Baba! Baba! Baba! Poem by Vadakkumpurath Ramesan

Baba! Baba! Baba!



Had I but died an hour
Before this chance,
I brood over the utter futility
Of the life I am awarded
To loiter and to wade through
The flood of tearful days.
When the reverberations from the heavens
Spells to my senses
That what is destined to happen
Will happen!
And what will be will be!
And what is done is done!
And what is done cannot be undone!
All flows from the Karma
Of my previous birth
Tainted with sins
That showered curses
From the lips of the suffering lot
I repent in this birth
And the solace came from 'Baba'
Whose merciful eyes tamed me
Whose soothing hand pacified me
Whose sweet words filled me with joy
Whose sermons elated me
To the heights of heavens
That even kept me losing
The earthly skin touch!
I begged before His lotus feet
To pour the magnanimity,
To shover the benevolence,
To keep me close to His heart
And purify me from not
Entering the inferno,
The purgatory,
And to cleanse my soul
In the fire of the third eye
Of His Lord 'Baba'
The Omnipotent,
The Omnipresence,
The Omniscience,
And whose mind imbibe,
In everything in this scattered,
Dead and living universe,
Leading me from the known,
To the unknown,
From the familiar to the unfamiliar,
With a purified heart of a dove,
Proved its monogamy,
With the fidelity of a dog,
To his master,
With the sharpness of a snake,
With the relentless toil,
Of ants,
With the determined will,
Of a spider,
And stop me dilly-dallying,
And firm me at His lotus feet!
So help me Sai,
The truth,
The Siva,
The eternal Beauty!
Ye spelled and preached:
That serve man
To serve 'Madhava',
'Eth Bhavam Thath Bhavati',
Tell the truth,
Tell the pleasant,
Tell not the unpleasant!
When I wrote you 'Baba'
You spoke to me
When I lost the 'sthoola' body
And relegated to the 'Aura',
In the state of dream,
I chanted the hymns
Baba! Baba! Baba!
