Proof of Being

(3520) Je tomare ceyeche sei kendeche

Who has longed for You, only they have wept;
I don't comprehend such amazing method.
Through a flood of tears, Yourself inwardly we get;
This too, is it love?

Life goes on flowing, a Sutlej River with hundred streams;
Meteor, thunderbolt, and mountain don't hinder its going.
Except for You, none else remains at its lead;
To it You provide rapid motion.

Its sorrow and joy, jumbled they go on becoming;
In the jewelbox of psyche, no distortion perseveres.
Nebula or drop of dew, there remains no study;
Merged into one, the many songs.

Never hapless

(3519) Tumi atandra krsna vibhavariite

On the dark night You are sleepless;
You diffused effulgence.
A thunderbolt on dense stone-matter,
Moonlight You exuded.

From body, speech, mind, and spirit,
What by thought's ascent I could not offer,
In a wink exactly that You made off with,
By amazing strength mantric!

There is nothing that's not in Your custody;
I find You alone as the gist of every entity.
In worship are You, You're the Revered and votary;
You dance through the ruse of Liila.

Comes the Spring

(3518) Nava kishalaye kusumavalaye

Around the budding flowers by fresh green leaves:
A bit of subtlety adorned;
I'm aware Chaitra did come.
With dew of grass and a lute's jingling,
I convey life's message.

Today, wintry inertia has left;
Psyche has forgotten its cleft wretchedness.
Awakening, love's liveliness has arisen;
From the core of heart I attract everyone.

Losing its color underneath snow heaps,
Earth has wept in a form with no leaves.
Today in song it invites the Honeybee;
Its hand is ever dextrous.

Utopia

(3517) Ganeri mayaloke

In my song's magic realm,
Who are You that calls,
Myself You call,
Day and night, every moment;
You don't ever pause.

For You there's no afternoon or morn;
Of evening or dawn, no consideration.
Endless and immense love and affection,
You maintain in heart.

You're my Love since time eternal;
Please rid me of all fault.
Myself receive, Yours do cause;
At core of heart You are.

Let it show

(3516) Kali balechilo ali kena

A bud had asked why the bumblebee
Unto my vicinity never He comes.
Away He goes flying to a rose garden;
Why does He not gaze in my direction?

I am always getting ready;
In my thinking I accrue honey.
In absence of thought, I remain head stooping;
Nonetheless I do not forget my Love.

A gentle petal swoons due to shyness;
Delicacy blooms with affection of pollen.
From attraction, in raga and tune it sings an anthem;
It does not hide the banner of cognition.

You invite

(3515) Tomar priitir parash je pelo

One who got touch of Your love,
E'er thereafter that can she forget?
She cannot, she cannot.
With moonlight upon blue sky it stays blended;
Does mind of a goose get sated in the nest?

You've remained in every pore,
As naught You've kept impervious.
You have been infusing light inside atoms;
Heavenly luster imbues the pollen.

You've been hid beyond the reach of cogitation;
What I do not even think, that too You have thought.
You've preserved above times good or inauspicious,
In form of Consciousness Embodied, a lightray immense.

Ask and you shall attain

(3514) E prabhat prabhu tomari krpay

By only Your grace, Lord, this morning
Coruscates a crimson light.
The night, veiling with gloomy darkness,
Had kept up, but in a moment went aside.

The Unknown's ambrosial essence, love's exudation–
Afloat on the southern wind, honey of a blossom.
A sweetly smiling sensation's blissful cognition
Had traced the forehead's sandal stripe.

On geese-flight wings, day comes and leaves;
A stir do memories of yore continue giving.
Who asks Him about getting and not getting
The bounds of vibrated life?
