Lal Ded

The Soul

The soul, like the moon,
is new, and always new again.

And I have seen the ocean
continuously creating.

Since I scoured my mind
and my body, I too, Lalla,
am new, each moment new.,br>

My teacher told me one thing,
Live in the soul.

When that was so,
I began to go naked,
and dance.

****

On the Way To God

On the way to God the difficulties

feel like being ground by a millstone,
like night coming at noon, like
lightning through the clouds.

But don't worry!
What must come, comes.
Face everything with love,
as your mind dissolves in God.

(translated by Coleman Barks)
