Indrinh suranhi na gyan sohai
Chaupai 8, Under Doha 118 · Uttar Kand
Chaupai Text
इंद्रिन्ह सुरन्ह न ग्यान सोहाई। बिषय भोग पर प्रीति सदाई॥ बिषय समीर बुद्धि कृत भोरी। तेहि बिधि दीप को बार बहोरी॥ ८ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
indrinha suranha na gyāna sohāī। biṣaya bhoga para prīti sadāī॥ biṣaya samīra buddhi kṛta bhorī। tehi bidhi dīpa ko bāra bahorī॥ 8 ॥
Meaning
Knowledge does not please the senses and their presiding deities, for their attachment is always to sense pleasures. And the breeze of sense-objects has made the intellect mad. Then who can light that lamp of knowledge again in the same way?
