Sohbet of the Week (15 - 26)

Sufi Poems – Mirabai - 46

Mirabai (1498-1546) was an Indian mystic and poetess.

Her very personalized ecstatic songs of love, praise and lamentation have remained alive through the centuries and are still recited and sung by Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims and Christians alike on the Indian subcontinent today.

Drink the Nectar

 

Drink the nectar of the Divine Name, O human!

Drink the nectar of the Divine Name!

 

Leave the bad company,

always sit among righteous company.

Hearken to the mention of God for your own good.

 

Concupiscence, anger, pride, greed, attachment:

wash these out of your consciousness.

 

Mira's Lord is the Mountain-Holder,

the suave lover.

Soak yourself in the dye of His colour.

Heartily,

Puran
