You are so close,
yet, at the same time,
You are very far.
I know that You observe my inner core.
Why then do You make me feel so impatient and distressed?
In search of You,
I have visited many countries.
I have wandered through mountains and jungles.
I took baths in many holy ponds and rivers.
But I never cared to look within.
Since eternity You have been playing Your divine game with me.
Sometimes You come close
and sometimes You go far,
sounding Your smiling ankle bells.
