Message: The Creator resides everywhere

When you have internalised divine wisdom and seek the support of the eternal Truth, you don’t waver or have any fear and delusions in life. Wherever you live, whether a ‘holy’ or a ‘cursed’ place, you are at peace.

You are not afraid of hell or misery. You have no desire for heaven either. You have shed the ignorance and egoism, which cause us to fall into the hell or misery of our present lives.

Merging your individual self with the Divine self, you become friends with the Creator and are in spiritual harmony with the Divine will.

Bhagat Kabir attained such a fearless and steady state of mind. So can we. Let’s start with baby steps. You only need to take one!

Etymology: Origin obscure.
