 Hi, Krishna!

Hi, Krishna!

What’re you doing here

Under this tree on my street?

And where is Radha, your beloved beauty?And all those Gopis

Whom you had let naed in the pool

As you stole their ghanghras and "holis?

 Ah, today I am not in a mood for all that 

Today I am here in your street 

 Beneath this tree with my flute…

Today I want to tell you something…

#h, really? How good o you to thin o me!

Today I come to tell you who you are

You are me – none else – me and me alone.

 For days I had been watching you

Going on morning strolls, dee in thought.

 I !new you were thin!ing of me

 And of the music of my flute.

"o I came to tell you I am only you

 And you are always in me.

$ome, "ome, Krishna,

%ou are only taing me round and round

&n "ir"les, baling me with your enigmati" words'

 (ow, tell me seriously about your true sel)

Are you only what you loo,

As you stand here under this tree on my street,

Wearing that pea"o"*eather’d hair*band

And playing that divine tune on your lute?

 Indeed, this is how you see me.

This is how I aear in the mirror of your heart.

 But let me ma!e !nown to you my di#ine manifestation.

 I am the Atman that dwells in the heart of e#ery mortal creature.

 I am the beginning, the life$san and the end of all.

 I am the beginning, the middle and the end in creation.

 I am the Time without end% my face is e#erywhere.

 I am triumh and erse#erance% I am the urity of the good.

 I am the !nowledge of the !nower.

 I am the di#ine seed of all li#es.

 &othing animate or inanimate e'ists without me.

 Indeed, my di#ine manifestations are limitless….
