"If by bathing daily God could be realised
Sooner would I be a whale in the deep;
If by eating roots and fruits He could be known
Gladly would I choose the form of a goat;
If the counting of rosaries uncovered Him
I would say my prayers on mammoth beads;
If bowing before stone images unveiled Him
A flinty mountain I would humbly worship;
If by drinking milk God could be imbibed
Many calves and children would know Him;
If abandoning one's wife would summon God
Would not thousands be eunuchs ?
Mirabhai knows that to find the Divine One
The only indispensable is Love ."

One of Mirabhai's ecstatic songs translated by Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda
