Response from Swami to Poems of Nikhil and Devi
Dear Devotee! Proceed in your daily effort of penance,
With the burning mad love-climax on God Datta alone. (Chorus)
With endless love on her Krishna always, left even daily duties,
Such Radha alone in devotion-path got the unreachable Goloka!
Parents, life partners, issues and all other relatives drop out,
As soon as all the bonds are cut, bond with God alone remains!
Devotee sees God alone in any direction by searching looks,
Eating, drinking and sleep disappear, always God Datta only!
Even if worldly people are crying like crows in several ways,
Those cowherd women never cared, detached from world fully!
Prestige, discipline, justice, hell, tradition and fear for sin,
Are jumped over in madness by cowherd ladies, love-ideals!
Even if elephants crush, snakes bite, drowned in the ocean,
‘Shrimat Naaraayana’ hymn was not dropped by Prahlaada!
The hunter on seeing blood-streams from the eyes of God Shiva,
Wept and plucked out his eyes with arrow for eye-replacement!
In Brundavanam, in severe summer, walking on burning sand,
Radha cried ‘Madhava! Madhava!’, wept and breathed her last!
Siriyaala, killed his pretty child, cooked it to serve as food,
When God Shiva came in disguise and asked for such meal!
Shankara left mother, Prahlaada left father for the sake of God,
Buddha left wealth, wife and child, these are ideals of God-love!
On receiving pearl-garland, Hanuman didn’t see in any pearl,
Shri Rama, who was shown in His heart torn by His hand nails!
This song showing all the mega-stars in the path of devotion,
Shall be sung by every devotee, remembering for inspiration.
