O cultured Pearl! O glorious Pearl of Wisdom! O Guru Bawa, purity of bliss! Those who listen to Your glorious words (of grace) Will exist forever, will prosper forever, Will receive Your grace in full measure. 6 - back to outline The Pearls of Wisdom is a necklace A garland for our minds, Wisdom's pearl that dispels our darkness, Sculptured in our minds in indelible words "Long live Pearl of Wisdom"! Guru Bawa's gift to us of a necklace of pearls. 7 - back to outline Many a book have we seen in the world But never a unique book such as this!
