When a man falls into a well, of what use is it if he controls his voice
and his emotions and whispers quietly, "I have fallen into this well.. I
have fallen into this well... I am in great danger... Please save me?”
and so on. No one will be able to hear or save him. He must shout
full-throated, with all the anguish he is experiencing and with the
extreme desire to be saved. Then he can hope to get succour. Similarly,
when you are caught in the coils of this world, when you have fallen
into this deep well of worldly misery, shout with all your might and all
your heart, that you may be saved by God. There is no use muttering
faintly and half-heartedly, "Save me... I am floundering in this samsaar
(worldly life)." When the prayer comes shrieking through the heart,
help is assured. Sing with intense yearning for God and enjoy the
experience of adoring Him.
