Poems of Brahmanand
the miracle
i saw a miracle, my friends
what an incredible miracle i saw
there is a well of nectar
hidden in the sky
which is always filled with joy
a lame man climbed up without a ladder
and drank till he was quenched
without anybody playing
bells, conchs and drums play night and day
a deaf man heard them
and became so intoxicated
he forgot about his body
without a foundation
there is a palace standing
glowing from inside
a blind man saw everything
and described it in detail
a living man died
and came back alive
without food he is strong and healthy
only a rare person
can understand my vision
your creation
beloved
what you have created
fills me with such wonder
i cannot even begin
to fathom your mind
from a drop
you created this body
and to it you gave
the beauty of male and female
you gave humans their hands and legs
and a capable body and mind
and to each one
you gave the gift of breath
within you hid
a heart that can feel
and the most beautiful feeling
that can be felt
you filled the forests
with flowers and trees
and you gave the ocean
its strength
you created the sun and moon
for light both night and day
you make the stars twinkle
and send breezes everywhere
even sages and poets
cannot describe your greatness
Master
amazing and endless is the beauty
you taught me to see
when you opened my eyes
prepare yourself
sweet friend
listen to me
prepare yourself
to meet your beloved
we are in this world
for a short time only
then we have to leave
don't create attachments
wash away the dirt of ego
groom yourself with care
weed your garden daily
fine-tune yourself
you have been blessed
with great beauty
offer it to your beloved humbly
don't get caught in vanity
without your beloved
you will never be happy
don't waste this life
separated
Brahmanand says
enjoy that unique union
