Doha 119b
ग्यान पंथ कृपान कै धारा। परत खगेस होइ नहिं बारा॥ जो निर्बिघ्न पंथ निर्बहई। सो कैवल्य परम पद लहई॥१॥
अति दुर्लभ कैवल्य परम पद। संत पुरान निगम आगम बद॥ राम भजत सोइ मुकुति गोसाईं। अनइच्छित आवइ बरिआईं॥२॥
जिमि थल बिनु जल रहि न सकाई। कोटि भाँति कोउ करै उपाई॥ तथा मोच्छ सुख सुनु खगराई। रहि न सकइ हरि भगति बिहाई॥३॥
अस बिचारि हरि भगत सयाने। मुक्ति निरादर भगति लुभाने॥ भगति करत बिनु जतन प्रयासा। संसृति मूल अबिद्या नासा॥ ४ ॥
भोजन करिअ तृपिति हित लागी। जिमि सो असन पचवै जठरागी॥ असि हरिभगति सुगम सुखदाई। को अस मूढ़ न जाहि सोहाई॥ ५ ॥
Meaning
“The path of knowledge is like the edge of a sword; one is apt to fall from it in no time, O king of birds. He alone who successfully treads it attains to the supreme state of final emancipation. (1) “But this supreme state of final beatitude is most difficult to attain, so declare the saints as well as the Purāṇas, Vedas and Āgamas (Tantras). By worshipping Śrī Rāma the same beatitude (most difficult to attain) comes unsolicited as if by itself. (2) “As water cannot stay except on land notwithstanding our best efforts, even so, mark you, O king of the birds, the joy of final beatitude cannot stay apart from Devotion to Śrī Hari. (3) “Realizing this, the wise devotees of Śrī Hari spurn final emancipation and remain enamoured of Devotion. By practising Devotion, ignorance, which is the root of metempsychosis, is eradicated without any effort or exertion in the same way, (4) “as we eat for our own gratification, but the gastric fire digests the food so eaten (without any effort on our part). What fool is there who does not welcome such Devotion to Śrī Hari, which is so easy and delightful at the same time? (5)
सेवक सेब्य भाव बिनु भव न तरिअ उरगारि। भजहु राम पद पंकज अस सिद्धांत बिचारि॥ ११९ (क) ॥
जो चेतन कहँ जड़ करइ जड़हि करइ चैतन्य। अस समर्थ रघुनायकहि भजहिं जीव ते धन्य॥ ११९ (ख) ॥
Meaning
“The ocean of transmigration, O Garuḍa, enemy of serpents, cannot be crossed without cultivating the same feeling towards Śrī Rāma as a loyal servant cherishes towards his master. Knowing this to be the established doctrine, adore the lotus feet of Śrī Rāma.(119 A) “Śrī Raghunātha can make the animate, inanimate and the inanimate, animate: those who adore such an omnipotent lord are blessed indeed.
