What happens in this chapter

Wake from moha and love Rama's feet

Lakshmana goes on: knowing this, do not be angry or blame anyone in vain. In the night of moha all are asleep, dreaming many dreams. Only yogis, seekers of the highest truth who stand apart from the world's show, are awake. A soul has woken when it turns from every sensual pleasure; then discernment rises, delusion flees, and love for Raghunatha's feet is born. The supreme goal, friend, is love for Rama's feet in mind, deed and word. Rama is Brahman, unseen, beginningless, beyond change, whom the Vedas call 'not this, not this'. For devotees, earth, Brahmanas, cows and devas, he takes a human body, and hearing his deeds dissolves the world's net.

93.1

अस बिचारि नहिं कीजिय रोसू । काहुहि बादि न देइअ दोषू ॥
मोह-निसाँ सब सोवनिहारा । देखिय सपन अनेक प्रकारा ॥

asa bicāri nahiṃ kījiya rosū | kāhuhi bādi na deia doṣū ||
moha-nisām̐ saba sovanihārā | dekhiya sapana aneka prakārā ||

93.2

एहिं जग-जामिनि जागहिं जोगी । परमारथी प्रपञ्च बियोगी ॥
जानिय तबहिँ जीव जग जागा । जब सब बिषय-बिलास बिरागा ॥

ehiṃ jaga-jāmini jāgahiṃ jogī | paramārathī prapañca biyogī ||
jāniya tabahim̐ jīva jaga jāgā | jaba saba biṣaya-bilāsa birāgā ||

93.3

होइ बिबेक मोह भ्रम भागा । तब रघुनाथ चरन अनुरागा ॥
सखा परम परमारथ एहू । मन क्रम बचन राम-पद नेहू ॥

hoi bibeka moha bhrama bhāgā | taba raghunātha carana anurāgā ||
sakhā parama paramāratha ehū | mana krama bacana rāma-pada nehū ||

93.4

राम ब्रह्म परमारथ रूपा । अबिगत अलख अनादि अनूपा ॥
सकल बिकार रहित गत भेदा । कहि नित नेति निरूपहिँ बेदा ॥

rāma brahma paramāratha rūpā | abigata alakha anādi anūpā ||
sakala bikāra rahita gata bhedā | kahi nita neti nirūpahim̐ bedā ||

दो॰ 93Doha

भगत भूमि भूसुर सुरभि, सुर हित लागि कृपाल ।
करत चरित धरि मनुज तनु, सुनत मिटहि जग जाल ॥

bhagata bhūmi bhūsura surabhi, sura hita lāgi kṛpāla |
karata carita dhari manuja tanu, sunata miṭahi jaga jāla ||
