rasika-jana gaye phori sira hāra

English meaning

Many great saints racked their brains but this eternally wretched and obstinate individual soul could not understand. When even after well experiencing the bitter reality of the worldly objects, and admitting with his own mouth that there is nothing in this world but grief and grief alone, the individual soul could not be detached from them even in the least, then, how is it possible for it to understand those spiritual subjects which are beyond the reach of intellect and of whose happiness, it has no experience at all? Even though many great saints and God Himself came down on this earth for the welfare of the world, still the world remained as it was; only a few rare souls could be liberated from the shackles of the world (māyā). Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “The saints know all this very well, yet due to their nature of causeless mercy and doing good to others, they continue coming into this world, and leave no stone unturned to help the suffering humanity.”
