Tumi Jagatera Pitā Tumi Jagatera Mātā
O Lord Kṛṣṇa, You are the father of the univrese. You are the mother of the universe. O Lord Kṛṣṇa, You are the beloved son. You are the spiritual master, the well-wisher, and the
friend. You are the shelter and the kalpa-vṛkṣa tree. In these ways I have a relationship with You.
I am Your servant, Your follower, a poor person who begs You for shelter, a soul surrendered atb Your graceful feet. I am Your property, Your creation, Your dependent protected by You. I am Yours.
Bhaktivinoda says: I do not proudly think "I" and "mine" in my relationship with Lord Kṛṣṇa. Still, as I serve Him, I do think in terms of "I" and "mine". Outside of serving Him, these would be only material thoughts.
