Bramha Vihar Or Assembly of Divinity Or Immeasurable

(On the Mother’s day) Born out of my mother’s womb, My hazed eyes of the present day Converge the soft soil of this samsara Feeling the amorous warmth Of illimitable and immeasurable I'm quite conscious of. Grown up I'm In the tough and sturdy legs Massaged by the pure oil Of immeasurable mind. Matured I’m as the absolute man - The conception of My affectionate motherhood. In the time passing by, When my mother turned Old enough to fragility and frailty, Then my mindful memory Erased my own childhood - The nam* and roop* Of my mother in me. I'm occupied this much To set myself morally uprights, Bemused I’m in my right To concede you like my own, Stayed far away from your presence. The suffering you confronted In your old and fragile body, My nature of looking intently at you Fell down your mind into despair. When my mind stuck in Brahma Bihar, the Assembly of Divinity, I grasped you utterly. Alas! You were then only A lustrous star in the sky. Merely for a day of each year, Contentment flaunted in me by Peeping your Nam and Roop In me and mine In the beholding mirror Of the immeasurable universe. * Bramha Vihar, also called Chatu Bramha Vihar – The assembly of Divinity or immeasurable in Buddhism has four moral virtues, namely Loving Kindness (Metta), Compassion (Karuna), Sympathetic Joy and Equanimity (Upekkha) Samsara – The material world Nama – Mind and mindfulness Rupa – Shape or form
