  1. Verse 1

    yoga jāga saba chāra śraddhā sakalera sāra sei śraddhā hṛdoye jāhāra udiyāche eka bindhu krame bhakti-rasa-sindhu lābhe tāra hoya adhikāra

    yoga jaga saba chara sraddha sakalera sara sei sraddha hrdoye jahara udiyache eka bindhu krame bhakti-rasa-sindhu labhe tara hoya adhikara

    योग जाग सब छार श्रद्धा सकलेर सार सेइ श्रद्धा हृदोये जाहार उदियाछे एक बिन्धु क्रमे भक्तिरससिन्धु लाभे तार होय अधिकार

    Any type of yoga exercise or external religious ceremony is completely useless and is no help at all... for genuine faith is the only real substance. Whoever has such sincere faith in his heart tastes one drop of transcendental nectar, and then he gradually gains the right of admission into the entire ocean of ecstatic devotional mellows (the Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu)

  2. Verse 2

    jñāna karma deba debi bahu jatanete sebi' prāpta-phala hoilo tuccha jñāna sādhu-jana-saṅgābeśe śrī-kṛṣṇa-kathāra śeṣe biśwāso to' hoya balabān

    jnana karma deba debi bahu jatanete sebi' prapta-phala hoilo tuccha jnana sadhu-jana-sangabese sri-krsna-kathara sese biswaso to' hoya balaban

    ज्ञान कर्म देब देबि बहु जतनेते सेबिऽ प्राप्तफल होइलो तुच्छ ज्ञान साधुजनसङ्गाबेशे श्रीकृष्णकथार शेषे बिश्wआसो तोऽ होय बलबान

    By faithfully worshiping the gods and goddesses who bestow knowledge and fruitive results, with great care and attention, one gets only insignificant material knowledge. On the other hand, by hearing the narration of topics concerning Krsna with rapt attention in the company of virtuous devotees, one's transcendental conviction becomes completely fixed-up.

  3. Verse 3

    sei to' biśwāse bhāi śraddhā boli' sadā gāi bhakti-latā bīja boli tāre karmī jñānī jane jāre śraddhā bole bāre bāre sei bṛtti śraddhā hoite nāre

    sei to' biswase bhai sraddha boli' sada gai bhakti-lata bija boli tare karmi jnani jane jare sraddha bole bare bare sei brtti sraddha hoite nare

    सेइ तोऽ बिश्wआसे भाइ श्रद्धा बोलिऽ सदा गाइ भक्तिलता बीज बोलि तारे कर्मी ज्ञानी जने जारे श्रद्धा बोले बारे बारे सेइ बृत्ति श्रद्धा होइते नारे

    My friends! I call this type of fixed-up conviction "sraddha", which I continuously sing about and glorify in various ways. This sraddha is actually the bhakti-lata-bija (the seed of the creeper of devotion). The fruitive workers and the mental speculators have their own idea about what is sraddha, which they advertise and proclaim again and again, but in my opinion, their definition is without a doubt a misconception, and does not constitute the real, transcendental sraddha. Whenever I hear such foolish disputes and misconceptions over mere names from such unauthorized persons, it burns me up because that is just like mistaking iron to be gold. Iron always remains iron, and can never become gold unless and until it is touched by a transcendental touchstone.

  4. Verse 4

    nāmera bibada mātra śuniyā to' jwale gātra lauhe jadi boloho kañcana tabu lauha lauha roya kañcana to' kabhu noya maṇi sparśa nāhe jata-khaṇa

    namera bibada matra suniya to' jwale gatra lauhe jadi boloho kancana tabu lauha lauha roya kancana to' kabhu noya mani sparsa nahe jata-khana

    नामेर बिबद मात्र शुनिया तोऽ ज्wअले गात्र लौहे जदि बोलोहो कञ्चन तबु लौह लौह रोय कञ्चन तोऽ कभु नोय मणि स्पर्श नाहे जतखण

    This touch-stone is actually pure devotional service to Lord Krsna. By the mere touch of this transcendental gem, the iron-mine of faith in fruitive action and philosophical wrangling turns into golden ecstatic loving faith in the Lord. The weight of this type of gold certainly outweighs all materialistic delusions. This is the real power of the touch- stone of Krsna-bhakti.

  5. Verse 5

    kṛṣṇa-bhakti cintāmaṇi taṅra sparśe lauha-khani kārma-jñāna-gata śraddhā-bhāba haya jaya hema-bhara chāḍiyā to' ku-bikāra se kebala maṇira prabhāba

    krsna-bhakti cintamani tanra sparse lauha-khani karma-jnana-gata sraddha-bhaba haya jaya hema-bhara chadiya to' ku-bikara se kebala manira prabhaba

    कृष्णभक्ति चिन्तामणि तङ्र स्पर्शे लौहखनि कार्मज्ञानगत श्रद्धाभाब हय जय हेमभर छाडिया तोऽ कुबिकार से केबल मणिर प्रभाब
