So far and yet so near

(3812) Tumi marma majhe rayecho

Amid core of heart You have stayed... So remote, Lord, distantly. To eyelids You want not to permit holding; You are seated at the inmost dwelling. Having searched temple and shrine, I found not Thee; I found You not at foot of five sacred trees. And yet, stir You give to psyche; light's cradle You sway... This game divine, who can savvy? Amidst both known and unknown do You be, And You have gone on staying in a churned I-feeling. Except by removing You, the 'I' is not existing... My whole life You've persevered.

Love for the sake of love

(3811) Bhalabesechile tumi amay

Doted had You on me; In exchange naught did You ask for. What I have given, myself to Thee, In the least You took not that stuff. The moon proceeds, moonlight having poured; It does not evaluate action right or wrong. Endlessly You went on dispensing love; You did not think if it be frivolous. At monsoon peak flooded is a screwpine stamen; Smiles it on a night of ebon flawless. Your kindly affection on a lovely firmament, Neath comet strikes it did not halt.

I don't get it

(3810) Tumi bahirvishve rayecho

In the outer world You've remained; You are also at my core. So for whom do You go on making sport; By ever seeking, why am I overwrought? Only what is not desired You go on requiring; What is not wished by me You ask from me only. On a stream of exigency in the realm of thought, To Your work myself You draw. What's not done, that only You go on doing; You give value to a puny me. By knowledge and action churning core, In a hundred garbs You adorn. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

You love me, that I know

(3809) Bhalabesechile jani

You had loved, oh it I ken; To my home why came You not? I did not forget You had pledged; Why the promise You kept not? Even now an alpana at gate is there; For Your sake decorated is my dwelling. Still Your arm-band's on my tress presently; The garland strung, upon neck You took not. Psyche's lamp, even today it is blazing; Still has stayed both wick and ghee. On eyes have floated hope's entreaties, But my way You gaze not. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Lord, please take me as I am

(3808) Jeo na thako kache

Do not go, remain nearby, Amid this wee psyche mine. Washed, wiped, and bedecked I've kept To catch Your every enterprise. Hey Darling, You're the Unseen Deity, The Cosmic Director, fit to be revered. Don't forget me, keep in mind; Closer than close in death, in life. I've dwelt in ego, mind-stuff, intellect; In all of them I've sought Yourself. Don't be displeased; In form, in dress, it's You I desire. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

In utmost ecstasy

(3807) Tomar asate he priya cakite

Upon Your coming, hey Darling instantly, You removed the gloom of new-moon night. Wherever it had been, with perception came: The load of ego went away at same time. Beholding You at core of psyche, Satisfied my thought became At nectar-lake inside and out, by Your presence craved. Any and all deficit, whatever state of strife, Obeisance they announced at feet Thine. Having not a trace of fear, wholly fatigue-free, The mind-stuff was without stain. Carefree I've become; shame I've forsaken, forgot hate. How to fetch I know not, but I don't accept ties; A blessing has remained upon pate of mine. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

At the beginning

(3806) Nirguna ambare dambaru saincare ambudarci sama

In sky with no attributes, a damru roams like rain resplendent, Oh my Lord of G-O-D,[1] the day You awakened. At that time, there'd not been any distinction; There'd been no embellishment, no decoration of form. A bird's chirping or a leaf's rustle, There had been nothing, hey the Peerless One. Then came bloom, fruit, and water, arrived sweetness; Came the human psyche and nectar's refinement. Came everything that is good, vanished all that's black; Unto each heart You did yield, hey the Unrivaled One. Sarkarverse article Audio recording
