Translation

Verse 1

O my heart, I see five endless sufferings: 1. avidyā (ignorance), 2. asmitā (false ego), 3. abhiniveśa (being absorbed in material things), 4. durvāra rāga (irresistable attachment), and 5. dveṣa (aversion).

Verse 2

1. Avidyā (ignorance) comes from forgetting the Supreme Lord. 2. Asmitā (false ego) comes from directing one's thoughts away from the Supreme Lord. 3. Abhiniveśa (being absorbed in material things) comes from rapt meditation on things other than the Supreme Lord. 4. Durvāra rāga (irresistable attachment) comes from blind love for things other than the Supreme Lord. 5. dveṣa (aversion) comes from the struggle to purify the soul. These five sufferings always torment me.

Verse 3

Forgetting the world of Vaikuṇṭha, I became mad for Māyā's pleasures. With "I", "I", I surrounded myself. Again and again I thought, "This is mine, and that is also mine." O my brothers, in this way my heart was filled with anxieties.

Verse 4

I searched for a way to cure this disease. Alas! Alas! I met a physician who was like death personified. He said, “I am the Supreme Brahman. Māyā is to be unaware of that truth." Now I see that his medicine brought me unbearable pain.

Verse 5

On one side is the disease of materialism. On the other side is the demon physician of impersonalism, a physician like death personified. How will I escape my troubles? If I take shelter of merciful Lord Caitanya, I will easily cross over these horrible calamities.
