Song of the Unenlightened Pilgrim (For Adi Da My Teacher, My World, My Universe Of Light)

I came to you as a leaf is carried on a stream. I did not know you. Only did I know I was being carried. I tumbled over the stones you put in my way. I understand they were to smooth my path. I seemed to float on the few occasions you let me.Yes I was cold but the sun was always around the corner. I travelled for many days and nights. You watched over me I know that now. I was helpless with longing for you yet you remained invisible.
At night I rested on the bank. The days were long and your singing was all I had to lighten my load. I prayed to you and I cannot be certain you did not hear me.
It is true that the stream is only a dream in my mind. I am clear that the way I think is not the way things are. For too long my thinking was fused with reality.
Lord You are my Source. I am a leaf from your tree. Carry me back to the stream so I can ride with you again. Carry me back to the water where I am always drowned.
I am in love with you it is true. You are the universe of love. I am fallen at your feet. I am a leaf from your book. Please do not forsake me. You did not forsake me. You travelled me to Your Heart.
You drowned me in the pool of Bliss in which you float. I am in love with you. I am dead. You died me. I am always surrendered at your feet.
The night is come. Your Word is nigh. I am a leaf. You are the tree. Your branches touch me. Because of your sweet touch I am always already Free.
Thank you for dissolving me in Your Light. I am the Light. There is Only Light.
Here I Am
Nothing is happening
But This eternal moment of Here
