I know not

Ma, I know not why the nature has three Gunas,
Bound to these fetters, a Jiva roams in varied wombs.
But I know, Thou art there everywhere to carry us,
Helping to rejoice and celebrate all days of our lives.

Ma, I know not why there are the Sun, the Earth and planets,
Bound by the Universal Force, Prana, held safely in Thy arms.
But I know, Thou art there always everywhere to care us,
Helping to rejoice and celebrate even in the midst of sorrows.

Ma, I know not why there are countless Universes,
Confounding the little human intellect that counts.
But I know, Thou art there to teach us in humble ways,
Helping ever to love, serve and celebrate all our days.
