Song 73

This poem I wrote at Mahari.  Whenever I live among people, my mind becomes tired and immediately I want to run away from everything.  At the same time I experience that I cannot become a ‘Recluse’ like Emily Dickinson, because I need human relationships to lead a sober life.  When I meditated on this, I wrote this. 31-8-96, 7-15 a.m.  But this ‘dvand’ (repulsion and attraction) is part of human nature I think. When others take us for granted, then we want to avoid them, but we realize that without human relationships we cannot live on this earth.  So striking a balance is the best remedy to overcome such ‘dvand’.

73 இறை அறிவு

உறவின் மத்தியில்

இறைவனைக் காண்போம்

உலக வாழ்வினிலே

உள்ளம் நிறைந்த

நேயத்தை அருள்வோம்

பிறரின் வாழ்வினிலே 

இதுவே அன்றி

‘இறை-அறிவு’

வேறே ஏதுமில்லை 

இதை உணராமலே

போதிக் கின்றார்

பல வழிகளையே

துறந்தவன் எவனும்

உலகில் இல்லை

துணிந்தே கூறிடுவேன் 

துறந்திட வேண்டாம்

மனித உறவை

அறிந்தே கூறிடுவேன்

இறைவனும் இவ்

உலகினில் வந்தது

இதற்காகத்தானே

அவனைத் தொடர்ந்து

நாமும் இங்கு

அதன்படி செய்வோமே

Mahari, Rewa, M. P. 31-8-1996, 7.15 am.

73 Knowledge of God

Let us see God

Among human relationship

In this life on earth

Let us show

True love

In others life

Without this

There is no

True knowledge

About God

Not realizing this

They teach

Many ways for us to follow

I will say with

Firm conviction that

There is none

Who really renounced the world?

I also tell this

With clear understanding that

One should not

Give up human relationship

God also came

To this world

Only to demonstrate this

Following him

Let us do the

Same on this earth

Mahari, Rewa, M. P. 31-8-1996, 7.15 am.
