Analysis of A great Yogi

Mirabai 1498 (Kudki, Pali district, Jodhpur State) – 1556 (Dwaraka)



In my travels I spent time with a great yogi.
Once he said to me.
“Become so still you hear the blood flowing
through your veins.”

One night as I sat in quiet,
I seemed on the verge of entering a world inside so vast
I know it is the source of
all of
us.
