Bhabi Jakhan Tomai Jani
Bhabi jakhan tomai janiJanar amar kichui baki nai
Prane amar aghat hani
Balo hese ebar ami jai
Man diye tui karbi more joy
Nahi mile bhakti bina
Dibya parichoy
When I think that I have known You completely,
And I have nothing more to know,
Alas, You strike me, my proud vital,
And with a smile You tell me,
“Let Me go, let Me go.
You want to conquer Me with your mind.
You can never do that.
You can conquer Me only with your devotion-light.
You can know Me, what I truly am,
Only with your devotion-light.”
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 2, Agni Press, 1977
