Chaupai Text

संत हृदय नवनीत समाना। कहा कबिन्ह परि कहै न जाना॥ निज परिताप द्रवइ नवनीता। पर दुख द्रवहिं संत सुपुनीता॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

santa hṛdaya navanīta samānā। kahā kabinha pari kahai na jānā॥ nija paritāpa dravai navanītā। para dukha dravahiṃ santa supunītā॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

The heart of the saints is like butter, so the poets have said; yet they did not know the deeper truth. Butter melts under heat, but the pure saints melt at the suffering of others.
