English Translation The people who say
They have gone beyond
The thought of Twain
And grasped the One,
Should be as a child
Who has dreamt a dream.
For, so long as they
Can speak of it,
Are they not within
The thought of Twain?
The people who say
They have destroyed
All consciousness
And ignorance too,
And are released
From the Master's strings
How could they explain
The heart's art of love?
If the self-effulgent
Appears before
The eye of Awareness,
Upon the sharp
Summit of Mind,
Tell me, can one
Become oneself?
If one can forget
The knowledge grasped,
One should be dumb
Like my Ajaganna...
For the traffic of words
Goes with the lack
Of self-possession,
O Prabhu!
