Is
the time not yet come for You to come back?
Are
there still inconceivable and incomprehensible wonders for you to
accomplish
before
You decide to come back?
Should
I wait and wear out my heart in eternal longing?
If
this is Thy delight then let me wait joyfully
keeping
my trust in You, only You!
Time
is endless in Your hands. You know how to WAIT!
Ages
bloom and fade like flowers;
Your
centuries follow each other,
perfecting
a small wild flower into a fragrant rose flower.
But,
we have no time to lose;
And
having no time we must scramble for our chances.
We
are too poor to be late;
we
just can no more afford to wait and be late!
But,
my heart is glad within
and
the air is filling with Your perfume of promise.
And
I feel in the air a faint smell of Your sweet presence.
I
know not from what distant time,
You
are ever coming nearer and nearer to meet me.
Your
sun and stars can never keep You hidden from me.
Have
you not heard His Silent steps hovering around?
He
comes, He comes, He ever comes!!
In
sorrow after sorrow of His apparent separation,
it
is His steps that press upon my heart and
it
is the golden touch of His lovely lotus feet
that
makes my heart jump with joy to sky!
“Please-
- - - - swami - - - - -please - - - -!”
And
one-day when the boys were sitting in darshan-line, swami chose to
cut-across them,turning away his face divine!
The
boys were shocked! They shouted, “please ,swami please !
But
swami was un-moved !
he
only whispered, “wait , wait, wait !!
First
learn to please sai, then pray,
please,
Swami please !!
first
give, next take !
I
have come to give, are you ready to take?”
The
boys who were already confused,
their
confusion was only more confounded ;
When
the daily-dose of motherly love was refused,
the
calves of dwapar yuga were naturally
dumb-founded!!
