Ehi bidhi jag hari ashrit rahai

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 118 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

एहि बिधि जग हरि आश्रित रहई। जदपि असत्य देत दुख अहई॥ जौं सपनें सिर काटै कोई। बिनु जागें न दूरि दुख होई॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

ehi vidhi jaga hari āśrita rahai। jadapi asatya deta dukha ahai॥ jaum̐ sapaneṃ sira kāṭai koī। binu jāgeṃ na dūri dukha hoī॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

In this way, the world remains dependent on Hari. Although unreal, it still gives pain; just as if someone cuts off your head in a dream, the pain does not go away until you wake up.
