tajo re mana! chhana-bhaṅgura bairāga

English meaning

A devotee addresses his mind thus – “Oh mind! It is no use getting detached from the world momentarily. First of all, you must surrender yourself to genuine saints with absolute faith, and then alone your darkness of ignorance will be dispelled. It is only by associating yourself continuously with the saints and obeying them to the letter that you will have attachment for the lotus-feet of God (Shrī Kṛishṇa). Then, yearning desperately for His sweet meeting, you will burn in the fire of separation before the divine meeting. Oh my mind! It is then that you, who are thus burnt in the fire of separation, will become absolutely purified and attain natural, pure, selfless divine love through the grace of the saints.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh mind! Then, through that natural love attained by the grace of the saints, you will become naturally detached from all worldly objects, and, being engrossed in the natural divine love-bliss, will be gratified eternally.” The meaning is that, if, by getting perturbed by worldly sorrows, you (the mind) will make someone a mendicant, the result can be extremely disastrous.
