Nayan nehare bishwa bhuban Herena tahar pran Tai ankhi duti ruddha kariya Jogi kare tar dhyan Shruti shudhu shune bahirer katha Shunena oishi bani Sangjata tai shrutire kariche Satya tapasa gyani Translation
The eye sees the entire world But it sees not its own life; Therefore, keeping the two eyes closed The Yogi meditates on You, O Lord Supreme. The ear hears only The messages and the clamour of the outer world. It hears not the messages Of the highest Heaven; Therefore, the true seeker of wisdom Always tries to keep his ears Under his perfect control.
