| O Sants, my mind pays me no heed, no heed at all |
|
|
| The Whole life is lost in the love of ill desires |
|
|
| O all-knowing Lord, have mercy: I am foul, deceitful, the slave of desire |
|
|
| All sing praises with their body, but with soul scarce one sings the praise |
|
|
| All creeds proclaim the sovereignty of love: they proclaim it greater than Ganga and Joga's ordinances |
|
|
| How can I expound His form or outline: there is no second who has seen Him |
|
|
| In all, in each heart, He is manifest: by His touch each life comes to be |
|
|
| They ask of the Path but have no knowledge, intent on quarrels sound and fury |
|
|
| The Bees have flown, the cranes have settled: night is gone, day too will pass |
|
|
| Brother, only if thy soul is spotless, thy body will be spotless too: by no other means can evil be done away |
