My Man of Mystery

(2313)  Ajanari sure banshii pure pure

Flute ever-filled with a tune of mystery,
Who are You that came into my psyche!
You arrived without notice, having come You gave no tip;
But with a thrill You demolished lethargy.

At first I could not think a bit;
What occurred, I received not a hint.
Afterward, gradually, around a feeling,
Through vibration You allowed ascending.

This sensory perception fits no comparison;
It is just unmerited compassion.
All capacity worldly and all logic,
Admitting defeat, they grovel at Your feet.

Have I not tried long enough?

(2312)  Shunechi tumi dayalu ami

I have heard that You are kindly;
Why don't I notice that in practice?
Calling and calling, wailing and crying,
My days, they vanish.

Many a night has passed without sleep,
Incessantly engrossed in Your reverie.
But You did not arrive, hey Companion dear;
Oh where did You stay hid?

Person Unbodied, You go on disposing the planet;
With mental honey, You coat the sweetness.
Setting me afar, what's the pleasure that You get?
I can't fathom by Your liila.

So You are my Lord

(2311)  Bhuvane tomar tulana nai

In the universe, You're without likeness;
So You are my Deity.
In You there's no narrowness,
Oh the matchless Supreme Chief.

In Your light I travel by blessing Yours;
In Your song I stay absorbed, enraptured.
Mesmerized and impassioned,
Far off went the misery.

In some ancient past You built the world,
And since that day You got fettered.
Amid all, the jeweled luster on a necklace,
Feelings of kinship You embodied.

Hear me

(2310)  Badhir theko nako priya

Deaf don't stay, oh Darling;
You must hear my story.
My inmost agony, fathom please:
Extreme zeal for gaining Thee.

In the gaps mid sounding of reed pipe,^[1]
To me call beams of Your light.
Mixed with that very light abides
The sweetness of Your doting.

My ray of hope is You only,
The sole foundation of all weal.
Neglecting Thee, without base I be;
Accordingly, head I bow constantly.

His gay ambrosia

(2309)  Tumi esechile mrdu hesechile

You had come, You had smiled tenderly,
Pouring nectar heavenly.
I looked not back, nothing I said;
Infatuated, inattentive had I been.

Setting the latch, I was in a niche of dwelling;
Privately, I have thought of myself only.
A high ranking I've desired constantly in psyche,
On the bank of a dark stream.

Away You went, affection's yoke having left;
Neath that love, often the world dances.
Irresistibly, a painted flower blossoms,
Swaying to the pulse of Him only.

The extent of Your grace

(2308)  Tumi amay bhalabasiyacho

You are loving me;
I have gone off far-distant.
To my pain a balm You're giving;
I have forgotten that.

Like desert-heat on grief's distress,
From social suppression compassionless,
At any time, pain-stricken, when I've wept,
I've received Your solace.

With both hands, You've only kept giving away;
A return gift I did not give in exchange.
Your prescripts I have wished to break;
I have observed egotism.

Disregarding sin and merit, You have lavished mercy;
Mind You have frenzied with affection's honey.
You have made me bathe in love's stream;
I am not fathoming it.

An open heart

(2307)  Bhule gechi sei tithi

Even that date I've forgotten–
Yourself I did not forget, Beloved;
I cannot disremember.
Uninvited You'd arrived
In the abyss of my mind,
I know not why that is.

Suddenly You came; giving a shake, You retired.
Forgetting of former life You did provide.
At root of life You brought a firm design
To fight impediments restrictive.

You declared: "Life is speaking with candor,
Moving on an upright path with courage.
Any chicanery is never victorious...
Satya alone is sadhana."

It's a mercy to see

(2306)  Tomake ceyechi karunadharay ami

Yourself have I viewed on a stream of mercy;
Why that's so I don't perceive.
Like it or not, oh the Knower Of Psyche,
As I honor everything, Yourself only I revere.

On Your smile a flower has bloomed;
Affection dwells in Your flute.
With sweetness Yours nectar exudes;
There's a light-beam flashing.

Engulfing both the near and far, You've persisted;
Without body You are wearing distilled pigments.
Having mused upon You mid the flurry of existence,
Into my life I drag Thee.

You may or may not be ready

(2305)  Gan geye jabo gan geye jabo

A song will I go on singing;
Listen or not, it's Your option.
I will rouse a wave deep in hearing.

Have You thought that I'll abide silently,
You will give a forlorn hope of gaining Thee?
No, that flow of melody suffusing the firmament,
Its opportune moment, won't I seize?

Your depth does not adjust with intellect,
The speck of it that You gave to me as well.
Taking Your name, that sweetness given,
Yourself will I get, yes, I will get You surely!

