Analysis of The Divine Mandate .



Secretly with care ,
Bear the boon of spiritual treasure ,
In the inner most chamber of your heart ,
And remain conscious and alert ,
So that you never remain apart ,
From that tranquil image of peace ,
In your mundane life the impossible bliss .

Your long preservation of purity ,
Your aching widow cry ,
Your stern austerity in the silence of retreat ,
Your complete self submission to His will ,
Have brought you the grace .

Be Love ,and spread love ,
As the leaves and roots of banyan tree ,
Go abreast dauntless and free ,
And with the bestowed sword of knowledge ,
Cut off the shackles of bondage of your neighbors ,
Awake and inspire , move and impel .
Your Lord's mandate is with you ,
And the mandate   itself would do .
You the beloved servan,t have nothing but serve .
