Siddhanta Madhuri · Pad 37
gaho re mana! shyāma charaṇa sharaṇāī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A devotee addresses his mind thus, “Oh my mind! Take refuge in the lotus-feet of Shyāmasundara because your near and dear ones, i.e. your mother, father, brother, son, etc. for whom you are wasting the precious time of your life, will not accompany you after death. Again, there is no other way to win lust, anger, greed, infatuation, false pride and other such vices, except surrender to Bhagwan Kṛishṇa. This world is like a mirage, giving illusion of happiness, but actually, it is impossible to find even an iota of happiness in it. Material wealth, youth and this body are all momentary, disappearing with the passage of time like camphor.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh mind! You will not get this human body again and again, therefore immediately strive to attain divine happiness, which you are craving for since time immemorial, by surrendering yourself to Bhagwan Kṛishṇa.”

gaho re mana! shyāma charaṇa sharaṇāī
anta samaya kou kāma na aihaiṁ, māta, pitā suta bhāī
kāma, krodha aru lobha, moha, mada, ina soṁ kachhu na basāī
yaha jaga mṛiga-tṛishṇā sama dīkhata, sukha-lavalesha na pāī
dhana-yauvana-tana chhana-bhaṅgura saba, jyoṁ kapūra ud̤i jāī
bahuri ‘kripālu’ na nara-tanu pāiya, bigarī lehu banāī
