I am disgusted with the good. Do not put forth efforts which will bring guilt on you. There may be censorious and evil persons round you; do not encourage their views. Men who will protect the good should be sought by an interview. What pleasure would it be to meet you? The days of my life are spent. There are but one or two rules of life; if we recognize their meaning, we shall not lose our self respect. There is one that brings a blessing, and its purport is this, learn to see one spirit in all created things. Fix your thoughts on the joyous self, see yourself in Ramdasa. Blessed is your birth on earth, O King, renowned in your name are the three worlds.
