He answers love

(3407) Ajana pathik, ar ki ajana acho

Unknown Traveler,
Are You unfamiliar any more?
In existence and in absence, perceptibly,
You have floated on the mental mirror.

I hold that You're arriving from a state beginningless;
I know that You have gone unto a far-away realm.
Yet for a smiling bloom under a newly risen sun at present,
You've descended with mind's providential kingdom.

Psyche's jeweled luster, upon mind You drift;
At the realm beyond mind, You smile in thrill.
Nonetheless, I'd relied on love of the Great;
Hence, with awareness You have come.

Protector of orphans

(3406) Jar ar keu nai

Those who have nobody else,
You are theirs.^[1]
Who sing unaccompanied and helpless,
Hearing them You've remained.

The ones who come with others on the journey,
Each and every mental state has its own speed.
But those who move on the path only to gain Thee,
To them You've kept providing all luster and pace.

You're the orphan's guardian, life of the earth;
Amid the small and gargantuan, You are superb.
For everybody's sake is Your unearned allure;
By that pull, grip on the world You've retained.

Ever am I vanquished

(3405) Prabhu tomar manera katha

Lord, Your inner thought,
It is known not, fathomed not.
So deep are You, underworld touched;
Thus, to grant hold You want it not?

What little scholarship and intellect I garner,
I search for You, only by that power.
The little I understand through a meager knowledge,
Inside of that my depth I find it not.

In search of Source I lose myself;
By thinking get I lost, seeking the End.
Upon the path of movement, what I can inspect,
Time-borne is that, endures it not.

Ever a mystery

(3404) Ei jalajhara varasa rate

On this same monsoon night, the rain dropping,
With a gloomy darkness and sleet,
In what form did You come, I cannot conceive;
Is this to beguile me?

Liila, when and how You go on making,
I seek reason, logic, the mind but to mislead.
Finally, finding nothing, buoyant do I want to be
On Your kind compassion-stream.

Of You there's no start, middle, or conclusion–
Immense and boundless, not two opposite shores.
At end, the quintessence of intellect and intuition:
All that is or isn't, become one, goes to Thee.

He came, He saw, He left His songs

(3403) Dur videsher kanakacanpa

The frangipani of another land, far away,
It had inundated life.
With bright glow on a wind sweet,
Floating in, it's song had arrived.

Light of glee on its cheeks,
In it there's no evil, only weal.
Uninvited, it had come one fine morning;
Having forgotten its any wounded pride.

At late afternoon, silently it dropped on me.
To unknown place it withdrew stealthily.
Left behind was its song with rhythm and melody;
Begun was its new enterprise.

At the party of life

(3402) Tomare dekhechi jabe jiivaner utsave

When I've noticed You at life's festivity,
Upon a stream of light You were laughing.
In a garden blossoming, neath canopy of malatii,
Slowly-slowly You were floating with exquisite beauty.

Amid this restive world You had appeared;
Like ankle-bells jingling, You had heard weeping.
At only that sound, with dispersion sweet,
You had brought vitality to those foolish and worldly.

I've no count of days, there's no periphery of time;
An estimate of Your complete expression I don't find.
Sweetly smiling on an easy seat, with mind musing about weal,
You'd created a multicolored liila, amazing!

Floating on the wind

(3401) Cetana keyur mor manera mayur

An ornament of cognition, my mental peacock,
Dancing, he races in just Your direction, Love.
Even though unfamiliar, strange even when known,
His inmost secrets he tells, song after song.

You alone are every heart-heaven's gem;
Of all jewels I consider You the best.
And so in thought-splendor, there is not Your likeness;
Shattering pride, You continue piercing everyone.

All pay heed to the tales of Your compassion;
Your generosity's ballads the world is aware of.
Greater than everyone, hence Your equal non-existent,
Omni-interlaced, You're in everybody's heart.

Extraordinary

With a festival of light You've come;
Onto lap You've raised a drained population.
Beyond reach of intellect, by wisdom's kindly decree,
You have lavished affection.

Hey Sovereign, such is Your compassion, incomprehensible;
From multitude just one... You achieved the impossible.
Hope You have infused by letting it be done.

