From The Very Beginning Poem by Gajanan Mishra

I am taking shelter of You only
And You can only give me relief
From all fear and from You
I have received this life.

I know You have made my entry
In to my mother's womb
Through the particle of my father's semen
And from the very first night
The sperm and ovum mixed
On the fifth night the mixture
Fermented in to in to bubble
On the tenth night it developed
In to a form like a plum
And then gradually turned in to a lump of flesh
In the course of a month my head formed
At the end of two months hands feet and other limps took shape
By the end of three months nails fingers toes bodies hair
Bones skin appeared and other organs generations
And other apertures in the body the eyes
Nostrils ears mouth and anus
Within four months from the date of conception
The seven essential ingredients of the body
Blood flesh fat bone marrow semen came in to existence
At the end of five months hunger and thirst made themselves felt
At the end of six months the fetus enclosed by amnion began to move
On the right side of mother's abdomen, my breeding place
And I suffered there terribly agony because of my tenderness
There in the abdomen itself I was bitten again and again
By the hungry worms and I was unconscious moment after moment
My mother was eating bitter pungent foodstuff too salty too sour
And I suffered incessantly pains that were almost intolerable
I remained lying on the one side of the abdomen
The head turned towards belly and back and neck arched like a bow
I remained there just like a bird in a cage without freedom of movement
I could remember there all the troubles of my past one hundred births
And I grieved wretchedly
O my dear, I prayed with folded hands and was appealing to You
O my Lord, You have put me in that condition
I offered my respectful obeisances unto You
As You were there with me unaffected and changeless
You are unlimited And I perceived You in the repentant heart
I am separated from You, my Lord because of my being
In this material world of air water light earth and sky
And my qualities and senses were being misused
I am spiritual and pure see my Lord
Without Your mercy, O my dear, I can not engage myself
In Your transcendental loving service
O my dear, no one other than You can save me
O my dear, in order to get free from the threefold miseries
I am surrendering myself unto You
And pray you again here to release me from this confinement
By Your causeless mercy let me awaken to consciousness
See me I am praying with folded hands
Let me control my senses and understand my destination
That is You that is the Ultimate Truth.
