Remembrance

Repeat the Name of God and forget Him not.
Fulfil the purpose of your birth
  by practising concentration.
Be steadfast in the remembrance of God,
Practise meditation with love
  and sing the glory of God.
The human body is the door to salvation.
Repeat the Name of God, the Creator of the universe.
So long as a dreadful disease has not come,
So long as death has not consumed your body,
So long as the Sound has not been withdrawn,
Render service to the Lord.
People remember not God while the opportunity exists.
When life is gone, none can remember.
So long as one lives, he sleeps; but later on, he repents.
The servant is engaged in the service of the Lord.
He alone succeeds who is wakeful.
For the devoted disciple of the Guru,
Darkness and delusion are dispelled.
He reverts not and is well set on the path.
Look thoughtfully and understand, O mind;
You shall not find such an opportunity again.
Having come to the world,
  it is up to you to win or lose.
I have explained this to you in so many ways,
  again and again, says Dadu.
_{Dadu, The Compassionate Mystic}
