ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ THE POEMS OF LALLA OF KASHMIR JK/NKK 40

JK/NKK 40
mu:D zö:nith tà pöSith ôn,
zôr tà kôl Srutàvôn zaD rupy a:s     |
yus yuth vaniy tas tyuth bol,
suy chuy tattvavidas abya:s     ||

Though you know,
act the fool,
seeing, be as one
who is blind.
Hearing and speaking,
be as one who
is deaf and dumb.
Whatever they tell you,
say the same.
This is the practice
of one who knows
the great truths.

Note: The word "tattvavidas," in the last line, literally means "one who knows the tattvas." The tattvas are the elemental principles upon which the cosmos is based.

ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ
