You Fill My Cup

Wednesday 12 January 2005.
 
You fill my cup,
when like bumblebee in the field of blooming lotus flowers
I collect the nectar of your love
and lose myself in this abundance of beauty and sweetness.
 
You fill my cup,
when sitting alone and looking over the garden of flowers
I see your shining smile and beautiful face.
This smile I see when I offer you flowers.
What an auspicious vision!
 
You fill my cup,
when hearing your speeches
I feel myself drinking a heavenly amrut [1].
The more I drink it, the more I want.
 
You fill my cup,
when in a crowd of people
I can see easily in the light of your teachings
what is wrong with them,
and sometimes try to put them on the right path.
 
You fill my cup,
when giving self-realization to someone
immediately he(she) drops the coat of hate
to wear the coat of peace and love .
 
You fill my cup,
when I intend to do something and I try hard to work it out;
but, surprisingly, I notice that
You have already done it perfectly in my place.
Then, I can just enjoy it.
 
You fill my cup,
when like a Mother Hen covering Her beloved chicks,
you give us heat and protection.
You know, at this time, we are chilly and need you warm feathers.
Then, you feed us by putting food into our beaks.
What a wonderful hen!
 
You fill our cups Shri Mataji,
with your love,
with you compassion,
with your boundless wisdom.
