Now and always one and only

(1960)  Kusuma kanane smita anane

In the garden of flowers, with a smiling countenance
You arrived after so long, oh Merciful One.
Dormant hopes and all my love,
Today are they embodied by Your implication.

In consequence, what I'd wanted, that I have achieved;
And what I did not want, that also I've received.
With majesty of bearing at both crest and trough,
You came face-to-face, oh Avatar of Compassion.

Never is there a beginning or an end of You;
Nonetheless, in ignorance I seek residue.
At all times You're the same Master Absolute,
In form, beyond form, oh my Playful Lord.
