Each such hollow (being)

Is given a separate and different name and appearance;

That is how in this world, They are identified.

 

 

Therefore, to distinguish that spirit

In terms of " you and me " is not proper;

Because. as there is no duality

That itself is most surely,

the Spirit

 

 

And, since the Spirit

Truly encompasses the whole world,

Then, the " you and me " the duality concept,

How can it possibly be

entertained?

 

 

Water latent in the clouds

Is all the same;

But when it descends upon the earth,

It assumes different forms4

 

4.Examples brooks river

springs, lakes etc.

 

That which falls in the Godavari bed

Is known as the (sacred) River Godavari;

That which falls into a well

Does not have the same worthliness of

prestige.

 

 

Saints are the river Godavari,

And, you are the water in it

We are the puddles , wells and lakes;

That is the difference between us.

 

 

For the fulfillments of our lives

We must surrender to you,

Always, with folded hands,

Because you are the embodiments of

piety.

 

 

It is due to its water -bed

That the waters of Godavari have become holy;

Considered merly as water,

I's the same everywhere

everywhere.

 

 

The bed of Godavari

That is considered as truly sacred,

Owes all its sanctity

To the quality of the land through which it flows

 

 

The water latent in the clouds

Does not alter that part of the earth on which it falls;

Yet, that very part of the earth

Is called Godavari (or pure) by the scholars

of the scared books.
