Baba and I

Posted January 1, 2004

Baba is the Moon, bright and beautiful;
I am the star, twinkling and tearful.

Baba is the Meru, sheer and beautiful;
I am a dust under foot, weak and uneventful.

Baba is the Kalpa Tree, bountiful and beautiful;
I am a creeper twining it, tender and delightful.

Baba is the Ganga, broad and beautiful;
I am a stream joining it, sweet and plentiful.

Baba is the Brindavan Garden, gay and beautiful;
I am a blade of grass in it, soft and humble.

Baba is an Ocean of Milk, white and beautiful;
I am a fish in it, playful and graceful.

Baba is the King of Kings, majestic and beautiful;
I am a page under Him, obedient and cheerful.

Baba is God, loving, merciful, and beautiful;
I am His footstool, soft and colorful.

Baba is One, than whom no one is greater;
I am one, than whom no one is smaller.

~Dr. K. Vaidyanathan
