
    Come, let us fulfil our hearts' desires
    By drinking deep of Everlasting Joy,
    Made one with Him in Love's pure ecstasy.

    In Wisdom's firmament the moon of Love is rising full,


    And Love's flood-tide, in surging waves, is flowing everywhere.
    O Lord, how full of bliss Thou art! Victory unto Thee!

    On every side shine devotees, like stars around the moon;


    Their Friend, the Lord All-merciful, joyously plays with them.
    Behold! the gates of paradise today are open wide.

    The soft spring wind of the New Day raises fresh waves of joy;
    Gently it carries to the earth the fragrance of God's Love,
    Till all the yogis, drunk with bliss, are lost in ecstasy.

    Upon the sea of the world unfolds the lotus of the New Day,
    And there the Mother sits enshrined in blissful majesty.
    See how the bees are mad with joy, sipping the nectar there!

    Behold the Mother's radiant face, which so enchants the heart


    And captivates the universe! About Her Lotus Feet
    Bands of ecstatic holy men are dancing in delight.

    What matchless loveliness is Hers! What infinite content


    Pervades the heart when She appears! O brothers, says Premdas,
    I humbly beg you, one and all, to sing the Mother's praise!

    Taking the name of KƗli, dive deep down,
    O mind, Into the heart's fathomless depths,
    Where many a precious gem lies hid.
    But never believe the bed of the ocean bare of gems
    If in the first few dives you fail;
    With firm resolve and self-control
    Dive deep and make your way to Mother KƗli's realm.

    Down in the ocean depths of heavenly Wisdom lie


    The wondrous pearls of Peace, O mind;
    And you yourself can gather them,
    If you but have pure love and follow the scriptures' rule.
    Within those ocean depths, as well,
    Six alligators, lurk - lust, anger, and the rest -
    Swimming about in search of prey.
    Smear yourself with the turmeric of discrimination;
    The very smell of it will shield you from their jaws.
    Upon the ocean bed lie strewn
    Unnumbered pearls and precious gems;
    Plunge in, says Ramprasad, and gather up handfuls there!

    In the world's busy market-place, O Syama, Thou art flying kites;


    High up they soar on the wind of hope, held fast by maya's string.
    Their frames are human skeletons, their sails of the three gunas made;
    But all their curious workmanship is merely for ornament.
    Upon the kite-strings Thou hast rubbed the manja-paste of worldliness,
    So as to make each straining strand all the more sharp and strong.
    Out of a hundred thousand kites, at best but one or two break free;
    And Thou dost laugh and clap Thy hands, O Mother, watching them!
    On favouring winds, says Ramprasad, the kites set loose will speedily
    Be borne away to the Infinite, across the sea of the world.

    Mother, this is the grief that sorely grieves my heart,


    That even with Thee for Mother, and though I am wide awake,
    There should be robbery in my house.
    Many and many a time I vow to call on Thee,
    Yet when the time for prayer comes round, I have forgotten.
    Now I see it is all Thy trick.

    As Thou hast never given, so Thou receivest naught;


    Am I to blame for this, O Mother? Hadst Thou but given,
    Surely then Thou hadst received;
    Out of Thine own gifts I should have given to Thee.
    Glory and shame, bitter and sweet, are Thine alone;
    This world is nothing but Thy play.
    Then why, O Blissful One, dost Thou cause a rift in it?

    Says Ramprasad: Thou hast bestowed on me this mind,


    And with a knowing wink of Thine eye
    Bidden it, at the same time, to go and enjoy the world.
    And so I wander here forlorn through Thy creation,
    Blasted, as it were, by someone's evil glance,
    Taking the bitter for the sweet,
    Taking the unreal for the Real.

    Come, let us go for a walk, O mind, to KƗli, the Wish-fulfilling Tree,


    And there beneath It gather the four fruits of life.
    Of your two wives, Dispassion and Worldliness,
    Bring alone Dispassion only, on your way to the Tree,
    And ask her son Discrimination about the Truth.

    When will you learn to lie, O mind, in the abode of Blessedness,


    With Cleanliness and Defilement on either side of you?
    Only when you have found the way
    To keep these wives contentedly under a single roof,
    Will you behold the matchless form of Mother Syama.

    Ego and Ignorance, your parents, instantly banish from your sight;
    And should Delusion seek to drag you to its hole,
    Manfully cling to the pillar of Patience.
    Tie to the post of Unconcern the goats of Vice and Virtue,
    Killing them with the sword of Knowledge if they rebel.
    With the children of Worldliness, your first wife, plead from a goodly distance,
    And, if they will not listen, drown them in Wisdom's sea.
    Says Ramprasad: If you do as I say,
    You can submit a good account, O mind, to the King of Death,
    And I shall be well pleased with you and call you my darling.

    This very world is a mansion of mirth;

    What did he lack of the world or the Spirit?
    Holding to one as well as the other,
    He drank his milk from a brimming cup! $OO ODXJK

    Listen! The flute has sounded in yonder wood.
    There I must fly, for Krishna waits on the path.
    Tell me, friends, will you come along or no?
    To you my Krishna is merely an empty name;
    To me He is the anguish of my heart.
    You hear His flute-notes onlv with your ears,
    But, oh, I hear them in my deepest soul.
    I hear His flute calling: 'Radha come out!
    Without you the grove is shorn of its loveliness.' "

    Why should I go to Ganga or Gaya, to Kasi, Kanchi, or Prabhas,


    So long as I can breathe my last with KƗli's name upon my lips?
    What need of rituals has a man, what need of devotions any more,
    If he repeats the Mother's name at the three holy hours?
    Rituals may pursue him close, but never can they overtake him.
    Charity, vows, and giving of gifts do not appeal to Madan's mind;
    The Blissful Mother's Lotus Feet are his whole prayer and sacrifice.
    Who could ever have conceived the power Her name possesses?
    ĝiva Himself, the God of Gods, sings Her praise with His five mouths!

    If only I can pass away repeating Durga's name,

    Dive deep, O mind, dive deep in the Ocean of God's Beauty;
    If you descend to the uttermost depths,
    There you will find the gem of Love.

    Go seek, O mind, go seek VrindƗvan in your heart,


    Where with His loving devotees
    Sri Krishna sports eternally.

    Light up, O mind, light up true wisdom's shining lamp,


    And let it burn with steady flame
    Unceasingly within your heart.

    Who is it that steers your boat across the solid earth?


    It is your guru, says Kubir;
    Meditate on his holy feet.

    When such delusion veils the world, through Mahamaya's spell,
    That Brahma is bereft of sense,
    And Vishnu loses consciousness,
    What hope is left for men?

    The narrow channel first is made, and there the trap is set;
    But open though the passage lies,
    The fish, once safely through the gate,
    Do not come out again.

    The silk-worm patiently prepares its closely spun cocoon;


    Yet even though a way leads forth,
    Encased within its own cocoon,
    The worm remains to die.

    Mother! Mother! My boat is sinking, here in the ocean of this world;
    Fiercely the hurricane of delusion rages on every side!
    Clumsy is my helmsman, the mind; stubborn my six oarsmen, the passions;
    Into a pitiless wind
    I sailed my boat, and now it is sinking!
    Split is the rudder of devotion; tattered is the sail of faith;
    Into my boat the waters are pouring! Tell me, what shall I do?
    For with my failing eyes, alas! nothing but darkness do I see.
    Here in the waves I will swim,
    O Mother, and cling to the raft of Thy name!

    Dwell, O Lord, O Lover of bhakti,


    In the VrindƗvan of my heart,
    And my devotion unto Thee
    Will be Thy Radha, dearly loved;
    My body will be Nanda's home,
    My tenderness will be YaĞoda,
    My longing for deliverance
    Will be Thy gentle gopi maids.
    Lift the Govardhan of my sin
    And slay my six unyielding passions,
    Fierce as the demons sent by Kamsa!
    Sweetly play the flute of Thy grace,
    Charming the milch cow of my mind;
    Abide in the pasture of my soul.
    Dwell by the Jamuna of my yearning,
    Under the banyan of my hope,
    For ever gracious to Thy servant;
    And, if naught but the cowherds' love
    Can hold Thee in VrindƗvan's vale,
    Then, Lord, let Dasarathi, too,
    Become Thy cowherd and Thy slave.

    Sing, O bird that nestles deep within my heart!
    Sing, O bird that sits on the Kalpa-Tree of Brahman!
    Sing God's everlasting praise.
    Taste, O bird, of the four fruits of the Kalpa-Tree,
    Dharma, artha, kama, moksha.
    Sing, O bird, "He alone is the Comfort of my soul!"
    Sing, O bird, "He alone is my life's enduring Joy!"
    O thou wondrous bird of my life,
    Sing aloud in my heart! Unceasingly sing, O bird!
    Sing for evermore, even as the thirsty chatak
    Sings for the raindrop from the cloud.

    Thrice blessed is this day of joy!


    May all of us unite, O Lord,
    To preach Thy true religion here
    In India's holy land!
    Thou dwellest in each human heart;
    Thy name, resounding everywhere,
    Fills the four corners of the sky.
    Today Thy devotees proclaim
    Thy boundless majesty.
    We seek not wealth or friends or fame,
    O Lord! No other hope is ours.
    For Thee alone Thy devotees
    Long with unflagging love.
    Safe at Thy feet, what fear have we
    Of death or danger? We have found
    The Fount of Immortality.
    To Thee the victory, O Lord!
    To Thee the victory!

    High in the heaven of the Mother's feet, my mind was soaring like a kite,
    When came a blast of sin's rough wind that drove it swiftly toward the earth.
    Maya disturbed its even flight by bearing down upon one side,
    And I could make it rise no more.
    Entangled in the twisting string of love for children and for wife,
    Alas! my kite was rent in twain.

    It lost its crest of wisdom soon and downward plunged as I let it go;
    How could it hope to fly again, when all its top was torn away?
    Though fastened with devotion's cord, it came to grief in playing here;
    Its six opponents worsted it.
    Now Nareschandra rues this game of smiles and tears, and thinks it better
    Never to have played at all.

    The black bee of my mind is drawn in sheer delight


    To the blue lotus flower of Mother Syama's feet,
    The blue flower of the feet of KƗli, ĝiva's Consort;
    Tasteless, to the bee, are the blossoms of desire.
    My Mother's feet are black, and black, too, is the bee;
    Black is made one with black! This much of the mystery
    My mortal eyes behold, then hastily retreat.
    But Kamalakanta's hopes are answered in the end;
    He swims in the Sea of Bliss, unmoved by joy or pain.

    7KH NLUWDQ ZHQW RQ


    O Mother, what a machine is this that Thou hast made!
    What pranks Thou playest with this toy
    Three and a half cubits high!
    Hiding Thyself within, Thou holdest the guiding string;
    But the machine, not knowing it,
    Still believes it moves by itself.
    Whoever finds the Mother remains a machine no more;
    Yet some machines have even bound
    The Mother Herself with the string of Love.

    O King of Kings, reveal Thyself to me!
    I crave Thy mercy. Cast on me Thy glance!
    At Thy dear feet I dedicate my life,
    Seared in the fiery furnace of this world.
    My heart, alas, is deeply stained with sin;
    Ensnared in maya, I am all but dead.

    Upon the tray of the sky blaze bright
    The lamps of Sun and moon;
    Like diamonds shine the glittering stars
    To deck Thy wondrous form.
    The sweet Malaya breeze blows soft,
    For fragrant incense smoke;
    The moving air sways to and fro
    The fan before Thy holy face:
    Like gleaming votive lights
    The fresh and flowery groves appear.
    How wonderful Thy worship is,
    O Slayer of birth and death!
    The sacred Om, from space arisen,
    Is the resounding drum.
    My mind craves nectar day and night
    At Hari's Lotus Feet;
    Oh, shower the waters of Thy grace
    On thirsty Nanak, blessed Lord;
    And may Thy hallowed name
    Become his everlasting home!

    Where is a friend like Thee, O Essence of Mercy?


    Where is another friend like Thee
    To stand by me through pain and pleasure?
    Who, among all my friends, forgives my failings,
    Bringing me comfort for my grief,
    Soothing my spirit in its terror?
    Thou art the Helmsman who dost steer life's craft
    Across the world's perilous sea;
    Thy grace it is alone, O Lord,
    That silences my raging passions' storm.
    Thou pourest out the waters of peace
    Upon my burning, penitent soul:
    And Thine is the bosom that will shelter me
    When every other friend I own
    Deserts me in my dying hour.

    O Mother, I have no one else to blame:


    Alas! I sink in the well these very hands have dug.
    With the six passions for my spade,
    I dug a pit in the sacred land of earth;
    And now the dark water of death gushes forth!
    How can I save myself, O my Redeemer?

    Surely I have been my own enemy;


    How can I now ward off this dark water of death?
    Behold, the waters rise to my chest!
    How can I save myself? O Mother, save me!
    Thou art my only Refuge; with Thy protecting glance
    Take me across to the other shore of the world.

    What a delirious fever is this that I suffer from!
    O Mother, Thy grace is my only cure.
    False pride is the fever that racks my wasted form;
    "I" and "mine" are my cry. Oh, what a wicked delusion!
    My quenchless thirst for wealth and friends is never-ceasing;
    How, then, shall I sustain my life?
    Talk about things unreal, this is my wretched delirium,
    And I indulge in it always, O Giver of all good fortune!
    My eyes in seeming sleep are closed, my stomach is filled
    With the vile worms of cruelty.
    Alas! I wander about absorbed in unmeaning deeds;
    Even for Thy holy name I have no taste, O Mother!
    I doubt that I shall ever be cured of this malady.

    Dwell, O Lord, O Lover of bhakti,


    In the VrindƗvan of my heart,
    And my devotion unto Thee
    Will be Thy Radha, dearly loved. . . .

    $QG DJDLQ
    The dark cloud of the summer storm fades into nothingness,
    When, flute in hand and a smile on His lips,
    Lighting the world with His loveliness,
    Krishna, the Dark One, appears.

    His dazzling yellow robe outgleams even the lightning's glare;


    A wreath of wild-flowers interwoven
    Gently swings from His youthful breast
    And softly kisses His feet.

    See, there He stands, the Lord of life, the Moon of Nanda's line,
    Outshining all the moons in heaven
    And with the splendour of His rays
    Flooding the Jamuna's bank!
    He stands there, stealing the maidens' hearts;
    He lures them from hearth and home.
    Krishna enters my own heart's shrine,
    And with His flute-note steals away
    My wisdom, life, and soul.
    To whom shall Ganga Narayana pour out his tale of woe?
    Ah, friend, you might have understood
    Had you but gone to the Jamuna's bank
    To fill your water-jar!

