Devotees shines as the fire of wisdom...

From time to time, the Divine power
assumes numerous forms.
In devotees, it shines as the fire of wisdom.

In non-devotees, it burns as the fire of anger
or the fire of desire. Man today has this fire of anger and lust
in his heart and has become a victim of fear and delusions.

All other types of fire subside in due course of time,
but these fires (of anger, etc.) never completely cease.
They may flare up at any moment.

How, then, are these fires to be
extinguished once for all?
Detachment and love are the two requisites to extinguish
these fires. It is only through love that man can acquire peace.
