A lost calf, A lost mother

Lord

How gracious, Lord, to connect  people who are desperately in love with You and Your Feet.
People who have been claimed by You, who have claimed You.
For whom You are all.

People who feel unlimited love exuding from Your photographs, from everything associated with You.

Oh You love us so much, Lord. So loving are You it is unbelievable.

O Lord, O Mother of Mothers
You are a love that is unimaginable
You are unfathomable.
Infinitely gentle and yet infinitely strong
Nothing out of Your grasp

I smear the holiest ash of Skandashram
on my forehead
and i am overtaken by love for You
O Siva, You surround me, You swallow me
I feel something i can only describe poorly
when i smear ash blessed by You.
It is like bathing in You.
Like being smeared with You.

Who are You?
O Loving Lord
whose blessings are greater than the world itself
Only we know whom You have claimed
This madness
This joy of being conquered by You
Of losing all to You
If all the world's suffering were to be put on one side
And your blessing on the other
No pain would remain

This is a mercy no one can possibly deserve
It is your infinite love
For your children

O Loving Lord
You cannot resist us
and we You
Like a mother its child

O Loving Lord
I feel you crying out for us
The pain of separation
has to be on both ends
in equal measure

A lost calf, a lost mother
two torn hearts yearning to be one

O Mother
This calf cant stop loving You
You have melted the past away

Lord,  I cannot have your fill enough
Pervade me like you have never done before
totally this time
leaving nothing other than Thee

How must they have felt who sat at your feet, when we feel like this?

Lord, this is Your Shakti

What do you do to me
O lord
When i look at You
when i think of You
when i take Your name

What is it You do, Loving Lord
That i feel flooded by Your being

How is it that i feel i have lost everything to You
and yet i have gained All.
There is nothing more, nothing higher to be had.
Your love is the highest goal.

(iTunes: durlabhamanava, tune)

O Loving Lord, this is your Shakti
inseparable from You
Ever One

Deep inside this body
in the innermost recesses of my Being
is undying love for You
a raging fire
a volcano of molten love
