On final approach

(1527)  Dustara giri launghan kari

Crossing the mountain hard to cross,
I am entering Your presence.
Lord, exiting Your drunken maya,
With You only I am falling in love.

I've made Your acquaintance in hue, form, and taste;
Through abstract ideation I have managed to appreciate:
The past of everybody, for one and all it is base...
But You are there, close at hand, in every place.

Through intellect, no one reaches the far shore;
Through intuition's splendor, they approach...
With strong attachment of devotion, ambrosial obsession,
They get integrated, that I'm coming to know.
