I’ve Seen, I’ve Seen
Smt. Devi
I’ve seen, I’ve seen! O Earth, O Sky! Our Creator I’ve seen!
No, No! Not in a dream! In reality, our wonderful Artist I’ve seen!
I’ve seen, I’ve seen! O Wind, our Lord, with these eyes I’ve seen!
You, I’ve not seen, but the Maker of us both, with my eyes I’ve seen!
I’ve seen, I’ve seen! O Fire, I swear, our Lord Datta I’ve seen!
Whose heat make your flames hot, that Blazing Form of Shiva I’ve seen!
I’ve seen, I’ve seen! O Ganga, O Moon, Your Bearer, with my eyes I’ve seen!
The pure, cool-minded One; Yes, that very Shri Gangadhara Chandrashekhara I’veseen!
I’ve seen, with these very eyes I’ve seen! The Creator of this creation I’ve seen!
Truly in those three days, the Three-faced Datta, Creator of the three-worlds, I’ve seen!
I swear I’ve seen! God showering love, with these very eyes I’ve seen!
To His devotees, with His own hands, God giving food, I’ve seen!
Yes, I’ve seen, I’ve seen! God singing with devotion to God, I’ve seen!
I’ve seen, I’ve seen! Our God telling things about God, I’ve seen!
I swear I’ve seen! The Master of the three worlds, walking on Earth, I’ve seen!
I was running behind Him and the Lord walking peacefully I’ve seen!
Like an ordinary person, Narayana going from one devotee’s house to another, I’ve seen!
Such a wondrous scene it was! Shri Narayana, bowing His head before every temple I’ve seen!
Yes, in those three days, God showering His complete love on us, I’ve seen!
How can I say? My Lord spending time waiting for us, with these eyes of mine, I’ve seen!
Showering love like a mother, with the worried mind of a father, my Lord pacing around, I’ve seen!
Truly I tell you, staying awake Himself, God letting us sleep, with my eyes, I’ve seen!
I’ve seen, I’ve seen! Fulfilling the duties of the ideal Divine Father, Shri Rama, I’ve seen!
Making our sorrows as His own, hiding His troubles from us, Lord Shri Krishna, I’ve seen!
Didn’t I tell you I’ve seen? I swear I’ve seen! Truly the Lord I’ve seen!
God’s tender mind, worried always due to our concern, I’ve seen!
No, No! It’s not imagination! In a wakeful state, truly the Lord, I’ve seen!
Not in a radiant form for a few seconds, His infinite radiance of knowledge, with my eyes, I’ve seen!
So far I don’t know how many types of persons with my eyes, I’ve seen.
But God, only inside one human being, in Shri Venu Gopala Krishna, I’ve seen!
Lord Rama getting satisfaction with Shabari’s tasted berries, the entire world has seen.
Taking my foolish words to heart as devotional songs, the kindest Lord Datta, you all have seen!
How can I tell you? Shouting out loud, I’ve seen! With my eyes, the Lord I’ve seen!
Yes, I’ve seen, I’ve seen! The beautiful Creator of Creation, with these very eyes, I’ve seen!
I’ve seen, I’ve seen! Shri Rama and Shri Krishna, with my very eyes, I’ve seen!
Shri Rama and Shri Krishna unified, in the incarnated Shri Venu Gopala Krishna, I’ve seen!
In Whom Praise Becomes Real
Unimaginable God
Basically I am totally satisfied without any desire, Veda says[1],
Nothing is unattained or unattainable for Me, Gita also says,
The human being component associated with Me has desires,
I merge with it totally in and out, hence appear as if desiring.
In efforts to achieve desires, success and failure entertain Me,
At any time, I can go into Myself and come out of imaginations,
Which constitute this entire world, but world is real for souls and
Hence, souls can’t withdraw themselves being parts of the world.
Of course, even souls can withdraw themselves from the world
By attaching with Me and immersing in the ocean of devotion,
Attachment is not possible with Me being the unimaginable God,
You can attach with Me only when I am expressed as human form.
Both human being component and Myself are one and the same
In reality since I pervade all over body and soul homogeneously,
This point is maintained for the devotees realizing Me as My form,
Dualism does not exist at all, if they conquer the ego and jealousy.
Such true devotees praise Me with sincere heart like yourself,
I accept such praises since they are totally true by their core,
In the case of God, no praise is exaggeration, but truth only[2],
God is not affected by ego since each word of praise is true.
Ego affects the human being only since his praise is false,
All merits belong to God, all defects belong to souls only,
I shall fulfil all the prayers of My true devotees in some birth,
For Me, a birth is just a fraction of second, I created the time,
I am omniscient knowing heart of heart of every created soul.
Sages in forest praised Rama as the absolute unimaginable God,
Their prayers, then, were not innocent and sincere like your songs,
Sages were the top most scholars, they liked to test ego of Rama,
Rama told “I don’t know what you say, I am just a human being”,
The sages were satisfied and bent their heads with folded hands,
Gita says “God comes in the same path in which you come to Him”[3].
If one is effected by jealousy like eye becoming red by ‘Madras eye’[4],
My monism with human being component changes to dualism only,
It is expressed also to pacify jealousy like antibiotic ointment used
To normalize the infected eye, I always love even My bitter enemy.
