O My Soul, Become the Infinite
O my soul, become the infinite Break beyond all shape and name, Shatter the shell of form and fame, Let the heart’s fierce flame arise, And touch the skies O my soul, become the infinite. Tear through the veils of creeds unending, Transcend the truths the wise are defending, Climb where thought itself grows thin, Beyond all bounds—rise deep within O my soul, become the infinite. Nowhere rest, no shelter build, Seek not ends where dreams are stilled, Flow forever, ever wide, With no shore and no divide O my soul, be the eternal tide, O my soul, become the infinite. (A poetic translation of Kuvempu’s verse)
