Lord White as Jasmine

ಎನ್ನ ತನವು ಕೊರೆದದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಹೆಸರಲಿ, ಎನ್ನ ಮನವು ನಿಂದದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಧ್ಯಾನದಲಿ, ಬಯಲಿಗೆ ಬಯಲು ಬೆರತಂತೆ ನಾನು ನಿಮ್ಮಲಿ ಬೆರತು ಹೋದೆನಯ್ಯಾ, ಚನ್ನಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನಯ್ಯಾ.

I have seen the great After-Light. For a Kingdom, I am the Queen. I have seen the Entire, the Absolute. 

Like a piece of camphor caught in a flame, I was consumed.

Like a doll of salt dropped into the sea, I dissolved.

My body is Yours, My breath is Yours, My pride is Yours. O Lord White as Jasmine, I have become You.

~Mahadevi Akka, Shūnyasampādane XVI:63
