• Kabirdas said, ‘God can even listen to the sound of Ghunghroo (trinklets) tied to an ant’s feet; however, some Hindus ring the bell inside a temple, as if God is deaf ! Thus, the other devotees present inside the temple, some of whom are doing Naamjap (chanting) while some others are meditating get disturbed. You yourself think how God’s grace will manifest itself on such devotees! Remember seekerhood lies in sparing a thought for others! The bell must be struck with extreme affection and ever so lightly, as if we were waking up a near and dear one and are about to make an entreaty to that person! – Tanuja Thakur
