The Mirror of the Sky: Songs of the Bauls of Bengal, Translated by Deben Bhattacharya

On the other shore
Of the ocean
Of one's own self,
Quivers a drop of fluid--
As the origin of all.
But who can cross the seas
To reach it?

The root of all
Is based in you.
Explore the base
To reach the essence....
