And then You came

(3842) Tumi jakhan esechile, ami chilum ghumaghore

When You had appeared, I had been asleep deep, In a confined dwelling, ego-ringed. You opened up a door by which conceit; Inside You arrived by what means? A wand of life, a wand of death,[1] Near to head they'd been maintained. You picked up the stick of living; Missing went the stick to slay. Amid my sense of 'I', the king of snakes, But bathed and blessed the 'I' became. That 'I', becoming Yours, it was spent; Yourself it attained, hey Darling. Upon mental sky, moonlight having appeared, At first, my mind forgotten was made. At end of the want-and-gain assembly, On just thought of the One, completion it gave. That start mixed with that ending, On horizon it got sprayed. Of eternal sense of I, thenceforth, For all time, shattered was the sleep. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Go deep within

(3841) Eso maner madhu vrndavane

At mind's Vrindavan sweet, In the lotus of my knowing, please appear; In many a forest lonely, I have sought Thee; I have sought Thee in the holy sea. Both rise and fall come in life; Many a break of day and much guile of moonlight. Many stellar congregations, numerous dark nights; Each minute, each second, I have sought in everything. Then as if One went on telling inside ears: "He has dwelt in mind and heart; look there. In each molecule and atom, at every locality, Applying love's kohl on eyes, look closely."

On loving You

(3840) Tomay bhalabese priya

Darling, having held You dear, Your hue, it brightened my psyche. Scattered was the mind of me; It became focused on Thee. Myself fastened had been kept By blind-delusive dogma-threads. That having been removed asudden, It had brought taste of release. Mental Gopal, You're in the mind only; With dye You've gone on filling. Psychic Jamuna You have thrilled immensely, Making it billow upstream. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

A symbiotic tie

(3839) Ganer e tariikhani

This tiny raft of song, I'd been adrift on blue of sky. Oh You, my tune's companion, Who did come, Having said this boat You'll ply? It's like somebody speaks asudden; At the time of grief it happens. This pilot, He lies hidden, Having said naught inside mind. His details He does hide, Nothing He says identifies. Repeatedly He just replies: "Myself You brought, love's pull thereby." Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Favor do show

(3838) Deke deke janam gelo

Calling and calling a life went by; Nonetheless, kindness happened not. What type of love got realized? Despite having heard, You replied not. Day and night, in Your meditation, Time has passed in both concept and reflection. Who knows why through guile of Divine Sport, Even though having viewed, see You could not. You are life, original and birthless; As well, You dwell in the endless. A place in my heart, hey Beloved, Having taken, kindly be compassionate. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

Don't be afraid

(3837) Ami tomay bhalabasi, janai kii kare

I have a like for You; How do I explain? For Your sake, at my core, Eyes cascade. Morning came, I see Your light, eyes having opened; By floral shape and kadam scent You pour sweetness. You call me from Eastern Mountain[1] with the cool air. Beaming a sweet smile with affection in evening paints, You go on saying: "Sleep now; I will call, come next day." On the sky Your words float, a love-tale. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

You steer my ship

(3836) Dhyeya tumi shreya tumi

You're the aim of meditation, You are beatitude; Before You I bend my knee frequently. On this immense ocean of existence, You are the Helmsman, one and only. All that once had been in olden times; And still today what's full of life... Tearfully that which cries... I know Your play divine is everything. In creation-stasis-dissolution You abide; You have gone on dancing, core of heart inside... By Your own liila You have become tied... And hence You are everybody's Darling.
