Measuring myself by that standard I must exclaim with Surdas :
Where is there a wretch
So wicked and loathsome as I ?
I have forsaken my Maker,
So faithless have I been.
For it is an unbroken torture to me that I am still so far from Him, who, as I fully know, governs every breath of my life, and whose offspring I am. I know that it is the evil passions within that keep me so far from Him, and yet I cannot get away from them.
