The flame of knowledge burns
strong and bright

The flame of knowledge burns

strong and bright,

The flame of Ram – the Lord of Light;

The seeds of attachment are consumed therein,

His purifying name cleanses our sin.

The scriptures glowing

with the knowledge of life,

A life of honour and free of strife;

Let us burn this flame again – once again

And sing the Supreme’s glorious Name.

To make this life an offering to Him

Each act will reveal truth to the brim;

Only then will His omniscient light

The spark of humility in our hearts ignite.

When His entire family joins in His name,

And acts merely to rejoice in His fame,

Then only will the offering be complete

When all individuals in togetherness meet.

Let us then join – step forward together

In each other our strength we shall gather;

Each individual offering a significance will gain,

As in this togetherness we banish all pain.

Let us take our light from this burning flame

And spread this light through

His glorious Name;

When love, knowledge and devotion blend

The path towards union will inevitably end.
