I am a drop in a murmuring stream
flowing in a verdant and scented vale
the stream then flowing into the Holy Ganges
that is the source of the Indus civilization and culture
the ancient river then flowing into the Bay of Bengal and
mingling there with the mighty Indian Ocean that is
kissed by Phoebus, winds, moons and the distant stars;
A mere drop --- i
but part of the land, sea and sky
originating in nature and dissolving in it
tiny, yet mighty; fragile, yet strong
flowing always, yet contained;
Let me be part of the whole universe
O, kindly gods,
and never be atomized in this world
because, i becomes I, only
when it finally merges with the universe.
