Creepers of Aspiration
(After Sri Aurobindo’s Darshan)
By D. R. BENDRE, M.A., Dharwar
(Rendered by the author from his Kannada poem)
Arise Creepers of Aspiration, bloom
From the inmost heart
To the utmost doom;
Let the movement start
From the Sun up to the Moon,
Oh! Grant us the boon!
Let all of us be what we are–
Not specks of dust, nor odours fine
But stars of Grace Divine.
And the call comes from afar,–
"Arise, Children of the Sun, Arise
For the mother pours her blessings
From her living lustrous eyes."
