***
By Srila Narottam Das Thakur
ki-rupe paiba seva muni durachara
sri-guru-vaisnava rati na haila amara
I am so wicked, how will I ever get service? I do not have any attachment to
Sri Guru and Vaishnavs!
asesa mayate mana magana haila
vaisnavete lesa-matra rati na janmila
My mind is endlessly engrossed in maya, and not even a trace of attachment to
the Vaishnavs is born within me.
visaye bhuliya andha hainu divanisi
gele phamsa dite phere maya se pisachi
Maya, this witch, has put a noose round my neck, and, becoming blind and
forgetting myself in the pleasures of the material world, I pass day and
night.
mayare kariya jaya chhadana na yaya
sadhu-krpa vina ara na dekhi upaya
It is not possible to conquer maya by engaging in maya. I see no other way
to get relief except for the mercy of sadhus.
adosa-darasi-prabhu, patita-uddhara
ei-bara narottame karaha nistara
Prabhu, you see no fault in others, you are the saviour of the fallen. Please
deliver Narottam this time!
