tuma jīvana-jīvana jīvanadhana
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh treasure of my life, Shyāmasundara! You are the soul of all souls. The lives of those souls alone are blessed, who have surrendered their life to You. You also surrender Yourself to the souls who surrender themselves to You – this is Your promise. After surrendering themselves to You, those souls become carefree like a newborn child and You protect them moment after moment like a mother. You do not pay any heed at all even to one of their innumerable vices and regard even one virtue in them as equal to innumerable virtues. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that not only this but You also consider those souls, who surrender to the souls who are surrendered to You, as dearest among Your dear devotees.

tuma jīvana-jīvana jīvanadhana
tina jīvana-jīvana basa jīvana, jina jīvana, kiya jīvana arapana
jina kiya nija kahaṁ arapana tina kahaṁ, arapana kara nija kahaṁ yaha tava pana
tina diya bhāra ḍāri tohiṁ shishu janu, tuma saṁbhāra jananī janu chhana chhana
tinake avaguna ginata na aganita, aganita kari tina kahaṁ ika guna gana
kaha ‘kripālu’ puni te jina jana-jana, tina mānata nija-jana mahaṁ priya-jana
