Thus So My Thoughts Do Flow…
Thursday, April 24th, 2014
When 24th April revisits once again, the day that jolted the Sai fraternity initiating a ‘Cosmis Mayday’ how does each devoted heart take it and how do your thoughts flow on this day… reiterating…re-affirming…recapitulating all about the Celestial Beauty called Sri Sathya Sai… reminisces Sri Jullie Chaudhuri on the occasion of Aradhana Day…
My thoughts flow thus on this day,
All else becomes breathlessly still,
Oh! So still,
Churning on akin…
…to the blades of a windmill,
My thoughts flow thus on this day…
24th April -
…a date that is embossed within…
…consistently spinning through the mind…
…a constant replay…
…initially signaling with grave dismay…
…an ‘sos’…
…initiating a ‘Cosmic Mayday’…
The Beloved One’s decision…
…made life come to a brusque halt…
…a complete standstill…
Thus so, the thoughts flow on this day -
Deeply aware am i…
…about the era of Sathya Sai…
…the great grand splendours it has in store…
…that nothing…
…in the history of the created world…
…can ever equate…
The Lord’s Will…
…no factor or force can ever negate…
…nor nullify…
…for the Ultimate Source is…
…and forever will remain…
…Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai…
And so…
…i don’t speculate my fate…
…nor what the future holds for me…
…all i know is that -
Oh! My Precious Lord…
…You are forever holding me…
You are my life…
You are the way…
You are life’s way…
You are and always will be -
…my Mother…
…my Father…
…my Beloved One…
…my Truth…
…my Sathya…
…my Sai…
…my Beloved Mother Sai…
My thoughts continue…
…to flow thus on this day, sweet Lord…
…desiring to emulate Your way -
We touch infinity when we wipe a tear…
We augment harmony…
…when we reach out to those that are wounded…
…physically, emotionally…psychically…
Abandoned creatures…
…that form an intrinsic part of creation…
…any and every being…
…considering them near and dear…
We radiate light from the bosom of eternity…
…when we hug, bring a shy smile…
…a heart glow…
…a tail wag…
…and help erase…
…howsoever minute a clasp of fear…
This is the way to touch Your Essence…
…the Essence of Sai…
…for You are Infinite and You are Infinity…
You are Eternal and You are Eternity…
You are Truth, Love and Harmony…
Therefore, this is the way of kindred affinity…
…this is the Cosmic Path…
…this is the path of the Universal Heart…
…this is the way of Sathya Sai…
…this is the Sai way…
…this is the way to sway in sync…
…this is the way…this is the way…this is the way…
Thus so my thoughts flow on this day,
24th April…
…receding into sundry and mundane…
…all else becomes still…
Oh! So still…
So many lost and lonely souls…
…discarded as would be an inanimate object…
…emotionally wrecked…
…forgotten…
…rejected…forsaken…
…identity shaken…
…aged, infirm…
…innumerable beings from the human kind…
…find…
…that most humans are rarely kind…
…women, men, children…
…infants…
…go through trials…
…that cannot be justified…
…nor can their grief be defined…
Deserted and desolate…
Animals, birds, aquatic creatures – the ecosystem too…
…often face a similar fate…
Is there an answer to the question – Why?
Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu is the reply…
…a peace exuding remedy…
…bequeathed upon us all…
…by Beloved Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai…
…a transcendental rescue…
…elevated and exalted too…
Samastha Jeeva Sukhino Bhavantu…
…a unique intonation of compassion and peace…
…that radiates a magnificent hue…
Towards immorality and misconduct…
…vice, violence and misdeeds…
…ushering in a long awaited coup…
So on and so forth…
…my thoughts flow on this day…
This is the way out of the Illusory Play…
My thoughts flow thus on this day -
This is the way of kindred affinity…
…this is the Cosmic Path…
…this is the way to sway in sync…
…a resplendent celestial causeway…
…this is the way…this is the way…this is the way…
Dearest Bhagawan…
You are and always will be…
…my Mother…
…my Father…
…my loving Gurudeva…
…my Beloved One…
…my Truth…
…my Sathya…
…my Sai…
…my Beloved Mother Sai…
How can i not live only for You…?
Who else is there to live for…
…if not You…?
How can i not yearn for You…
…what else is there to yearn for…?
How can i not learn from You…
…what and who else is there to learn from…
…if not from You…?
How can i not long for You…
…who else is there to long for…?
How can i not belong to You…
…who else is there to belong to…?
…there is only You…
A fountain of feelings that splash and spray…
…my thoughts flow on thus…on this day…
There is nothing without You…
You forever…forever You…
…i live for You…i long for You…
…i yearn for You for i belong to You…
For…Beloved Mother…
You are and forever will be…
…my Truth…
…my Sathya…
…my Sai…
…my Beloved Mother Sathya Sai…
Hence,
…on this day…
…thus so even as my thoughts do linger…
…meander and flow…
…visions of You set my spirit aglow…
…i must follow Your way…
…for it represents the celestial causeway…
…through this Cosmic Play…
…there is nothing else to live for but You…
Consequently,
…that’s how…i remain embraced by infinity…
…within the bosom of eternity…
…then…
…every moment is a sublime rendezvous…
…with You…
…that enhances…
…of golden times…
…a wondrous retinue…
…a firm conviction reveals a phenomenal avenue…
Your era will herald in vistas anew…
…for You are You…
You are and forever will be…
…for me…
My everyone and everything…
…adoration for You…
…fills each tiny cell of my being…
…to You i must remain true…
Come…reveal Your Ultimate Sathya…
…allow us to soulfully revel in it too…
All else appears to be a shallow residue…
Bestow that grace…
…that glimpse, that glance…
…that appearance…that magnificent sight…
…so full of bliss ever so mellow…
Thus so…
…on this day…
24th April…enveloped in a hush…
…oh, so still…
…my thoughts do cruise…
…saunter, sail and flow…
You are all that i need to know…
…there is nothing left to sow, harvest…
…sift and winnow…
Allow me, Oh! Cherished One…to be Thy shadow…
…rendering all else as barren, vacuous, hollow…
Thus so…
…on this day…
…my thoughts do flow…
