Wayward Progeny Of A Lewd Whore Poem by Narsinh Mehta

Wayward progeny of a lewd whore,
What teaching will bring you to your senses?
Blind teacher and on the top of that, a deaf disciple,
How on earth can they grasp the knowledge ofbr ahman?
Wayward progeny of a lewd whore,
What teaching will bring you to your senses?

Not knowing that one's self is the completebr ahman,
He wanders around worshipping others,
He maintains pleasures of dreams are true,
And he bickers and praises sensuality.
Wayward progeny of a lewd whore,
What teaching will bring you to your senses?

He neither knows the Lord asni rguna,
nor has he seen face of Hissaguna form;
He worships the dead matter, despises the living!
He is ignorant and lost in the feeling of duality.
Wayward progeny of a lewd whore,
What teaching will bring you to your senses?

A true disciple, on the other hand, comes from a true mysticguru, He alone knows the secret of thebr ahman,
He knows his Lord is close and not distinct from him,
Narsinh remains close to such a person.
Wayward progeny of a lewd whore,
What teaching will bring you to your senses?
