(32) Ucatana mana na mane barana
| My avid mind acknowledges no barriers— It only wants to go toward Him. Why oh why such a desire? Pollen blanketing the earth, chirping in the bower, The days of honey gone by— With all the sweetness in my mind, Still I lose myself in Him. There were so many words, so many thoughts, So many unvoiced wounds to my pride— Today, with all that blending together, Why do I still rush toward Him? |

Baba's exposition:
There are so many charms, so many objects of fascination on this earth; but the accumulated force of all these sweet worldly attractions is far less than the attraction for Paramapuruśa. Before this supreme attraction all other worldly attractions fade. The mind wants a closer affinity to Him; and no charms, no attractions, no fascinations of this mundane world can create any obstacles on the path. Now there remains the eternal question: why is the cosmic attraction so powerful and irresistible? Why is the call of the Great so great?
