AuthorBhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura

Atyanta Sangrahe Yara Sada

1

atyanta sangrahe yara sada citta dhaya
atyahari bhakti-hina sei samjna paya

For over-acquisition, one whose mind does always run: avaricious non-devotee - he should thus be known

2

prakrta vastura ase bhoge yara mana
prayasi tahara nama bhakti-hina jana

One who hankers to exploit some object mundane: non-devotee, overendeavorer - as such he is known.

3

krsna-katha chadi' jihva ana katha kahe
prajalpi tahara nama vrtha vakya kahe

One whose tongue speaks all but holy talks of Krsna: he is just a gossiper of insignificant banter.

4

bhajanete udasina karmete pravina
bahv-arambhi se niyamagrahi ati dina

Apathetic to devotion, skilled in exploitation: so wretched - proud usurper of the higher devotee's position.

5

krsna-bhakta-sanga vine anya-sange rata
jana-sangi ku-visaya-vilase vivrata

Associates with all except Lord Krsna's pure devotees: a mundane socializer in the mud of fleeting fancies.

6

nana-sthane bhrame yei nija svartha-tare
laulya-para bhakti-hina samjna deya nare

Who wanders hither and thither for his own selfish plan: fickle-minded non-devotee - is known such a man.

7

ei chaya nahe kabhu bhakti adhikari
bhakti-hina laksya-bhrasta visayi samsari

In these six ways, never fit to render pure devotion: bereft of love divine - fallen, materialistic person.
