Kṛṣṇa Bhakti Binā Kabhu Nāhi Phalodoya
kṛṣṇa-bhakti binā kabhu nāhi phalodoya
miche saba dharmādharma jībera upādhimoya
अर्थ
A life without devotional service is wasted. Piety and sin are only illusions. They are artificial things placed over the soul.
joga-jāga-tapo-dhyāna sannyāsādi brahma-jñāna
nānā-khaṇda-rūpe jībera bandhana-kāraṇa hoya
अर्थ
When meant to lead to knowledge of impersonal Brahman, yoga, yajñas, austerities, meditation, sannyāsa, and other activities are only many shackles that bind the soul.
binodera bākya dharo nānā kāṇḍa tyāga koro
nirupādhi kṛṣṇa-preme hṛdoye deho āśroya
अर्थ
Listen to Bhaktivinoda's words. Turn from all these. In your heart take shelter of pure love for Lord Kṛṣṇa, love that is beyond the artificial designations of this world.
