English Translation I clung to the flesh
And missed the truth:
And so I am lost!
I clung to the mind
And missed wisdom:
And so I am lost!
I have let my will
Be tremulous still:
And so I am left forlorn!
I talked of wisdom
And yet I fell
To ignorance.
Forgetting myself,
I was caught in this maze
Of you and I!
Glorious Ajaganna,
Having known the Supreme,
Has over my eyes drawn
A dark veil and gone!
