Syamasundar-Shaped Hole

(Chapter 6, Text 30)

I've been so lost

So alone 

So empty

For minutes and hours and days and years 

and eons

If only I could see and hear

Your eternal form of Śyāmasundara, 

situated within my heart

I know You would tell me 

"For one who sees Me everywhere 

and sees everything in Me,

I am never lost, 

nor is he ever lost to Me."

Don't be lost

alone

or empty

I am right here, You tell me.

After all,

Nothing can exist without Kṛṣṇa, 

Kṛṣṇa is the Lord of everything.

If only I would open my heart

to Your eternal form of Śyāmasundara, 

You would become my everything. 

That intimate relationship between the Lord 

and the devotee 

will fill the hole in this heart

the Syamasundar-shaped hole

the hole that echoes to me that I'm 

lost 

alone

empty

If only I would open my heart

You would never disappear from my sight

And I would never lose sight of  You

For you are my dearest Friend.
