ABUNDANT JOY OF SENTIMENTS
:15: YOU KNOW A TALE OF MISERY
You Obstinate ! I want to see you but you do not want to be seen. I want to hear you but you do not want to be heard. I have been calling you since long. I shall speak; I shall go on speaking; until you break your silence. How far will you remain hidden from me ? Sometime at least you will let that happen. You will not be able to run away from here. I am the life of 'Bhisma-determination.' I am the life of diligent work. In this birth only, I shall gain you. This is my religious vow, penance, repetition of name. If you want to consider it my addiction, you may do so. If you want to consider it my habit, you may do so. If you want to consider it as my age-old bad habit you may do SO.
But I have only one desire, to have your 'Darshan.' Only for that daily I go on writing to you, talking to you. I do not want to bind you within boundaries of my words. But crossing all borders, limits of my words I want to merge into your limitless, boundless self.
