Offering to the Fire of Suffering

: I am prepared to sacrifice everything to share in your deepest feelings; do you doubt this?
: There is no room for doubt; rather, in your presence I have found an incomparable happiness.
: Your soul has always prepared itself for suffering; 'sorrow'—this purifying emotion—guides you, an exquisite path to divine peace. This special sense carries your spiritual quest, whose reflection has also touched my soul. Is this not natural?
: Indeed, this is a miraculous sharing. The fullness of your highest emotion—love—is reflected even in my experience of suffering. This is why we are bound in such unity.
: I am aware of your every step. The spiritual heights that our union has reached may stand as a unique example for this world.
: Without your extraordinary endurance and capacity for suffering, the love in my heart could never have been purified. Is this union not destined for us alone?
: Certain imperfections in your outward existence have affected you, wounded your confidence; yet this very vulnerability has deepened our spiritual connection.
: Had I not reached close to your soul, this anguish would have driven me to death. So I have surrendered my soul to make it my own within my heart.

: Your love is ultimate truth to me, its reflection inscribed in my depths. Our spiritual communion now extends far beyond.
: The universe is easily within your reach; becoming even your smallest partner, I feel complete. I offer my gratitude—accept it at once.
: I welcome you—this spiritual partnership will enrich our consciousness, in this firm belief I remain steadfast.
: Your sudden transformation has brought joy to my soul, but the temporary dormancy of part of your heart troubles me deeply.
: Your guidance alone is my pathfinder. Only you can quicken my heart's pace.
: Your soul seems utterly reluctant to accept happiness; yet I have devoted every particle of my heart to give you the feeling of supreme bliss. Are you unwilling to receive it?
: Ha! I am entranced by this distinct form of yours. Perhaps my temporary indifference appears more pronounced to your inner sight.

: There is no other destination for us; the meaning of this feeling is embraced in the Supreme.
: All the colors of emotion are blended together in your heart, making you infinite. How much of this essence do you think I have been able to taste?
: The trembling of your heart, the restlessness of your form has intensified my love even more.
: Though your enchantment threatens my outward existence, I have established your soul in the highest place of honor within my heart.
: Prepare your soul to receive happiness; there is no place for self-interest between us—only the search for pure feeling.
: Every emotion of your supreme soul dwells within me; does this influence make your soul anxious?
: Not at all, rather I am enchanted by your vastness. Is not this yearning itself true love?
: Your serene feeling has expanded my emotion called 'maya.' But how much fulfillment can its brief duration ensure for us?
: The permanence of 'maya' is hard to predict; but through the touch of your sensitive soul, it has entered my heart deeply.

: Paths without destination last long—this path is ours alone. In your touch I am enchanted by restlessness, but can our supreme souls maintain peace in this?
: I believe no negative effect will touch our supreme souls; but the intense emotion that has arisen in your heart is irresistible and unimaginable.
: Are you not prepared to accept this feeling?
: By my touch alone you have awakened your supreme soul; I am amazed! Your detachment has drawn me even closer. Without accepting you, my soul cannot reach completion.
: The depths of your inner vision are not yet fully revealed to my outer eyes.
: Yet in this state of great enchantment, my soul has received the touch of your gaze—the witness to our spiritual truth is revealed in our own conscience.
: Surely, though our union was unplanned, it is infinite and magnificently true.

: You have kept your heart ever awake; such deep feeling can only be born from pure love.
: My supreme soul knows only how to hold love; this feeling is surely not unfamiliar to you?
: I know the depths of your feeling, because I am part of you. Therefore I have been able to feel your sweet torment called 'suffering.'
: You are the most beloved, the adored, the almighty—the journey of your suffering has spread throughout the world.
: In our world there is no place for failure; even to maintain outward existence, sleep, pleasure, promise, even failure—all must be kept awake. You cannot ignore this.
: Though my outward beauty may be destroyed, spiritual purity will never be lost.
: In your heart I am eternal, awakened; yet your unique worship has overwhelmed me. Can you let me endure the agony of death?
: Your image in my heart now radiates intense light; this illusion creates trembling in my inner world.
: My existence is clear in both your outward and spiritual being; external intrusion is impossible here. You are unprecedented. This union is possible only through you, though failure might endanger your life.
: The love hidden in your assurance escapes my eyes; but in tasting all of your wisdom, sweetness, love and virtue, I have surrendered myself.
