Binding

Translation of Marathi Poem to reveal its meaning for Non-Marathi readers. Suggest better wording to improve its quality.
Poem - Bandhan (Binding)
from ‘Sangava’, book of poems
by Mrs. Shubhangi S. Ranade
----
Binding

There is no binding for true love
It overcomes the walls of religion and cast
And grows unhindered

There is no binding for true friendship
It crosses the borders between countries
And grows unhindered

There is no binding for true relationship
It assimilates all old memories
And remains intact

There is no binding for true achievement
It supersedes ornaments of gold and pearls
And shines over the personality

There is no binding for true prayer to god
It overcomes hurdles of day today works
And still keeps lingering in the mind

There is no binding for true knowledge
It removes the superstitions from minds of people
And makes them more sane
