III. 84. jhi jhi jantar bajai

jhi jhi jantar bajai,
kar charan bihunaa naachye
kar binu baajye sunye shravan binu,
shravan shrotaa loyee
paat n subaas sagaa binu avasar,
bujhou muni-jan soyee

The harp gives forth murmurous music; and the dance goes on without hands and feet.
It is played without fingers, it is heard without ears: for He is the ear, and He is the listener.
The gate is locked, but within there is fragrance: and there the meeting is seen of none.
The wise shall understand it.
