In Fact

I would love to offer

All the stars of the sky,

But, in Your tremendous brilliance,

The blinking rays of twinkling stars

Would completely fade.

I pine to present

The most exotic fragrant flowers

At Your Holy Feet,

But, the celestial aroma of Your Divinity

Had already intoxicated every inch of sphere.

I sometimes venture

To offer my good deeds

Just to please You,

But in fact,

You remain ever blissful,

Even before the beginning of time and creation.

Thus I realized that my offerings do not

Contribute to the glory and adoration

Of  Your Cosmic Form but rather,

It enables me to remain pure

And ever mesmerized in Your thought.
