Digest Number 583

[Guest guest]

Before there was a trace of this world of men,

I carried the memory of a lock of your hair,

A stray end gathered within me, though unknown.

Inside that invisible realm,

Your face like the sun longed to be seen,

Until each separate object was finally flung into vision.

>From the moment of time's first-drawn breath,

Love resides in us,

A treasure locked into the heart's hidden vault.

Before the first seed broke open the rosebud of Being,

An inner lark soared throuhg your meadows,

Heading towards Home.

What can I do but thank you one hundred times?

Your face illumines the shrine of my eyes,

Constantly present and lovely.

~ Bibi Hayati

 

Door of my heart open wide I keep for thee

Door of my heart open wide I keep for thee

Wilt though come, wilt thou come, just for once unto me?

Wilt though come, wilt thou come, just for once unto me?

Will my days pass away without seeing you my Lord?

Will my days pass away without seeing you my Lord?

Wilt though come, wilt thou come, just for once unto me?

~ Paramahansa Yogananda Bhajan

 

O Dark-colored Krishna with Radha, beloved goddess Lakshmi,

Abode of auspiciousness, hail to that cloud-colored One, who stays in

Vrindavana...

 

Worship the name of Rama, giver of bliss. The two syllables of 'Ra' and 'Ma'

will give all bliss and peace. Fall at the Feet of Lord Rama and attain the

fruition of Life.

~ Ammachi Bhajan

 

O my friends,

What can you tell me of Love,

Whose pathways are filled with strangeness

When you offer the Great One your love,

At the first step your body is crushed.

Next be ready to offer your head as His seat.

Be ready to orbit His lamp like a moth giving in to the light,

To live in the deer as she runs to the hunter's call,

In the partridge that swallows hot coals for love of the moon,

In the fish that, kept from the sea, happily dies.

Like a bee trapped for life in the closing of the sweet flower,

Mira has offered herself to her Lord.

She says, the single Lotus will swallow you whole.

~ Mirabai
