O Lord,
tell me why You have remained far.
If ego was present,
why have You not crushed it?
Within Your light,
Your air,
and Your colour,
lies my development.
The earth and sky are Yours,
everything is filled with Your existence.
Though You are Great,
I am but a meagre particle.
O Lord of the universe!
You are the ultimate desideratum of everything inert;
On the other hand, I am the smallest, distressed pauper.
When there was nobody on this earth,
there was nothing achievable,
nor was there the effort for attainment.
O sweet one,
in the end, only one unexpressed longing remains,
and that is to attain You.
