Always a surprise



(3082)  Mananer kone elo kar se alo

Whose is that light which came inside of thinking;
And why today, do tell please.
It let heart's core be filled, moving away the ebony;
Who is He, all-pervading?

For such a long time, He had been in hiding;
For what reason did He come in front suddenly?
Mind, by many melodies infused,
With cadence became frenzied.

Any and all things is He able to do;
The world He creates from imagination's gloom.
By way of divine game He makes smile and He makes cry;
Is that why, entreated, He appeared?

A preference for non-carbonic



(3081)  Ei surabhita candana vane

To this same jungle of fragrant sandal,
Yourself Who did send?
If having come on just your own, you remain,
Then Whom does the mind crave, oh pray tell.

Tiger-controlled and snake-copious,
The sandal forest had been fearsome.
Dread withdrawn, it became ardent with love,
By which magic of enchantment.

Never it provided fruit, the sandal tree;
Fruitless, one has returned both hungry and thirsty.
By Your advent, it furnished all needs of the journey
From the dust of lotus feet, a ruddy red.

Is this purgatory or hell?



(3080)  Hemante jhara shishir vindute

In pre-winter like a dewdrop fallen,
What and why the mind craves, I know not.
Many times I want to go far away;
But I can't evade a jot.

Oh the yellow marigold, bloomed has it;
Oh the chrysanthemum, arisen has it.
On the white jasmine, felt has been a wind!
To stay at home, mind wishes not.

Oh where art Thou, my Heartthrob?
On Your account bitterly in vain I sob.
To figure out my anguish, can You not?
Even by end of autumn, why came You not?

All around me



(3079)  Sharada prate jhara shephaliite

On Autumn morn with night jasmine fallen,
Mind of mine goes on singing:
"Where are You, oh, You are where?"
The light of a new dawn, ebon having rid,
States: "Here am I, hey you, I'm here."

Under night's darkness, what went unobserved,
Neath the morning's light, it did not stay covered.
Everywhere You exist, at core of heart a lamp You've lit;
Yourself having witnessed, the eyes look thereto only.

At a mental niche hard to reach, You had been hidden,
Veiled by staticity, no perception given.
Then Your vibration came, far off went materialism;
Yourself in a fresh role did the mind perceive.

Lord, holding to the path had they moved,
All the ascetics; You now goad me on that way.
With rays of light illuminating, with truth unveiled,
Clinging to that path I'll go, renouncing shame.

Let there be a hundred pebbles, let all thorns remain;
Upon high-tide I will carry on, I'll not credit wane.
With only Your stream of thought, shedding just Your rays,
I will go on sailing, dressed however You'll array.

On Your path, Lord, there is not a trace of fear;
This be my only prayer: kindly grant a jot of mercy.
It will hew all deep attachment, doubt it will cleave;
With feet unwavering, doing Your deeds I'll remain.

Hard love is Your blessing

Musing on You I continue day and night;
Why remote You went and stayed?
Affection and hope of mine,
With ease You let be thrown away.

The moon in a heart gloomy,
In a desert, myrtle's honey,
But me You made cry exclusively;
What did You do by ruse of Cosmic Play?

Understanding You, onerous it is;
Thorn and flower, only both are a gift.
Without one, the other does not persist;
Through the gist of liila, what did You create?

Upon lower lip had been honey.

Affectionate sweetness conceives in excess
An ocean of love with a life ebullient.
Via rows of waves it obliterates the worldly;

At no place vacant space have You kept.
So through Your name, both asleep and awake,
A flame I ignite, fueled by dream.

On a scent of belá and júthi jasmines You float in;
Having called the mental bee, with rapture You grin.
Both drowsiness and darkness You rid;
Sweetness did You coat on mind.

Heart's crystal, resplendent You've made it.
Through cadence, song, and dance, You've been avid;
Lively is the memory that shines.

Many nights of fall and spring,
Many eves and many mornings,
He had been along, rhythm excited by,
Another song won't He sing!

He's made a game of joy and grief.
By stormy wind, by lightning strike,

Of a mountain, only You are the glacier;
Of an ocean, You're the deep abyss.
Whatever is and that which isn't,
In Your mind everything does sway...

Without You there is no one else
To whom the inmost secrets I tell.
Overlooking now all fear and shyness,
Inclined to take shelter I came...

The crimson hue is produced by You only.
In all qualities You are excelling;

With mind's stylish grace, close by take a seat.
Fascinating flute in hand, please smile sweetly;

Though that is not written inside chronicles.
Emitted in vain is a lot of eye-water

A divine atmosphere have You brought;
Upon Earth's dust You've poured out love.
To a mute mouth You've given dulcet tongue;
Resounding through the lips two, smiling.

The gemmed lamp that's never quenched.
Without sense, foolish we cry nonetheless,
Blindfolded and cooped up in dwelling.

Only a song's melody came floating;
Into my mind did it come.
It gave a jolt to the psyche;
I know not the reason.

Wrapped in dust had been that mind of mine;
To remote place its wings could not fly.
Coated had they been by low thought trite,
But to the far sky they do soar.

Confined at home had been my thought;
Restrictive ties broken, it sails far off.
To rhythm and melody dances a bird caged up;
He goes flying toward the Only One.

Love's luster set aside the threat.

A tune in the river, dulcet notes in arbor.
With a lyre's jingle is the mind's pavilion;

Explaining what is understood does not work;
As much as heard, it is not learned.
Sweetness golden, in a cage it does not endure;
All of it floats away, stream of memory alike.

Tale of mine, did You not hear it?

(3036)  Eso prabhu eso mor mane gopane

Come Lord, come into my mind secretly.
None will know, none will see, this same visit;
By ear, none will ever hear.

A shrine have I bedecked in mind, cleansed by tears,
With sandal fragrance raising a scent sweet.
A psyche with collection motley, with flowers diverse aplenty,
Pouring out sweetness zealously.

Rain I've kept forgetting, I've forgotten year and season;
Of You I have thought day and night, evening and dawn.
You draw me adjacent, all delusion having torn,
Cogitation rectifying.

My consolation prize



(3035)  Durer parii surer tarii

Fairy from a remote place, melody's boat
Did You set afloat, taking difficulty.
To an unknown somewhere it floats on,
Not intimating anything.

With You my relationship
Is not a two- or four-day topic.
You had been and I had been,
Surpassing time's frontier.

As You had been, so You abide;
With new tunes, You've inspired.
Me though You've cast far aside;
Through a stream of tears.

By Your sweet mercy



(3034)  Bhuloke dyuloke tomar pulake

In realms worldly and divine, at Your delight,
A speck of mercy goes a-floating;
It goes floating, and it goes on floating.
A new moon, twixt moonlight and thirst of deer,
Between the dew and snow it's flashing.

At times by enticement, at times by enterprise,
At times on stream of tears, at times on a smile,
Having made to race in dance frenzy-wild,
It makes one swoon, orbiting Infinity.

Splendor mid the gloom, refuge of the helpless;
In a heart pain-stricken, love's ascertainment.
In pleasure a sweet memory, in woe forgetfulness,
Having brought unto Earth ambrosia aplenty.
