MEERA ..Devotion personified

MEERA ...I adore  this historical character..for all its amazing qualities!!!
The beauty of the Rajput Princess,
The strength of her conviction and belief,.
Her faith in her lord,
and her individuality...to be what she is.
She believed in her lord and sacrificed all the material things...faced oppositions.. murder attempts and went on to love her krishna...and stay lost in her thoughts.
 This poem which talks about her love for Krishna and how nothing else matters to her:

Nothing is really mine except Krishna.
O my parents, I have searched the world
And found nothing worthy of love.
Hence I am a stranger amidst my kinfolk
And an exile from their company,
Since I seek the companionship of holy men;
There alone do I feel happy,
In the world I only weep.
I planted the creeper of love
And silently watered it with my tears;
Now it has grown and overspread my dwelling.
You offered me a cup of poison
Which I drank with joy.
Mira is absorbed in contemplation of Krishna,
She is with God and all is well!

मेरे तो गिरिधर गोपाल दूसरो न कोई।
जाके सिर मोर मुकुट मेरो पति सोई।
तात मात भ्रात बंधु आपनो न कोई॥।
छाँड़ि दी कुल की कानि कहा करिहै कोई।
संतन ढिंग बैठि-बैठि लोक लाज खोई॥
चुनरी के किये टूक ओढ़ लीन्ही लोई।
मोती मूँगे उतार बनमाला पोई॥
अँसुवन जल सींचि सींचि प्रेम बेलि बोई।
अब तो बेल फैल गई आणँद फल होई॥
दूध की मथनियाँ बड़े प्रेम से बिलोई।
माखन जब काढ़ि लियो छाछा पिये कोई॥
भगत देख राजी हुई जगत देखि रोई।
दासी "मीरा" लाल गिरिधर तारो अब मोही॥
