(Raag Vibhaas)
Jyauhee-Jyauhee Tum Raakhat Hau, Tyauhee-Tyauhee Rahiyat Hau, Ho Hari. [1]
Aur Tau Acharache Paaṅay Dharauṅ So Tau Kahau, Kaun Ke Paiṅḍ Bhari? [2]
Jadyapi Kiyou Chaahaun, Apanau Manabhaayau, So Tau Kyon Kari Sakauṅ, Jo Tum Raakha Pakari. [3]
Kahin Shreeharidas Pinjara Ke Janavar Laun, Tarapharay Rahyau Uḍibe Kaun Kitauu Kari. [4]
- Swami Shri Haridas Ji, Ashtadash Pada (01)
O Lord Bankebihari, in whatever way You choose to keep me, I shall remain steadfast in that state. [1]
Without Your grace, I cannot take even a single step in this journey of life; how then can I attain the ultimate goal of human existence, which is the realization of God? [2]
Although nothing can transpire without Your divine will, the nature of the mind is to wander aimlessly. The crux of the matter is that You have captured me through Your boundless grace, making it impossible for me to stray from the path. [3]
The supreme connoisseur of divine love, Shri Haridas Ji Maharaj, imparts this wisdom: “Just as a bird captured in a cage cannot soar freely, so too is the soul ensnared by the unbreakable bonds of Maya – entangled in the web of lust, anger, greed, attachment, and false ego. Only through the grace of Shri Bihariji can one break free from Maya’s clutches.” [4]
