Sri Swami Vishwananda: One day Surdas went to a temple and there, every day, although he was blind, he would describe how the Deity was dressed.
In the Hindu tradition it is like that: every day, when they bathe their statue, they dress their statue nicely with new clothes.
Now, everybody and even the priest were thinking “Oh, my goodness, probably he is just pretending to be blind.”
So one day they didn’t dress the statue at all.
They left the statue naked and then he sang “Oh my Lord in your nakedness, You are even more beautiful than with clothes.”
And such was his Love for Krishna that Surdas was one with Him.
This is a fragment of the wonderful book Just Love
There is a beautiful song called Shyama Thori Murali by Surdas
Tomorrow we will tell you more about the wonderful Saint Surdas
