Manache Shlok by Saint Ramadas 140: Mistaking the Spirit for Matter, the Spirit eludes the creature, Misery the body suffers, for bondage is its chief feature. Fails the inspiration to free the mind of its bonds, The ancient Truth escapes it, when to the ego it rebounds.
Manache Shlok 141: Says this servant of Rama, with faith serve the sage, Bow down at the feet in reverence, no matter what the age; With your sight blinded by ignorance, that wisdom is hard to grasp, The sage alone can restore the sight, releasing you from the ego’s clasp.
Manache Shlok 169: Ask the sages what is endless and infinite, Uproot the ego to the very last bit; Dwell on the essence that transcends words, Shrink to nothingness the thought of the body, That the mind may the spirit gird.
Manache Shlok 171: Truly the essence seems to hide, when one views the world even with eyes wide; Intangible it is, and attributeless too, it escapes even imagination, egotism it cannot woo.
