Soft Wind, Clear Sky

Soft Wind, Clear Sky (Is This Love?) © Dada Nabhaniilananda 1987 The words “Baba Nam Kevalam“ at the end of this song are a samskrta mantra, generally chanted before meditation. They mean that everything in this universe is a manifestation of one cosmic consciousness, or, more simply — Love Is All There Is. Is this love, is this love, is this love, Floating to me in a dream? Is this love, is this love, Filling all my life with meaning? I thought that You were far away from me, but tonight I feel no distance, I see You standing in the tall sky, as I touch You to reach on high. Won’t You let my heart, my heart stay still, A sweetness in the near distance, The words I thought to utter now lie still, And in my mind just thoughts of You. Is this love, is this love, is this love, Flowing through me in a stream? Is this love, is this love, Filling all my life with meaning? Your soft wind takes my heart by storm, I find a stillness at the centre And pass through worlds I never dreamed of, I see You come and let the darkness die. I love to call You in the morning, A light that’s forming in the clear sky Touches my heart like a soft hand, And takes my mind to reach on high. A love more than you can imagine, Will not hear the voice of reason. The joy is echoing around me, And all you’d done, I thought, was smile. Is this love, is this love, is this love, Floating to me in a dream? Is this love, is this love, Flowing through me in a stream? Is this love, is this love, Filling all my life with meaning? This love, this love, What is it, what does it mean? Baba Nam Kevalam
