A shabad from the Granth Sahib:

"You are me, and I am You-what is the difference
between us?
We are like gold and the bracelet, or water and the
waves

If I did not commit any sins, O Infinite Lord,
how would You have acquired the name, 'Redeemer of
sinners'?

You are my Master, the Inner-knower, Searcher of
hearts
The servant is known by his God, and the Lord and
Master is known by His servant

Grant me the wisdom to worship and adore You with my
body
O Ravi Daas, one who understands that the Lord is
equally in all, is very rare."


A very amusing ‘exchange’ between God and a man of God. The almost playful tone is the result of a perceived nearness to him. The urge to possess of a kid, lover is transformed into knowledge that he already has what he wanted. I love you not in order to partake of your wisdom but to become wise in the act of loving.

There is a difference/distance between us and it may be huge but not unsurpassable. I need you because my shortcomings need the intervention of a higher power than I possess. I know that I benefit from your presence but please do not forget that my devotion has a contribution to make in making you more desirable to others.

I make my body an instrument of your will. An insignificant sacrifice to make compared with your blessings and the chance of uniting with you
