Vaishnav is the one who has been addicted to the elixir of the name of God


Nama Article 6th December 2007
 

Sant Narasimha Mehta

 

Meaning:

 

One who is a Vaishnav, feels and understands the pain of others

Does good to others, especially to those who are in misery

Does not let pride enter his mind,

 

A Vaishnav, honours and praises the the entire world

Does not criticize or say bad things about anyone

Keeps his words, actions and thoughts pure

O Vaishnav, your mother is blessed

 

A Vaishnav sees everything and everyone equally,

rejects greed and avarice

Respects women especially some one else's wife as his mother

His toungue may get tired, but will never speak lies

He does not even touch someone else's property

 

A Vaishnav does not succumb to worldly attachments

Who has devoted himself to staunch detachment from worldly pleasures

Who has been addicted to the elixir of the name of God

For whom all the sacred places of pilgrimage are in the mind

 

Who has no greed and is not deceitful

Who has renounced lust and anger

The poet Narsi would like to see such a person

By whose virtue, his entire family gets salvation

 

Song:

 

vaishnav jan to tene kahiye jay peerh paraaye janneyray

par dukkhey upkar karey teeyey, man abhiman na anney ray

 

sakal lokma sahuney bandhey, ninda na karey kainee ray

baach kaachh, man nischal raakhey, dhan-dhan jananee tainee ray

 

samdrishi nay trishna tyagee, par-stree jaynay mat ray

vivihva thaki asatya na bolay, par-dhan nav jhaley haath ray

 

moh maaya vyaayey nahin jeynay, dridth vairagya jana manma ray

ram-nam-shoom taalee laagee, sakal teerth seyna tanma ray

 

vanloohee nay kapat rahit chhay, kaam, krodh nivarya ray

bhane narsinhyo tainoo darshan karta kul ekotair taarya re.
