Keep your eyes on Him

(193)  Andhar sagare patha hariye

When the way gets lost in a sea of darkness,
Forget Him never, the polestar of existence.
Lo, past the sea of gloom, like heart-thief^[1] amorphous,
Who dances round and round light's absence!

On mind's altar, keep alive a heap of blooms;
Inside psyche, infuse smiles washed with dew.
Cross the vast and lovely sky, see arise His luster
On a form-free ocean, personifying Consciousness.

There's not any entreaty, there's no want-and-receive;
Just behold Him very near, and life is replete.
