Anonymous Love Letter

From the beginning, I have tried my best
My very best to tell you that we are both
One and the same, and that you are in me
And I within you and even if the distance
Between us are thousands of miles
Nothing can really keep us apart.

But now as ever, you refuse to accept me
As a part of your being or existence
You refuse to face the truth and keep seeking
In the arms of a false illusionary world
Of make-belief, only to drown in rivers of grief!
Why oh, why do you turn your back on me?

Pretending that I do not even exist at all?
Can you really go on denying me like this?
To yourself and others my dear?
Why do you seek to turn away from me?
How far and how long can you keep on running?
Can't you see that I'll be with you forever?

Wherever you go you'll come back to me!
For my love is neither selfish nor greedy.
It’s the selfless absolute of all that you seek.
Unlike the mirage or the rainbow
That manifests only to cheat for a while
Untainted, unfalsified purity am I.

Give up this search for false love and rush into my arms.
Shed all your fears, sorrows and apprehensions
Embrace me and hold tight to me for everlasting bliss
Close your eyes and relax in the sanctuary of my love
Let go off the ropes that bind you to this world of deceit
Surrender your self in me and rediscover your true self.

Look deep within you, you'll find me there - the one true love.
Can't you see me, recognize me and acknowledge me, dear?
Close your eyes and listen to your heartbeat dearest
And to the music of your agonized soul sweet love.
Or return to the Upanishads and hear the wise sage say...

Tat Va Masi Shwethaketu!
(SHWETHAKETU, YOU ARE THAT! YOU ARE BRAHMAM -THE GOD THAT YOU SEEK!)
