"Those whose wealth and treasure is Gauranga's two feet know the excellence
of devotional ecstasy. When Gauranga's sweet pastimes enter one's ears, their
heart becomes pure."
ye gaurangera nama laya
tara haya premodaya
tare muni yai bali hari
gauranga-gunete jhure
nitya-lila tare sphure
se jana bhakati-adhikari [2]
"When one chants Gauranga's Name, divine love arises in them — I feel
astonished at that. Eternal pastimes are revealed to those who shed tears
hearing Gauranga's qualities — such persons are qualified for devotion."
gaurangera sangi-gane
nitya-siddha kari mane
se yaya vrajendra-suta-pasa
sri-gauda-mandala-bhumi
yeba jane chintamani
tara haya vraja-bhume vasa [3]
"Those who consider Gauranga's associates to be eternally liberated reach
Krishna, the son of King of Vraja. Those who always think about Sri Gauda
Mandal reside in the land of Vraja."
gaura-prema-rasarnave
se tarange yeba dube
se radha-madhava-antaranga
grhe va vanete thake
'ha gauranga' bale dake
narottama mage tara sanga [4]
"Those who dive into the waves in the ocean of divine love for Gaura are
intimate associates of Sri Sri Radha-Madhav. No matter whether one lives in
a house or a forest, if they call out to Gauranga, Narottam begs for their
association."
'You think in your service everything will go smoothly, but it is impossible.
Krishna will test you, will examine you: how much tolerance do you have? How
much love and affection do you have for the Lord and for your Guru?'
