Whatever is a devotee's <br />caste, clan, family, or name, <br />Rama's love for him is the same. <br /> <br />Beggar and king <br />are one to him. <br /> <br />Say, of what caste could be <br />Brahma or Shiva? <br /> <br />Rama will never abide <br />in the egotistic man's heart <br />therefore his slave, Suradasa, <br />has abandoned pride. <br /> <br />Rama was born in the Raghu clan <br />Krishna found his home in Gokula. <br /> <br />Words fail to tell of <br />the Lord's love <br />universal, all-embracing; <br />Dhruva was a Kshatriya, <br />Prahlada a demon and Vidura the son of a maid: <br />yet the Lord gave them his supreme love, <br />Krishna washed the devotees' feet <br />at the Rajasuya. <br /> <br />The Lord is the slave <br />of his devotees <br />age after age. <br />The tongue can't relate <br />his countless deeds. <br /> <br />Says Suradasa, the Puranas and Vedas <br />are witness to these.<br /><br />Sant Surdas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lord-is-his-devotees-slave/
