(According
\nto one idea Desire  <\/span>is 
\n<\/span>the  <\/span>creator 
\n<\/span>and  <\/span>sustainer 
\n<\/span>of  <\/span>things, – <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Desire
\nand Ignorance . By losing desire one passes beyond the Ignorance, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

as
\nby passing beyond Ignorance one loses desire; then the created world is<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

surpassed
\nand the soul enters into the Divine Reality. Kama here speaks as<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Desire
\nthe Creator, an outgoing power from the Bliss of the Divine Reality <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

to
\nwhich, abandoning desire, one returns, <\/i> <\/span>
\nā<\/font>nandam
\nbrahmano vidv<\/span><\/i>ā<\/font>n,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i>possessing
\nthe bliss of the Brahman.)<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n


\nO
\n<\/font><\/b>desolations vast, O seas of space<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Unpeopled,
\nrealms of an unfertile light,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Grow
\nmultitudinous with living forms,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Enamoured
\nof desire! I send My breath<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Into
\nthe heart of being and the storm<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Of
\nsweet attraction shall break up its calm<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

With
\nquivering passionate intensity,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And
\nsilence change to a melodious cry,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And
\nall the world be rose. Out of my heart<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Suns
\nshall flame up into the pitiless void<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And
\nthe stars wheel in magic dances round<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Weaving
\nthe web of mortal life. For I<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Am
\nlove, am passion. I create the world.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I
\nam the only Brahma. My desire<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Takes
\nmany forms; I change and wheel and race<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And
\nwith me runs creation. I preserve,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

For
\nI am love. I weary of myself,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And
\nthe world circles back into the Vast.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Delight
\nand laughter walking hand in hand<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Go
\nwith me, and I play with grief and pain.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I
\nam the dance of Krishna, I the dance<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Of
\nKali, Might and Majesty are mine.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And
\nI can make the heart a child at play,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nsoul of things a woman full of bliss.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Hunger
\nand Thirst, arise and make the world!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Delight, go down and give it strength to live!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

O
\nether, change! O breath of things, grow full<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Of
\nthe perpetual whirl! Break out, O fire,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In
\nseas of magic colour, infinite waves<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Of
\nrainbow light! <\/span>Thou
\nliquid element,
\n 
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\nPage-80<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Be
\nsap, be taste in all created things<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

To
\nplease the senses. Thou, O solid earth,
\nEnter into all life, support the worlds.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I
\nsend forth joy to cheer the hearts of men,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I
\nsend forth law to harmonise and rule.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And
\nwhen these things are done, when men have learned<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

My
\nbeauty, My desirability, My bliss,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I
\nwill conceal myself from <\/i>their desire<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And
\nmake this rule of the eternal chase,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey
\nwho abandon Me, shall to all time<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Clasp
\nand possess; they who pursue, shall lose.\u201d