Toward You all are gazing with scrutiny unblinking;
Human, bird, and beast, each minute they are counting.
You have gone ahead, taking love without speaking,
From a bejeweled lamp You've conferred splendor.

(3399) Tumi gan geye geye cale jao

Ever singing a song You go away;
You get lost to remote place.
In a jeweled mental room, the chest of gems,
A lasting line You let be traced.

Your identity I don't know, I cannot realize;
In Your proximity, naught but You I desire.
The Unseen Deity, You grant embrace;
An atomic being You drive insane.

Your passageway I won't defile;
I won't impede Your chariot of light.
Amid the mind You float on, at mirth You gaze;
Along with You my psyche You take.

Throughout my life, for sake of Thee,
Darling, I've gone on singing many songs.
Perhaps they were not apt in raag or melody;
Maybe they had not been loud enough.

Countless songs I've sung at dawns so many
To draw back the web of night, darkness-replete...
To decorate with morning flowers the mind-sphere,
To make You sit, the One fit to be welcomed.

I've continued singing upon countless evenings
With a lingering sound of Your kind mercy-stream...
Wherever is gotten fused an existential zeal,
There do give me the otherworldly cognition.

Affection's drug

(3397) Ganer desher bhomra ese

The Bumblebee of Songland having reached,
What were the words that He did say
In every ear?
Mind's nectar with Him did He take,
From the springtime songs aplenty.

To Him a hindrance no one gave;
At no time did He get ashamed.
Into my garden of psyche,
He had come in secrecy.

When the Bee went away,
Faith of the needy He became.
With wet face at a forest empty,
I had wept in His reverie.

Oh Lord, stay with me.
If I pause after having set forth,
Alone and helpless, don't leave me.

You'd accompanied in ancient times;
You'd brightened with colors Thine.
At this ill-boding time, girdled by death,
Don't forget this my story.

Also at the path's end You are there;
Existence You have carried per Your liking.
My ego's finish, its peripheral
Borderline's honey, coat that please.

Oh Lord it hurts!

So did He forget me?
A stream from eyes flows on a hundred ways;
Oh, did He not understand my feelings?

The rain waters are falling without stop;
The mind peacock romps, beholding Him not.
With cloudy boundaries, not His, are daubed
The lines of stibnite like wine love-smeared.

There is not hope in the midst of cloudy collyrium;
There is no light of laughter, there is no tongue.
I beg just His caress, a rhythmic song's affection,
With fest of life in niche of mind hard to reach.

Ever unworthy and yet

(3394) Duhkhe sukhe asha nirasha phanke

Twixt grief and gladness, in chinks between hope and despair,
With both gloom and luster my days go by.
At any time Dawn may draw nigh upon the dance stage;
On golden shore might coruscate Your light.

Hey my Lord, I want that You come closer please;
Of all the great pageantry You are the totality.
The essence of essence in all happenings,
You're the bright blue lotus in the Heaven of mind.

I am sinful, and mine is no sadhana, I concede;
For the Supreme Being is no steadfast longing.
Nevertheless, there's no prohibition to come near;
You're the crimson glow on the coast of life.

Roused from sleep

Like a gale, like tornado, You had come;
I had been dozing.
Through cadence and tune on the mental mirror,
Myself You woke up;
I had peered.

All events of the past have I forgotten;
Looking toward a new dawn have I been.
Stories of ancient days, lost memories' torment,
Everything cast adrift I let be.

Stately coming near, words did You utter;
A mental niche hard-to-reach You entered.
Honeyed that contemplation, radiant that awareness,
In that myself I went swimming.

Crossing the darkness, You have brought light rays.
Through cadence and song, Yourself with smiling face,
By means of love, obstacles You've assailed.

No one is Your stranger, everyone the closest kin;
Everyone the gem of eye, everyone beloved.
In person upon path having alit, thinking of every tale,
With everybody You proceed apace.

Such nocturnal penance on nights of the new moon;
So much pain was repressed, by language refused.
You had been with all, in thought You did pervade;
Those who'd been rolling in dust, upon lap You did take.

You are the Brahma Kamal, I am filthy straw;
Dyed am I; about Your hue what do You speak?

When into mind You come, myself You love;
You smile gently in the kadam arbor.
Forgetting my penury, I drift in a thought-stream,
With diverse colors on an existential beach.

