BT Song 1411
Another song depicting a tussle with God. As I often talk too much, either in prayer or through writing poems, I fail to hear the voice of the Lord. Therefore, I requested Him to take the initiative by giving me a hint about His plan well in advance so that I can be prepared to listen to Him silently by shutting my mouth.
BT Song 1411 Shut my mouth
Simple English Version
1. Until you come on your own
And tell me,
There is nothing
For me to ask.
2. As you have done in the past,
Now you won’t do as I request,
Therefore now time has come
For me to listen to you.
3. So far,
I have asked
So many things
In the name of prayer.
4. Added to this,
In the name of writing poems,
I shared so many things
With you.
5. In between, if your voice
Ever tried to reach me,
I failed to listen
Because of so much noise that I made.
6. Though I read
Your Veda only for a few minutes,
I failed to listen
To what you want to convey.
7. More than this,
I often quarreled with you
By questioning
About not talking to me.
8. Now an end has
Come to this,
And time has come
For me to listen to you.
9. If you give a
Small hint about
How you are
Going to talk to me,
10. This servant will
Be prepared well ahead
And will
Wait for you to listen.
11. Not doing that,
If you remain silent
Like a mute,
What can I do?
12. Can I stop
Praying to you
Or could I stop
Writing poems?
13. Or can I control
The noise of my mind
In order to
Listen to you?
14. Keeping all this in your mind,
It is better for you
To come on your own
To talk to me.
15. How you are going
To do that
Is your problem,
But now shut my mouth.
Gurukulam, 28-07-2022, 10.30 p.m.
BT Song 1411 Shut my mouth
Classical English Version
1. Until thou comest of thine own accord
And speak’st to me,
There is naught
For me to ask.
2. As thou hast done in times past,
Now thou wilt not heed my request,
Therefore the time hath come
For me to hearken unto thee.
3. Thus far,
I have petitioned
For many things
In the name of prayer.
4. Additionally,
In the guise of writing verse,
I have shared so much
With thee.
5. In between, if thy voice
E’er tried to reach me,
I failed to hear
Amidst the noise I didst create.
6. Though I perused
Thy Vedas for but a brief moment,
I failed to comprehend
What thou wouldst convey.
7. Moreover,
I oft did quarrel with thee,
Questioning
Why thou speakest not to me.
8. Now an end
Hath come to this,
And the time hath come
For me to hearken unto thee.
9. If thou givest
A mere hint
Of how thou wilt
Speak to me,
10. This servant
Will be prepared beforehand
And shall
Await thy words.
11. If thou dost not,
And remain’st silent
As a mute,
What then can I do?
12. Can I cease
My prayers to thee
Or refrain
From writing verse?
13. Can I still
The clamor of my mind
In order to
Hear thee?
14. Bearing all this in mind,
‘Tis better that thou
Come of thine own accord
To speak with me.
15. How thou wilt do
This thing
Is thine to solve,
But now, do thou shut my mouth.

BT Song 1412
We must ask God, knowing that before we ask, She already knows all our needs. However, when I do ask, my selfishness often overshadows my true needs. As a result, I sometimes hesitate to ask. At the same time, I expect God to know my needs and do what is best for me according to Her will. So, I finally left it up to Her to act wisely and provide for me before I even ask for anything.
BT Song 1412 Be Smart
Simple English Version
1. What is there for you to feel proud
Giving only after I have asked?
Your greatness lies in
Giving before I have asked.
2. But as you alone
Told me to ask,
I also came to ask you.
This is the truth now.
3. First, thinking
What I should ask,
Then I asked you
As per my need.
4. Going beyond the
Need of the body, heart,
And mind, there is a
Need for this soul.
5. But I feel shy
To share it,
As you knew
Well before I asked.
6. How much my shyness
Prevents me to ask,
Still, I have to listen to
What my heart says.
7. As desire never
Knows shyness,
I should ask
What I desired.
8. But when you give
On your own,
The blessings that I receive
Increase many fold.
9. And when you sanction
After I have requested,
My heart feels
Some kind of shortcoming in it.
10. Therefore, when
You give on your own,
Both my wellbeing and your greatness
Are accomplished.
11. Therefore, thinking
Which one is good for both,
Better you give
As a Smart Person.
Gurukulam, 28-07-2022, 10.30 p.m.
BT Song 1412 Be Smart
Classical English Version
1. What cause hast thou for pride,
In giving only when I have asked?
Thy greatness is revealed
In bestowing gifts unasked.
2. Yet, as thou alone
Commanded me to ask,
I have come to petition thee.
This now is truth.
3. First, pondering
What I should request,
Then I petitioned thee
According to my need.
4. Beyond the needs
Of body, heart, and mind,
There is a
Need for the soul.
5. Yet I am shy
To express it,
As thou knewest
Well before my asking.
6. How much my shyness
Hinders my request,
Still, I must heed
The voice of my heart.
7. For desire knows
No shyness,
I must seek
What my heart desires.
8. Yet when thou givest
Of thine own accord,
The blessings I receive
Are magnified.
9. When thou grantest
My requests,
My heart feels
A certain lack.
10. Therefore, when
Thou givest unbidden,
Both my welfare and thy greatness
Are fulfilled.
11. Hence, pondering
What is best for both,
‘Tis wiser that thou
Givest as a sage.

