THE BELOVED COMES HOME – The one I longed for has come home. The raging fire of separation is quenched. Now I rejoice with Him, I sing in bliss. The peacocks at the cloud’s roar dance with unbound joy. I rejoice in ecstasy at the sight of my Beloved. I am absorbed in His love. My misery of wandering in the world has ended. The lily bursts into bloom at the sight of the full moon. Seeing Him, my heart blossoms in joy. Peace permeates this body of mine. His arrival has filled my home with bliss. That very Lord has become my own who is ever the redeemer of His devotees. Mira’s heart, scorched by the blaze of separation, has become cool and refreshed. The pain of duality has vanished.
