(Kavitt)
Yoga Yajna Japa Tapa Tiratha Bratadi Daan, Sadhan Sakal Nahi Yaki Saravara Hai. [1]
Aura Devi Devata Upasana Aneka Bhanti, Shankara Sab Duri Kari Tina Te Na Dara Hai. [2]
Sab Hi Ke Sisa Para Panva De Mukati Hoya, ‘Sundar’ Kahata So To Janame Na Mara Hai. [3]
Mana Baca Kaya Kari Antara Na Rakhai Kachhu, Santan Ki Seva Karai Soi Nisatara Hai. [4]
- Shri Sundardas Ji
Even the combined practices of yoga, sacrifice, chanting, austerity, pilgrimage, vows, and charity cannot equal the greatness of serving the saints. [1]
If one abandons various forms of worship directed toward different deities and instead takes complete refuge in the saints, engaging oneself in their service, such a soul attains the state of supreme fearlessness. [2]
Śrī Sundara Dāsa Jī says that such a devotee places even liberation beneath his feet, regarding it as insignificant; freedom from the cycle of birth and death comes to him naturally. [3]
One who, with mind, speech, and action, serves the saints with complete sincerity — that person alone crosses over the ocean of worldly existence. [4]
