(Raag Asavari)
Sansar Samudra Manushya Meen Nakar Makar Aur Jeev Bahu Bandasi.
Mana Bayar Prere Sneh Fand Fandasi.
Lobh Pinjra Lobhi Marjiya Padarath Chari Khand Khandasi.
Kahi Shri Haridas Tei Jeev Paar Bhaye He Gahu Rage Charan Anand Nandasi.
- Lalita Avtar Shri Haridas Ji, Ashtadash Pada (09)
This world is like an ocean, where humans are like fish, surrounded by dangerous creatures such as crocodiles and alligators, ready to devour them. [1]

The mind of a living being drifts like the wind, aimlessly entangled in the bonds of attachment. [2]
Driven by greed, the soul finds itself trapped in a cage of desires, chasing the four pursuits of life: Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Kama (desire), and Moksha (liberation). [3]
Swami Haridas Ji teaches that only those who seek refuge at the lotus feet of Sri Banke Bihari, the embodiment of bliss, can cross the ocean of worldly existence. [4]
