This way leads to every stage of salvation; the
highest worship is that of God manifest.
The form that is cherished in our hearts displays
Himself when he perceives the purity of our faith.
The name of Hari is seed and fruit; the perfection
of merit and pious conduct. It is the key of all
accomplishments, it dispels anxious care. Where
Thy name is repeated and Thy praises sung and the
servants of Hari lay aside shame, there a delicious
draught is poured forth, the snares of the entangling
world are severed. The signs of His presence dwell
within us, God stations Himself there; His powers
come to visit us unbidden; there is no more birth
and death in store for us. You need not abandon
your own order of life, nor the pious ways that
have grown up in your family; trouble not over
anything but the one sufficient name of Vitthoba.
Narayana, the Declarer of the Vedas, the unembodied
Brahma, of the Yogis, to the emancipated,
says Tuka, He is the primal and perfect spirit, to
us simple people He shows Himself incarnate.
