Main Sochta Tha
Tum Karte The
Apne ShaktiPaat Se
Mere Khazane Bharte The,
Maine Socha Tha, Vitthal
Tum Pragat Ho Gaye,
Us Leela Ke Rachiyata Ho Gaye,
Mujhe Tumhara
Ek Deewana Mila Tha
Jisne Ghar – Ghar Jaakar
Tumhara Naam Likha Tha,
Usne Mujhe Bola Tha
Tumhara Sambandh Hai
To, Baba Milenge, Zaroor
Pyar Hai, To Phool Khilenge, Zaroor,
Jab Maine Tumhe Dekha
To Tumhara Ho Gaya
Mujhe Aisa Laga
Tumhare Charno Ka Sahara Ho Gaya,
Poorv Janmo Mein Jo Gum Hua Tha
Usse Mulaquaat Ho Gayi,
Jab Tumhari – Meri Baat Hui
To Yeh Samajh Lo
Mere Devdhar Ki
Apne Dev Se Mulaquaat Hui,
Uske Baad, Main Sochta Tha
Tum Karte The
Apne ShaktiPaat Se
Mere Khazane Bharte The,
Main Roya, Chillaya, Gabaraya
Lekin Tumne
Mujhe Apne Paas Bithaya
ShriMadBhagvat Aur Bhaavarth Ramayan
Ka Paath Karaya
Uska Arth
Mujhe Samjhaya,
Is Par Bhi Tum Shaant Na Rahe
Apni Samadhi Ke Baad Bhi
Mujhe Apna Darsh Karaya,
Tum Saakaar Bhi Ho Niraakaar Bhi
Yeh Saakshat Karke Dikhaya
Tumhari Leelaon Se
Yeh Meri Samajh Mein Aaya,
Phir Punah Tum Shaant Na Baithe
1922 Mein Mujhe Shirdi Bulaya
S. B. Dhumal Ko Bhi
Mere Saath Karaya
Apni Hi Shakti Se
Shirdi Ko Ek Sansthan Banaya,
Aaj Bhi Main Chhup – Chhup Kar Yahan Aata Hoon
Aur Sada, Tumhe DwarkaMai Mein Paata Hoon
Tum Aaj Bhi Waise Ho
Jaise Pehle The
Log Badle – Shareer Badle
Par Tum Na Badle
Tumhari Leelaein Na Badli
Tumhare Khel Na Badle,
Aaj Main Apni Panguta Se Prasann Hoon
Jisne Mujhe Tum Se Milaya
Mere Man Ki Panguta Ko Hataya,
Mujhe Vimaan Mein Bithaya
Sada Ke Liye Apne Gale Se Lagaya…

मैं सोचता था
तुम करते थे
अपने शक्तिपात से
मेरे खजाने भरते थे,
मैंने सोचा था, विट्टल
तुम प्रगट हो गए,
उस लीला के रचियता हो गए,
मुझे तुम्हारा
एक दीवाना मिला था
जिसने घर – घर जाकर
तुम्हारा नाम लिखा था,
उसने मुझे बोला था
तुम्हारा सम्बन्ध है
तो, बाबा मिलेंगे, ज़रूर
प्यार है, तो फूल खिलेंगे, ज़रूर,
जब मैंने तुम्हे देखा
तो तुम्हारा हो गया
मुझे ऐसा लगा
तुम्हारे चरणों का सहारा हो गया,
पूर्वजन्मों में जो गुम हुआ था
उससे मुलाकात हो गयी,
जब तुम्हारी – मेरी बात हुई
तो यह समझ लो
मेरे देवधर की
अपने देव से मुलाकात हुई,
उसके बाद, मैं सोचता था
तुम करते थे
अपने शक्तिपात से
मेरे खजाने भरते थे,
मैं रोया, चिल्लाया, गबराया
लेकिन तुमने
मुझे अपने पास बिठाया
श्रीमद्भागवत और भावार्थ रामायण
का पाठ कराया
उसका अर्थ
मुझे समझाया,
इस पर भी तुम शांत ना रहे
अपनी समाधी के बाद भी
मुझे अपना दर्श कराया,
तुम साकार भी हो निराकार भी
यह साक्षात करके दिखाया
तुम्हारी लीलाओं से
यह मेरी समझ में आया,
फिर पुनः तुम शांत ना बैठे
1922 में मुझे शिर्डी बुलाया
एस. बी. धूमल को भी
मेरे साथ कराया
अपनी ही शक्ति से
शिर्डी को एक संसथान बनाया,
आज भी मैं छुप – छुप कर यहाँ आता हूँ
और सदा, तुम्हें द्वारकामाई में पाता हूँ
तुम आज भी वैसे हो
जैसे पहले थे
लोग बदले – शरीर बदले
पर तुम ना बदले
तुम्हारी लीलाएं ना बदली
तुम्हारे खेल ना बदले,
आज मैं अपनी पंगुता से प्रसन्न हूँ
जिसने मुझे तुम से मिलाया
मेरे मन की पंगुता को हटाया,
मुझे विमान में बिठाया
सदा के लिए अपने गले से लगाया…

I used to think and You used to do. My coffers were filled by Your powers. I was under wrong impression that Lord Vitthal appeared, but it was Your sport. I met a person who loved You dearly and who wrote Your name by roaming house to house. He told me that if Our relation is there, Baba will come to me. If you have love, flowers will blossom. I became Yours as soon as i saw You. When i saw You, i thought i have support of Your Holy Feet only. I got the One whom i was missing from past many births. When We talked i felt that a person aspiring for God, met God. I used to think and You used to do. My coffers were filled by Your powers. I cried, screamed and feared, but You made me sit beside You and explained me meaning of Bhagwat and Bhavarth Ramayan. Though it did not satisfy You and to came before me after Your Mahasamadhi. You made me realize that You are formless and with form. I understood this by Your sports. Then again You were anxious and called me to Shirdi in 1922. You made me meet S. B. Dhumal. You made Shirdi an organization with Your powers. Today also, i come here secretly and always find You in Your Dwarkamai. You are the same. People changed, bodies changed, but You have not changed, nor Your sports. Today i am proud of my lameness due to which i met You and removed lameness of my mind, made me sit in an aeroplane and merged me in Yourself forever.
