Sagunahi agunahi nahin kachhu bheda

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 116 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

सगुनहि अगुनहि नहिं कछु भेदा। गावहिं मुनि पुरान बुध बेदा॥ अगुन अरूप अलख अज जोई। भगत प्रेम बस सगुन सो होई॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

sagunahi agunahi nahiṃ kachu bhedā। gāvahiṃ muni purāna budha bedā॥ aguna arūpa alakha aja joī। bhagata prema basa saguna so hoī॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

There is no difference at all between the personal and the attributeless; sages, Puranas, scholars, and the Vedas all say so. That same one, who is attributeless, formless, unseen, and unborn, becomes personal by the power of devotion's love.
