Ant: Glory

Ant, my ant,
In you my heart beholds
The glory of the Supreme.

Of the Omnipotent.

Because you represent
One extremity of God,
His message of smallness;
In another word, His greatness.

Bat: Peculiarity

Bat, my bat,
With your strange peculiarity-light you see at night,
And we see during the day.

And we during the night.
God is merciful.
Let us pray;
He will grant us His deathless Ray.

Bear: Vengefulness

Bear, my bear,

And wild ignorance-clay.

Buffalo, my buffalo,
O bearer of Yamaraj,
King of death,
Your wisdom-sun

Are made supremely one,
Nothing is done, nothing is done.

Cock, my cock,
Why do you give the death-signal?
"What can I do?
God chose me and made me the
instrument

Not forever.
I tell the weary man,
'Go and take rest.
My friend death has carefully
prepared
His nest
For you, only for you.'"

Cockroach: Unpleasantness

Cockroach, my cockroach,
Your unpleasantness-interference
Creates a serious problem
For mankind.

In our restful and fruitful conference,
And in our life of
pleasure-indulgence?

From the horizon of service-freedom.

Cricket: Illumination

Cricket, my cricket,

And His creation's unfathomed enormity.

Crow: Death-Force

Crow, my crow,
For God's sake,
Don't sit on my head,
Don't sit on my shoulders,

And fly away into the sky.
You rascal!
Don't darken my door
Until I have eaten
My nectar-bread.

In measureless measure.

You have the discrimination-power
To separate milk from water

You separate from
Eternity's devouring fight,
And you use
Infinity's silver peace
To satisfy your great need.

Eagle: Vision

Eagle, my eagle,
Your high vision wants to soar above

Go not together,
Never!
Be wise, be not
Stupidly clever.

And sing the song of
salvation-perfection.

God's own Hand.

Horse, my horse,
I envy you.

Far beyond the domain of clay.

Louse, my louse,
Why do you devour
With your atrocity-hunger

Man's angry hands
Shall destroy you, your life-blood.

Mosquito, my mosquito,
You torture humanity's breath
With your tiny body, your outer frame.

What is important is capacity's life.
How secretly you carry
Death-King's secret knife!

Indeed, you will be supremely fruitful.

Parrot, my parrot,

Shark, my shark,
I am so proud of you.

Save God's Compassion-Flood,
Nothing is found
In your ignoble blood.

Around his divine neck.

A painful farce.

Squirrel, my squirrel,
You served the Lord Rama
With your devoted service.

On your heart.
Your service-glory
Is far beyond the death-dart.

Swan, my swan,
How did you attain your
God-realisation?
How did you perform
Such a difficult task?

By offering my life's
Ignorance-husk and ignorance-bark
To the Supreme
The moment
My hour dawned
In my weeping life.
What I have now is God.
What I have now is God's
All-fulfilling Illumination-Life."

Tiger: Cruelty

Tiger, my tiger,

Inside the vital of your delay
Looms large your world-failure day.

Tortoise, my tortoise,
Your slow, self-controlled
Confidence-life
Challenges ignorance-knife
And sows the seeds of immortality —
