Smaller than the smallest atom,
All embracing as the heavens,

If Only you would
Give me refuge O Lord
To stay at your feet
In a line of saints.

gets the merit of a sacrifice at every step
His body becomes a place of pilgrimage.
He who repeats Godâ??s Name while working

As you look upon Him, fever and illusion vanish

I speak,
Yet am I silent:
I am dead,
Yet do I live:

When thus I lose myself in Thee, my God,
Then do I see, and know,
That all Thy universe reveals Thy beauty,
All living beings, and all lifeless things,
