Jo gun rahit sagun soi kaisen

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 116 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

जो गुन रहित सगुन सोइ कैसें। जलु हिम उपल बिलग नहिं जैसें॥ जासु नाम भ्रम तिमिर पतंगा। तेहि किमि कहिअ बिमोह प्रसंगा॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jo guna rahita saguna soi kaisẽ। jalu hima upala bilaga nahiṃ jaisẽ॥ jāsu nāma bhrama timira pataṃgā। tehi kimi kahiē bimoha prasaṃgā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

How can He who is without qualities be the same as the personal God? It is like water and ice—they are not separate. How can one speak of delusion in regard to Him whose name is like the sun for the darkness of illusion?
