O Jiva [Soul]! Give Up All Blind Adherences and Beliefs, Concentrate Within and Seek the Supreme Being There

“I have described in detail Sat Mat [the true timeless teachings or path] with which worldly ways are incompatible. I have tasted the bliss of the original abode which alone is true. The world, on the other hand, is only a fleeting show, and only if one ponders over this, one will be able to realize the essence of Sat Mat and then alone will one’s boat of life be able to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Great reverberation of Shaba [Divine Sound] is going on within, and one should fix one’s attention on it and dance with joy.

“O Jiva [soul]! Give up all blind adherences and beliefs, concentrate within and seek the Supreme Being there, adopting Him alone as your Isht or goal. Do ponder over what I say and see for yourself with eyes wide open that there is none in this world whom you can call your own. You should adopt the Supreme Being alone as your prop and support. Very strange are the ways of the world, which you will realise if
only you can vanquish your mind.”

— Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, a hymn (shabd) from Ghat Ramayan
