chhāṁd̤i de mana! ad̤abaṅgī rīti
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh mind! Abandon your perverseness and obey the command of rasikas. This human body can be destroyed in just one moment; why do you depend on it? Even though momentary, this human body is rare even to heavenly gods. This will be spent in a few days. Therefore, love Shyāmasundara, the crest-jewel of rasikas, unflinchingly. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī adds, “By doing so, you will get eternal freedom from fear of all fears.”

chhāṁd̤i de mana! ad̤abaṅgī rīti
nija ad̤abaṅgī rīti chhāṁd̤i mana, gahu rasikana kī nīti
yaha nara tanu chhana bhaṅgura yāko, kahā karata paratīti
yaha devana durlabha tana jaihaiṁ, chāra dinā mahaṁ bīti
rasika shiromaṇi naṭanāgara soṁ, kari le nishi dina prīti
tāte mana ‘kripālu’ miṭi jaihaiṁ, sabai bhīti kī bhīti
