Hari dwells in every spirit, pervading it
as fire pervades wood. Light is reflected in
every vessel, yet it does not perish when they
perish. If you pound grass, you find no milk in it,
yet when the cattle eat grass it turns to milk; he
alone knows the secret of this who pervades all
things and yet remains without them. The fruit
appears at the end of the plantain tree; yet if you
search within the stem, what do you find there?
Cursed be the impatient man, his life is wasted;
he gets no fruit or flowers; his labour is wasted.
The reflecting medium occasions the name; but the
reflection is nothing more; the essence remains
behind in the dense body. Since the medium is
impure, how can you see the essence within? Do
not go on increasing sin and merit. Employ the
true secret, have done with pretences; thus I Tuka
entreat you; need I fall at your feet? If your
desires are set on children, wife and money,
consider, what will be left you at the end?
