If by bathing daily God could be realized
Sooner would i be a whale in the deep;
If by eating roots and fruits He could be known
Gladly would i choose the form of a goat;
If the counting of rosaries uncovered Him
I would say my prayers on mammoth beads;
If bowing before stone images unveiled Him
A flinty mountain i would humbly worship;
If by drinking milk the Lord could be imbibed
Many calves and children would know Him;
If abandoning one's wife could summon God
Would not thousands be eunuchs?
Mirabai knows that to find the Divine One
The only indespensable is Love.
Mirabai
