When the fruit is produced, the flowers wither away.

For the sake of spiritual wisdom, people act and practice rituals.

When spiritual wisdom wells up, then actions are left behind. ||3||

For the sake of ghee, wise people churn milk.

Those who are Jivan-mukta, liberated while yet alive - are forever in the state of Nirvaanaa.

Says Ravi Daas, O you unfortunate people,

why not meditate on the Lord with love in your heart? ||4||1||

NAAM DAYV:

Come, O Lord of beautiful hair,

wearing the robes of a Sufi Saint. ||Pause||

Your cap is the realm of the Akaashic ethers; the seven nether worlds are Your sandals.

The body covered with skin is Your temple; You are so beautiful, O Lord of the World. ||1||

The fifty-six million clouds are Your gowns, the 16,000 milkmaids are your skirts.

The eighteen loads of vegetation is Your stick, and all the world is Your plate. ||2||

The human body is the mosque, and the mind is the priest, who peacefully leads the prayer.

You are married to Maya, O Formless Lord, and so You have taken form. ||3||

Performing devotional worship services to You, my cymbals were taken away; unto whom should I complain?

Naam Dayv's Lord and Master, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, wanders everywhere; He has no specific home. ||4||1||
