On far shore of time's ocean, hard-to-cross,
You had roused, You had wakened.
What had been night dark as pitch, it went out the exit
In an instant by some power of mantra.
That which had not been did come;
With a throbbing vigor it was.
Life surged with dance-song;
Mid the hush, a message You delivered.
To the inert came awareness, progress and prosperity appeared;
Earth got filled with laughter and with glee.
Out of endless kindness, measureless sense of kinship,
You bound everybody with sacred thread of love.

By the power vested in me
Friday, January 7, 2022
And yet
Which was that age of yore when You'd appeared?
I have forgot its day and its moment...
They've sunk to the floor of some pit very deep;
Only the yoke of memory has been preserved.
That hoary past, there is no record scribed in history,
In any adumbration, in any line of writing on a leaf.
Those ancient times, they're kept alive in the mind only;
Made wet by tears is affection's necklace.
The ancient past, once again it won't come back;
Flower-filled won't return affectionate assemblage.
But You will just persist, kissing both the sky and earth;
And that's why I bow to You many times, myriad.

His ambit
With temperate air neath twilight's welkin,
At my mind, Who are You that came in?
I could not identify, I could not realize
For what reason... I could not fathom it.
With respect to myself I'd become inattentive;
Hidden was guarded my every blemish.
All my feelings I see that You perceive;
Everything is in range of Your notice.[1]
I understood that nothing gets concealed;
Secret thoughts move on unto Your ear.
In the realm of everyone, both inner and outer,
You've remained, at mind's pleasure garden.

He never leaves
In front of each and everybody, You hold out a light;
Through knowledge intellectual, knowing You does not arise.
When I think that wise I've gotten,
Then I see that I'm in darkness.
Through surrender do I grasp: You are in the mind.
On a night of sorrow amid burning flames,
With mourning and with grief, with a heart pained,
Having been invited I behold: You are in mode clandestine.

Another option
If You do not hold me dear,
No harm is there; just please come nigh.
And if in my humble abode You don't take a seat,
Then simply having set Your feet, gently smile.
For You, Lord, inside heart all remain yearning;
And I too crave only that, with humility.
If to my supplication You don't listen, then just
Having come nigh say to me: "I love you not, even a mite!"
From life to life, with songs aplenty,
I'll stay merged in only Your reverie.
These words to speak, I won't be able:
"Sit You in my meditation, I don't desire."

His dependents
Lord, You are the Everlasting Entity;
By Your grace all others exist.
In Your color and Your form, in Your love,
At Your dispatch everybody dances.
The lamp of life You keep lighting;
Decked You've kept a tray of floral offerings.
Perplexed by melancholy or smiling in happiness,
By way of Your kindness everybody lives.
Hey Master, forever You are with us;
At core of a tiny heart, You are enormous.
On thunderclap, in frenzied wind,
All pray for Your fearlessness.

Egomania
Only neath Your love's effulgence
Knowing You and fathoming succeed.
Scientific intellect, it has no effect;
Everything comes by Your kind mercy.
As much as creatures may know, hedged is their knowledge;
In a vessel restricted is intelligence also restricted.
But You are eternal, Your everything is beyond limit,
Vibrant with implicit meaning.
As such, what reason for vanity; why oh why stay oblivious?
What motive to conceal one's own ignorance with verbiage?
Through Your effulgence cognition You waken within people,
Consciousness personified by Your sympathy.
