Purified

(843)  Tomare dekhinu jabe manera kone

When I noticed You in a niche of my mind,
There was an odor then inside my garden.
I went toward You with open eyes,
But suddenly Your door was shut.

Well I know that God never grows callous;
His heart is softer than the heart of humans.
What was my sin for which Your gate was closed?
I see that in my heart both fear and shame lay low.

Today, all my fear and shame are cast aside;
With light divine, come reside inside my mind.
Today, free am I from filth of sin;
With heaps of love, kindly descend.
Now that earthly form and radiant consciousness have wed.
