How can Your Creative Potency be described? I cannot even once be a
sacrifice to You. Whatever pleases You is the only good done, You, Eternal and
Formless One. Countless fools, blinded by ignorance; thieves and embezzlers;
impose their will by force; cut-throats and ruthless killers; sinners keep on
sinning; liars, wandering lost in their lies; wretches, eating filth as their
ration; slanderers, carrying the weight of their stupid mistakes on their
heads; names, places; inaccessible, unapproachable, celestial realms. Even to
call them countless is to carry the weight on your head. Describing the state of the
lowly: From the Word, comes
Praise, spiritual wisdom, singing Songs of Glory, the written and spoken words
and hymns; destiny, written on one's forehead. But the One who wrote these
Words of Destiny-no words are written on His Forehead. As He ordains, so do we
receive. The created universe is the manifestation of Your Name. Without Your
Name, there is no place at all. When the hands and the feet and the body are
dirty, water can wash away the dirt. When the clothes are soiled and stained by
urine, soap can wash them clean. But when the intellect is stained and polluted
by sin, it can only be cleansed by the Love of the Name. Virtue and vice do not
come by mere words; actions repeated, over and over again, are engraved on the
soul. You shall harvest what you plant. By God's Command we come and go.
Pilgrimages, austere discipline, compassion and charity - these, by themselves,
bring only an iota of merit. Listening and believing with love and humility in
your mind, cleanse yourself deep within. All virtues are Yours, Lord, I have
none at all. Without virtue, there is no devotional worship. I bow to the Lord
of the World, to His Word, to Brahma the Creator. He is Beautiful, True and
Eternally Joyful. What was that time, and what was that moment? What was that
day, and what was that date? What was that season, and what was that month,
when the Universe was created? The Pandits, the religious scholars, cannot find
that time, even if it is written in the Puraanas. That time is not known to the
Qazis, who study the Koran. The day and the date are not known to the Yogis,
nor is the month or the season. The Creator who created this creation-only He
Himself knows. How can we speak of Him? How can we praise Him? How can we
describe Him? How can we know Him?
