TRANSLATION
1) O mind, I grasp your feet and beg you with sweet words: Please cast
away all hypocrisy and develop intense, unprecedented love for my
spiritual master, Vrajabhumi, the people of Vraja, the Vaisnavas, the
brahmanas, the Gayatri mantra, the holy name, and the transcendental
shelter that is the fresh young couple of Vraja, Radha and Krsna.
2) O Mind, don’t concern yourself with the pious and impious deeds
described in the Vedas. Rather, intently serve Sri Sri Radha-Krsna in Vraja.
Always remember that Lord Caitanya is the son of Maharaja Nanda and
that my guru is most dear to Lord Mukunda.
3) O Mind, just listen to me! If you desire to reside in Vraja birth after birth,
and if you desire to directly serve the divine youthful couple there with
great attraction, then with intense love always remember and bow down
to Srila Svarupa Damodara Gosvami; to Srila Rupa Gosvami and his elder
brother, Srila Sanatana Gosvami; and to all their associates and followers.
4) O mind, give up friendship with nondevotees, which is nothing but a
prostitute who will steal the treasure of your heart–your desire to serve
Radha-Krsna. Don’t listen to talks of impersonal liberation, which are a
tigress who devours everyone. You should even give up attraction for Lord
Narayana, which leads to the world of Vaikuntha. Instead, O mind, just
worship Sri Sri Radha-Krsna in Vraja, for They bestow upon their
worshipers the jewel of pure love for Themselves.
5) The highwaymen of lust and his friends have bound me around the neck
with the painful, horrible, powerful ropes of many wicked deeds. O mind,
please scream out to the devotees of Krsna, the killer of Baka, "I am
being killed!" Then He will save me.
6) O Mind, why do you burn us both by bathing in the urine trickling from
the ass of great deviousness and hypocrisy? Instead, you should delight
us by eternally bathing in the glistening nectar-ocean of pure love for Sri
Sri Gandharva-Giridhari (Sri Sri Radha-Krsna).
7) As long as the impudent untouchable woman of the desire for fame
dances in my heart, why should pure love for Radha-Krsna touch me? O
mind, continuously serve my spiritual master, the leader of those who are
dear to the Lord. Then my master will quickly kick out that harridan and
allow that pure love to enter.
8) So That He will mercifully smash my wickedness (even though I am a
great rascal), so that He will give me the splendid nectar of
transcendental love, and so He will engage me in Sri Radha’s service,
please, O mind, with words choked with emotion, worship Lord Giridhari
here in Vraja.
9) O mind, please meditate on Krsna, the moon of Vraja forest, as the Lord
of my controller, Srimati Radharani. And please meditate upon Srimati
Radharani, the queen of Vraja forest, as Krsna’s controller. Also please
meditate upon Lalita as the peerless friend of Radha and Krsna, Visakha
as the guru who teaches Them many things, and Radha-kunda and
Govardhana Hill as two places the mere sight of which bestows charming
transcendental love for the divine couple.
10) O mind, please worship Lord Hari’s beloved Radha. with the splendor of
Her beauty She makes Rati, Gauri, and Lila burn with envy, with the
power of Her good fortune She defeats Saci, Laksmi, and Satyabhama,
and with Her ability to control Krsna She completely eclipses Candravali
and the other pious young girls of Vraja.
11) O mind, in order to attain the direct service of the two divine lovers, Sri
Sri Radha-Giridhari, in the company of Their friends, every day you must
constantly drink, with Sri Rupa Gosvami, the five nectars of worshiping
Them, chanting Their names, meditating on Them, hearing about Them,
and bowing down before Them, and every day you must worship
Govardhana Hill.
12)These eleven excellent instructions to the mind grant all spiritual
benedictions. A person who stays with the devotees, follows Srila Rupa
Gosvami, and with a sweet voice loudly sings these eleven verses will
attain the matchless jewel of direct service to Sri Sri Radha-Krsna in the
forest of Gokula.
