You…I Do…Singularly Adore

Remaining forever for The Beloved One, when a soul yearns for His Touch Of Love…for Him alone…it expands to infinity…only to proclaim the Truth that He…He…and He alone exists… a beautiful poem from Sri Jullie Chaudhuri.

 

You, Oh! Beloved One…
…are the very breath that i take…
Every breath does all else forsake…
…for Your sake…
Each breath that i take is…
…is inhaled entirely for Your sake…
Yet,
…of its eagerness every single breath makes no pretense…
…even as it awaits the exclusive harmony…
…of Thy distinct Fragrance…
i know You ceaselessly hold me in Your arms…
Yet,
…i long perennially for Thy Cherished Presence…

At times identifying with the physical…
…as would a child…
…i crave for that tangible something…
…that will make every cell in my being joyously sing…
The ears await in hushed silence…
…for the specific sound of Thy footfall…
…Omniscient You are…
Yet,
…how can you not hear my anguished call…? 
…i know You are always with me…
Yet,
…i yearn to behold Thee in all that i see…
There is nothing that i can refer to as my own…
…there is nothing to which i can stake a claim…
Only Thy name…
Then,
…from incessantly…intensely calling out Thy name…
…myself, how can i restrain…?
Ignorant am i…
…oh! Beloved Mother Sai…
All i am aware of is that -
You are the Ocean…You the shore…
You the One i singularly adore…
…from deep within my core…
You are in me…and i remain in Thee…
You are in me…
…and in all creatures of the land, air and the sea…
You, precious Mother Sai…
You…are the One Who helps me soar high…
You alone can set me free…
Forever…Forever…Forever…
Through time and its corridors…
…as do reveal my memoirs…
…i remain forever Yours…
For me,
Forever translates to mean You…
You forever…forever is You…
You are forever…
…and i…
…i remain forever evermore in You…
