I am Thine

The vessel of divine love is the theme of this bhajan. The composition, by Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī, addresses his Gurudeva Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. It asks when the vessel will be filled. The bhakta waits at the door as a servant, fearing thirst. No one leaves that door empty-handed. A merciful glance awakens endless love in the disciple. The bhakta feels dying without love in the vessel. Past bhaktas like Mira and Kabīr received this love and drank with joy. Madhavānandajī implores for mercy to touch his soul. Mahāprabhujī declared the vessel was already filled. The disciple then stated only the Guru’s presence is desired. No wealth, no God, no other destination is wanted. Mahāprabhujī and Devpurījī affirmed the disciple is their own. At samādhi, the disciple said he remains always with the Guru. The presence, now in Badīkhāṭū and Om Āśram, is seen as living by those who come. The singular devotion made the Guru great.

“When will you fill my pot with your mercy, with your love?”

“I don’t want anything, only Gurudev, my Guru is everything.”

Holi! Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai, Śrī Devpurījī Mahādeva Kī Jai, Śrī Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jai, Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Śrī Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jai, Śrī Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Kī Jai, Satsaṅa Tandharma Kī Jai. Thank you. Now, let us speak about this bhajan. This bhajan was composed by Swāmījī’s master, Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, and it is addressed to his Gurudeva, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. The bhajan says, “Prema Kapiala Hari Kabo Mera Bhara Se Om Mahāprabhujī,” meaning: “When will you fill my vessel or pot with your love? O Mahāprabhujī, I am staying here as your servant, waiting and waiting. Please, when will you fill my pot with your mercy, with your love? I am waiting at your divine door. Will I go thirsty from here?” Whoever comes to your door receives everything their heart wishes. No one leaves your door empty-handed. When your merciful glance touches a bhakta or disciple, endless love arises. I am dying; why is my vessel still empty? Please, Divine, Merciful One, give me your mercy, your kṛpā. Mira, Kabīrdās, Narsimet, and Tulsī—all these bhaktas received this vessel of love and drank it with full joy and ecstasy. O Merciful Mahāprabhujī, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, can you not hear me? Please give me your love, please shower your mercy on me, says Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī, for only with this can you touch my soul. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai, Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jai. It was then said that when Madhavānandajī spoke to Mahāprabhujī, Mahāprabhujī responded, “He has filled up.” Yes, He filled me up completely. Completely. Mahāprabhujī often said, “I will give you as much money as you can carry, or anything you want, or you can go to the Himalayas or to God.” But Holy Gurujī replied, “I don’t want to go to God either. I only want to see you, Mahāprabhujī. I will remain only in your holy presence. I will not look to any days or anything else. I don’t need anything—no money, nothing. Only my Gurudev.” So Mahāprabhujī and Devpurījī said, “You are my own, it will be so.” When Holy Gurujī passed away and entered samādhi, he spoke a few words. Mahāprabhujī said, “Peace.” But Holy Gurujī said, “I am only yours. I am with you all the time.” These few words were very beautiful. I have forgotten them slightly, but I will tell you about them later. Yes, Mādhavānandajī, Holī Gurujī. Now he is in Badīkhāṭū and is everywhere, and in Om Āśram, Mahāprabhujī is leading beautifully. If you come, you will see that he is living there, and it is very good. All people come, and it is very good. Thus, he said, “I don’t want anything, only Gurudev, my Guru is everything,” and that was so. He said no money, nothing at all, and because of this, Mahāprabhujī is very great.
