Jayau Bhaundi Bhed Kau, Kinaun Chahai Aind.
Aind Tau Rasikan Saun Banain, Jin Tori Sab Mend.
- Shri Biharin Dev Ji, Shri Biharin Dev Ji Ki Vani, Siddhant Ki Saakhi (576)
Even if a lamb longs to become a lion, desire alone can never make it one. A true lion breaks down every fence that surrounds it. How can one who remains entangled in numerous religious formalities, ritual observances, scriptural injunctions and prohibitions, sectarian identity, or other external bonds ever be compared to those exclusive rasikas whose resolve is as firm as that of a lion? A true rasika is one who has broken every other bond and established an exclusive relationship with Śrī Priyā-Priyatama alone.
