RELIGIOUS SECTS OF THE HINDUS. 235 



HYMN. 



Love, and fix thy whole heart upon Him — 



The world is bound to thee by prosperity — 



No one is another's. 



Whilst prosperity endures many will come, 



And sit with thee and surround thee ; 



But in adversity they will fly, 



And not one will be near thee. 



The woman of the house who loves thee, 



And is ever in thy bosom ; 



When the spirit quits the body, 



Will fly with alarm from the dead. 



Such is the way of the world, 



With all on which we place affection ; 



Do thou, Nanah, at thy last hour, 



Rely alone upon Hari. 



Priest as before. 

 Meditating on the Saheb of the Book, &c. 



People as before. 

 Wah Guru, Sfc. 



HYMN. 



My holy teacher is he who teaches clemency — 

 The heart is awake within : who seeks may find. 

 Wonderful is that rosary, every bead of which is the breath. 

 Lying apart in' its arbour, it knows what cometh to pass — 

 The Sage is he who is merciful ;— the merciless is a butcher. 

 Thou wieldest the knife and regardlessly exclaimest — 

 What is a goat, what is a cow, what are animals ? 

 But the Saheb declares that the blood of all is the same. 

 Saints, Prophets, and Seers, have all passed in death. 

 Nuna/c, destroy not life for the preservation of the body.
