Supreme Divine Voice Poem by Harekrishna Meher

Entire courtyard of the Creator
is permeated with Music.
Every part of Nature is endowed
with regular musical concord, ‘tā la’ and ‘laya’.

The crying in the mouth of a newly-born baby,
the palpitations of hearts
and the wavering eyes with eyelashes,
all these continue from the very birth
till the end of life in the world.
Musical tune abides in every being.

The wavering respiration regularly
expressing ‘so aham’ (I am that Brahman) ,
the gaiety of free laughter
and the natural utterance
associated with every creature,
all these verily present a musical rhythm.

The brook indeed flows
with murmuring sound.
The breeze plays flute with a sweet tone.
The pace of gestures in the waves
of unstable ocean is mellifluous
with regular concord.

The creeper bearing soft foliage and flowers
appears as a sweet damsel
dancing in a delicate manner.
Her jingling bangles verily display
the gesticulation of distinct emotions and art.
Every aspect of Nature is musically rhythmic.

Among the clusters of clouds
roaring of collision is found.
The water-drops fall with ‘ţ ap’ ‘ţ ap’ sound.
Planets move in their orbits
as destined to them.
All are having musical bits.

The warbling of insects
forms the manner of musical anklet.
The gay black-bee rejoices in humming.
All these do indicate love
filled with emotions and graceful lilt.
All bear the charm of musical tune.

Cuckoos with other birds
sweetly present their cooings.
Elephants and other animals
auspiciously express their voices.
Sa, re, ga, ma, pa, dha, ni – these seven ‘svaras’
with their unique brilliance
pervade the whole universe.

The eternal proclamation is
Brahma-Nā da, the Supreme Divine Voice,
perpetually reigns everywhere.
Every aspect of Nature,
every being and every thing
is indeed permeated with Music
in the creation of the Creator.
