Gora Panhu
Aksepa Song 1
gaurā
pahu nā bhajiyā goinu prema-ratana-dhana helāya hārāinu
I did not worship Lord Gauranga Prabhu and thus I became full of suffering. I refused to accept the treasure of pure love of Krsna, and thus I became lost.
adhane
yatana kari dhana teyāginu āpana karama-doṣe āpani ḍubinu
I reject the treasure of love of Krsna and deliberately struggled to become poor. I dived into a host of sinful deeds.
sat-saṅga
chāḍi' kainu asate vilāsa te-kāraṇe lāgilo ye karma-bandha-phāṅsa
I rejected the association of the saintly devotees, and instead tried to enjoy among the impious non-devotees. In this way I became caught in the noose of karma.
viṣaya-viṣama-viṣa
satata khāinu gaura-kīrtana-rase magana nā hainu
I continually drank the virulent poison of sense-gratification. I refused to swim in the nectar of Lord Caitanya's sankirtana movement.
keno
vā āchaye prāṇa ki sukha pāiyā narottam dās keno nā gelo mariyā
Why do I stay alive? What happiness do I have? Why did Narottama dasa not die long ago?
