Maro ve jogi maro,Marana hai mitha |
Tisa marani maro jisa,Marani gorakha mari ditha ||
O Yogi die; die to the world(being absorbed in the yogic state of
deep trance). Such death is sweet. Die in the manner of Goraksa who
‘died’ (to the world) and then saw the Invisible.
Habaki na boliba thabaki na,Caliba dhire dhariva pavam |
Garaba na kariba sahajai, Rahiba bhanata gorasa ravam ||
Speak not in haste (without understanding), walk not in haste
(without knowing the path). Take slow cautious steps (in the path of
yoga). Let not pride overtake you. Lead a simple life (free of
passions), says Goraksanath.
Goraksa kahai suna hare avadhu, Jaga mai aisai rahanam |
Amse desiba kanai suniva, Musa thai kachu na kahana ||
Goraksha says: Listen, O Avadhuta, this is how you should lead your
life in this world. See with your eyes (the illusions of the world),
hear with your ears but never speak. Just be a dispassionate witness
to the happenings around you. Do not react.
Asana drdha ahara drdha, Jo nidra drdha hoya |
Natha kahem suna balaka, Mare na budha hoya ||
Goraksa says one who remains steadfast in observing his sadhna
keeping his spiritual practice, food habits and sleeping habits
under strict yogic discipline (renouncing the pleasures of the body
and lethargy) neither grows old nor dies.
Siva Goraksa yaha mantra, Hai sarv sukho ka sara |
Japo baitha ekanta mem, Tana ki sudhi bisara ||
Goraksa says- Om Siva Goraksa Yogi is the mantra, which is the
substance of all true joys. One should repair to a solitary place
and chant this mantra so devoutly that he becomes oblivious of his
own body
Siva goraksa subhanama, Me sakti bhari agadha |
Lene se haim tara, Gaye nica koti ke vyadha ||
Om Siva Goraksa Yogi- this auspicious mantra contains measureless
sakti (power). It is so powerful that even sinners of the worst kind
have attained moksa just by chanting this mantra.
Ajapa jape sunya mara dhare, Pamcom indriya nigraha kare |
Brahma agni mem home kaya, Tasu mahadeva bande paya ||
Goralsa says he who chants the name vocally or non-vocally (japa –
ajapa), meditates, controls the five senses (withdrawing) from their
pleasures and burns his body in dhayna brahmagni (the holy fire of
Brahma) finds Mahadeva.
Mana murakha samajhe, Nahim yoga marg ki bata |
Ati cancal bhatakata phire, Kare bahuta utpata ||
The mind is dull and fails to comprehend the secret of the yogamarga
(the path of yoga). It is very capricious and is always engaged in
mischief (non spiritual activities), thus causing a man to drift
away from the true path.
Mana mandira mem vasa hai,Papa punya ka jnana |
Punya rupa mana sudha hai, Papa asudh mahana ||
The mind itself is the abode of the good as well as of the evil. One
may either let the good prevail or may allow free play to the evil
instincts. This mind is pure and pious only when it lets the good in
it prosper. If the mind promotes the evil instincts residing in it
then it becomes impure and impious. Yogamarga is the means by which
the mind can be trained to promote and sustain the good instincts. |
