Bhakti Song

Guruji

I look forward to you going to the Middle East:

Because

Wherever I look, there you are

No matter where you are, there you are

If I look at the leaves swirling, there you are

If I look at the curious eighteen-year-old student, there you are

If I look at the crinkled, inked-up manuscript, there you are

If I look at the sun partially hidden by the clouds, there you are

If I look at my right hand, there you are

Go in peace to the Middle East

(How else could you go?)

I’ll be here

With you
