Like the story of the rope mistaken for a snake, the mystery has now been explained to me.

658 : 2559
Like the many bracelets, which I mistakenly thought were gold; now, I do not say what I said then. ||3||

658 : 2560
The One Lord is pervading the many forms; He enjoys Himself in all hearts.

658 : 2561
Says Ravi Daas, the Lord is nearer than our own hands and feet. Whatever will be, will be. ||4||1||

658 : 2562
If I am bound by the noose of emotional attachment, then I shall bind You, Lord, with the bonds of love.

658 : 2563
Go ahead and try to escape, Lord; I have escaped by worshipping and adoring You. ||1||

658 : 2564
O Lord, You know my love for You.

658 : 2565
Now, what will You do? ||1||Pause||

658 : 2566
A fish is caught, cut up, and cooked it in many different ways.

658 : 2567
Bit by bit, it is eaten, but still, it does not forget the water. ||2||

658 : 2568
The Lord, our King, is father to no one, except those who love Him.

658 : 2569
The veil of emotional attachment has been cast over the entire world, but it does not bother the Lord's devotee. ||3||

658 : 2570
Says Ravi Daas, my devotion to the One Lord is increasing; now, who can I tell this to?

658 : 2571
That which brought me to worship and adore You - I am still suffering that pain. ||4||2||

658 : 2572
I obtained this precious human life as a reward for my past actions, but without discriminating wisdom, it is wasted in vain.

658 : 2573
Tell me, without devotional worship of the Lord, of what use are mansions and thrones like those of King Indra? ||1||

658 : 2574
You have not considered the sublime essence of the Name of the Lord, our King;

658 : 2575
this sublime essence shall cause you to forget all other essences. ||1||Pause||

658 : 2576
We do not know what we need to know, and we have become insane. We do not consider what we should consider; our days are passing away.

658 : 2577
Our passions are strong, and our discriminating intellect is weak; we have no access to the supreme objective. ||2||

658 : 2578
We say one thing, and do something else; entangled in endless Maya, we do not understand anything.

658 : 2579
Says Ravi Daas, Your slave, O Lord, I am disillusioned and detached; please, spare me Your anger, and have mercy on my soul. ||3||3||

658 : 2580
He is the ocean of peace; the miraculous tree of life, the wish-fulfilling jewel, and the Kaamadhayna, the cow which fulfills all desires, all are in His power.

658 : 2581
The four great blessings, the eighteen supernatural spiritual powers of the Siddhas, and the nine treasures, are all in the palm of His hand. ||1||

658 : 2582
You do not chant with your tongue the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, Har.

658 : 2583
Abandon your involvement in all other words. ||1||Pause||

658 : 2584
The various Shaastras, Puranaas, and the Vedas of Brahma, are made up of thirty-four letters.

658 : 2585
After deep contemplation, Vyaas spoke of the supreme objective; there is nothing equal to the Lord's Name. ||2||

658 : 2586
Very fortunate are those who are absorbed in celestial bliss, and released from their entanglements; they are lovingly attached to the Lord.

658 : 2587
Says Ravi Daas, enshrine the Lord's Light within your heart, and your fear of birth and death shall run away from you. ||3||4||

658 : 2588
If You are the mountain, Lord, then I am the peacock.

658 : 2589
If You are the moon, then I am the partridge in love with it. ||1||

658 : 2590
O Lord, if You will not break with me, then I will not break with You.

658 : 2591
For, if I were to break with You, with whom would I then join? ||1||Pause||

658 : 2592
If You are the lamp, then I am the wick.

658 : 2593
If You are the sacred place of pilgrimage, then I am the pilgrim. ||2||
