prāṇadhana jīvana kuñja bihārī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Lord of my life, Kuñjabihārī Shrī Kṛishṇa! You alone are my ‘everything’. The relationship between us is an eternal one and shall remain so forever. I forgot this relationship due to ignorance. You may, if You wish, fulfil my eternal desire by embracing me, or You may torment me by becoming indifferent to me, or You may even kick and renounce me forever. Oh Lord of my life! Please do whatever makes You happy. Your happiness will always be my greatest pleasure. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the very definition of selfless love is the complete renunciation of one’s own desires and derivation of happiness by seeing the Beloved happy. One who loves selfishly in the expectation of being loved back ought to be called a businessman, not a lover.

prāṇadhana jīvana kuñja bihārī
tuma to rahe sanātana hamare, hauṁ hūṁ rahī tihārī
ura lagāya bhuja bhari hari chāhe, puravahu āsa hamārī
chāhe mohiṁ tad̤apāu mori mukha, paga ṭhukarāva murārī
jehi vidhi pivu sukha pāu kariya soi, mo kahaṁ soi sukha bhārī
yaha ‘kripālu’ hai rīti prīti kī, nija sukha chaha vyāpārī
