adoring and praising Your Mercy? When am I to remain joined in mystic embrace with You! Oh! God!” (27:8). He becomes impatient but thinks of His greatness, how He is rare to everybody right from the heavenly Beings down to the saints and seers. He accuses himself that he does not devotedly pray to Him, that he does not earnestly strew flowers on His dazzling Feet, that he neither cries in amazement nor melts in adoration. He does not know what will become of him. He feels that hs is going to perish (5:18). So he weeps and prays for His mercy. “Oh! King! You are the entire Principal and guiding principle to my five senses and to my soul! I am to weep with worry whether You would take pity on me. I am to weep whether You bestow Your Grace on me and abide in me! What else can Ido? Oh! Ambrosia!” (21:4). “Oh! Honey! Oh! Ambrosia! I myself am a lie. My heart is a lie. My love unto You is also a lie. But if I would weep. Oh! Essence of sugarcane! I could gain You! Oh! Sweet One! Bestow on me Your Grace that I may come unto you!” (5:90). Again and again he prays to the Ocean of Mercy. He weeps and meits for His Grace. 3. (a) The fiow of tears: As and when his body and soul soften in every pore and melt with yearning, He the Supreme Mercy condescends to enter his body and abide in him dispelling the darkness of unreality (22:2). The Sea of Mercy abiding in him melts his soul and causes the flow of tears or bliss (17:2). Taking advantage of this he weeps and prays for His Grace more and more. The Lord entered his body taking it verily for a lofty golden temple as he melted pore by pore. The Supreme Effulgence melted his bones, eradicated all his bonds of sorrow, birth, death and delusion and enslaved him (37:10). 26
