The precious diamond of God’s name is lying in the river of heart. But only a Guru oriented devout can realise this fact.
If a devotee, after taking a lesson from that person, who is trifling his life in order to dig out diamond and pearls from the deep sea, dives in his heart, he will definitely be successful in locating the diamond of God’s name.
Ravidass says, O man! This state of mind is called salvation. The man, who discovers this truth, will be the pious saint in real sense.
