All the intuitives met and practiced intuitive meditation.
All the appraisers met and made the appraisal.
The spiritual teachers, the teachers of meditation, and the teachers of teachers
-they cannot describe even an iota of Your Greatness. ||2||
All Truth, all austere discipline, all goodness,
all the great miraculous spiritual powers of the iddhas
-without You, no one has attained such powers.
They are received only by Your Grace. !o one can bloc" them or stop their flow. ||#||
$hat can the poor helpless creatures do%
Your &raises are overflowing with Your Treasures.
Those, unto whom You give-how can they thin" of any other%
' !ana", the True 'ne embellishes and e(alts. ||)||2||
Aasaa, *irst +ehl,
-hanting it, . live/ forgetting it, . die.
.t is so difficult to chant the True !ame.
.f someone feels hunger for the True !ame,
that hunger shall consume his pain. ||0||
1ow can . forget 1im, ' my mother%
True is the +aster, True is 1is !ame. ||0||&ause||
Trying to describe even an iota of the Greatness of the True !ame,
people have grown weary, but they have not been able to evaluate it.
2ven if everyone were to gather together and spea" of 1im,
1e would not become any greater or any lesser. ||2||
That 3ord does not die/ there is no reason to mourn.
1e continues to give, and 1is &rovisions never run short.
This 4irtue is 1is alone/ there is no other li"e 1im.
There never has been, and there never will be. ||#||
As Great as You Yourself are, ' 3ord, so Great are Your Gifts.
