(Raag Vibhas)
Nitya Vihar Son Kari Priti.
Sang Rasik Ananya Anusari, Bhaav Bhakti Prateeti. [1]
Dhyaan Chit Chintaa Raho Nitya, Maani Rasik Ki Reeti.
Laal Roop Viloki Dampati, Lakhi Jagat Bipareeti. [2]
- Shri Roop Sakhi, Roop Sakhi Ji Ki Vani, Siddhant Ke Pad (61)
Develop love for the nitya-vihāra-rasa (the eternal love-plays of the Divine Couple), for that alone is the very essence of life for the ananya rāsika saints. By associating with such exalted rāsikas and walking in their footsteps, firm faith in this path of devotion naturally awakens within the heart. [1]
Firmly grasp and adopt the mode of divine love followed in the rāsika tradition, and constantly engage your contemplation, mind, and heart in that rasa. Śrī Rūpa Sakhī declares—when the Divine Couple, Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, appear vividly both in outward vision and inward meditation, then all worldly pursuits and pleasures seem utterly insignificant. [2]
