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.
