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

अर्थ

Yoga and yajñas are worthless like piles of ashes. Faith is the best of all. A person who in his heart has faith attains at first a single drap of nectar. Then gradually he becomes qualified to enter the nectar ocean of devotional service.

2

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

अर्थ

With many efforts worshiping the demiogods and goddesses with karma and jñāna, one attains only worthless pathetic results and worthless and pathetic impersonal ideas. But if one
stays among the devotees and hears about Lord Kṛṣṇa, one attains powerful faith in the Lord.

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

अर्थ

O my brothers, this is true faith. Of this faith I always sing. This faith is the seed that grows into the flowering vine of devotional service. The karmīs and jñānīs talk again and again about faith. But their faith is not like this faith.

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

अर्थ

When I hear them dispute the glories of the holy name, my limbs burn with flames. If you say an iron thing is made of gold, the iron will remain iron. If it is not touched by a cintāmaṇi
jewel, the iron will never become gold.

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

अर्थ

Devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa is a cintāmaṇi jewel. By its touch the iron that is faith in karma and jñāna becomes transformed into the gold that is faith in devotional service. Only the cintāmaṇi jewel of devotional service has that power.
