In decad 45-Sub-title- “Relating the experience of limitless rapture” the saint happily declares, “Oh You Who have been called “Aa Aa” and have lovingly become His slaves of our mighty King! Come and gather together. The time has come to go leaving the unreal and enter beneath His Feet. The flood of grace mingling unceasingly with our heart dissolves it into His experience” (45:1). There seems to be a great significance in the subtle expression of “Ah! Ah!” or “Aa! Aa!” as it is a divine call of God. This term means “Come here!” in most places. If we carefully arrange the verses in which this expression occurs in the order of sequence of the experiences of the saint, and study them a bit deeply with their respective sub-titles of the Decads his spiritual evolution will become evident. 1. In the first place the saint prays to God to confer on him His grace by saying “Ah! Ah!”(4:94) 2. Secondly he pleads, “Bid me to come unto You!” in order to pray again and again and be steeped in Bliss even if he were to die and die. (5:74) 3. He entreats, “Graciously say “Ah Ah!” so that he may be consoled by meditating on Him for unceasing Bliss. (44:5). 4. He expresses the ambition of his ripe soul, “I long for You to look at my face and say “Ah Ah!” (25:3) 5. Indicating his desire for experience of Bliss he argues, “If You do not say “Ah Ah!” Who is here to tell me “Don’t fear!” He is a bit annoyed but asks “will You not console me at least now!” (50:6) 71