BT Song 1413 Speak Clearly
Simple English Version
1. When I ask you a question,
You answer with a riddle.
Why do you not speak plainly?
It is clarity that I seek.
2. Your words are like a puzzle,
Pieces that do not fit.
Why make it so hard
For me to understand?
3. I come to you for wisdom,
But leave more confused.
If you have the answers,
Why not share them clearly?
4. I know you are wise,
Beyond what I can grasp.
But a little simplicity
Would go a long way.
5. Do not wrap your truths
In layers I cannot peel.
Speak plainly to me,
So I may learn.
6. I am not asking for much,
Just a bit of light.
Your wisdom is a beacon,
But its rays are veiled.
7. Strip away the mystery,
And let your words shine.
I seek understanding,
Not more confusion.
8. If you speak clearly,
I can follow your path.
Do not lead me astray
With cryptic messages.
9. I come to you with trust,
Do not betray it.
Show me the way
In words I can comprehend.
10. Your knowledge is vast,
I know this well.
But I am a simple seeker,
Guide me simply.
11. Your teachings are profound,
I do not deny.
But they lose their power
When wrapped in enigma.
12. Speak clearly to me,
And I will follow.
Your wisdom is a treasure,
Let it shine without a veil.
13. If I am to learn,
I need your clarity.
Your words are a guide,
Make them clear.
14. I am ready to listen,
But I need to understand.
Speak plainly,
So I may grow.
15. Your wisdom is a gift,
Do not hide it.
Speak clearly to me,
And I will learn.

BT Song 1413
This song is about my struggle with my own heart or mind. Though I firmly believe that everything is a function of my brain, there is something beyond it or behind it that guides, controls, and coordinates all its functions. Various philosophies and worldviews have different terms to explain our psyche. But besides me, God is there to take care of things in a devotee’s life. So, despite my personal struggle with my mind, I can still take it to God, both requesting and teasing Him.
BT Song 1413 Keep Quiet
Simple English Version
1. Like a child
That cannot understand,
My heart also
Asks so many things.
2. If I scold it,
Thinking it asks
Without knowing properly,
It becomes more stubborn.
3. Realizing that
It won’t listen to my advice,
I begged it to
Listen to others’ counseling.
4. But it replied:
When I am not
Listening to you,
How will I listen to others?
5. Thinking that it
Need not listen to me
Or others, but
It will surely listen to you.
6. Telling very gently
About you,
And assuming that
Surely it will listen if you tell.
7. When it remained
Very calm,
Sitting next to it
With much affection.
8. Knowing its nature,
With much hesitation,
When I began to talk,
Swallowing my words.
9. Looking at me
With a mocking smile,
As if saying,
Why this unnecessary work?
10. As it began to
Stare at me with anger,
I even forgot
What I thought of telling it.
11. Then I realized
Its true nature.
What else is there
To tell more about it?
12. Thinking that
I am very childish,
And wantonly,
As the heart is doing.
13. I shut my mouth,
Realizing that
There is no use
In telling anyone about it.
14. However, thinking that
Let me tell just for the sake of telling,
I came unto you
And shared this.
15. If possible,
Try to change my heart.
If it is not possible,
You also keep quiet.

BT Song 1413 Keep Quiet
Classical English Version
1. Like a child
That cannot comprehend,
My heart also
Asks many things.
2. If I chastise it,
Thinking it asks
Without proper knowledge,
It grows more obstinate.
3. Realizing that
It heeds not my counsel,
I entreated it to
Listen to others’ advice.
4. But it retorted:
When I hearken not
Unto thee,
How shall I heed others?
5. Thus thinking it
Need not heed me
Or others, but
Would surely listen to thee.
6. Speaking gently
About thee,
Assuming it would
Surely listen if thou didst speak.
7. When it remained
Quite serene,
Sitting beside it
With much affection.
8. Knowing its nature,
With great hesitation,
I began to speak,
But swallowed my words.
9. Gazing at me
With a mocking smile,
As if to say,
Why this futile effort?
10. As it began to
Gaze at me in anger,
I forgot even
What I intended to say.
11. Then I understood
Its true nature.
What more is there
To say about it?
12. Thinking myself
Quite childish,
And wantonly,
As the heart does.
13. I sealed my lips,
Realizing there is no use
In speaking to anyone
About it.
14. However, thinking
I shall speak just for speaking’s sake,
I came to thee
And shared this.
15. If possible,
Try to change my heart.
If it is not possible,
Thou also keep silent.

