TRANSLATION
1) O my dear mind! May you
become a transcendentally maddened Baul while
remaining at home. Why do you engage in wicked
activities?
2) You may keep the mood of
a Baul within your mind, and giving up improper
association you will automatically obtain sense pleasures in accordance with
religious principles. Thus you will pass your life while every moment
experiencing the bliss of Hari-nama.
3) One who renounces his
home while his heart is not yet purified is called a markata-vairagi
("monkey-like renunciant"). By the heart being
full of offenses, acting under the control of the enemy, one sinks lower and
lower at every step.
4) A renunciant
immature in renunciation is one who swindles the wives of others and thus
remains just like a fat monkey in charge of a harem of female monkeys.
Furthermore, such a person
goes from door to door out of greed to receive monetary donations. Thus he
engages in the so-called worship of even fallen and degraded souls.
5) May your own mind become
ripened with maturity while remaining at home. And just perform Hari-nama sankirtan each and
every day. Then, in Chand Baul's
company, you shall utterly renounce the material world.
