Glimpses of Sentiments
a bell.
I am performing your 'ARTI', offering prayer with a sacred 'Deep', lamp of my permanent complete surrender to yourself.
I have kept ready 'a chamar', a fan-like thing to wave in air at the time of prayer.
If you need a fan of sentiments, then, it is also ready.
A bed of solitary and a pillow of silence are also ready.
And in your service, I am also present.
Oh Bhagwant!
I feel that now the time for your arrival has come.
I am not a person to give you a very lengthy invitation and close the doors, you see.
By this reverse walk from the time immemorial if I do such thing, even then, you have the key of the doors of my soul.
Isn't it?
