Your Magic Surrounds This World Poem by Ravikumar C.P.

Your Magic Surrounds This World



Kannada Composition by Purandara Dasa
English Translation by C.P. Ravikumar


Your magic surrounds this world
But my mind entwines around you
The world is within you
But you are within me
The world makes much of you
But you make much of me
Like an elephant that is captured in a tiny mirror
So I have captured you in myself
O Vithala of Purandara

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In this composition, the poet tells his Lord how he has achieved the impossible - he has managed to capture the infinite God in the finiteness of his mind, much like a mirror captures a behemoth.
