In every mind You | In every mind You made Your abode; | ||
Your place is in every home. | Your place is in every home. | ||
You are the passion of every heart; | You are the passion of every heart; | ||
Other than You there is nothing more. | Other than You there is nothing more. | ||
We are but a tiny candle flame; | |||
We get our fire only from You. | |||
Our candlelight is just Your blaze; | |||
We carry on our brow its soot.{{#tag:ref|This could signify the impurities that attach to us. Alternately, in some Hindu traditions, a black [[:wikipedia:Tilak|''tilak'']] or [[:wikipedia:Bindi (decoration)|''bindi'']] signifies purification and the warding off of evil.|group="nb"}} | |||
You exist, so all exist; | You exist, so all exist; | ||
We find You in the public midst. | |||
Tenderness and affection, love and compassion, | Tenderness and affection, love and compassion, | ||
Knowledge and comprehension... all that | Knowledge and comprehension... all that we attain, | ||
By Your grace, everything occurs... | By Your grace, everything occurs... | ||
Under Your umbrage, | Under Your umbrage, we make headway. | ||
Into | Into our heart of hearts, come regally; | ||
We want to hold You near. | |||
