Discovery

(684)  Jinaner jagate khunjechi tomare

I sought You in the realm of knowledge
But got You in the light of thought;
I've found You there time and again.
I sought You not inside mind's depths
But searched within the outer world;
Missing there, You'd gone afar.

Besprinkled with tender affection,
You've filled the mind of everyone.
Through gripping prelude and lively song,
I've gotten acquainted with You;
I've come to know You through tempo and tune.

In a drowsy stupor, a dreamy stream,
I lost my way, addled by attachment.
Sleepless Lord, clasping my hand,
You showed the direction for me to stride,
How to proceed with head held high.
