Matu pita gur bipr na manahi

Chaupai Text

मातु पिता गुर बिप्र न मानहिं। आपु गए अरु घालहिं आनहिं॥ करहिं मोह बस द्रोह परावा। संत संग हरि कथा न भावा॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

mātu pitā guru bipra na mānahiṃ। āpu gae aru ghālahiṃ ānahiṃ॥ karahiṃ moha basa droha parāvā। saṃta saṃga hari kathā na bhāvā॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

They do not honor mother, father, guru, or Brahmin. They themselves are ruined, and they ruin others as well. Deluded by attachment, they commit hostility. Neither the company of saints nor the story of the Lord pleases them.
