Jadi Jagate Ja Chale Gela
Jadi jagate ja chale gela
Asibena phire ar
Smriti shudhu rekhe jai tar
Jadi je phulti jhare geche
Phutena se phul arbar
Tabe kena britha asa
Bhalo chilo ekakar
Bhalo chilo nirakar
Translation
If everything that the world has
Disappears and never returns,
Then why should we live on fruitless
Reminiscence-life?
If the life dies and never blossoms again,
Then why enter into this world?
I was quite satisfied in the higher world
Where I was formless and was alone.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 1, Agni Press, 1978