    $JDLQ WKH\ VDQJ


    High in the heaven of the Mother's feet, my mind was soaring like a kite,
    When came a blast of sin's rough wind that drove it swiftly toward the earth. . . .

    Thou my wisdom and my strength.
    Thou art my home, my place of rest; my dearest friend, my next of kin;
    My present and my future, Thou; my heaven and my salvation.
    Thou art my scriptures, my commandments; Thou art my ever gracious Guru;
    Thou the Spring of my boundless bliss.
    Thou art the Way, and Thou the Goal; Thou the Adorable One, O Lord!
    Thou art the Mother tender-hearted; Thou the chastising Father;

    To arms! To arms, O man! Death storms your house in battle array!
    Bearing the quiver of knowledge, mount the chariot of devotion;
    Bend the bow of your tongue with the bow-string of love,
    And aim at him the shaft of Mother KƗli's holy name.
    Here is a ruse for the fray: You need no chariot or charioteer;
    Fight your foe from the Ganges' bank, and he is easily slain.

    Radha and Krishna are joined at last in the Nidhu Grove of VrindƗvan;
    Incomparable their beauty, and limitless their love!
    The one half shines like yellow gold, the other like bluest sapphire;
    Round the neck, on one side, a wild-flower garland hangs,
    And, on the other, there swings a necklace of precious gems.
    A ring of gold adorns one ear, a ring of shell the other;
    Half of the brow is bright as the blazing midday sun,
    The other softly gleams with the glow of the rising moon.
    Upon one half of the head a graceful peacock feather stands,
    And, from the other half, there hangs a braid of hair.

    O Mother, ever blissful as Thou art,


    Do not deprive Thy worthless child of bliss!
    My mind knows nothing but Thy Lotus Feet.
    The King of Death scowls at me terribly;
    Tell me, Mother, what shall I say to him?

    It was my heart's desire to sail my boat


    Across the ocean of this mortal life,
    O Durga, with Thy name upon my lips.
    I never dreamt that Thou wouldst drown me here
    In the dark waters of this shoreless sea.

    Both day and night I swim among its waves,


    Chanting Thy saving name; yet even so
    There is no end, O Mother, to my grief.
    If I am drowned this time, in such a plight,
    No one will ever chant Thy name again.

    $JDLQ KH VDQJ
    Repeat, O mind, my Mother Durga's hallowed name!
    Whoever treads the path, repeating "Durga! Durga!",
    ĝiva Himself protects with His almighty trident.
    Thou art the day, O Mother! Thou art the dusk and the night.
    Sometimes Thou art man, and sometimes woman art Thou.
    Thou mayest even say to me: "Step aside! Go away!"
    Yet I shall cling to Thee, O Durga! Unto Thy feet
    As Thine anklets I shall cling, making their tinkling sound.
    Mother, when as the Kite Thou soarest in the sky,
    There, in the water beneath, as a minnow I shall be swimming;
    Upon me Thou wilt pounce, and pierce me through with Thy claws.
    Thus, when the breath of life forsakes me in Thy grip,
    Do not deny me the shelter of Thy Lotus Feet!

    O KƗli, my Mother full of Bliss! Enchantress of the almighty ĝiva!


    In Thy delirious joy Thou dancest, clapping Thy hands together!
    Eternal One! Thou great First Cause, clothed in the form of the Void
    Thou wearest the moon upon Thy brow,
    Where didst Thou find Thy garland of heads before the universe was made?
    Thou art the Mover of all that move, and we are but Thy helpless toys;
    We move alone as Thou movest us and speak as through us Thou speakest.
    But worthless Kamalakanta says, fondly berating Thee:
    Confoundress! With Thy flashing sword
    Thoughtlessly Thou hast put to death my virtue and my sin alike!

    +H VDQJ DJDLQ
    Mother, Thou art our sole Redeemer,
    Thou the Support of the three gunas,
    Higher than the most high.
    Thou art compassionate, I know,
    Who takest away our bitter grief.
    Sandhya art Thou, and Gayatri;
    Thou dost sustain this universe.
    Mother, the Help art Thou
    Of those that have no help but Thee,
    O Eternal Beloved of ĝiva!

    Thou art in earth, in water Thou;


    Thou liest at the root of all.
    In me, in every creature,
    Thou hast Thy home; though clothed with form,
    Yet art Thou formless Reality.

    Though I am never loath to grant salvation,
    I hesitate indeed, to grant pure love.
    Whoever wins pure love surpasses all;
    He is adored by men;
    He triumphs over the three worlds.

    Listen, Chandravali! I shall tell you of love:


    Mukti a man may gain, but rare is bhakti.
    Solely for pure love's sake did I become
    King Vali's door-keeper
    Down in his realm in the nether world.

    Alone in VrindƗvan can pure love be found;


    Its secret none but the gopas and gopis know.
    For pure love's sake I dwelt in Nanda's house;
    Taking him as My father,
    I carried his burdens on My head.

    The black bee of my mind is drawn in sheer delight


    To the blue lotus flower of Mother Syama's feet. . . .

    7KHQ KH VDQJ
    High in the heaven of the Mother's feet, my mind was soaring like a kite,
    When came a gust of sin's rough wind that drove it swiftly toward the earth. . . .

    $JDLQ
    Dwell, O mind, within yourself;
    Enter no other's home.
    If you but seek there, you will find
    All you are searching for.

    God, the true Philosopher's Stone,


    Who answers every prayer,
    Lies hidden deep within your heart,
    The richest gem of all.

    How many pearls and precious stones


    Are scattered all about
    The outer court that lies before
    The chamber of your heart!

    Who is this terrible Woman, dark as the sky at midnight?


    Who is this Woman dancing over the field of battle.
    Like a blue lotus that floats on a crimson sea of blood?
    Who is She, clad alone in the Infinite for a garment,
    Rolling Her three great eyes in frenzy and savage fury?
    Under the weight of Her tread the earth itself is trembling!
    Siva, Her mighty Husband, who wields the fearful trident,
    Lies like a lifeless corpse beneath Her conquering feet.

    As is a man's meditation, so is his feeling of love;
    As is a man's feeling of love, so is his gain;
    And faith is the root of all.

    Awake, Mother! Awake! How long Thou hast been asleep


    In the lotus of the Muladhara!
    Fulfil Thy secret function, Mother:
    Rise to the thousand-petalled lotus within the head,
    Where mighty Siva has His dwelling;
    Swiftly pierce the six lotuses
    And take away my grief, O Essence of Consciousness!

    O mind, you do not know how to farm!


    Fallow lies the field of your life.
    If you had only worked it well,
    How rich a harvest you might reap!
    Hedge it about with Kali's name
    If you would keep your harvest safe;
    This is the stoutest hedge of all,
    For Death himself cannot come near it.

    Sooner or later will dawn the day


    When you must forfeit your precious field;
    Gather, O mind, what fruit you may.
    Sow for your seed the holy name
    Of God that your guru has given to you,
    Faithfully watering it with love;
    And if you should find the task too hard,
    Call upon Ramprasad for help.

    +H VDQJ DJDLQ
    I have securely blocked the way by which the King of Death will come;
    Henceforward all my doubts and fears are set at naught for ever.
    Siva Himself is standing guard at the nine doorways of my house,
    Which has one Pillar for support, and three ropes to secure it.
    The Lord has made His dwelling-place the thousand-petalled lotus flower
    Within the head, and comforts me with never-ceasing care.

    As is a man's meditation, so is his feeling of love;
    As is a man's feeling of love, so is his gain;
    And faith is the root of all.
    If in the Nectar Lake of Mother Kali's feet
    My mind remains immersed,
    Of little use are worship, oblations, or sacrifice.

    Why should I go to Ganga or Gaya, to Kasi, Kanchi, or Prabhas,
    So long as I can breathe my last with Kali's name upon my lips?..

    If only I can pass away repeating Durga's name,
    How canst Thou then, O Blessed One,
    Withhold from me deliverance,
    Wretched though I may be?
    I may have stolen a drink of wine, or killed a child unborn,
    Or slain a woman or a cow,
    Or even caused a brahmin's death;
    But, though it all be true,
    Nothing of this can make me feel the least uneasiness;
    For through the power of Thy sweet name
    My wretched soul may still aspire
    Even to Brahmanhood.

    Behold, the two brothers have come, who weep while chanting Hari's name,
    The brothers who dance in ecstasy and make the world dance in His name!
    Behold them, weeping themselves, and making the whole world weep as well,
    The brothers who, in return for blows, offer to sinners Hari's love.
    Behold them, drunk with Hari's love, who make the world drunk as well!
    Behold, the two brothers have come, who once were Kanai and Balai of Braja,
    They who would steal the butter out of the pots of the gopi maids.
    Behold, the two have come, who shatter all the rules of caste,
    Embracing everyone as brother, even the outcaste shunned by men;
    Who lose themselves in Hari's name, making the whole world mad;
    Who are none other than Hari Himself, and chant His hallowed name!
    Behold them,who saved from their sinful ways the ruffians Jagai and Madhai,
    They who cannot distinguish between a friend and an enemy!
    Behold the two brothers, Gaur and Nitai, who come again to save mankind.

    Who is the Woman yonder who lights the field of battle?
    Darker Her body gleams even than the darkest storm-cloud,
    And from Her teeth there flash the lightning's blinding flames!
    Dishevelled Her hair is flying behind as She rushes about,
    Undaunted in this war between the gods and the demons.
    Laughing Her terrible laugh, She slays the fleeing asuras,
    And with Her dazzling flashes She bares the horror of war.
    How beautiful on Her brow the drops of moisture appear!
    About Her dense black hair the bees are buzzing in swarms;
    The moon has veiled its face, beholding this Sea of Beauty.
    Tell me, who can She be, this Sorceress? Wonder of wonders!
    ĝiva Himself, like a corpse, lies vanquished at Her feet.
    Kamalakanta has guessed who She is, with the elephant's gait;
    She is none other than KƗli, Mother of all the worlds.
    Sri Ramakrishna was in deep samƗdhi.

    Thy name, I have heard, O Consort of ĝiva, is the destroyer of our fear,
    And so on Thee I cast my burden: Save me! Save me, O kindly Mother!
    Out of Thy womb the world is born, and Thou it is that dost pervade it.
    Art Thou KƗli? Art Thou Radha? Who can ever rightly say?
    Mother, in every living creature Thou dost have Thy dwelling place;
    As Kundalini Thou dost live in the lotus of the Muladhara.
    Above it lies the Svadhisthana, where the four-petalled lotus blooms;
    There also Thou dost make Thy home, O mystic power of Kundalini,
    In the four petals of that flower, and in Vajrasana's six petals
    At the navel is Manipura, the blue ten-petalled lotus flower;
    Through the pathway of Sushumna, Thou dost ascend and enter there.
    O Lady of the lotuses, in lotus blossoms Thou dost dwell!
    Beyond them lies the Lake of Nectar, in the region of the heart,
    Where the twelve-petalled lotus flower enchants the eye with scarlet flame.
    When Thou dost open it, O Mother, touching it with Thy Lotus Feet,
    The age-long darkness of the heart instantly scatters at Thy sight.
    Above, in the throat, is the sixteen-petalled lotus flower, of smoky hue;
    Within the petals of this flower there lies concealed a subtle space,
    Transcending which, one sees at length the universe in Space dissolve.
    And higher yet, between the eyebrows, blossoms the lotus of two petals,
    Where the mind of man remains a prisoner and past controlling;
    From this flower the mind desires to watch the sportive play of life.
    Highest of all, within the head, the soul-enthralling centre is,
    Where shines the thousand-petalled lotus, Mahadeva's dwelling place.
    Having ascended to His throne, O Spouse of ĝiva, sit beside Him!
    Thou art the Primal Power, O Mother! She whose senses are controlled;
    The yogis meditate on Thee as Uma, great Himalaya's daughter.
    Thou who art the Power of ĝiva! Put to death my ceaseless cravings;
    Grant that I never fall again into the ocean of this world.
    Mother, Thou art the Primal Power, Thou the five cosmic principles;
    Who can ever hope to know Thee, who art beyond all principles?
    Only for Thy bhaktas' sake dost Thou assume Thy various forms;
    But when Thy devotee's five senses merge in the five elements,
    Mother, it is Thyself alone that he beholds as formless Truth.

    Mother, am I Thine eight-months child? Thy red eyes cannot frighten me!
    My riches are Thy Lotus Feet, which ĝiva holds upon His breast;
    Yet, when I seek my heritage, I meet with excuses and delays.
    A deed of gift I hold in my heart, attested by Thy Husband ĝiva;
    I shall sue Thee, if I must, and with a single point shall win.
    If Thou dost oppose me, Thou wilt learn what sort of mother's son I am.
    This bitterly contested suit between the Mother and Her son-
    What sport it is! says Ramprasad. I shall not cease tormenting Thee
    Till Thou Thyself, shalt yield the fight and take me in Thine arms at last.

    He drank his milk from a brimming cup!

    Glories of the Divine Mother


    Out of my deep affliction rescue me, O Redeemer!
    Terrified by the threats of the King of Death am I!
    Left to myself, I shall perish soon;
    Save me, oh, save me now, I pray!
    Mother of all the worlds! Thou, the Support of mankind!
    Thou, the Bewitcher of all, the Mother of all that has life!
    VrindƗvan's charming Radha art Thou,
    Dearest playmate of Braja's Beloved.
    Blissful comrade of Krishna, well-spring of Krishna's lila,
    Child of HimƗlaya, best of the gopis, beloved of Govinda!
    Sacred Ganga, Giver of moksha!
    ĝakti! The universe sings Thy praise.
    Thou art the Spouse of ĝiva, the Ever-blessed, the All;
    Sometimes Thou takest form and sometimes art absolute.
    Eternal Beloved of MahƗdeva,
    Who can fathom Thine infinite glories?

    My mind is overwhelmed with wonder,
    Pondering the Mother's mystery;
    Her very name removes
    The fear of Kala, Death himself;
    Beneath Her feet lies Maha-Kala.
    Why should Her hue be kala, black?
    Many the forms of black, but She
    Appears astoundingly black;
    When contemplated in the heart,
    She lights the lotus that blossoms there.
    Her form is black, and She is named
    KƗli, the Black One. Blacker than black
    Is She! Beholding Her,
    Man is bewitched for evermore;
    No other form can he enjoy.
    In wonderment asks Ramprasad:
    Where dwells this Woman so amazing?
    At Her mere name, his mind
    Becomes at once absorbed in Her,
    Though he has never yet beheld Her.

