Jihva Tane Rasa Prati
Bhajan | Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati
Verse 1
jihva tane rasa prati upastha kadarthe
udara bhojane tane visama anarthe
Verse 2
carmma tane sayadite, sravana kathaya
ghrana tane surabhite caksu drsye yaya
Verse 3
karmendriya karme sane
bahu-patni yatha grha-pati
akarsaya mora mana tatha
Verse 4
e mata avastha mora sri-nandanandana
ki rupe tomara lila kariba smarana
Verse 1
The tongue drags me toward taste, while the genitals degrade me utterly; the belly pulls me toward eating — such is the terrible misfortune of these unchecked senses.
Verse 2
The skin drags me toward soft, comfortable things; the ears toward pleasant talk; the nose toward fragrance; and the eyes go wherever there is something to see.
Verse 3
My organs of action pull me toward their own activities, just as a householder with many wives is pulled in many directions at once — in just that way do they drag at my mind.
Verse 4
O son of Nanda, this is the state I am in — in what way, then, shall I ever manage to remember your pastimes?
