Ek Bar Bhabo Mane
Bhajan | Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Verse 1
ek-bār bhābo mane
āśā-baśe bhrami' hethā, pā'be ki sukha jībane
ke tumi kothāy chile, ki korite hethā ele
kibā kāj kore' gele, jā'be kothā śarīra-patane
Verse 2
keno sukha duḥkha bhoya, ahamtā-mamatā-moya
tuccha jaya-parajaya, krodha hiṁsā dweṣa anya-jane
bhakatibinoda koya, kori gorā-padāśroya
cid-ānanda-rasa-moya, hao Rādhā Kṛṣṇa-nāma-gāne
Verse 1
Just once, think in your heart. As you wander in this life in the grip of material desires, what happiness do you find? Who are you? From where have you come? How did you come here? How will you leave. When this body falls away, where will you go?
Verse 2
Why do you experience pleasure, pain, fear, pathetic victory and defeat, anger, violence, and hatred for others? All these come from material thoughts of "I" and "mine". Bhaktivinoda says: Please take shelter of Lord Caitanya's feet and become filled with the nectar of spiritual bliss as you sing the names of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.
