O Lord, You told me You would return,but You did not do so.Please tell me why.The petals of the floral garlandthat once was in my hand,alas, are now covered by the earth's dust.

O Unmerciful One!What is this game of Yours?Is it a new play of cheating in love?

You went away,yet, day and night,You remain ever awake in my mindwhy is this so?

No matter how much I try to forget You,I am unable to forget You.Wherever I look at,the reflection of Your memory shines forth.

Why did You tie me unto Youwith a jingling melody,using the strings of my psychic lyre?

The sudden and gusty wind keeps on raising its call.It moves along a far and unknown path.

Tell me why You have kept me tied?Please pause a while on the corner of my houseand tell me.O King of my mind,provide impulse to me!Make me move forward in all my actions.

By Your inspiration and propulsion,the river of my mindflows towards its terminus and ultimate desideratum.O King of harvests!Let me merge in Your harvest.Let me advancethrough memory and contemplation.

Moving forward,I will not look back.All actions and the entire world belong to You.

Sitting on the royal bird,the prince flew through the sky,unto some unknown destination.

Wearing a goldthreaded blue turban on his head,he vanished away.

Seven brothers,resembling campa' flowers,rushed towards me.

They asked mewhere their sister,a pa'rul flower,had disappeard to.

The prince, on his bird,brought the sister back to her brothers.

The seven brothers sat on seven seats,eating in seven plates,in the prince's company.

The sister had applied on their forehead,a ceremonial ritualistic mark.

O Lord, I love only You.Why I love, I do not know.

I have been waiting for You,Why, I do not know.

My eyes look out for You, day and night.Why is that so?My mind remains ever alert,remembering Youin both good as well as bad moments.

Come into my mind,in sleep or in my awakened state,No other, do I contemplate.

No matter how high waves may be,no matter how intense my pain may become,I shall carry on overcoming them.I do not want, any other than You.

Today, the peacock (of my mind) spreads its wingsand calls out aloud in my mental forest.In my mental arena,the pollen of kadamba flowers float on,mixing with the pollen of life.

Today's festivity lies centered around You.You pervade all environments.In salutation to You,the bamboos in the bamboo grovesbend down in hundreds of ways.

Bunches of lotus flowers,dance sweetly on wavesgently expressing their love.

You are the king of this grand festival,adorned in an enchanting royal dress.

The smile on His face speaks of love.His two eyes are full of affection.

That stealer of my heart,displayed external harshness on me.Yet, my mind longed to look at Him more and more.

No matter how much I told himthat I would forget Him,He repeatedly told me to forget Himand not to turn my eyes on Him.

Unable to forget Him,I kept my eyes open,discarding all shynessI remained intoxicated.

Irrespective of how often I told himthat I would not give Him anything,He repeatedly told methat He did not expect anything.

I could not hold backand, overwhelmingly,offered my all in meditation.

You came in the deep dark nightto pour forth nectarlike effulgence.

In the thunderous roarof the stormy nightwhile the bamboo crashed against each otherwith deafening claps,You savoured the blossoms of kadamba flowers.

Rain clouds floated on tears of deep melancholy.Smiling girls danced and amused themselves indoorsby tying up their hair and decoratingit with jasmine and malati flowers.

The fragrance of Your pandanasremains everfresh in my heart.

Because of Your graceful form,our beautiful earth basks in her splendour.That's why I see You in everything.

You exist in all expressions,so nothing in the universe can be lost from You.I also move in You.

You appear in thoughts and recollectionsof all living beings,and all entities exist within Your mind.Not even for a moment can I imaginethat anything exists outside You.

____________________________

As You are the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm,so this earth of ours has assumed her miraculous form.I perceive You in her all,in her every existence and flow.

As she moves in You,so I also move.In You, nothing can we lose.You pervade the thoughts of all who are hers,who are born within Your mind.

Not for a fraction of an instantcan I imaginethat anything exists outside You.

