The Infinite One

For Meher Baba's Birthday, February 25, 1894

The Song

The sands of the Infinite desert

Stretch out far beyond the eye.

Each grain calls out to me,

Each cry beyond my ear.

I am aware of every soul

Knowing all and yet alone.

My strength is in the sky.

Gaseous ball of firelight

Burns the suffering sand,

Cool ether of the cosmos

Within my heart and hand.

Pitted, crater covered moon

Glows beyond the sea.

Within I am alone in thought,

Water, earth, rock, sky is me.

And you who feel nothing,

A tortured ignorance

Of all that is beyond—

Look to the stars.

Hear the boulders sing.

Let the waves, the wind

Enlighten you.

Baba Ran, 2/24/16
