Doha 86
अब सुनु परम बिमल मम बानी। सत्य सुगम निगमादि बखानी॥ निज सिद्धांत सुनावउँ तोही। सुनु मन धरु सब तजि भजु मोही॥१॥
मम माया संभव संसारा। जीव चराचर बिबिधि प्रकारा॥ सब मम प्रिय सब मम उपजाए। सब ते अधिक मनुज मोहि भाए॥२॥
तिन्ह महँ द्विज द्विज महँ श्रुतिधारी। तिन्ह महुँ निगम धरम अनुसारी॥ तिन्ह महँ प्रिय बिरक्त पुनि ग्यानी। ग्यानिहु ते अति प्रिय बिग्यानी॥३॥
तिन्ह ते पुनि मोहि प्रिय निज दासा। जेहि गति मोरि न दूसरि आसा॥ पुनि पुनि सत्य कहउँ तोहि पाहीं। मोहि सेवक सम प्रिय कोउ नाहीं॥४॥
भगति हीन बिरंचि किन होई। सब जीवहु सम प्रिय मोहि सोई॥ भगतिवंत अति नीचउ प्रानी। मोहि प्रानप्रिय असि मम बानी॥५॥
Meaning
“Now listen to My most sacred teaching, which is not only true and easily intelligible but has also been repeated by the Vedas and other scriptures. I tell you My own conclusion; listen to it and imprint it on your mind, and forswearing everything else, worship Me. (1) “This world with all its varieties of life, both moving and motionless, is a creation of my Māyā (delusive potency). I love them all, because all are My creatures. But human beings are the dearest to Me of all. (2) “Of human beings, the Brāhmaṇas; of the Brāhmaṇas, those well-versed in the Vedas; of these, again, those that follow the course of conduct prescribed in the Vedas; of these latter, those who are averse to the pleasure of sense are dear to Me, and yet more, the wise; of the wise too, I love a man of realization all the more. (3) “Even more beloved to Me than these, is my own servant (devotee), who solely depends on Me and has no other prop. Again and again I repeat to you the truth that no one is so dear to Me as My devotee. (4) “If Brahmā (the Creator) too had no devotion to Me, he would be only as dear to Me as any other creature. And the humblest living creature if possessed of Devotion, is dear to Me as life: such is My nature. (5)
सुचि सुसील सेवक सुमति प्रिय कहु काहि न लाग। श्रुति पुरान कह नीति असि सावधान सुनु काग॥८६॥
Meaning
