paanii vich miin pyaasii
mohi.n sun-sun aavai haa.nsii
ghar me.n vastuu najar nahi aavat
ban-ban phirat udaasii
aatam gyaan jag jhuu.nThaa
kyaa mathuraa kyaa kaasii
I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty:
You do not see that the Real is in your home, and you wander from forest to forest listlessly!
Here is the truth! Go where you will, to Benares or to Mathura; if you do not find your soul, the world is unreal to you.
