Song 83

In plain words

Open your eyes and see, brother, this Sāi Deva; open your eyes and see, brother. Open your eyes and see, brother; know the secret that this is Sāi Deva, brother; cast off the feeling that He is a mortal, your equal, brother. All that the elders of old reckoned and all the small things are a feast here; the great discernment that is in the frame of every living being, brother. Open your eyes and see, brother, this Sāi Deva; open your eyes and see, brother. There is no speaking of one place where He is, brother; this Sāi Deva, reckon as you will, is everywhere, brother; it is only a name, that He was in Shirdi before and is in Parti today; He walks within the very eyes of the devotees who hold Him in thought, brother. Open your eyes and see, brother, this Sāi Deva; open your eyes and see, brother. He is able to show every form, brother, this Sāi Deva; there is no name in which He does not shine, brother; He makes manifest the forms of the Trimūrti, He shows all the Avatāras; the boundless Supreme beyond the beyond has Himself become all, brother. Open your eyes and see, brother, this Sāi Deva; open your eyes and see, brother. He was born as if from an anthill, this Sāi Deva; He had to take hold of Puṭṭaparti, brother; 'I will bring you to the shore', He says, brother; holding the sturdy boats of boons, see, wearing silk robes, the yogī of the anthill who moves among His devotees. Open your eyes and see, brother, this Sāi Deva; open your eyes and see, brother. No screen will get Him in its grasp, brother, this Sāi Deva; the steadfast alone track Him down, brother; far though you be, He binds you; near though you be, He binds you; when all is spent He will not push you away; of His own wish He is Himself caught. Open your eyes and see, brother, this Sāi Deva; open your eyes and see, brother. He is no man of empty words, brother, this Sāi Deva; He does not go gazing at toy dolls, brother. To hold His little foot firmly in the mind and keep it there, however hard it be: though His secret is there, without knowing the secret of the One whose form is Satya, the shore is not found. Open your eyes and see, brother, this Sāi Deva; open your eyes and see, brother. There is no one who trusted this Sāi Deva and came to ruin, brother; do not let Him slip from a heart at rest, brother. who never fails those who trust Him, Nārāyaṇa in ready coin: agree, and worship Him, Rāma, ever praised and ever new. Open your eyes and see, brother, this Sāi Deva; open your eyes and see, brother.
