Mana Re Keno Miche Bhajicho Asara?
Bhajan | Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Verse 1
mana re, keno miche bhajicho asāra?
bhūta-moya e soṁsāra jībera pakhete chāra
amaṅgala-samudra apāra
Verse 2
bhūtātīta śuddha-jība, nirañjana sadā-śiba
māyātīta premera ādhāra
taba śuddha-satta tāi, e joḍa-jagate bhāi
keno mugdha ha-o bāra bāra
Verse 3
phire dekho eka-bāra ātma amṛtera dhāra
tā'te buddhi ucita tomāra
tumi ātma-rūpī ho'ye śrī-caitanya-samāśroye
bṛndābane thāko anibāra
Verse 4
nitya-kāla sakhī-saṅge, parānanda-sebā-raṅge
jugala-bhajana koro' sāra
e heno jugala-dhana chāre jei mūrkha jana
tā'ra gati nāhi dekhi āra
Verse 1
O my heart, why do you worship something that is worthless? For the soul this world made of material elements, this world of birth and death, is worthless like a pile of ashes. It is like a shoreless ocean of inauspiciousness.
Verse 2
The pure soul is beyond the material elements, beyond māyā, untouched by matter, always auspicious, the abode of spiritual love. O my brothers, your true nature is pure and spiritual. Why are you bewildered again and again by this material world?
Verse 3
Just once see that the soul is flooded with nectar. That is the right understanding. Understanding that you are a pure soul, please take shelter of Lord Caitanya and always stay in Vṛndāvana.
Verse 4
For eternal time stay among the gopīs and happily serve the divine couple. I cannot see what will happen to the fools who turn away from the treasure that is the divine couple.
