in the inanimate being,
which in some moments
I have got in these feet, Mother!
The sandal wood from Malaya mountain
and
enticing, shining moonlight also have jumped away somewhere from the mind,
your coolness has rained
happiness
on my body today.
Mother! You are a cool tendril! Shivayani (abode of liberation) incarnate!
In thy lap
I will get more understanding, Mother! In thy lap
further research will begin
of the aggregate of innumerable virtues,
Mother!
And listen, Mother!
I do not fear illness so much
as I fear mental perturbance,
and I do not fear mental perturbance so much as I fear upadhi (outside possessions).
I need upadhi, not upadhi, Mother!
I may get samadhi-samadhi (equanimity-trance),