BT Song 1414
Once again, my mother became very upset with everyone and everything. No matter how much we do our best, even going beyond our capacity, she is not happy. She finds life boring and becomes tired of the routine which seems stagnant to her. Added to this, the heavy downpour of rain over the past several weeks has deprived her of her only entertainment, the TV, due to lack of signal, which further irritates her. So, I had to rebuke her as she was not listening to anything I said. Then I became upset with myself. Knowing her limitations, I should have had more patience than her. Later, as my mother ventured out with me, after our evening walk, I turned my anger towards the Lord and wrote this song to pour out my heart.

1. How many explanations
You might give,
I don’t need
Any of them.
2. My expectation is
Only one thing,
But you never
Agree with it.
3. When I live
Accepting your expectation,
Knowing well
The reason behind it.
4. What is the reason
For you not to accept
My expectation
From you?
5. How many explanations
You are giving for that,
How many illustrations
You added to it.
6. Can’t I talk
More than that?
Can’t I give
More explanations than you?
7. Can’t I write
More poems,
Giving many illustrations,
And present them to you?
8. If the mother leaps
Eight feet,
The baby also knows
To leap sixteen feet.
9. This one illustration
Is more than enough.
Hope you understand
What I am trying to say.
10. Okay, leave it.
Is this any court
For someone else
To give judgement?
11. Is this our argument
Ever new for us?
There won’t be
An end to this.
12. Not beating
Around the bush,
Sharing our matter
Directly with each other.
13. We should reach
A common solution,
And you alone should give
The answer to this.

BT Song 1415
My mother has become tired of her life. Though she enjoys a better, more luxurious life compared to others her age, life is still boring for her. She remains active, able to walk with the help of a walker, watch her favorite TV program for two hours, still does cross-stitch work, eats her regular food with lots of pickles (which offer too many varieties for her to choose from), and often fights with me (indeed, she is very lucky in this). But she feels very lonely as there is no one to talk with her. When I pointed out that now two helpers are here to take care of her and that she won’t find anyone to talk with even if she is shifted to another place, she refuses to accept it.
But my condition is the same. Though I enjoy my present life in the ashram, appreciating the calmness around me and engaging in my regular reading and writing, life remains the same. This is the reality for every old person. So, when this evening my mother began to lament about her life here, I felt very sorry for her. As I was about to go to bed, I became a bit upset with God for allowing this kind of life for humans. He should have fixed the maximum age at 60. When I began to write this song, my aim was to rebuke, question, and argue with God. However, after writing ten stanzas and preparing to challenge the Lord to come and live again as an old man, an alternative thought came to my mind. The entire theme of the song changed, and I stood before God unable to answer His question and argument.
Parents sacrifice a lot, particularly mothers, to bring up their children. Still, there is some selfishness in this. After getting married, most couples want to have children. Due to social pressure and anxiety about having only one child (in case something happens to it), they often go for a second one. So naturally, they have to pay the cost for it, though they show love and affection for their children. However, when they have to take care of the elderly in their home, the real challenge comes in demonstrating love, care, compassion, and sacrifice. Though they secretly wish (or even openly) that the elderly, when they become not very useful, would go away as early as possible to find release for both the elderly and themselves, it is when they have to take care of them that the true meaning of noble values like love and care become very clear and complete in life.
To show this alone, God allowed humans to experience old age as a testing ground for both family and society. Thus, we must add to the famous sloka: where women are worshipped [respected], there dwells God. But where elders are taken care of, there alone God dwells and blesses the family.

