Bāla Kāṇḍa·Dohā 22·D.22·161 of 166
सकल कामना हीन जे, राम भगति रस लीन।
नाम सुप्रेम पियूष हद, तिन्हहुँ किए मन मीन॥22॥
sakala kāmanā hīna je, rāma bhagati rasa līna |
nāma suprema piyūṣa hada, tinhahũ kie mana mīna ||22||
English Rendering
Even those who are free of every desire, absorbed in the nectar of Rāma-devotion itself, have made their minds into fish in the ocean of pure love for the Name.
हिन्दी अनुवाद
जो सकल कामनाओं से रहित हैं और श्रीराम की भक्ति-रस में लीन हैं — उन्होंने भी नाम के शुद्ध प्रेम-रूपी अमृत-सागर में अपने मन को मछली बना दिया है।
Context — Editorial
The dohā that completes the four-fold meditation. The highest category — those who want nothing, not even liberation — are shown making the one choice that was never a requirement: they take the Name as their lifelong element. Fish do not survive outside water; love does not survive outside the Name.
