SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI
ara kena maya-jale paditechha jiva-mina,
nahi jana baddha ha’ye rabe tumi chira-dina [1]
Oh why has this soul, like a fish, got caught in the net of illusion? You do
not know anything – you will now stay in this bondage forever!
ati tuchchha bhoga-ase, bandhi ha’ye maya-pase,
rahile vikrta bhave dandya yatha paradhina [2]
Because you wanted to get some meagre pleasure, you have become a captive,
tied by Maya’s noose. Because you live subservient to others, you are
constantly getting all kinds of perverse punishments.
ekhanao bhakati-bale, krsna-prema-sindhu-jale,
krida kari’ anayase thaka tumi krsnadhina [3]
Despite your current plight, you can embrace devotion and easily live playing
in the waters of the ocean of divine love for Lord Krishna. So, become
subservient to Lord Krishna.
