Mission accomplished

(3359) Ei shubha arunodaye ele

On this same propitious sunrise You arrived;
You exuded light.
Having dissolved new moon's mountain, the gloom set aside,
Upon the mental mirror You did smile.

The weight of earthly pain You let me leave behind;
With unshaken state of awareness, You vanquished mind.
From seed to a great tree by thought's ascending rise,
Myself You enticed.

Many times in many forms You have appeared, Lord;
An expedition hundred-edged, never did it pause.
With desire impeccable, with motive inconceivable,
You addressed my plight.

I am not blind

(3358) Tumi amay bhalo baso, bujheo ami ta bujhi na

Myself You hold dear;
Even having grasped, that I fathom not.
Neath a crimson light You smile sweetly;
Even having seen, at any time I see it not.

On nights of gloom light's stanchion
To show me the path You are.
At morn, like a fall of splendor,
You go on singing, but that too I hear not.

The messenger of only novelty,
You are never obsolete.
In thought's realm, glittering,
Though knowing You, why do I know not?

Spring is in the air

(3357) Praneri ujane chande gane

On my life's upstream course, with cadence and song,
Lord, kindly do arrive at psyche's pavilion.
My darkness has kept me pervaded with fog;
By intonation, that you dispose of.

The wind carries a scent of lotus;
Snared by infatuation, I have staved it far off.
You opened my eyes, You removed the obstruction,
With this day's newly risen sun.

Ashok and palash trees sway on Falgun's hammock;^[1]
With springtime abir is a gala multi-colored.
A painted earth new garments today has worn;
Having come, the mind You please adorn.

With everybody happy

(3356) Bhavo bhule giye jata vyathabhar

Forgetting all the load of pain, contemplate
The gaiety on this same earth only.
Like an eye-cosmetic its love does trace,
View with a light-ray of new sensibility.

In the kadam grove a peacock is dancing
To the horizon's golden dream.
The whole universe has gotten whelmed, is in concert
With both thought and thinking, instantly.

The gates of mind are opening;
In accord, merged have thought, language, and melody.
With a singular will and singular inspiration,
Everyone and everything floats away upon one stream.

Absolutely necessary

(3355) Kanu binu thaka nahi jay

Staying without Kanu^[1] does not succeed;
The One Who glitters within heart is He.

Day and night His reed pipe,
Every moment penetrating life,
Tells me: "Cherish do I,
And so I summon thee."

My Jamuna of existence,
By only His rumination overwhelmed,
Contending with a mist dark and dense,
In a hundred ways it races upstream.

Am I in Heaven?

(3354) Ei madhu nisha jena na phuray

So this same honeyed night may not cease,
That it might not disappear,
With argent moon at peak of moonlight,
Mind goes on surging.

Love had been replete inside the mind;
Nevertheless existence found no springtime.
Sweet night came and gained You prompt;
In mood is fondness fainting.

From Your smile a pearl did drop;
By Your flute deluged the sky got.
With rhythm and song You arrived in every life,
The earth with Heaven blending.

Just see

(3353) Alor shatadal phuteche

A luminous lotus has blossomed
In a large and deep lake ebon,
Gloomy night's restless craving's
Curtain in back of.

The hope of God for unit psyche:
He will make home in your mind only.
He will lavish His fond doting,
Per just your disposition.

Light of the endless domain,
Hold color, the lake's breast it made.
All of the blackness, it went away
In a single moment short.
