Australian Aarti
(by Francis Brabazon)


O glorious , eternal Ancient one
Your face is a bright transcendental Sun
Lighten this dark world and the tears I weep
My heart Meher I give to You to keep.

Creator yet creationless you are
Truth and Truth's Body Divine Avatar
Who through, compassion the three worlds maintains
Destroy this ignorance that life sustains.

These five lights are the whirling spokes of breath
Of the world's wheel that bears me unto Death
Unless you who are infinitely kind
Break the wheels hub which is conditioned mind.

This incense is my love these fruits my art
Which to please you I have shaped from my heart.
Accept them as you would a simple flower
That has no use beyond it's shining hour.

You are my Self I sing to you in praise
And beg your love to bear me through the days
Till you the Ever living Perfect One
Illume my darkness with your shining Sun.
