Look not at my vices, O Lord, for all are equal in Thy eyes, they say. Grant me salvation if Thou wilt. These words echo the sentiment of a blind poet of the 15th-16th century, akin to Tulsidas in preaching the gospel of universal love. His poetry centers on the final aspect of love for Lord Krishna. Composed in the sweet and simple language of Brajbhasha, his verses resonate with spiritual depth. ‘Sursagar,’ a collection of his poems, stands as a masterpiece of literature in the national language, continuing to inspire seekers of divine love through the ages.
