When you revel in the contemplation of the splendour of the Lord, nothing material can attract you. Everything this world has to offer will seem inferior. The company of the godly and the humble alone will be relished. Great saints who have sung the Grace of the Lord have realised Him in the altar of their own hearts. The unsullied love and devotion they transmitted through their songs have fertilized millions of devotees’ parched hearts. Reciting the Lord’s Name and observing their chosen spiritual practices have enabled many an aspirant to win over the Lord quickly and intimately. So strong and deep is their love and devotion that no disappointment could ever shake their faith. Ramdas, Tukaram, Meera and many others are wonderful examples of the above, and they have built the royal road of devotion for all of humanity. It is your duty now to live up to the heritage handed to you for your development by your pious forefathers.
