Dehātmabuddhi Yāra Sei Jaḍa Deha
dehātmabuddhi yāra sei jaḍa deha
sei dehe āsvādana nāhi kare keha
dehātma-buddhi-thinking that one is the material body and mind; yāra-who has; sei-that; jaḍa deha-material body; sei dehe-in that body; āsvādana nāhi kare-cannot taste; keha-anyone.
One who falsely considers his body to be the self, or practically acts in that bodily consciousness by accepting bodily characteristics or qualities as transcendental qualifications, such a deluded soul has lost their spiritual vision and is no better than the material body they identify with. Therefore, no one in such material bodily consciousness and misidentification can relish the transcendental pastimes of the Supreme Lord, Which are all transcendental, beyond the range of perception by material senses.
vaiṣṇavete jātibuddhi pravala pracura
līlā-āsvādane kintu baḍa bāhādura
vaiṣṇavete-in the devotees; jāti-buddhi-respecting according to family birth; pravala-pervasive; pracura-very; līlā-āsvādane-for tasting pastimes; kintu-but; baḍa-very; bāhādura-valiant.
A real Vaisnava is transcendental to all material conceptions, yet today those who claim to be Vaisnavas generally are filled with an almost unlimited variety of bodily conceptions due to caste consciousness and caste distinction, and these caste prejudices and disqualifications, the so-called Vaisnavas always take the lead like big heros when it comes to engaging in “relishing the nectar of Lord’s intimate pastimes.”
ḍāhagharera kerāṇi (eka) goṅsāi ṭhākura
bābājī praṇāma kare tāhāre pracura
ḍāhagharera-post office; kerāṇi-clerk; eka-one; goṅsāi-ṭhākura-family descendent from an associate of Lord Caitanya; bābāji-renounced Vaisnava; praṇāma kare-pays respect; tāhāre-to him; pracura-very much.
For example, on post clerk has somehow or other become recognized as a “Gosai Thakur,” or a liberated pure Vaisnava. This way he receives so many obeisances from the babaji mendicants of vṛndāvana.
goṅsāi ṭhākura kare jāti-abhimāna
nityānanda prabhuvare kare khāna khāna
goṅsāi-ṭhākura-goswāmī; kare-does; jāti-abhimāna-identification through his birth rather than qualities; nityānanda prabhuvare-the blessings of Nītyānanda Prabhu; kare khāna khāna-cut in pieces.
The so-called “Gosai Ṭhākura” is falsely proud on the basis of bodily distinction, and as a result Lord Nītyānanda Prabhu does not empower him as a bonafide spiritual master, but rather cuts him down into little pieces because of his offensive activities.
