I, Lalla, willingly entered through the garden-gate, <br />There, O Joy! I found Siva united with Sakti; <br />There and then I got absorbed drinking at the Lake of Nectar. <br />Immune to harm am I, dead as I am to the world, though still alive. <br /> <br />[Taken from The Ascent of Self: A Reinterpretation of the Mystical Poetry of Lalla-Ded, by B. N. Paramoo]<br /><br />Lalleshwari<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-lalla-willingly-entered-through-the-garden-gate/
