THE TWO PATHS
VISWANATHA SATYANARAYANA
While, eager for darsan,
I was on
my way to Thy
shrine,
Someone told me Thou had’st
gone
In search of me to my humble abode;
Lord, which way did I go, and which
way did’st Thou pursue?
Beloved, how fortunate was my path
That it did not touch even the fringes
of Thine!
