THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY
(JANUARY, 1932
24. Tana mana gayēs bu tas kuny;
Búzum satic ghanga wazán; Tat jayi dharanáy dharan ragam ;
A kdsh ta prakash kurum sarah. I turned towards Him with body and mind;
I heard the bell of truth ringing; I held meditation with firmness on that spot; I realized the sky and the light.
25. Těmbara pěyas kava no tsájin ?
Mas ras kara ohonájin gos? Shantén hanz kriy tola mola wodjin
Andrim grudh yoki nobar pyos. A spark fell on him; why could he not bear it!
Why did wine-juice go down his throat ? He depreciated the weight and value of the practice of the saints Sinoe his inner radiance gleamed forth.
26. T'im chi na manash, tim chiy Rishiy,
Yiman děh manah nishi gav. Badit ta budit byák kyah rachiy ?
Phutimatis bangs piyi gěv. They are not human beings, they are saints,
By whose mind the body has been forgotten. What I will a stranger support thee after growing up and getting old ! Clarified butter shall spill out from thy broken pot.
27. Tyth mudur lay mydth zahr:
Yes yuth tshanuk jatanbhav; Yami yath karay kal ta qahr,
Suih tath shahr odtit pou. Bitter (i..., control of senses) is sweet; sweet (i.e., gratification of senses) is poison: Exertion of whatsoever nature fell to one's lot (i.e., it fell to one's choice to
decide between the two); Whoever desired and persevered (to reach a certain city),
He did reach that city,
4 A Yogi hears a sound in the interior of his body when the exercise of prdndydma has loosened the brahma-granthi, or knot of Brahma, in the andhata circle, and then he, through the void of his own internal universe, obtains a glimpee of the Supreme Light.
6 Saints walking in higher spheres remain in communion with God. In their eyes every action tending to personal worldly aggrandizomont sullies the true love of God. They, therefore, look with disfavour towards those who work miracles. This Saying was regretfully quoted by Rapa Bhawani in her childhood when she saw the saint Righi Ple performing miracles.
