Shiva sees through your eyes.
Shiva sees through your ears
and speaks with your tongue.
Shiva makes your breath move in and out
and digests your food when you eat.

O'Lalli!
Lose yourself
in the repetition
of Om Namah Shivaya. 

page 11


When your desires
are burned in meditation,
when the jealousy
that hurls you into hell
flees from your heart,
when the ego
that blinds you surrenders,
when your mind
becomes as clear as water,
O'Lalli, then you become
the eternal abode of Shiva.
