SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI
e ghora-samsare, padiya manava,
na paya duhkhera sesa
sadhu-sanga kari’, hari bhaje yadi,
tabe anta haya klesa [1]
Those who have fallen into this terrible world never cease suffering. But if
you associate with sadhus and serve the Lord, your suffering will come
to an end.
visaya anale, jvalichhe hrdaya,
anale badaye anala
aparadha chhadi’, laya krsna-nama,
anale padaye jala [2]
My heart is burning in the fire of material life, and I keep making my agony
worse by adding more fire to it. Chanting Lord Krishna’s Name without
offences pours water on this fire.
nitai chaitanya, charana-kamale,
asraya laila yei
kalidasa bale, jivane marane,
amara asraya sei [3]
Kalidas says, ‘Those who have surrendered at Nitai’s and Chaitanya’s lotus
feet are my sole shelter, in life and in death.’
