Kashi Gita - 1st Bilva Leaflet

(Recently Swami stayed at Benaras for a few days and composed this song walking on the bank of the sacred river Ganga. Each chapter is named as the leaflet of Bilva, which is said to be very dear to Lord Shiva.

Swami was repeatedly telling that His skull may be broken in Kashi since He is starting to Kashi on Amavashya, Adivasara (Sunday) and Ashlesha star.  He was telling devotees to throw away His body in to the river there without any trace of worry since the gross body is only the external shirt.  Devotees were deeply pained at His statement.  On the very first day in Kashi, Swami fell on gravel floor.  His skull cracked with terrible pain and face was profusely bleeding with serious injuries.  Swami prayed for Kalabhairava spontaneously through the following songs and a verse at the end.

Kalabhairava Swami

Kalabhairava Swami – Kathamadhuna naayati?
Kashi pura palaka pahi – Kamitartham mama dehi (chorus).
KalajatabharaChandrakaladhara! KalaagnikundaPhalalochana
Hara!
Kalikahrudayakamalinichara!   Kaladandavalayabhramanakara!

(How the Lord Kalabhairava is not coming so far? O Ruler of Kashi! Protect Me.  Fulfill My desired request.  You are having the first moon on your black hair cloud. You are possessing destructive fire in the eye on your fore head.  You are moving in the lotus heart of Kali.  You are rotating the control rod in your hand.)

 

KamayeKalagnishamanam, KalaKalam, karunalavalam, Kalabhairavam (chorus)

Mayajalam,Madiralolam, Munijanapalam, MahabhikaraShulam
Pingalajatajutam, Padoddhavitakhetam, Garjanojjvalavisphotam,
Prasthanamaharbhatam
Shirashchandrakhandam, Phalagnikundam, Bhramitakaladandam,
Kampamana jagadandam.

(I desire Kalabhairava, who pacifies the destructive fire, who is the killer of killer, Yama and who is the abode of Kindness. 

He is a net of miracles, He drinks wine, He protects the sages and He holds on the weapon called Trishula.   He has red cloud of hair.  He plays with planets as foot balls.  When He laughs the planets explode.  When He walks lot of terror results.  He has a piece of moon on head.  He has the third eye on the fore head, which is like the fire alter. He rotates the control rod and the world vibrates.)

 

Lord Kalabhairava appeared and cut the head of the demon who ran out of Swami.  The demon pushed Swami and tried to kill Him. The demon was none but the Kapalika who killed Shankara by black magic since Shankara tried to unite the Hindu sub-religions.  He wanted to kill Swami who is trying to unite the Universal Religions. Swami stated all this and praised Kalabhairava. 

 

Kalabhairava Deva! Tvameva mama Khalu Rakshaa
Kashipurarakshanamiha karoshi nayanaspandaih. (Chorus)

Ardhachandrasinaikakare, Chinnamastakenacha pare
Kalanjanambara kalakayachchayabhih
Mahashmashana samcharavihara
Vibhutimadhya kumkumabimba phalena
Ubhayabhujavivrutakalakeshajalena
Nilakusumamalikavalayaharena
Arunavaloka parushashmashrumukhena
Aakalitopi karunarnava tvaam nabhijanekim
Kashivishwanatham Dattamahavataram?

 

(O Lord Kalabhairava! You are alone My protector.  You are protecting this Kashi simply by the tender vibrations of your eyes.  You are having the half moon shaped knife in one hand.  In the other hand you hold the cut head of the demon. You are wearing jet black cloth.  With the black shinning of your body, you are wandering in the wide burial ground. The white ash with central mark of red powder is on your fore head.  The open black hair exists on your shoulders.  You are wearing the garland of blue flowers. Your eyes are red and your mustache is harsh in your face.  Even if you appear like this, you are the ocean of kindness.  Can’t I recognize you as the Lord Vishwanatha, who is the great incarnation of Lord Datta?)

 

Verse: Ardhachandrasinaa chinna-mastakena karadvaye
Samhara Bhairavam vande-prahasavikatasvaram.

(I salute Bhairava, the deity of destruction, who is laughing with a special harsh voice and who holds the half moon shaped knife in one hand and the cut head of demon in the other hand.)

