giving up lusty desires and surrendering to Krishna

[Guest guest]

kamadinam kati na katidha palita durnidesas

tesam jata mayi na karuna na trapa nopasantih

utsrjyaitan atha yadu-pate sampratam labdha-buddhis

tvam ayatah saranam abhayam mam niyunksvatma-dasye

 

"‘O my Lord, there is no limit to the unwanted orders of lusty desires.

Although I have rendered these desires so much service, they have not shown

any mercy to me. I have not been ashamed to serve them, nor have I even

desired to give them up. O my Lord, O head of the Yadu dynasty, recently,

however, my intelligence has been awakened, and now I am giving them up. Due

to transcendental intelligence, I now refuse to obey the unwanted orders of

these desires, and I now come to You to surrender myself at Your fearless

lotus feet. Kindly engage me in Your personal service and save me.'
