Braj-ras baras rahyo Braj beethin, gyani binu
jane bharmaya.
Jehi khojat gyani jan
lakhan.
Charihun Vedan ki prati
shakhan.
Hari ‘alakh’ imi lage bhakhan.
Vrindavipin sakhin anchalpat, lipat rahyo soi dhaya. (1)
Jehi Shankar ur-antar
dhyavat.
Jako bhed Ved nahin pavat.
Nirvikalp, nirlep, batavat.
Soi nikunj bich Bhanu Lali ke, charan palotat jaya. (2)
Jehi maya-vash vishva
charachar.
Brahm and-nayak Vidhi,
Hari, Har
Nachat jyaun nat paravash banar
Tehi dai chach neku si chorin, kotin nach nachaya. (3)
Jaki bhrikuti vilas
pralayakar.
Jake dar kanpat dar thar
thar.
Namahi jako bhav-bandhan-har.
Tako ukhal bandhi Yashoda, lai santi darpaya. (4)
Jehi lagi japi, tapi,
bharmavat.
Jogi jog agini jari javat.
Nij-bal kripa-kor nahin pavat.
So ‘Kripalu’ nij maya god hit, paryo dharani bilkhaya. (5)
Braj ras is being showered in the lanes of
Braj everywhere, but the gyani (who is supposed to be
knowledgeable) is confoundedly wandering in Braj without knowing it.
Hundreds of thousands of gyanis, looking for
the absolute Divinity, searched Him in the four Vedas and their
branches, and, exhausting themselves with that effort, they said in
the end that the absolute brahm is non-perceivable (alakh);
but in Braj, the same non-perceivable brahm of the gyanis as poornatam purushottam brahm Krishn, is seen frolicking with
the anchal (upper end of the sari) of the Gopis.
(1)
The delightful brahm that God Shiv meditates
upon in His heart, which is beyond the words of the Vedas (so they
describe it as ‘neti, neti’), and which is recognized (by the
Vedas) as being thoughtless and unattached; but in Braj, the same brahm, in the nikunj of Vrindaban, is seen pressing the
lotus feet of Radha Rani with great love and adoration. (2)
The supreme brahm Whose power of maya controls the total animate and inanimate existence of the universe;
and the governors of the brahmand, Brahma, Shiv and Vishnu, are
also under the control of Whose maya like the monkey of a
street entertainer; but in Braj, the same master of maya and
supreme brahm (Krishn), is seen showing His dances to the
little Brajwasi girls on the promise of receiving a bowl of
curd. (3)
The poorntam purushottam brahm Whose one wink
causes the absolute dissolution of the entire universe; the god of
death trembles with fear in Whose presence, and the glory of Whose
name is enough to terminate the bondage of maya and to make a
soul cross the endless vastness of the cosmic ocean; but in Braj, the
same almighty, absolute, and all-glorious brahm is seen tied up
with an ukhal by Mother Yashoda who is scaring Him with a thin
little stick in her hand (and asking Him as to why He ate the soil).
(4)
The supreme Divine form of God, Whose vision is
desired by millions of devout people and the ascetics through their
lifelong arduous practices, but they don’t see Him, and Who is also
searched for by the yogis who dry out their body by the heat of yogagni during the very high stage of their practice of samadhi, but they don’t find Him, because all of them have a pride
of their own doings so they never receive even a ray of His Divine
Grace; but in Braj, the same poornatam purushottam,
all-powerful God (as baby Krishn) is seen rolling on the ground,
crying and looking to mother Yashoda with pleading eyes so she can
lift Him into her lap... (This is the greatness of Braj dham.) (5) |
