Verse 1

O my dear mind! Please be alert and cautious-do not forget the treasure that is the principle of śuddha sahaja tattva (pure natural truth as opposed to bogus sahajiyā tendency). Otherwise ultimately in the grip of Māyā you will perpetually weep.

Verse 2

The pure spirit soul is not material, O brother-understand this correctly-but is actually a female sakhī living in Vṛndāvana. When the soul worships her Lord Kṛṣṇa-candra in this mood, then she becomes immersed in pure happiness, incessantly tasting the sweetness of the madhura-rasa.

Verse 3

While still living within the material body, she engages in sādhana-bhakti (regulated devotional service), developing detachment through the cultivation of jñāna (transcendental knowledge), and thus passes life in accordance with religious principles. Such a devotee lives either at home or in the forest, and remains engrossed in calling out the name "Kṛṣṇa!" with single-minded diligence.

Verse 4

Verily this is called sahaja-bhajan, or natural worship. It is conducted with a purified mind, and is the one and only means for attaining Kṛṣṇa. Whoever deviates from this process by imposing their own concocted philosophy indeed perishes their activities are not bhajan.

Verse 5

This is the conviction of Chand Baul. The devotee of Lord Chaitanya named Chota Haridasa somehow embarked on an improper path; by the mercy of the Son of mother Saci, he was cast away, alas, and did not again attain the lotus feet of Gauranga.
