Like the iron needle reaches for the load stone. 
Like the chaste woman reaches for  her lord, 
Like the tender creeper reaches for near by trees, 
Like the river reaches for the sea, 
If the spirit of the mind, 
Reaches for the lotus feet of Pasupathi, 
And stays there always,  
Then that state is called devotion.