After this prayer, Kalabhairava looked at Swami with grace.  The cracks in the skull disappeared and very clear miracle is that the external profusely bleeding injuries on the face also disappeared.)

 

O humanity! hear My song -- Be attentive to realize it (chorus)

 

In the street of Benaras — Shankara saw Me once

Followed by four dogs – He ordered Me to give side.

I asked Him “O king of preachers -- All the bodies are five elements only

Awareness or soul is one in all -- As said by you in your commentary.

Tell Me which shall give you side —The soul or the five elements?”

Then Shanakra was thunderstruck — Fell on My feet totally flat

Praised Me as the only preacher — Know Me as preacher of preachers.

I opened the eye of knowledge — Removed the curtain from Him.

I covered the World Preacher — By My powerful divine illusion.

Know that in this entire creation – None can know Me.

Shankara requested Me then--To preach the spiritual knowledge.

Shankara is the Lord Shiva — I am Shiva, this is My drama.

I composed this divine drama — I am the preacher and the student.

This drama is played by Me in double role – To uplift the souls here.

This is the Gita that transmitted -- From Me, Datta, to Shankara.

The spiritual knowledge given by Me – To Shankara was aimed at

His followers at that time – But let Me reveal the same

Suitable to the present society – The old wine in new bottle!

 

Brahman is the greatest — Among all objects of a category.

Gita says that Veda is Brahman — Being the greatest among scriptures.

Brahman also means the God — Being greater than any greatest.

Philosophy means using the word Brahman — In the related context.

Among all items of the creation — Soul is greatest due to its knowledge.

Except this once specialty of Knowledge — It is the weakest form of Energy.

As and when you here the word Brahman – It may be for God or Soul.

Decide the meaning based on the context — That is the scholastic talent.

Shastras are the supporting scriptures —They decide the correct context.

If you know the clue of the context — No quarrel in Hindu sub-religions.

Spiritual knowledge is based on Shastras — So state Brahma Sutra and Gita

Soul can become God — But effort and God’s grace are needed for this.

By effort you enter God’s family — This is the first essential step.

When God incarnates in human form —To uplift the humanity here,

God enters any soul of His family — The human incarnation results.

By chance you may be that soul — Selected by God for incarnation,

Now you are treated as God — Like the live wire treated as current.

Son of Vasudeva, Vaasudeva — Being a soul is selected to be God.

The live wire is spoken as current — By the scientists of Electricity.

Monism or Advaitia is limited only —To the human incarnation.

Not every soul in this world can be – The human incarnation,

But every soul has equal possibility—To become human incarnation.

Every metallic wire is eligible to be – The live wire, carrying current.

If current realizes that itself is — The current and not the wire,

It is the Advaita of Shankara — Specific to human incarnation only.

Shankara being human incarnation — Spoke this concept about Himself.

Every wire need not be the live wire — Since current is not in every wire.

There is no chance to treat every wire — As the current, similar to live wire.

Even in the live wire, if the current leaves it – It becomes just wire only.

Even the divine body of Vaasudeva was — Cremated by Arjuna at the end.

It is live wire as long as current flows — In the wire and not before or after.

“Soul is God”, the statement of Shankara – Relates to soul charged by God.

God is not power like the current – Current is only a simile to God.

God is beyond even imagination – As per several Vedic statements.

The divine preacher, Lord Yama – Preached Nachiketa in Katha,

That even angles and sages – Finally concluded in divine seminars,

The only conclusion is that – Brahman is unimaginable in any way.

You could know something – If Brahman is said to be unknown

Since, at least you could know – The unknowable nature of Brahman.

If you say that Brahman is known – Brahman is not known at all,

Because you could not know even – That Brahman is unknown.

 

Awareness has two properties – Knowing self and knowing others.

If you are that awareness – Awareness cannot be unknown.

It is a knowable item only – Not the unknowable Brahman.

You may doubt that unknown – May mean as non-existing. 

Hence, preachers say that – Brahman is a knowable item.

Brahman becomes knowable – When it charges knowable medium.

Preachers introduce Brahman or God – Through a known medium.

Isolated God is not introduced – Only mediated God is mentioned.

Shankara introduced God – Through awareness, a medium, only.

Ramanuja and Madhva introduced God — Through Energetic body,

It is called as Narayana – The human Energetic form of God. 

Such Energetic form of God – Can be seen only in the upper world.

Vaasudeva is a materialized form – Made of all the five elements.

Energy is called as Agni – It is one of the five elements only.

Gross body of Vaasudeva consists – All the five elements,

Gross body of Narayana consists – One element only, Agni.

In both, subtle bodies consist – The three basic qualities,

But in both predominating quality – Being the Sattvam.

Sattvam is main quality of Narayana – Naara means the knowledge.

Knowledge is inherent of Sattvam – So Sattva-soul is selected.

Similarly, Shiva selects a soul – Predominating with Tamas.

Brahma selects soul of Rajas – Pure Rajas and Tamas are good.

Pure Rajas stands for dynamism – Pure Tamas for determination.

Knowledge without action and – Determination is useless.

The three qualities are inseparable – Hence the three divine forms.

In Brahma, Narayana and Shiva -  Datta exists in each form.

Datta is the dynamic equilibrium – Between the three qualities.

In both Vaasudeva and Narayana - Causal bodies are pure awareness.

In Narayana the fourth extra item – Is the God or Brahman.

Now the three bodies of both – Merge with each other fully,

Agni of gross body of Narayana – With Agni of gross body of Vaasudeva.

Now Vaasudeva, the individual soul, – The family member of God,

Becomes divinized soul due to – This homogeneous mixing of both.

Now there is one set of three bodies – In the divinized Vaasudeva.

The fourth extra item of Narayana, - Brahman, pervades Vaasudeva.

This is how Lord Narayana comes down – As the human incarnation.

Materialized body is meant for – The materialized bodies on the earth,

Energetic body is meant for – The energetic bodies in the upper world.

In both cases, the repulsion works – Between the common media.

Neither here nor there for the soul – God given is recognized at all!

If the repulsion between common media – Gets removed from the souls

The soul recognizes the given God – Here as well as in the upper world.

 

What are the reasons for this – Repulsion between the common media?

There are only two reasons – One is ego and the other is jealousy.

These two cover the two eyes – Making human souls blind,

Whether these souls are here – Or existing in the upper world.

The external gross body cannot affect – These two qualities of souls.

Hence, these souls in energetic bodies – Called as the divine angels

Are not exempted from the effect of – These two black cobras.

This is the basic reason for the souls – On the earth to select

The energetic bodies of God – Existing in the upper worlds.

Such energetic forms of God – Never appear to these human beings.

Unless human incarnation shows – These energetic forms through vision.

They tell lies that they get visions – To cover their blind bonds with them!

They can worship the energetic forms – Through mental imaginations only.

If this is the case of their worship, - Can they serve those forms directly?

However, these energetic forms are – With human physiology only.

Thank God! That they are allowing – That much human form of God.

There are some gold medalists – In having ego and jealousy fully,

They do not accept human form – Even in the energetic forms of God,

For them only formless medium - Satisfies their full ego and jealousy.

Such formless medium selected is – Awareness, special work form of energy

In the case of atheists, who are – The top rankers of ego and jealousy.

When Shankara came down here – He was surrounded by atheists only.

There is no other alternative for Him – Than to introduce formless awareness.

Formless can be even inert energy – Like light or space in the Universe,

But Shankara preferred the awareness – Since, it is the first step

To introduce human form of God – Filtering the inert items of world.

Awareness filters away inert bodies – It confines to the living beings.

Awareness means the field of living beings – The first step of address.

This means that God will never enter - The inert bodies in any case.

The inert bodies can be, at the maximum - Representative models of God.

Veda says, “No statue” and says also – “This sun is not that God”.

Some times, God comes as a living being – Like the fish to kill a demon,

But He did not preach spiritual knowledge – The fish-form is inconvenient.

The human form like Krishna to preach – As well as to kill the demons

Happens to be most convenient – For the sake of human beings here.

The human being is the second step – In the address of God here.

Only a specific human being like Krishna – Becomes human incarnation.

Krishna is the third step of address – To precisely catch God directly.

City, street and house-number – Constitute the three steps of address.

Living beings indicated by awareness, - Human beings and Krishna

Constitute the three steps of God – In coming down as incarnation.

 

Thus, Shankara started the concept – In the very first step of the address,

At the same time, satisfied atheists – By formless awareness,

Which does not contain human form – Directly though indicates indirectly.

