હરિ! હૈયામાં રાખતાં ચીરા પડે રે, છતાં રાખ્યા વિણ દાન તારાં શે રડે રે!
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning

O Hari, my heart is torn by the intensity of holding You within. Yet, without You held, how will Your divine boons be realized or experienced?

Explanation

This beautiful verse speaks to the paradox of divine love. It suggests that keeping God's blessings and grace deep within our hearts can sometimes feel overwhelming, almost as if our hearts might crack under their profound weight or intensity. Yet, the poet ponders, how can these precious divine gifts truly manifest or be understood if we don't hold them close? It implies that despite the challenges or the emotional depth required, embracing and internalizing God's grace is essential for its true meaning and impact to be realized in our lives. It's about the effort and commitment needed to truly absorb the divine.
