And that taste is such a terrific that it makes the best of this world – beautiful ladies, money, power, skills, fame so sour tasting that the worshiper is not interested to even take a look at them!

Banda JoDekhata Khuda Ki Ada
To Ho Jata Khuda Pe Phida
Nahi Kabhi Koi Aur Cheez Chahata
Ladata Ishka Khuda Se Sada

No sooner worshiper sees God
The same instant he is sold to God
Heart doesn’t wish for anything other than God
Just Always enjoy Love from God

Namaz -1

People from all faiths worship God in some form or other. All faiths have their own code as how to worship God. Hindus keep on doing Pooja and rituals, visit Kashi and other religious places.
Muslims offer Namaz, keep on visiting Macca Madina, Christens visit church and so on…But there is one question. Does the worshiper ever think whether God happy with the worshiper? For example, if a person is interested in a house we must offer him house and not a car! Do we offer God what He wants? God wants love and we present him everything other than love and shower the love for our relations!

Vo Namaz Bhi Kya
Jisape Khuda Ho Na Phida
Gar Khuda Hota Jo Phida
To Kyu Na Dikhata Apani Ada?

What kind of offering is that Namaz
Which is not heartening to God

You will never forget that whichever from you visualize him in is divine. It is full of transcendental beauty and transcendental happiness. You will remember that he is present every where. You will also make sure you will not demand anything, right up to mukti, from him. You will think of him and only him.
