"When Will Lord Caitanya Be Merciful to Me?" — 23. Kabe Śrī Caitanya More Koribena Doyā
Listen
8 versionsWhen will Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu show His causeless mercy to me by allowing me to attain the shade of the lotus feet of His Vaiṣṇava devotee?
When will I be able to give up this false ego, which is so deeply engrossed in sense gratification? And when will I be able to properly honor the associates of the Lord?
I will stand before a Vaiṣṇava with folded hands, a cloth binding my neck, and a straw between my teeth, sincerely awaiting his order.
Weeping and weeping, I will inform him of my host of material miseries, and I will beg for relief from the blazing fire of this material world.
Hearing about all my miserable sufferings, the Vaiṣṇāva Ṭhākura will submit an appeal to Lord Kṛṣṇa on my behalf.
By the prayer of the Vaiṣṇava, the all-merciful Lord Kṛṣṇa will then become compassionate toward such a sinner as me.
Bhaktivinoda prays unto the lotus feet of the Vaiṣṇava, "Please be merciful and take this worthless person into your association."
