Tip of the day:  When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear. - Mark Twain 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only that which is actually tasted is food
Anything else reads as a fairy tale should

Gyan and dhyan are conceptual
Different from what is experienced as actual

If gyan is facilitated only by a guru
That shall we do with your Essence True?

Theoretical Karma, Gyan, Bhakt, Raj yog
Will one day offer you as the ultimate bhog

Agar mei hasti ko mitauN
To khud ko pane ke liye kya sadhan lauN?

Martaba na chahuN, chauN khud ko Aap
Kya milna mujh ko kisi aur Nam ke Jaap?

Tajaraba, anu-bhava, experience
Not book read, academic expedience.

Arya.

Last two couplets and some words translated:

If I were to obliterate my I
Then what should I use to reach it by?

I don't want station, I want Me simple and plain
What will I gain chanting someone else's Name?

martaba - station, worldly or spiritual, Arabic usage
tajaraba - experience , here personal, Arabic - Persian usage

Nam - Shabad of Sikhs, Nam-ucchara of Hindus,
Word in a sense of Christians, Bol in a sense of Sufis.
Theoretically the incessant chanting causes laya, merger
in the one who is so Named, which is god or Guru.
