Mind, why art thou so anxious? Utter KÄlÄ«'s name,

and sit in meditation. From all this pomp of worship

the mind grows proud. Worship her in secret, that

none may know. What is thy gain from images of

metal, stone or earth?

 

Fashion her image with the stuff of mind, and set it

on the lotus-throne of your heart. Parched rice and

plantains, ah! how vainly do you offer these! Feed

her with the nectar of devotion, and satisfy your own

mind.

 

Why seek to illumine her with lamp and lantern and

candle? Light the jewelled lamp of the mind, let it

flash its lustre day and night.

 

Why do you bring sheep and goats and buffaloes for

sacrifice? Saying 'Victory to KÄlÄ«,' 'Victory to

KÄlÄ«,' sacrifice the Six Passions.

 

PrasÄd says: What need is there of drums and

tomtoms? Saying, 'Victory to KÄlÄ«,' clap your hands

and lay your mind at her Feet.
