You cannot see me till you see within yourself
go deep and see yourself with your inner eye
You shall find me
I look within myself, going deeper than I ever have been
filled with faith I try to find, the divine form of the voice within
I see countless faces, and eyes as many as stars
Many different types of forms, many forms of gems and charms
Countless weapons I see, and I see countless books
garlands, clothes all are deitic, deitic are smells too
Amazing and eternal vision,
where I see the face of God
Such light is here, a hundred Suns may conjure
I see the world in all times in that one vision
I am amazed, astonished, excited seeing it all
my head bends with the weight of my knowledge
I fold my hands, to respect what I see
I see the past, the Gods and the snakes
I see the origin of time and space
I see sages too and the secrets of the body
I see the eternal unending expanse of divinity
I cannot see the beginning, middle or end
I see your crown placed well, your form great
I see what is as difficult to see as the Sun
I realize you indestructible
You are the supreme solution of the world
you are immortal, savior of truth
You are the ideal man, you are God
you have immeasurable power
The Sun and the Moon are your eyes,
the world scorches in your light
All directions between land and sky find meaning in you
all 3 worlds are scared of seeing you as I do
Some stand in fear, Gods enter you
all offerings come to you
I see all Gods, all great men in their grandeur
I see many hands, legs, eyes, bellies, thighs, arms, teeth
All are anxious on seeing this form
I too am scared to see you like this
Your teeth are fierce; your face is destruction and fire
Yet I find peace in this holy endeavor
I see all my actions within you
and all flow to you like a river
all are burnt in your fire
all fly in you like kites
You swallow them with ease
your radiance has lightened all realms
Who are you tell me I bow to you
I want to know you because I neither know your behavior nor objective
I am time and action, here to do all deeds
they will be done even if you don’t do them
So either do them yourselves and earn fame and wealth
Because I have done it all, I just ask you to become the means
All actions have been performed, you just come and win
Your vision has shown me all and has disseminated my demons
you are much greater than the cosmos themselves
you are 100 Gods together, how can I not worship you?
You are the first God, ancient man, foremost solution
You are wise, you are the creator, you are all elements
I bow to you again and again
I bow to you from all sides, you are inaction, you are everything
I apologise to ignore you for so long
I am sorry if I paid less heed to you so far
You are a part of me, you are the father of the world
you are revered you are the teacher
none will ever be as great as you are
Saying this I come out, still startled by the view I saw
I continue talking to it
I wonder all I have ever wanted
was always waiting to be found within me
No divine eye is needed to see this form
no special radiance or blessing needed
All one needs is a clear heart
and faith and courage to see all there is
You need the courage, to forgive yourself
like friends forgives friend,
like father forgives son
like God forgives devotee
There is no place for forgiveness between friend and friend,
father and son, God and devotee
The life of these relations is love, faith and worship

The one who is my devotee, who thinks of me and keeps me in his mind
one who is obsessed by me and who worships me with all his faith
he is the ideal Yogi
So devotion to me is the best, my devotees are never confused by the world
This world is a Fig free,
whose roots are towards the sky and branches towards the ground
Knowledge is the leaves of this tree
One who knows this also knows the meaning of knowledge
This tree has branches everywhere
which have been provided for by all 3 qualities of nature
Light, fire and darkness
These roots are spread in human society in great depth
it is impossible to realize this tree in this world
because no one can see where is the beginning, middle and root of this tree
But man can cut this tree with the axe of renunciation
and attain the highest place from where he won’t have to return again
Renunciation is the name of the abandonment of selfishness
so if you wish to think, then think of me
if you want to worship then worship me
dedicate yourself to me
take refuge in me
I’ll free you of all sins
Think of me, be my devotee; and bow to me
If you do so then I promise, you will attain me in all means
Renounce all faiths, and come to me
I will free you from all sins
so do not feel sorrow
I am the core symbol and supreme aim
of action, Yog, devotion and knowledge
so act like a Yogi and act selflessly
Do not worry, believe in me
Take responsibility, and fight
I am not a man who can surrender
I do not like words of refuge
Perhaps, I do not believe in what I hear
but I know, this is my inner voice
asking me to believe in it
to surrender myself to myself
To dedicate all my actions to myself
and to act in inaction
Perhaps what this voice says is not true
but it gives me strength
It does not help me shed my fears
but it gives me the strength to face them
And so, I open my eyes in resolve
and decide to act with my eyes fixed on my target
I would like to tell you my tale in greater detail
of which demon I slayed first
these demons too, look eager to attack
for this is their duty, too which they cannot forgo
I wonder if they have listened to my voice too
but they have not, this was knowledge to a chosen few
My demons now look hesitant to attack
as if they wish me to spill blood first
but I would not allow that to happen
for this is what is the Yog of knowledge
This war is no longer between me and my dilemmas
it’s between right and wrong
justice and injustice, inaction and bad action
I no longer wish to run away,
though my demons do seem to have those desires
yet they won’t, because facing me is their chosen path of action
It is my final battle with my confusions
my decisive battle
I no longer care for causalities or hearts broken
for I am but a messenger of righteousness
even if countless hearts are broken, I shall stand if I am just
and I shall take upon myself all harm which comes to me in my action
and this, is the only ethics correct
But let’s leave that for another day
My demons seem scared, and I know the result of my battle
so my narration would not last too long
For the problems have been resolved
so no need for any more dialogue
The advice has not ended,
and to tell you is my duty
so if you wish to leave me you may,
but I ask a bit more time from you to stay
I ask you to look within yourselves and try to find your inner voice
you shall be fortunate to experience this feeling, to gain this knowledge
only great times and great people bring this knowledge
Be it an ancient God and his disciple in between of a battlefield
or be it you and your soul in the modern day
It is your fortune, to gain such priceless instruction
If you can search within yourself and find a single word from your soul
then it shall be worth all fruits of all your endeavors
You live in great times, when mankind has been given this knowledge
you are lucky to be born human, to read this path to salvation
As time proceeds, your time goes by
use it well, life is too precious to be wasted
And with these words, I pull my chariot of words back
leaving you in your crossroads and your battlefield
to fight your demons, to deal with your confusion
I give to you, the words of Vishwakriti
