“Oh all of you who have become His servants! Leave this worldly game far behind; Come up to His fragrant feet; Keep watching His sacred sign. He will put off this body stained with sin and keep us in the land of Bliss”. (45:4). The saint has made all these utterances with a fond belief to reach His Feet. He pleads to call him unto Him. He is pained that his filthy body has become a burden. He feels that his delusive dark dwelling of deceitful senses should be got rid of before reaching Him He hopes that the Lord will keep him in the land of Bliss after destroying his miserable tiny hut which is after all an outcome of his Karma (26:10) We have at this juncture, necessarily to ponder over again another argument of our saint, namely: “Oh Lord with an eye on the forehead! I saw Your jewelled twin Feet to the delight of my eyes. Instead of contemplating on them only, day and night henceforth, shall I, Oh my Father, brood on shedding this body on earth and entering beneath Your Feet in Bliss? Fine indeed is my serfdom to You! (33:9). Therefore, in my humble view and understanding of this divine work these utterances of the saint appear to have been with an assumption that the delusive body may be a hindrance in his hastening march to reach Him without realising the will of the Almighty. Perhaps a better and more appropriate explanation may fructify by His grace in future by divine devotees. What about the direct declarations? “I will not fear even if all the diseases were to Come upon me. Birth along with death I will not fear. But if we see those who do not get steeped in Bliss along with devotees of Him Who wears the crescent moon and wears the sacred ash, Ah me! it is then that we are frightened” (35:5). B6
