Khelar Lagi Praner Thakur
Khelar lagi praner thakur
Garechhen ei bishwa khana
Ektu khele khela phele
Kothai ke jai jaina jana
Chardike sab khelar mela
Katoi bhabe katoi khela
Khelte khela bhaber hathe
Dekha cheye katoi khate
Nitya chali nutan khela
Ke shunbe go kahar mana
Translation
The Inner Pilot has created this world
For us to play.
After having played for a short while
We know not where we all go.
While we are on earth,
In various ways we enjoy our life’s myriad games.
How hard we have worked in our life’s marketplace.
At every moment a new game awaits us,
No restriction, no disciplinary action.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 3, Agni Press, 1981
