 * INUNDATION OF DIVINE BLISS.1*


          Photobucket

          ~*~

          

          When shall I see Thee, O Shiva, and

          Gain bliss unattainable even by gods

          Holding Thy holy feet with my hands

          Pressing them against my head, chest

          And eyes and smelling their fragrance

          Resembling that of full blown lotuses!

          * * *

          Thou kingly bird of my mind, give up

          Thy vain wanderings and quest of joys

          Sport for ever in the nest of Shiva's feet

          Which are resorted to by the birds of sages

          For tasting the nectarine fruit of beatitude!

          * * *

          O kingly swan of my mind, sport here

          At pleasure with the ladies of devotion

          Residing in the privacy of the mansion

          Of Siva's feet- a mansion of brilliance

          With ruby like luster of those lotus feet

          And resorted to by sages who meditate

          On the meanings of the Sacred Mantras!

          * * *

          O kingly swan, why do you wander in

          The muddy tanks of worldliness fit for

          Mean creatures? Go unto the pure and

          Perpetual lake of divine contemplation

          Having eternal bliss for its water, minds

          Of heavenly sages for its lotus flowers

          The holy men as its birds resorting to it

          Sins as the dirt it cleanses away, and

          Virtuous disposition as the fragrance it

          Emits, and then my swan drink its bliss!

          * * *

          O Great Lord, who ever attains to a state

          In which he joyfully surrenders his heart

          To Thee and spends his time in meditation

          And ecstasy and in seeing Thy holy images,

          In listening thy stories, in singing Thy hymns

          And in worship to Thee- he attains liberation

          In this very life indeed, thus says a Sage Poet!
