Young Mystics, Muktabai - Where darkness is gone I live
Where darkness is gone I live,
where I am happy.
I am not troubled by coming and going,
I am beyond all vision,
above all spheres.
His spirit lives in my soul.
Mukta says: He is my heart's only home.

Poetry Chaikhana | Muktabai - Where darkness is gone I live
I do not have dates for this twelvth century Hindu poet. It is certain that her mystical experiences began early as child in poverty. I suspect that she died while still very young. She was the younger sister of Jnandevi.
