Your servants serve You with love; these mortals are attached to Your taste. Those mortals are attached to Your taste, who are blessed with the Ambrosial Name. Those who are attuned to Your Name prosper more and more, day by day. Some do not practice good deeds or live righteously; they do not practice self-discipline, and they do not realize the One.

Enemies and pain shall never touch him, and sin shall never come close to him. I am forever a sacrifice to the One Lord, and Your Name. || 4 || Throughout the ages, Your devotees sing Your Praises, O Lord Master, at Your Door. They meditate on the One True Lord. They meditate on the True Lord, when they enshrine Him in their minds. Doubt and delusion are Your making; w
