Where does the mental bee fly to?
Unto whom does it fly, heading towards the far distance?

The flower’s honey provides only momentary pleasure.
Yet, desiring this honey,
the mind is pulled to the garden again and again.
The bee knows that it longs for permanent happiness.
Hence it rushes towards the blue sky.

Permanent honey is only with Purus’ottama, the Cosmic Nucleus.
Hence, the whole world,
as one mind, dances around Him.
Understanding this fact and in search of Him,
the bee flies off, spreading its wings.
