Ghare Bose' Baul Hao Re Mana
Bhajan | Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Verse 1
ghare bose' bāul hao re mana,
keno korbi duṣṭa ācaraṇa
Verse 2
mane mane rākhbi bāul-bhāva,
saṅga chāḍi' dharma-bhāve korbi viṣaya lābha
jīvana jāpana korbi, hari-nāmānande sarva-kṣaṇa
Verse 3
jata-dina hṛdoy-śodhana noy,
ghara chāḍle pare 'markaṭa-vairāgī' tā're koy
hṛdoy-doṣe ripur bośe, pade pade tā'r patana
Verse 4
eṅcaḍe-pākā vairāgī je hoy,
parer nārī lo'ye pāler godā ho'ye roy
(ābār) artha-lobhe dvāre dvāre kore nīcer ārādhana
Verse 5
ghare bose' pākāo nijer mana,
ār sakala-dina koro harir nām-saṅkīrtana
tabe cāṅd bāuler saṅge śeṣe korbi saṁsāra visarjana
Verse 1
O my dear mind! May you become a transcendentally maddened Bāul while remaining at home. Why do you engage in wicked activities?
Verse 2
You may keep the mood of a Bāul within your mind, and giving up improper association you will automatically obtain sense pleasures in accordance with religious principles. Thus you will pass your life while every moment experiencing the bliss of Hari-nāma.
Verse 3
One who renounces his home while his heart is not yet purified is called a markaṭa-vairāgī ("monkey-like renunciant").xii By the heart being full of offenses, acting under the control of the enemy, one sinks lower and lower at every step.
Verse 4
A renunciant immature in renunciation is one who swindles the wives of others and thus remains just like a fat monkey in charge of a harem of female monkeys. Furthermore, such a person goes from door to door out of greed to receive monetary donations. Thus he engages in the so-called worship of even fallen and degraded souls.
Verse 5
May your own mind become ripened with maturity while remaining at home. And just perform Hari-nāma saṅkīrtan each and every day. Then, in Chāṅd Bāul's company, you shall utterly renounce the material world.
