Anand-Ashrama Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

God, where Your Anand-Ashrama,
Anand-Ashrama,
God, Anand-Ashrama,
Anand-Ashrama?

God, God, O, where Your Anand-Ashrama,
Anand-Ashrama,
God, O, God,
Your Anand-Ashrama?

Where there is nothing,
Nothing,
But anandam, amrita anandam,
God, there, there call you me in,
In, God!

Anand-Ashrama, Anand-Ashrama,
God, Your Anand-Ashrama
Replete with anandam,
Amrita anandam,
Ananda!

God, Lord-God, Your,
Your Anand-Ashram,
Anand-Ashram
Resonating with ananda, ananda,
Take You, take You me there!

God, Anand-Ashram, God, Anand-Ashram,
Your Anand-Ashram,
Your Anand-Ashram,
Anand-Ashram,
Where Anand-Ashram?

Away from mortal scare and worry,
Care and anxiety,
Despondence and dejection,
Despair and loss,
Angst and bewilderment.

Away, away from pain and sorrow,
Melancholic state,
Morbidity and depravity
To You, to You, God,
God the Divine!

Anand-Ashrama,
God, Anand-Ashrama,
Your Anand-Ashrama,
Into Your Anand-Ashrama,
Call You, call You me in!

Where there is no fear,
No anxiety,
Nothing to mourn and to be sad and morose,
Nothing to pine for,
No yearning, no expectation for return.

God, Anand-Ashrama,
Anand-Ashrama,
Your Anand-Ashrama
Where there is no pain, pain,
No remorse, remorse!

There is nothing, nothing
But anandam,
Anandam,
A strange anandam,
Anandam, anandam.

Where there is no fear,
No anxiety to maraud the soul,
No loss to repent for and expiate,
Nothing to bewilder you,
Only but anandam, anandam.

God, anandam, anandam,
God but Anandam,
Divine Anandam,
Anandam Divine,
Cosmic Delight, Cosmic Delight.

When loss and bewilderment pervade the spirit,
Anxiety and despair take over,
Maraud and malign the self,
When all ways seem to be lost,
Mortal cares seem corrode, where to go, where to go?

When the ways, all ways seem to be lost,
Where to go, where to go, my Lord,
Lord, when, all ways, all ways of life
And the world seem to have closed,
Closed for the wayfarer and it is dark.

Nowhere to go, nowhere to go,
Nowhere to go,
In that bleak state of hope lost,
How to sustain it,
Sustain it?

But to stay, stay on the way near the pathway end
And to pray, pray and sing,
Ananda, ananda, God You Ananda,
Ananda, Ananda-Ashrama,
Ananda, ananda.

God, You Ananda,
Ananda,
You Delight, Delight,
Joy, Pure Joy
And into a delighted state!

Here lie I in anxiety,
Cares and worries,
Scared and fearful,
Bewilderment and loss,
Despair and dejection.

Here, here lie I,
Lie I in
Pain and trouble,
Sorrow and grief
And remorse.

Repenting,
Expiating,
Mourning for the loss,
Lamenting,
Regretting.

But You my Joy, Joy,
Infinite Joy,
Delight, Delight,
Cosmic Delight,
Delight and be delighted.

This is the world of human want,
Mortal aspirations,
Yearnings,
Lust, want and greed,
Thirst and hunger.

This is the world of disbelief and mistrust,
Despair and loss,
Disillusion and dejection,
Trauma and tremor,
Suspense and fear.

From where to Anand-Ashrama,
Anand-Ashrama,
God, Anand-Ashrama,
The Ashrama of Delight,
Cosmic Delight And Pure Joy.

With the self illumined,
Illumined and sublimated,
Relieved from pain and sorrow,
Into A Kingdom of Joy, Pure Joy,
A Sublimated State of Happiness.
