Plain text of Book 15, Hymn 11

1 Let him to whose house the devotee who possesses this knowledge comes as a guest, 2 rise up of his own accord to meet him, and say, Devotee, where did you pass the night? Devotee, here is water. Let them refresh you. Devotee, let it be as you please; Devotee, as your wish is so let it be; Devotee, as your desire is so be it. 3 When he says to his guest, Where did you pass the night? he reserves for himself thereby the paths that lead to the Garden. 4 When he says to him, Here is water, he secures thereby water for himself. 5 When he says to him, Let them refresh you, he thereby

wins vital breath to exceeding old age. 6 When he says to him, Devotee, let it be as you please, he secures to himself thereby what is pleasant. 7 That which is pleasant comes to him, and he is the beloved of the beloved, who is possessed of this knowledge. 8 When he says to him, Devotee, as your will is so let it be, he secures to himself thereby the fulfilment of his will. 9 Authority comes to him who possesses this knowledge, and he becomes the controller of the powerful. 10 When he says to him, Devotee, as your desire is so be it, he secures to himself thereby the attainment of his desire. 11 His desire comes to him who possesses this knowledge, and he gains the complete satisfaction of his wish.
