What the sages sought they have found at last. No more questions have they to ask of life. With self-will extinguished, they are at peace. Seeing the Lord of Love in all around, Serving the Lord of Love in all around. They are united with him forever. They have attained the summit of wisdom By the steep path of renunciation. They have attained to immortality And are united with the Lord of Love. When they leave the body, the vital force Returns to the cosmic womb, but their work Becomes a beneficial force in life To bring others together in the Self.

Whenever you are tempted by this world, picture a derelict covered with filth whose noxious odor is intolerable. Reviled you will shut your senses to the offensive sight. In the like manner, stay away from abomination of sin that may deface your purity. The Lord shall bless you with much bounty; therefore let not the cares of this world drive your peace away.
