On Seeing Them words fail


On seeing Them words
 fail.
At once close
and at once far.
Unfathomable
mystery
No vision
No wisdom
of the mighty seers
who See.
Will I be saved?
Alas, how selfish is this I
who wants alone to be saved
and yet cries of loneliness









I have seen Him in His divine form,
Him with the matted locks,
Him with the jewelled crown,
Him with the gleaming teeth,
Him with the smiling face,
Him who illumines the fourteen worlds with
the light of His eyes.
I have Him and the thirst of my eyes is
quenched.
I have seen the great Lord whom the men
among men serve but as wives.
I have seen the Supreme Guru Chenna Mallikarjuna
sporting with the Primeval Sakti,
And saved am I.
