श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
गृहान्धकृपन्निर्गत्य विविक्तं स्थानमागतः |
रामनाम जपेन्नित्यं कोटिक्ष्चितयन् प्रभुम् ||
किं दारैः किं सुतैलोके जरामरणसङ्कुले |
किं बन्धुभिर्धनैर्वापि विना श्रीरामदर्शनम् ||
दृढविक्ष्वाससंयुक्तो नामकीर्तनतत्परः |
प्रेमभक्तिमवाप्यैव कक्ष्चित्पश्यति राघवम् ||
लोकेsस्मिन् परमो लाभः परमानन्दवर्धनः |
साक्षात्कारो रघुपतेर्दृढया भक्तिनिष्ठया ||
तादृशं दृढवैराग्यं न चेदेवं गृहे वसन् |
गृहधर्माविरोधेन कीर्तयद्रघुनन्दनम् ||
Shri Sadguru said
One should get out of the deep, dry well of family life, reach a solitary place, meditate upon the Lord and chant the Divine Name of Shri Rama. What benefit does one derive out of the possession of wealth, riches, relatives, wife and children in this world afflicted with old age and health, when the darshan of Shri Rama is not got? One who chants Rama Nama with firm faith acquired premature Bhakti and ultimately gets the darshan of Shri Rama. Meeting Shri Rama face to face, as a result of firm faith, is the only joyous reward one can get on this earth. If one does not have such firm faith, one should stay at home and do Rama bhajan in such a way that it does not hinder the discharge of the household duties.