1. Who knows the pain
Of the soul?
Who can understand
The frustration of the heart?
2. How can anyone understand
The pain of elders
Once they reach
Old age in their life?
3. The soul becomes tired,
The body also grows weak,
Hearing power reduces,
And eyesight also diminishes.
4. Both taking food and water
Also reduce,
Even the bed will become
A bed of thorns.
5. Lamenting the
Present situation of immobility,
And always thinking about
The past busy life.
6. Longing for death,
Thinking when we will be gone,
This kind of life
Indeed is a hell.
7. Becoming a burden
For others,
Without anyone
To take care of them.
8. Though surrounded
By family and relatives,
Still loneliness
Tortures them.
9. If God ever
Came before me,
As She put this
Condition for humans,
10. I would definitely
Question Her,
As She created such
A cruel stage for humanity.
11. But not stand still,
Unable to give

In their life,

Like true love, service,
Sacrifice, and other

14. Would never get the opportunity
To attain maturity in life.
All would turn into
A mere mirage in life.”

நான்கேட்டு நீ செய்த
காலமும் போச்சு
உன் பேச்சை கேட்கும்
காலம் வந்தாச்சு 2
வேண்டுதல் என்ற
பெயரிலே நானும்
இதுவரை உன்னிடம்
எத்தனை கேட்டேன் 3
அத்தோடு பாடல்
எழுதுறேன் என்று
உன்னிடம் நானும்
எத்தனை சொன்னேன் 4
இடையினில் உன் குரல்
சற்றேனும் வந்தால்
நான் போட்ட இரைச்சலில்
கேட்ட மறந்தேன் 5
ஒரு சில நிமிடங்கள்
உன் வேதம் படித்தாலும்
நீ சொல்ல வருவதை
கேட்டிட மறுத்தேன் 6
அத்தோடு நானும்
அடிக்கடி வந்து
ஏன் பேச வில்லையென
சண்டையும் போட்டேன் 7
ஆயினும் இதற்கொரு
முடிவும் வந்தது
நீ சொல்லி கேட்க
நேரம் வந்தது 8
எப்படி நீயும்
பேசிடப் போகிறாய்
என்பதை லேசாகக்
கோடிட்டுக் காட்டினால் 9
அதற்கான ஆயத்தம்
முன்னமே செய்து
அடிமை நானும்
காத்துமேக் கிடப்பேன் 10
அதனை விடுத்து
மவுனம் காத்து
ஊமை போல் இருந்தால்
நான் என்ன செய்வேன் 11

நிறுத்திட முடியுமா
பாடல் எழுதாமல்
இருக்க இயலுமா 12
உன் குரல் கேட்க
மவுனம் காத்தாலும்
மனம் போடும் இரைச்சலை
நிறுத்த முடியுமா 13
இவற்றை எல்லாம்
மனதிலே கொண்டு
நீயாக வந்து
பேசுதல் நன்று 14
எப்படிச் செய்வாயோ
அது உன் பாடு

கேளாமல் செய்வதே
உனக்குள்ள மேன்மை 1
ஆயினும் நீயே
கேட்டு சொன்னதால்
அதைச் செய்ய வந்தேன்
என்பதே உண்மை 2
எதைக் கேட்பதென்று
முதலில் எண்ணி
என் தேவைகள் எதுவென
அதன்பின் கேட்டேன் 3
உடல் தேவை, மனத் தேவை
உயிர் தேவை தாண்டி
உள்ளது ஒரு தேவை
என்பதை உணர்ந்தேன் 4
ஆயினும் சொல்ல
வெட்கமும் கொண்டேன்
அதையே முன்பாக
நீயும் அறிந்ததால் 5
என்னதான் வெட்கம்
ஒருபுறம் தடுத்தாலும்
உள் மனம் சொல்வதை
கேட்கத் தான் ஆகணும் 6
ஆசையும் வெட்கம்
அறியாது என்பதால்
ஆசைப்படுவதை
கேட்கத்தான் வேண்டும் 7
நீயாகப் பார்த்து
செய்திடும் போது
நான் பெரும் நன்மைகள்
ஏராளம் ஆனது 8
நான் கேட்டு
நீயும் செய்திட
ஏதோ குறை ஒன்று
என் மனம் உணருது 9
ஆகவே நீ பார்த்து
செய்திடும் போது
உன் மேன்மை என் நன்மை
இரண்டும் நடக்குது 10
இருவர்க்கும் நல்லது
எதுவென்று பார்த்து
சமத்தாக நீயும்
எனக்கு செய்திடு 11

அடங்க மறுத்து
பிடிவாதம் பிடிக்குது 2

என் பேச்சு, பிறர் பேச்சு
இரண்டும் வேண்டாம்
நீ பேச நிச்சயம்
கேட்டிடும் என்று 5
நயமாக, பதமாக
உனைப்பற்றி கூறி

