Niranjan Saar : निरंजन सार

O friend, the true path to God is that

of meditation and love.

Adore the Lord; love Him.

If the Lord could be obtained through holy baths,

I would have wished to be a fish.

If by eating berries and wild fruits

one could attain Him,

Then are not monkeys better placed than we?

If by eating dry leaves one could reach Him,

Should not the goat have done so?..

If worship of stone could lead one to God,

I would have adored a mountain.

But, says Mira, without love, my friend,

You can never meet the Lord.

-Saint Mirabai
