Doha 87b
एक पिता के बिपुल कुमारा। होहिं पृथक गुन सील अचारा॥ कोउ पंडित कोउ तापस ग्याता। कोउ धनवंत सूर कोउ दाता॥१॥
कोउ सर्बग्य धर्मरत कोई। सब पर पितहि प्रीति सम होई॥ कोउ पितु भगत बचन मन कर्मा। सपनेहुँ जान न दूसर धर्मा॥२॥
सो सुत प्रिय पितु प्रान समाना। जद्यपि सो सब भाँति अयाना॥ एहि बिधि जीव चराचर जेते। त्रिजग देव नर असुर समेते॥३॥
अखिल बिस्व यह मोर उपाया। सब पर मोहि बराबरि दाया॥ तिन्ह महँ जो परिहरि मद माया। भजै मोहि मन बच अरु काया॥४॥

A ninth son is devoted to his father in thought, word and deed and never dreams of any other duty. (2) “This is the son whom the father loves as his own life, though he be an ignoramus in everyway. In a like manner, all animate and inanimate beings, including the sub human species, gods, men and demons, (3) “in short, the whole of this universe is My creation and I am equally compassionate to all. Of these, however, he who adores Me in thought, word and deed, forswearing arrogance and wiles, (4)
पुरुष नपुंसक नारि वा जीव चराचर कोइ। सर्ब भाव भज कपट तजि मोहि परम प्रिय सोइ॥८७ (क)॥
सत्य कहउँ खग तोहि सुचि सेवक मम प्रानप्रिय। अस बिचारि भजु मोहि परिहरि आस भरोस सब॥८७ (ख)॥

“be it man, woman or one lacking the characteristics of both, or, for the matter of that, any living being whatsoever of the animate or inanimate world—he who adores Me with all his being, giving up all guile, is supremely dear to Me.
