Kabe Mora Mūḍha Mana Chāri' Anya Dhyāna
When will my foolish mind turn from all other thoughts and take shelter of Lord Kṛṣṇa's feet?
When will I understand that I have nothing of value, that no one is insignificant like me?
When will I bow down before all living entities, even the caṇḍālas? When, speaking many prayers, will I beg that they give me devotion to Lord Kṛṣṇa?
After how many days will I become merciful to all souls? When, seeing the conditioned souls' misfortune, will I weep?
When, weeping and weeping, will I go to Vṛndāvana? When will I take shelter of the Vaiṣṇavas in Vraja-dhāma?
When, folding my hands, will I earnestly beg the people of Vraja to show me the places of Kṛṣṇa's pastimes?
When will I say, "O people of Vraja, please be kind and show me where Lord Kṛṣṇa enjoyed pastimes?"
When will a kind-hearted person of Vraja take me into the forest?
When will he say, "Look. There is the kadamba forest where Vraja's prince enjoyed the rāsa dance. . . .
. . . Look, there is Nanda's home in Nanda-grāma. Look. There is where Balarāma enjoyed the rāsa dance. . . .
. . . Look. There is the place where Kṛṣṇa stole the gopīs' garments, and there is the place where He killed Bakāsura."?
When, accompanied by a person of Vraja, will I see with thirsty eyes the places of Lord Kṛṣṇa's pastimes in Vṛndāvana?
When, hearing flute music by the Yamunā's bank, will I fall, overcome with bliss, to the ground?
When, chanting "Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa!", will a person of Vraja make me drink a handful of water?
When, regaining consciousness and hearing the names of Lord Kṛṣṇa, will I continue walking with that person of Vraja?
When will the auspicious day come when I will beg from door to door?
When will I drink the Yamunā's water from my cupped hands? When will I sleep at night in a temple's doorway?
When, this material body become a great feast for the fishes,...
...will I attain my original spiritual form? When, always staying by the feet of a sakhī in her forest grove, will I always serve the great treasure that is Lord Kṛṣṇa?
This sinner, this pile of ashes makes these requests. O Jāhnavā-devī, please be merciful to me this one time.
