ABUNDANT JOY OF SENTIMENTS
:19: MY INTIMATE ANXIETY
Oh Supreme Soul ! How should I recognise you ? How can I ensure that you are near me ? You do not have any form, any appearance which I can see with my eyes. You do not have any word that I can hear you from ears. You do not have your own fragrance that I can recognise with my nose. You do not have any peculiar touch that I can recognise from the skin. You do not have any sweet-sour taste which I can taste with my tongue. You do not have any special sign by which I can know you. Oh Lord! All my five senses have become blunt to understand you. My heart with its intersting attachment for worldly materialistic things is unable to recognise you, and my mind to recognise you, is absolutely weak and poor in skills. With the support of logic to know you is absolutely impossible. Then how should I know you ? Scriptures- religious treatises and books also do not reveal anything about your form which is beyond words. You do not have any body. Then how even your shadow could be obtained ?
