Ore Mana Ki Bipada Hoilo Āmāra
O my heart, what a calamity has fallen on me! The fever of Māyā's wickedness has gripped the soul with sickness, and I looked for a way to be delivered from it.
...To escape the sufferings, I accepted the monist theory, which tries to kill the illusions of Māyā. In this way I drank poison. Now I am very unfortunate. The poison now shows its horrible effect. Burned by the flames of that poison, my life is about to depart.
"I am the Supreme Brahman. Everything is all one." That poison burned my body. O my brother, what kind of medicine is that? The medicine of impersonalism destroyed my life. Where can I get a medicine to cure the effects of that so-called medicine?
The nectar of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy name is the medicine to cure these two diseases: the disease spread by Māyā and the disease brought by the poison of māyāvāda impersonalism. A devotee who stays at Lord Caitanya's graceful feet is the proper physician is administer this medicine.
