Doha 46
कहहु भगति पथ कवन प्रयासा। जोग न मख जप तप उपवासा॥ सरल सुभाव न मन कुटिलाई। जथा लाभ संतोष सदाई॥१॥
मोर दास कहाइ नर आसा। करइ तौ कहहु कहा बिस्वासा॥ बहुत कहउँ का कथा बढ़ाई। एहि आचरन बस्य मैं भाई॥२॥
बैर न बिग्रह आस न त्रासा। सुखमय ताहि सदा सब आसा॥ अनारंभ अनिकेत अमानी। अनघ अरोष दच्छ बिग्यानी॥३॥
प्रीति सदा सज्जन संसर्गा। तृन सम बिषय स्वर्ग अपबर्गा॥ भगति पच्छ हठ नहिं सठताई। दुष्ट तर्क सब दूरि बहाई॥४॥
Meaning
“Tell Me what hard labours are involved in treading the path of Devotion: it requires neither Yoga (mind-control), nor sacrifices, nor Japa (muttering of prayers), nor penance, nor fasting. A guileless disposition, a mind free from perversity and absolute contentment with whatever one may get—this is all that is needed. (1) “If he who is called a devotee yet counts upon man, tell me, what faith does he have in Me? What use My prolonging the subject further: I am won over by the conduct of a man as depicted below, O brethren: (2) “He who has no enmity or quarrel with anyone and is devoid of expectation (hope) and fear—to such a man all the quarters are ever full of joy. Undertaking nothing (with an interested motive), without one’s own home (he who does not have attachment in the home), without pride and without sin, free from wrath, diligent and alert in devotion, (3) “Ever loving the company of saints and accounting the enjoyments even of heaven as well as final beatitude as no more than a blade of grass, tenaciously adhering to the cult of Devotion but avoiding bigotry, and giving up all perverse (sophistical) reasoning, (4)
मम गुन ग्राम नाम रत गत ममता मद मोह। ता कर सुख सोइ जानइ परानंद संदोह॥४६॥
Meaning
“fond of singing and hearing My glories and devoted to My Name, and free from attachment to the world, arrogance and infatuation—the felicity that such a man enjoys is known to him alone who has become one with God, the embodiment of supreme bliss.”(46)
