Mirabai composed:
- If by bathing daily God could be realized 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 the Lord could be imbibed Many calves and children would know Him;
- If abandoning one's wife would summon God Would not thousands be eunuchs?
Mirabai knows that to find the Divine One The only indispensable is Love.
