Tomári priitite gaŕá
Tomári giitite bhará
Se smrti ájo amalin
Marama udvela kará
Se hási kare je unman
Se báṋshi kare sammohan
Se ráge bhare anuráge
Se d́áke hai ápanahárá
Se priiti dey mane dolá
Se giiti kare ápana bholá
Se dyuti cetaná jágiye
(Formed out of Your love
And filled with Your song…
Even now that thought is unflawed,
Stirring me to the core.
That smile so preoccupies,
And that flute does mesmerize
With its music love-suffused…
When it calls, consumed am I.
That love gives the mind a swing;
That song makes one self-forgetting.
That splendor, having roused consciousness,
Creates a world full of light beams. )
Here’s a breakdown of what the poet wants to express:
Origin in Divine Love: The poet suggests that all existence is rooted in the love of the divine. This love is not just an abstract concept but a tangible force that shapes and sustains life itself. It’s an acknowledgement of the divine presence in every aspect of existence.
Immersion in Divine Presence: The poet describes the overwhelming influence of the divine presence through imagery of a captivating smile and enchanting music. These symbols evoke a sense of being wholly consumed and entranced by the divine, highlighting the intensity of the spiritual experience.
Transformation Through Love and Music: The poet explores how divine love and music have the power to transform consciousness. Love leads to a swing of emotions, while music induces a state of self-forgetfulness, where the boundaries of the self dissolve in the presence of the divine. This transformation is depicted as a profound awakening, filling the inner world with radiant light and splendor.
Overall, the poet wants to convey the ineffable beauty and depth of the spiritual journey, emphasizing the profound impact of divine love and music on the soul. These verses invite readers to contemplate their own connection to the divine and the transformative potential inherent in spiritual experiences.
