DEDICATION

The Supreme from Itself did separate
Itself in full that “It” may experience;
Yet remaining full and ever complete –
The Vedas so reveal Its Omniscience.

At times in “Its” infinite compassion
The Self descends resplendently glorious
Verily love’s personification –
Effulgent, pristinely pure most virtuous.

Rare indeed is such a descent divine
The Supreme’s proximity rarer still.
And by Divine Will this fortune’s now mine.
Nothing more nor less seek ever I will

Verily a spark of that Divine I,
Nay, even the self-same Supreme Essence;
Having known the Lord in the form of Sai
Suffices me the bliss of His Presence.

Well-crafted by him, I am a puppet,
With skilful finesse manipulated.
In blissful repose I do remain yet
All actions are by Him stipulated.

He designed me, with vision endowing;
I see now only Bhagwan Sathya Sai;
And Space, the same Holy Name whispering
Gently in my ears, so like a soft sigh.

Chants my tongue sweet Sai’s name, needs no prompting –
This uncloying nectar, ever so sweet.
Divine fragrance very air infusing;
For my nostrils a veritable treats.

All actions do blissfully transport me
To His Divine Presence most beatific
Nothing is mine, even temporarily
No thought, no body or soul intrinsic.

Glorious moment I await eagerly
When unto Him Sathya Sai will take me;
In all His compassion so lovingly;
In blissful consciousness ever I shall be.
