Who can attain You
by the power of intellect?
All attain their intellect by Your grace only.
Many a time did I come to this earth
and again left,
and observed it all with my intellect.
On each step of mine,
I realised my ignorance.
I came to the conclusion
that, in this world,
You are the only essence.
I used to conceal this ignorance
on my face,
on my eyes
and in my conduct.
And due to the load of agony,
caused by this concealment,
I used to decline further.
When I attained intuition,
then I understood,
that Yours is a non causal grace.
----------------------------------------
Who can find You with the intellect
when everybody acquires intellect from You?
So many times I came and left this earth.
Everything did I measure with intellect.
I now realise my ignorance at every step I made.
You are the only real substance in this universe.
In my expressions I tried to cover up my ignorance,
with the pressure of that guilt,
I degenerated myself.
But You awakened me
and I ultimately realised
Your grace unexpectedly showering down upon me.
