<strong>The</strong> <strong>Story</strong> <strong>Of</strong> <strong>Swami</strong> <strong>Rama</strong><br />

Wed me to Him O Brahman!<br />

I am His betrothed,<br />

I am His,<br />

Unite me with Him, Celebrate my wedding<br />

—From Hindi<br />

None compasseth<br />

Its joy, who is not wholly ceased from sin,<br />

Who dwells not self-controlled, self-centred,<br />

calm, Lord of Himself 1 It is not gotten else.<br />

— Sir Edwin Arnold's<br />

Translation of the Gita.<br />

I Went to consult a physician (on my ailment of<br />

love)<br />

And I told him of my Secret pain<br />

He replied:<br />

Shut your mouth and utter naught but the name<br />

of thy Beloved<br />

I asked as to my diet?<br />

He replied: Eat thyself<br />

I asked as to things to be avoided by me,<br />

He replied: Both the worlds-this and the other<br />

beyond.<br />

—Urdu.<br />
