Man Sudhaal Mein Dharau Aru - Shri Bhatt Devacharya, Yugal Shatak (8)

(Doha)
Man Sudhaal Mein Dharau Aru, Jiy Ju Parau Jas Jaal.
Aalas Upajau Aan Son, Laalas Pad Jug Laal.


(Pad) - (EIktal)
Nisi Din Lagi Rahau Yah Laalas.
Syama-Syam Charan Ki Seva, Bina Aan Son Upajau Aalas. [1]
Kahat Sunay Su Man Bach Kram Kari, Urajhi Rahau Jiy Jug-Jas Jaalas.
Jai Shribhatt Aghat Ghatana Mein, Dharau Sada Man Mor Sudhalas. [2]

- Shri Bhatt Devacharya, Yugal Shatak (8)

(Doha)
May my mind remain joyfully absorbed in the nectar of the divine pastimes of Śrī Śyāmā-Śyāma, as though my heart were forever entangled in the net of Their divine love. May indifference arise within me toward everything else, and may the sole longing of my heart remain fixed upon the lotus feet of the divine Couple.

(Pada)
Expressing the deepest longing of his heart for the service of the lotus feet of Śrī Yugal Kiśora, Śrī Śyāmā-Śyāma, Śrī Bhaṭṭa Jī says: “May my heart remain forever filled with an intense desire to render service at the lotus feet of Śrī Śyāmā-Śyāma, and may I become indifferent to everything apart from that. For loving service alone is the true essence of life; therefore, it is most beneficial to develop disinterest toward all worldly objects that are seen and heard.” [1]

Revealing the innermost feelings of his heart with complete sincerity in thought, word, and deed, Śrī Bhaṭṭa Jī says that the welfare of the soul is possible only when it thoroughly entangles its heart in the glorious net of the divine pastimes of Śrī Yugal Kiśora. In other words, the soul's highest duty is to remain constantly absorbed in contemplating the glories and divine qualities of Śrī Priyā and Priyatama. Finally, Śrī Bhaṭṭa Jī offers this prayer to his worshipful Lords: “O Śrī Yugal Kiśora! All glories unto You. May my mind remain forever beautifully established in the contemplation of Your wondrous and inconceivable divine pastimes.” [2]
