Chaupai Text
सो सुतंत्र अवलंब न आना। तेहि आधीन ग्यान बिग्याना॥ भगति तात अनुपम सुखमूला। मिलइ जो संत होइँ अनुकूला॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
so sutaṃtra avalaṃba na ānā। tehi ādhīna gyāna bigyānā॥ bhagati tāta anupama sukhamūlā। milai jo saṃta hoiṃ anukūlā॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
That bhakti is independent; it needs no support from any other means. Knowledge and higher discernment are subject to it. O friend, bhakti is incomparable and the root of all joy; it is obtained only when the saints are favorably disposed.
