Dadu Dayal

 

Destroy delusion, O mind, by means of
    the Name of God and the Word
    bestowed by the Guru.
The mind is then united with the One
    untouched by karmas. Liquidate thereby
    thy karmas, O Dadu.

If the mind stays with the Name of the
    Supreme Lord even for a moment,
    O Dadu,
All its karmas will be destroyed then and
    there, within the twinkling of an eye.

The aspirant who fills his pot with drops
    of Celestial Melody, alone survives.
How can he die, O Dadu? He drinks the
    divine Nectar.

The artistic Creator is playing
    the instrument in perfect harmony.
Melody is the essence of the five elements,
    and through the self is the Melody
    expressed, O Dadu.
