“गुरु कुम्हार, शिष्य कुंभ है, गढ़ गढ़ काड़े खोट, अंदर हाथ सहारा दे, बाहर मारे चोट”
ताकि यह घट (our mind) सुगढ़ (strong with 100% faith) हो
जाए, सुंदर
हो जाए
(कुम्हार
= potter - likened to Lord/ guru, कुंभ = a pitcher
likened to a disciple / devotee, गढ = etching, काड़े = to remove, खोट = impurities / faults)
Exactly like a potter who beats the clay body outside but gives support from inside, to remove the impurities / faults & to give the vessel a perfect shape, likewise, though His bhakta gets a lot of difficulties/gets roughed up / faces lot of unfavourable circumstances in outside worldly life, God supports His bhakta from "inside"
भीतर से वोही साधता है
He only "shapes"/"moulds “you
from inside but only those whom He desires & deems fit / eligible for "shaping" / "moulding" to make them
eligible for entering His eternal abode of bliss ,i.e., only to those who make an effort to reach God
- by sincere effort of His devotee, His grace (कृपा) is triggered.
If one does not make an effort to reach God, then Lord is
indifferent to him/her & such persons keep suffering in 84 lakh yonis.
इसीलिए कहते हैं "कारण करावण हार आप"
सब "करता” (cause / कारण) भी वोही है, सब कुछ "कराता” (करावण हार)
भी वोही है
Although He is "करता” (cause / कारण) but in His magnanimity & give freedom of action (कर्म का अधिकार) to his beings (जीव), He first waits for the first step trigger
signal from us humans by way of our showing sincere effort & diversion of
mind towards Him. Then correspondingly, He takes 10 steps towards the devotee
& guides / inspires him from within.
If God sitting inside the heart of each one
does not "will” it or does not lend a helping hand
If God sitting inside the heart, does not
give inspiration
Then, man cannot progress even one step towards spirituality*
अगर ह्रदय में बैठा प्रभु भजन में सहयोगी न हो
अगर अंतर्मन में बैठा भगवान प्रेरणा न दें
तो एक पग भी जीव भजन के पथ पर आगे नहीं बड़ सकता
