SAINT MIRA
But thy devotion and thy deeds of love Will mc : with thee, O man ! On the pilgrim-path to thy Home And bless thee in the Land of Light !
Samsara, the phenomenal world, has no longer any attraction for Mira. Samsara is a “veil”, which separates the individual from the Life Divine. The “ veil” has now become for Mira a “mirror" in which she sees reflected the light of the Beloved. She has renounced : she has attained to the highest renunciation,--that of the self, the ego. She has emptied herself : she is "purified” through renunciation, and is filled with Krishna's love. She shines in the Divine Light : she lives in it. She has entered into the Kingdom of Krishna, the Kingdom of the "little ones”, the Kingdom of the gopis who are children of the Spirit and who commune with Him for ever. Mira now sees the samsara in Krishna, sees that He, her Beloved, is everywhere. Jidher dekhata hus oodher Tuhi Tun hai ! "Wherever I turn, I see Thy Lotus-face !" Mira sings in joy supreme :
Mira hath Thou accepted As Thy bride, Beloved !
And Mira wanders no more : Mira hath attained !
In the Songs, which Mira sings in the rapture of her richest realisation, I hear the music and joy
