Doha 219
सुनु सुरेस उपदेसु हमारा। रामहि सेवकु परम पिआरा॥ मानत सुखु सेवक सेवकाईं। सेवक बैर बैरु अधिकाईं॥१॥
जद्यपि सम नहिं राग न रोषू। गहहिं न पाप पूनु गुन दोषू॥ करम प्रधान बिस्व करि राखा। जो जस करइ सो तस फलु चाखा॥२॥
तदपि करहिं सम बिषम बिहारा। भगत अभगत हृदय अनुसारा॥ अगुन अलेप अमान एकरस। रामु सगुन भए भगत पेम बस॥३॥
राम सदा सेवक रुचि राखी। बेद पुरान साधु सुर साखी॥ अस जियँ जानि तजहु कुटिलाई। करहु भरत पद प्रीति सुहाई॥४॥
Meaning
“Hear my advice, O king of gods! A devotee is supremely dear to Śrī Rāma; He is gratified through service rendered to His devotees, but those who are hostile to them incur His great aversion. (1) “Even though the Lord is alike to all without either love or anger and receives neither sin nor virtue, neither merit nor demerit, and even though He has made ‘Karma’ (Fate) the ruling factor in this world, so that one reaps what one sows; (2) “Yet according as one possesses the heart of a devotee or an unbeliever, He appears to be loving or averse in His dealings. Though devoid of attributes, unattached, free from pride and ever abiding in His ethereal aspect, Śrī Rāma has assumed a human form yielding to the love of His devotees. (3) “Śrī Rāma has ever cared for the wishes of His devotees: the Vedas and Purāṇas as well as saints and gods bear testimony to this. Bearing this in mind give up perversity and cherish earnest love for Bharata’s feet. (4)
राम भगत परहित निरत पर दुख दुखी दयाल। भगत सिरोमनि भरत तें जनि डरपहु सुरपाल॥२१९॥
Meaning
“Śrī Rāma’s devotees are actively engaged in doing good to others, share the sorrows of others and are compassionate by nature. And Bharata is the very crest-jewel of devotees; therefore, be not afraid of him, O Ruler of gods. (219)
