Narsimha Mehta

Vaishnav Jan To

Speak only as godlike of the man who feels another's pain Who shares another's sorrow and pride does disdain Who regards himself lowliest of the low Speaks not a word of evil against anyone Blessed is the mother who gave birth to such a son Who looks upon everyone as his equal, Lust he has renounced Who honors women like he honors his mother Whose tongue knows not the taste of falsehood Nor covets another's worldly goods Who longs not for worldly wealth (or fame) For he treads the path of renunciation Ever on his lips is Ram's holy name All places of pilgrimage are within him He has conquered greed, is free of deceit, lust and anger Through him Narsinh has godly vision And his generation to come will attain salvation.
