How far is your lord from you?It's said that God has got a big wall at the entrance of his darbar. The door of this entrance is very narrow.
One carrying a high attitude and proud is too lengthy to enter in. One needs to drop all of his sense before entering. Only after dropping all of your knowledge one gets to see the Supreme Lord.
It is described in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji by Kabir ji as
ਤੁਝ ਬਿਨੁ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਕਰੈ ਕੋ ਮੇਰੀ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੀਜੈ ਖੋਲ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਕਿਵਾਰ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
thujh bin surath karai ko maeree Dharasan Dheejai Kholih Kivaar ||1|| Rehaao ||
तुझ बिनु सुरति करै को मेरी दरसनु दीजै खोल्हि किवार ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
Who else can take care of me, other than You? Please open Your door, and grant me the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||1||Pause||
One gets such excitement on meeting with god that he wants to express his feeling to the world. However, he feels scarcity of words for describing him. In Guru Granth Sahib Ji this is compared with the mute, who tastes the sweet candy and is extremely happy but unable to describe his happiness to the world. Only thing he can do is to smile.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੰਤਨ ਰਸੁ ਆਈ ਹੈ ਜਿਉ ਚਾਖਿ ਗੂੰਗਾ ਮੁਸਕਾਰੈ ॥੨॥੧॥੨੦॥
Kahu Naanak Santhan ras aaee hai Jio Chaakh Goongaa Musakaarai ||2||1||20||
कहु नानक संतन रसु आई है जिउ चाखि गूंगा मुसकारै ॥२॥१॥२०॥
Says Nanak, the Saints savor this sublime essence, like the mute, who tastes the sweet candy, but only smiles. ||2||1||20||
