Swami Veda Bharati

If you are ever angry

I will blend a thousand affectionate glances in the cool waters of Ganga right where she emerges from the glacier cave, and with a hundred green leaves from the tallest banyan standing in a temple courtyard's holy ground I will sprinkle the blend all over your mind.

Then how will you ever be angry?

If you are still angry

I will shape pitchers upon pitchers with the softest pure white petals of jasmines and lilies dripping with the early dawn's dew. I will fill my fragrant flower vessels with the milk of the liquid light of love that nightly floods the gullies between the star clusters of the milky way. I will sweeten the light with all the honey of the honeycomb of the soon rising sun 1 and will bathe your heart with this sun-sweetened delight from stars.

Then how will you be angry again?

If you yet remain angry

I will spray your whole prana and even your soul with the sweetest syllabic petals cooled in a chiming silver bowl filled with the most liquid vowels of the prayerful ancient charms and affection-wielding chants of celestial amity. Yes, I will spray you sprightly day and night, incessant especially in the moments between, with sippably softest serenades of these solace-scented sovereign psalms sung in the silent stillness on the sacred slender strings of my subtlest soul-ward-streaming sedate sushumna2 breath.

Then you will never be angry again.
