Glimpses of Sentiments
QUESTION AFTER REPENTANCE
Oh knower of spiritual knowledge ! I am absolutely stunned after hearing you. I feel boundless repentance for my hollow, baseless argument to believe your faithful realisation as a rational thing. I roamed here of a doubt extinguishing glowing light of faith. Leaving the summit of total surrender in on my own, I fell into a ditch of arguments. Instead of fragrant garden of total surrender I wandered in a rotten, dirty, garbage with unbearable foul smell. Even after wearing reddish grey clothes of devotion I could not do soul - searching, examining myself from within. Even after lightening pious fire of prayers I proved quite inadequate, weak in sacrificing all desires. Even after taking a dip in the ocean of sentiments he could not sacrifice his very costly high ambitions. Even after putting my entire body in your pious service, I just could not sacrifice my evil mind. Even after joining my tongue in a song of your praise, I just could not put any precept of yours into practice. I have lost many, many things, I have missed many many things in drunkenness of the intellect and in intoxication of logic being totally dependant upon them. Really, it is my mistake. I admit it. But, my Lord! Should I ask you a question ?
