I am not sure if the story is true but the moral is wonderful
Bhajan by sant Surdasji. There is a beautiful story about this Bhajan.
Vivekananda had stopped for some time in Khetri, at the court of the Maharaja who had become his disciple. One day while he was sitting in Durbar, the court, a performing girl made her appearance with her troupe and was about to sing. As Vivekanand was a celibate, he considered taking part in similar kinds of entertainment inappropriate for him and his sadhana. He rose to leave the assembly. “Wait Swamiji.” the Maharaja said. “you will find nothing to offend you here. On the contrary you will be pleased.” Vivekanand stayed on the Maharajji’d persistence and the girl started singing this Bhajan.
Once the Bhajan was over Vivekanand who was moved beyond words, spoke most beautifully to the girl, even thanking her for the lesson she had given him, thus removing the last vestige of a possible spiritual pride.
“prabhu ji more avgun chit na dharo�prabhu ji mere avgun chit na dharo�samdarsi hai naam tiharo �samdarasi hai naam tiharo
Chaho toh paar karo�prabhu ji mere avgun chit na dharo�prabhu ji mere avgun chit na dharo
Ek loha pooja main rakhat
Ek ghar badhik paro
Sow duvidha paras nahi jaane
Kanchan karat kharo
ek nadi ek naar kahaavat�mailo hi neer bharo�Jab mili donon ek baran bhaya
Sursari naam bhayo
Tann maya jo Brahma kahavat
Sur so mile bigiro
Kai inka nirdhar kijiye
Kai prann jaat taro�prabhu ji more avgun chit na dharo�prabhu ji more avgun chit na dharo”
Meaning
My sweet Lord please don’t give any attention to my shortcomings,
You are called “Samdarsi”, one who is impartial and loves every one equally,
If you do please, help me cross this ocean of hardships,
Metal in it’s various forms is used in temples and other holy places and the same metal is also found in forms of various tools at places where they cut animal meat (otherwise considered impure places),
However you are like the “Paras” rock that on touching any metal changes it to gold,
A river gets it’s water from various sources, some pure as rain and other smaller rivers and also from dirty drains,
However once all that water finds it’s way to the river, the entire water becomes Ganga (the same way we mortals on finding and merging with you become one with you),
This body is full of maya (is easily corruptible) whereas the soul is Brahma himself,
However maya corrupts the soul and so sweet Lord it is up to you either to accept this being or let your promise of salvation to all souls, go unfulfilled.
It is true though. You could be the lowest of the low. The wretched of the wretched. More worthless than anything in this world. A Guru will always love you and only wishes for you to be near him so his touch can change you to pure Gold.
How they do it is upon them. But they will accept you
