Māyā Baddha Jata Khaṇa Thāke To' Jībera Mana
O Lord Kṛṣṇa, as long as they stay in Māyā's prison, the rebellious souls plunge their hearts into material things. They think only of matter. Their hearts cannot see the spiritual world
filled with knowledge, the world where You stay.
Grasping the sword of devotional service and mercy, the heart may cut the ropes of matter that bind it. Then the heart may leave the world of matter and gaze at Your wonderful handsome form, a form that mocks everything made of matter.
O Lord, Your glories and opulences have no end. You are an ocean of mercy. You are the master of all souls. Poor Bhaktivinoda, who has no pure devotional service, again and again
begs for pure devotion to You.
