Translation

Verse 1

A life without devotional service is wasted. Piety and sin are only illusions. They are artificial things placed over the soul.

Verse 2

When meant to lead to knowledge of impersonal Brahman, yoga, yajñas, austerities, meditation, sannyāsa, and other activities are only many shackles that bind the soul.

Verse 3

Listen to Bhaktivinoda's words. Turn from all these. In your heart take shelter of pure love for Lord Kṛṣṇa, love that is beyond the artificial designations of this world.
