Despite being favourite of my Master, I remained sleeping in ignorance. I remained bereft of meeting my comfort-giving beloved. I remained wherever I was, separated and bereft of His love and blessings. This is what sleep of ignorance did to me.

Frog and lotus flower live in the same pond but despite that the frog-like mind does not know lotus as if he is residing in a foreign land. The frog eats moss and not lotus flower. Such is the state of mind who is not aware of the Naam Amrit co-existing with it, and stays indulged in vices.

A person who has done no good to anyone is like a rat living in a burrow even if he puts hismelf through rigorous penance to realise his beloved God. Similarly, acquiring long life of a snake does not dispel the venom of vices and desires from one's mind.
