17. Script A Different Story

2011-02-11T22:17:00.000-08:00

Oh Lord, let me once try

As Your birds do in Your sky
Rise, float, glide and fly
Only to let all the past die!

Let me live again Your child's way:
Act in new dreams during the day.
Keeping all nightmares at bay,
Have fun, come whatever may.

Leaving tear, fear and worry
For others to store in their glory.
Let me enjoy and not be sorry.
Let me script a different story.

(During such periods in different eras, I believe thatYou are pleased to appear as the Force to rescue the honest, to destroy the evil miscreants and re-establish the equilibrium, order and balance of attributes and properties.)

Paritranayo Sadhunaam Binashaye cha Dushkritaam, Dharmo Sanhstaponarthoyo Sambhovaamee Yugay Yugay: meaning -" I create myself as human being during those periods when dharmyo (not religion) weakens and adharmyo spreads. To protect the honest, eradicate the evil miscreants and establish Dharmyo, I emerge in different eras."

(You will Hide My Self

When the body will no longer identify with my name,
No thoughts will flow through the mind,
All desires will exhaust and disappear,
That only will bring the greatest fulfillment.
That’s the moment when all giving and receiving
will dissolve,
That’s when there will be none to identify my Self,
And, none to search for my Self in this world of forms.

When life will get alive to the music of unity of all lives
And, get filled with the silent tune of the Truth of oneness equality.
Then, Your heart will once again vibrate in deep attraction,
And, You will beckon me in earnest singing in Your melodious voice.
You will tie me with the ribbon of delusion and love me once again.
You will make me forget all my meditation, and hide my Self in You.]

(Over the days of my life, I have built you as my own creation and in the process made you an integral part of my life now. In a similar manner, why don't You recognize me as your Creator and bring me the liberation from this worldly life. That is Your obligation, that is your duty.)

(listen to the song on Tagore's Rabindrik tune at http://soundcloud.com/user7073242/seshbelatir-sesh-kabe )

English Translation:

Till when does this last phase of my game last?
Your end-move can I ever forcast!
As strengths erode, worries gush in in abundance,
I transfer them to you and remain happy in ignorance.
All illusion of attachment, you demolish.
Forcing all clouds of worry to vanish.
You keep me enchanted with this new game.

When others tire carrying life's workload to the best of their ability,
You lead me alone beside them, keeping me engrossed in irrelevant activity.
Others inquire with me,' Why suddenly this childish choice'?
I respond, 'With You as playmate, I have reasons to rejoice'.

In this last phase you seduce me
To play this game that's win-loss free.
In this end game, you only play with me.

Bliss of Lost Identity

You only have been powering me,
You only have mapped my journey.
You exist in your operating mechanism,
I marvel at it as my creative dynamism.

At the turns of the path you follow,
I merely see only my own footprints glow:
Just as the ignorance of dark night
Signs on the Truth canvass of day-light.

Your path is so divided into parts infinity
To build in me the fullness of false identity.
Your Journey so vast and infinitesimal
Fills me with ego - strong and tall.

In the end, these innumerable moments of pride
Get washed away by the waves of your stride.
That's when I realize You as the sole Eternity.
Then only I enjoy the Great Bliss of losing my identity.
