Our source and our destiny

(1907)  Andhar sagarer parapare

On dark ocean's distant shore,
Who are You, oh the Glowing Avatar?
E'er cutting through obstructive walls,
Earth's denizens You make lustrous.

Those who were, those who are, what they have been thinking,
In a magic mirror, You see how much they are near.
In their thought's every metric, declining or billowy,
Everyone You make dance; You are the Embodiment of Rhythm.

Well-versed in prehistory, the endless Spokesperson,
There is not a single creature on Your exterior.
Inside of You all appear, and in You only they get merged,
Everybody as one; You are the Embodiment of Consciousness.
