Upartato Dekha Gela
Upartato dekha gela
Kebal shudhu kolahal
Dub diye chal dekhi niche
Kato khani gabhir jal
Jibantato dekha gela
Shudhu kebal phanki
Maranta chal dekhini bhai
Ota kena thakbe baki
Translation
I have been upstairs.
There is nothing but confusion-din.
Let us dive deep within
And see what we can discover
In Reality’s Consciousness-water.
Life, we have tasted.
It is nothing but deception-destruction.
Let us now enter into the world of death
And observe what it is.
Why should death remain unnoticed
And undiscovered?
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 1, Agni Press, 1978
