Omnitranscendent

(3156)  Tumi mahesh tumi mahesh

You are Mahesh, the God of gods;
You are Hari, the Sin-Thief.
I pay salutation to Thee.
Yourself, sincerely I receive;
I am catching hold of Your feet.

By light of day You alone are a bosom friend;
Under the night's ebon, the flame of a lantern.
Within the heart in fascinating attire,
You laugh and dance, filling me.

Your coming and then going, it does not happen;
The limits of time, defeat they acknowledge.
With each tune blown on a reed pipe,
In another time, a boat You send floating.

What a fool!

(3155)  Ami tomay nahi jani

Yourself I don't realize;
Master, You know me.
To You the Huge I don't pull nigh;
Great, myself I go on making.

My life, ringed by limits given,
Is filled with distinctions of own and other.
Your world, the door is unrestricted;
No bolt can persevere.

I come and go here over and over
To manifest my own chronicle.
Having stayed engrossed in endless deeds,
You don't say all You go on doing.

Why can't I remember Thee?

(3154)  Manke niye eki liila

With the mind such a sport
You have gone on making every moment.
"The mind, it's mine", with this same thought,
Night and day I am in existential torment.

This mind of mine is Your award;
Your merit alone is the source of these notions.
Having gone to stay, Yourself forgotten,
In life I'm insensate, matter-mingled.

Within You is language, on You is ideation;
For Your sake only are the tears and laughter.
Your song is the song celestial;
Let the nectar emanate in secret.

Nymphs are His agents

(3153)  Acin deshe bhave bhese

Floating on imagination, from an unknown country,
That apsara, she had come.
Pleased was she on the sky of psyche,
She had smiled, a honeyed fascination.

She removed the bleakness all;
Waves of light she made pour.
Through fire flame and gentle breeze,
The path she showed to everyone.

Said You: "I am for everybody;
Let none abide in darkness gloomy.
Still today, the light she lit up,
With you did it go on staying."

My query

(3152)  Kotha hate asi kotha jai bhasi

From where do I come, whereto am I floating off–
This topic of "where" please inform me.
The source I know not, terminus I don't behold–
Traveling am I upon which sea?

Naught I know regarding my own times of old;
I cannot realize the future also.
Past and future in between,
Who goes on goading me.

In the universe, free of cause is nothing;
Lord, the cause is stored in Your psyche.
What am I, kindly tell me please,
On the ocean-of-time's pebble-beach.

Defeat has a bright side

(3151)  Shukno patara krame jhare jay

The dry leaves, regularly they get shed;
From the fresh and tender leaves exudes laughter.
Having come new and unhurt, they stand erect;
Lost to a remote place the old ones are defeated.

The tender reddish leaves, green they become;
The grass green, yellow-hued become it does.
In the universe transpiring is a color-game,
Comes crying for a moment, goes where lighthearted?

Upon the earth nothing colored is retained;
Morning sun's crimson glow will surely go away.
Only You had been, are at present, ever will remain;
In consequence, at Your foot I took shelter.

In me are You...

(3150)  Tumi caracarer priya

Of all created You are dearly prized,
Hey Lord and Master mine.
You exist in fire and wind;
Circling all You have been.
Only You are everybody's source.

In hidden fashion lone are You;
The multitudes You dwell amid.
In heaven and in hell, with quirks You're infused at birth,
Oh the Inner Spirit of everyone.

People think: "I achieve;
I achieve, with family."
But I am Yours, oh the Foot-dust Thief;^[1]
This "I" is a bubble of Your compassion.
