The Name alone is the Truth,
O Ravidas, It was true in the beginning and
shall remain true in the end. It destroyeth all
sins and sufferings, and is, indeed, the mine of
all true Bliss.

Steeped in meditation with one-pointed
attention, practice devotion to God, O Ravidas.
Let the automatic repetition be continued within,
reverberating Sat Naam.

When surat merges into the Shabda,
and becomes one with It, then one obtains the
Supreme Bliss. The lamp burns inside, O
Ravidas, and Divine Bliss arises within.
