Be Tranquil

See all women as your mother,
 see the wealth of others as stones.
Be deaf to those who slander you
  and blind to the jealousy of others.
With such strength of mind
  you’ll reach your real home.
Those who help others
  come to know compassion –
  be happy in the happiness of others
  if you want to find heaven within.
Feel no pride in your body,
  feel weary of all your ambitions –
  simply feel tranquil.
Love being with mystics,
  love to sing your love of the Name.
Drop the discords of family
  and know that God lives in all –
  day and night keep the feeling
  that the Lord lives in everyone.
I’ve given you the key
  to enlightenment, Namdev –
  don’t worry, you know how to swim.
