(25). Dhadlia. Below and above there is a settlement.

In the nether and upper regions there is dwelling.

Having given up what is below, when one has come to what is above:

Then, what is above, is united with what is below, happiness is obtained.'

(26). JVand. Night and day (I am) looking at a place.

(My) eyes looking (at it) have become red.

When looking on and looking on I reach the place:

(27). Papa. The boundless one is not obtained.

(Who) enters into intimacy with the highest light:

Eeligious demerit and merit, both he discards.

(28). Phaphd. A fruit is produced without blossoms.

He does not fall into duality, he reflects on the mouthful.

A mouthful of that fruit rends all bodies.^

(Who) becomes a servant, takes up service.

Who becomes a prisoner, gets knowledge of the prison.

Now fear is broken and confidence is come.

Who (was considered as being outside), he is (now) known (as being) inside.

The separated king is recognized (as one and the same with me).

(31). Mama. (By whom) the root is seized, he reconciles (his) mind.

(Who) becomes acquainted with (these) secrets, he knows (his) mind.

May no one keep back (his) mind from meeting (with its root)!

By being immersed (in him) he obtains that True one.

(32). Mama. The matter is with (one's) mind; by subduing the mind perfection is obtained.

Kabir says: from the mind the mind does not obtain any desire.

This mind is the life of the five elements.

If one taking this mind remain absorbed in divine contemplation:

Then he relates the things of the three worlds.

(34). Yaya. If one knows (the truth), he destroys folly, having subdued (his) body, he sings.
