seventh is the Goddess of the Dark Night of Overcoming Egotism..

[Guest guest]

" If You are the Mother,

why are You stealing from my house?

I am singing Your name and

describing Your good qualities.

I know and understand completely well.

This is all Your cleverness.

You gave to me and I didn't get it.

You took away from me and I didn't play.

It's not my fault.

You give, You take, You feed, and You eat.

This is all Your action.

And this fame and welfare

and lack of fame and lack of welfare,

this delightful nectar and foul taste,

these are all Yours.

Oh Beloved, You're throwing us in the nectar

and You're making us dance.

You give us the bhava and

You take away the bhava.

Why are You doing this?

This isn't our fault, it's Yours!

You gave us our minds and

then You make them wander.

Oh Mother, You've given us the creation

and You've given us this perception.

All the sweet has been burned.

We've forgotten Her maya

and in this way we become worldly.

Ramprasad says, " You've given us this mind.

Where else are you taking it? "
