Translation

Verse 1

Ah! If someone employs ordinary material logic to understand the difference between matter and spirit, his intelligence will be caught in a net of illusions. he will not understand the truth.

Verse 2

I know that a person who says that the material world is a perverted reflection of the spiritual world knows the secret that is the pure truth.

Verse 3

Whatever is seen in the material world is an imitation of what is already present in the spiritual world. However, everything in the spiritual world is faultless, and everything in the material world is full of faults.

Verse 4

In the spiritual world the non-material love that culminates in the ecstasy of mahā-bhāva is very sweet. In the material world that spiritual love is pervertedly reflected. That reflection, that pathetic imitation, is the material love of material men and women, a love whose pleasures lead to an ocean of troubles.

Verse 5

By the power of his sincere spiritual meditation accepting a spiritual female body, the liberated soul joyfully worships Lord Kṛṣṇa eternally.
