For your pious welcome there is an auspicious garland of green leaves of the faith. There are colourful designs drawn with colour of love. There are beautiful golden decoration of good wishes. There are blossoming flower of affection. There are 'Deep', lamps glowing with fragrance of culture, The peackock of the mind with emptied desires is cooing for you. My tongue which is constantly ready to talk with you, is waiting for you. To see you eagerly my eyes and ears are craving. To serve you, my hands and to reach you my both legs are very eager. Since quite sometime constantly repetition of your name, only your 'JAPA' continues. The heart is peacefull, in serenity, but not dull. In the mind there is innocent gayness but there is no ego, craving for respect, any attachment. I have an intense wish that even at the time of death I remember only yourself. There is unity of heat of logic and moonlight of the faith. Not of false pride but of the confidence of a devotee, I am ringing
