My Master Taught Me A Lesson Poem by Sultan Bahu

My Master taught me a lesson:
'Any moment you are negligent in remembrance of God is a moment spent in denial of God.'

These words opened my eyes to reality,
And I fixed my attention on the Lord.

I then placed my soul in his protection-
Such was the love I cultivated in my heart.

Having thus bequeathed my soul to him, I died before death - to live in him.
Only then did I attain the goal of life, O Bahu!