A sun shrouded in darkness

(2304)  Se kon prabhate dhalile dharate

On what fine morn did You pour on Earth
Your measureless splendor...
No history is there, no bright proverb;
Gone on remaining is only the love.

No one knows Your grand achievement,
Sweetness in meter, that which You've contributed.
You have given everything, nothing You have taken;
You are the incarnation full of wisdom.

Yourself to realize, it isn't possible;
Even the trying relies on Kindness.
Thought You filled, psyche intoxicated;
You sang a song immortal.

Eternally Yours

(2303)  Tomar saunge mor paricay, ek adh juger katha nay

My acquaintance with Thee,
It's not half an age's story.
From the time of yore, I am in company;
I have gone on singing Your victory.

Having loved, on Your thought,
I've forgot all my privation.
Contemplating You, as my disposition,
Everything may be, with You replete.

Do not lay me far away;
Stay with me both night and day.
Honey-coated, please maintain;
Kindly, always keep me busy.

Where I came from and where I go

(2302)  E pather shes je kothay ke jane

This path, its end is where, who perceives,
Who perceives, oh who perceives?
I get lost, going to seek;
My belief concedes defeat.

I go on knitting a habitat of color;
Psychic flowers I pluck in a bundle.
Groping in the dark, I report:
Bottom I found not, anywhere.

The intellect that exists in my vicinity,
The intuition that's continued functioning,
The aspiration that's gone on day-counting,
In one cranny, all of them are concealed.

Light of my life

(2301)  Bhese ankhiniire bhevechi tomare

Swimming in tears I have thought on Thee,
With my heart-core's mode of speaking.
No one knows, no one can know
What words I've spoken inside psyche.

In the world I saw not, in the mind did I see;
At the black pupil of eye, You have inhered.
Even though I did not see, the pupil is not remote;
And thus, engrossed in love I be.

That love in heart makes overflowing;
Psyche's casket dribbles ecstatically.
That devotion, that completion,
To a steady glow runs, dancing.

I am Yours

(2300)  Ami patha ceye ceye klanta hai ni

Ever watching the path I've grown weary,
Tired of my own uncleanness.
All of my filth, the flashing of vanity,
Let it mix with the dirt of earth.

Lord, let my head be kept bent down
To the dust from Your foot;
Dignify the birth of me
With a ray of Your grandeur.
Oft I come, and oft I leave,
Mid Your unfading splendor.

Please don't keep me cast far off,
Drifting in transit with introversion.
By Your great feat, the grant of compassion,
Kindly permit me to cross.

This could be much more easy

(2299)  Aloker he pratibhu

Hey the Broker of Bright Splendor,
Hope entire only follows Thee.
Lord, by Your form alone the world is awed;
There are no words for measuring quality.

Your own self, You have strewn;
But at heart's core, You have accepted room.
What occurs not, You've made that happen too;
Composing homes with hues aplenty.

Only You are the nectar in a flower's breast;
And You are the cordial moon on a blue firmament.
Oh, I am worn out from just calling ever;
At the psyche only, hear my smiles and tears.

Hey my Sweet

(2298)  Cinmaya tumi rupamay tumi

You are full of wisdom, beautiful are You;
You belong to everybody,
Their own more than family.
Forgetting You I drift in perpetual crisis,
On the wrong way and at risk, repeatedly.

Oh my Kinsman, oh my Dearest One,
Your love has left me stunned.
All the sweetness circling just You,
Always it races, making merry.

I want to obtain You closer still;
To take within me, intrinsically blended.
Hey the Knower Of Heart, awareness of You,
It's the distilled nectar that has filled my fancy.

No substitute

(2297)  Kothay gele dure cale

Going far, You went off where,
Oh my Lord, forsaking me?
So much am I calling, don't You listen?
Face averted, why did You become displeased?

Mid effulgence You exist,
But with ebon You have gone and mixed.
Filling everything, You have lingered;
But You did not show before me.

Of forms there's no utmost circumference,
But they have no likeness to Your aspects.
Noble God, please grant forgiveness,
Disregarding all my failings.

He beggars imagination

(2296)  Aloker jharnadharay

With a cascade of effulgence,
Oh Who came, uninvited?
Awed am I by Your form,
Its traits beyond description.

In the cosmos You alone exist;
Form have You scattered.
By form's splendor, in form's vessel,
Your acclaim is undisputed.

You're above the gunas three;^[1]
Kissing sky, You go on dancing.
Central gem in the realm of ideation,
Your bright glow is space-transcendent.

It's a new day and a new world

(2295)  Purvakashe arun heseche

On eastern sky the morning sun has beamed;
All the gloom has disappeared.
Black of night did not feel good;
And thus in form is kindness brightening.

The darkness has not large and cruel teeth,
And there is no demonic hunger for deceit.
Forgetting one's own self is not the tendency;
A sea of splendor has been dancing.

