Bhaj Govindam This is a verse written by Nityananda is beautiful. It is describing the outwardly behaviours of the truly realised, a state where the self fades and only God remains, where the oneness with all becomes a reality. The normal norm of the society don’t apply to him and he remains maast in his own masti. This ones behaviour can not be understood by the masses who are bound by the rules of the so called cultured society. He comes across as a dim wit, mad man or even scary to the eyes of the worldly. The one who revels in God and knows the secrets of this universe, can no longer or no longer wants to indulge the worldly people and their norms of normality. The awakened are difficult to understand, but then Who can understand the one who has understood ‘That One’. Verse 22 रथ्या चर्पट विरचित कन्थः, पुण्यापुण्य विवर्जित पन्थः। योगी योगनियोजित चित्तो, रमते बालोन्मत्तवदेव॥ Rathyā carpaṭa viracita kanthaḥ Puṇyāpuṇya vivarjita panthaḥ, Yogī yoganiyojita citto Ramate bālonmattavadeva रथ के नीचे आने से फटे हुए कपडे पहनने वाले, पुण्य और पाप से रहित पथ पर चलने वाले, योग में अपने चित्त को लगाने वाले योगी, बालक के समान आनंद में रहते हैं॥
