"He alone is the adept, the holy and the gnostic, who is in rapport with the Divine. Says Namdev, he alone has obtained peace in whom God's Name has taken abode." (verse from the Padavali of Saint Namdev)

What escape has humankind from the prison of sorrow,
Condemned to a night of pain which has no dawn.
A lover finds only the path to the Beloved worth taking;
Otherwise, one path is as good as another.

Let life enjoy eternal happiness,
Let the flame of wisdom and faith be lit in the soul,
Let God's Name flow in our veins,
Let each human being find relief from ego.
One who drinks from your cup and becomes oblivious
to one's self
Merges in God and becomes the Cupbearer.
(Darshan Singh) #spirituality
