They Look Everywhere Except Within -- Mystic Poetry of Sant Namdev

 

They Look Everywhere Except Within -- Mystic Poetry of Sant Namdev

"What shall I do? The world sees yet is blind -- 

It has forsaken bliss and runs after earthly pursuits.

It idolizes stones and slaughters divine beings,

Adores and worships that which has no life!

The living are sacrificed at the altar of the lifeless -- 

The world sees yet continues to waste precious life.

"The Beloved is within the courtyard

But they worship him outside!

They worship stone

And get caught in duality.

Says Namdev, wake up, you fools -- 

Worship the Lord in spirit, not these stones!"

(Hindi Padavali of Sant Namdev, poem 47)

The Anurag Sagar on the Path of the Sound Current: Surat Shabd Yoga Meditation

"He who gets the Shabda becomes free of the dirt of birth after birth. The jiva who gets the Naam and Simran goes to Sat Lok. The soul who accepts the Shabda of the Master with firmness becomes as valuable as nectar. He goes back to his home with the strength of Sat Naam and his soul sings in peace and happiness. Kal doesn't stop the soul who has the glory of Sat Naam with her. Even Kal bows down to the soul who has the stamp of Naam on her." (Anurag Sagar - Ocean of Love)
