We Must Swim

 We must swim in new currents.

Nous devons nager dans de nouveaux courants.

Debemos nadar en nuevas corrientes.

Devemos nadar em novas correntes.

While Traveling on the Royal Road / शाही सड़क पर यात्रा करते समय

 While traveling on the royal road

of the seven cities,

I met Krishna and his many gopis.

Before we arrived at Sahasrar,

one by one,

they became one.

Nagna says,

One by one,

they became bliss.

शाही सड़क पर यात्रा करते समय

सात शहरों में,

मैं कृष्ण और उनकी कई गोपियों से मिला।

इससे पहले कि हम सहस्रार पहुंचते,

एक एक करके,

वे एक हो गए।

नग्न कहते हैं,

एक एक करके,

वे आनंद बन गया।

Triptych III - Early Morning Light

 Early morning light

has chased away

the night

and built a path

into the day.

Triptych II - He Reads the Trees

 He reads the trees

as you would read

a book,

but what he sees

at second look

he may not tell.

Still he knows

that in the end,

all is well.

Triptych I - Poet in the Light of Morning Sun

 Poet in the light of morning sun,

his battles have been lost and won,

and now he spends his days

counting the ways of his gratitude

in hero lays

or ragged verse,

or what is worse,

perhaps,

in silence.

He Sees

 He sees by the calm light of Ajñá

all things in their inner forms.

The haloed world regains its luster

and essences replace all norms.
