Chapter VI: I. 83. candâ jhalkai yahi ghat mâhîn

Text size

The moon shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it:
The moon is within me, and so is the sun.
The unstruck drum of Eternity is sounded within me; but my deaf
ears cannot hear it.

So long as man clamours for the _I_ and the _Mine_,
his works are as naught:
When all love of the _I_ and the _Mine_ is dead, then
the work of the Lord is done.
For work has no other aim than the getting of knowledge:
When that comes, then work is put away.

The flower blooms for the fruit: when the fruit comes, the flower
withers.
The musk is in the deer, but it seeks it not within itself: it
wanders in quest of grass.