Between dreams and despairYou always kept me suspended (tossed)in anxious anticipation,until ultimately You chose to come,out of Your sweet grace,out of Your boundless grace.

The flowers and the puppies, all,the black bees and the myna birds,lay down their heads in sweet reposeduring the dark of night.Shiuli alone defies dusk's calland proudly proclaims her special role,"Look I am still awake!"

Kindly tell me mother whyshiuli's special ways?Out of love for whomshe serenades the nightand shuns the light of day?

The ocean of beauteous forms is approachable.My heart's sky is filled with Your existence.That's why You have willingly deluded my grasp,You can no longer make me forgetful;You can delude me no more.

_______________________

O, the pain I have borne!Don't You want to know,rarest gem of the sea bed,star of a distant sky.

I strive to grasp Your heart.Diving deep into the ocean of formI shall realise You,jewellike formless one.

In the limitless expanse of mindI shall reach You,star of a distant sky.

One dayYou shall come within my ken/grasp,the sadhana of my lifeshall bear fruit.

I approachthe ocean of beauteous forms,heart's sky alivewith Your presence,and yetYou elude me still.

O Lord, remove my forgetfulness,delude me no more!

I don't want anything from You.I simply want to love You.Remain always with meand flash a sweet smile at me.

When the southern spring breezewafts the fragrance of flowers,I will sit beside You,mingling my heart in You.

I will walk beside You in exalted awareness.I do not want anything,I shall not accept anything.Remain always with medispelling darkness from my life.

Colourful clouds beckon to me.How can I stay in doors?

The peacock of my mindwith its tail outspreadlongs to dance in the blue void.

I want to sing the songs of breaking cycles.I wish to remove the artificial boundaries around me.My mind rushes to a distant horizon,the limitless void,leaving aside the crude boundaries around me.

That supreme entity sends His callalways to methrough the light rifts in colourful clouds.I cannot ignore that call.What a great consternation!

______________________

Colourful clouds beckon me.How can I stay indoors?

Mind's peacocktail in fullspread splendourdances on the shores of the limitless blue sea.

Singing songs of breaking cycles,I shall traverse all false boundaries,rushing mind towards the distant voiddissolving crude bonds in infinitude.

The Supreme One callsthrough rifts in colourful clouds.What an obligation!I cannot ignore Him.

A lotus of shining gold has bloomed today on this earth,spreading its sweet fragrance all aroundto regale my heart and mind.

Come unto me, sweet fragrance floating in the breeze.Come and see, black bees plunder all pollen.My restless heart cannot be assuaged.Look all and see how determined is He to love.

My eyes are downcast with their diffident love.Bring that lotus unto my heart.All the honey of my life overflowswith the thought of that supreme one.

You came today, O Lord of my mind.You came today to churn my inner most beingand bind tight my heart.

All beauty is Your beauty.All radiate Your effulgence.You illuminated the ideative world of the living.You poured sweetness into creationwhich incarnated as Your forms.

Before You, neither was there bha'vanor an entity beyond the world of idea.

The three worlds revolved not in the flow of creation.There was neither existence nor nonexistence.There was neither microcosm nor even this vast cosmos.There was neither day nor night.

There was only You ever there,immeasurable, selfcreated.

Lives have past in expectation of Your advent,yet none of my hopes have been realised.

None have come whom I longed for.They have thronged in my mindwhom I never called.

All love, appearances and passings have driftedon causing a rift between the present and the past.

While walking in the flower garden,thorns pricked my feet.In the whirl wind,I savoured/sensed a sweet southern breeze.

My hopes are illusive mirages.Only Your two rosy feet remainas the last refugeof my despondent heart.

You came not in the early partof my life.I cannot blame You for that.

I did not search for Youand so my repentent heart burns.

You were so close yet I called You not.My days and nights have passed in vain.The more I recall in the twilight of my life,the more pain I feel.

All come to this earth for a limited time to work,and yet, we waste our time is useless pursuits.No use to blame the Lord for this.
