What is happening?

(3428) Tumi kabhu kandao kakhano hasao

Sometimes You make cry, sometimes laugh You cause;
What You fancy, I can't comprehend.
Sometimes You observe, other times You ignore;
Having pondered liila, I go on, become speechless.

Summer's bracing jui garland,
Juthika wetted by monsoon exudation,
And the night jasmine smiling upon dusk of Autumn,
Why You bring; the answer I don't get.

By the pre-winter's pallid-pleasant quality,
By wintry inertia honed and quivering,
By the springtime's floral beauty;
What You keep telling, that I only guess.

My rock and my house

(3427) Ami bhalabesechi tomake

Yourself I have cherished;
I've nobody else.
You are my bud of psyche,
Heart's ambrosial essence.

At the auspicious rise of dawn You endure;
Hidden in the morning star You observe.
Life You coat with love's pollen;
Sorrow's weight You dispel.

At initial footfall You had been;
The whole world, You're pervasive.
Extending the hand on day of finish,
Please go on, my being held.

Ultimately

(3426) Prabhu tumi kata dure

Lord, how far You are,
I cannot perceive.
Having come close, You go and withdraw;
I don't understand this activity.

I hold on to You, I try;
Both scripture and philosophy study I.
With my store atomic, rapt in meditation,
I practice the sadhana of Thee.

My whole life, calling I carry on,
Having clung to hope after expectation.
Hey the Sportive One, e'er Wisdom Personified,
Your kindness I entreat.

You come today

(3425) Aj sakale alor saje

Today at morning in light's clothing,
You arrived amid the psyche.
Song unsung You went on singing;
Asunder You broke the cliff hindering.

I had craved internally:
I will get You secretly.
You and I, we two will be
Tucked away under a tree.

So happened what I had imagined;
I received You in pleasure's garden.
By arbor's kohl ambrosial smeared,
Affection did You make stream.
You left telling that You will reach
When invoked wholeheartedly.

And so I did not see

(3424) Tumi na bale ele na bale gele, sakali liilar chale

You came not telling, left not telling,
All only by liila's trickery–
Like that betwixt sunshine and a frost wintry,
From the sight of time concealed.

Delightful is Your sweetness overflowing,
Like a moonlit night on waters of the sea–
It delivers yearning for that, incessant;
To Earth's surface, a love-stream.

So many games do You know, oh the Sportive Lord;
You are Wisdom's Avatar, screened from everyone.
Everybody's very own and deeply compassionate,
In this whole universe, the Dearest Darling.

Everyone first

(3423) Manavatake khanda kare

Human-ness fragmented,
What will be the human benefit?
What exists, that too will not persist;
It will also poison the cosmic wind.

The sun is never a fragment;
Nor a fragment, the dawn's loveliness.
A fragment human, piece molecular,
With ruin's seed it will be filled.

Time will elapse with a speed fiercely rapid;
An ocean of flames, overflow it will.
A floral garland and love's wicker basket,
They'll become the heap of ashes.

Transcendental

(3422) Katha jadi na kahile kena

When You spoke not, what's the reason,
Why Yourself You did reveal,
Why not stayed behind a screen?
I'd been waiting with much hope;
Having come, You increased despondency.

Stored had been much expectation;
So much ego-interest had been left undone.
At my mental room bejeweled,
Sparkle afforded disappeared.

Threadbare went the garland strung;
The song rehearsed came to naught.
Unheard was psyche's speech;
Beyond desire You were concealed.
