Lakhon mahafil jahan men yun
to, teri mahafil si mehfil nahin hai.
Oh my beloved Krishna! There are thousands of gatherings the world over,
but none compares with Yours. Whether the king of the celestial abodes, Indra,
or a pauper, everyone is treated equally by You. The one who knows the truth of
Your divine personality, can’t find happiness from anyone or anything but You.
If some exhausted soul who has been rotating in the 8.4 million species of life
comes knocking at Your door, You give him the sweet nectar of Your divine
glance to drink, and this nectar is impossible to explain in words, yet its
effects are impossible to hide from the eyes of the world. You say that You
alone are ours and that we should form all our relationships only with You.
There is no bigger fool than the one who knows this and still fails to love
You. Those who live and die for You, and who remain in the fire of feeling
separation from You…
Oh, Krishna, they have full faith that You are merciful, never merciless.
He who becomes addicted to Your divine love nectar, finds even God’s almighty
Vaikunth abode bland and tasteless in comparison. He who drowns in the ocean of
Your divine love never again surfaces, for there is a whirlpool in this ocean
and no shore. In love there is only the desire to give and give; a true lover
never thinks of taking anything. One who desires something from the Beloved is
ignorant, and is certainly not a Rasik Saint of Braj. The only thing you have
to do is accept Him as yours and learn to long for Him. He will embrace You. He
is seated in your heart and noting your thoughts and feelings. Give me just a
drop of Your divine nectar to drink. Will your treasure decrease if you give me
this much? After receiving Your love if a soul leaves You, there is no one as
foolish as he. Serving Him selflessly is true action, and being happy in His
happiness is true dharma.
Put the reins of your life in His hands. After all, He is not a miser. He
is ‘Kripalu’ (the unconditional and unlimited giver of divine grace).