    I have surrendered my soul at the fearless feet of the Mother;


    Am I afraid of Death any more?
    Unto the tuft of hair on my head
    Is tied the almighty mantra, Mother KƗli's name.
    My body I have sold in the market-place of the world
    And with it have bought Sri Durga's name.
    Deep within my heart I have planted the name of KƗli,
    The Wish-fulfilling Tree of heaven;
    When Yama, King of Death, appears,
    To him I shall open my heart and show it growing there.
    I have cast out from me my six unflagging foes;
    Ready am I to sail life's sea,
    Crying, "To Durga, victory!"

    Why has My body turned so golden? It is not time for this to be:
    Many the ages that must pass, before as GaurƗnga I appear.
    Here in the age of Dwapara My sport is not yet at an end;
    How strange this transformation is!
    The peacock glistens, all of gold; arid golden, too, the cuckoo gleams!
    Everything around Me here has turned to gold! Naught else appears
    But gold, whichever way I look.
    What can it mean, this miracle, that everything I see is gold?

    $K , FDQ JXHVV LWV PHDQLQJ QRZ

    Radha has come to Mathura, and that is why My skin is gold.


    For she is like the bhramara, and so has given Me her hue.
    Dark blue My body was but now; yet in the twinkling of an eye
    It turned to gold. Have I become Radha by contemplating her?

    I cannot imagine where I am-in Mathura or Navadvip.


    But how could this have come to pass?
    Not yet is Balarama born as Nitai, nor has NƗrada
    Become Srivas, nor YaĞoda as Mother Sachi yet returned.
    Then why should I, among them all, alone assume a golden face?
    Not yet is Father Nanda born as Jagannath; then why should I
    Be thus transmuted into gold?
    Perhaps because in Mathura sweet Radha has appeared, My skin
    Has borrowed GaurƗnga's golden hue.

    Surely GaurƗnga is lost in a state of blissful ecstasy;


    In an exuberance of joy, he laughs and weeps and dances and sings.
    He takes a wood for VrindƗvan, the Ganges for the blue Jamuna;
    Loudly he sobs and weeps. Yet, though he is all gold without,
    He is all black within-black with the blackness of Krishna!

    Why do my neighbours raise such a scandal?


    Why do they cast aspersions upon me
    Simply because of GaurƗnga?
    How can they understand my feelings?
    How can I ever explain?
    Can I ever explain at all?
    Alas, to whom shall I explain it?
    Ah, but they make me die of shame!
    Once on a time, at the house of Srivas,
    Gora was loudly singing the kirtan,
    When, on the ground of the courtyard,
    Falling, he rolled in an ecstasy.
    I, who was standing near him,
    Seeing him where he lay entranced.
    Was suddenly lost to outward sense.
    Until the wife of Srivas revived me.

    SURFHVVLRQ

    Gora was sweetly singing the kirtan;


    Clasping the outcastes to him,
    He softened the unbelievers' hearts.
    Through Nadia's market-place
    He chanted Lord Hari's holy name.
    I followed the throng, and from close by
    Caught a glimpse of his golden feet.

    Once by the Ganges' bank he stood,


    His body bright as the sun and moon
    Charming all with his beauty.
    I too had come, to fetch some water,
    And, as I looked from one side,
    My water-jar slipped and fell to the ground.
    My sister-in-law, the gossip, saw me,
    And now she is spreading it everywhere.

    I have not found my Krishna, O friend! How cheerless my home without Him!
    Ah, if Krishna could only be the hair upon my head,
    Carefully I should braid it then, and deck it with bakul-flowers;
    Carefully I should fashion the braids out of my Krishna-hair.
    Krishna is black, and black is my hair; black would be one with black!
    Ah, if Krishna could only be the ring I wear in my nose,
    Always from my nose He would hang, and my two lips could touch Him.
    But it can never be, alas! Why should I idly dream?
    Why should Krishna care at all to be the ring in my nose?

    Ah, if Krishna could only be the bracelets on my arms,


    Always He would cling to my wrists, and proudly I should walk,
    Shaking my bracelets to make them sound, shaking my arms to show them;
    Down the king's highway I should walk, wearing my Krishn bracelets.

    Oh, what a vision I have beheld in Keshab Bharati's hut!


    Gora, in all his matchless grace,
    Shedding tears in a thousand streams!
    Like a mad elephant
    He dances in ecstasy and sings,
    Drunk with an overwhelming love.

    Rolling flat upon the ground and swimming in his tears,


    He weeps and shouts Lord Hari's name,
    Piercing the very heavens with his cries,
    Loud as a lion's roar;
    Then most humbly he begs men's love,
    To feel himself the servant of Cod.

    Shorn of his locks, he has put on the yogi's ochre robe;


    Even the hardest heart must melt
    To see his pure and heavenly love.
    Smitten by man's deep woe,
    He has abandoned everything
    And pours out love unstintingly.

    Oh, would that Premdas were his slave and, passing from door to door,
    Might sing GaurƗnga's endless praise!

    Cherish my precious Mother Syama


    Tenderly within, O mind;
    May you and I alone behold Her,
    Letting no one else intrude.

    O mind, in solitude enjoy Her,


    Keeping the passions all outside;
    Take but the tongue, that now and again
    It may cry out, "O Mother! Mother!"

    Suffer no breath of base desire


    To enter and approach us there,
    But bid true knowledge stand on guard,
    Alert and watchful evermore.

    Oh, when will dawn the blessed day


    When tears of joy will flow from my eyes
    As I repeat Lord Hari's name?
    Oh, when will dawn the blessed day
    When all my craving for the world
    Will vanish straightway from my heart,
    And with the thrill of His holy name
    All of my hair will stand on end?
    Oh, when will dawn that blessed day?

    Remember this, O mind! Nobody is your own:


    Vain is your wandering in this world.
    Trapped in the subtle snare of maya as you are,
    Do not forget the Mother's name.

    Only a day or two men honour you on earth


    As lord and master; all too soon
    That form, so honoured now, must needs be cast away,
    When Death, the Master, seizes you.

    Even your beloved wife, for whom, while yet you live,
    You fret yourself almost to death,
    Will not go with you then; she too will say farewell,
    And shun your corpse as an evil thing.

    The narrow channel first is made, and there the trap is set;
    But open though the passage lies,
    The fish, once safely through the gate,
    Do not come out again.

    Yet even though a way leads forth,


    Encased within its own cocoon,
    The worm remains to die.

    This kind of world is illusory and impermanent."

    O mind, you do not know how to farm!


    Fallow lies the field of your life.
    If you had only worked it well,
    How rich a harvest you might reap!
    Hedge it about with KƗli's name
    If you would keep your harvest safe;
    This is the stoutest hedge of all,
    For Death himself cannot come near it. . . .
    "Did you listen to the song?
    Hedge it about with KƗli's name
    If you would keep your harvest safe.
    Surrender yourself to God and you will achieve everything.
    This is the stoutest hedge of all,
    For Death himself cannot come near it.

    Oh, what a vision I have beheld in Keshab Bharati's hut!
    Gora, in all his matchless grace,
    Shedding tears in a thousand streams!
    Like a mad elephant
    He dances in ecstasy and sings,
    Drunk with an overwhelming love. . . .
    Then he sang:
    Though I am never loath to grant salvation,
    I hesitate indeed to grant pure love.
    Whoever wins pure love surpasses all;
    He is adored by men;
    He triumphs over the three worlds. . . .

    Gaur and Nitai, ye blessed brothers!
    I have heard how kind you are,
    And therefore I have come to you.
    When I visited Benares,
    ĝiva, Lord of Kasi, told me
    Of the Parabrahman's birth,
    As man, in Mother Sachi's home.
    O Brahman, Thee I recognize!
    Many a sƗdhu have I seen,
    But never one so kind as you.

    Once at Braja you were born


    As Kanai and Balai, His brother;
    Now, once more, in Nadia,
    As Gaur and Nitai do you appear,
    Hiding the shapes that then you wore.
    In Braja's pastures running freely,
    Once you frolicked; now, for play,
    You roll on the ground in Nadia,
    Chanting aloud Lord Hari's name.
    Laughing, shouting, once you played
    At Braja with your cowherd friends;
    And now you chant Lord Hari's name.

    O Gaur, how cleverly you hide


    The dark-blue form you wore at Braja!
    But your slanting eyes betray you.
    Through the blessing of your name
    The sinner is set free, they say;
    And so my soul is filled with hope.
    Now with eager heart I hasten
    To your feet: Lord! I implore you,
    Keep me safe within their shadow.

    You redeemed Jagai and Madhai,


    Wretched sinners though they were;
    I pray you, do the same for me.
    I have heard that you embrace
    All men as brothers, even the outcaste,
    Whispering in the ears of all
    Lord Hari's life-renewing name.

    Misled by maya's spell, bereft of wisdom's light,
    Comfortless as a mother cow whose calf has wandered far away.

    What need is there of penance if God is worshipped with love?


    What is the use of penance if God is not worshipped with love?
    What need is there of penance if God is seen within and without?
    What is the use of penance if God is not seen within and without?
    O Brahman! O my child! Cease from practising further penances.
    Hasten to Sankara, the Ocean of Heavenly Wisdom;
    Obtain from Him the love of God, the pure love praised by devotees,
    Which snaps in twain the shackles that bind you to the world.

    I am Pure Knowledge and Bliss: I am ĝiva! I am ĝiva!

    Neither right nor wrong doing am I, neither pleasure nor pain,

    O Mother, I hide myself in Thy loving bosom;


    I gaze at Thy face and cry out, "Mother! Mother!"
    I sink in the Sea of Bliss and am lost to sense
    In yoga-sleep; I gaze with unwinking eyes
    Upon Thy face, powerless to turn away.
    O Mother, I am terrified by this world;
    My spirit trembles and cries out in fear.
    Keep me, sweet Mother, in Thy loving bosom;
    Cover me with the spreading skirt of Thy love.
    The Master shed tears of love and cried out, "Ah me! Ah me!"

    O Lord, Destroyer of my shame! Who but Thyself can save

    And I am Thy slave for evermore. . . .
    +H FRQWLQXHG
    Seeking a shelter at Thy feet,
    I have forever set aside
    My pride of caste and race, O Lord,
    And turned my back on fear and shame.
    A lonely pilgrim on life's way,
    Where shall I go for succour now?
    For Thy sake, Lord, I bear men's blame;
    They rail at me with bitter words
    And hate me for my love of Thee.
    Both friends and strangers use me ill.

    Thou art the Guardian of my name;


    Thou mayest save or slay me, Lord!
    Upon the honour of Thy servant
    Rests, O Lord, Thy name as well;
    Thou art the Ruler of my soul,
    The glow of love within my heart;
    Do with me as it pleases Thee!

    Lord, Thou hast taken me from home and made me captive with Thy love;
    Shield me for ever at Thy feet, O Thou Beloved One!
    Upon the Nectar of Thy love, feed me both day and night,
    And save Premdas, who is Thy slave.

    Thou it is that dancest, Lord, and Thou that singest the song;
    Thou it is that clappest Thy hands in time with the music's beat;
    But man, who is an onlooker merely, foolishly thinks it is he.

    Though but a puppet, man becomes a god if he moves with Thee;


    Thou art the Mover of the machine, the Driver of the car;
    But man is weighted down with woe, dreaming that he is free.

    Thou art the Root of everything, Thou the Soul of our souls;
    Thou art the Master of our hearts; through Thine unbounded grace
    Thou turnest even the meanest sinner into the mightiest saint.

    Upon the Sea of Blissful Awareness waves of ecstatic love arise:
    Rapture divine! Play of God's Bliss!
    Oh, how enthralling!
    Wondrous waves of the sweetness of God, ever new and ever enchanting,
    Rise on the surface, ever assuming
    Forms ever fresh.
    Then once more in the Great Communion all are merged, as the barrier walls
    Of time and space dissolve and vanish:
    Dance then, O mind!
    Dance in delight, with hands upraised, chanting Lord Hari's holy name.

    O Mother, make me mad with Thy love!
    What need have I of knowledge or reason?
    Make me drunk with Thy love's Wine:
    O Thou who stealest Thy bhaktas' hearts,
    Drown me deep in the Sea of Thy love!
    Here in this world, this madhouse of Thine
    Some laugh, some weep, some dance for joy:
    Jesus, Buddha, Moses, GaurƗnga,
    All are drunk with the Wine of Thy love.
    O Mother, when shall I be blessed
    By joining their blissful company?

    I shall become a yogi and dwell in Love's mountain cave;
    I shall be lost in yoga beside the Fountain-head of Bliss.
    I shall appease my hunger for Knowledge with the fruit of Truth;
    I shall worship the feet of God with the flower of Dispassion.

    I shall not seek a well to slake the burning thirst of my heart,


    But I shall draw the water of Peace into the jar of my soul.
    Drinking the glorious Nectar of Thy blessed Lotus Feet,
    I shall both laugh and dance and weep and sing on the heights of Joy.

    O Brahman! O my child! Cease from practising further penances.
    Hasten to Sankara, the Ocean of Heavenly Wisdom;

    Which snaps in twain the shackles that bind you to the world.

    Mother, this is the grief that sorely grieves my heart,
    That even with Thee for Mother, and though I am wide awake,
    There should be robbery in my house. . . .
    +H FRQWLQXHG
    In the world's busy market-place, O Syama, Thou art flying kites;
    High up they soar on the wind of hope, held fast by mƗyƗ's string.
    Their frames are human skeletons, their sails of the three gunas made;
    But all their curious workmanship is merely for ornament.
    Upon the kite-strings Thou hast rubbed the manja-paste of worldliness,
    So as to make each straining strand all the more sharp and strong.
    Out of a hundred thousand kites, at best but one or two break free;
    And Thou dost laugh and clap Thy hands, O Mother, watching them!
    On favouring winds, says Ramprasad, the kites set loose will speedily
    Be borne away to the Infinite, across the sea of the world.

    O friend, I am dying! Surely I die.


