Offering Vyasa Puja 2024 Anandamayi Dasi, Poland


From the days of my life...

I have chosen those that give peace of mind

Days that rise above all the mediocrity of a flat life

Times, that give/spread your sublime association

Why is it so difficult to attain this state?

So difficult to break through the expectations wall

I wander somewhere dragged by the immensity of hope

Though they do not give long awaited reality, they are...

I would so much like to give you the best of me
To make the best of everything, create
Offered opportunities, quickly taken away
A confusing process does not bode well
The approved goal seems unattainable
Will time break me like a gale breaks a tree?
So much joy - suffering already behind
Do I consist only of this happy sadness?

My soul tears into the light that thou art
My rivals still successfully drag me away
Will our roles forever deprive me of lack?
Shall I hope for soul happiness in this life?
I pour out endless streams of sorrow before thee
I am not a good companion in a grief
Solitary confinement is the place, conscience
The straitjacket is the only defense

I am coming with hopes before thy feet
I humble myself, crawling into your grace
Torrents of tears continually flood my world
Where is the end of wandering miserable journey?
Wail have already gathered in heart by turns
Taken away the riches of my being
Know the consequences of these thefts
The nobility of intentions transformed into vanity

The truth is coming out of my heart constantly
I want to break this burden, though I still cannot
Thy inspiration is comforting, though still scarce
In the flooded world of my life, I dwell
Yet, I am to be strong in the strength of your guidance
The time changes everything, though not always
What do I hope for? What do I expect?
Instead each step becomes more and more heavy

I stop looking for feelings in my heart
Too shallow energies tug at my soul
Does this world only destroy, only take away?
Trying to serve you, I do what I can
I still see pure souls being trampled on here
So, I admire your calmness and composure
I am eager to catch up with your great qualities
Your lotus feet - only hope, only treasure

I Pray for support for you... and for me
Fervent and Deep Desire Prayer
Nothing good in the depths of my soul anymore
Here only sacrifice, I sacrifice my soul
Following you, dedicated to action
Consecrated I immerse myself in your guidance
I can't give more, I don't have more
Accept my life, accept my soul...

I want to praise thee in the rapture of my soul
I want to please you in the vastness of devotion
Accept my sacrifices, but not my penance
My gifts abound in the riches of spirituality
I stretch forth my hands full of divine love
I wrap my soul in the features of thy greatness
I will remain in this state of your immersion
All you are today and all you will remain....
