DAS GANU By R. S. Gavankar

[Guest guest]

4.      Your lips utter deep wisdom like Brahman personified and at times

ascending Tamo Guna, You assume the fierce aspect of Rudra.

5.      Sometimes You play childish pranks like Shri Krishna and converting the

devotees' minds into pools of water, sport in them like the swan.

6.      If one were to take You to be a Yavana (i.e., non-Hindu), You delight in

sandal-paste; if one were to regard You to be a Hindu, you always reside in

a Masjid.

7.      If one were to take You to be a wealthy person, You beg Your livelihood.

If You were to be taken as a mere Fakir, You shame Kubera (Croesus) by Your

liberal gifts.

8.      If Your abode is taken for a Masjid, a Fire burns there perpetually in a

Dhuni from which You give Udi (holy ash) to all and sundry.

9.      From early morning Your humble devotees worship You and at mid-day they

perform Your Aarati.

10.      On all Your four sides, Your devotees gather like multitudes of

insentient things and wave the chowries and chamaras to keep You cool and

comforted.

11.      There is then a din of the sounds of horns, sanais and other musical

instruments and the gong sounds the loudest and orderlies pace to and fro

yelling out to keep order.

12.      When the Aarati is being performed, You look like Vishnu sitting on His

shining throne. In the evening, sitting near the Dhuni, You burn your

worldly likes and desires.

13.      Such Leelas of the three Gods You show every day and thus project to us

the image of Baba Sai.

14.      Though a witness to such Leelas, my mind restlessly wanders all around.

Now, I pray, You please still and steady it.

15.      I am the meanest of the mean sinners and prostrate at Your feet. Now,

Guru Raj, relieve Ganu Das of the triad of afflictions, adhyatmic,

adhidaivic and adhibhautic to which he is heir."
