Vaishnava jana to

Vaiṣhṇava jana to tene kahiye je
peeṛ paraayee jaaṇe re
Para duhkhe upakaara kare toye
mana abhimaana naa aaṇe re

Sakal loka maan sahune vande
neendaa na kare kenee re
Vaaca kaacha mana nishchala raakhe
dhana dhana jananee tenee re

Sama-driṣhṭee ne triṣhṇaa tyaagee
para-stree jene maata re
Jihvaa thakee asatya na bole
paradhana nava jhaale haatha re

Moha maayaa vyaape nahee jene
dridha-vairaagya jenaa manamaa re
Raama-naama shun taalee re laagee
sakala teeratha tenaa tanamaan re

Vaṇa-lobhee ne kapata-rahita chhe
kaama krodha nivaaryaa re
Bhaṇe narasaiyo tenu darashana karataa
kula ekotera taaryaa re

One who is a true devotee of God will always feel and understand the pain of others. They will always be helpful to those in need. And, in their empathy, they will neither feel superior with false pride and ego, nor will they feel the need to show and boast about it.

Those who are true devotees of God will always treat others with respect and kindness. They will never gossip about others and will not speak ill of others. Their thoughts, words, and actions will always be of the highest quality. Blessed is the mother of such a true devotee.

One who is a true devotee of God treats all with equanimity. Such a person conquers greed and ego and respects women as he would his own mother. His speech would falter and fail if he told lies, and his wealth is shared in charity with the needy.

One who is a true devotee of God rises above petty worldly attachments and desires. Their minds are detached from material pursuits, and they constantly contemplate God’s name. With such constant immersion in Gd’s worship, they themselves become holy and all places of pilgrimage reside within them.

Those who are true devotees of God will free themselves from deceit, greed, and corruption. They embrace truth, ethics, and integrity. They free themselves from lust and other vices. And anyone who sees such a devotee will be blessed over and over again. Their entire lineage becomes saved.
