- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutras
- I. 63. Avadhu, Maya, Taji Na Jay
- Tell me, brother, how can I renounce maya?
- When I gave up the tying of ribbons, still I tied my garment about me.
- When I gave up tying my garment, still I covered my body in its folds.
- So, when I give up passion, I see that anger remains
- And when I renounce anger, greed is with me still;
- And when greed is vanquished, pride and vainglory remain;
- When the mind is detached and casts maya away, still it clings to the letter.
- Kabir says, "Listen to me, dear friend! The true path is rarely found."
- I. 83. Canda Jhalkai Yahi Ghat Mahin
- The Moon shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it.
- The Moon is within me, and so is the Sun.
- The unstruck drum of eternity is sounded within me; but my deaf ears cannot hear it.
