In the above sabad, Sant Dariya comments on
the futile exercise of false saints. People have made devotion a mockery. They are
obsessed with the externalities. Such false saints bear peculiar dresses and carry
different articles to cheat people. They bear garlands of beads in their neck,
colour their foreheads.They sing and dance at the tune of various musical instruments.
Many such so called saints have clean shaven heads whereas others keep long hairs.
Some get their ears' lobes punctured to bear rings . Some bear ear rings and others bear caps
on their heads. They eat and drink intoxicants like bhang, dhatura.Others run to
various places of pilgrimage and take bath in sacred rivers(so called). They practice variety
of dhyanas by controlling their breathing. Others study holy scriptures but
seldom live according to the teachings. Such persons are themselves lost. How can
they redeem others? Dariya speaks the truth and exhorts such mendicants to be heedful and follow the teachings of Sadguru with full faith.They should follow the true path shown by the Sadguru.Externalities have no role in true devotion to the Lord. |
