Devotion: Gauranga Mahaprabhu

[Guest guest]

Jaya Sri Radhey! Namaste.

 

"kAmera tAtparya nija sambhoga kevala,

kRSNa sukha tAtparya prema to prabala.

 

lOka-dharma, veda-dharma, deha-dharma karma,

lajjA dhairya deha-sukha Atma-sukha marma

 

sarvatyAga kare kare kRSNera bhajana,

kRSNa-sukha hetu kare premera sevana

 

ataeva kAme preme bahuta antara

kAma andhatama prema nirmala bhAskara."

 

Caitanya Caritamritam, Sri Gauranga

 

'Giving up all, the prescribed righteous conduct,

rules and regulations of Vedic scriptures,

renouncing even ones'own bodily duties,

shame, arrogance, conceit, along with the

comforts and pleasures of body, mind and soul,

the devotee should adore and serve Beloved Krishna.

 

'Seva' in Divine Love is done only for the sake of pleasing

Beloved Lord Krishna, while satisfying ones'own senses is

the strong motive in worldly love.

 

The desire for one's own happiness is LUST

and is compared to DARKNESS,

while the DESIRE to PLEASE ONE'S BELOVED GOD ALONE IS LOVE

and is compared to PURE and CLEAR SUNSHINE !'
