If Sri Gaura had not come, what would have happened? How would we have
maintained our lives? Who would have revealed to the world Sri Radha's glory
and the extremes of Her ecstatic divine love?
(radhar mahima ke janata)
(gaura yadi na asita radhar mahima ke janata)
Who would have known Sri Radha's glory? If Sri Gaura would not have come, who
would have known Sri Radha's glory?
madhura vrnda-
vipina madhuri
pravesa chaturi sara
varaja-yuvati
bhavera bhakati
sakati ha-ita kara? [2]
Who would have the great expertise needed to enter into the sweetness of
sweet Vrindavan? Who would have any qualification for the Vraja-gopis'
ecstatic devotion?
gao punah punah
gaurangera guna
sarala kariya mana
e bhava-sagare
emana dayala
na dekhiye eka-jana [3]
Sing Gauranga's glories again and again, keeping your heart simple. In the
ocean of this material world, no one has ever seen anyone so merciful.
(ami) gauranga baliya
na genu galiya
kemane dharinu de
vasura-hiya
pasana diya
(vidhi) kemane gadiyachhe [4]
I chant 'Gauranga', but have not melted (with love). How have I maintained
this body? How has Providence made Vasu a stone rather than a heart?
'Give some time to the Lord. You have got this body, it is like a boat, and the Guru is the captain of the boat—if you do not try to cross this ocean of material life, if you do not want to go to a higher plane, then you are committing suicide. Try, search for Sri Krishna, Reality the Beautiful.'
