Tomar Gambhir Mana Nahi Bujhe
Yamuna Bhavavali Song 6
hari he tomāra gambhīra mana nāhi
bujhe anya jana sei mana anusāri saba
jagata-udbhāba-sthiti pralaya-soṁsāra-gati
mukti ādi śaktira baibhaba
Oh, my Lord Hari! Your mind is extremely grave, and Your deep intentions cannot be understood by any other person, although all living beings are unconsciously following Your mind. The opulences of Your magnificent potencies produce the creation, maintenance and ultimate destruction of the material worlds, as well as provide for liberation from these temporary abodes.
e saba baidika līlā icchā-mātra
prokāśilā jībera bāsanā anusāre
tomāte bimukha ho'ye mājila abidyā
lo'ye sei jība karma- pārābāre
These pastimes of creation, maintenance and destruction are all described in the Vedic scripture. And You have manifested it all according to Your own sweet will, in order to fulfill the materialistic desires of certain souls. When they become averse to You, they then become drowned in the darkest ignorance within the ocean of fruitive actions and reactions.
punah ̣ jadi bhakti kori ' bhaje
bhakta-saṅga dhori ' tabe pāya tomāra
caraṇa antaraṅga-līlā-rase bhase māyā
nā paraśe bhaktibinodera phire mana
However, if one again revives his devotional service to You, and worships You in the association of Your devotees, then he can attain Your lotus feet. Thus Bhaktivinoda's mind has been changed back onto the path towards You by floating in the mellows of Your confidential pastimes, which maya is not able to touch.
