Maha-Avatar Babaji Maharaj, rare photograph not painting (Self-created image) while living in Bengal as Sri Badal Chatterjee

A motionless motion pervades all space

Either time or anti-time falls in its grace

Which way it moves is not known

And the heart-beats on its own

It enraptures a still center

Expanding and contracting from it, energy and matter

By the sheer will-force all existence come in its fold

How wonderful by itself

The full moon reveals its torus

And on the surface of a lake its little reflection

Leaves the virgin trace of its light

In a shoal of fish

Oh! How wonderful by itself

The dewy arms of the grass embrace the foal

And the stars bestow their blessings

One day it will run

Run, run and run.
