(1) Mārā harjī shu het na dīse re

Narsinha Mehta

In this kirtan by Narsinha Mehta, the message is to abandon the company of kusangis who do not have love for God. Muktanand Swami has written a similar kirtan that complements this kirtan - ‘ Mārā vā’lājī shu vā’lap dīse re’, where the message is to never abandon the company of satsangis who have love for God.

Mārā harjī shu het na dīse re, tene gher shīd jaīe,

Why should we go to the home of one who does not have love for Bhagwan?

Tene sange shīd rahīe re...

Why should we keep his company?

Het vinā hukāro na devo, jenu harakheshu haiḍu na hīse re;

One should not respond to someone whose heart does not become enthusiastic upon meeting them.

Āgaḷ jaīne vāt vistāre, jenī ānkhyumā prem na dīse re... tene 1

Why approach one who does not appear to have love for Bhagwan in his eyes. Why should we go to his home?

Bhaktibhāvno bhed na jāṇe ne, bhurāyo thaīne bhāḷe re;

One who does not understand the way of bhakti and looks upon without any feelings...

Lalīt līlāne range na rāche, pachhī ulechī andhāru ṭāḷe re... tene 2

Why meet someone who does not have interest in the divine incidents of Bhagwan and tries to cure his own ignorance?

Nām taṇo vishvās na āve, ne ūnḍu te ūnḍu shodhe re;

He does not have faith in Bhagwan’s name and tries to find their own spirituality.

Jāhnvī tīre tarang tajīne, pachhī taṭmā jaīne kūp khode re... tene 3

Why meet someone who would disregard the nearby Ganga River and dig his own well (i.e., disregards Bhagwan and looks for their own spirituality).

Potānā sarkhī karīne jāṇe, Purushottamnī kāyā re;

He considers the body of Bhagwan equal to his own (i.e., he understands Bhagwan to be like a human).

Narsaiyānā Swāmīnī līlā, olyā matīyā kahe chhe māyā re... tene 4

Certain people claim the divine actions of Narsinha Mehta’s Bhagwan as false. Why should we go to meet them?
