While Shri Krishana created the lofty ideal of the Sthit Pragna in the Geeta, Narsinh Mehta's Vaishnav Jan is a practical, down to earth, understandable version of the ideal. No wonder Mahatma Gandhiji the scholars and the musicians of the day took a fancy to "Vaishnav Jan". Narsinh was not only a devoted saint and a poet but also a great Philosopher. This sustained him through acute penury, neglect by the family and personal vicissitudes. His Lordship pervaded the entire universe (Akhil Brahmanad ma ek tu Shrihari) How he then threat any one as an untouchable ? And when his dear wife Manek departs :- Bhalu Thanyu Bhangi Janajal - as God likes it - would now worship unrestrained. Or again, on human anxiety - Aapno Chintaviyo Arth Kai Nav Sare, reminds of "we look before and after and pine for what is not". The Lord takes care of his worldly needs - e.g. Narsinh Mehta's Hundi and Kunvarbai's Mamera. And when, not Narsinh, but his Lord, is put to test on presence of the king, as if by magic the temple doors open and the Lord sends a garland to adore Narsinh.
