Namdev : The thundering resonance of the Word

For some background on the Hindu minstrel poet and mystic Namdev, see this post.

The thundering resonance of the Word
has liberated me while living;
Such is the service, O Lord,
rendered by Thy minister, the Saint.
How can I ever repay Thee, O my Benefactor?
Thou art my mother, Thou art my father,
Thou art my munificent Lord.
Thou hast blessed me with Thy overflowing
love within.
Through Thee have I experienced the glory
of freedom.

Translation J. R. Puri
