Translation

Verse 1

Why do you dislike the way foreigners worship the Lord? Different people in different countries have different ways of worship.

Verse 2

Some worship as Buddhists. Others kneel down when they worship. Others close their eyes and worship the impersonal Brahman.

Verse 3

Other sit in yoga postures and worship. Others dive into saṅkīrtana. All worship the same Supreme Person, the same treasure, the same Lord Kṛṣṇa.

Verse 4

Everyone should be brothers. Everyone should serve Lord Kṛṣṇa with great love, both throughout life and at the moment of death.