    The anguish of being kept apart
    From Krishna is more than I can bear.
    Alas! to whom then shall I leave.
    My priceless Treasure? When I am dead,
    I beg you, do not burn my body;
    Do not cast it into the river.
    See that it is not given to the flames;
    Do not cast it into the water.
    In this body I played with Krishna.
    Bind my lifeless form, I beg you,
    To the black tamala's branches;
    Tie it to the tamala tree.
    Touching tamala it touches black.
    Krishna is black, and black is tamala;
    Black is the colour that I love.
    From earliest childhood I have loved it.
    To the black Krishna my body belongs;
    Let it not lie apart from black!

    Radha has fallen to the ground;


    She lies there lost to outward sense,
    Repeating her precious Krishna's name,
    And straightway doses both her eyes.
    Ah, has the drama reached its end?
    What ails you, O delight of Krishna?
    Only a moment ago you spoke.
    Her friends, anointing Radha's form
    With cool and soothing sandal-paste,
    Attempt to bring her back to earth.
    Some of them weep in bitter grief;
    They cannot bear to see her die.
    Some sprinkle water on her face;
    Perhaps she will revive again!
    But, oh, can water give back life
    To one who dies of Krishna's love?

    Krishna's name restores her life;


    Once more her two eyes gaze around,
    But Krishna's face she cannot see.
    Alas, how bitterly she weeps!
    "Where is my Krishna? Where is He
    Whose name you chanted in my ears?
    Bring Him but once before me here!"
    Seeing the black tamala tree,
    She stares at it and cries aloud:
    "There is His crest! I see it clearly!
    There is my "Krishna's lovely crest!"
    But only a peacock did she see,
    Whose glistening feathers she mistook
    For the gay feather on Krishna's crest.

    Dive deep, O mind, dive deep in the Ocean of God's Beauty;
    If you descend to the uttermost depths,
    There you will find the gem of Love.

    Go seek, O mind, go seek VrindƗvan in your heart,


    Where with His loving devotees
    Sri Krishna sports eternally.

    Light up, O mind, light up true wisdom's shining lamp,


    And let it burn with steady flame
    Unceasingly within your heart.

    Who is it that steers your boat across the solid earth?


    It is your guru, says Kubir;
    Meditate on his holy feet.

    Who is there that can understand what Mother KƗli is?


    Even the six darsanas are powerless to reveal Her. . . .

    +H ZHQW RQ
    Is Mother merely a simple woman, born as others are born?
    Only by chanting Her holy name
    Does ĝiva survive the deadly poison.

    She it is who creates the worlds, She who preserves and destroys,
    With a mere wink of Her wondrous eyes;
    She holds the universe in Her womb.

    Seeking a shelter at Her feet, the gods themselves feel safe;


    And Mahadeva, God of Gods,
    Lies prostrate underneath Her feet.
    $JDLQ KH VDQJ
    Is Mother only ĝiva's wife? To Her must needs bow down
    The all-destroying King of Death!
    Naked She roams about the world, slaying Her demon foes,
    Or stands erect on ĝiva's breast.
    Her feet upon Her Husband's form! What a strange wife She makes!
    My Mother's play, declares Prasad, shatters all rules and laws:
    Strive hard for purity, O mind,
    And understand my Mother's ways.
    $QG DJDLQ
    I drink no ordinary wine, but Wine of Everlasting Bliss,
    As I repeat my Mother KƗli's name;
    It so intoxicates my mind that people take me to be drunk! . . .
    $QG DJDLQ
    Can everyone have the vision of Syama? Is KƗli's treasure for everyone?
    Oh, what a pity my foolish mind will not see what is true!
    Even with all His penances, rarely does ĝiva Himself behold
    The mind-bewitching sight of Mother Syama's crimson feet.
    To him who meditates on Her the riches of heaven are poor indeed;
    If Syama casts Her glance on him, he swims in Eternal Bliss.
    The prince of yogis, the king of the gods, meditate on Her feet in vain
    Yet worthless kamalakanta yearns for the Mother's blessed feet!

    High in the heaven of the Mother's feet, my mind was soaring like a kite,
    When came a blast of sin's rough wind that drove it swiftly toward the earth. . . .
    7KHQ KH VDQJ
    Once for all, this time, I have thoroughly understood;
    From One who knows it well, I have learnt the secret of bhava.
    A man has come to me from a country where there is no night,
    And now I cannot distinguish day from night any longer;
    Rituals and devotions have all grown profitless for me.
    My sleep is broken; how can I slumber any more?
    For now I am wide awake in the sleeplessness of yoga.
    O Divine Mother, made one with Thee in yoga-sleep at last,
    My slumber I have lulled asleep for evermore.
    I bow my head, says Prasad, before desire and liberation;
    Knowing the secret that KƗli is one with the highest Brahman,
    I have discarded, once for all, both righteousness and sin.

    6UL 5DPDNULVKQD FRQWLQXHG


    I have surrendered my soul at the fearless feet of the Mother;
    Am I afraid of Death any more?
    Unto the tuft of hair on my head.
    Is tied the almighty mantra, Mother KƗli's name.
    My body I have sold in the market-place of the world
    And with it have bought Sri Durga's name.

    Deep within my heart I have planted the name of KƗli,


    The Wish-fulfilling Tree of heaven;
    When Yama, King of Death, appears,
    To him I shall open my heart and show it growing there.
    I have cast out from me my six unflagging foes;4
    Ready am I to sail life's sea,
    Crying, "To Durga, victory!"

    $JDLQ KH VDQJ
    Dwell, O mind, within yourself;
    Enter no other's home.
    If you but seek there, you will find
    All you are searching for. . . .
    $QG DJDLQ
    Though I am never loath to grant salvation,
    I hesitate indeed to grant pure love.
    Whoever wins pure love surpasses all;
    He is adored by men;
    He triumphs over the three worlds. . . .

    This very world is a mansion of myrth;


    Here I can eat, here drink and make merry.
    O physician, you are a fool!
    You see only the surface of things.
    Janaka's might was unsurpassed;
    What did he lack of the world or the Spirit?
    Holding to one as well as the other,
    He drank his milk from a brimming cup!

    If only I can pass away repeating Durga's name,


    How canst Thou then, O Blessed One,
    Withhold from me deliverance,
    Wretched though I may be?
    I may have stolen a drink of wine, or killed a child unborn,
    Or slain a woman or a cow,
    Or even caused a brahmin's death;
    But, though it all be true,
    Nothing of this can make me feel the least uneasiness;
    For through the power of Thy sweet name
    My wretched soul may still aspire
    Even to Brahmanhood.

    Behold my Mother playing with ĝiva, lost in an ecstasy of joy!
    Drunk with a draught of celestial wine, She reels, and yet She does not fall.
    Erect She stands on ĝiva's bosom, and the earth trembles under Her tread;
    She and Her Lord are mad with frenzy, casting aside all fear and shame!

    O tongue, always repeat the name of Mother Durga!


    Who but your Mother Durga will save you in distress?
    Thou art the heavens and the earth, and Thou the nether world;
    From Thee have the twelve Gopalas and Hari and ĝiva sprung.
    The ten Embodiments of Divine ĝakti art Thou,
    And Thou the ten Avatars: this time, save me Thou must!
    The moving and the unmoving, the gross and the subtle, art Thou;
    Creation and preservation art Thou, and the last dissolution.
    Thou art the Primal Root of this manifold universe;
    The Mother of the three worlds, their only Saviour, art Thou;
    Thou art the ĝakti of all, and Thou Thine own ĝakti, too.

    O Mother, for YaĞoda Thou wouldst dance, when she called Thee her precious "Blue
    Jewel";
    Where hast Thou hidden that lovely form, O terrible Syama?
    Dance that way once for me, O Mother! Throw down Thy sword and take the flute;
    Cast off Thy garland of heads, and wear Thy wild-flower garland.
    If without ĝiva Thou canst not dance, then let Balarama be Thy ĝiva.
    Dance, O Syama, as Thou didst dance when Thou wast Krishna!
    Mother, play on Thy flute again, once so full of delight for the gopis;
    Play again on Thy magic flute, which called the cattle in from the pasture,
    Stopping the Jamuna's murmuring flow and turning it backward.
    Hot in the sky the sun would burn, when YaĞoda, restless for her Krishna,
    Fondly would call: "Here, my Gopala! Cream and butter-eat them, my Darling!"
    And she would comb His long black hair and carefully braid it.
    Bending Thy supple body, Mother, both at the neck, the waist, and the knee,
    Thou didst dance with Thy friend SridƗmƗ, while Thy two anklets played the music:
    Ta-thaia! Ta-thaia! Ta-ta! Thaia-thaia!
    Hearing their captivating sound, the gopis would rush there.

    Behold the waves of Gora's ecstatic love;
    Under them all the universe lies submerged!
    And in his love I, too, long to be drowned.
    O friend, GaurƗnga's love has swallowed me;
    Who else feels for our misery like GaurƗnga,
    Dragging us from the mire of worldliness?
    +H VDQJ DJDLQ
    Dive deep, O mind, dive deep in the Ocean of God's Beauty;
    If you descend to the uttermost depths,
    There you will find the gem of Love. . . .

    To the blue lotus flower of Mother Syama's feet. . . .

    Carefully I should braid it then, and deck it with bakul-flowers;
    Carefully I should fashion the braids out of my Krishna-hair.
    Krishna is black, and black is my hair; black would be one with black.
    Ah, if Krishna could only be the ring I wear in my nose,
    Always from my nose He would hang, and my two lips could touch Him.
    But it can never be, alas! Why should I idly dream?
    Why should Krishna care at all to be the ring in my nose?
    Ah, if Krishna could only be the bracelets on my arms,
    Always He would cling to my wrists, and proudly I should walk,
    Shaking my bracelets to make them sound, shaking my arms to show them;
    Down the king's highway I should walk, wearing my Krishna bracelets.

    It is forbidden me to speak.
    I am about to die, for lack of a kindred soul
    To understand my misery.
    Simply by looking in his eyes,
    I find the beloved of my heart;
    But rare is such a soul, who swims in ecstatic bliss
    On the high tide of heavenly love.

    Om; I bow to Thee, the Everlasting Cause of the world;


    I bow to Thee, Pure Consciousness, the Soul that sustains the whole universe.
    I bow to Thee, who art One without duality, who dost bestow liberation;
    I bow to Thee, Brahman, the all-pervading Attributeless Reality.
    Thou alone art the Refuge, the only Object of adoration;
    Thou art the only Cause of the universe, the Soul of everything that is;
    Thou alone art the world's Creator, Thou its Preserver and Destroyer;
    Thou art the immutable Supreme Lord, the Absolute; Thou art unchanging Consciousness.
    Dread of the dreadful! Terror of the terrible!
    Refuge of all beings! Purity of purifiers!
    Thou alone dost rule over those in the high places,
    Supreme over the supreme, the Protector of protectors.
    Almighty Lord, who art made manifest as the Form of all, yet art Thyself unmanifest and indestructible;
    Thou who art imperceptible to the senses, yet art the very Truth;
    Incomprehensible, imperishable, all-pervading, hidden, and without form;
    O Lord! O Light of the Universe! Protect us from harm.
    On that One alone we meditate; that One is the sole object of our worship;
    To That alone, the non-dual Witness of the Universe, we bow.
    In that One who alone exists and who is our sole eternal Support, we seek, refuge,
    The self-dependent Lord, the Vessel of Safety in the ocean of existence.

    How shall I call on Thee, O Lord, with such a stained and worldly mind?
    Can a straw remain unharmed, cast in a pit of Raming coals?
    Thou, all goodness, art the fire, and I, all sin, am but a straw:
    How shall I ever worship Thee?
    The glory of Thy name, they say, redeems those even past redeeming;
    Yet, when I chant Thy sacred name, alas! my poor heart quakes with fright.
    I spend my life a slave to sin; how can I find a refuge, then,
    O Lord, within Thy holy way?
    In Thine abounding kindliness, rescue Thou this sinful wretch;
    Drag me off by the hair of my head and give me shelter at Thy feet.

    $JDLQ KH VDQJ
    Sweet is Thy name, O Refuge of the humble!
    It falls like sweetest nectar on our ears
    And comforts us, Beloved of our souls!
    The priceless treasure of Thy name alone
    Is the abode of Immortality,
    And he who chants Thy name becomes immortal.
    Falling upon our ears, Thy holy name
    Instantly slays the anguish of our hearts,
    Thou Soul of our souls, and fills our hearts with bliss!

    Tell me, my Uma, how have you fared, alone in the Stranger's house?
    People speak so much ill of us! Alas, I die of shame!
    My Son-in-law smears His body with ashes from the funeral pyre
    And roams about in great delight;
    You too, along with Him, cover with ash your golden skin.
    He begs the food that He eats! How can I bear it, being your mother?
    This time, when He returns to claim you, I shall say to Him,
    "My daughter UmƗ is not at home."

    Why has My body turned so golden?It is not time for this to be:
    Many the ages that must pass, before as GaurƗnga I appear! . .

    $JDLQ
    Gora gazes at VrindƗvan and tears stream from his eyes;
    In an exuberance of joy, he laughs and weeps and dances and sings.
    He takes a wood for VrindƗvan, the ocean for the blue Jamuna;
    He rolls on the ground for love of Hari.

    I come to you; at hunger's call I beg my food from door to door.
    The sun is low, and I must seek my home on the Jamuna's bank;
    Into its waters fall my tears, as onward murmuring it flows.

    Forgotten is your own true Self.
    O mind, unclose your eyes at last
    And wake yourself from evil dreams;
    A fool you are to bind yourself
    So to the passing shows of life,
    When in you lives Eternal Bliss.
    Come out of the gloom, O foolish mind!

    Jagai! Madhai! Oh, come and dance,


    Chanting Hari's name with fervour!
    What does it matter that you struck me?
    Dance, dear friends, in Hari's name!
    Sing the name of our Beloved:
    He will embrace you in love's rapture!
    Let the heavens resound with His name!
    You have not tasted true emotion:
    Weep as you chant the name of Hari,
    And you will see the Moon of your soul.
    Hari's name would I lovingly give you;
    Nitai calls you to share His love.

    This time I shall devour Thee utterly, Mother KƗli!


    For I was born under an evil star,
    And one so born becomes, they say, the eater of his mother.
    Thou must devour me first, or I myself shall eat Thee up;
    One or the other it must be.

    I shall besmear my hands with black, and with black my face;


    With black I shall besmear the whole of my body
    And when Death seizes me, with black I shall besmear his face.
    O Mother, I shall eat Thee up but not digest Thee;
    I shall install Thee in my heart
    And make Thee offerings with my mind.

