O man! why are you disappointed? The glorious and beautiful Lord of illusion shall care for you.(5)(247) He safeguards from maladies, grief and aquatic animals in a number of ways. The enemy may strike many a blow, yet a minor injury cannot be inflicted on the body. He holds out his hand to protect and hampers the multitude of sins from approaching. What else need I mention to you about other matters, He even protects (the embryo) in the membrane of the womb (of the mother).(6)(248) Yakshas, serpents, demons and gods-all meditate on You, the Enigmatic Lord! Yakshas, serpents and all creatures inhabiting earth, sky, infernal world and the lowest nether region, all bow their heads to You. They cannot gauge Your eminence even Vedas expound You as infinite. All demigods who, tried to explore You, grew weary of their search; they failed and could not find You, O Lord.(7)(249) Sages like Narada, gods like four-faced Brahma and bards like Rumna (a disciple of Brahma and reciter of Puranas) all joined together to sing His praises. The Vedas and the Ketabas (Semitic Scriptures) have not found His secret; all have suffered defeat, but the Lord was realized by none.Shiv (Lord of Parvati) could not find His limit. Accomplished ascetics, members of Gorakh Nath sect and Sanak etc. (four mind-born sons of Brahma) have been meditating upon Him. Put your mind to Him whose unlimited power holds sway over the whole world.(8)(250) Adherents of Vedas, Puranas, Ketabas (Semitic Scriptures) and Koran and celebrated kings strained their nerves and perished. They could not find the secret of the Mysterious Lord; and in distress, they murmur invocations to the Indivisible Lord. The Lord has no affection, no appearance, no outline, no colour, no suspicion and, no sorrow but He is with you.One, who has repeated the name of the Primeval, immemorial, incomprehensible, garbless and spiteless Lord, has saved his family.(9)(251) One may perform myriads of ablutions at pilgrim places, one may donate sundry alms and may observe arduous fasts. He may wander in the guise of an anchorite in various countries, may increase matted hair, despite these practices, he shall not attain the Beloved God. One may adopt million of Asanas (Yoga postures) may maintain eight parts of the body, may follow anga-nyasa (ceremony of touching certain parts of the body) and may blacken his face. But without meditating on the name of the Compassionate to the wretched and Immortal Lord, he shall depart for the abode of Yama (hell).(10)(252)
