"Do not fall in love with Maya, it will ruin you.
It will drag you from love and leave you a pauper.
Surrender to the Perfect Master, he will better your lot
He will adorn you with the jewelry of spirituality
and make you the richest of the rich.
Then what power will the angel of death have over you?
It behooves you to always remember this!"
Meher Baba
Ghazal dictated in Hindi
August 26, 1960
in Bhau Kalchuri

I've been looking for that short poem, which Hermes in particular loved, for years...I knew it was in LORD MEHER. Guess I could have found it, actually. Jai Baba!
I remember another translation, "it makes you a grimy beggar"...which is a little more graphic, somehow.
