બ્રહ્માંડો સર્જતો, સજાવતો ...

બ્રહ્માંડો સર્જતો, સજાવતો પ્રભુ તવ પ્રેમ 

અખંડ અસ્ખલિત વહેતો વહાવતો પ્રેમ...

આ સમગ્ર સમેટતો વિસ્તારતો તવ પ્રેમ

સર્વ સંસાધનો મહીં બિરાજતો પ્રેમ...

સજીવ નિર્જીવ સમસ્ત જીવાડતો તવ પ્રેમ

અવિરત અગણિત માધ્યમરૂપ પ્રેમ...

સર્વાંગ આચ્છાદિત અતુલિત અમૂલ્ય પ્રેમ

સૃષ્ટિ સમષ્ટિ તાત્પર્યે તાંતણે પ્રેમ...

અનેકો રંગે રાગ પ્રકારે અદ્વિતીય તવ પ્રેમ

માનવહ્રદયે ધબકે આવિષ્કારી પ્રેમ...

અદ્ભૂત અદ્રશ્ય આત્મન ને અદ્ભૂત તવ પ્રેમ

અસ્તિત્વનો અનન્ય અંગસમ પ્રેમ...

પ્રભુ, તવ સર્જનનો આધાર અંગીકાર પ્રેમ

પ્રભુ તું જ પ્રેમ ને દિવ્ય દિસતો પણ પ્રેમ...

જય હો!

And all is known and all is clasped by Love
Who would turn back to ignorance and pain?
...
My love eternal sits throned on God's calm;
For Love must soar beyond the very heavens
And find its secret sense ineffable;
It must change its human ways to ways divine,
Yet keep its sovereignty of earthly bliss.
O Death, not for my heart's sweet poignancy
Nor for my happy body's bliss alone
I have claimed from thee the living Satyavan,
But for his work and mine, our sacred charge.
Our lives are God's messengers beneath the stars;
To dwell under death's shadow they have come
Tempting God's light to earth for the ignorant race,
His love to fill the hollow in men's hearts,
His bliss to heal the unhappiness of the world.
For I, the woman, am the force of God,
He the Eternal's delegate soul in man.
My will is greater than thy law, O Death;
My love is stronger than the bonds of Fate:
Our love is the heavenly seal of the Supreme.
I guard that seal against thy rending hands.
Love must not cease to live upon the earth;
For Love is the bright link twixt earth and heaven,
Love is the far Transcendent's angel here;
Love is man's lien on the Absolute."

* BOOK X: The Book of the Double Twilight 633

Divine Love ... is again not something ethereal, cold and far, but a love absolutely intense, intimate and full of unity, closeness and rapture using all the nature for its expression.

For there is, concealed behind individual love, obscured by its ignorant human figure, a mystery which the mind cannot seize, the mystery of the body of the Divine, the secret of a mystic form of the Infinite which we can approach only through the ecstasy of the heart and the passion of the pure and sublimated sense, and its attraction which is the call of the divine Flute-player, the mastering compulsion of the All-Beautiful, can only be seized and seize us through an occult love and yearning which in the end makes one the Form and the Formless, and identifies Spirit and Matter. It is that which the spirit in Love is seeking here in the darkness of the Ignorance and it is that which it finds when individual human love is changed into the love of the Immanent Divine incarnate in the material universe. SA

For me sadhana consists in loving the Divine more and more integrally, more and more absolutely, with a love so total that it leads to identification.

There is only one true love, the love from the Divine, which, in human beings, turns into love for the Divine. TM
