Eo To' Eka Kalir Celā
Here is just another disciple of Kali-yuga. He keeps his head shaved, wears a loincloth, tilak on his nose and tulasī beads around his neck.
By looks he appears to be a Vaiṣṇava, but in actuality his conduct is that of a śākta, one who worships the principle of material energy in order to enjoy her. He engages in sahaja-bhajan (so-called "natural worship"), but does so by posing as "uncle" to the children of others, and then stealthily taking the illicit association of their daughters.
Accepting these young girls as sakhīs (Rādhā's gopī friends), he fancies himself to be the Son of Nanda. By the deceptive lecturing about how everyone should become Kṛṣṇa-dāsa (the servant of himself as "Kṛṣṇa"), this disciple of Kali-yuga thus hurls a sharp spear at the true devotees of the Lord.viii
Giving artificial recognition to nava-rasika (the nine relishers), he thus eats and enjoys the bananas of his own mental fabrications. Chāṅd Bāul says, "O my dear brothers! Desist from this bogus imitation of the Lord's amorous sports."ix
About Eo To' Eka Kalir Celā
A blunt dismissal — whatever practice is being described here is branded simply a "product of Kali-yuga," a degraded imitation rather than a genuine spiritual path, continuing the book's habit of naming specific errors before pointing to the alternative.
