Chapter-18
Release
I have realised my essential nature through You and there remains nothing for me to do except do Your bidding. You are my preceptor, my God, the sight of whom obliterates the visible universe, who, although dual, removes all duality, who although single pervades everything, whose very contact snaps all bonds, who when longed for destroys all longings, who, when met with, brings about one’s meeting with one’s own Self, who keeps company in solitude and leads one beyond the knowledge of non-duality (1566-1570). If after becoming Brahman and relinquishing all actions good or bad, I wish to serve You faithfully. You give the devotee a share of Your Divinity just as when the river Ganges goes to serve the ocean, it itself becomes the ocean. You are my worthy preceptor, fit for worship without any formality, who has laid me under a deep obligation by granting me, the vision of Brahman. You have removed the screen of distinctness which existed between You and me and You bestowed upon me the sweet joy of serving You. O God of gods, I shall do whatever You command me to do (1571-1575).” |
