I was
dead. You brought me back to life.
My being, once teemed with tears, you changed them into laughter.
As the
Power of Love came forth, I gained Everlasting Power.
My
senses are content; my soul, brimming with courage.
The courage
of a lion. Like Venus -- I shine forth.
He said, "Begone! You haven’t lost your sanity and no longer deserve to
be in this house!"
So, I went . I grew insane with love, chains and all and I
returned.
He said,"Leave! You are not drunk enough; not
one of us!"
So, I left. When I found the meaning of being drunk with my
whole being,
overwhelmed with joy, I returned.
He said,"What? Are you not prepared
to give your life – to melt your being
in bliss?"
And then I saw His Face; I would lay down my life for that life-bestowing
Face.
He said,"You are all guile; immersed in doubts and [mundane] thoughts!"
So, I became simple and ignorant; no doubts, no concerns. I
corrected my ways and disconnected myself from the influence of people.
He said, "You have become the shining
light and leader of this gathering!"
I objected: "I am not the
light! I am no leader here!"
So I turned into smoke and scattered in the six directions....
I am nolonger a leader, I am not out in front , anymore
I yield to Your command !
He said,"You have aspiring wings!
How can I give you new ones?"
So, I shed my feathers and left my wings, wanting only those He would give.
"Don’t give in to new promises", He said, "Don't
fret over promises of power and
position."
So,
through His Grace and Benevolence I drew
nearer.
He said,"Don't recount tales of
old love for us!"
I replied, "Yes-- I won't!" And I became still with Being.
My heart,
felt those lifegiving rays of light,
My heart
opened and swallowed the whole world.
