Bhajane Utsaha Bhaktite Visvasa
Bhajana Lalasa Song 3
hari
he! bhajane
utsāha, bhaktite viśvāsa, prema-labhe
dhairya-dhana bhakti-anukūla, karma-pravartana, asat-saṅga-visarjana
Enthusiasm in devotional service, faith in the process of devotional service, the treasure of patience in endeavoring to attain love of God, performing activities conducive to pure devotion, abandoning the company of worldly people, performing approved devotional practices -- I have never possessed these six devotional qualities. How, then, shall I give up the association of maya and worship Your lotus feet, O Lord?
bhakti-sadācāra, ei chaya guna, nāhilo
āmāra nātha! kemone
bhojibo, tomāra caraṇa, chāḍiyā
māyāra sātha
Enthusiasm in devotional service, faith in the process of devotional service, the treasure of patience in endeavoring to attain love of God, performing activities conducive to pure devotion, abandoning the company of worldly people, performing approved devotional practices -- I have never possessed these six devotional qualities. How, then, shall I give up the association of maya and worship Your lotus feet, O Lord?
garhita
ācāre, rohilāma moji', nā
korinu sādhu-saṅga lo'ye
sādhu-veśa, āne upadeśi, e
boḍo māyāra raṅga
Absorbed in abominable activities, I never kept company with sadhus. Now I adopt the garb of the sadhus and instruct others. This is maya's big joke.
e
heno daśāya, ahaitukī kṛpā, tomāra
pāibo, hari! śrī-guru-āśroye, ḍākibo tomāya, kabe
vā minati kori'
O Lord Hari, in such a helpless condition surely I will obtain Your causeless mercy. O when, under the shelter of my spiritual master, will I call out to You with humble prayers?
