An Outer Appearance of Saintliness

Aum Sairam

An Outer Appearance of Saintliness

Of what avail is an outer appearance of saintliness
If the mind suffers inwardly from knowledge of its iniquity?

He who has not attained the power yet wears the garb of saints
it’s like a cow that grazes about wearing a tiger’s skin.

He who conceals himself beneath saintly robes and commits sins
Is like the hunter who hides in the bushes to snare unwary birds.

Allah Malik
