Abhanga 172The Nature of God

In Himself

English Translation · I.P. 172

WE hear it said that Janardana lives in mankind; how is it we fail to perceive this ? Who is it that passes through birth, age and death, through pain and disease ? Guilt and merit, conduct pure and impure, who is it that has taken these on himself and why ? Wo die and pass away; but not so thou; how shall we assure ourselves of this ? Tuka says, Do thou unfold this mystery and show me the truth.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
