Bhajane Utsaha Bhaktite Visvasa

(1) hari he! bhajane utsāha, bhaktite viśvāsa, prema-labhe dhairya-dhana bhakti-anukūla, karma-pravartana, asat-sańga-visarjana (2) bhakti-sadācāra, ei chaya guna, nāhilo āmāra nātha! kemone bhojibo, tomāra caraṇa, chāḍiyā māyāra sātha (3) garhita ācāre, rohilāma moji’, nā korinu sādhu-sańga lo’ye sādhu-veśa, āne upadeśi, e boḍo māyāra rańga (4) e heno daśāya, ahaitukī kṛpā, tomāra pāibo, hari! śrī-guru-āśroye, ḍākibo tomāya, kabe vā minati kori’

(1)-(2) Enthusiasm in devotional service, faith in the process of devotional service, the treasure of patience in endeavoring to attain love of God, performing activities conducive to pure devotion, abandoning the company of worldly people, performing approved devotional practices — I have never possessed these six devotional qualities. How, then, shall I give up the association of maya and worship Your lotus feet, O Lord? (3) Absorbed in abominable activities, I never kept company with sadhus. Now I adopt the garb of the sadhus and instruct others. This ismaya’s big joke. (4) O Lord Hari, in such a helpless condition surely I will obtain Your causeless mercy. O when, under the shelter of my spiritual master, will I call out to You with humble prayers?
