Unreal Attachment to the Body (18/82)

The Lord is He
Who devised the way of reaching the silentness
That is subtle beyond perception.
A vassal am I to all life He created.
And so, little room is there to speak
Of I and mind.
Long, long may live the protective Feet
Of our Holy Guru who taught:
''Be thou rid of desires all.''
Only to those of divine knowledge
Who thus adore in directions all,
Will the fruit of Bliss in the hands be.
