In plain words
Can you not say Śiva, Śiva, Śiva, Śiva, O jīva? Can you not shake off all your cares and live? Can you not behold Śiva Sāī, the Lord, O jīva? Can you not take up true Viveka, O jīva? Possessed, you roamed the whole world; O mind! Have you no shame at all? Hankering after the pleasures of the earth, what is left for your keeping? ‖Śiva‖ To while away the time, for the village gossip you are ready, with great eagerness; when Sai's sweet talk is told so lovingly, do you not stay unwilling, O ears! ‖Śiva‖ Leaving your work, the cinemas, again and again you go and go and look, and are never satisfied; to stand for a moment in God's presence, O eyes! Is it so very hard? ‖Śiva‖ Wicked, disgusting talk with everyone you thought it an honour to speak; to speak the name of the butter thief, O tongue! Is that a disgrace? ‖Śiva‖ Like a dog with nothing to do, you run about panting and roam; to stand for a moment in good company, is it not possible, O feet! ‖Śiva‖ To do whatever bad deeds you please, did that Īśvara create you? Take hold of yourselves, O hands! Knowing it even now, and quickly come to do Hari's pūjā. ‖Śiva‖ What is the fruit of singing songs? What is the glory of learning good words? If you went straight on the path of the elders, sukhamola, the word, jātuvugā. ‖Śiva‖ Sundara Sai, found so easily, to slight Him, jātuvugā; bowing again and again to many images, will you live in fear and devotion! ‖Śiva‖
