Chaupai Text

एहिं जग जामिनि जागहिं जोगी। परमारथी प्रपंच बियोगी॥ जानिअ तबहिं जीव जग जागा। जब सब बिषय बिलास बिरागा॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

ehiṃ jaga jāmini jāgahiṃ jogī। paramārathī prapaṃca biyogī॥ jānia tabahiṃ jīva jaga jāgā। jaba saba biṣaya bilāsa birāgā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

In this night of the world, yogis remain awake—those who seek the highest truth and are detached from worldly illusion. A living being is truly awake in the world only when all attachment to sensual enjoyments has departed.
