Worship Govinda, worship Govinda, worship Govinda, Oh

fool ! Rules of grammar will not save you at the time

of your death.

 

Oh fool ! Give up your thirst to amass wealth, devote

your mind to thoughts to the Real . Be content with

what comes through actions already performed in the

past.

 

Do not get drowned in delusion by going wild with

passions and lust by seeing a woman's navel and chest

.. These are nothing but a modification of flesh . Fail

not to remember this again and

again in your mind.

 

The life of a person is as uncertain as rain drops

trembling on a lotus leaf . Know that the whole world

remains a prey to disease, ego and grief.

 

So long as a man is fit and able to support his

family, see what affection all those around him show .

But no one at home cares to even have a word with him

when his body totters due to old age.

 

When one is alive, his family members enquire kindly

about his welfare . But when the soul departs from the

body, even his wife runs away in fear of the corpse.

 

The childhood is lost by attachment to playfulness .

Youth is lost by attachment to woman . Old age passes

away by thinking over many things . But there is

hardly anyone attached to Parabrahman ( Krishna ).

 

Who is your wife ? Who is your son ? Strange is this

samsaara, the world. Of whom are you ? From where have

you come ? Brother, ponder over these truths.

 

>From satsanga, company of devotees, comes

non-attachment, from non-attachment comes freedom from

delusion, which leads to steadfastness in devotion.

>From steadfastness in devotion comes liberation from

the cycle of birth and death.
