"PRATHAM BHAGARI SANTAN KAR SANGA

DOOSARI RATI MAM KATHA PRASANGA."

The first step of devotion is to have the company of saints and the second step is to develop a fondness for listening to God's glory.

"AB MOHI BHA BHAROSH HANUMANTA.

BINU HARIKRIPA MILAHIN NAHIN SANTA."

Now I believe that one cannot meet a true saint unless God's grace showers on him.

"SUT DHARA AUR LAXMI, PAPI GHAR BHI HOY.

SANT SAMAGAM HARI KATHA, TULSI DURLABH DOY."

Even in the house of a sinner, son, wife and wealth may be found but satsang and company of saints is rare to find.

Mahatma Gandhi

The art which does not inspire a vision of the Self is not an art. The true devotee is he who, though seeing the external things with physical eyes, does not see, but sees his inner self with the divine eye.

"MAN JEETA TIN JAG JEETA"

If you win over your mind, then you will be victorious in this world.

"BHAJAN BIN BAIL BIRANE HOIYO.

PANW CHAR SIR SING GOONG MUKH,

TAB GUN KAISE GAIYO.

TOOTE KANDH SUFATI NAKANI,

KODHON LON BHUS KHAIYO 

UTHAT BAITHAT  LAKUT BAJIHAIN,

TAB KAHAN MUND DURAIYO

SHEET GHAM GHAN VIPAT GHANERI,

BHAR TARE MAR JAIYO.

HARIDASAN KO KAHA NA MANAT, KIYO APNO PAIYO.

'SOORDAS' BHAGWANT BHAJAN BIN,

VRITHA JANMA GANWAIYO."

Without meditation on God, you will have to become an ox. You will have four legs and horns on your head. You will be speechless, so how will you sing the glory of God? People will beat you and blood will be oozing from your shoulders. You will have to eat dry straw. They will beat you with sticks to make you stand up, then where will you hide your head? You will have to put up with the cold of winter and heat of summer under the open sky and even then they will put heavy loads on your back which you will have to carry. After you are born, humans will drink your mother's milk while you will be given dry husks to eat. You will have to put up with various troubles and then none of your relatives will come to help you. Now, you occupy yourself with your family, your wife, children and all but you do not listen to the saints and Divine Persons who tell you time and again to attend satsang and to acquire Spiritual Knowledge. You do not believe in the words of the saints that, without doing devotion, one becomes an ox, or camel or a pig and is put to various troubles. Surdas says, O brother, without devotion your human life is going to waste. So, put laziness aside, think about the pros and cons and take to the devotional path.

"JYON TIL MAHIN TEL HAI, JYON CHAKMAK MEN AAG.

TERA SAIN TUJH MEIN HAI, JAG SAKE TO JAG."

As there is oil within a sesame seed and spark within flint, similarly, your Lord is within you, so wake up, if you can.

"MRIG NAVI KUNDAL BASE,

MRIG DHOONDHE BAN MAHIN.

AISE GHAT GHAT BRAHMA HAIN,

DUNIYA JANAT NAHIN."

The musk deer roams in the forest looking for the source of the fragrance that actually comes from its own navel. In the same way, Almighty is present within everyone's heart, but nobody knows.

"KOTI NAM SANSAR MEIN, TATE MUKTI NA HOY.

ADI NAM JO GUPTA JAP, BOOJHE BIRLA KOY."

There are thousands of descriptive names for God but they cannot bestow salvation. Only a rare person knows the Eternal Name which is remembered secretly within.
