BEGONE BLACK CLOUDS

BEGONE BLACK CLOUDS*

 

ATMA VICHARA, like the wild west wind,

Blows away layered clouds of ignorance,

Blinding the bright radiance of our Sun.

 

As the Great Sun isn't wind created,

So, Self's uncreated by the Vichara;

Grey vasanas are gracefully dispersed,

Pure deathless Selfhood blazes away!
