When I see His ways, I sing. Thus I find peace, O brothers.
O brothers, lose yourself in the Word; the true guru shall lead you to Deva.
Where light shimmers, there resounds the unsounded Word.
Light blends with light: this I perceived by the guru's grace.
There were rubies bright as lightning in my own lotus-room.
He is near, not far. He fills my very breath.
Where shines the eternal Sun, there a lamp also dimly burns.
I finally understood by the guru's grace. Now the slave Namdeva is blended with the Eternal.
