SAI's REVEALATION

" Again I have come to Reveal, to Bless and to Inspire

The 'Lay and the LEARNED’, to Accomplish by Example

and by Practice;

The Glory of the Divine,

" Once, before this Revealation I Gave,

Yet missed Thou hath then to Grasp,

Hence I now ordain thee Again,

To look, to Listen and to Author.

" Thou hath agreed to pray and perform thy Duty,

To render now is the Time;

ennoble thy Life, Enthuse the devotees

To make their Life Sublime.

" I shall come' Again and Again' in need,

Ever with thee in deed.,

To show, to Guide, to Lead.,

Surely my" WORD" Thou hark and heed.,

Hark and Head "Mine" Deed and word.

" Though not a SCHOLAR, only a LITERATE,

My DISCIPLE, my DEVOTEE, Not be Less,

Than the ERUDITE 'Men-of- letters'.,

YET Achieve ACCEPTANCE and RECOGNITION, they shall Receive.

" He who Propagates my Preaching’s,

with Devotion Professes my Teachings.,

Ever be with him I shall.,

Grant GRACE, Gift knowledge. Bestow DELIVERANCE and GRACE.