    You may say that by eating KƗli I shall embroil myself


    With Kala, Her Husband, but I am not afraid;
    Braving His anger, I shall chant my Mother's name.
    To show the world that Ramprasad is KƗli's rightful son,
    Come what may, I shall eat Thee up-Thee and Thy retinue-
    Or lose my life attempting it.

    "I almost became mad-such was my longing for God."

    1DUHQGUD EHJDQ WR VLQJ


    O Mother, make me mad with Thy love!
    What need have I of knowledge or reason? . . .

    O Mother, ever blissful as Thou art,

    Repeat, O mind, my Mother Durga's hallowed name!


    O Gauri! O Narayani! to Thee I bow.
    Thou art the day, O Mother! Thou art the dusk and the night.
    As RƗma Thou drawest the bow, as Krishna Thou playest the flute;
    As KƗli all-terrible, Thou hast silenced ĝiva, Thy Lord.
    The ten Embodiments of Divine ĝakti art Thou,
    And Thou the ten Avatars; this time save me Thou must!
    With flowers and vilwa-leaves did YaĞoda worship Thee,
    And Thou didst bless her by placing Krishna, the Child, in her arms.
    Wherever I chance to live, O Mother, in forest or grove,
    May my mind, day and night, dwell at Thy Lotus Feet;
    Whether at last I die a natural or sudden death,
    Oh, may my tongue repeat Durga's name at the end!
    Thou mayest send me away, O Mother, but where shall I go?
    Tell me, Mother, where else shall I hear so sweet a name?
    Thou mayest even say to me: "Step aside! Go away!"
    Yet I shall cling to Thee, O Durga! Unto Thy feet
    As Thine anklets I shall cling, making their tinkling sound.
    When, O Mother, Thou sittest at mighty ĝiva's side,
    Then I shall cry from Thy feet, "Victory unto ĝiva!"
    Mother, when as the Kite, Thou soarest in the sky,
    There, in the water beneath, as a minnow I shall be swimming;
    Upon me Thou wilt pounce, and pierce me through with Thy claws.
    Thus, when the breath of life forsakes me in Thy grip,
    Do not deny me the shelter of Thy Lotus Feet!
    From the world's bondage free me, 0 Spouse of the Absolute!
    Thy two feet are my boat to cross this world's dark sea.
    Thou art the heavens and the earth, and Thou the nether world;
    From Thee have the twelve Gopalas and Hari and Brahma sprung.
    Whoever treads the path, repeating "Durga! Durga!"
    ĝiva Himself protects with His almighty trident.

    Fasten your mind, O man, on the Primal Purusha,
    Who is the Cause of all causes,
    The Stainless One, the Beginningless Truth.
    As Prana He pervades the infinite universe;
    The man of faith beholds Him,
    Living, resplendent, the Root of all.
    Beyond the senses, eternal, the Essence of Consciousness,
    He shines in the cave of the heart,
    Adorned with Holiness, Wisdom, and Love;
    By meditating on Him, man is delivered from grief.
    Of countenance ever serene,
    An inexhaustible Ocean of Virtue,
    None can fathom His depths; yet freely, of His own grace,
    Does He reveal Himself
    To those who come to His feet for shelter,
    Merciful since they are helpless and He is the Ever-forgiving, The Giver of happiness,
    The Ready Help in the sea of our woe.
    Unswervingly just, bestowing the fruits of our deeds, good and ill,
    Yet is He the Fount of Compassion,
    The Ocean of Mercy brimming with Love;
    Even to hear of His glory suffuses the eyes with tears.
    Gaze on His face and be blest:
    Your heart is hungry for Him, O man!
    Bright with unspeakable beauty, peerless and without stain,
    No words can ever describe Him;
    Be as a beggar before His gate
    And worship Him day and night, beseeching Him for His grace.

    In Wisdom's firmament the moon of Love is rising full,


    And Love's Hood-tide, in surging waves, is flowing everywhere.
    O Lord, how full of bliss Thou art! Victory unto Thee!

    On every side shine devotees, like stars around the moon;


    Their Friend, the Lord All-merciful, joyously plays with them.
    Behold! the gates of paradise today are open wide. . . .

    O my flute, sing Hari's name!


    You cannot know the highest Truth
    Without Lord Hari's grace.
    His name removes our bitter grief:
    Repeat the name of Hari, then,
    Repeat Sri Krishna's holy name!
    If He bestows His grace on me,
    No longer shall be afraid
    Of this unfriendly world;
    Sing then Lord Hari's name, my flute!
    Our only treasure is His name.
    Govinda says: Behold, my days
    Are passing by in vain:

    Oh, let me not be drowned!

    What need of rituals has a man, what need of devotions any more,
    If he repeats the Mother's name at the three holy hours?
    Rituals may pursue him close, but never can they overtake him.
    Charity, vows, and giving of gifts do not appeal to Madan's mind;
    The Blissful Mother's Lotus Feet are his whole prayer and sacrifice.

    Day and night Thou holdest me in Thy lap.

    Ah! It seems Thou art mad with love: now caressing, now with strong grasp
    Holding me firm, Thou givest me to drink
    Thy nectar, pouring in my ears Thy words of loving tenderness.
    Unceasing is Thy love for me, a love that cannot see my faults ;
    Whenever I am in danger, Thou dost save me.
    Saviour of sinners! I know the truth: I am my Mother's and She is mine.

    Now I shall listen to Her alone, and follow the path of righteousness;
    Drinking the milk that flows from my Mother's breasts,
    I shall be strong and sing with joy: "Hail, O Mother! Brahman Eternal!"

    How are you trying, O my mind, to know the nature of God?
    You are groping like a madman locked in a dark room.
    He is grasped through ecstatic love; how can you fathom Him Without it? . . .
    And, for that love, the mighty yogis practise yoga from age to age;
    When love awakes, the Lord, like a magnet, draws to Him the soul.

    Only through affirmation, never negation, can you know Him,


    Neither through Veda nor through Tantra nor the six darsanas.
    It is in love's elixir only that He delights, O mind;
    He dwells in the body's inmost depths, in Everlasting Joy.

    Can everyone have the vision of Radha? Can everyone taste her love?

    This, the rarest treasure of all, no earthly wealth can buy;


    Without devotions and sƗdhanƗ none can ever obtain it.

    The raindrop falling upon the deep when Svati shines on high
    Is formed within the oyster's shell into a priceless pearl.
    Can such a pearl be formed from rain that falls at other times?

    Mothers with their babes in arms may beckon to the moon


    To leave the sky and come to them; but only the babes are fooled.
    Does the moon ever leave the sky and dwell upon the earth?

    Why should I go to Ganga or Gaya, to Kasi, Kanchi, or Prabhas,


    So long as I can breathe my last with KƗli's name upon my lips?
    What need of rituals has a man, what need of devotions any more,
    If he repeats the Mother's name at the three holy hours?
    Rituals may pursue him close, but never can they overtake him.
    Charity, vows, and giving of gifts do not appeal to Madan's mind;
    The Blissful Mother's Lotus Feet are his whole prayer and sacrifice. . . .

    Remember this, O mind! Nobody is your own:


    Vain is your wandering in this world.
    Trapped in the subtle snare of mƗyƗ as you are,
    Do not forget the Mother's name.

    Only a day or two men honour you on earth


    As lord and master; all too soon
    That form, so honoured now, must needs be cast away,
    When Death, the Master, seizes you.

    Even your beloved wife, for whom, while yet you live,
    You fret yourself almost to death,
    Will not go with you then; she too will say farewell,
    And shun your corpse as an evil thing.

    All creation is the sport of my mad Mother KƗli;


    By Her mƗyƗ the three worlds are bewitched.
    Mad is She and mad is Her Husband; mad are Her two disciples!
    None can describe Her loveliness, Her glories, gestures, moods;
    ĝiva, with the agony of the poison in His throat,
    Chants Her name again and again.
    The Personal does She oppose to the Impersonal,
    Breaking one stone with another;
    Though to all else She is agreeable,
    Where duties are concerned She will not yield.
    Keep your raft, says Ramprasad, afloat on the sea of life,
    Drifting up with the flood-tide, drifting down with the ebb.

    The singing was over. Two sons of Rajnarayan entered the room and bowed low

    Who is the Woman yonder who lights the field of battle?
    Darker Her body gleams even than the darkest storm-cloud,
    And from Her teeth there flash the lightning's blinding flames!

    Dishevelled Her hair is flying behind as She rushes about,


    Undaunted in this war between the gods and the demons.
    Laughing Her terrible laugh, She slays the fleeing asuras,
    And with Her dazzling flashes She bares the horror of war. . . .

    Who, is this terrible Woman, dark as the sky at midnight?
    Who is this Woman dancing over the field of battle? . . .

    The black bee of my mind is drawn in sheer delight


    To the blue lotus flower of Mother Syama's feet,
    The blue flower of the feet of KƗli, ĝiva's Consort.
    Tasteless, to the bee, are the blossoms of desire.
    My Mother's feet are black, and black, too, is the bee;
    Black is made one with black! This much of the mystery
    These mortal eyes behold, then hastily retreat.
    But Kamalakanta's hopes are answered in the end;
    He swims in the Sea of Bliss, unmoved by joy or pain.

    Make me drunk with Thy love's Wine;
    O Thou who stealest Thy bhaktas' hearts,
    Drown me deep in the Sea of Thy love!
    Here in this world, this madhouse of Thine,
    Some laugh, some weep, some dance for joy:
    Jesus, Buddha, Moses, GaurƗnga,
    All are drunk with the Wine of Thy love.

    Dwell, O mind, within yourself;
    Enter no other's home.
    If you but seek there, you will find
    All you are searching for.
    God, the true Philosopher's Stone,
    Who answers every prayer,
    Lies hidden deep within your heart,
    The richest gem of all.
    How many pearls and precious stones
    Are scattered all about
    The outer court that lies before
    The chamber of your heart!

    Who is there that can understand what Mother KƗli is?
    Even the six darsanas are powerless to reveal Her.
    It is She, the scriptures say, that is the Inner Self
    Of the yogi, who in Self discovers all his joy;
    She that, of Her own sweet will, inhabits every living thing. .
    7KHQ KH VDQJ
    All creation is the sport of my mad Mother KƗli;
    By Her mƗyƗ the three worlds are bewitched. . . .

    O KƗli, who can know Thee? Numberless are Thy forms. . .

    O Mother, redeem me speedily!
    From terror of the King of Death I am about to die.
    M. said to himself, "I wish he would sing:
    Mother, Thou canst not trick me any more,
    For I have seen Thy crimson Lotus Feet."

    Dive deep, O mind, dive deep in the Ocean of God's Beauty;
    If you descend to the uttermost depths,
    There you will find the gem of Love.

    Go seek, O mind, go seek VrindƗvan in your heart,


    Where with His loving devotees
    Sri Krishna sports eternally.

    Light up, O mind, light up true wisdom's shining lamp,


    And let it burn with steady flame
    Unceasingly within your heart.

    Who is it that steers your boat across the solid earth?


    It is your guru, says Kubir;
    Meditate on his holy feet.

    All listened spellbound. Again Sri Ramakrishna began to talk.

    Can everyone have the vision of Syama? Is KƗli's treasure for everyone?
    Oh, what a pity my foolish mind will not see what is true!
    Even with all His penances, rarely does ĝiva Himself behold
    The mind-bewitching sight of Mother Syama's crimson feet.

    To him who meditates on Her the riches of heaven are poor indeed;
    If Syama casts Her glance on him, he swims in Eternal Bliss.

    The Prince of yogis, the King of the gods, meditate on Her feet in vain;
    Yet worthless Kamalakanta yearns for the Mother's blessed feet!

    Meditate on the Lord, the Slayer of hell's dire woes,


    He who removes the fear of death;
    Thinking of Him, the soul is freed from worldly grief
    And sails across the sea of life in the twinkling of an eye.

    Consider, O my mind, why you have come to earth;


    What gain is there in evil thoughts and deeds?
    Your way lies not through these: perform your penance here
    By meditating long and deep on the everlasting Lord.

    In dense darkness, O Mother, Thy formless beauty sparkles;
    Therefore the yogis meditate in a dark mountain cave.
    In the lap of boundless dark, on Mahanirvana's waves upborne,
    Peace flows serene and inexhaustible.

    Taking the form of the Void, in the robe of darkness wrapped,


    Who art Thou, Mother, seated alone in the shrine of samƗdhi?
    From the Lotus of Thy fear-scattering Feet flash Thy love's lightnings;
    Thy Spirit-Face shines forth with laughter terrible and loud!

    This very world is a mansion of mirth;

    Janaka's might was unsurpassed;
    What did he lack of the world or the Spirit?
    Holding to one as well as the other,
    He drank his milk from a brimming cup!

    Why should I go to Ganga or Gaya, to Kasi, Kanchi, or Prabhas,


    So long as I can breathe my last with KƗli's name upon my lips?
    What need of rituals has a man, what need of devotions any more,
    If he repeats the Mother's name at the three holy hours?
    Rituals may pursue him close, but never can they overtake him. . . .
    7KHQ KH VDQJ
    Once for all, this time, I have thoroughly understood;
    From One who knows it well, I have learnt the secret of bhava.
    A man has come to me from a country where there is no night,
    And now I cannot distinguish day from night any longer;
    Rituals and devotions have all grown profitless for me.

    My sleep is broken; how can I slumber any more?


    For now I am wide awake in the sleeplessness of yoga.
    O Divine Mother, made one with Thee in yoga-sleep at last,
    My slumber I have lulled asleep for evermore.
    I bow my head, says Prasad, before desire and liberation;
    Knowing the secret that KƗli is one with the highest Brahman,
    I have discarded, once for all, both righteousness and sin.
    As Sri Ramakrishna looked at Girish, his ecstatic fervour became more intense.

    +H VDQJ
    I have surrendered my soul at the fearless feet of the Mother;
    Am I afraid of Death any more?
    Unto the tuft of hair on my head
    Is tied the almighty mantra, Mother KƗli's name.
    My body I have sold in the market-place of the world
    And with it have bought Sri Durga's name. . .

    Upon the Sea of Blissful Awareness waves of ecstatic love arise:
    Rapture divine! Play of God's Bliss!
    Oh, how enthralling!
    Wondrous waves of the sweetness of God, ever new and ever enchanting,
    Rise on the surface, ever assuming
    Forms ever fresh.
    Then once more in the Great Communion all are merged, as the barrier walls
    Of time and space dissolve and vanish:
    Dance then, O mind!
    Dance in delight with hands upraised, chanting Lord Hari's holy name.

