If you inquire and know me, the Self within,
in that state there will be no reason for you to worry about the world.

Why do you still retain this attachment
to the mental concepts of 'I' and 'mine' when, on that day,
you had offered up all those things to me, avowing them to be mine?

When bearing the entire burden remains my responsibility,
why do you have any worries?

If you completely surrender all your responsibilities to me,

I will accept them as mine and manage them.

In order that your needless anxieties cease,
make sure that all your burdens are placed on me
through the brave act of depending totally on grace.

For the cruel disease of burning samsara to end,
the prescribed diet is to entrust all your burdens on me.

Padam lovingly said: "It will be a duty well done if you place all your duties upon me.'

Through the thought of the feet of the Guru who has reigned over devotees,
the intense darkness of ignorance [present in the] hearts of devotees will perish
and ultimate liberation will be attained here and now.

Those who have come to my feet with love,

and without delaying,

are those whose birth has been graced by God.

[Theirs is] an eminent and true life.

Just as you know that the necklace is there by feeling your neck,
seek the treasure of the Self, your real nature, within the Heart,
and know it.

From New Album 2/9/10 9:07 AM

Your search to attain me is like searching all over the world,
ceaselessly straining to find the necklace around your own neck.

Whether you retire to the forest or remain in the midst of everyday life,
attain swarupa in the home that is the Heart.

To meditate on my swarupa [true nature],
which possesses the light that is the source of life,
all that is needed is your one-pointedness of mind.

When I am shining in your Heart as 'I-I',
your own real nature,
your attempt to 'attain' me is indeed a great marvel!

Know me as the true essence of jnana that shines uninterruptedly in your Heart.
Destroy the objectifying awareness of the ego-mind that arrogantly cavorts as 'I'.

To become established as the Self within the Heart is to experience my real nature, which is pure bliss.

Padam [Bhagavan] tells and reveals:
Instead of knowing with certainty by enquiry that I myself am present as your "I",
why do you despair?
