752
When I pray,I feel that I am a beggar
Looking at a rich man’s house.
Perhaps, out of compassion,
The rich man will give me alms.
When I meditate,
I feel that I am waiting for
My dearest friend
To do me a special favour.
Since we have established our oneness,
My Beloved Friend will definitely
Do the needful.