When You remain hidden, don't You open orbs?
Though having called a hundredfold, no reply do You accord.
In jeopardy, without a shore I float on the eyes' tears;
Having looked, I see You laugh atop a mountain peak.

That, don't You grasp it– You fathom not.

You are everybody's gem of diadem,
The diamond mine of a dismal planet.
Constantly I listen to Your chronicles;

Ever with me You abide.

Who can tell the tale of Your qualities?
By hues of Your forms, full is the mind of everybody.
Your love is all defilement-dispelling;
In that You have steeped a song.

With love's cadence and song, with ambrosial throbbing,
Making everybody dance, on You've gone.

Futile was my water-pot's mango leaves;
Vain became all garlands strung of longing.

Toward a cozy nest at glow of dusk the bird speeds;
Seeing the moon, a lily rises neath twilight's reddish gleam.
On this my evening, You fathom the mind's affliction.

Darkness-wrapped the sun, at eastern mountain^[1] it's not there;
But the dawn's crimson streak, forgetting aught did not leave.
As You are listening, You understand anxious confusion.

Was making known her pain secretly.

Humming in a candied anticipation,
Coming was the Bumblebee, taking precaution.
Floral pollen and whatever devotion,
On her Most Beloved she was lavishing.

In my own mind she was speaking;
Those her words, knows she only.
Like a mental peacock, at a distance staying,
Sensing Him, she was dancing, solitary.
With lively delight at remote site in ecstasy,
For no reason with a smile He was rising.

Beast, bush, and bird You did familiarize;

Those who'd fallen behind, neglected and necessitous,
You broke their life's utterly gloomy prison.
You attracted everyone, let be forgot their difference;
The many You took and wed.

Receiving with joy and shame, they welcomed You.
Everybody went along, gained the light a generation new,
With the thrill of each moment.

Hand held on head, You did speak,
All pain removing instantly.
You said: "Came storm and gale, but don't fear;
Around you I am here.

Appear on the journey, but they're as naught.

On my path filled with barbs,
Stricken had I been, incessant.

In rhythm and in hymn I'll pass.

And so a song of love I sing.

Upon young grass, a green carpet alike,
In psychic looking glass, like a floral smile,
At times You come near and at times float afar;
Why don't You understand the mental agony?

Through light and darkness Your Sport is amazing;
From within the mind, it's a game with psyche.
Amid thought, with thought is a merrymaking,
Why do You not rid thought's shortcoming?

In the mental sphere, Your Braja You have formed.

In the wee small hours weeping had I been;
Amid darkness, from fear had I been frightened.
Watching the sunrise I have seen
Whose kindness; this I imagined not.

At midday with the sun's intense heat,
Like a burning flame of dismay raging,
Always I've been looking for relief;
To recognize, pious endeavor I did not.

Underneath the evening-sun's heaven ruddy,
In hope or despair I've gone on struggling.
I proclaim obeisance, there is no prayer;
Anything but grace I crave not.

In the crimson color at daybreak You have smiled;
Upon thought You've risen like a bloom, evening's lady of the night.
You have mingled with night's heap of moonlight;
With a pleasing sandal-paste, heart is brimming.

Upon mind reflected is the world of colors;
From outside furtively racing in it comes.
The external came inside, outdoors the inside went;
Plunked between these two, vanity goes missing.

Has He yielded to a sweetness gladdening?
Along with dye and music-mode to excite greatly,

To eliminate the ebon mist of Northeast,
From honeyed bud of thinking...

Slumping beside the path my sense of I had become,
With garments drenched, indigent and abandoned.
Into Your own presence You did haul,
Coating with sweetness of affection.

Mission accomplished

(3359) Ei shubha arunodaye ele

On this same propitious sunrise You arrived;
You exuded light.
Having dissolved new moon's mountain, the gloom set aside,
Upon the mental mirror You did smile.

The weight of earthly pain You let me leave behind;
With unshaken state of awareness, You vanquished mind.
From seed to a great tree by thought's ascending rise,
Myself You enticed.

Many times in many forms You have appeared, Lord;
An expedition hundred-edged, never did it pause.
With desire impeccable, with motive inconceivable,
You addressed my plight.
