Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Will such a day ever come, when crying Tara, Tara, Tara, I shall find my eyes streaming with tears? The lotus of my heart will burst into blossom, all darkness will leave my mind. Then I shall roll on the earth, crying always on the name of Tara. All difference and distinction I shall forsake; my sorrows of mind will finish. The formless Goddess, who is more than many hundred Vedas, shall be my lot. Sriramprasad proclaims: The Mother reigns in every vessel. Look, blind eyes, upon the Mother, the Night-Dispeller who dwells in night! --Ramprasad Sen HE IS INDIFFERENT TO HIS WORLDLY FORTUNE No matter what fortune thou grantest me, nothing is wanting if I forget thee not. Birth and labour and sorrow I take as sheer delight, if I but see Syama's rain-clouds in my heart. A body smeared with ashes or decked with jewels and gold; a lodging beneath a tree or a seat on a royal throne--to Kamalakanta all are one, if thou, my Mother, make his heart thy shrine. --KAMALAKANTA BHATTACHARYA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Ramprasad Sen catches this feeling: this world and the beings and things in it are empty, empty like dried dust in a wooden bowl. my own mind is of that nature -- my own mind is an empty and dry container. a lost soul, i cry out for the waters of the divine to not only fill my bowl, but to flood it. i cry out for that -- OH this current world is not acceptable. i refuse this world. negating it, i cry out for THEE. i refuse to be that lost soul -- i proclaim my heart identification with THAT. , "Sankar Viswanathan" <sankarrukku wrote: > > Will such a day ever come, when crying Tara, Tara, Tara, I shall > find my eyes streaming with tears? > > The lotus of my heart will burst into blossom, all darkness will leave > my mind.
