Siddhanta Madhuri · Pad 73
mana! kyoṁ nahiṁ hari guna gā rahā
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh mind! Why don’t you sing the attributes of Shyāmasundara? Why are you deceiving yourself in this maze–like world? Bhukti and mukti are two extremely powerful witches; why are you allowing yourself to be entrapped by them? Your wife, son, and wealth are all dangerous like the fever, which recurs every third day. Why are you accepting them as your own? Why are you feeling so happy in drinking the poison of the sense-objects? Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that this human body is hard to attain even by heavenly gods. This transient human life is passing away. Therefore, start practising devotion to Shyāmasundara without a moment’s delay.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
mana! kyoṁ nahiṁ hari guna gā rahā
yaha jaga hai ika bhūla bhulaiyā, kyoṁ tū dhokhā khā rahā
bhukti mukti haiṁ prabala pishāchini, kyoṁ inameṁ bharamā rahā
suta vita nārina trividha tijārina, kyoṁ inako apanā rahā
ina indrina vishayana-visha pī mana, kyoṁ itano harashā rahā
nara tanu pāya ‘kripālu’ bhajana karu, yaha jīvana aba jā rahā
