Siddha Gorakh Nath

On Irreversible Changes and Transmigration

Milk does not return to the udder, Likewise butter can never become buttermilk;

The sound of the conchshell does not exist once it is broken;

The blown flower, the fallen fruit do not go back to the tree;
The dead are never born again, never!

On the Importance of Material Body and Materialistic Philosophy

Mistakenly I had believed the body to be imperfect, but within it I realised the Ultimate Reality.

Those who let the body decay, destroy the spirit;
They will not attain the true powerful knowledge.
I have learned the art of how to foster the body.
I fostered the body and I fostered the soul.

On Caste System

We will set fire to the divisions of caste,

We will debate philosophical questions in the market place,

We will have dealings with despised households.

We will go around in different paths.
