एतना मन आनत खगराया । रघुपति प्रेरित ब्यापी माया ॥
सो माया न दुखद मोहि काहीं । आन जीव इव संसृत नाहीं ॥
etanā mana ānata khagarāyā | raghupati prerita byāpī māyā ||
so māyā na dukhada mohi kāhīṃ | āna jīva iva saṃsṛta nāhīṃ ||

Chapter 78: Jiva and Ishvara, and no rest without bhajan

What happens in this chapter
Jiva and Ishvara, and no rest without bhajan
The moment that thought came, Bhushundi tells Garuda, maya sent by Raghupati spread over him. It did not bind him as it binds others, and he explains why. Unbroken knowledge belongs to Sita's Lord alone; every moving and unmoving jiva is under maya. If all had the same unchanging knowledge, how would Ishvara and jiva differ? The proud jiva is ruled by maya, and maya, mine of the gunas, is ruled by Ishvara. The difference maya makes is false, yet without Hari it does not go by any crore of means. One who wants nirvana without Ramachandra's bhajan, though learned, is a beast without tail or horns. Sixteen full moons and every hill ablaze will not end night without the sun.
नाथ इहाँ कछु कारन आना । सुनहु सो सावधान हरिजाना ॥
ज्ञान अखंड एक सीताबर । माया बस्य जीव सचराचर ॥
nātha ihām̐ kachu kārana ānā | sunahu so sāvadhāna harijānā ||
jñāna akhaṃḍa eka sītābara | māyā basya jīva sacarācara ||
जौँ सब कें रह ज्ञान एकरस । ईस्वर जीवहि भेद कहहु कस ॥
माया बस्य जीव अभिमानी । ईस बस्य माया गुन खानी ॥
jaum̐ saba keṃ raha jñāna ekarasa | īsvara jīvahi bheda kahahu kasa ||
māyā basya jīva abhimānī | īsa basya māyā guna khānī ||
परबस जीव स्वबस भगवन्ता । जीव अनेक एक श्रीकन्ता ॥
मुधा भेद जद्यपि कृत माया । बिनु हरि जाइ न कोटि उपाया ॥
parabasa jīva svabasa bhagavantā | jīva aneka eka śrīkantā ||
mudhā bheda jadyapi kṛta māyā | binu hari jāi na koṭi upāyā ||
रामचन्द्र के भजन बिनु, जो चह पद निर्बान ।
ज्ञानबन्त अपि सो नर, पसु बिनु पूँछ बिषान ॥
rāmacandra ke bhajana binu, jo caha pada nirbāna |
jñānabanta api so nara, pasu binu pūm̐cha biṣāna ||
राकापति षोड़स उअहिं, तारागन समुदाइ ।
सकल गिरिन्ह दव लाइअ, बिनु रबि राति न जाई ॥
rākāpati ṣor̤asa uahiṃ, tārāgana samudāi |
sakala girinha dava lāia, binu rabi rāti na jāī ||
