Ore Mana Klesa Tapad

Upalabdhi : Anutapa-laksana-upalabdhi Song 5

1

ore mana, klesa-tapad dekhi je asesa avidya,
asmita ar, abhinivesa durbar, raga,
dvesa --- ei panca klesa

avidya: ignorance makes me completely forgetful of my nature as pure spirit soul

2

avidyatma-bismarana, asmityanya-bhibhavana,
abhinivesanye gadamati anye priti ragandhata,
vidvesatma bisuddhata, panca klesa sadai durgati

asmita: conceited egoistic pride causes me to be distracted from the real essence of life.

3

bhuliya baikuntha-tattva, maya-bhoge su-pramatta,
' ami ' ' ami ' koriya bedai ' e amar, se amar ',
e bhavana anibar, byasta kore ' mor citta bhai

Due to all these distracting troubles, I am forgetting my real home in the spiritual world, the eternal land of no anxiety. And I have become completely mad by frantically trying to enjoy all the so-called enjoyments offered by maya's illusions. Thus I surround myself with so many misconceptions of "me, me, me ". Oh mind, my dear brother, just see how my heart has become full of so much anxiety due to constant worries about "this is mine, that is mine".

4

e roga-samanopay, anvesiya hay hay,
mile baidya sadya yamopama ami brahma
maya-bhrama ' ei ausadher krama,
dheki ' cinta hoilo bisama

I am searching for the remedy to cure this material disease of being tortured by Yamaraja, but oh no! I've met a doctor who is no better than Yamaraja at all. This 'doctor' has given me the prescription "I am Brahman, maya is false", but now when I see the result of this so-called medicine, I feel an unbearable anxiety in my conscience.

5

eke to' roger kasta, yamopama baidya bhrasta,
e jantrana kise jay mor? sri caitanya doyamoy,
koro ' jadi samasroy, par habe e bipada ghor

On one side I feel great difficult and grief from these five material miseries and on the other side stands the corrupted doctor (the Mayavadi who is just like another Yamaraja ). How will I ever be able to get freed from being sandwiched in between this tormenting agony? There is only one remedy, that is: if I would simply take complete shelter of Lord Caitanya, Who is know to be the Most Merciful, then only I will easily cross over this ghastly calamity.
