The Songs of Dayabai

by Daya
It is as yet untranslated being still in the original Hindi...perhaps
the very mentioning will create the situation for their being
translated...

Remembering the divine,
The serpent of time and the creepers of sorrow
Do not bother you.
Hence, embrace the divine, says Daya,
Leave the net of the world behind.
Speak not to those who have no interest
In remembering the divine.
Open your heart to those
Who are in love with the divine.
The moment you utter the divine’s name,
All your sins fall away.
O man, make the remembrance of the divine
A refrain in your heart.
Without this remembrance,
With only man, man, man in your mind,
In wretchedness will you weep and wail.
In the grip of maya,
Your mind will never be still.
