________________
The preaching of the sun
touches the heart,
and the perversity in the attitude vanishes. In some moments;
the point of debate got forgotten
and the dialouge is laid to sleep. The three badalis
changed inwardly also
in consonance with the outward change.
The stand of their Lord, the sea
seems them perverse,
that of the Lord of the world, the sun
looks them proper.
Hearing about their own bright tradition they experienced a sense of hate for themselves and for their guilt;
so they at once spoke;
"Oh Lord! The lapse may be pardoned.
the maids want to serve;
when will that splendid sight be the object of these eyes? The soil may subside, Lord!
The 'food' which is
the limitless basis,
the origin, the source of bliss remained unknown;
may it now be made known, Lord!"
What is worth doing,
and what is unworthy of doing,
208: Silent Soil
