On the other shore

by Haude Gosain
(1795 - ?) Timeline

English version by
Deben Bhattacharya

Original Language
Bengali
Yoga / Hindu
19th Century

On the other shore
Of the ocean
Of one's own self,
Quivers a drop of fluid--
As the origin of all.
But who can cross the seas
To reach it?

The root of all
Is based in you.
Explore the base
To reach the essence....
