Glimpses of Sentiments
TEARS ARE EVERYTHING
Oh Supreme Graceful ! With your sentimental devotion what happens to you? You may know it. But I do get some force, some warmth due to that. I derive tremendous courage from your devotion and therefore. I realise its value. Otherwise what is a concern between me and you. Because you are all powerful, the king of kings. I am a beggar roaming in the lanes of desires. My begging bowl is destined to remain empty. Even if you allow me to sit in your golden chariot I just can not leave my begging bowl. I am from such a mean class - lowly strata. Yet with devotion to you there is somewhat transformation. From the time immemorial only sublimation is of wrong kind of instincts. By the touch of which iron can turn into gold; similar kind of transformation takes place within myself. You adopt imperfect person like myself; that itself is the sign of your complete perfection. Your magnificent greatness and pious, highest position and being experienced by me. In your pious company I receive unprecedented peace, wonderful equanimity, unprecedented joy. Your nearness joins me with progress with a zero speed.
