The sensual passions whirl about!
I am eddying in an eddy - Lord,
Let me not be engulfed therein!
Make me not mind aught else
But thee, O Lord!
This only I beg thy ÿaraõas-
The matchless essence of the Bliss,

The servant and his lord?
To speak the truth, and act

The worldly man who lies
In word, and fails in deed.

My speech is all pretence;
A slander what crosses mine
Must make me cross...
The ready cake, I'm ready to eat:
Beating, I run!

If but his servant ask?
But if I enter as a slave
And bear myself as king,
Kíðala Saþga's piety
Makes me a laughing-stock!

My life is like a dog
Licking a sword's sharp edge
For ghee!
My mind will not forsake
The bother of this world!
O Lord Kíðala Saþgama,
Out of thy mercy, rid

Flashes into mind,

The Godhead never heeds
The vaunted deeds.
It's only when I find
No trace
Within my mind
No conscious thought
Of what I've wrought,
Then only shall He hear
And grace my prayer!

One can love Guru, but not Liþga;
One can love Liþga, but not Jaþgama;
One can love Jaþgama, but not the Brotherhood;
One can love the Brotherhood, but not please it;
One can do all these things, and yet
Not know oneself; but should there be
The proud sense that one know onself,
O God, Thou art withdrawn from them.
O Kíðala Saþgama Lord,
Thy curse on me, Thy Pioneers' curse,

If a creature born of greed and, learning greed,
Covets a meritorious pride of place,
Will the birth-cycle fail to come?
Is begging a curse for one who's born to beg?
And will a harlot's child be gentle and nice?
Will it be proper, O Lord Kuðala Saþgama,
To wish for the Liþga-dawn, the spread of ÿaþgama,
In you?

If a reprobate, a worthless man,
Offers an entire country to you,
Don't stay in his presence out of greed!

Provided he is a pious man;
Better to be a servant's help
Gather you wild leaves,
Fry them in an earthen pan,

Oh, blast this mind!
It turns me into a fop,
Blowing itself too big
In all it does or says!
When all that holds your looks
Together, fails and falls,
Your doting wife will shun your touch ;
Fire take your body ; your things the King ;
Your wife accpet a second beau!
Until your bygone days
Hve ceased their chase,
All that you do is vain,
O Lord Kíðala Saþgama!

What does it matter for a man
Of good repute, to live five days?
What does it matter to live four,
Or three, or two? It is said:
'A ÿivabhakta's life is good
Were it but for a week;
However, a life without devotion,
O ÿaþkari
Is worthless, though it lasts
A thousand of Brahma's cycles of time'
Accordingly,
Is it not enough, praised by
Kíðala Saþga's ÿaraþas
To live a single day!

I have no fear of streaking snake,
Nor point of sowrd, nor tongue of flame;
There's one thing makes my whole heart shake;
I tremble at the hazardous game
Another's wife or wealth may make!
In days of old, Rãvaõa was bold,
But soon Rávaõa's knell was tolled:
Only to think, my heart grows cold,
O Kíðala Saþgama Lord!

As though you'd live for ever and not die,
You hoard your wealth.
But should life end and death should come,
There would be none to enjoy your wealth!
Do not hoard wealth,
Burrowing the earth!
When the earth swallows, does it
Spit out a gain?
Content to look at it with eyes,
Storing it under ground,
Do not you, unconsuming, go!
You think you leave it to your wife;
May be your wife has other plans:
The moment that your body drops,
Surely she gives it to another man!
Do not give it for others' use
And prove a big and silly sheep!
It should be spent, and spent at once,
For Kíðala Saþga's ÿaraõas.

With God on them, and if I ask

May Thy curse and Thy Pioneers curse
Be upon me and my head, my head!

If I should seek to know

Unless the flow of blood appear,
There is no harbourage
Wherein the embryo may dwell.
The function of the seed is e'er the same.
Greed, lust, anger and joy,
All other passions are the same.
Whatever you read or hear, what fruit?
What is the rule to judge a caste?
"The embryo needs the seven elements;
It is the same birth out of the same womb;
Same the alliance of self and soul:
What, then, the usefulness of caste?"
You are a blacksmith if you heat;
A washerman if you beat;
A weaver, If you lay the warp;
A Brahmin, if you read the Books!
Is anybody in the world
Delivered through the ear?
The whole world knows
Therefore, O Kíðala Saþgama Lord,
The priests are vile!
The well-born is the man who knows
The nature of Divinity!

O God, after adoring Thee
The caste of Cenna changed to good!
O God, after adoring Thee,
The caste of Dása became agreeable;
O God, when Maðivála Mácayya
Fell at Thy feet!
Fused in Thy feet!
What boundary is there, O Lord,
Unto the caste Thou love'st,
The filth Thou lovest not?
"He who is dedicate
To Liþga-worship, though he be
An outcast, is an eccellent sage;
Whereas a Brahmin void of it
Is but an outcast"-this being so,
What means this high and lower caste?
It's he who does not say
'I salute Thee, O unborn'
That is the low-born man!

