The confluence of the sacred rivers is inside you; bathe there.
The Arc
Baynee takes the entire vocabulary of yoga — the subtle energy channels, the Tenth Gate, the seed-mantra, the cosmic void, the lamp and lotus at the brow — and reads every image inward. The pilgrimage-confluence is within; the sign of arrival is the unstruck music, needing no sun or moon; wisdom wells up and unkindness drains away; and the awake one never sleeps, never lies, keeps the senses in hand, and gives mind and body to Love. The piece rises to a radiant inner court and then lands, humbly, on longing: Baynee longs only for the Name.

Themes and Cross-Connections
The sacred geography of pilgrimage relocated inside the seeker; wakefulness, honesty, self-mastery, and love named as the real practice; and splendor discovered within rather than sought without. This is the raag of the yogis reaching its fullest inward re-reading.
For Raag Raamkalee
As the closing piece of the Bhagat tail, it completes the raag's long inward turn, taking the yogi's own map and reading every landmark as an inner reality.
Translation Notes
The dense yogic and tantric body-vocabulary is reinterpreted inward and kindly throughout: the channels become hidden streams, the Tenth Gate a secret inner doorway, the seed-mantra a small planted word. The original tramples the demons underfoot is softened to gently overcomes every inner trouble, following the wellbeing rules. The Hindu and yogic references are kept respectful; the whole point is interiority, not rejection.
