Journey and coming to Ayodhya

Glory to the Lord, travel continuous

Over a thousand years across different lands

Practising silence, meditation strong

Naturally is the unseen coming to be seen

In the outskirts of the city of Purimtal

Like a tilak on the forehead of Ayodhya

Was the garden of Shakatmukh

Glorious and vibrant in the east

Under the banyan tree, the base attractive

Its many branches very beautiful

Seeing the Lord sit in its shade

Wrote nature an epigraph new

Man was inseparable from the tree

Between them affection grew

Man even attained salvation because of the tree

The tree too extended a helping hand

Man loves trees

Trees are the basis of his life

Becoming the stimulus for enlightenment

Gentle leshya,4 gentle conscious mind

City dwelling created a distance from the tree

Established a difference between man and nature

Near the man-made house of comfort

The tree stands as the source of faith

Under the banyan tree the Lord lived

The never-dying light of knowledge

For three days he fasted

And rested in his soul’s abode

The new experience of mindfulness5

How spectacular the inner being!

Rejecting the suggestions of the senses

A new world came to view

Where matter is purely for knowing

Behind the veil lies the reason

Nothing is without a cause

The soul is the knower and the soul is knowledge

There the ego protests wildly

And pleads with the intellect

Why do you awaken today

the sleeping lion, O Adhiraj!

If total bliss is awakened

You will be left without a ripple

Life will lose its allure

The ego will become a burden

You speak the truth, son of man

You have the secret for understanding truth

Friend, not within my control

is to awaken knowledge pure

My territory has been transgressed

My inner eye has been opened

Wisdom has its own lands

Barred is the entry of the ego there

Go seek shelter elsewhere

Blessed will you be and independent

The outside world is everyone’s base

The doors to which always open are
