IN THE DREAM TWILIGHT OF THE SOUL
(Bijoylakshmi Das)
Life flows fast but journey infinite,
Do not lose your goal: Wisdom’s foresight.
From Blue to Brown and Brown to Blue,
Your aim- the celestial Beyond that reckons the blissful hue.
Wedded to the airy wideness of a flawless felicity,
Trusted upon the unwavering call of the steadfast certitude,
Your journey begins from the womb of flesh and blood
It has to reach perfection of the boundless beatitude.
Alone in the serene tranquility of the inmost depth,
To breathe the air of freedom from long-lost time’s immemorial quest,
Like the winner of the game of clambering steps
Oh Sons of Eternity! Do reach eternal loving breast.
The wild wanton play of greed and unwanted desires though dance all around,
But you have no role to play in the fictitious play ground;
Let the world go mad in its self-made insane uproar,
All is its own creation, it has to suffer.
You are the unique voyager of the sublime height,
Do never interfere, Reach the timeless Beyond: your one and only Goal.
Your thoughts transcend the limits of the mortal mind,
Physique no more slaves to desire of the senses blind;
Enraptured by the Sweetheart’s myriad-hued ecstatic embrace,
You are one with Infinity merged into its infinite grace.
Sit solemn in the inexpressible heights of the expanse blue,
Your beauty enlivened with blessedness’ heavenly hue;
You are the blazing effulgence of the brightest sun,
Also you are the calm moon-beam delight of the most refreshing rays of the earliest Dawn.
Harbor not despair in your heart, you are no part of it,
You are the inhabitant of the kingdom of mystic magnificence with no territorial limit.
The indwelling Godhead in each and every mortal chamber:
Creation’s cherished embellishment of the highest divine order.
Oh incarnation of Bliss! Do not ever grieve,
Bliss is thy birthright and in Bliss you do live.
