Eo To Eka Kalir Cela
Song 6
eo to' eka
kalir celā māthā
neḍā kapni parā, tilak nāke, galāy mālā
Here is just another disciple of Kali-yuga! He keeps his head shaved, wears a loincloth, tilak on his nose and tulasi beads around his neck.
dekhte
vaiṣṇaver mata, āsalo śākta kājer belā sahaja-bhajan
korchena māmu, saṅge
lo'ye parer bālā
By looks he appears to be a Vaisnava, but in actuality his conduct is that of a sakta, one who worships the principle of material energy in order to enjoy her. He engages in sahaja-bhajan (so-called "natural worship"), but does so by posing as "uncle" to the children of others, and then stealthily taking the illicit association of their daughters.
sakhī-bhāve
bhajchena tā're, nije ho'ye nanda-lālā kṛṣṇa-dāser
kathār chale mahā-janake dicchena śalā
Accepting these young girls as sakhis (Radha's gopi friends), he fancies himself to be the Son of Nanda. By the deceptive lecturing about how everyone should become Krsna-dasa (the servant of himself as "Krsna"), this disciple of Kali-yuga thus hurls a sharp spear at the true devotees of the Lord.
nava-rasika
āpane māni' khācchena ābār mana-kolā bāul
bole dohāi, o bhāi, dūra koro e līlā-khelā
Giving artificial recognition to nava-rasika (the nine relishers), he thus eats and enjoys the bananas of his own mental fabrications. Cand Baul says, "O my dear brothers! Desist from this bogus imitation of the Lord's amorous sports."
