WHEN I GO from hence let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.
I have tasted of the hidden honey of this lotus that expands on the ocean of light, and thus am I blessed-let this be my parting word.
In this playhouse of infinite forms I have had my play and here have I caught sight of him that is formless.
My whole body and my limbs have thrilled with his touch who is beyond touch; and if the end comes here, let it come-let this be my parting word.

মহীয়সী মহিমার আগ্নেয় কুসুম
সূর্য, ধায় লভিবারে বিশ্রামের ঘুম।
ভাঙা এক ভিত্তি-'পরে ফুল শুভ্রবাস,
চারি দিকে শুভ্রদল করিয়া বিকাশ
মাথা তুলে চেয়ে দেখে সুনীল বিমানে
অমর আলোকময় তপনের পানে,
ছোটো মাথা দুলাইয়া কহে ফুল গাছে--
"লাবণ্য-কিরণ ছটা আমারো তো আছে।"

I.83. canda jhalkai yahi ghat mahin
THE MOON shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it:
The moon is within me, and so is the sun.
The unstruck drum of Eternity is sounded within me; but my deaf ears cannot hear it.
So long as man clamours for the I and the Mine, his works are as naught:
When all love of the I and the Mine is dead, then the work of the Lord is done.
For work has no other aim than the getting of knowledge:
When that comes, then work is put away.
The flower blooms for the fruit: when the fruit comes, the flower withers.
The musk is in the deer, but it seeks it not within itself: it wanders in quest of grass.
