- Verse 1
keno mana, kamere nacao prema-pray? carma-mamsa-moy kama,jara-sukha abirama, jara-bisayete sada dhay
keno mana, kamere nacao prema-pray? carma-mamsa-moy kama,jara-sukha abirama, jara-bisayete sada dhay
केनो मन, कमेरे नचओ प्रेमप्रय्? चर्ममम्समोय कम,जरसुख अबिरम, जरबिसयेते सद धय
Tell me why, my dear mind? Why are you forced to dance by lust, and why do you think that such dancing is Krsna conscious? Your lust is simply abounding in skin and meat, and you are addicted to non-stop material sense gratification. Thus you factually spend your time in running here and there, chasing after worldly sense objects.
- Verse 2
jiber svarupa dharma,cit-svarupe prema-marma, tahar bisaya-matra hari kama-abarane hay,prema ebe supta-pray, prema jagao kama dura kori'
jiber svarupa dharma,cit-svarupe prema-marma, tahar bisaya-matra hari kama-abarane hay,prema ebe supta-pray, prema jagao kama dura kori'
जिबेर स्वरुप धर्म,चित्स्वरुपे प्रेममर्म, तहर बिसयमत्र हरि कमअबरने हय्,प्रेम एबे सुप्तप्रय्, प्रेम जगओ कम दुर कोरिऽ
The soul's original eternal nature is pure love within the innermost core of its spiritually conscious form, and the sole object of repose for that pure love is Lord Hari. Alas, how lamentable it is, that this inherent ecstatic love is now lying in a dormant, sleeping state due to the artificial covering of this temporary lust, My dear mind, banishing this lust to a distant place, just rouse and reawaken your sleeping prema.
- Verse 3
sraddha hoite sadhu-sange, bhajaner kriya-range, nista-ruci-asakti-udoy asakti hoite bhava,tahe prema pradurbhava, ei krame prema upajoy
sraddha hoite sadhu-sange, bhajaner kriya-range, nista-ruci-asakti-udoy asakti hoite bhava,tahe prema pradurbhava, ei krame prema upajoy
स्रद्ध होइते सधुसन्गे, भजनेर क्रियरन्गे, निस्तरुचिअसक्तिउदोय असक्ति होइते भव,तहे प्रेम प्रदुर्भव, एइ क्रमे प्रेम उपजोय
Only in the following sequence does pure love for Krsna awaken: First one develops sraddha (faith) in the process of Krsna Consciousness; then, due to that faith one becomes enthusiastic for sadhu-sanga (the association of devotees); then, by performance of bhajana-kriya (devotional worship) in the company of the devotees there awakens nista (steadiness in service), then ruci (taste), then asakti (attachment to the Lord); this attachment then gives rise to bhava (genuine ecstatic emotions), from which prema (pure love for Krsna) manifests its re-awakening. Only in this sequence does prema come into being.
- Verse 4
ihate jatana ja'r,sei pay prema-sar, krama-tyage prema nahi jage e-krama-sadhane bhoy,keno koro' durasoy, kame prema kabhu nahi lage
ihate jatana ja'r,sei pay prema-sar, krama-tyage prema nahi jage e-krama-sadhane bhoy,keno koro' durasoy, kame prema kabhu nahi lage
इहते जतन जऽर्,सेइ पय प्रेमसर्, क्रमत्यगे प्रेम नहि जगे एक्रमसधने भोय्,केनो कोरोऽ दुरसोय्, कमे प्रेम कभु नहि लगे
One who endeavors for this bona fide process gets the essence of pure ecstatic love for Krsna. One who neglects the proper order of this procedure does not experience the reawakening of pure prema. My dear mind, why are you maintaining the wicked mentality of apprehension and fear of this bona fide method of devotional practice? By cultivation of your lust in this mundane sphere, you will never be able to touch upon genuine ecstatic love for Krsna.
- Verse 5
natakabhinoy pray,sakapata prema bhay, tahe matra indriya-santosa indriya-tosana char,sada koro' parihar, charo' bhai aparadha-dosa
natakabhinoy pray,sakapata prema bhay, tahe matra indriya-santosa indriya-tosana char,sada koro' parihar, charo' bhai aparadha-dosa
नतकभिनोय प्रय्,सकपत प्रेम भय्, तहे मत्र इन्द्रियसन्तोस इन्द्रियतोसन छर्,सद कोरोऽ परिहर्, छरोऽ भै अपरधदोस
So by the likes of your dramatic performance of dancing in lust, you think that this is indicative of your prema, but it is actually a deceptive, feigned imitation of prema. Thus you whole process is simply gross sense gratification. My dear brother, always reject such degraded, contemptible sense gratification, casting out this grave offense to the Lord.