எகத்தாளச் சிரிப்புடன்

அதன் குணம் எதுவென
அதன்பின் அதைப் பற்றி
நான் என்ன சொல்ல 11
புரியாத சிறு பிள்ளை
நானென்று உணர்ந்து
புரிந்தே செய்திடும்
மனதினை அறிந்து 12
எவரிடம் சொல்லியும்
பயனில்லை என்று
ஏதும் பேசாமல்
வாய்மூடிக் கொண்டேன் 13
ஆயினும் எதற்கும்
இருக்கட்டும் என்று
உன்னிடம் இதை மட்டும்
சொல்லியும் வைத்தேன் 14
முடிந்தால் மனதை
மாற்றப் பாரு
முடியாது போனால்
வாய்மூடிக் கொள்ளு 15

BT Song 1414: பொதுவான தீர்வு
எத்தனை விளக்கங்கள்
நீயும் தந்தாலும்
எனக்கு அவையாவும்
தேவையே இல்லை 1
என் எதிர்பார்ப்பு
ஒன்றே ஒன்றுதான்
அதை மட்டும் நீயும்
ஏற்பதும் இல்லை 2
உன் எதிர்பார்ப்பில்
உள்ள நியாயத்தை
ஏற்று நானும்
வாழ்ந்திடும் போது 3
என் எதிர்பார்ப்பில்
உள்ள நியாயத்தை
நீயும் மறுக்கக்
காரணம் யாது 4
அதற்காக எத்தனை
விளக்கங்கள் தருகிறாய்
அடுக்கடுக்காகப் பல
உவமைகள் சொல்கிறாய் 5
அதைவிட எனக்கு
பேசத் தெரியாதா
ஆயிரம் விளக்கங்கள்
தந்திட முடியாதா 6
பாட்டிலே உவமைகள்
வைத்து எழுதி
பாடிக் காட்ட
எனக்கு இயலாதா 7
எட்டடி தாயும்
பாய்ந்திடும் மானால்
ஈரெட்டு பாய
குட்டிக்கும் தெரியும் 8
இந்த உவமை
ஒன்றும் போதும்
நான் சொல்ல வருவது
உனக்கு புரியும் 9
சரி விடு இதுவென்ன
வழக்காடு மன்றமா
எவரேனும் கேட்டு
தீர்ப்பு சொல்ல 10
இந்த நம் வாதம்
புதிதான ஒன்றா
இதற்கு என்றும்
முடிவுமே இல்லை 11
சுற்றி வளைத்து
பேசாமல் நாமும்
நேரடியாகவே
விஷயத்தைச் சொல்லி 12
இருவர்க்கும் பொதுவான
முடிவுக்கு வரணும்
இதற்காக பதிலை
நீ தான் தரணும் 13

BT Song 1415: முழுமை அடையும்
உயிர்பெறும் வேதனை
எவருக்குத் தெரியும்
உளம்கொண்ட தவிப்பு
எவருக்குப் புரியும் 1
முதுமை என்கிற
நிலைக்குச் செல்வோர்
படுகின்ற துயரம்
எப்படிப் புரியும் 2
உயிரும் சோர்ந்து
உடலும் தளர்ந்து
பார்வை குறைந்து
செவித்திறன் இழக்க 3
உணவும் நீரும்
குறைந்து போக
படுக்கைக்கூட
முள்ளாய் மாறும் 4
ஓடித் திரிந்த
நாட்களை எண்ணி
வீழ்ந்து கிடக்கும்
நிலைக்குப் புலம்பி 5
என்று போவோம்
என்று ஏங்கும்
இந்த வாழ்க்கை
நரகம் ஆகும் 6
பாரம் வீணாய்
பிறருக்கு மாறி
பார்த்துக் கொள்ள
ஆட்கள் இன்றி 7
சுற்றம் உற்றம்
சூழ இருந்தும்
தனிமை மட்டும்
வாட்டி வதைக்கும் 8
இந்த நிலையை
வைத்துப் படைத்த
அந்த இறைவன்
நேரில் வந்தால் 9
இரக்கம் இன்றி
இந்தச் செயலை
வைத்த அவனை
கேள்வியும் கேட்பேன் 10
தக்க பதில் தர
வகையும் இன்றி
திகைத்து அவனும்
நின்று விடாமால் 11
“முதுமை நிலையை
அடைந்து விடாமல்
முன்பே மாந்தர்
சென்று விட்டால் 12
உண்மை அன்பு
சேவை தியாகம்
போன்ற உயர்ந்த
பண்புகள் எல்லாம் 13
முழுமை அடையும்
வாய்ப்பும் இன்றி
கானல் நீராய்
மாறியே போகும்” 14
என்று அவனும்
எடுத்துக் கூறி
உண்மை தன்னை
புரிய வைத்தான் 15
