(10) Universal perspective (Lok Bhavna)
Chaudaha raju utanga nabha From times immemorial
Lok purush-santhan In this universe of huge dimensions Tamen jeeva anaaditen Living beings are drifting round
Bharamata hain bin gyan. Devoid of true knowledge perception

:
(11) True knowledge is rare (Bodhi
durlabh Bhavna) Gaining access in this world to gold And hold off ruling power Luxuries of wealth and health Is a lot easier Than gaining access to rare true knowledge wealth
Dhana kana kanchan raj such Sabahin sulabhakar jaan Durlabha hai sansar mein Ek yatharath gyan.

(12) The Elixir of faith (Dharma
Bhavna ) Miracle tree (kalpataru) when
Jaanche sur-taru deya such invoked
Chintan chinta rain May fulfill one's wishes
Bin janche bin chintaye Contemplation may rid you of nights Dharma sakal such dain sleepless But faith alone without crutches of miracles Could bring you total bliss and happiness