Shankara selected awareness – In spite of its various defects,

To stress on the final human form – Filtering the intermediate statues,

It ends in the contemporary form – Which alone contains awareness.

The defects of awareness are several – It is weakest form of energy

Flowing in the tender nerves, – It is discontinuous as living beings,

It is ending in deep sleep every day, – It is daily generated form.

It requires the functioning system – Of brain and various nerves.

It requires inert Energy produced – By oxidation of food taken,

Oxidation requires the oxygen – In functioning respiratory system

Assisting the functioning system – Of digestion of food.

In spite of hundred defects – it is selected by Shankara,

Since it serves the purpose of – Contemporary human incarnation.

This awareness is energy – Energy propagates as waves.

The Shiva Linga represents – The wave form of energy.

Shankara is incarnation of Shiva – Represented by Shiva Linga,

Stands perfectly for Lord Shiva – Introducing awareness-Energy.

The atheists cannot tolerate – The human form even in Energy.

In course of time, theists increased – With decrease in ego and jealousy,

Yet, they cannot tolerate the direct – Human form before their eyes.

Ramanuja and Madhva introduced – Human form in the Energetic form,

But, the form is in upper world – Not before the eyes here.

The result is human Energetic form – Like Narayana, Brahma and Shiva

Existing in the upper worlds only – Never appear before the eyes.

Such Energetic forms cannot be worshipped – Only imagined by mind,

There is no possibility of service – To such imaginary forms.

Statues, representing models came – For easy worship and service.

Ramanuja worshipped statue of Narayana – Direct worship and service

To human form are indicated here – It is only the advanced training.

Madhva worshipped statue of Krishna, – The past human incarnation.

The concept is revealed fully here – That is human incarnation only.

He introduced Hanuman as brother, - Who served human form of God.

Almost the entire concept came out – Except one small single point,

That is revealed now by Datta Swami – The fourth and final preacher.

The only point is that the goal is – The contemporary human incarnation.

Hanuman did not worship Vamana – As the statue as you do now.

He worshipped Rama, His contemporary – Human incarnation only.

Gopikas did not worship statue of Rama – Only Krishna, their contemporary.

Hanuman became God, the creator – Gopikas reached top most Goloka.

Are you greater than Hanuman and Gopikas – To reject your contemporary?

God is impartial to come in human form – In every human generation.

God said in Gita that He will come down – Whenever there is necessity.

He can come down simultaneously – In two different human forms

Like Parashu Rama and Rama – Possible for unimaginable God.

The external human form is like shirt – As per the holy Gita.

The internal God is one and the same – Coming in different shirts.

Jambavan is a bare, famous for – Foolish rigid grip of mind.

He worshipped the statue of Rama – Rejected Krishna before his eyes.

At least Jambavan worshipped Rama – Directly during his earlier days.

You had no such opportunity – You are more foolish than Jambavan

In not recognizing your contemporary – And worship statue of Krishna.

The problem here is that the person – In the shirts is not visible here

Since, the internal God is invisible – He is beyond even imagination.

The same problem confused – The Jambavan fighting with Krishna.

The whole spiritual knowledge, Brahma Jnanam – Is for this only.

Even in the worldly subjects – The knowledge is attained to know

The subtle forms of power – Working in wonderful technologies.

Even for scientific studies – Deep intricate knowledge is needed

In your studies of Long duration – What about the ultimate God?

The final truth should not be introduced – In the very first step it self,

It should be introduced gradually – In accordance to the psychology.

Psychology relates to preaching – Truth relates to the knowledge.

Preacher follows psychology – Scholar goes as per the truth.

The human incarnation of God is – The preacher as well as the scholar.

The truth is slowly introduced – According to the digestion of receiver.

 

The three faces of Datta stand for – The three basic qualities

That represent subtle body or Jeeva, – The six hands represent

The six changes in gross body – Like existence, Birth etc.,

The gross body is outer most cover – Inner is subtle body,

Innermost is causal body, – Which is pure awareness.

How to get rid off repulsion - Between the common media

So that we recognize God here – As well as in the upper world?

Setup a training here itself – Treat every human being as God.

Avoid the exploitation of yourself – By others in such training.

