ప్రకృతి మాయలచేత బంధింపబడుటచేనేనె బ్రహ్మంబను నెఱుక పోయెపంచేంద్రియంబుల వంచింపబడుటచేజీవుడే దేవుడన్ తెలివి పోయెమమతాద్యహంకార మాయలో బడుటచేఏకత్వ భావంబు లేకపోయెదేహాభిమానంబు మోహానబడుటచేఆత్మదర్శనముపై నాశపోయెబ్రహ్మలో నీవు నీలోన బ్రహ్మయుండనీకు బ్రహ్మకు భేదము లేకపోయెనేనె బ్రహ్మమనుటను యిప్పుడెరుగుసాయి ప్రేమబోధల గ్రోలి హాయిమీర.

In plain words

Because of being bound by the Māyā of Prakṛti, the awareness 'I am Brahman' was lost; because of being deceived by the five senses, the understanding that the jīva itself is God was lost; because of falling into the Māyā of 'mine' and Ahaṅkāra, the feeling of oneness was gone; because of falling into the delusion of attachment to the body, the longing for the vision of the Ātma was gone. While you are in Brahman and Brahman is in you, there is no difference between you and Brahman; know now that 'I am Brahman', drinking in Sāi's teachings of Prema to your heart's content.
