A dull witted man wanders about for flowers
Goes deep into lotus lakes and to mountains
But he doesn’t know how to be happy in life
By offering his heart-lotus, O lord, unto thee!
* * *
Lord, let me be born as man or celestial, as
A wild beast or a bird, or any other creature
What harm accrues from these embodiments
If in every such birth my heart sports always
In the waves of supreme bliss consisting in
The constant remembrance of thy lotus feet!
* * *
If the sun who is but one can penetrate through
Circle of darkness filling the skies reveals himself
Canst thou not, O Lord of beings,who art shining
With brilliance of myriods suns reveal thy self?
Who knows how thick is the darkness covering me?
Removing it, deign to reveal thy self unto me!
* * *
The spring time of divine contemplation
Arrived in my heart’s garden, leaves of sin
Fallen away while creaper of my devotion
Bearing sprouts of many virtuous acts began
To spread, the flowers of hymns have begun
To bloom up with honey-flow of bliss divine!
* * *
Siva, the Lord of all-the tranquil and gracious
God, the bestower of bliss-can be worshipped
Within heart and out side, for He, the king of kings
Dwells within and also transcends the worlds!!

A Magnificent Psalm of Praise Venkat iSir is this.
Yes, immanent and transcendent is HE.
Within everything and transcending by far everything.
Fortunate you and blessed that you find adequate words to expatiate about the unspeakable, - so inhfinitely far beyond human words.anmd conceptions.
Be blessed
Elizabeth |
