The Matchless Mechanic

Swamini Sharadapriyananda

Numerous shells hast Thou made, milking Thyself gross,
Instruments hast Thou fitted, making Thyself the subtle:
Seated in each, Thou givest light to see and act,
Vast fields hast Thou provided for us all to live.

Ah! Master Mechanic, how hast Thou built this gigantic universe.
Sans material, sans instruments and sans workmen too?
Sure, Thou hast something superb,
Far beyond my wisest ken and wildest guess.

Let me not match my wits against Thine in probing Thy secret,
Make use of this machine if it suits, or cast it aside;
Give me the wisdom not to come in Thy way or hamper,
Give me the wisdom not to put forth my will and interfere with Thine.

�Swamini Sharadapriyananda
