In the ocean of effulgence,
who kindled the lamp
that was bound by limitations?
In the all pervading cosmos,
why did this meagre "I" feeling appear?
In the intoxicating sweet night,
who did smile gently?
Which great entity pulled all
towards the singular source,
making them oblivious of everything else?
In the sound of the great cosmos,
who brought about the chirping of birds?
Breaking the walls of all obstacles,
whose love coloured my mind?
