Make Me Crazy, Brahma-filled Mother

 

 

Make me crazy,

O Brahma-filled mother!

I no longer need

my judgment or reason.

Intoxicate me

with the wine of your love!

I no longer have any use for

my judgment or reason.

 

O Mother who steals her devotees' hearts,

Drown me in an ocean of passion!

 

In your madhouse,

some laugh, some cry

and some dance with joy.

Jesus, Moses, and Chaitanya*

are all struck senseless

by the weight of your love.

Mother, when will I be blessed

and become one with them?

In heaven your lunatics

gather in a parade,

gurus no better than disciples.

No one understands

the whimsical play of your love!

You too are maddened

and rave impassioned-

Mother, you are

the crowning jewel of the mad!

Make your beggar servant rich

with the same love-madness!

 

Trailokyanath Sanyal

 

*Chaitanya is the well-known Bengali Vaishnava saint and teacher of

the fifteenth-sixteenth centuries.
