Becoming everything, becoming the sacred truth,
O love that stands eternal!
Both love and God

Oh, becoming everything, becoming the sacred truth,
O love that stands eternal!
Both love and God
are pure love overflowing.
Love offered to a stone idol
turns into devotion.
Love shining through the eyes
lives on as inner strength.
Understand this, O mind; understanding brings good.
Sa ga sa sa, ni sa ni ni, pa ni pa pa, ma pa ma ma
Ga ma ga ga, sa ga sa sa, ga ma pa ni
Fear will vanish, and victory will be everywhere!
Oh, becoming everything, becoming the sacred truth,
O love that stands eternal!
Both love and God
are pure love overflowing.

Sound was born from open space,
sacred truth was born from light,
the voice was born from language,
and everything was born from Him.
A garden of flowers blooming across my heart—
that was His gift to me.
Why then has autumn, shedding its leaves,
arrived here now?
In everything and anything,
there is always some good—
accept this truth, my dear one.
If you believe in your thoughts
that it will surely happen,
a trusting heart is already on its way.
Understand this, O mind; understanding brings good.
Sa ga sa sa, ni sa ni ni, pa ni pa pa, ma pa ma ma
Ga ma ga ga, sa ga sa sa, ga ma pa ni
Fear will vanish, and victory will be everywhere!
Thaam thakkida thaam

Oh, becoming everything, becoming the sacred truth,
O love that stands eternal!
Both love and God
are pure love overflowing.

……………………………………
What harm can the passing days do now?
What power do cruel rules and locks hold?
Come running with faith, it will come to pass;
from now on, your sorrow will fade away.
In all my thoughts and dreams,
my heart dwells on him.
Whatever the truth may be,
why am I blamed every single day?
The way your heart
truly feels and believes,
so shall it happen—this is the truth!
As your heart melts with devotion
and your body moves forward,
the wisdom of the sun will come to help you.
Understand this, O mind; understanding brings good.
Sa ga sa sa, ni sa ni ni, pa ni pa pa, ma pa ma ma
Ga ma ga ga, sa ga sa sa, ga ma pa ni
Fear will vanish, and victory will be everywhere!
