15. Come Baba Come
Come, Come, Baba Come!
The gates of my heart
Are lying wide open
Waiting for you to enter its portals
The soul within is craving
Since ages past
For your benign presence
It seems, now ready
To receive you
And merge in you.
Come, Come, Baba Come!
My surrender to you
May not have been complete
Even if so,
Ignore it
For I am your child.
Come, Come, Baba Come!
You are the apostle of love and compassion
So the seers say
Then why not take pity on me
Lift me up
And make me become one with you
So that I too may exhuberate
A bit of your love and compassion
Enabling me to render
Seva to those fortunate ones
Who have placed
Complete faith in you
Come, Come, Baba Come!
I know full well
I am asking for the moon
Without deserving what I yearn for
But let the waters of your Mercy
Purify my soul
Make it capable of receiving
And distributing your grace.
With abounding munificence
On those who seek it from you
But get lost,
In the labyrinth of worldliness,
Come, Come, Baba Come!
16. Sai in Procession
Suddenly the, gonds started ringing
Full throated ‘Jay Jay Kars’ arose
The scramble to occupy positions of vanage started
Lo!
The saint of Shirdi-Sai
Emerges from the Dwarkamayee
Shama holding His right arm
Buty, His left,
Baba’s left hand holding His torn ‘Kafni’
Right hand His ‘Satka’
He stops while walking
Bare footed
But his face wears a divine glow
Eyes an intoxicated look
As if drums of wine have gone down his throat
Shyam Sunder at the back
Accompanies His Master
A celestial sight indeed!
The procession stops in front of mud-house gate.
Radha Krishna Mai emerges
Her hands holding the puja thali
With coconut, kumkum, Haldi, betelnuts and rice seeds
The ghee Deepak spreading a dim glow
She waves the thali in fornt of Sai
The face of the Master of Eternity glows further.
A voice roars suddenly
Where are you hiding Ma Luxmibai,
Come out
Your Sai is standing before your door
Disappoint Him not
Come out with your Thali
And waive it
The procession moves on and on.
