Relentless Pursuit

An ‘email’, not what the world is familiar with,  but an ‘etheric mail’ written with the pen of faith, and ink of never-ceasing hope, carrying a jillion emotions around the globe and beyond addressed to The Master Beloved…beseeching Him, …So when will You…? …We need You…We await You…? …pledging to continue the relentless pursuit…a poetic beauty from the pen of Sri Jullie Chaudhuri.

 

As my soul voyages lifetimes through…
…i can with in depth clarity construe -
All relationships begin and end in You…
With You…
…forever You…

..Oft times You are my Father…
…my everlastingly steadfast anchor,
Most times You are my Mother…
…i place my life …
…upon Your Lotus Feet…
…for You, Beloved One, are its author…

The sole Being that occupies my sacred altar…
As my Guru…my Master…
…You guide each and every endeavour…
Sometimes You become my friend…
…the exclusive One Who does…
…all my attention capture…
Sometimes You are an Ocean…
…that i want to swim in…
…such tranquility…upon me…
…do the waters of Your grace confer…
My feelings for You…
…i will not allow anything in the world to alter…

Sometimes You are a gust of Wind…
…that dotingly caresses…
…endorsing a tender intimation…
…of Your Presence to me…
Sometimes You are a Sound…
…that whispers soothingly…

Sometimes a Fire that keeps…
…all that’s callous and cold away…
…You bring warmth oh! so reassuringly…
Sometimes You are that firm Earth…
…that grounds, nurtures…
…And nourishes me…
Yet, at all times You remain the Ether…
…that forever holds me…

My Precious One…
Beloved Bhagawan…
During this Advent…
You have chosen the name -
Sathya Sai…
Across the celestial realms…
…the Universe through…
Every atom…Your Omnipresence does sanctify…
Today,
This very minute…for You…
…i am composing…
…a mail…
…replete with my adoration…
…crossing horizons…

An authentic ‘Airmail’…
Across the ether…
An Email…
An Etheric Mail…
This communication gently, earnestly sets sail…
…gathering momentum…
Overcoming many a storm and gale…
…collecting affection…
…from enchanted hearts over the globe…
…that hold treasured memories of You…
…which could generations regale…
A wondrous Cosmic Trail… 

Written with the pen of faith…
…and the ink of hope…
…towards You…my sentiments do elope…

This mail to You…i do dedicate…
…through hallowed spheres as it does circulate…
..a jillion emotions it does accumulate, ferry and freight…
Hence,
…a reply from You the entire creation does await…
…since that fervent ardor for You can never abate…
As such…
…this is what this ‘Etheric Mail’…
…this ‘email’…does state and narrate…

How can we not yearn for That Presence…?
What can we make of this silence…?
How can any devoted soul hold back a desire -
…to hear That endearing voice…
…receive That enchanting smile…
…view That graceful gait…
…experience That incredibly one of a kind interaction…?
When discord, violence and disharmony…
…does damage, destroy and denigrate…
the world today
…how can there not be a craving for That Sublime Presence…
…to astound all and herald in a change…
…a change of fate…?

This is a relentless pursuit…
…of souls that yearn intensely…
…For You…the Supreme Absolute…
This is a relentless pursuit…
…relentlessly all hearts do resolve…
…thus so to pursue -
Beloved You…

As it journeys on through sacred realms…
…this ‘email’ lovingly gathers quite a retinue…
…every being asks of You…
…For You -

To bestow this impassioned request -
Grant creation…
…so too…every devoted heart…
…it’s heartfelt due…
Nothing else matters…
…You know this is true…
So when will You…?
We need You…
We await You…?
Wholeheartedly we do…
Until then…
…this resolute, relentless Pursuit will continue…
Oh! Cherished Soul…solely for You…
