Bhajan6 min

Salutations to the Enlightened Master, who remains ever free, untouched & blissful in the midst of worldly associations. Sing the glory of this wondrous spiritual state through ‘Madh Dariye Ubha Dekhay’ by Shantanu Herlekar. Meaning: He appears to be in the middle of the world-like sea, yet remains untouched. When such a state arises within, He is called a true enlightened one! Who views the flame of attachment as a serpent, who is devoid of passions, who accepts everything without differentiating, He is called a true enlightened one. Who dines on the sustenance of knowledge, for whom thoughts are a distant realm, who appears effortlessly detached in the world, He is called a true enlightened one. Who bathes in the waters of bliss, who sheds the dirt of attachment; who joyfully progresses ahead, He is called a true enlightened one. Where there are no traces of inauspiciousness, who feels the pinch even of auspiciousness, who does not stop at the modifications, He is called a true enlightened one. Where fountains of the eternal flow, whose state is such that He keeps turning within, akin to a lotus untouched by the lake of the material world, He is called a true enlightened one.
