‘If by bathing daily God could be realised
Sooner would I be a whale in the deep;
If by eating roots and fruits He could be known
Gladly would I choose to be a goat;
If the counting of rosaries uncovered Him
I would say my prayers on mammoth beads;
If bowing before stone images unveiled Him
A flinty mountain I would humbly worship;
If by drinking milk the Lord could be imbibed
Many calves and children would know Him
If abandoning ones wife would summon God
Would not thousands be eunuchs?
Mirabai knows to find the Divine One
The only indispensable is Love’
A song composed by Mirabai, translated in the book ‘Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramhansa Yogananda’
