Siddhanta Madhuri · Pad 54
tumahiṁ taji, nahiṁ chahiye goloka
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A rasika who has realized the supreme truth says, “Oh Shyāmasundara! I do not want even Your divine abode, Goloka without You. In the world itself, no maiden likes the home of in-laws’ which is without her beloved. I do not want even that bliss of Your eternal sweet union, which is unmixed with the pleasant pain of separation. I also do not wish for the bliss of Impersonal God in the form of becoming one with Him (Ekatva Brahmānanda) because it is devoid of the dualistic divine love endowed with the emotion of servitude. Leaving the sweetness of Your infinitely alluring form, I do not desire even for that bliss which gyānīs attain by seeing You merely as light. Where then is the question, in the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, of fancying about the happiness of the material regions such as heaven etc. which is infected with the horrible disease of injunctions and prohibitions (vidhi-nishedha).

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
tumahiṁ taji, nahiṁ chahiye goloka
asa sasurari piyāri lagati kehi, piya na hoya jehi oka
asa na chahauṁ tava madhura milana rasa, jahaṁ na viraha-rasa shoka
taji rasa dvaita na chaha sukha nirguṇa, rasa advaita ashoka
taji tava rūpahiṁ nahiṁ chaha bhūlehuṁ, brahmānandāloka
asa ‘kripālu’ rasa ko chaha puni jahaṁ, vidhi nishedha ko roka
