hoti jaga ika anahonī bāta

English meaning

There is one such improbable thing, which happens in the world always. Actually how astonishing this is that something, which is impossible to occur in all the three times - past, present and future, takes place in the world day and night! Rasikas state that all individual souls are like brides of the Supreme soul, Shyāmasundara. It is universally known that the bridegroom Shyāmasundara is a reservoir of infinite divine bliss and the bride, the individual soul, is deprived of bliss because of being under māyā since the time without beginning. Hence, it is proved that without meeting the bridegroom in the form of Shyāmasundara, the bride in the form of individual soul cannot be happy even in a dream. But look at the wondrous action of this world! One bride (the individual soul) becomes the bride of another bride (the individual soul). Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that one who realizes this secret becomes attached to Shyāmasundara detaching oneself from the material world at once.
