9. Your Glory O’ Baba
How can I sing your glory, O’ Baba ! !
Is body is full of filth
I am afraid
When your name emanates from the core of my heart
And reaches my lips
It may get smeared
With the foul smell of my breath
Which may pollute it.
But haven’t it been said throught the ages,
The name of God sheds its eternal fragrance
All around
And purifies all that comes into its spere.
Why should then even the thought of pollution
Enter my mind
And waste the precious moments
Which shall never return.
10. A Visit to the Hills
Basking in the cool comfort of the hills
Amidst peaceful surroundings
All to myself
In the deep crevices of my heart
I adore you, O’ Baba!
How merciful and benevolent are you
To me
Bent down by age and physical infirmities
And yet the ‘I’ within
Enjoying the bounties of Nature
And thy abounding grace
Withi nothing in between,
I and you and the Mother Nature.
Could one crave for higher joys of life?
The supreme bliss overflowing
Both inside and outside me.
Why lament for the wasted days of life!
Those were yours and so is today.
O’ the Self live in the present.
As wasted moments shall return
Never again.
And feel His love and grace.
