Omnipresent



(583)  Maner majhare base gopan katha shono

Seated inside mind You hear secrets;
Not a single thing stays hidden.
You've spread Yourself out endlessly;
Nothing's beyond Your periphery.

A tiny grain of sand, a very petty thought—
Even of them You aren't oblivious.

Far-flung galaxies and the outmost stars—
Even from them You do not keep apart.

With a flower petal newly blown on a Spring forgotten,
With an ocean wave lapping upon some long-ago horizon—
I am failing to conceive where You don't exist;
Away from You, nothing can subsist.
