Ohe Bhāi Mana Keno Brahma Ho'te Cāya

O my dear brother heart, why do you hanker after the impersonal Brahman? What wonderful thing will you obtain by always worshiping Brahman? Please tell me. Why do you wish to merge with Brahman?

A drop of water cannot become an ocean. A dwarf cannot touch the moon. Can a grain of dust become a mountain? Impersonal liberation is an obstacle. It blocks the true goal of life. It is only an offense.

Turning away from all these horrible misconceptions, please become pure. Seek the path of spiritual love. If you see them in the scriptures, please know that words like "sāyujya" or "nirvāṇa" are meant to describe the stages of devotional service.

"Tat tvam asi" and other teachings of the scriptures give love for Kṛṣṇa as their final fruit. In the end they bring the devotee to Kṛṣṇa. They make the devotee see Vṛndāvana, Lord Kṛṣṇa's eternal, blissful, spiritual abode.

The impersonal Brahman is Lord Kṛṣṇa's bodily effulgence. It fill's Māyā's world with wonder. The souls in Māyā's prison may sometimes escape into it. As fireflies seem brilliant when the sun does not shine, so the impersonal Brahman is glorious only when Lord Kṛṣṇa's form remains unseen.

If your good fortune arises, you will take shelter of the spiritual master and the Lord's devotees. Then the world of Vṛndāvana will be splendidly manifest before you. You will attracted to Lord Kṛṣṇa. Turning from the paltry so-called nectar of the impersonal Brahman, you will run to the supreme personal Brahman.
