SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI

‘Soul’s Distress and
Deliverance through Sadhu-Sanga’

(From Sri Sri Prema-Vivarta)

chit-kana jiva, krsna chinmaya bhaskara
nitya krsna dekhi’ krsne karena adara [1]

Souls are spiritual sparks, and Krishna is the transcendental sun, so they eternally see and revere Him.

krsna-bahirmukha hana bhoga vanchha kare
nikatastha maya tare japatiya dhare [2]

But when some souls turn away from Krishna and desire to enjoy, Maya, who is always nearby, pounces on them.

pisachi paile yena mati-chchhanna haya
maya-grasta jivera haya se bhava udaya [3]

Those who are possessed by a ghost become delirious, and the same condition arises in those who are seized by Maya, illusion.

“ami siddha krsna-dasa” ei katha bhule
mayara naphara hana chira-dina bule [4]

‘I am actually a servant of Krishna’ – forgetting this, souls become Maya’s slaves and keep wandering forever.

kabhu raja, kabhu praja, kabhu vipra, sudra
kabhu duhkhi, kabhu sukhi, kabhu kita, ksudra [5]

Sometimes they are kings; sometimes subjects; sometimes brahmans; sometimes sudras; sometimes sad; sometimes happy; sometimes insects; sometimes some other tiny creatures.

kabhu svarge, kabhu martye, narake va kabhu
kabhu deva, kabhu daitya, kabhu dasa, prabhu [6]

Sometimes they live in heaven; sometimes on the earth; sometimes in hell; sometimes as gods; sometimes as demons; sometimes as servants; sometimes as masters.

ei-rupe samsara bhramite kona jana
sadhu-sange nija-tattva avagata hana [7]

Wandering thus all over the material creation, some souls become aware of their true nature by coming into connection with a saint.

nija-tattva jani’ ara samsara na chaya
“kena va bhajinu maya” kare haya haya [8]

Understanding their true nature, they no longer want to live in the material world, so they begin to lament, ‘Why have I been serving Maya?’

kende bale, “ohe krsna ami tava dasa
tomara charana chhadi’ haila sarva nasa” [9]

Crying, they say, ‘O Krishna! I am Your servant, but I have left Your feet, ruining myself.’

krpa kari’ krsna tare chhadana samsara
kakuti kariya krsne yadi dake eka-bara [10]

Krishna mercifully frees souls from the material world if they even just once earnestly call out to Him.

mayake pichhane rakhi’ krsna-pane chaya
bhajite bhajite krsna-pada-padma paya [11]

Leaving Maya behind, souls start hankering for Krishna. They keep serving Him and eventually reach His lotus feet.

krsna tare dena nija chich-chhaktira bala
maya akarsana chhade haiya durbala [12]

When Krishna grants them His spiritual power, Maya loses her power and stops attracting them.

sadhu-sange krsna-nama—ei matra chai
samsara jinite ara kona vastu nai [13]

I desire only to chant the Name of Krishna in the association of saints. There is no other way to conquer material world.
