VISION WITHOUT SIGHT?

Ancient Poet Surdas was a great and devout devotee of Lord Krishna. He has composed and sang number of devotional songs in praise and glorifying Lord Krishna. Surdas was blind. Whenever he sang Lord Krishna used to sit in front of him as a child and enjoy the songs and dance to the tune of the songs of Surdas... Occasionally, Surdas had the vision of Lord Krishna’s darsan and Surdas never felt sorry for being blind.

One day a doctor approached Surdas and offered to cure his blindness. Surdas replied. “You are very kind and benevolent in offering to restore my eye sight- Can you assure me the vision of the Lord Krishna which ‘am now enjoying even without sight?”.
The doctor had no answer.
Blessed and realized are those who have “vision even without sight.”
