Stay as Close to Him as Possible
God is like a pillar and all human beings are like calves tightly attached with a rope of destiny and ‘Karma’. If we consider that pillar to be the Master, then we can consider the rope is tied to the Guru. Some times we are pulled near the pillar and some times we go far away from the pillar as per our “Karma” and as per the positive/negative actions of last lives. When we are near to the pillar we are grinded less, when we are far towards the outer side of the grinding stone we are grinded more ‐ that means we suffer the worldly miseries more. As long as we are between the two stones being continuously grinded by the motions of time, we have a chance to go near the central pole, but once we go‐out of the grinding wheel as powders, it we will difficult to return. So let us try to be as close to the pole as possible under all circumstances. Kabirji depicted this situation when he wrote:
Chalti Chakki Dekh ke Diya Kabira Roye
Do Pattan ke Beech Main Sabut Bacha na Koya
Someone asked Kabirji if nothing is safe between the two ‘Pattans’ that mean two stones, what to do. Kabirji advised that one should be near the pole or the ‘Khunta’, because near that pole the grains are least grinded.
Our pole, our protection is Shri Sainath. We should be as close to Him as possible. In every state of mind and soul, while going though the different events of life, we should always look to Him so that we do not go far‐away from Him and are grinded badly by the illusions of the world.
