prema-labhe dhairya-dhana
bhakti-anukūla, karma-pravartana,
asat-saṅga-visarjana
अर्थ
Enthusiasm for devotional practice, conviction in devotion, the wealth of perseverance in striving for prema, engagement in activities favourable to devotion, rejection of bad association.
bhakti-sadācāra, ei chaya guna,
nāhilo āmāra nātha!
kemone bhojibo, tomāra caraṇa,
chāḍiyā māyāra sātha
अर्थ
(2 ) Proper devotional behaviour—I have never had these six qualities. O Lord! How shall I serve Your feet and abandon the association of māyā?
garhita ācāre, rohilāma moji’,
nā korinu sādhu-saṅga
lo’ye sādhu-veśa, āne upadeśi,
e boḍo māyāra raṅga
अर्थ
I have remained immersed in offensive behaviour and never associated with sādhus. Yet I wear the garb of a sādhu and instruct others. This is a great trick of māyā.
e heno daśāya, ahaitukī kṛpā,
tomāra pāibo, hari!
śrī-guru-āśroye, ḍākibo tomāya,
kabe vā minati kori’
अर्थ
In such a state, I will attain only Your unconditional mercy, O Lord! When will I prayerfully call out to You under the shelter of Śrī Guru?
