Light into Light

When I see him, I sing his praises,
  and I, his humble servant, become patient.
Meeting the true guru divine,
  I merge into the current of Sound.
Where the dazzling white light is seen,
  there the unstruck sound of Shabd resounds.
One’s light merges in the Light –
  by the grace of the guru, I know this.
Jewels in the treasure chamber of the heart
  glitter and flash like lightning.
The Lord is near, not far –
  he permeates and pervades my soul.
Where the light of the undying sun shines,
  the light of burning lamps seems as nothing –
  by the grace of the guru, I know this.
The servant Namdev is absorbed in the celestial Lord.
