By surrendering myself at Your feet, I have become supremely happy. All my
distress has gone away, I have no more anxiety, and I see ecstasy in all
directions.
asoka-abhaya,
amrta-adhara,
tomara charana-dvaya
tahate ekhana,
visrama labhiya
chhadinu bhavera bhaya [2]
Your feet are the abode of sorrowlessness, fearlessness, and immortality.
Receiving shelter beneath them, I have abandoned all fear of material
existence.
tomara samsare,
kariba sevana,
nahiba phalera bhagi
tava sukha yahe,
kariba yatana,
ha'ye pade anuragi [3]
I will render service in Your household and will not become an enjoyer of the
results. Lovingly attached to Your feet, I will carefully endeavour for
whatever pleases You.
tomara sevaya,
duhkha haya yata,
seo ta' parama sukha
seva-sukha-duhkha,
parama sampada,
nasaye avidya-duhkha [4]
All the distress I encounter in Your service is also my greatest happiness.
Both the distress and the happiness that come from engagement in Your service
are my greatest fortune; they both destroy the distress of ignorance.
purva itihasa,
bhulinu sakala,
seva-sukha peye mane
ami ta' tomara,
tumi ta' amara,
ki kaja apara dhane [5]
Feeling the happiness of Your service in my heart, I have completely
forgotten all past history. I am Yours, and You are mine. What need is there
for any other wealth?
bhakati-vinoda,
anande dubiya,
tomara sevara tare
saba chesta kare,
tava ichchha mata,
thakiya tomara ghare [6]
Living in the ecstasy of Your service, Bhakti Vinod performs all his
endeavours in accordance with Your will, residing within Your home.
'Sometimes we lose our patience and think, 'Oh, I have been in Krishna
consciousness for so many years, but I am not getting the result.' Of course:
if you make so many offences, if you have so much deceitful devotion, how
will you get the result?'
