Oh, Dear Friend Divine,
it’s me again!
I know You must have had enough,
but, hey, I won’t give up calling You!
I keep swimming in the dualities
of this material world
yet, trying to call out for You,
alas, I guess that is what hypocrites do!
The sages of the past promised me
that Your Names Divine
will intoxicate my mind and heart,
but chanting Them,
I feel nothing else, but deaf and blind!
Oh, the sages
they promised,
that the tongue will dance
in my mouth,
tasting the transcendental sound,
and experiencing the bliss of being unbound!
Alas, all I feel is as if
I am chewing the ground,
tasteless, bitter, poisonous,
trepidations in my heart–
no trace of transcendental sound,
no trace of ecstatic dancing all around!
Anyway, I will keep calling You,
for I have faith in promises,
for I know that pleases You,
for I have nothing else to lose.
I will keep calling You,
so, one day the bitter taste goes far away,
so, one day my poisoned mind becomes unbound,
so, one day my heart dances all around!
Oh, Dear Friend Divine,
please, kindly,
reveal Yourself
in Thy Holy Name!
Oh, Dear Friend Divine,
now is the time,
to let me taste
the boundless bliss
coming from your Flute Divine!