    What need is there of penance if God is worshipped with love?


    What is the use of penance if God is not worshipped with love?
    What need is there of penance if God is seen within and without?
    What is the use of penance if God is not seen within and without?

    O Brahman! O my child! Cease from practising further penances.


    Hasten to Sankara, the Ocean of Heavenly Wisdom;
    Obtain from Him the love of God, the pure love praised by devotees,
    which snaps in twain the shackles that bind you to the world.

    We are afraid to speak, and yet we are afraid to keep still;


    Our minds, O Radha, half believe that we are about to lose you!
    We tell you the secret that we know-
    The secret whereby we ourselves, and others, with our help,
    Have passed through many a time of peril;
    Now it all depends on you.

    O Kesava, bestow Thy grace


    Upon Thy luckless servants here!
    O Kesava, who dost delight
    To roam VrindƗvan's glades and groves!

    O Madhava, our mind's Bewitcher!


    Sweet One, who dost steal our hearts,
    Sweetly playing on Thy flute!

    (Chant, O Mind, the name of Hari,


    Sing aloud the name of Hari,
    Praise Lord Hari's name!)

    O Thou Eternal Youth of Braja,


    Tamer of fierce Kaliya,
    Slayer of the afflicted's fear!

    Beloved, with the arching eyes


    And crest with arching peacock feather,
    Charmer of Sri Radha's heart!
    Govardhan's mighty Lifter, Thou,
    All garlanded with sylvan flowers!
    O Damodara, Kamsa's Scourge!

    O Dark One, who dost sport in bliss


    With sweet VrindƗvan's gopi maids.

    (Chant, O mind, the name of Hari,


    Sing aloud the name of Hari,
    Praise Lord Hari's name!)

    Come one and all! Take Radha's love!


    The high tide of her love flows by;
    It will not last for very long.
    Oh, come then! Come ye, one and all!
    In countless streams it flows from her;
    As much as you desire is yours.
    Made all of love, she pours out love
    Unstintingly for everyone;
    Her love intoxicates the heart
    With heavenly bliss, and thrills the soul.
    Oh, come and sing Lord Hari's name,
    Drawn by her love. Oh, come ye all!
    Next he sang about GaurƗnga:

    Who art Thou, Gaur of the golden hue,


    That quenchest the thirst of my soul?
    Thou raisest a storm in the sea of Love,
    And scarcely can I steady my boat.

    Once as a cowherd boy in VrindƗvan


    Thou didst tend the cows;
    In Thy hands Thou heldest the flute
    That so bewitched the gopi maids;

    Lifting Govardhan's mount in Thine arms,


    Thou shieldedst VrindƗvan from ill;
    And at the wounded gopis' feet
    Humbledst Thyself in repentant love.

    Letting no one else intrude.

    Keeping the passions all outside;
    Take but the tongue, that now and again
    It may cry out, "O Mother! Mother!"

    Suffer no breath of base desire


    To enter and approach us there,
    But bid true knowledge stand on guard,
    Alert and watchful evermore.

    O madhavi, give me back my Sweet One!


    Give me, give me back my Sweet One!
    Give Him back, for He is mine,
    And make me your slave for ever.
    He is my life, as water is to the fish;
    O madhavi, you have hidden Him in your bosom!
    I am a simple, guileless girl,
    And you have stolen my Beloved.
    O madhavi, I die for my Sweet One;
    I cannot bear to live without Him.
    Without my Madhava I shall die;
    Oh, give Him, give Him back to me!

    Victory to Gora, Sachi's son!


    Hail, Abode of every virtue,
    Touchstone of Love, Ocean of Bliss,
    Man's bewitcher, beauteous of form,
    Enchanting the eye like shining gold!
    His tender arms that reach to the knee,
    Graceful and long as lotus stalks,
    Are lovingly stretched to all mankind,
    His lotus face of matchless beauty
    Overflows with the nectar of Love;
    His cheeks are covered with curling hair!
    Alight with heavenly love, his beauty
    Charms the eye! Beaming with fervour,
    Radiant with Bliss, his body trembling
    With Hari's joy, GaurƗnga the golden
    Dances like a mad elephant, shaking
    In all his limbs with the frenzy of love!
    GaurƗnga, singer of Hari's glories,
    Prize of every sƗdhu's heart,
    Rarest of men, the Ocean of Love,
    Embraces the outcaste, calls him brother,
    Takes him in his arms in fervent love!

    He dances with both his arms upraised,


    And sings Hari's name; the tears are streaming
    Down his cheeks; he weeps, he cries,
    He trembles, roars, and rages, saying,
    "Where is Hari, the Jewel of my heart?"
    The hair on his limbs is standing on end,
    Like a kadamba flower is his body,
    Covered with dust he rolls on the ground.
    O Thou, the Abode of Hari's lila,
    Fountain-head of Love's elixir,
    Friend of the helpless, Glory of Banga,
    Hail Chaitanya, Thou who shinest
    Bright as the moon, in the bhakta's heart!

    Ram asked him to sing about Hari.

    Chant, O mind, the name of Hari,


    Sing aloud the name of Hari,
    Praise Lord Hari's name!
    And praising Hari's name, O mind,
    Cross the ocean of this world.
    Hari dwells in earth, in water,
    Hari dwells in fire and air;

    In sun and moon He dwells.


    Hari's ever living presence
    Fills the boundless universe.

    Behold, the two brothers have come, who weep while chanting Hari's name,
    The brothers who, in return for blows, offer to sinners Hari's love,
    Embracing everyone as brother, even the outcaste shunned by men.
    Behold, the two brothers have come, who once were Kanai and BalƗi of Braja. . . .
    Sri Ramakrishna sang again:
    See how all Nadia is shaking
    Under the waves of GaurƗnga's love! . . .

    7KHQ

    Who are they that walk along, chanting Hari's name?


    O Madhai, go out and see!
    They seem to be Gaur and Nitai,
    With golden anklets on their lovely feet;
    Shaven of head and clad in rags,
    They reel like madmen as they go. . . .

    Oh, what a vision I have beheld in Keshab Bharati's hut!


    Gora, in all his matchless grace
    Shedding tears in a thousand streams!
    Like a mad elephant
    He dances in ecstasy and sings,
    Drunk with an overwhelming love.
    Rolling flat upon the ground and swimming in his tears,
    He weeps and shouts Lord Hari's name,
    Piercing the very heavens with his cries,
    Loud as a lion's roar;
    Then most humbly he begs men's love,
    To feel himself the servant of God.
    Shorn of his locks, he has put on the yogi's ochre robe;
    Even the hardest heart must melt
    To see his pure and heavenly love.
    Smitten with man's deep woe,
    He has abandoned everything
    And pours out love unstintingly.

    Oh, would that Premdas were his slave and, passing from door to door,
    Might sing GaurƗnga's endless praise!

    My Gora, my treasure, the jewel among men,


    Weeps as he chants Sri Radha's name
    And rolls on the ground; with fervent love
    He chants her name again and again.
    The tears stream from his love-filled eyes;
    Once more he rolls upon the ground,
    As chanting her name he faints away.
    The hair on his body stands on end;
    His tongue can lisp but a single word.
    Says Basu: Why is Gora so restless?

    A hundred times each hour, in and out of the room she goes;
    Restless, breathing hard, she looks toward the kadamba grove.
    Is she afraid of the elders? Has she been possessed by a ghost?
    Filled with restlessness, she cannot keep her dress arranged;
    Her jewels have fallen off; she trembles every now and then.
    Alas, she is so young! A princess born, and a wife besides!
    What is it that she craves? We do not understand her mind;
    But we can guess her hand is reaching out to catch the moon.
    Humbly says Chandidas: Radha has fallen in Krishna's trap.

    Tell us, O Radha of comely face! Tell us what it is that ails you.
    Why has your mind wandered away? Why do you claw the earth in frenzy?
    Tell us why your golden skin has taken the ashy hue of cinders.
    From your body the scarlet cloth has dropped unheeded to the ground;
    Ah! Your eyes are red with tears; your lovely lotus face has withered.
    Tell us what it is that ails you, lest our hearts should break with grief.

    I long for the sight of Krishna's face.

    7KH PXVLFLDQ VDQJ DJDLQ

    Hearing Krishna's flute, Radha has gone mad. She says to her friends:
    Who is the Sorcerer that dwells in the kadamba grove?
    His flute-notes suddenly enter my ears and strike a chord in my heart;
    Piercing my very soul, they slay my dharma and drive me mad.
    With restless mind and streaming eyes, alas! I can scarcely breathe:
    How He plays His magic flute, whose music thrills my soul!
    Because He is out of my sight, my heart expires; I cannot stay home.
    My soul yearns for Him; racked with pain, it longs to see Him once more.
    Says Uddhava Das: But you will die, O Radha, when you behold Him!

    First I heard His magic flute from the kadamba grove,


    And the next day the minstrel told me of Him and thrilled my soul;
    Another day, O friend of my heart, you chanted His blessed name.
    (Ah, the blessed name of Krishna, full of honeyed sweetness!)
    The wise men, too, described to me His virtues without number.
    I am a weak and simple girl, and stern, alas! are my elders;
    My love for my Beloved grows; how can I live any longer?
    After reflecting long, I find that I must die at last:
    Can you not tell me a way, O friend, by which I may meet my Krishna?

    I see the picture of Him whom I beheld on the Jamuna's bank;


    The name Visakha spoke is the name of Him who is painted here.
    He who played on the flute is the Beloved of my soul;
    His virtues the minstrel sang to me; He has bewitched my heart.
    It is none other than He!" So saying, Radha falls in a swoon.
    Restored to her senses by her friends, at once she says to them,
    "Show me Him, O friends, whom I saw reflected in my soul."
    And they promise her that they will.

    Who takes away all fear of danger?
    Tricked by delusion you forget yourself,
    Enamoured of the world's bleak wilderness.
    Alas, what mockery is here!

    Comrades and wealth you cannot always keep;


    Take care lest you forget Him quite.
    Give up the false, O mind! Adore the Real;
    And all the grief will vanish from your life.
    Keep my good counsel in your heart.

    With sounding voice proclaim Lord Hari's name


    And cast away your false desires,
    If you would cross the ocean of this life;
    Surrender to Him body, mind, and soul,
    And worship Him with trusting love.

    So too, Lord, when Thy blessed light bursts forth within the heart,
    It scatters all our grief and pain with sweetest balm.
    When on Thy love and grace I ponder, in my heart's deepest depths,
    Tears of joy stream down my cheeks beyond restraining.

    I have joined my heart to Thee: all that exists art Thou;


    Thee only have I found, for Thou art all that exists.
    O Lord, Beloved of my heart! Thou art the Home of all;
    Where indeed is the heart in which Thou dost not dwell?
    Thou hast entered every heart: all that exists art Thou.
    Whether sage or fool, whether Hindu or Mussalman,
    Thou makest them as Thou wilt: all that exists art Thou.

    Thy presence is everywhere, whether in heaven or in Kaaba;


    Before Thee all must bow, for Thou art all that exists.
    From earth below to the highest heaven, from heaven to deepest earth,

    I see Thee wherever I look: all that exists art Thou.


    Pondering, I have understood; I have seen it beyond a doubt;
    I find not a single thing that may be compared to Thee.
    To Jafar it has been revealed that Thou art all that exists.

    +H VDQJ DJDLQ

    Thou art my All in All, O lord! the Life of my life, the Essence of essence;
    In the three worlds I have none else but Thee to call my own.
    Thou art my peace, my joy, my hope;
    Thou my support, my wealth, my glory;
    Thou art my wisdom and my strength.
    Thou art my home, my place of rest; my dearest friend, my next of kin;
    My present and my future,
    Thou; my heaven and my salvation.
    Thou art my scriptures, my commandments;
    Thou art my ever gracious Guru;
    Thou the Spring of my boundless bliss.
    Thou art the Way, and Thou the Goal;
    Thou the Adorable One, O Lord!
    Thou art the Mother tender-hearted;
    Thou the chastising Father;
    Thou the Creator and Protector;
    Thou the Helmsman who dost steer
    My craft across the sea of life.

    When Love will waken in my heart?
    When will my tears flow uncontrolled
    As I repeat Lord Hari's name,
    And all my longing be fulfilled?
    When will my mind and soul be pure?
    Oh, when shall I at last repair
    Unto VrindƗvan's sacred groves?
    When will my worldly bonds fall off
    And my imperfect sight be healed
    By Wisdom's cool collyrium?
    When shall I learn true alchemy
    And, touching the Philosopher's Stone,
    Transmute my body's worthless iron
    Into the Spirit's purest gold?
    When shall I see this very world
    As God, and roll on Love's highway?
    When shall I give up piety
    And duty and the thought of caste?
    When shall I leave behind all fear,
    All shame, convention, worry, pride?
    Oh, I shall smear my body then
    With dust from the feet of devotees;
    Across my shoulders I shall sling
    Renunciation's pack, and drink
    From my two hands a cooling draught
    Of Jamunas life-renewing stream.
    Oh, then I shall be mad with love;
    I shall both laugh and weep for joy!
    Then I shall swim, upon the Sea,
    Of blessed Satchidananda;
    Drunk with His love, I shall make all
    As drunk as I! Oh, I shall sport
    At Hari's feet for evermore!

    Thou drivest all the tears out of my troubled soul.

    In my heart's inmost shrine Thy face for ever beams;


    If, for a moment even, I cannot find it there,
    My soul is overwhelmed with woe;
    And when my witless mind strays from the thought of Thee,
    The vision of Thy face strikes me with deepest shame.

    O Mother, all is done after Thine own sweet will:


    Thou art in truth self-willed, Redeemer of mankind!
    Thou workest Thine own work; men only call it theirs.
    Thou it is that holdest the elephant in the mire;
    Thou, that helpest the lame man scale the loftiest hill.
    On some Thou dost bestow the bliss of Brahmanhood;
    Yet others Thou dost hurl into this world below.
    Thou art the Moving Force, and I the mere machine;
    The house am I, and Thou the Spirit dwelling there;
    I am the chariot, and Thou the Charioteer:
    I move alone as Thou, O Mother, movest me.

