Song 112

In plain words

Come, all of you, to sing 'Sai, Sai, Sai Rāma' with all speed! Calling 'O Sai Rāma' with overflowing Prema, you will be redeemed; rise up! (Sai…) Come: He sets right the human mind that is like a dog's tail; trusting Sai with a single mind, remember Him well. (Sai…) Hold firmly in your mind that birth and death alone are the two banks of life; do not go about sunk in mere delusions, doing no work of any kind. (Sai…) Meeting and parting are the stream of time; give up your cravings and see; karma yoga is what matters most in life; walk in Dharma and live by it. (Sai…) Hold that the remembrance of the Name is the chief learning, and serve it with discipline; see that all the rest, the hollow learnings, are pushed aside. (Sai…) If all one's wishes do not bear fruit, do not then say there is no need of God; if you live as one who has won His grace, what lack will there be in the fruits of your wishes? (Sai…) The man too poor for a meal and the millionaire alike go to the burning ground; give up the ways of the monkey and behold this form of the Supreme Light. (Sai…) Give up now the song that coarseness is the beauty of Prakṛti; hold it a rule in your mind that the sufferings of others are like your own. (Sai…) Knowing the secret that the Dharma of man is the command of Mādhava, worship Him; pray to Him again and again in your heart as the Sai Lord, beloved of all people. (Sai…) Do not be troubled on the world's account; serve the Lord of the world; without abandoning the Dharma of varṇa and āśrama, achieve it with patience. (Sai…) Without yielding to the mind and talking further, practise the remembrance of Mādhava; for those who know the secret, in the very next moment, the mind itself becomes their guru. (Sai…) Do not say you have not strength enough for Bhakti, Jñāna and Vairāgya; joined with the remembrance of the Name, they are only good conduct, reverence and faith. (Sai…) Darkness and light, hardship and happiness, are the fruit of the karma done; give up the coarseness that does not trust well and weeps in misfortune. (Sai…) Think of caste, morals, creeds, scriptures and all as the līlās of God; whatever sorrows He may give, do not forget; think 'Sai Rāma'. (Sai…) Count him a man who, being born a man, thinks of the Paramātma; regard the man who says he wants no Name of the Lord as a beast in human form. (Sai…) Think 'Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, Hari, Govinda, Nārāyaṇa, Śiva'; knowing all names are the Paramātma's, put away difference and worship. (Sai…) Regard all creation as the offspring of the Lord, and yourselves as His devotees; all devotees, foster feelings of Prema as sisters and brothers. (Sai…) Prema is God, God is Prema: so foster the principle of Prema; among the kinds of Prema, hold fast to desireless Prema and attain it. (Sai…) When the Name 'Sai Rāma' is thought of, all sorrows come to an end; for those who serve with discipline, unshaken steadiness becomes established. (Sai…) Even if you do no deeds of merit, do not set your mind on sins; worse than all sins is the slandering of others. (Sai…) Those who learn such qualities gain happiness here and hereafter; those who sing bhajans of 'Sai Rāma' gain all comforts. (Sai…) Satya, Dharma, Śānti and Prema are the road to the highest state; it is best to roll up lust, anger and hatred and tuck them away in the eaves. (Sai…) No feeling of difference toward the poor and lowly is there in Sai's heart; never letting go of the feet of the Dweller of Parthi, sing with these words. (Sai…)
