You are me, and I am You-what is the difference between us? We are like gold and the bracelet, or water and the waves.
If I did not commit any sins, O Infinite Lord,how would You have acquired the name, Patit-Pavan (Redeemer of sinners)?
You are my Master, the Inner-knower, Searcher of hearts.The servant is known by his God, and the Lord and Master is known by His servant.
Grant me the wisdom to worship and adore You with my body.
O Ravi Daas, one who understands that the Lord is equally in all, is very rare.

Famous quotes containing the words songs and/or teachings:

    When we were at school we were taught to sing the songs of the Europeans. How many of us were taught the songs of the Wanyamwezi or of the Wahehe? Many of us have learnt to dance the rumba, or the cha cha, to rock and roll and to twist and even to dance the waltz and foxtrot. But how many of us can dance, or have even heard of the gombe sugu, the mangala, nyang’umumi, kiduo, or lele mama?
    Julius K. Nyerere (b. 1922)

    We denote this primary wisdom as Intuition, whilst all later teachings are tuitions.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
