In plain words
In this noise of the world you are unable to make out My sounds. So in a state of silence you will hear the sound of My feet. With this in view, from ancient times people would worship God in solitary places, without any sound. This sound is coming from within ourselves. That itself is the sound of the Praṇava. Take a small example. When you open your ears, you hear many sounds. Shut them tight. Yet from within comes the sound ‘Om’. They have gone on teaching such paths in many forms, along many kinds of path. But those who cannot rightly understand the words God spoke fall into these troubles.
Sūrdās had no eyes. But this was something he had done to himself. When he was chasing after some woman he had seen, her husband: ‘Why did God give you eyes? Did He give you those eyes to chase after another man's wife on sight? Chī! Wicked man! Get out!’ So he scolded; and unable to bear that pain, he took a thorn from a lemon tree in that man's compound and pierced his eyes. Do you know why He gave eyes? To wander about the lanes and alleys? I do not want eyes like these. Did You give me these eyes to be scolded by this man? From then on, chanting the one Name of Kṛṣṇa in many kinds of ways, Sūrdās made his way toward Dvārakā.
At one time, unable to see with his eyes, Sūrdās, on his way to Dvārakā, came near to falling into an abandoned well. As he went along chanting this Name of Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa came after him in the guise of a cowherd boy. He took his hand. Where do you need to go, Dāsa-gāru? ‘My boy! I must go to Dvārakā,’ he said. ‘I will show you the way; come,’ he said. ‘Ah! I am glad,’ he said, and was very happy. Night fell. ‘You stay in the rest-house. Tomorrow I will come and take you along,’ said this cowherd boy.
