जो तू चाहे मुक्ति को , छोड़ दे सबकी आस |
मुक्त ही जैसा हो रहे , सब कुछ तेरे पास ||
If you want salvation you should end all desires. Once you gain salvation you gain everything.
ते दिन गए अकार्थी , सांगत भाई न संत |
प्रेम बिना पशु जीवन , भक्ति बिना भगवंत ||
I wasted those days when I didn’t meet good people. A person without love is a beast. There is no divinity without love. |
तीर तुपक से जो लादे , सो तो शूर न होय |
माया तजि भक्ति करे , सूर कहावै सोय ||
The one who fights with bows and arrows is not valiant. The real valiant is the one who shuns delusion and becomes a devotee. |
तन को जोगी सब करे , मन को बिरला कोय |
सहजी सब बिधि पिये , जो मन जोगी होय ||
It is very easy to put marks of a sage on body but it is very difficult to make marks of sage on mind. If one becomes a sage at the level of mind he is at ease while doing anything. |
नहाये धोये क्या हुआ , जो मन मेल न जाय |
मीन सदा जल में रही , धोये बॉस न जाय ||
What is the point in washing and cleaning? A fish remains in water always and it has a very bad smell. |
पांच पहर धंधा किया , तीन पहर गया सोय |
एक पहर भी नाम बिन , मुक्ति कैसे होय ||
I did something to earn my livelihood during the day and slept in the night. I didn’t chant God’s name even for 3 hours, how can I attain salvation. |
पत्ता बोला वृक्ष से , सुनो वृक्ष बनराय |
अब के बिछड़े न मिले , दूर पड़ेंगे जाय ||
A leaf says to a tree that it is going away forever and there won’t be any reunion now. |
माया छाया एक सी , बिरला जाने कोय |
भागत के पीछे लगे , सन्मुख भागे सोय ||
A shadow and a delusion are alike. They chase them who run away and disappear from their sight that looks at them. |
या दुनिया में आ कर , छड़ी डे तू एट |
लेना हो सो लिले , उठी जात है पैठ ||
One should not swagger here. One should do all the deals without wasting any time as the working hours will be soon over. |
रात गवई सोय के दिवस गवाया खाय |
हीरा जन्म अनमोल था , कौड़ी बदले जाय ||
In the night I slept and in the day I ate. This is how I passed my whole life that was as valuable as a diamond. |
