"Refuge in you, Dark One, you alone know how to save me. A girl possessed, I shamble through the sixty-eight places of pilgrimage but haven't the wit to know failure. Hear my cry, O Murari - nothing on earth looks like it's "mine". Mira gave you her trust, now it's your move. Spring her from this noose we call "world." " ~From "For the Love of the Dark One - Songs of Mirabai", trans. Schelling.

"Why life, why again, and what reason birth as a woman? Good deeds in former lives they say. But- growth, cut, cut, decline- life disappears second by second and never comes back, a leaf torn from its branch twists away. Look at this raging ocean of life forms, swift, unappeasable, everything caught in its tide. O beloved, take this raft quickly and lead it to shore." ~From "For the Love of the Dark One - Songs of Mirabai", trans. Schelling.