    Out of a hundred thousand kites, at best but one or two break free;
    And Thou dost laugh and clap Thy hands, O Mother, watching them!
    Some are being entangled in the world and some are being liberated from it.
    How many are the boats, O mind,
    That float on the ocean of this world!
    How many are those that sink!"

    O Krishna! Krishna! Mighty Yogi! Thou art the Primal Supreme Purusha:
    This universe, manifest and unmanifest, is Thy form, as the sages declare.
    Thou alone art the soul, the sense-organs, the Lord dwelling in the bodies of all:
    Thou art the subtle Great Prakriti, made of sattva, rajas, and tamas;
    Thou alone art the Purusha, the Lord dwelling in the bodies of all.

    My sleep is broken; how can I slumber any more?
    For now I am wide awake in the sleeplessness of yoga.
    O Divine Mother, made one with Thee in yoga-sleep at last,
    My slumber I have lulled asleep for evermore.
    A man has come to me from a country where there is no night;
    Rituals and devotions have all grown profitless for me.

    Behold my vina, my dearly beloved,


    My lute of sweetest tone;
    If tenderly you play on it,
    The strings will waken, at your touch,
    To rarest melodies.
    Tune it neither low nor high,
    And from it in a hundred streams
    The sweetest sound will flow;
    But over-slack the strings are mute,
    And over-stretched they snap in twain.

    We moan for rest, alas! but rest can never find;


    We know not whence we come, nor where we float away.
    Time and again we tread this round of smiles and tears;
    In vain we pine to know whither our pathway leads,
    And why we play this empty play.

    We sleep, although awake, as if by a spell bewitched;


    Will darkness never break into the light of dawn?
    As restless as the wind, life moves unceasingly:
    We know not who we are, nor whence it is we come;
    We know not why we come, nor where it is we drift;
    Sharp woes dart forth on every side.
    How many drift about, now gay, now drowned in tears!
    One moment they exist; the next they are no more.
    We know not why we come, nor what our deeds have been,
    Nor, in our bygone lives, how well we played our parts;

    Like water in a stream, we cannot stay at rest;


    Onward we flow for evermore.
    Burst Thou our slumber's bars, O Thou that art awake!
    How long must we remain enmeshed in fruitless dreams?
    Are you indeed awake? Then do not longer sleep!
    Thick on you lies the gloom fraught with a million woes.
    Raise, dreamer, from your dream, and slumber not again!
    Shine forth, O Shining One, and with Thy shafts of light
    Slay Thou the blinding dark! Our only Saviour Thou!
    We seek deliverance at Thy feet.

    O Mother, Saviour of the helpless, Thou the Slayer of sin!


    In Thee do the three GunƗs dwell-sattva, rajas, and tamas.
    Thou dost create the world: Thou dost sustain it and destroy it;
    Binding Thyself with attributes, Thou yet transcendest them;
    For Thou, O Mother, art the All.
    KƗli Thou art, and Tara, and Thou the Ultimate Prakriti;
    Thou art the Fish, the Turtle, the Boar, and all other Avatars
    Earth, water, air, and fire art Thou, and Thou the sky,
    O Mother of the Absolute!

    The Samkhya, Patanjala, Mimamsaka, and Nyaya


    For ever seek to fathom Thee and know Thine inmost nature;
    VedƗnta and Vaiseshika are searching after Thee;
    But none of them has found Thee out.
    Though free of limitations, beginningless and without end,
    Yet for Thy loving bhaktas' sake Thou wearest varying forms.
    The terrors of this world Thou dost remove, and Thou dost dwell
    Alike in present, past, and future.

    Thou dost appear with form, to him who loves Thee as a Person;
    Thou art the Absolute, to him who worships formless Truth.
    Some there are who speak alone of the resplendent Brahman;
    Even this, O Blissful Mother, is nothing else but Thee!
    Each man, according to his measure, makes his image of the Truth,
    Calling it the Highest Brahman.
    Beyond this does Turiya shine, the Indescribable:
    O Mother of all things, who dost pervade the universe,
    Everyone of these art Thou!

    Dear friend, my religion and piety have come to an end:


    No more can I worship Mother Syama; my mind defies control.
    Oh, shame upon me! Bitter shame!
    I try to meditate on the Mother with sword in hand,
    Wearing Her garland of human heads;
    But it is always the Dark One, wearing His garland of wild wood - flowers
    And holding the flute to His tempting lips,
    That shines before my eyes.

    I think of the Mother with Her three eyes, but alas! I see
    Him alone with the arching eyes, and I forget all else!
    Oh, shame upon me! Bitter shame!
    I try to offer fragrant flowers at the Mother's feet,
    But the ravishing thought of His graceful form unsettles my helpless mind,
    And all my meditations meant for the Naked One are drawn away
    By the sight of His yellow scarf.

    O Mother, who has offered these red hibiscus flowers at Thy feet?
    I beg of Thee, O Mother, place one or two upon my head.
    Then I shall cry aloud to Thee, "Oh, Mother! Mother!"
    And I shall dance around Thee and clap my hands for joy,
    And Thou wilt look at me and laugh, and tie the flowers in my hair.

    O Father of the Universe, upon Thy lofty throne,


    Thou dost enjoy the music of the worlds,
    As Thy creation's praise they sweetly sing.
    Behold, I too, though born of earth, have come with feeble voice
    Before the portal of Thy House.
    I seek alone Thy vision, Lord! I crave no other boon.
    Here I have come to sing my song for Thee;
    From a far comer of the mighty throng
    Where sun and moon are hymning Thee, I too would sing Thy praise:
    This is Thy lowly servant's prayer.

    O King of Kings, reveal Thyself to me!


    I crave Thy mercy. Cast on me Thy glance!
    At Thy dear feet I dedicate my life,
    Seared in the fiery furnace of this world.
    My heart, alas, is deeply stained with sin;
    Ensnared in mƗyƗ, I am all but dead.
    Compassionate Lord! Revive my fainting soul
    With the life-giving nectar of Thy grace.

    Higher than the highest, deeper than the deepest depths!
    Thou art the Light of Truth, the Fount of Love, the Home of Bliss!
    This universe with all its manifold and blessed modes
    Is but the enchanting poem of Thine inexhaustible thought;
    Its beauty overflows on every side.

    O Thou Poet, great and primal, in the rhythm of Thy thought


    The sun and moon arise and move toward their setting;
    The stars, shining like bits of gems, are the fair characters
    In which Thy song is written across the blue expanse of sky;
    The year, with its six seasons, in tune with the happy earth,
    Proclaims Thy glory to the end of time.

    The colours of the flowers reveal Thy sovereign Beauty,


    The waters in their stillness, Thy deep Serenity;
    The thunder-clap unveils to us the terror of Thy Law.
    Deep is Thine Essence, truly; how can a foolish mind perceive it?

    Wondering, It meditates on Thee from yuga to yuga's end


    Millions upon millions of suns and moons and stars
    Bow down to Thee, O Lord, in rapturous awe!
    Beholding Thy creation, men and women weep for joy;
    The gods and angels worship Thee, O All-pervading Presence!
    O Thou, the Fount of Goodness, bestow on us Thy Knowledge;
    Bestow on us devotion, bestow pure love and perfect peace;
    And grant us shelter at Thy hallowed feet!

    Ah, what a fool I was to come here to the shore of this Sea of Love!
    Full to the brim with heavenly bliss is filled this little soul of mine;

    Sweet is Thy name, O Refuge of the humble!
    It falls like sweetest nectar on our ears
    And comforts us, Beloved of our souls!
    The priceless treasure of Thy name alone
    Is the abode of Immortality,
    And he who chants Thy name becomes immortal.
    Falling upon our ears, Thy holy name
    Instantly slays the anguish of our hearts,
    Thou Soul of our souls, and fills our hearts with bliss!

    O Mother, make me mad with Thy love!


    What need have I of knowledge or reason?
    Make me drunk with Thy love's Wine;
    O Thou who stealest Thy bhaktas' hearts,
    Drown me deep in the Sea of Thy love!
    Here in this world, this madhouse of Thine,
    Some laugh, some weep, some dance for joy:
    Jesus, Buddha, Moses, GaurƗnga,
    All are drunk with the Wine of Thy love
    O Mother, when shall I be blessed
    By joining their blissful company?

    Proclaim the glory of God's name as long as life remains in you;
    The dazzling splendour of His radiance floods the universe!
    Like nectar streams His boundless love, filling the hearts of men with joy:
    The very thought of His compassion sends a thrill through every limb!
    How can one fittingly describe Him? Through His abounding grace
    The bitter sorrows of this life are all forgotten instantly.
    On every side-on land below, in sky above, beneath the seas:
    In every region of this earth-men seek Him tirelessly,
    And as they seek Him, ever ask: Where is His limit, where His end?
    True Wisdom's Dwelling-place is He, the Elixir of Eternal Life,
    The Sleepless, Ever-wakeful Eye, the Pure and Stainless One:
    The vision of His face removes all trace of sorrow from our hearts.

    O Lord, must all my days pass by so utterly in vain?


    Down the path of hope I gaze with longing, day and night...

    +H VDQJ DJDLQ
    O Mother, Thou my inner Guide, ever awake within my heart;
    Day and night Thou holdest me in Thy lap.
    Why dost Thou show such tenderness to this unworthy child of Thine? . . .

    7KHQ KH VDQJ
    O gracious Lord, if like a bee
    My soul cannot imbed itself
    Deep in the Lotus of Thy Feet,
    What comfort can I find in life?
    What can I gain with wealth untold,
    Neglecting Thee, supremest Wealth?
    I take no pleasure in the sight
    Of the most lovely infant's face,
    If all its loveliness reveals
    No trace of Thy dear features there.
    Moonlight is meaningless to me
    As darkest night, if Thy love's moon
    Rise not in my sours firmament.
    The purest wife's unspotted love
    Is stained, if in it is not set
    The priceless gem of love divine.
    O Lord, whenever doubt of Thee,
    Born of base error and neglect,
    Assails my mind, I writhe in pain
    As from a serpent's poisonous fangs!
    What more, O Master, shall I say?
    Thou art my heart's most precious Jewel,
    The Home of Everlasting Joy.

    This universe, wondrous and infinite,


    O Lord, is Thy handiwork;
    And the whole world is a treasure-house
    Full of Thy beauty and grace. . .

    +H VDQJ DJDLQ
    In dense darkness, O Mother, Thy formless beauty sparkles;
    Therefore the yogis meditate in a dark mountain cave.
    In the lap of boundless dark, on Mahanirvanas waves upborne,
    Peace flows serene and inexhaustible.
    Taking the form of the Void, in the robe of darkness wrapped,
    Who art Thou, Mother, seated alone in the shrine of samƗdhi?
    From the Lotus of Thy fear-scattering Feet flash Thy love's lightnings;
    Thy Spirit-Face shines forth with laughter terrible and loud!

    Come, let us go for a walk, O mind, to KƗli, the Wish-fulfilling Tree,
    And there beneath it gather the four fruits of life.
    When will you learn to lie, O mind, in the abode of Blessedness,
    With Cleanliness and Defilement on either side of you?
    Only when you have found the way
    To keep your wives contentedly under a single roof,
    Will you behold the matchless form of Mother Syama. . . .

    I drink no ordinary wine, but Wine of Everlasting Bliss,


    As I repeat my Mother KƗli's name;
    It so intoxicates my mind that people take me to be drunk!
    First my guru gives molasses for the making of the Wine;
    My longing is the ferment to transform it.
    Knowledge, the maker of the Wine, prepares it for me then;
    And when it is done, my mind imbibes it from the bottle of the mantra,
    Taking the Mother's name to make it pure.
    Drink of this Wine, says Ramprasad, and the four fruits of life are yours.

    Be drunk, O mind, be drunk with the Wine of Heavenly Bliss!


    Roll on the ground and weep, chanting Hari's sweet name!
    Fill the arching heavens with your deep lion roar,
    Singing Hari's sweet name! With both your arms upraised,
    Dance in the name of Hari and give His name to all!
    Swim day and night in the sea of the bliss of Hari's love;
    Slay desire with His name, and blessed be your life!

    Rapture divine! Play of God's Bliss!
    Oh, how enthralling! . .

    Meditate, O my mind, on the Lord Hari,


    The Stainless One, Pure Spirit through and through.
    How peerless is the light that in Him shines!
    How soul-bewitching is His wondrous form!
    How dear is He to all His devotees!

    Ever more beauteous in fresh-blossoming love


    That shames the splendour of a million moons,
    Like lightning gleams the glory of His form,
    Raising erect the hair for very joy.

    Worship His feet in the lotus of your heart;


    With mind serene and eyes made radiant
    With heavenly love, behold that matchless sight.
    Caught in the spell of His love's ecstasy,
    Immerse yourself for evermore, O mind,
    In Him who is Pure Knowledge and Pure Bliss.

    Who is there that can understand what Mother KƗli is?
    Even the six darsanas are powerless to reveal Her.
    It is She, the scriptures say, that is the Inner Self
    Of the yogi, who in Self discovers all his joy;
    She that, of Her own sweet will, inhabits every living thing.
    The macrocosm and microcosm rest in the Mother's womb;
    Now do you see how vast it is? In the Muladhara
    The yogi meditates on Her, and in the Sahasrara:
    Who but ĝiva has beheld Her as She really is?
    Within the lotus wilderness She sports beside Her Mate, the Swan.
    When man aspires to understand Her, Ramprasad must smile;
    To think of knowing Her, he says, is quite as laughable
    As to imagine one can swim across the boundless sea.
    But while my mind has understood, alas! my heart has not;
    Though but a dwarf, it still would strive to make a captive of the moon.

    And now upon its raging stream I am carried helplessly.
    With grief my heart is laden down;
    Alas! Nitai, to whom shall I speak of it?
    Behold, I am swiftly borne away by the current of man's deep woe.

    How strange, O friend, are the rules of life and death!


    The Youth of Braja has Red away,
    And this poor maid of Braja soon will die.
    Madhava is in love with other maids
    More beautiful than I.
    Alas! He has forgotten the milkman's artless daughter.
    Who would ever have guessed, dear friend, that He,
    A Lover so tender, so divine,
    Could be a beggar simply for outward charm?
    I was a fool not to have seen it before;
    But carried away by His beauty,
    I yearned alone to hold His two feet to my breast.

    Now I shall drown myself in the Jamuna's stream,


    Or take a draught of poison, friend!
    Or I shall bind a creeper round my neck,
    Or hang myself from a young tamala tree;
    Or, failing all of these,
    Destroy my wretched self by chanting Krishna's name.

