Prem-Samudra Roop-Rasa Gahre, Kaise Laage Ghat. [1]

Kahu Kau Sir Sudhau Na Parai, Maarat Gaal Gali Gali Haat. [3]
Kahin ShriHaridas Jaani Thakur-Bihari Takat Oat Paat. [4]

- Lalita Avatar Shri Haridas Ji, Ashtadash Pada (18)
 
Just as the vast ocean knows no bounds, so too does the ocean of love, vast and immeasurable, so deep with beauty and nectar, with no shore to be found. [1] 
 
Those who claim to have understood the essence of love are merely speaking in vain. The path of true love is not one that can be easily traversed. True connoisseurs of love eventually admit that they know nothing. [2] 
 
Those who roam through streets and marketplaces, boasting about love and making a show of it, have not yet touched the essence. In reality, they are still far from the purity of true love. [3] 
 
Swami Shri Haridas Ji Maharaj says that Shri Banke Bihari Ji knows everything because He sits deep within the heart, witnessing all that happens behind the veil. [4]
