An ant (Kundalini) flew to the sky and swallowed the sun

Another wonder – a barren woman had a son.

A scorpion went to the underworld

And the Shesh Nag (thousand-headed serpent) fell at its feet.

A fly gave birh to a kite (bird)

Having seen it all, Mukta smiled.

Do you desire self-realization?

Then do not blindly follow others.

Search for the truth in your own self.

There lies wisdom.

~~~

He alone is a saint who is possessed of compassion and forgiveness and in whose heart neither greed nor egotism find a place.

There are people who are truly renouncers.

They alone can be happy in this and the next world.


Muktabai (1279-1297)
