The Lord is under the control of His slaves, like the musical instrument under the control of the musician.

The Lord's slaves meditate on the Lord; they love their Beloved.

Please, hear me, O God - let Your Grace rain over the whole world.

That humble servant of the Lord meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; the Lord, and the Lord's humble servant, are one and the same.
