A Modest and meagre transalation of a Song in Thiruvasagam

Poovar Chenni Mannan…

Surrender to the King adored in flowers of love
Kindly allow this little self unite with thy lotus abode
Thou the Mercy Personified flooded us
With the ocean of love
Verily Thee, watch us unsheathe
the layers of falsehood

In thee, The Rivers of senses dare not evade!
In thy mercy, delivered the very thought of “want”!
In thy infinite universe, lies the place of this pity self toofor the want of the Holiest one’s grace let us persevere-
All our Heart and Soul, blood and being
Whilst not even slightest thought of doubt permeate!

I am my relative… I am my fate…
What am I? For that is MINE?
What MAGIC (MAYA) can cure this DELUSION (MAYA)?
Permit us the journey through the path
That is full of garlands of the ancient yore
The one who is the light of the inward eye!
Awaken us in light, Oh lord!

Deliver us from the grip of thy play
That whirls the whole in action!
Let me be the l(e)ast to attain thy feet
So that I can leave the last notes of thy praise
Let this body become the feed to the shrubs,
But the soul to the holy one’s silence!

This is the journey for the final Refuge,
Oh the Children of the joyful Shiva loga-
Where from rivers of hope of eternal solitude;
Flow and nourish-
The east, the west, north, and the south,
From pits to palaces!
In that hope, Verily assured we march ahead-
For Never the gates of Shiva loga closes for
The one who is devoted in the holiest one’s love
Let’s praise and hail, revere and persevere,
We are broken and melted in that moment of Absolute absorption!

The bliss of the golden lotuses of Master’s abode invites as ever
Into the absolute stillness abode amidst the ever moving universe

Where lays the Incomprehensible!
What words could praise or describe him after all?
Let not even one fall low in their desire or ascent
To achieve the lotus feet- hardest to attain
The most precious to possess!

If there is anything ...

If there is anything to be done, let it be within me! If anyone who needs change, it's only me! What outside me, stays in my control? Who outside me, plays well, my role? How tiring the job of seeking to fix everything but me? How futile yearning to build a garden without sweat mine? I am the wound, I am the healing; I am the question, I am the answer! I am the logic, I am the magic; I am the cause, I am the effect! The Great Mother has put the macrocosm in this tiny microcosm! Weilder of great powers, wields Her arrows through this bow! This heart, Thy abode, Thy gift! Beginning of all Joy, end of all misery! The breeze that moves, flowers that dance, joy that stills,  Fragrance that sings, is all Thou, My beholder!

Face the fear

Greatest truth is revealed when we face our deepest fears! As windmills of time ripen the fruit open to reveal the seed. The journey of evolution is turbulently spiral; For the firmest resolution to ascend, is cyclical. We enjoy, we forget; we struggle, we remember; Who escapes this design but for the one who soar! Behold your friends, still they may desert you; Behold the trust, still it would betray you; Plans after plans crumbles as pack of cards, Destiny after mutiny, hides in the light of stars; In this game, the illusion of leading is veil of struggle; Fame and shame, convolves pain with every purpose. What you do when winds stop breezing you? How do you move when lethargy stalls binding you? Talk empty philosophies & inherited glories of past? Or walk in crowd, heads straight as if no shadows last? My friend, my soul, I am seeing you from within; I stayed within you, before you knew yourself. I have read your journey before your first step. You may cover yourself...

Heart in Pain

What's the best music I can hear?   It's the silence within my own self,   Finding contentment in solitude.   Let this divine melody   Wrap the world in harmony. Yunus says no worship is worthwhile   If it breaks a single heart   Where the Beloved resides. Rumi advises,   "Let the heart break open   For light to enter." Here, dwijaha says,   "Let a thousand hearts break,   Let them blame you for their pain.   Bless them all in your heart,   For you are the medicine   That heals every heart & soul."