    O Krishna! Beloved! You are mine.


    What shall I say to You, O Lord?
    What shall I ever say to You?
    Only a woman am I,
    And never fortune's favourite;
    I do not know what to say.
    You are the mirror for the hand,
    And You are the flower for the hair.
    O Friend, I shall make a flower of You
    And wear You in my hair;
    Under my braids I shall hide You, Friend!
    No one will see You there.
    You are the betel-leaf for the lips,
    The sweet collyrium for the eyes;
    O Friend, with You I shall stain my lips,
    With You I shall paint my eyes.
    You are the sandal-paste for the body;
    You are the necklace for the neck.
    I shall anoint myself with You,
    My fragrant Sandal-paste,
    And soothe my body and my soul.
    I shall wear You, my lovely Necklace,
    Here about my neck,
    And You will lie upon my bosom,
    Close to my throbbing heart.
    You are the Treasure in my body;
    You are the Dweller in my house.
    You are to me, O Lord,
    What wings are to the flying bird,
    What water is to the fish.

    We moan for rest, alas! but rest can never find;
    We know not whence we come, nor where we float away.
    Time and again we tread this round of smiles and tears;
    In vain we pine to know whither our pathway leads,
    And why we play this empty play. . . .

    7KHQ
    There comes Radha, and there see your Krishna,
    With arching eyes and the flute at His lips.. . .

    $QG ILQDOO\
    O tongue, always repeat the name of Mother Durga!
    Who but your Mother Durga will save you in distress? . . .

    Crazy is my Father, crazy is my Mother,


    And I, their son, am crazy too!
    Syama is my Mother's name.
    My Father strikes His cheeks and makes a hollow sound:
    Ba-ba-bom! Ba-ba-bom!
    And my Mother, drunk and reeling,
    Falls across my Father's body!
    Syama's streaming tresses hang in vast disorder;
    Bees are swarming numberless
    About Her crimson Lotus Feet.
    Listen, as She dances, how Her anklets ring!

    O Lord, Beloved of my heart! Thou art the Home of all;
    Where indeed is the heart in which Thou dost not dwell?
    Thou hast entered every heart: all that exists art Thou.
    Whether sage or fool, whether Hindu or Musslman,
    Thou makest them as Thou wilt: all that exists art Thou.
    Thy presence is everywhere, whether in heaven or in Kaaba;
    Before Thee all must bow, for Thou art all that exists.
    From earth below to the highest heaven, from heaven to deepest earth,
    I see Thee wherever I look: all that exists art Thou.
    Pondering, I have understood; I have seen it beyond a doubt;

    Let us go back once more, O mind, to our own abode!


    Here in this foreign land of earth
    Why should we wander aimlessly in stranger's guise?
    These living beings round about, and the five elements;
    Are strangers to you, all of them; none is your own.
    Why do you thus forget yourself,
    In love with strangers, O my mind?
    Why do you thus forget your own?

    Ascend the path of Truth, O mind! Unflaggingly climb,


    With Love as the lamp to light your way.
    As your provision for the journey, bring with you
    The virtues, carefully concealed; for, like two highwaymen,
    Greed and delusion wait to rob you of your wealth.
    And keep beside you constantly,
    As guards to shelter you from harm,
    Calmness of mind and self-control.

    Companionship with holy men will be for you


    A welcome rest-house by the road;
    There rest your weary limbs awhile, asking your way,
    If ever you should be in doubt, of him who watches there.
    If anything along the path should frighten you,
    Then loudly shout the name of the Lord;
    For He is Ruler of that road,
    And even Death must bow to Him.

    O Lord, must all my days pass by so utterly in vain?


    Down the path of hope I gaze with longing, day and night.
    Thou art the Lord of all the worlds, and I but a beggar here;
    How can I ask of Thee to come and dwell within my heart?
    My poor heart's humble cottage door is standing open wide;
    Be gracious, Lord, and enter there but once, and quench its thirst!

    I salute the Eternal Teacher, who is the Embodiment of the Bliss of Brahman,
    The Essence of knowledge and liberation, the Giver of Supreme Joy;
    Who is all-pervading, like the ƖkƗĞa, and is the goal of the VedƗnta's teachings;
    Who is One, eternal, stainless, pure, and is the constant Witness of all things;
    Who dwells beyond all moods, transcending the three GunƗs.

    There is none, higher than the Guru, none better than the Guru;
    This is what ĝiva has declared.
    I shall sing of the blessed Guru, the Supreme Brahman;
    I shall worship the blessed Guru, the Supreme Brahman;
    I shall meditate on the blessed Guru, the Supreme Brahman;
    I shall bow down to the blessed Guru, the Supreme Brahman.

    Childhood you spent in crying, and youth in women's control;
    Now, in your old age, full of phlegm and wind,
    You wait for the funeral couch to bear you to the cremation ground.
    Within the musk-deer's navel the fragrant musk is found;
    But how can you make it understand?
    Without the proper teacher to guide him on his way,
    Man, too, is blindly roaming through the world,
    Deluded as the foolish deer that wanders round and round the woods.

    Even before I saw the light of this world, my sins from previous births,
    Through which I passed because of desire for the fruit of my deeds,
    Punished me as I lay in my mother's womb.
    There I was boiled in the midst of filthy things:
    Who can describe the pain that afflicts the child in its mother's womb?
    Therefore, O ĝiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu! forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

    In childhood my suffering never came to an end;


    My body was covered with filth and I craved for my mother's breasts.
    Over my body and limbs I had no control;
    I was pursued by troublesome flies and mosquitoes;
    Day and night I cried with the pain of many an ailment, forgetting Thee, O Sankara!
    Therefore, O ĝiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu! forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

    In youth the venomous snakes of sound, sight, taste, touch, and smell,
    Bit into my vitals and slew my discrimination;
    I was engrossed in the pleasures of wealth, sons, and a youthful wife.
    Alas! my heart, bereft of the thought of ĝiva,
    Was filled with arrogance and pride.
    Therefore, O ĝiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu! forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

    Now in old age my senses have lost the power of proper judging and acting;
    My body, though still not wholly bereft of life,
    Is weak and senile from many afflictions, from sins and illnesses and bereavements;
    But even now my mind, instead of meditating on ĝiva,
    Runs after vain desires and hollow delusions.
    Therefore, O ĝiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu! forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

    The duties laid down in the smriti-perilous and abstruse-are now beyond me;
    How can I speak of the Vedic injunctions for brahmins, as means for attaining Brahman?
    Never yet have I rightly grasped, through discrimination,
    The meaning of hearing the scriptures from the guru and reasoning on his instruction;
    How then can I speak of reflecting on Truth without interruption?
    Therefore, O ĝiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu! forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

    Not even once have I finished my bath before sunrise and brought from the Ganges
    Water to bathe Thy holy image;
    Never, from the deep woods, have I brought the sacred vilwa leaves for Thy worship;
    Nor have I gathered full-blown lotuses from the lakes,
    Nor ever arranged the lights and the incense for worshipping Thee.
    Therefore, O ĝiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu! forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

    I have not bathed Thine image with milk and honey, with butter and other oblations;
    I have not decked it with fragrant sandal-paste;
    I have not worshipped Thee with golden flowers, with incense, with camphor-flame and savoury offerings.
    Therefore, O ĝiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu! forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

    I have not made rich gifts to the brahmins, cherishing in my heart,


    O Mahadeva, Thy sacred form;
    I have not made in the sacred fire the million oblations of butter,
    Repeating the holy mantra given to me by my guru;
    Never have I done penance along the Ganges with japa and study of the Vedas.
    Therefore, O ĝiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu! forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

    I have not sat in the lotus posture, nor have I ever controlled
    The PrƗna along the Sushumna, repeating the syllable Om;
    Never have I suppressed the turbulent waves of my mind, nor merged the self-effulgent Om
    In the ever shining Witness-Consciousness, whose nature is that of the highest Brahman;
    Nor have I, in samƗdhi, meditated on Sankara, who dwells in every form as the Inner Guide.
    Therefore, O ĝiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu! forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

    Never, O ĝiva! have I seen Thee, the Pure, the Unattached, the Naked One,
    Beyond the three GunƗs, free from delusion and darkness, absorbed in meditation,
    And ever aware of the true nature of the world;
    Nor, with a longing heart, have I meditated on Thine auspicious and sin-destroying form.
    Therefore, O ĝiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu! forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

    O mind, to gain liberation, concentrate wholly on ĝiva,


    The sole Reality underlying the worlds, the Giver of good;
    Whose head is illumined by the crescent moon and in whose hair the Ganges is hidden;
    Whose fire-darting eyes consumed the god of earthly love; whose throat and ears are decked with snakes;
    Whose upper garment is a comely elephant-skin.
    Of what avail are all the other rituals?

    O mind, of what avail are wealth or horses, elephants or a kingdom?


    Of what avail the body or a house?
    Know all these to be but momentary and quickly shun them;
    Worship ĝiva, as your guru instructs you, for the attaining of Self Knowledge.

    Day by day does man come nearer to death;


    His youth wears away; the day that is gone never returns.
    Almighty Time devours everything;
    Fickle as lightning is the goddess of fortune.
    O ĝiva! O Giver of shelter to those that come to Thee for refuge!
    Protect me, who have taken refuge at Thy feet.

    I salute the ever auspicious ĝiva, the Home of Peace,


    Who sits in the lotus posture; who has five mouths and three eyes;
    Who holds in both His hands weapons and gong and drum;
    Who is bedecked with many an ornament;
    Whose skin is clear as crystal; who is Parvati's Lord.

    I salute the self-effulgent Guru of the gods, the Lord of Uma;


    I salute the Cause of the Universe;
    I salute the Lord of beasts, adorned with snakes;
    I salute ĝiva, whose three eyes shine like the sun, the moon, and fire;
    I salute the Beloved of Krishna; I salute Sankara, who bestows boons on His devotees and gives them shelter;
    I salute the auspicious ĝiva.

    O ĝiva! White is Thy body, covered with ashes; white shine Thy teeth when Thou smilest!
    White is the skull Thou holdest in Thy hand; white is Thy club, which threatens the wicked!
    White is the bull on which Thou ridest; white are the rings that hang from Thine ears!
    White appear Thy matted locks, covered with the form of the Ganges;
    White shines the moon on Thy forehead!
    May He who is all white, all pure, bestow on me the treasure of forgiveness for my transgressions!

    O ĝiva, forgive all the sins that I have committed


    With hands or feet, with words or body, with ears or eyes, with mind or heart;
    Forgive my sins, those past and those that are yet to come! Victory unto ĝiva, the Ocean of Compassion, the Great
    God, the Abode of Blessedness!

    I am consumed with false desires and wrapped in the sleep of lust: Save me, O
    Madhusudana!
    Thou art my only Refuge, Lord! I have no other salvation.
    I am entrapped in the mire of sin:
    O Madhusudana, redeem me!
    I am ensnared in the net of love for children, wife, and home:
    Save me, O Madhusudana!
    I am without devotion, helpless, smitten by wrong desire,
    Afflicted with grief and misery:
    O Madhusudana, redeem me!
    Lord, I have neither master nor place of shelter to call my own: Save me, O
    Madhusudana!
    Utterly wearied out am I by all this going and coming
    Along the endless road of life:
    O Madhusudana, redeem me!
    From this hard and unavailing journey through life and death,
    Save me, O Madhusudana!

    Many the births that I have seen in many a bodily form,


    And painful it is in the mother's womb:
    O Madhusudana, redeem me!
    To Thee I come for salvation out of the cycle of existence:
    Save me, O Madhusudana!
    For I am terrified alike of old age and of death:
    I come to Thee for shelter, Lord!
    O Madhusudana, redeem me!
    Never a good deed have I done, but many have been my sins:
    Save me, O Madhusudana!
    Headlong have I fallen into the mire of worldliness;
    Countless the births I have endured:
    O Madhusudana, redeem me!
    I have lorded it over men but happiness is not there:
    Save me, O Madhusudana!
    What my words have promised, my deeds have never carried out;
    Lord, I am full of wretchedness:
    O Madhusudana, redeem me!
    If as a man or a woman I must be born again and again-
    Save me, O Madhusudana!-
    May my devotion be unswerving to Thy feet, O Lord!
    From the delusion of this world,
    O Madhusudana, redeem me!

    O man, if you would live in bliss, repeat Lord Hari's name;
    Then you will lead a life of joy and go to paradise,
    And feed upon the fruit of moksha evermore:
    Such is the glory of His name!
    I give you the name of Hari, which Siva, God of Gods,
    Repeats aloud with His five mouths.

    Behold, the two brothers have come, who weep while chanting Hari's name,
    The brothers who, in return for blows, offer to sinners Hari's love!
    Behold them, drunk with Hari's love, who make the world drunk as well,
    Embracing everyone as brother, even the outcaste shunned by men.
    Behold, the two brothers have come, who once were Kanai and Balai of Braja.. . .

    High in the heaven of the Mother's feet, my mind was soaring like a kite,
    When came a blast of sin's rough wind that drove it swiftly toward the earth.
    Maya disturbed its even flight by bearing down upon one side,
    And I could make it rise no more.
    Entangled in the twisting string of love for children and for wife,
    Alas! my kite was rent in twain.
    It lost its crest of wisdom soon and downward plunged as I let it go;
    How could it hope to fly again, when all its top was torn away?
    Though fastened with devotion's cord, it came to grief in playing here;
    Its six opponents worsted it.
    Now Nareschandra rues this game of smiles and tears, and thinks it better
    Never to have played at all.
    +H VDQJ DJDLQ
    O Mother, for Yasoda Thou wouldst dance, when she called Thee her precious "Blue
    Jewel":
    Where hast Thou hidden that lovely form, O terrible Syama?
    Dance that way once for me, O Mother! Throw down Thy sword and take the flute;
    Cast off Thy garland of heads, and wear Thy wild-flower garland……

    The black bee of my mind is drawn in sheer delight


    To the blue lotus flower of Mother Syama's feet,
    The blue flower of the feet of Kali, Siva's Consort;
    Tasteless, to the bee, are the blossoms of desire.
    My Mother's feet are black, and black, too, is the bee;
    Black is made one with black! This much of the mystery
    My mortal eyes behold, then hastily retreat.
    But Kamalakanta's hopes are answered in the end;
    He swims in the Sea of Bliss, unmoved by joy or pain.
