ibaadat

Some lines from a great poem by Bhupendra Bekal ji, which have made an impression on my heart, though I am miles away from following them.

बेरंग की रंगीन मस्ती में खोकर

हवस-भय-खुशामद से निर्लेप होकर

ख्यालों में मुर्शद के एहसां पिरोकर

इबादत है झुक जाना मशकूर होकर

........

'बेकल' इबादत में शर्तें हैं वर्जित

इबादत है कर देना खुद को समर्पित

(Worship is losing oneself in the colorful trance of this colorless Almighty; going beyond lust, greed, fear and flattery; Always keeping in mind the grace of God; worship is bowing to Him with gratitude. 

"Bekal", worship is not on conditions, worship is to surrender oneself fully.)

I pray to Almighty that I may be able to follow these in my life.
