I will heed

(28)  Bandhu tomay kii balibo

My Lord, what shall I say to You— You who have shattered my dark slumber? The path of light alone I will tread— I will tread, I will tread, I will tread. My budding flower lay neglected. You have threaded it in Your garland. The sullied offerings of my mind You have taken on Your lap. In exchange for all, I received You. Only Your words I will heed— I will heed, I will heed, I will heed.

Baba's exposition:

O Lord, what shall I say to You? You have broken my dark slumber, and now I shall move on the path of light. My flower, which was long neglected, You have threaded into Your garland. Those offerings of my mind were soiled with the dust of pettiness. You have graciously taken them on Your lap. I have given away my all, and then only I have received You. Henceforward, I shall move along Your path. Only Your words I will hear. Only Your dictates I will follow. This is the proper path for me.
