By surrendering myself at Your feet, I have become supremely happy. All my
distress has gone away, I have no more anxiety, and I see ecstasy in all
directions.
asoka-abhaya,
amrta-adhara,
tomara charana-dvaya
tahate ekhana,
visrama labhiya
chhadinu bhavera bhaya [2]
Your feet are the abode of sorrowlessness, fearlessness, and immortality.
Receiving shelter beneath them, I have abandoned all fear of material
existence.
tomara samsare,
kariba sevana,
nahiba phalera bhagi
tava sukha yahe,
kariba yatana,
ha'ye pade anuragi [3]
I will render service in Your household and will not become an enjoyer of the
results. Lovingly attached to Your feet, I will carefully endeavour for
whatever pleases You.
tomara sevaya,
duhkha haya yata,
seo ta' parama sukha
seva-sukha-duhkha,
parama sampada,
nasaye avidya-duhkha [4]
All the distress I encounter in Your service is also my greatest happiness.
Both the distress and the happiness that come from engagement in Your service
are my greatest fortune; they both destroy the distress of ignorance.
purva itihasa,
bhulinu sakala,
seva-sukha peye mane
ami ta' tomara,
tumi ta' amara,
ki kaja apara dhane [5]
Feeling the happiness of Your service in my heart, I have completely
forgotten all past history. I am Yours, and You are mine. What need is there
for any other wealth?
bhakati-vinoda,
anande dubiya,
tomara sevara tare
saba chesta kare,
tava ichchha mata,
thakiya tomara ghare [6]
Living in the ecstasy of Your service, Bhakti Vinod performs all his
endeavours in accordance with Your will, residing within Your home.
'I told him, 'Why are you talking like this? You will be OK, do not worry,'
but who will listen to me? The Lord is the proprietor. 'Marabi rakhabi, yo
ichchha tohara: You can kill me, You can protect me, it is up to
You.''
