Mana Keno E Samsoya
Bhajan | Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Verse 1
mana, keno e saṁśoya
joḍa prati ghṛṇā kori' bhajite premera hori
swarūpa lakhite koro bhoya
Verse 2
swarūpa korite dhyāna pache joḍa pāya sthāna
ei bhoye bhabā' bhrama-moya
nirākāra nirañjana sarba-byāpī sanātana
aswarūpa koricho niścoya
Verse 3
abhāba-dharmera baśe swabhāba nā citta paśe
bhābera abhāba tahe hoya
tyaja ei tarka-pāśa parānanda-parakāśa
kṛṣṇacandra koroho āśroya
Verse 4
sac-cid-ānanda-moya kṛṣṇera swarūpa hoya
sarbānanda-mādhurya niloya
sarbatra sampūrṇa-rūpa ei eka aparūpa
sarba-byāpī brahme tāhā noya
Verse 5
ata eva brahma tā'ra aṅga-kānti su-bistāra
brhat boliyā taṅre koya
brahma para-brahma jei śrī-kṛṣṇa-swarūpa sei
binodera jāhāte praṇoya
Verse 1
O my heart, you hate the material world. Why do you hesitate to worship Lord Kṛṣṇa with love? You are afraid to think of a form.
Verse 2
You think that if you meditate on a form you will remain entangled in the world of matter. Pushed by that fear, you meditate on the impersonal Brahman. You are certain the Supreme is formless, qualityless, all-pervading, eternal, and intangible.
Verse 3
O my heart, in the grip of these illusions you do not understand the form of the Supreme Lord. What is true you think is an illusion. Please cut the ropes of false logic and take shelter of supremely blissful Lord Kṛṣṇacandra.
Verse 4
In comparison to the impersonal Brahman, Lord Krsna’s original personal form is composed of eternity, knowledge and bliss. He is the reservoir and source of pleasure and sweetness for all living entities. He is the complete form of beauty at all places and at all times. These are some of His special, wonderful characteristics. None of these wonderful qualities can be found in the impersonal Brahman.
Verse 5
The impersonal Brahman is the effulgence emanating fro Lord Kṛṣṇa's body. This I say. The words "Brahman" and “Supreme Brahman" refer to Lord Kṛṣṇa's form. With that form Bhaktivinoda has fallen in love.
