Bhagat Namdev Ji

So why shouldn't Your humble slave also float across, chanting Your Name, O Lord? ||1||Pause

You saved the prostitute, and the ugly hunch-back; You helped the hunter and Ajaamal swim across as well.

The hunter who shot Krishna in the foot - even he was liberated.

I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to those who chant the Lord's Name.

You saved Bidur, the son of the slave-girl, and Sudama; You restored Ugrasain to his throne.

Without meditation, without penance, without a good family, without good deeds, Naam Dayv's Lord and Master saved them all. ||2

In the one and in the many, He is pervading and permeating; wherever I look, there He is.

The marvellous image of Maya is so fascinating; how few understand this.

God is everything, God is everything. Without God, there is nothing at all.

As one thread holds hundreds and thousands of beads, He is woven into His creation. ||1||Pause

The waves of the water, the foam and bubbles, are not distinct from the water.

This manifested world is the playful game of the Supreme Lord God; reflecting upon it, we find that it is not different from Him.

False doubts and dream objects - man believes them to be true.

The Guru has instructed me to try to do good deeds, and my awakened mind has accepted this.

Says Naam Dayv, see the Creation of the Lord, and reflect upon it in your heart.

In each and every heart, and deep within the very nucleus of all, is the One Lord. ||4

Bringing the pitcher, I fill it with water, to bathe the Lord.

But 4.2 million species of beings are in the water - how can I use it for the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny?

He continually plays in supreme bliss. ||1||Pause

I bring flowers to weave a garland, in worshipful adoration of the Lord.
