Please just tell me why



(3789) Tomay deke gechi kata jiivane

To You I've gone on calling for many lifetimes;
Even having listened You heard not, did not see;
How is it You became unkind?

Constantly I divulge my heart-speech;
I know also that You can hear.
The piece of heart from core revealed,
That goes on getting heard, echo-like.

To call is my job, so I go on calling;
I've no grudge if You don't want to hear.
Just within the mind for ease I plead:
You were deaf; what's the reason why?

Efficacy



(3788) Kena kare jao e liila

Why do You go on making this cosmic play?
Hence, Liila's Avatar is Your identity.
Is the dappled myrtle a game?

In a flower-bouquet smiles Your name;
Richly virtuous, on the Milk Sea's breast You sail.
Unknowing, countless times obeisance I pay,
Hey the girdle of perpetual psychic beauty.

At the abode of gods, You are immensely great;
The Ruler of Self are You in the Consciousness domain.
Time-vanquishing's permanent High Potentate.
You don't obey right or wrong temporality.

Anticipating



(3787) Krsna kamal mor elo dekho rauna bhor

My Dark Lotus came; behold the crimson morning
In the midst of Gopiis today.
Hey the full sea of affection, the fountain of mercy,
On each side peacock cries dance for Your sake.

Profit and loss I know not, the touch of love want I;
Reckoning and tally I don't find, I don't find,
Owing to Yourself a Gopii having gained.

It's as if on many births, only in this life, excuse—
Such a love for Kanu[1] bring it, bring such love for Kanu;
In psyche's paradise a Gopii obtains.

Without Kanu there's no aid, except Kanu nobody I desire—
I keep seeing before eyes, I keep seeing before eyes;
As God the Savior, Who came?

I just want to hug You



(3786) Tumi kena dure acho priya mor

Why far away are You, my Darling?
I have seen at break of day, neath light-rays crimson:
It was not possible to tie a floral string.

Blossomed are flowers in many colors;
They entreat sweetness, beg Your affection.
Having come a bit close for a second,
You disappeared, forgetting tears.

With a reddish glow leaning toward west,
The mind would keep holding still then.
At evening on horizon is the darkness;
You did send from hiding a deep sleep.

What a fool I had been



(3785) Bhevechilum jinane pabo

I had thought by knowledge I will attain;
To meditation You did yield.
I had wanted with egoism;
Through humility You came near.

I had wished that by light-beams
Illuminated is my Darling.
Royally abluted by love's stream,
You did bathe, ignoring deficiency.

I had sought by looking for divinity in body,
Mouth and hands washing, palm and fingers purifying.
In ritual worship's many, varied techniques,
You exposed the goof, coming on own personally without formality.

You don't quite tread on me



(3784) Tumi esecho man niyecho

You have come, and mind You've taken;
Why paid You no mind to me?
You've held dear, and You have spoken
With red lips, fondness replete.

In You, my Longtime Friend, is sweetness universal;
You are deeds of compassion, a sea of nectar.
A drop of sandal-paste in hot blaze of disturbance,
I was unable to bind Thee.

Having longed for the dawn's crimson color
Mid love's casket honey-logged,
You are full, and I but vacuous;
Nonetheless, You have kept above feet.

More than I could ever dream



(3783) Ceyechilum tomay ami

I had wanted and witnessed You.
In thrill of form's spray beauteous.
You came in fascinating floral garb,
When Yourself I have wished for.
With attraction of chrysanthemum,
Like a silver lotus You have come.

Whatever I want, only that You give;
In that do Your hues mix?
Having wanted in spring colors
I got lotus within lotus.

Wanting's indigence You let be fathomed:
Rectified the insufficiency of thought.
I had desired with conceit;
You took amid foot dust.

Wishing and getting, to me they belong;
All is already Yours, it dwells in perpetuum:
What was not and what did exist;
Everything there isn't and what there is.
