Grace of The Mother
A
spark ignites this mind primed by devotion.
Bliss-streams spread
in all directions,
Your light is the abode of all caresses.
An
ordinary lover gives the beloved sweets,
You give the sweetness
of sweetness,
And ask for nothing in return.
My eyes
close and I fall deep within your bliss-web.
Your love spreads
out through me,
And blindly falls into the hearts of others.
The
thought of You is Your very grace,
Nothing more is needed.
All
else turns into bliss-clouds,
And showers Your spellbinding
light-drops.
How I wonder at all my misplaced
affections,
Towards the mere dust-forms that kept You
veiled.
Any powers that should animate within me,
Let them
explore the ends of space and time,
And gather all the fragments
of my affection,
So that they may be made whole and concentrated
upon You.
How
mysteriously You slept within me,
And now even more
unfathomable,
By a single glance You have awakened Your divine
love.
Your presence silently seeks my consent,
To enter
into every hidden crevasse of my being.
All I can say is “Yes!
Yes! Yes! Let it be so!”
How strange it is that through
rigid discipline,
You have now made me soft,
Like foam born
at the base of a waterfall.
Let this body and mind be infinitely
malleable,
So that they may conform perfectly to Your
wonder-forms of light.
Your love speaks a thousand pages
of insight in a single flash,
An array of wisdom-lighting brings
peace to this mind.
The knowledge of all else becomes brittle
and useless,
Like paper burnt up by the never-ending rays of the
Sun.
In visions, You show me all the times I forgot You,
Which
sets my heart ablaze to be with You all the more.
Each day
is a churning that culminates in Your grace.
In the morning I
awake dreary from the dream shadows,
My heart dimmed by the
musty residue of memory tangles.
Your presence enters quietly
with the soothing life essence,
And by the afternoon I am
overflowing with the bliss-elixir.
The evening comes and the
world ceases,
You and I meet in union under the constellation of
love.
Dear Mother, may You bless me that this union be ever
constant!
Let me leave the raft that seeks the other
shore,
And sink deep within You this very moment.
How can I
fear the Mother’s embrace?
You held me even when I turned away
from You.
My distance appears to have only made You more
generous,
Now that I drift back to You like a leaf falling
towards the earth.
As
long as this body remains, let it be unafraid,
Let it speak with
the glory of your light-beams.
May it bring the hearts of others
in tune with Your music,
Which reverberates throughout all the
worlds,
As it heralds all life-forms towards the mystical parade
of salvation.
Let all the days and nights of this planet be
filled with such joy,
That even gods from unparalleled
dimensions,
Seek to join the bliss-festival crowned by the
jewel of Your love.
