Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 radheshyam namo narayana dear bhaagavatas, lets continue on with mira... "strange..." ------------ Strange are the decrees of fate. Behold the large eyes of the deer! Yet he is forced to roam the forests. The harsh crane has brilliant plumage, While the sweet-voiced cuckoo is black. The rivers flow in pure streams, But the sea makes them salt. Fools sit on thrones as kings, While the wise beg their bread. Mira's lord is the courtly Giridhara: The king persecutes the Bhaktas. "Strange is the path when you offer your love." -------------- Do not mention the name of love, O my simple-minded companion. Strange is the path When you offer your love. Your body is crushed at the first step. If you want to offer love Be prepared to cut off your head And sit on it. Be like the moth, Which circles the lamp and offers its body. Be like the deer, which, on hearing the horn, Offers its head to the hunter. Be like the partridge, Which swallows burning coals In love of the moon. Be like the fish Which yields up its life When separated from the sea. Be like the bee, Entrapped in the closing petals of the lotus. Mira's lord is the courtly Giridhara. She says: Offer your mind To those lotus feet. lottsa krishna premai kalaivani namo narayana hari hari _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
