Siddhanta Madhuri · Pad 3
anokho lakhyoṁ jagata vyavahāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
The worldly behaviour appears to be extremely strange to me. Every one maintains harmonious relations with others in innumerable ways only so long as his selfish desires are fulfilled. But as soon as he finds his selfish end being thwarted, he looks upon them as his very enemies. The most bewildering fact is that in spite of constantly observing this strange play everywhere in the world, the individual soul does not reflect upon it at all. Although these individuals appear to be outwardly impressed and engrossed in the holy company of saints, inwardly their mind is attached only to the material world. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī humbly states, “Although I myself preach on the Bhāgawata and the Gītā, yet my heart is filled with ego.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
anokho lakhyoṁ jagata vyavahāra
jaba lauṁ swāratha siddha hota raha, taba lauṁ nāta hajāra
jaba hī swārtha-hāni nija dekhata, ari-sama tāhi nihāra
nishi-dina yaha kautuka jaga dekhata, tadapi na karata vichāra
santana-sabhā yadapi sira jhūmata, mana raha vishaya majhāra
kahata ‘kripālu’ bhāgavata gītā, ura abhimāna apāra
