I made great displays with outward pretense, putting on an act before God,
Wearing saffron robes and shaving my head, I went on crying out His name.
Becoming a hypocrite, I purified the environment instead of my own heart,
Proclaiming non-violence, I kept deceiving and misleading everyone.
Calling God my Master, my mind was filled with nothing but violence,
While mentally, I remained entangled in thoughts of other men.
I committed many such deeds through my mind, speech, and body,
Yet, I kept wandering around, pretending to be deeply righteous!
