Lyrics (by Nayaswami Jyotish)
Oh, Divine Mother, I long to know You.
Fade away, O world of maya.
Oh, Divine Mother, I long to know You.
Away, I’m bound away into the deep sushumna.
Oh, Divine Mother, I long to see You. Fade away, O gaudy maya.
Oh, Divine Mother, I long to see You.
Away, I’m bound away through the bright Kutastha.
Oh, Divine Mother, I long to hear You.
Fade away, O noise of maya.
Oh, Divine Mother, I long to hear You.
Away, I’m bound away to merge into the bliss of AUM.
