(Kavitt)
Kirati Ki Kamana Chadhaya Chitt, Vitt Asa,
Kavita Jin Kaant-Keli-Kunjan Ki Gaai Hai.
Chhandyau Gharabar, Karain Deh Ki Singar Charu,
Asa-Vasana Ki Man Dundabhi Bajai Hai. [1]
Jog-Jap Bandhain, Kaha Sanjam, Samadhi Vyadhi,
Sadhain Rahau Saans Sansana Hi Haath Aai Hai.
Jakain Thir Priti Haridas-Paad-Padm Saun Na,
Takain Ras-Riti Ki Na Ranchahu Samai Hai. [2]
- Shri Kant Kishor, Shri Kant Kishor Ji Ki Vani (11)
Those who sing of the divine loving pastimes of Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa in the secluded forest bowers, yet secretly harbour ambitions for fame and wealth, or who renounce their homes and worldly possessions while still longing for bodily comforts, pleasures, and adornments, remain inwardly consumed by worldly desires. Within their hearts, the loud drum of worldly hopes and cravings continues to resound. [1]
They may diligently practise yoga, repeat the divine names, observe strict self-discipline, enter deep meditation, or strive to master their breathing, yet what can any of these practices truly accomplish while their minds remain bound by worldly attachments? Without steadfast and exclusive love for the lotus feet of Svāmī Śrī Haridāsa Jī, the supreme sovereign and crown jewel of all rasika devotees, not even the faintest trace of Rasa-Rīti (the mode of divine love-bliss) can find a place within their hearts.
