Translation

Verse 1

Deep within, I was always anxious about the maintenance of my wife, children, body, and relatives.

Verse 2

“How shall I earn money? How shall I attain fame? How will I arrange the marriages of my sons and daughters?”

Verse 3

Now that I have fully offered myself, I have no more anxiety. You will maintain Your household, O Lord!

Verse 4

You will certainly maintain me, knowing me to be Your servant. O Lord! In Your service I feel the greatest joy.

Verse 5

All activity happens according to Your will, O Lord, yet souls think, “I do”. This is not at all true.

Verse 6

What are the souls able to do if You do not act? The souls can only desire. It is Your will alone that comes to pass.

Verse 7

Free from all anxiety, I will serve You. Whatever happens in Your household, be it good or bad, will not be my responsibility.

Verse 8

Completely detached, Bhakti Vinod abandons his independence and serves Your feet.
