```

2. Translation

```

Descend into my heart, O Lord Rudra,

O auspicious One, descend into my heart.

Blending the bounds of the finite in the Infinite,

O Beloved, enter into my heart

With love and compassion.

O Lord Rudra, you embody joy and sorrow

In infinite measure,

Remaining immobile even in utter destruction.

O Giver of calmness, O Stiller of fear,

You are being invoked

By your insignificant, devoted slave.

By the touch of the Feet of the Lord,

Who is ancient and ageless,

May the flute of transformation be played

In the heart of mankind today,

Destroying the immortal death. ```

3. Swalpe tushta

```

Tushti pushti swapne tripta

Dwandaha bishade srishti lipta

Mauni mukta tapasa siddha

Sarba oishi bivuthi hriddha

Purna indu asim dipti

Dibya jagye labuk tripti

```

4. Translation

```

Satisfied with a little, afraid of the vast,

Narrow are the confines

Of man’s boasting and vainglory.

Always preaching, always boasting and bragging,

Turning the ear deaf.

Seven inner seas are now wild and churning;

Each life is tired and sad.

Satisfaction and fulfilment only a dream.

The entire world is filled with suffering and conflict.

The silent, the liberated and the realised

Are rich in their heavenly treasure.

Let man’s inner moon of infinite Light

Get total satisfaction in the sacrifice divine.

```

5. Chale sei drutatama

6. Translation

```

He runs the fastest who does not run at all,

And who, like Lord Shiva, is in deep meditation,

Trance-bound, still, like day and night.

And those who run toward the oasis

In the deserts of desire,

How can they run in search of the Light Supreme? ```

8. Translation

```

Delighted with and enamoured of Your Songs,

Whose songs else have I to hear?

Satisfied with Your Gifts unparalleled,

The more obstructions I encounter on the way,

The greater will be my victory.

I am the child of Your Light Supreme,

Infinite and eternal.

10. Translation

```

Behold, tearing the heart of darkness,

The door of dawn opens.

O children, where are you?

Sing, sing the divine glory.

The queen of dawn descends

With her morning rays.

She has dragged me down

Into this world unknown. ```

```

12. Translation

```

Alas, if the finite never loves the Infinite,

How can the Infinite destroy the darkness

From the mind of the finite?

He who does not invoke the Inner Pilot

And always remains afar,

His life is bound to be lost

In the city of falsehood and destitution.

```

```

14. Translation

```

The heart cries and weeps

In the suffering of the vital,

In the groves of the mind.

Alas, the unconscious vital smiles and laughs;

It weeps not in shame

When the heart of the happy soul

Sheds tears for the sufferer.

I know, only in the heart of the happy soul

Will reside constantly the Life of the Infinite.

16. Translation

```

Mother, come into my heart at last,

At the end of all.

My heart’s choice is the torture of Your Love.

All my achievements dance in Your torture. ```

20. Translation

```

Thinking of You as my near one,

I have called upon You many times.

You have not responded; therefore, I shed tears.

Behold the flow of my tears.

Alas, if my sufferings do not touch Your Heart,

The flower of light will not bloom

In the garden of my heart.

22. Translation

```

In how many ways You have sung

The song of liberation in my heart.

In return You have received only

Unbearable pain.

I see all around me

The heavy load of poverty

And the slumber of inconscience.

How can I lose myself in the waters of peace? ```

26. Translation

```

I ask You for things,

Therefore, I am insignificant and destitute.

O Lord, if I equal You, then in me

The nectar of devotion will reside no more. ```

28. Translation

```

In the universal heart all hearts

Are one, inseparable, I know.

Yet knowing this,

I hurt the hearts of others day and night.

We are all the slaves of fate;

It dances on our foreheads.

In peace sublime is the extinction-sleep of fate.

I know this secret.

O Jewel of my eye,

Pour into my heart Your golden Silence. ```

```

If I do not see You,

I shall weep and weep and turn insane.

I shall conquer Your stone-Heart.

You are my quest, You are my achievement.

And You are my only identification.

I shall tell you one thing;

Therefore, I have come to your door.

In my teeming errors?

Striking my heart, do break asunder

The prison-cell of all my attachments. ```

Rupantarer banshi

```

38. Translation

```

With a mere smile You cannot conquer my heart.

I want the most luminous discovery of my heart,

Along with Your Smile.

Those who want Your Smile can have the downpour

Of Your infinite Smile in their hearts.

My self-awareness and my self-discovery alone

Can give me the flute of transformation.

```

```

40. Translation

```

You have given me eyes,

But You have not given me sight.

You have given me a heart,

But You have not given me love.

Around me is the hope of the false city.

In this life-game, whichever road I walk along,

In the twinkling of an eye, that road is closed.

I am the eternal warrior; I am the eternal war. ```

Brother, you won’t get it; you won’t get it.

You are building castles in the air.

Even though my hopes and dreams are not fulfilled,

How can I offer my heart’s love to anyone else,

No matter who calls me?

In the forest of our hearts

We shall only smile and smile.

We shall love every heart; we shall love.

From liberation we were born;

Peace is the companion of our mind.

Of the Mother’s Cosmic Game.

We march on,

Always chasing away darkness.

We shall bind Infinity

With the cord of our love divine.

In the forest of our hearts

We shall only smile and smile.

You are nothing but beauty, eternal beauty,

Wherever I turn my eyes.

O Beloved, do You hear them

By using my ears? ```

Today the light of Infinity’s clime has descended

Before which all lights are nothing but darkness.

And smilingly says: “The Pilot of the world-boat

Will play within my heart

At dawn, at noon, and at night.” ```

There is no end to my mistakes

Yet I watch everyone else’s mistakes.

The divine smile of my self-form

And the source of my soul

Chasing away the dense veil of darkness. ```

In the heart of freedom. ```

Resides in my heart. ```
