O Gurudev! When will that day be mine, when I will steady my mind, reside in a solitary place, and chant Kṛṣṇa’s Name? Then all the cacophony of the material world will no longer enter my ears, and the disease of bodily consciousness will remain far away from me.

`hare kṛṣṇa’ boli’, gāhite gāhite, nayane bohibe lora dehete pulaka, udita hoibe, premete koribe bhora ‘hare kṛṣṇa’–O Rādhā! O Kṛṣṇa!
