Western Arti by Hank Mindlin

How can one fathom Your fathomless being?
How can we know You, we see with gross eyes?
A glimpse of Your shadow has blinded our seeing;
How can your glory ere be realized?

Consumed is my mind in Your fire and flame;
Accept it, O Meher in Oneness.
Consumed is my heart in the sound of Your name;
Accept, O Meher my Arti;
Accept, O Meher my Song.

Thoughts cannot reach You and words cannot speak You,
Infinite Ocean of unending Bliss
Though we beseech You, how can we seek You ?
How can the finite know limitlessness?

Consumed is my mind in Your fire and flame;
Accept it, O Meher in Oneness.
Consumed is my heart in the sound of Your name;
Accept, O Meher my Arti;
Accept, O Meher my Song.

At Your command, suns and stars give their light;
What in the worlds can I offer as mine?
Even my gift of love would be naught in your Sight,
But veiled reflection of Your Love Divine.

Consumed is my mind in Your fire and flame;
Accept it, O Meher in Oneness.
Consumed is my heart in the sound of Your name;
Accept, O Meher my Arti;
Accept, O Meher my Song.

You are the Ancient One, Lord of Creation
How can we measure Your True Majesty?
You are the Christ, The Divine Incarnation,
Dear Lord, please don't be indifferent to me

Consumed is my mind in Your fire and flame;
Accept it, O Meher in Oneness.
Consumed is my heart in the sound of Your name;
Accept, O Meher my Arti;
Accept, O Meher my Song.

You are the beginning and end of all things.
Tis You alone Who assumes every role.
Sinners and saints, beggars and kings,
You are the Source and You are the Goal.

Consumed is my mind in Your fire and flame;
Accept it, O Meher in Oneness.
Consumed is my heart in the sound of Your name;
Accept, O Meher my Arti;
Accept, O Meher my Song.

How can one fathom Your fathomless being?
How can we know You, we see with gross eyes?
A glimpse of Your shadow has blinded our seeing;
How can your glory ere be realized?
