You run in my blood



(3220)  Tumi madhu prabhate esecho

Oh You, with honeyed morn You've arrived;
With fresh green leaves on bud and bloom,
Filling the world You have smiled, You've arrived.

External and internal, the two You did fuse;
With golden rays You removed the gloom...
In human thinking, in the eyes of a molecule,
With love's fetters You have tied, You've arrived.

To any small thing Thine there's no limit;
In three worlds[1] Your greatness is pervasive...
On atom and molecule meridian is painted;
You've put on unique attire, You've arrived.

A path to devotion?



(3219)  Nayane kena ke jane aji neveche

Who knows why today has oozed from eyes
Rain of the Shravan month?
Remaining far away, Who has made me cry
With a pain continuous?

Oh Who are You Whose heart is obdurate–
Comprehending, You want not to understand!
The flow from eyes is on a hundred sides;
For this do You bring down my shower-like flood?

Ten thousand times I bow to Thee;
Thou art beyond intellect's reach.
Sometimes I smile, other times weep,
From Your lively Game's emanation.

Those who want to find Him



(3218)  Bhalabaso ki na jani na, jani shudhu saunge thako

I don't know if You love or not;
I just know You stay along.
Pain, I do not fathom if You grasp or not;
I get that You call me at heart-core.

When in darkness cloudy,
On my own I cannot see.
I notice that inside my psyche,
You don't dwell without splendor.

Out of doors for You I search;
Only outwardly I worship ever.
Closing eyes do I observe:
You arise in molecule and atom.
