A person who has fallen into this terrible world never ceases to suffer. If
you associate with sadhus and serve Hari, however, your suffering comes to
an end.
visaya anale
jvalichhe hrdaya
anale badaye anala
aparadha chhadi'
laya krsna-nama
anale padaye jala [2]
A fallen soul burns in the ever-increasing fire of mundanity. Avoiding
offences, chant Krsna's Name. This pours water on the fire.

Kali Das says, "Anyone who has taken shelter of Nitai and Chaitanya's lotus
feet is my shelter, in life and in death."
'Gurudev told me, 'The day after Gaura Purnima, you will sit together at
Vishva Vaishnava Raja-Sabha,' and it is my duty to do that. We have
come here to be together, and everyone can speak their own language, if it can
be translated into English and Bengali, that is good for the mission.'