Treat all good devotees, good people – And poor only as God

Filtering the tricky and evil people – Be analytical always.

Remove three types of ego – Scholastic, dynamic and decisive,

Now you are Atri, father of Datta – Meaning devoid of three.

Remove jealousy or Asuya – You become Anasuya now,

The mother of Datta, – Datta is God in human form,

Who donated Himself to – Atri and Anasuya here.

It means God in human form – Gets donated to you,

If you get rid off ego and jealousy – Completely here itself.

I am Brahmin saint as Shankara – I came as untouchable.

I can pervade any medium – Nothing can resist Me at all.

State, caste, sex and age are – The qualities of external medium.

These belong to the outer most sheath – The visible gross body.

Even subtle and causal bodies are – Beyond the gross body,

Not to speak of Me, who is beyond – Even subtle and causal bodies.

Various qualities result when three qualities – Mix in various ratios,

All these qualities constitute subtle body – I am beyond subtle body.

I am beyond even causal body – Which is beyond subtle body.

You cannot decide Me by qualities also – I drink wine always,

I am roaming in the area of prostitutes – You cannot catch Me.

Unless you know that I am beyond – The subtle body or qualities.

Even if you catch Me – I will exhibit terrible bad qualities

So that you will run away – Unless you are firm of this knowledge.

You have passed the first test – If you realize Me beyond gross body

This is the first quarterly test – To realize that I am not having

The properties of gross body – Like birth, hunger, thirst, death etc.,

The properties of My gross body – Impress upon your mind constantly

That I am born, hungry, thirsty – And finally die like any human being.

Even Jeevatman, the pair of – Subtle and causal bodies is beyond

Such properties of gross body – I am beyond Jeevatman.

In the half yearly test you will face – The impression that I am Jeeva,

You qualify Me as good and bad – Through the qualities exhibited.

The causal body or soul is beyond – The subtle body or qualities,

I am beyond the soul and – I am not qualified by any quality.

Now the final annual test – To think Me as the causal body or soul.

Followers of Advaita fail finally – In this year ending examination.

For them soul is God and hence – They treat Me as the causal body.

Since soul is imaginable item – I am the unimaginable in anyway,

I am beyond the soul – This is the final picture about Me.

 

Advaita Philosophers try to transcend – The gross and subtle bodies

They try to fix themselves in souls – Since soul is God for them.

They cross the superimposition of the soul – On the external gross body,

They kill all qualities and transcend – The subtle body once for all.

They attain their souls with peace – The peace of a dead body,

They become inert energy in deep sleep – To become stones in future.

They stop with such dead silence – Mistake it as the bliss,

For them absence of loss is the profit – No profit other than this!

In such effort they kill all qualities – Both good and bad.

They live in deep sleep like – Dead bodies, the moving robots.

They feel that is the final state – The so called Avadhuta!

They have stopped with stage – No arrangements of drama.

Their journey is stopped – In the intermediate station.

Shankara established stage – Through His commentaries.

But He showed the second part, – The drama on the stage

Through His prayers on Govinda – The human incarnation.

The detachment from the world – Comes through this peace,

But that is only arranging stage, – The actual drama begins

On the stage, when the devotion – Towards God, the bliss starts.

Rats are removed from the house – To live in the house happily.

Advaitains burn the house – Rats gone, but also the house.

Awareness is gone in deep sleep – Which is the stage for devotion.

No quality is good or bad – By virtue of itself,

Any quality towards God – Is considered to be good,

Any stick in fire is burnt – To become the sacred ash.

Any quality towards world - Is considered to be bad,

Even sugar fallen in mud – Is not acceptable to tongue.

By charity Dharma Raja reached – The temporary heaven only.

By debauchery Gopikas reached – The permanent abode of God.

The charity was aimed to the society – Debauchery to the Lord.

This is the difference between – Mahabharata and Bhagavata.

Beware! Debauchery in the society – Leads to horrible hell!

Ravana went to hell – But not Krishna or Gopikas.

Ahalya met with Indra – Thinking that Indra is God.

Indra is only a soul present – In the energetic body.

Narayana is God present – In the energetic body.

The king is in silk shirt and – A beggar is also in silk shirt,

The beggar is not the king – Due to common silk shirt.

The king may be in the cotton shirt – Yet, the king is king.

