Siddhanta Madhuri · Pad 26
are mana! swāratha ko sansāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh mind! This whole world is selfish. Just as a bumblebee inhales the sweet smell of a flower humming on it sweetly, but no sooner does the flower wither away and falls on the ground, than the bee stops looking at it even by mistake. Similarly, son, wife, husband, friend etc., all worldly relatives maintain relationship only so long as their selfish ends continue to be fulfilled. Ponder over this fact seriously. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Therefore, Oh mind! You too, abandoning these selfish people, practise devotion to Shyāmasundara alone.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
are mana! swāratha ko sansāra
vikasita kusuma suvāsa leta jimi, madhukara kari guñjāra
jaba hī kusuma girata bhūtala para, bhūli na tāhi nihāra
tyoṁ jaga putra, kalatra, mitra, pati, jahaṁ lagi nātedāra
binu swāratha kou bāta karata nahiṁ, karu gambhīra vichāra
tāte bhaju ‘kripālu’ aba nishidina, nāgara nandakumāra
