The Divine awaits

(3827) Mahaniiradhir opar hate

From the far side of the Great Sea, Which is that strange melody comes floating? Breaking ramparts of opposing danger, To touch my soul, it enters ear. In courtship, neath the crimson rays at morning, With floral pollen the tune of a place remote it sings. Having risen solitary in a mental cranny hard to reach, It goes on saying that He holds me dear. After evening prayers, at fall of night, Myself it tells: "Barricade rending, do arrive! I am waiting... I have brought a golden time; That moon's smile mingles with all Deity." Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Please appear

(3826) Ogo prabhu amar ghare

Oh Lord, to my dwelling Won't You come, way mistaking? Go in vain will a strung wreath; Will fruitless prove the rice painting? A song have I composed, melody I've practiced; Love's offering I have embellished. In a psychic niche privately, I've kept a jeweled lamp blazing. My lute-strings of mind Keep on singing mantra Thine. I am an instrument, and You, the Instrumentalist; Tenderly, will You take, elevating? Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Your liila

(3825) He prabhu tomar liila, ke bujhite pare balo

Hey Lord, Your Divine Play, Who can understand, pray tell please. In the vastness of space it floats on thought, Like an ocean overflowing. In outer space, on water, or onshore, At foot of a tree or upon mountain, In a string of waves or in meteor flames, In phases of the moon, moving. A making-and-breaking Mayic game, A sorrow heap, a pleasure fair, It gets witnessed absent strain: Life's lotus with laughter and tears. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Thinking of You never grows old

(3824) Tumi rajar raja madhuriite bheja

You are the King of Kings, in sweetness steeped; You have no peer. Mid perfume in fruit and bloom, as a bud appearing, Consciousness Personified, sense everlasting. In gemmed necklace of thinking, the One befitting love, An enduring treasure, with hearing's essence of ambrosia. Ever golden in sustained contemplation, The modulation of inmost feelings. You're the jingling sound on lute strings; You are Pranav sounded by the Cosmic Puppeteer... The quintessence that's all-pervading, Import of intellect's surmising.

Stereotype

(3823) Nayane kena ke jane enkechilo se

Who knows why He had traced upon eyes Only love's coloration. Ah, today, proclaims that fact the air of springtime; It is psyche's recreation. Who is that Playful One, woe He does not realize; Which is that hardhearted One, eyes He does not wipe? He speaks from afar, nearby He does not arrive; Yourself each moment I love. I've recognized Him, with Him I have been acquainted; On the mental mirror I've beheld. I've understood that One Enlightened, He is in my I-sensation. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Beyond beginning and end

(3822) Tomare deke deke tomare manane rekhe

Having kept thinking of You, ever calling You, My days pass in sorrow and happiness. You are refuge of the helpless, a world's best ruler; Yourself the mental bee wants to get. On every mote You smile; upon a dark eye-balm You ride; The indigent You prize; to wealth You don't arrive. Your divine play is hard to comprehend. At beginningless You are first; at endless You gambol unspied; Splendor on heaven You have poured, with thrill You've stayed in life. By Your smiling light, love's joy flashes.

Unity

(3821) Tomakei bhalabasi amra

You alone do we hold dear; On Your path we travel, Your words we tell; In Your contemplation are we reared. High or low, small or large, we don't count a difference; We know all are bound by a single love-thread... To the invitation of the One, everybody listens; You are the Polestar, our target exclusively. Personal independence and collective cognition; Recollection of the One and sin-prevention... By their synthesis is the banyan of affection; Heaven upon Earth, only awakened we bring. Sarkarverse article Audio recording
