ABUNDANT JOY OF SENTIMENTS
When you are with me, I constantly get warmth-heat. Since you are with me, I call my constant walking a pilgrimage. Otherwise it would be only wandering and roaming. Oh Omnipresent ! (All pervading God!) To walk is my responsibility. But to take care is your responsibility. You are near and yet how far! quite far! On Ocean of compassion! You are so cruel! You will have to meet me, surely How long will you hide yourself? Even in much darkness, I shall catch you. Because you are, on your own, glorious! That is why even with my weak eyes I dare to find you. You do not have any escape but to meet me. I have only one thing to say, you come, come and come. Once you meet me then----- You will not have any place to slip away. Then even your and my addresses will not be different. T have been calling you since long, I have been remembering. I do not remember having met each other. Yet your memory comes within me on its own. That is certainly a sign of our meeting sometime, somewhere. When an experience of which is not there, how could be memory thereof is possible?
