Abhanga 209The Nature of God

Distinction from God Necessary

English Translation · I.P. 209

O repeat your name is to string pearls together; JL this pleasure in your embodied form is ever new. I have ceased to desire the unembodied God; your worshippers do not seek liberation. With you it is still left possible to give ahd to receive. What avails the spot where a dish stood, when it is taken away? Tuka says, Give me the gift of freedom from fear; say, O thou that pervadest the world, I have given it thee !

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