Translation

Verse 1

Think! Think, O my heart! You are very wicked. (You drink the poison of sense pleasures.) You are surrounded by lust, anger, greed, illusion, madness, and a host of faults. (You are in the grip of my enemies.)

Verse 2

You thirst after sense pleasure, impersonal liberation, and mindless gossip. (You think mindless gossip is very pleasant.) Crooked diplomacy, cheating, hankering for fame, and a host of other faults crush you into powder. (You are not honest.) All these dangers now surround you, O my brother. (They are all your enemies.)

Verse 3

If you do not turn from all these, how will you attain Śrī Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa? (Struggle to give them up! Give them up!) Without associating with devotees, how will you attain your desire? (Associate with devotees! Associate with them!) Dive before the feet of the Vaisnavas. Then you will destroy all your faults. (Just once think of all this. Look at all this.)
