Crossing duality

Tuesday 27 July 2004.
 
Success is like a bubble bursting in thin air
Bringing in itself its heavy load of failures.
Shri Mother, let me cross human duality
To penetrate the space of detachment and peace.
Wealth is like a dirty cloth covering the soul
Accelerating the poverty of the mind.
Shri Mother, let me cross human duality
To enter the field of eternal crystal light.
Honours are like proud towers facing forceful winds
Ready to collapse into dishonour and shame.
Shri Mother, let me cross human duality
To taste Divine Amrut absorbing your Fragrance.
Fame is like velvet clouds crossing the hills and peaks
Changing suddenly in roaring storms of opprobe.
Shri Mother, let me cross human duality
To dilute oneself in truth, consciousness and bliss.
Beauty is a rainbow vanishing in ether
Hiding in a while the ugliness of hatred.
Shri Mother, let me cross human duality
To swing gently between your compassion and love.
Light is like a translucent net of pure colours
Trying to dispel darkness of relentless thoughts.
Shri Mother, let me cross human duality
To feel your heart pulsate in rhythmical beauty.
Strength is like the ephemeral shape of mighty waves
Leading to abrupt weakness while touching the sand.
Shri Mother, let me cross human duality
To undulate swiftly in the depth of your heart.
Happiness is firework colouring the sky
Bringing sadness at the sudden return of night.
Shri Mother, let me cross human duality
To see in ecstasy the radiance of your smile.
Activity is like leaves shaken by tempests
Leading to passivity as calmness comes back.
Shri Mother, let me cross human duality
To lose oneself at your Feet in silence and joy.
Shri Mother, let me cross worldly duality
To approach with owe the sublimity of God
Bathing in the ocean of Paramchaytanya
Leaving all words, but you Divine name Nirmala.
