    • e ghora-saṁsāre    paḍiyā mānava
    • nā pāya duḥkhera śeṣa
    • sādhu-saṅga kari’    hari bhaje yadi
    • tabe anta haya kleśa
    • A person who has fallen into this terrible world never ceases to suffer. If one associates with sādhus and serves Hari, however, one’s suffering comes to an end.

    • viṣaya anale    jvalichhe hṛdaya
    • anale bāḍaye anala
    • aparādha chhāḍi’    laya kṛṣṇa-nāma
    • anale paḍaye jala
    • A fallen soul burns in the ever-increasing fire of mundanity. Avoiding offences, chant Kṛṣṇa’s Name. This pours water on the fire.

    • nitāi chaitanya    charaṇa-kamale

    • Kāli Dās says, “Anyone who has taken shelter of Nitāi and Chaitanya’s lotus feet is my shelter, in life and in death.”
