Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
A description of the experience
from Caturvedi no 37 translated by Professor John Stratton Hawley
I'm coloured with the colour of dusk
oh rana
coloured with the colour of my Lord
Drumming out the rhythm on the drums
I danced
coloured with the colour of my Lord
They thought me mad for the Maddening One
raw for my dear dark love
coloured with the colour of my Lord
The rana sent me a poison cup
I didn't look I drank it up
coloured with the colour of my Lord
The clever mountain lifter is the Lord of Mira
Life after life he's true
coloured with the colour of my Lord