Among people there is no misunderstanding
Or desire for animal torture and injury.
By axe there's no annihilation of trees;
Awakened has a new humanity.

Oblivious to His gift

(2294)  Tumi alo dhele dile

Pouring of light You conferred;
Yet my own Self I did not see.
Lustrous Consciousness, in light You were,
But I did not wish to see.

Wares of pleasure I have sought upon the earth;
For Whom the pleasure, I did not want to search.
I have seen the action, not the Actor;
About the Actor I failed to think.

Preference to matter I have gone on giving;
In the midst of matter fulfillment have I fancied.
That so much You gave, forgetting it,
On the way of light poured, I did not proceed.

A mystery

(2293)  Nayan rakhiya jao

You go on keeping eye
On every atom and molecule, my Dear.
So, hidden not continues
Anything by any means.

What a stern duty is Yours:
In a heart that's tender ever You bear pressure
For all retribution to everybody
At each instant momentary.

Upon the rotation of tempus breached by dancing,
A Creation, rainbow-hued, was it not there?
But then too You had been solitary,
Unrevealed, time-surpassing.

Hope's passage

(2292)  Path bendhe dile e kii bhalabasa

Composing the path, this love is great and strange,^[1]
Full of hope's light-rays.
A mind that was unreined,
Sense of self it lost today.

I am the flashing of a small and puny atom,
Day and night I sway between hope and desperation;
But being loved by the distillate of kindness,
In mind comes fresh flow of strength...

Hope's surfeit, when that is provided,
On a trifling 'I', ambrosia, it gets coated;
Then by insight, love's splendor filled,
The gloomy dark, jam-packed it's made...

Let us meet

(2291)  Tomare cai je kache manera majhe

Amid the mind, that near I want Thee;
Staying far, how hard it is.
In every occupation, I think about You shyly,
In seclusion having waited.

All the petals in a tiny grove of psyche,
When they had been burgeons unfolding,
Then from the bud of me,
A golden vigor, it spills over.

Come still closer, oh my Darling;
Honey in heart is replete.
Flowers have bloomed in many hues varied,
The floral garden is embellished.

Life's goal is clear

(2290)  Shukla akashe sumanda vatase

Upon a clear sky, with an air sweetly mild,
Him heart craves repeatedly,
Upon a clear sky.
Effusive mind heeds no constraint;
Always it hies to Him only.

Every day and date, they became one;
With thought of just Him they did hum.
All desire and achievement, every give and take,
In one voice, only His victory they sing.

With sportive chains, Who are You, oh Master mine;
From far away, with floral thread, my love You do bind.
I cannot forget the existential effort to attain;
From birth to beyond grave it flashes like lightning.

Am I ready yet?

(2289)  Timir shese alor deshe

In the realm of light at end of gloom,
Hey Master, surrender and grant embrace.
Myself abandoning, where left You to?
Do speak with me, the tale relate.

From constantly traveling I am footsore;
Musing on You in a stupor is my thought.
My vanity, it's gotten lost;
Onto lap please lift me, take me and elevate.

I've heard that You are merciful,
Strewing grace throughout the world.
Upon Your every vessel, hey Avatar of Consciousness,
With light of awareness, face smiling, kindly gaze.

I give up

(2288)  Tomake kache peyeo cena day

Even having found You nigh, it is hard to recognize,
It is hard to recognize, hard to recognize.
Tenderly You smile, You tell: "I do love";
But Your mentality one simply cannot realize.

Whenever I think knowing You I've achieved–
I've deduced Your psyche–
I see what You made happen by a trick of liila:
Pain drips in a stream flowing from both eyes.

Non-essential I've forgot, the essence I am grasping;
Defeat by Your liila I am acknowledging.
At this time I've just kept on asking:
Pardoning frailty, to me please be kind.

Not a game

Better than superb are You;
You go on giving love.
All that's ebon You consume;
No sport do You wish to perform.

There are many defects, misdeeds are there;
And everything is known to Thee.
Affection in conception, all of them wittingly
With honey You envelop.

Never did I achieve any chore assigned;
Through no work, Lord, did I ever satisfy.
By stroke of grace have I come here;
Kindly take me and reform.

On the brink

(2286)  Ele bujhi aji shyamaray

Perhaps now You arrived, Dark Prince,^[1]
A bamboo pipe by ear gets heard.

On bank of mind's Jamuna, I await, watching the path;
All and sundry come and go, but none of them look back.
Alone I've come, alone I've gone on staying;
Woe is me, You are remote, hey Longtime Companion.

Upstream won't it flow, the Jamuna once more?
Realized won't it be, the keen desire for love?
Away You've kept me; You've been thinking of what else?
You make sport with light and umbra.
