This bhajan translation was the combined efforts of Narad Romaguera and Leela using the book Streams of Love as a guide. Recently Leela changed the first verse after the influence of Amrit Desai.

The Highest Goal

If the faults of others is all you see

Holding them in your heart constantly.

Your own heart will become soiled with impurity

And you won't perceive the grace of God in thee . . .

 

So . . . . . . . .seeking to be just like the honey bee

Do not leave the pretty flowers' company:

May good people always your companions be.

Don't keep friends that wallow in the mud and dirt,

Crawling like a bumbling black bug so ugly:

Do not be distracted by the wrong you see . . . . . . .

 

So . . . . . . . think of all the qualities of the saintly:

As pure as the pearls, they shine with clarity;

Like a swan feed on this opportunity.

Don't join arms with those who act evil and cruel,

Squirming on the ground so crudely,

Living in the dungheap very happily. . . . . . . . . . . .

 

So . . . . . . . if you seek the faults of all with impunity,

You will never quite see your own vanity

And your faults will thus remain persistingly.

The many-curved camel to the dog declares:

"What a curious thing you have little doggy

You have 'one' curve on your tail, naughty! naughty!" . . . .

 

So . . . . . . . .do not neglect satsanga regularly

Or your dirty habits will not cease to be

And the Sadaguru's grace won't reach to thee.

"Kripalu" says closeness with your Guruji

Will remove from your eyes all disharmony

And the Lord Himself you'll soon behold indeed . . . .
