Surdas was a blind mystic, singer and poet. Lord Krishna once appeared and asked him, in His infinite mercy, if he wanted eyes, so that he could see the world.
Surdas replied, "Though people have the kind of eyes you are offering to give me, they are befogged with ignorance and are not able to recognise You in all forms and in all beings. Though people have ears, they cannot hear the melody of your flute. I want eyes that can always see Your beauty everywhere, ears that can hear Your flute, from every corner of the world."
(Quoted from the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