When Arjuna praised Lord Krishna while giving radiant cosmic vision,
His prayer was sincere since he was praising Me drowned in full fear,
Moreover, I was directly singing as ‘Bhagavan’ through Vaasudeva,
The singer, as long as I exist in him, both of us one, one and one only,
Like shocking current and wire are one only while wire is electrified.
I amDatta, famous as controller of spiritual examinations for all souls,
In this universe-university, in My system either pass or failure only exists,
If you get hundred out of hundred, you have just passed, even if you get
Ninety nine out of hundred, you have failed in this test, you can repeat,
Provided you get human birth again, I will help you to get it on your merit.
Whenever I merge with human being component, as unimaginable God
I do not merge directly, only through My energetic incarnation I merge,
I have given this vision to Datta Swami in pious place called ‘Shrishailam’,
Energetic form has limbs, which dissolve in his limbs, Upanishat says so[5],
Soul cannot make limbs function, why then blind, dumb, deaf and lame?
Finger of Narayana merged with finger of Krishna to lift hill, Veda says[6].
Even human incarnation commitsmistakes, Parshurama by ego
In the theoretical level, Balarama in the practical level by killing
Sūta, the low-caste person, these examples are insulting them,
The human being components, a show only, showing their failure
To pacify jealousy of devotees, the only problem in the only way,
My human being component is always nearest, controlled by Me!
All this world is My property, movable and immovable, you are one
In My movable property, for the play, I disown all this property and
I come in human form as a beggar before your house to test you,
Not that I am hungry, only to see whether you are angry!
Impressed by your true devotion, I revealed all My secrets,
I reveal the truth to My real devotees with full confidence
That they will not change in any new environment they face,
Ego and jealousy run away from them failing by all efforts.
All the sages worshipped Lord Rama, recognizing Him as God,
Both Shabari and sage Sharabhanga gave fruits to the Lord,
Shabari liked to give her best to Lord, prior tasting is a sin,
But, in her divine love to Lord, sin was crossed as Gita says[7].
Shabari alone went to abode of God, with her body, by divine plane,
Sharabhanga has to give up his body by jumping into fire altar,
To reach the same abode, no other sage could really reach it,
In the total practical surrender, even the justice is sacrificed.
The pleasure of the Lord was her aim and not her pleasure,
A devotee is unhappy if tasted fruits are offered to the God,
All worldly loves for their happiness only and not for others,
The Veda says this[8], love should not be for the selfish happiness.
The Human incarnation, in fact, represents total universe,
Which was shown by Krishna to Arjuna as His gross body,
In unimaginable God, no matter-energy-soul, not created,
In energetic incarnation no matter, in human incarnation
Unimaginable God, energy, awareness, matter-all present.
When one becomes really the human incarnation in future,
He or she will refuse it crying “O Lord! Remove this at once”,
It is a position of responsibility and not misuse of powers,
It is a golden crown with inner nails, yet, you have to smile!
The human incarnation behaves likean ordinary human being only,
Mixes with humanity with common birth, death, thirst, hunger etc.,
Then only, devotees take freedom to be free with the incarnation
To clear all their doubts in friendly way without any hesitation.
Miracles bring distance between God and even close devotees,
Arjuna in friendship-devotion feared a lot on seeing Vishwarupam,
Startedasking excuses for all slips happened in his past friendship,
Questioned again only when the Lord became normal human being.
Arjuna was in mixed state always, believing Krishna sometimes only,
The reason was his ego since he was the best warrior in bow-arrows,
Krishna was a part time God for him, hence, Krishna taught him alone,
Dharma Raja was mad in Pravrutti, didn’t listen Him to tell lie, a sin,
Bhima totally surrendered to Him, killed elephant by His order at once[9].
Gopika saw monism between Me and human being component,
Uddhava saw same monism between Me and every human soul,
Who was right? Gopika did not transform herself into Uddhava,
Vice-versa happened, he became not Gopika, but, mad Gopika!
Devotees say that sometimes Datta appears as a ghost, correct,
By that, He indicates that the most dangerous ghost is jealousy,
Possessed by which, people killed innocent human incarnation,
Blessed are those, who expelled this ghost by spiritual knowledge.
I will be captured by any devotee irrespective of caste and gender
If the devotee becomes Atri and Anasuya, not by the drama dress,
Atri means lack of ego of knowledge, power and material wealth[10]
Standing for three qualities, Anasuya means without the jealousy.
Sometimes, I become omnipresent on a special requirement of
Devotees like Prahlada, though I always exist beyond this world,
As proved by Neti Neti[11], Veda and Gita say this very clearly since
My occasional omnipresence is possible due to My omnipotence,
The world is in Me and I am not in the world[12] except incarnation,
I was aware of all your songs while you were composing them.
Am I not that cloud? Is My poured spiritual knowledge not that rain?
Is My correlation not that lightening? Is devotion born not that sprout?
When you, emotion, told all those by swearing that you have seen Me,
You were telling Me only that you have seen Me present everywhere!
I am unimaginable God, My human incarnation is most complicated.
No other way also to reach Me, you are most firm in your devotion,
Nikhil is the best dedicated scholar in the propagation of knowledge,
What a wonderful combination of these three divine personalities!

[9]Dharma Raja did not accept to tell lie since it is sin. He voted for justice against God. Then Krishna named an elephant of opposite side as Ashvatthaama and asked Bhima to kill it so that a trick can be played to make Drona to believe the death of his son called Ashvatthaama. Hanuman, Bhima and Madhva, the sons of Vaayu are considered as the best devotees.
