Mana Re Keno Ar Varna Abhiman lyrics

mana re, keno ar barna abhiman, marile pataki ho'ye, jamadute ja'be lo'ye, na koribe jatir samman

mana re, keno ar barna abhiman, marile pataki ho'ye, jamadute ja'be lo'ye, na koribe jatir samman

मन रे, केनो अर बर्न अभिमन्, मरिले पतकि होऽये, जमदुते जऽबे लोऽये, न कोरिबे जतिर सम्मन

Oh my dear mind, why do you still have this vain egoistic pride due to your family caste? The fact is that when a sinful man dies, then no matter who he is the Yamadutas (the agents of Yamaraja, the demigod of death) will carry away without paying the slightest respect to his caste and family lineage.

jadi bhalo karma koro', svarga-bhoga atahpara, ta'te bipra candala saman narakeo dui jane, danda pa'be ek sane janmantare samana bidhan

jadi bhalo karma koro', svarga-bhoga atahpara, ta'te bipra candala saman narakeo dui jane, danda pa'be ek sane janmantare samana bidhan

जदि भलो कर्म कोरोऽ, स्वर्गभोग अतह्पर, तऽते बिप्र चन्दल समन नरकेओ दुइ जने, दन्द पऽबे एक सने जन्मन्तरे समन बिधन

Even if one does good works and enjoys celestial pleasures in the heavenly planetary systems, he is still not safe, for after his good karma is exhausted he gets equal treatment along with brahmanas as well as dog-eating outcastes. In hell both persons will receive equal punishment in one place, and for their next birth, equal ruling is administered.

tabe keno abhiman, lo'ye tuccha barna-man, marana abadhi ja'r man ucca barna-pada dhori' barnantare ghrna kori', naraker na koro' sandhan

tabe keno abhiman, lo'ye tuccha barna-man, marana abadhi ja'r man ucca barna-pada dhori' barnantare ghrna kori', naraker na koro' sandhan

तबे केनो अभिमन्, लोऽये तुच्छ बर्नमन्, मरन अबधि जऽर मन उच्च बर्नपद धोरिऽ बर्नन्तरे घ्र्न कोरिऽ, नरकेर न कोरोऽ सन्धन

So then why do you maintain such false pride, dear mind? Your insignificant caste vanity lasts only to up to the time of your death, when it will be taken away along with your body. My advice to you is that, please don't despise any other caste if you have taken a so called high birth in this present life. Don't search for suffering in hell by unnecessarily scorning another's apparent low-class birth.

samajika man lo'ye, thako bhai bipra ho'ye, baisnabe na koro' apaman adara byapari ho'ye, bibada jahaja lo'ye, kabhu nahi hore, buddhiman

samajika man lo'ye, thako bhai bipra ho'ye, baisnabe na koro' apaman adara byapari ho'ye, bibada jahaja lo'ye, kabhu nahi hore, buddhiman

समजिक मन लोऽये, थको भै बिप्र होऽये, बैस्नबे न कोरोऽ अपमन अदर ब्यपरि होऽये, बिबद जहज लोऽये, कभु नहि होरे, बुद्धिमन

If you have been born into a position of aristocratic social honor, then just live as a humble, learned brahmana, dear brother, but don't ever dare to abuse or insult any Vaisnava. For a caste brahmana to oppose or challenge a Vaisnava is just like the story of the poor ginger salesman who sells only a few paisa worth of ginger roots in the market every day. One day he saw a huge ship laden with very costly cargos moored on the river. He went over to the ship and started demanding information about the cargo, the price, the destination, the profit and so on. He is simply insignificant, but he wants to lord it over such huge business affairs of the sea-going vessel and after some time the ship's crew said, "Well, who are you anyway, that you are interrogating us so?" And he told them, "I just sell a little ginger in the bazaar." So if a brahmana tries to dishonor a bona fide Vaisnava, then he simply makes useless conflict, and he never becomes wise.

tabe jadi krsna-bhakti, sadha' tumi jathasakti, sonaya sohaga pa'be sthan sarthaka hoibe sutra, sarva-labha ihamutra, binoda koribe stuti-gan

tabe jadi krsna-bhakti, sadha' tumi jathasakti, sonaya sohaga pa'be sthan sarthaka hoibe sutra, sarva-labha ihamutra, binoda koribe stuti-gan

तबे जदि क्र्स्नभक्ति, सधऽ तुमि जथसक्ति, सोनय सोहग पऽबे स्थन सर्थक होइबे सुत्र, सर्वलभ इहमुत्र, बिनोद कोरिबे स्तुतिगन

So if you would just combine devotion to Krsna with an effort to the best of your ability, my dear mind, then you will be situated in the perfect combination of spiritual activity. Then, whatever caste or material position you happen to be situated in, will become really successful, and you will attain all desirable things in this way. And Bhaktivinoda will sing the praises of your glories.