That street will be the ÿiva-world,

Provided he is

The man who, once believing, does not believe
Is but a doubting soul.

Unless your heart is touched?

Cennayya, is my father:
He fetches fodder for the royal stable.
You say I have no kin:
Why, my sister cooks at Kañci!
O Kíðala Saþgama Lord,
Lo, I received out of your hands
The piety my ancestors

But, when my kinsmen come,
Do say 'I have no time'!
Why didn't they come
When I was excommunicate
From water and from thread,
And came into
The discipline of the Faith?
At touch of the alchemic stone
Iron turns gold:
Will there be, afterwards,

Holding your nose, you meditate;
Let hang your head, and move your lips,
And count your fingers with eyes shut:
As if the grass-knot on your hand
Should wail, in ignorance
Of Kíðala Saþga!

They are not content with sleep both night and day:
Were it not strange if they could gain,
By counting fingers, the highest good?
O Kíðala Saþgama Lord,
What should I say of those without shame
Who hanker for salvation by closing
Their nose?

"Let this go to the breathing air,

To the digestive air; this to the air
Within the throat, and this

What use is it
For a parrot to read?
He cannot say
'The cat, he comes!'
The eye that sees
The entire world
Is blind to the blade
That cuts him off.

To know what others be
Are ignorant of themselves,
O Lord Kíðala saþgama!

You say, "Life, honour, wealth are Thine":
But you shrink from an actual test;
When one draws near to test you,
You choose to fight with swords.
You cannot be a follower
Of Liþga and Jaþgama!...
O Kíðala Saþgama Lord,
How is it possible to have
Devotion in such hypocrites
Who are worth their garb alone?

What sort of religion can it be
Without compassion?
Compassion needs must be
Towards all living things;
Compassion is the root
Of all religious faiths:
Lord Kíðala Saþga does not care
For what is not like this.

Who knows the Gita is not wise;
The Master of words, too, is not wise.
He is wise only who has faith
In Liþg. He is wise
Who wears himself for Jaþgama.
He, too, who clipped
Yama's tongue and tail
And he is wise who is a ÿaraõa
Of our Kíðala Saþgama.

Endear yourself go Guru;
Offering your heart, you should
Endear yourself to Liþga;
Offering your wealth, you should
Endear yourself Jaþgama...

Those who, without these three,
Beat hard the kettle-drum

When a Jaþgama is convinced
That a bhakta is his servitor,
And a bhakta is convinced
The Jaþgama is his lord,
One must dismiss the doubt
Of 'come' and 'come not', is and 'is gone'.
As long as there's the sense of 'gone away',
I am cut off
From Thee and farther from Thine own,
And farther still from the ÿiva faith!
Is but Thyself, I rest
If I'm unable to brook
Thy humble servant, Lord
The Jaþgama's going and his standing still,
Kíðala Saþgama!
His bluster and his antics too,
Do Thou, O Kíðala Saþgama Lord,
Cut off my nose at once!

Like water poured into the hole of a skull
Is Liþga-worship apart from Jaþgama!
But Liþga-worship before a Jaþgama
That is the path to piety, good Sir!
To enjoy the offering and for a second time,
Enjoy the offering offered back
The Prasáda of Jaþgama, that
That's Liþga-worship for me.

When a poor saint comes, they say

By cutting off their nose?

Is like a painless wail!

Once melted butter turns to ghee,
The ghee, by cancelling its form,

Look, lady, he is not as others are:
My husband knows no action, nor
Dallies in acts of love!
For Lord Kíðala Saþgama hid me
Within Himself!

Daughter, I say you ought to blush
Whenever you see my son-in-law;
Daughter, I say you ought to move aside
Whenever you see my son-in-law,
But there's no screen to blush behind
No place where you can slip away!
When both of us have but one lord,
Where, then, my daughter, is the screen?
When you have espoused Lord Kíðala Saþgama,

When a Jaþgama comes along
Because it is a bhakta's house,
The bhakta, seeing him, clears his seat,
Stands bowing low with folded hands,
Bends and sways, and calling him,
"Lord, so us the grace to come in,"
Offers a seat, adores his feet,
Drinks the water after washing them,
Offers the sacred ash and támbílam,
Gazes at him until his eyes are filled,
Greets him until his ears are surfeited,
And speaks to him until his mouth is full,
Saying, "What must I do, what's thy behest?"
To look at him with melting body and mind,
And serve him, that is Bhaktisthala.
Of the heart's ltus inmost core!
Be he or rich or poor, to take this much
As the important thing, is Jaþgamasthala.
The glory when these two become as one
Cannot be said
This way or that: so let it be!
Another act than this does not befit
Bhaktisthala: it bears a fruit!
To have another act than this
Done, does not befit the Jaþgamasthala:
It turns to means of livelihood!
Behold, O Kíðala Saþgama Lord,
Through bookish learning and guesswork...
For these two this our worldly life
Except for Kíðala Saþga's ÿaraõas,
Will never cease!
