About the Prabhu Ji Tum Chandan Hum Pani
Sant Ravidas (Raidas), the 15th-century saint of Varanasi whose verses are also in the Guru Granth Sahib, describes the bond of the devotee and the Lord through images of complete union: if you are sandalwood, I am the water that takes on your fragrance; if you are the lamp, I am the wick that burns day and night.
