Having had a mystic realisation of God, the poet has tried to depict God in his songs; but he has failed to explain to explain hes meaning. Divine presence is a mystic experience that comes through faith; wrds cannot communicate it. God loves the mystics and comes to them while the world scorns them.
Through his sonsgs, the poet has sought his Maker all his life. Through his songs he grew in wisdom and saw the depth of reality. Throug his songs he hopes to reach his final destination – God.
The ocean of this universe hides in its depths the perfect pearl – God. The poet has ever been searching for this Infinite. He no more enjoys being tossed about by the waves, but is eager to die and become with the eternal
God has conquered the poet; he will lay akk that he has at the feet of his Victor and Master, and there he will weep out his pain. The loving and merciful God will bless him and call him, and he will gladly welcome death and go to Him
Life and death are presented here as the two breasts of the Divine Mother. we are born strangers in the world, but this mother nurses us. Birth brings the should into this strange world; death takes it to the unknown eternity. Taken from one breast, the baby weeps; put to the other, he is consoled. so does man, leaving life, find rest in death.
The poet is eager to set out on the journey of death. He hopes to meet God, his Beloved, at the end of the journey. He will dress like a bridegroom and go without fearing difficulties and dangers, sure to be welcomed by God.
Death is calling, and the poet is about to begin his last journey. He thanks his fellw beings, his brothers, for their goodness to him, begs for their good wishes, and leaves to them whatever wealth he has.
The poet will die, but nature will go on. as usual, each passing hour will bring its pleasure or pain. As death is near, the poet is concerned with spiritual things and no more with material wealth. Nature makes no distinction between the rich and the poor.
The poet is the bride who awaits her bridegroom, Death. When he comes, she will offer him all her hopes, joys and love. Now the bridegroom has arrived and the wedding is celebrated. As a bride finds fulfillment in her union with the bridegroom, so the poet’s life will be fulfilled in union with Death.
When death comes, the poet will welcome it, honour it and offer it all that he has acquired in life. Through death one is freed from the body and is able to come face to face with God.
