Who and what Thou art,

What need have I to know:

Thou alone art my God:

Thy Grace in my life

Forever has been written in golden letters.

Supreme Love!

How great Thou art.

The real identity Thou mayst not reveal.

I accepted Thee in dream of night.

Thee alone I greet at the dawn of life.

I see Thee as the Formless One,

As the Infinite in Thy Universal Self-form.

O my Guru, O Guru of the world,

What kind of game art Thou playing

Inside the world-room? ```
