Translation

وہ شہروں، دیہات، کانوں، قصبوں، وادیوں، باغوں، لشکری کیمپوں، گؤشالاؤں، گوالوں کے و्रج، سراؤں، پہاڑوں، جنگلوں اور آشرموں میں راستہ بہ راستہ سفر کرتا رہا۔ جہاں بھی جاتا، بدکردار لوگ اسے گھیر لیتے، جیسے جنگل سے آئے ہاتھی کو مکھیاں گھیر لیتی ہیں۔ اسے دھمکایا جاتا، مارا جاتا، اس پر پیشاب اور تھوک کیا جاتا؛ کبھی پتھر، گندگی اور گرد پھینکی جاتی، کبھی بدبودار ہوا چھوڑی جاتی اور کڑوی باتیں کہی جاتیں۔ مگر وہ ان سب کو نظرانداز کرتا رہا، کیونکہ وہ جانتا تھا کہ یہ جسم ایسے ہی انجام کے لیے ہے۔ وہ روحانی مقام پر قائم تھا؛ مادہ اور روح کے فرق کو پوری طرح سمجھ کر، جسمانی انا سے پاک اور کسی پر غضب کیے بغیر، اکیلا ہی ساری زمین پر گھومتا رہا۔

Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says: deha-smṛti nāhi yāra, saṁsāra bandhana kāhāṅ tāra. When a person fully realizes that the material body and world are temporary, he is not concerned with pain and pleasures of the body. As Śrī Kṛṣṇa advises in Bhagavad-gītā (2.14) :

Jaḍa Bharata (Bharata Mahārāja in his avadhūta-like stage)

FAQs

This verse describes Jaḍa Bharata being insulted in many ways yet remaining unaffected, showing that one fixed in the self and free from “I” and “mine” does not become disturbed by honor or dishonor.

He moved through towns and forests as a detached renunciant, appearing externally degraded, and worldly people—unable to recognize his inner realization—harassed him; he accepted it without reaction, remaining established in his spiritual identity.

Practice reducing ego-based identification, remember that praise and blame are temporary, and respond without retaliation—keeping the mind steady by anchoring identity in the soul and devotion rather than social approval.
