Hari Hari! Ki Mora Karama Abhaga

hari hari! ki mora karama abhāga biphale jīvana gela hṛdaye rahila śela nāhi bhela hari-anurāga

O Lord Hari, Lord Hari, everything that I do is inauspicious. I have uselessly wasted my life, and I have no love for You. It is as if my heart were pierced by a sharp javelin.

yajña dāna tīrtha-sthāna puṇya-karma japa dhyāna akāraṇe saba gela mohe bujhilāma mane hena upahāsa haya jena vastra hīna alaṅkāra dehe

Vedic sacrifices, charity, bathing in holy places of pilgrimage, pious deeds, mantra-chanting, and meditation, are all useless and illusory. When I think of these things laughter arises within my mind. Engaging in these activities without performing devotional service is like placing valuable ornaments on a body colthed in rags.

sādhu-mukhe kathāmṛta śuniyā bimala citta nāhi bhela aparādha-karāṇa satata asat-saṅga sakali haila bhaṅga ki kariba āile śamana

Although I sometimes hear the nectarean message of Godhead from the mouths of the devotees, because I commit so many offenses, I do not become purified. I continually associate with non-devotees, and in this way all my spiritual advancement is broken apart. Furthermore, death will soon appear on my horizon.

śruti smṛti sadā rabe śuniyāchi ei sabe hari-pada abhaya śaraṇa janama laiyā sūkhe kṛṣṇa nā balinū mūkhe nā karinū se rūpa-bhāvana

Although I have repeatedly heard the Sruti and Smrti scriptures' declaration that one should take shelter of the Lord Hari's lotus feet in order to become fearless, nevertheless I refuse to happily chant the holy name of Lord Krsna, and I decline to meditate on His transcendental form.

rādhā-kṛṣṇa dūṅha-pāya tanū mana rahu tāya āra dūre jāuka bāsanā narottama dāse kaya āra mora nāhi bhaya tanū mana saṁpinū āpanā

I shall now concentrate my mind on the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna, and all my material desires will flee far away. Narottama dasa says---Now that I have fixed my mind on Sri Sri Radha and Krsna, I am no longer afraid of my future.
