Translation

Verse 1

One who falsely considers his body to be the self, or practically acts in that bodily consciousness by accepting bodily characteristics or qualities as transcendental qualifications, such a deluded soul has lost their spiritual vision and is no better than the material body they identify with. Therefore, no one in such material bodily consciousness and misidentification can relish the transcendental pastimes of the Supreme Lord, Which are all transcendental, beyond the range of perception by material senses.

Verse 2

A real Vaisnava is transcendental to all material conceptions, yet today those who claim to be Vaisnavas generally are filled with an almost unlimited variety of bodily conceptions due to caste consciousness and caste distinction, and these caste prejudices and disqualifications, the so-called Vaisnavas always take the lead like big heros when it comes to engaging in “relishing the nectar of Lord’s intimate pastimes.”

Verse 3

For example, on post clerk has somehow or other become recognized as a “Gosai Thakur,” or a liberated pure Vaisnava. This way he receives so many obeisances from the babaji mendicants of vṛndāvana.

Verse 4

The so-called “Gosai Ṭhākura” is falsely proud on the basis of bodily distinction, and as a result Lord Nītyānanda Prabhu does not empower him as a bonafide spiritual master, but rather cuts him down into little pieces because of his offensive activities.
