Bhagat Surdas was a Gurmukh, poet and musician. This soul took physical form on earth in india, believed to be in 1483. It is said that he was blind from birth. He is traditionally believed to have lived from 1483 to 1573, and to have lived in Vrindavan, near Mathura.

Bhagat Surdas was devotee of God. He was also follower of Gurmat Philosphy. His one Line is given as credit of a whole Shabad in Gurbani. After writing that line Mahala Fifth explored his line under title Surdas in Raga Sarang.

Shabad of Surdas

A Dhur Ki Bani(Bani from Sachkhand) which he received he penned down, and his composition, which Guru Arjun Dev got during compilation of Granth and Collection of Bani, is incorporated in Adi Granth. The Shabad is:

ਛਾਡਿ ਮਨ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਮ੝ਖਨ ਕੋ ਸੰਗ੝ ॥
O mind, do not even associate with those who have turned their backs on the Lord Hari.

The alone line is Philosphy of Gurmat.

ਛਾਡਿ : Leave
ਮਨ : O Soul
ਹਰਿ : Inner Soul(when he haven't searched for inner soul), God(When he have searched his inner soul though, he is waiting for Command of God)
ਬਿਮ੝ਖਨ : Turned Backs
ਕੋ ਸੰਗ੝ : Company

Devotee Surdas is speaking to his Mind(Mann).

______________________


If person have no knowledge of Gurmat, than his anatomy is:

  • The Nature of his Mann is to remain tangle in Maya.
  • The Nature of his Mann is to earn more and more money more then necessity and forget God
  • The Nature of his Mann is to wait and watch some God will come before him and he could see it with naked eyes.
  • The Nature of his Mann is to take up other rights for himself
  • The Nature of his Mann isto have attachment with family more than required

If person have Knowledge of Gurmat and still he is not following it then he is nothing more than a Mukh Gyani.

______________________

Bemukhan are those people who tangle a person by teaching wrong methodologies and phiosophy that, a soul could not think of his own and God. Those people have turned their backs from God and Gurmat. All Disbelievers comes in this category, All Bharam Gyani, Fake Believers and Fake Saints comes in This category. Even person's own attention if is not inside too comes in this category.

Devotee Surdas is saying that O My Mind(Attention), don't follow the people, don't follow such religions, don't follow such ways which have turned their back to lord, Who do not know what their inner soul is who do not know why they born to earth. If you are in their company than leave company of those people. because such company will spoil your life and you have to come again and again on earth and Gurbani says it's difficult to get Human Body because the intellectual level and knowledge gaining level which a human have is not available in any other Organism.

So Leave Company of Darkness and Have company with LIght, the people who could teach you Gurmat, who are GUrmukhs. Even find and listen to inner soul, if you could not listen to your inner soul then you are Bemukhan too
