kiṃ dharmeṇa mamāsti kṛtyamiha kiṃ yogena kiṃ sadguṇaiḥ
kiṃ me brahmamukhena kiṃ murāripordhyānādhināpyadya ca
śrīvṛndāvipineśvarīsarasikāgarveṇa na kvāpi me
cittaṃ kuṇḍarasāmṛtāmbuddhi bhṛtaṃ sajjītyatīvonmadama
- Shri Govardhan Bhatt, Shri Radhakund Stava (42)
What worth do rituals or religious practices hold for me now? Even yoga, disciplines, and virtues seem futile. My heart does not crave even the bliss of ‘Brahmanand’ (bliss of an impersonal form of God), nor can meditation on Murari (Shri Krishna) fulfill my yearning. My mind, absorbed in the pride and glory of the Queen of Vrindavan’s sacred lake (Shri Radha Kund), cannot stray elsewhere. It is so thoroughly intoxicated that it continually drinks nectar from the ocean of nectar that is Radha Kund.
