   The ignorant beings remain constantly absorbed in fleeting worldly relationships and accumulating material possessions, yet continually abandon the causeless love of Śrī Śyāmasundara, his one and only true well-wisher.

What kind of enchanting arrow of attraction have You shot at Me, that this youthful Śyāma, who wanders in the dense nikunjas, has become completely and utterly subservient to You in every way?".

13. Daya Naav Harinam Ki Sataguru - Shri Dayabai

    Dayābāī says that the Holy Name of Śrī Hari is the boat that carries one across the ocean of material existence (bhava-sāgara), and the Guru is its helmsman. If one genuinely performs the true association of a saint, then crossing this ocean of worldly existence does not take even a moment of delay.
