ઈબ્દોપદેશ When all is compassed by the self, It one and one becomes with God. 6
Path of Peace and Piety It becomes a traveller in the summer, When treading towards the sweet home, To follow a safe straightened path, Covered by cool shade of groves. 7 Similar in the walks of life, Moving towards the goal of truth, It behaves a man to firmly stick, To path of peace and good conduct. 8 The path of peace is double good, It comforts here and onwards, Through lovely vistas of heavens, Leads to the goal of eternal bliss. 9 While the unruly ways of life, Denying equal rights to all, Are ever a menace to this life, And onwards lead to hellish broil. 10 It does not matter for a man, To carry weight to half a mile, Who's fit, strong and ever used, To carry weight to many miles. 11 So far a path of peace and good, Which leads to goal of eternal bliss, It is not hard to reach a heaven, A half way house on the trip. 12
