Translation

Verse 1

If there is only one Supreme Lord, then a true sadhu, even if his wealth increases, gives up his desire for profit, adoration and prestige in this material world.

Verse 2

Your gold, brother, is the father of sense gratification. This meaningful statement was spoken by Prabhupada himself.

Verse 3

Give up your wealth for preaching. Sit down together and make a special effort to come to a decision.

Verse 4

The Supreme Lord says that everything is His. Don’t protest. Just unite and preach.

Verse 5

Srila Prabhupada gave this final message himself. Jake great care to do that completely and in all respects.

Verse 6

Otherwise your sannyasa will be wasted and useless. O saintly ones, be careful, otherwise afterward you will regret.

Verse 7

So what is the difficulty for all of us to come together in this way? And why do all these things even have to be said to you?

Verse 8

Give up your stubbornness, there is no time! Come, all my brothers, on this auspicious holy occasion.
