BEST RELIGION- Yogis claim yoga to be sweetest(religion) of all, none other. Those with plucked hair (Jain monks), those close-shaven ones and those saying the sole cry of 'Alakh, Alakh' all claim to have found God. They are all blind, alienated from God they have fallen into illusion. Whoever one goes to get release from Maya, is himself bound in numerous snares. Pride is discarded only when it is absorbed back into the mind which it arose out of. Scholars, men of accomplishments and knowledge and men of valour all lay exclusive claim to greatness. Only the ones the Lord grants realization to obtains it. Without realization how can one be merged into the Absolute God? By contact with the holy Guru darkness is lifted. Thus the pearl of enlightenment is obtained. Discard all stray foul thoughts and firmly grasp the Divine Essence (God). Kabir says, this state (of mind) cannot be described, like the dumb one tasting sugar (but unable to tell of the sweetness) (page 334)
