Success of spiritual practices

In considering the most mysterious, intricate
yogic practices for spiritual illumination
I passed the golden period of my life
and sitting in the solitary cremation place,
by chanting the holy hymns, shortened nights.

I never looked behind when meditating and worshipping
and inspired by the glory of prayer and pilgrimage,
spent the most of my lifetime by circumambulating the universe.

I plunged into profound perplexity at the seashore of knowledge
and bathing in oceans and rivers endeavoured in vain
for the everlasting joy’s experience.

But on that very day, beholding Thee in that little delicate girl
that looked like an abode of beauty, with nectarine voice of affection,
I became a flower of Thy worship.  
It was only then that my spiritual practices succeeded,
my great pilgrimage was completed.
