American Aarti
(By Hank Mindlin)


How can one fathom Your fathomless being?
How can we know You we see with gross eyes?
A glimpse of Your shadow has blinded our seeing;
How can your glory e're be realized?
Chorus;

Consumed is my mind in Your fire and
flame
Accept it O Meher, in Oneness Consumed is my heart in the sound of
Your Name.

Accept, O Meher, my aarti; Accept, O Meher, my Song.

Thought cannot reach You and word
cannot speak You
Infinite ocean of unending Bliss
Though we beseech You, how can we
seek You?
How can the finite know your limitlessness?
Chorus;

At Your command, suns and stars give
their light;
What in the worlds can I offer as mine?
Even my gift of love would be naught in
Your sight,
But veiled reflection of Your Love Divine.
Chorus;

You are the Ancient One, Lord of
Creation
How can we measure your true
majesty? You are the Christ, the Divine
Incarnation,
Dear Lord, please don't be indifferent to me.
Chorus;

You are beginning and end of all things;
This You alone who assumes every role.
Sinners and saints, beggars and Kings,
You are the Source and You are the Goal.
Chorus

How can one fathom Your fathomless
being?
How can we know You we see with gross
eyes?
A glimpse of Your shadow has blinded
our seeing
How could Your glory e'er be realized?

Chorus.
