English Translation:
1. The heavenly blissful divinity that is omnipotent and omnipresent is showing us his wondrous games. My dear saintly friends, he is not very far away. He is very much around! What is needed is just contemplation on him with pure mind.

2. A method to realize his divine essence is described in the Vedas, Purana, Bhagwat Geeta, but, leaving that apart a man runs around thoughtlessly in the search of god, is nothing but foolhardiness.

This reminds us of a couplet from a poem of Akha Bhagat, an eminent Gujarati poet,

“એક મૂરખને એવી ટેવ, પથ્થર એટલા પૂજે દેવ;
પાણી દેખી કરે સ્નાન, તુલસી દેખી તોડે પાન;
તે તો અખા બહુ ઉત્પાત, ઘણા પરમેશ્વર એ ક્યાંની વાત?”

(A dumb believer in god worships every rock that he sees and takes a dip in every pond or river he comes across. Wherever he finds a Basil plant, he would pluck a leaf and chew. Akha exasperatedly asks, why so much restlessness? How absurd it is to talk of several gods!)

3. The soul, which incessantly flows out akin to flood waters divinely vibrates as if emanating in the form of self-originating sound heard by the yogis or mystics, is omnipotent, pure and brightly illuminated.

4. Your master is within you and his voice echoes from within you. When one has a good fortune of meeting a saintly Guru, the actual meaning of spiritual enlightenment is realized. This realization is rumbling from within. Listen to it.

5. Describing the image of the Supreme Almighty, Kabir says, he is the creator and a source of this universe. The one who has realized the divine realization understands true essence of the Supreme Almighty.
