None
Book •
Mirabai's "O My Friends" is a passionate devotional poem expressing the intense longing and surrender of the soul to the divine.

It uses vivid imagery of nature—deer, partridge, fish—to illustrate the complete devotion required on the spiritual path.

The poem's central theme is the annihilation of the ego and the merging of the individual self with the divine.

Mirabai's powerful imagery and emotional intensity convey the ecstatic experience of union with God. The poem's enduring appeal lies in its ability to articulate the universal human desire for connection with the transcendent.
