SONG OF EFFULGENCE

O, lead me on, eternal Friend (You whose tie of love is so great that no separation can be tolerated),


Lead me unto the fountain of effulgence.

O, lead me on.


I can no longer bear the pain of darkness in my heart.

O, lead me on.


With Your songs, break my deep slumber.

O, lead me on.



Central idea:

Paramapuruśa is the real friend. O Paramapuruśa, direct me unto the fountain of divine effulgence. I was slumbering in cimmerian darkness. I was an ordinary atom. But now I can no longer tolerate the staticity of darkness. O Paramapuruśa, sing before me the song which will arouse me from my deep slumber. Sing before me that song which will show me what is what and which is which.
