Doha 116
सगुनहि अगुनहि नहिं कछु भेदा। गावहिं मुनि पुरान बुध बेदा॥ अगुन अरूप अलख अज जोई। भगत प्रेम बस सगुन सो होई॥१॥
जो गुन रहित सगुन सोइ कैसें। जलु हिम उपल बिलग नहिं जैसें॥ जासु नाम भ्रम तिमिर पतंगा। तेहि किमि कहिअ बिमोह प्रसंगा॥२॥
राम सच्चिदानंद दिनेसा। नहिं तहँ मोह निसा लवलेसा॥ सहज प्रकासरूप भगवाना। नहिं तहँ पुनि बिग्यान बिहाना॥३॥
हरष बिषाद ग्यान अग्याना। जीव धर्म अहमिति अभिमाना॥ राम ब्रह्म ब्यापक जग जाना। परमानंद परेस पुराना॥४॥
Meaning
“There is no difference between Saguṇa Divinity and Nirguṇa Brahma: so declare the sages and men of wisdom, the Vedas and the Purāṇas. That which is attributeless and formless, imperceptible and unborn, becomes Saguṇa–Sākāra under the influence of the devotee’s love. (1) “How the Absolute formless becomes with form (Saguṇa)? In the same way as water and the hail-stone are not different in substance (so is Nirguṇa and Saguṇa are the same). Infatuation is out of the question for Him whose very Name is like the sun to the darkness of delusion. (2) “Śrī Rāma, who is Truth, Consciousness and Bliss combined, is like the sun; the night of ignorance cannot subsist in Him even to the minutest extent. He is the Lord whose very being is light; there is no dawn of understanding in His case (For the dawn presupposes night and night there is none in the sunlight of Śrī Rāma). (3) “Joy and grief, knowledge and ignorance, egoism and pride—these are the characteristics of a Jīva (finite being). Śrī Rāma is the all-pervading Brahma; He is supreme bliss personified, the highest lord and the most ancient Being. The whole world knows it. (4)
पुरुष प्रसिद्ध प्रकास निधि प्रगट परावर नाथ। रघुकुलमनि मम स्वामि सोइ कहि सिवँ नायउ माथ॥११६॥
Meaning
“He who is universally known as the Spirit, the fount of light, manifest in all forms and is the lord of all living beings (Jīva), Māyā (Divine Potency), as well as of matter, that Jewel of Raghus, Śrī Rāma, is my Master.” So saying, Śiva bowed His head to Him. (116)
