Mystic Verse of Sant Tulsi Das 

Based on a Translation by Swami Swarupanand Baba (of Maharshi Mehi Ashram, Sant Mat Tradition of India)


रैन का भूषण इंदु है दिवस का भूषण भान ।

दास को भूषण भक्ति है भक्ति को भूषण ज्ञान ||

ज्ञान को भूषण ध्यान है ध्यान को भूषण त्याग |

त्याग को भूषण शांति पद तुलसी अमल अदाग||

[वैराग्य संदीपनी -- गो० तुलसीदास ]

"The beauty of night is the moon, and of the day is the sun. Likewise, the beauty of the devotee (bhakta) is love (bhakti). The shining (beauty) of devotion is real knowledge, and it is more beautiful when done with meditation. Meditation is most genuine or true when all desires have departed. There is no attachment to material things. It is perfectly bright when there is perfect peace. There is absolute rest, steadiness, a state of stillness -- the Soundless state. It is absolutely pure and exquisite (ethereal)."
