ABUNDANT JOY OF SENTIMENTS
are not there. But again while closing the doors, I fear that you do not run away seeing the doors closed. You are not there and you are there in this mysterious game, I have been swinging for quite sometime. Enjoying this merriment, I shall not get tired. It seems that the more time is required in searching rather than for meeting you. The moment a mother sees her child for the first time, her pain of pregnancy and of therefore bearing it in her belly, instantly ends there. Similarly the pain of searching you will get finished as soon as the moment of our sweet meeling; I have full trust in this. When I shall have your 'DARSHAN', my eyes will become pilgrimage place. When I hear your sweet voice, my ears will become pilgrimage place. When there will be pious touch of your lotus like feet, they will become pilgimage place. At your feet there would be a threefold merger_ lotuslike my hands, lotuslike my eyes, lotuslike my heart. Then my joy will be unbounded. Yes, when that auspicious moment comes then that would be considered fulfilling my chain of several births but I also know that not in any other place but in my anxious worries, my intensive eagerness, my waiting for a long time, you are hidden there becoming quite attentive. And, therefore I shall not have much difficulty in finding you. "Meet me in the depth of my mind, BHAGWAN!" The meaning of above saying seems like this. Whenever I think, I can gain your what more fortune could be there than this?
