Hope's passage

(2292)  Path bendhe dile e kii bhalabasa

Composing the path, this love is great and strange,^[1]
Full of hope's light-rays.
A mind that was unreined,
Sense of self it lost today.

I am the flashing of a small and puny atom,
Day and night I sway between hope and desperation;
But being loved by the distillate of kindness,
In mind comes fresh flow of strength...

Hope's surfeit, when that is provided,
On a trifling 'I', ambrosia, it gets coated;
Then by insight, love's splendor filled,
The gloomy dark, jam-packed it's made...

Let us meet

(2291)  Tomare cai je kache manera majhe

Amid the mind, that near I want Thee;
Staying far, how hard it is.
In every occupation, I think about You shyly,
In seclusion having waited.

All the petals in a tiny grove of psyche,
When they had been burgeons unfolding,
Then from the bud of me,
A golden vigor, it spills over.

Come still closer, oh my Darling;
Honey in heart is replete.
Flowers have bloomed in many hues varied,
The floral garden is embellished.

Life's goal is clear

(2290)  Shukla akashe sumanda vatase

Upon a clear sky, with an air sweetly mild,
Him heart craves repeatedly,
Upon a clear sky.
Effusive mind heeds no constraint;
Always it hies to Him only.

Every day and date, they became one;
With thought of just Him they did hum.
All desire and achievement, every give and take,
In one voice, only His victory they sing.

With sportive chains, Who are You, oh Master mine;
From far away, with floral thread, my love You do bind.
I cannot forget the existential effort to attain;
From birth to beyond grave it flashes like lightning.

Am I ready yet?

(2289)  Timir shese alor deshe

In the realm of light at end of gloom,
Hey Master, surrender and grant embrace.
Myself abandoning, where left You to?
Do speak with me, the tale relate.

From constantly traveling I am footsore;
Musing on You in a stupor is my thought.
My vanity, it's gotten lost;
Onto lap please lift me, take me and elevate.

I've heard that You are merciful,
Strewing grace throughout the world.
Upon Your every vessel, hey Avatar of Consciousness,
With light of awareness, face smiling, kindly gaze.

I give up

(2288)  Tomake kache peyeo cena day

Even having found You nigh, it is hard to recognize,
It is hard to recognize, hard to recognize.
Tenderly You smile, You tell: "I do love";
But Your mentality one simply cannot realize.

Whenever I think knowing You I've achieved–
I've deduced Your psyche–
I see what You made happen by a trick of liila:
Pain drips in a stream flowing from both eyes.

Non-essential I've forgot, the essence I am grasping;
Defeat by Your liila I am acknowledging.
At this time I've just kept on asking:
Pardoning frailty, to me please be kind.

Not a game

(2287)  Bhalor ceyeo bhalo je tumi

Better than superb are You;
You go on giving love.
All that's ebon You consume;
No sport do You wish to perform.

There are many defects, misdeeds are there;
And everything is known to Thee.
Affection in conception, all of them wittingly
With honey You envelop.

Never did I achieve any chore assigned;
Through no work, Lord, did I ever satisfy.
By stroke of grace have I come here;
Kindly take me and reform.

On the brink

(2286)  Ele bujhi aji shyamaray

Perhaps now You arrived, Dark Prince,^[1]
A bamboo pipe by ear gets heard.

On bank of mind's Jamuna, I await, watching the path;
All and sundry come and go, but none of them look back.
Alone I've come, alone I've gone on staying;
Woe is me, You are remote, hey Longtime Companion.

Upstream won't it flow, the Jamuna once more?
Realized won't it be, the keen desire for love?
Away You've kept me; You've been thinking of what else?
You make sport with light and umbra.
