O saints! The worship is partial in the Kalyug. Therefore, there will hardly be anyone, who remains neutral or unprejudiced in this age.
A man remains happy in the partial meditation, to which he belongs but gets perturbed to see the other type of worship to whom he does not like and hence feels dejected.
The self-interested topics are luring men in the sea of fire. People do not know the best object of religious pursuit and they do not stick to it.
A barren woman does not believe that she can give birth to a child, like this the man cannot acquire faith to swim the ocean of existence, without reciting the name of God.
In the mind of a renegade person, the desire to remember the name of God does not appear as he gives preference to the worldly desires.
Ravidass says that a person shall take refuge in a true Guru otherwise he has to suffer while indulging in partial meditation.
