Your Blissful Soul - * THE FLAME DIVINE *

          ~^~

          I adore thee, O Divine Flame!

          Bring me the eternal and beautiful dawn

          Which reveals the most precious diamond!

          * * *

          You are adorable by the sages ancient and new

          You are the summoner of gods to our sacrifices

          And, you're the opener of the gates of Paradise!

          * * *

          By Thee only, a devotee enjoys

          The treasures of love and happiness,

          And drifts in the oceans of glorious light!

          * * *

          By Thee, the pilgrim sacrifice performed

          On all sides of a devotee's soul, when

          You lead him along the path of milky ways!

          * * *

          O Flame, you are the omniscient seer-will

          Come as a youthful goddess from the Heaven

          Decked in splendorous robes of the rising Sun!

          * * *

          O Divine Flame! Come to me day by day

          In the night and in the light as I pray,

          Carrying happy gifts of love, I am thine!

          * * *

          O Flame, the luminous guardian of truth!

          Be easy of access to me as a mother unto

          Her son and clung to me for my blissful state!
