Victory of Dharma is an ordinary thing

(3546) Prabhat eseche aji nutana rupe

Today in a new form has come the morning
Upon eastern mountain^[1] with tidings of novelty.
In love's direction is dogma's lethargy
Cast aside to satisfy a lotus smiling.

All through the night everyone had yearned for
A golden splendor at the end of gloomy ebon.
There's not any restlessness or drunken celebration;
With a silent ecstasy is gaining reddish, tender leaves.

By war have gone amok the creatures of darkness;
That a sweet world might be they did not yen.
But one day this mistake they will forget;
In a new universe with the dawn's inventiveness,
Petty is it at this daybreak in the bud of psyche.

Through my pain

(3545) Tomake smariya tomake cahiya

Yourself remembering and craving Thee,
My worship, floating does it go.
You did not arrive, You did not pity me;
Why did You not fathom pain, much to my sorrow?

I have been journeying from the Beginningless,
On a stream of newness more than novel...
To go on mingling with Endless Unlimited,
Beneath Your bottle-green, cordial shadow.

I keep working, contemplating only You;
By just Your luster, Your portrait I view.
What is and what is not, You are all, I conclude;
In ways a hundredfold, You have been exposed.

Hope springs eternal

(3544) Ajanay chile jana majhe ele

In the unknown You had been, amid the known You appeared;
Nonetheless, how much have I learned?
When as much as I know, that much I do not discern,
A form of ignorance I have augmented.

The cloud's ebony, a flower's sweet scent,
Mountain's greatness, in life good they're felt.
Mind goes on contemplating, limit it finds not;
Why of these especially, fond have I been?

I observed You not, proximate I didn't discover;
I was unable to adorn You upon the mind's altar.
And yet in a hundred manners hope races on
To entice You adjacent, close by to allure.

You reached out to me

(3543) Kavosna prabhate kundala girite

On a lukewarm morning, earring in hills,
Oh the Enchanting One, You did appear.
At my mental alcove, by a sweet and gentle wind
Having made a stir, You gave multicolored beauty.

Through excitement and anxiety, You are unparalleled;
The Root of Existence, You make all things vibrated.
An abysmal fire dangles from just Your lotus petals;
For both known and unknown, You're the Eternal Mind-Thief.

My own self had I relinquished,
Adrift in matter's stupor, its dark magic.
Today by Your kindness awakening glows;
You alone do I crave, beyond reach of mind-sense-speech.

In my time of need

(3542) Tomake vijane ceyechilum

Yourself in seclusion I had wanted,
But You'd been in global meets; I got not solitary.
In my mind every moment I'd imagined
If sight be attained, in heart I will take and cling.

I've forgotten age, I've forgotten days auspicious;
Crying have I gotten through many nights long.
For Your sake, I have sung so many songs;
With simple and guile-free mind, absent fear.

Today, neath gale and thunderstorm on this black night
Struck by lightning, when tremulous becomes the mind,
Then You came nigh, surrendered at this lonely site–
My psychic paradise, made palpitating.

Totally astonishing

(3541) Aloker dyuti tava pradiipti

Your splendor is the luster of light rays;
On a solar carriage You continue sailing.
You are God, and I'm Your atom;
Myself You infuse with intense vitality.

Everything that had been and what had not been there,
What goes on remaining and what does not persevere,
In everyone's converse is the Supreme's cognition;
You are the Deity, to dance You make everybody.

With both fire and air is Your sanctifying grace;
At root of kush and kash is Your resting place.
Proximity's atom and the remote nebula,
By Your contemplation, everyone You drive crazy.

Baba Nam Kevalam

(3540) Tomare ceyechi kusumasuvase

With a sweet floral scent Yourself have I desired;
From a breast broken by a sigh.
You're the Kaostubha gem, a diamond quarry
In dismay of desert pangs.

Beginningless and endless, within liila's confines,
Myself perplexed, You make dance, make laugh and cry.
At finish of the day You then pull me nigh
On mind-sky of awareness, ever and always.

Your equivalent, there is not anybody;
In the universe, I don't find a second entity.
And so I proclaim many a ten-million greetings
In Your proximity, with Your Holy Name.
