Devotion Inward-Turned

: To have my reflection drawn across this portion of your heart—what a wondrous feeling!
: This special spiritual manifestation of mine, surrendered to your heart's highest, purest emotion—before which no possibility of concealment remains.
: Even your slightest anxiety in this moment could endanger me.
: My external being has emerged through suffering precisely to keep unexpressed this deep feeling of love for you.
: It is in the eagerness to know this sensation that dramatic changes have come to our outward behavior.
: How much curiosity do you think you have about this matter?

: The love that has appeared in my heart, the love that possesses me, that satisfies me, and that holds my heart's restlessness—I claim this love as mine alone; it is my duty to keep it awakened.
: In grasping onto the feeling of love, our external forms have been dragging along their streams of sorrow, passion, wounded pride, blind devotion.
: Who else could imprint the truth within the heart as deeply as you?

: Every path to earning your complete trust is sacred to me.
: You are my innermost, you are unchanging, you are my most beloved.
: With the same heart and soul I have waited for you.
: Your special arrival has made my heart a vessel of good fortune.
: Certainly, I have found the ultimate friend.

: We have met on a vast path—where, abandoning both the sleep of delusion and worldly slumber, in the knowledge of the soul, in your love, my being remains forever awake.
: You alone dwell in my heart as the undivided infinite.
: In the shelter of your ceaseless love, the abundance of my peace continues to grow.
: You are powerfully present; I offer you salutations in this spontaneous taste of liberation while living.

: Perhaps the occasion of this special understanding with you is not yet visible to you? But I know without doubt about your every step.
: This unprecedented similarity of feeling between us has touched my heart.
: Because this loving devotion of mine has received the highest honor in your soul, I have become so eager to gain your allegiance.
: I believe I alone may be capable of alleviating the pain of your worldly death.
: The afterglow of that special moment offered in your presence still awakens in my heart.
: Is repetition of this feeling possible once more?
: You need not be restless to repeatedly take in the boundless afterglow of this feeling.
: The dominance of our external union is completely unnecessary before this spiritual connection.

: How is such completeness possible in any person's external being!
: You are devoted to fulfilling the soul's demands even in worldly terms, you possess boundless power.
: You have truly enchanted my heart.
: Just as your restlessness at my touch is pronounced, its afterglow is clearly reflected in your soul as well.
: I have wanted to remain a partner in all your feelings;
: I am certain—I am not separate from you.
: How foolish then is my external being—that has ever wanted to think of you apart from my existence!
: Do you think how much I have savored your true nature?
: Your living touch—it is merely the beginning of infinite sweetness.
: Your heart's inner vision is my soul's supreme companion.
: You are undivided, you are unchanging, you know no decay.
: In your soul—before infinite knowledge—the form I take is merely reflected in my heart—a form that enchants even me.

: Your innermost feeling called 'love' is eager to be revealed to me, yet I say—let it remain unrevealed; for only unrevealed feelings have gained greater acceptability in our bond.
