The Final Word

Only the Master Is Truly Yours

None of your companions are truly your well-wishers,
  you are surrounded by thieves and you are fast asleep.
Wake up to love in the company of the Saints,
  then let the Master dye you
  in a colour beyond all colours –
  that of the purity of Nam.
Wealth and property will not help you,
  at one stroke you will have to leave it all behind.
Ahead lies deep, dark night
  so strive to reach your goal while it is still day.
Once lost, this body is hard to come by again,
  you will be lost in the wilderness of transmigration.

Serve the Master, please him with your service;
  come on, my friend, adopt this way of life.
Only the Master is truly yours,
  hold this thought firmly in your mind.
Do not get entangled
  in the web of this world, my friend,
  but stay absorbed in meditation day and night.
Follow the advice of the Sadh Guru
  and live in the world with a sense of detachment.
Abandon your devious ways and your cleverness,
  why let yourself sink so low?

Keep your mind in simran, serve your Master
  and rise today to the sky.
Tomorrow you may fall into Kal’s hands
  and burn in the fires of hell.
Heed my words now, do not delay,
  for who knows what might happen next?
Radha Soami explains this so you understand;
  accept his message and let it be the last word.
