Chaupai Text
तातें गुपुत रहउँ जग माहीं। हरि तजि किमपि प्रयोजन नाहीं॥ प्रभु जानत सब बिनहिं जनाएँ। कहहु कवनि सिधि लोक रिझाएँ॥ १ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
tāteṁ guputa rahauṁ jaga māhīṁ। hari taji kimapi prayojana nāhīṁ॥ prabhu jānata saba binahiṁ janāeṁ। kahahu kavani sidhi loka rijhāeṁ॥ 1 ॥
Meaning
For this reason I remain hidden in the world. Leaving Hari aside, I have no purpose with anyone. The Lord knows everything even without being told. So tell me, what gain is there in pleasing the world?