Krishna is in material body – Yet, Krishna is God.

Yadavas, relatives of Krishna,- Tried to worship Indra, not Krishna,

Yadavas are in material bodies – Krishna is also in material body,

Repulsion between common media – Repulsion between cotton shirts,

Indra is in energetic body, silk shirt – Indra is servant of Krishna, God,

Cotton shirt respects silk shirt – Even peon in silk shirt is respected,

Even collector in cotton shirt is – Rejected by cotton shirts!

This is human psychology that – Prevents the investigation of truth.

Both Ahalya and Indra were – Punished by pungent curses.

Even the bad quality like Debauchery – Could lead to God,

Not to speak about a good quality - Like Charity towards God.

Gopikas did total charity or sacrifice – Towards God.

Leaving husbands for Krishna – Is only a part of total sacrifice.

Hence, you cannot say that Debauchery alone – Could please Krishna.

They left every body and every thing – For the sake of Krishna.

They sacrificed their wealth, butter – To Krishna leaving children.

They sacrificed even their lives – When Krishna left them.

They went to Goloka due to their – Total sacrifice only.

If this point is not understood – Bhagavatam is misunderstood.

Eshanas are strong bonds with – Life, Children, Husbands or wives

And wealth, Gopikas were liberated – From all the Eshanas.

Hanuman also is example – For the total sacrifice to God.

He was prepared to sacrifice life – By opening heart with nails.

Dharma Raja could not sacrifice – The justice for the sake of Lord,

He did not tell the lie – Even if the Lord ordered to do so.

Arjuna fought with Krishna – To save Gaya, who surrendered to him.

He could not cross the justice of – Kings to protect the surrendered.

Ramayana and Bhagavatha stand – For Nivrutti, the subject of God.

Mahabharata stands for Pravrutti, - The subject of society only.

Violation of justice in Pravrutti – Leads to hell, the punishment of God.    

Pravrutti gives temporary heaven – Nivrutti gives permanent God.

Violation of justice in Nivrutti is – A part of total sacrifice only.

The total sacrifice alone can give – The permanent abode of God.

You should not isolate - The violation of justice from total sacrifice

To conclude that injustice in Nivrutti – Pleases the God.

“Nothing or None equals God” – Says Veda for Nivrutti.

None includes every body and hence – The husbands or wives also.

Gopikas were sages trying for God – For millions of births.

Radha was the human incarnation – Of the sage Durvasa.

Durvasa was Shiva and hence – Radha was incarnation of Shiva.

Like Hanuman, who was - The incarnation of Shiva for Rama.

Shiva is Narayana as per Veda – Hanuman and Radha are God.

Rama and Hanuman – Krishna and Radha,

Both pairs are the same God – Playing in dual role.

Narayana became Mohini and – Shiva was after her,

Now Shiva became Radha – Narayana as Krishna was after her.

The sages prayed Lord Rama – To liberate them from Eshanas.

Sages became Gopikas and – Lord Rama became Krishna.

Lord made the sages to be born – As uneducated women

In the backward caste – To release them from bonds of

Forward Brahmin caste, male – Ego and pride of knowledge.

Krishna stole their wealth, butter – Liberated them from wealth,

Krishna attracted their children – Through mischievous games

And liberated Gopikas from – The strong bonds of children,

Krishna attracted Gopikas by dance – Liberated them from husbands,

The three Eshanas of sages – Were cut by His mischievous play.

It was the promise of Lord – Given to sages previously.

When the promise was over – He left Brundavanam.

He never repeated this mischief – Elsewhere in His rest of life.

If He is fond of such mischief – He should have repeated it.

There is no other devotee – To whom He promised the same.

If He is fond of Gopikas only – He should have returned back.

None can even detect Him – He has all the super powers.

But He never returned back – To repeat the mischief with Gopikas,

Because Gopikas were already – Liberated from the three Eshanas.

The last Eshana with life was cut – Only when He left the body.

Gopikas jumped in to fire – While their husbands were alive.

Without knowing the back ground – Do not criticize the Lord.

Veda says “All His desires are fulfilled – What more to desire?”

Bhagavata is a test for scholars – In the spiritual knowledge.

He fulfilled His promise to sages – In the end of Dwaparayuga,

Which is almost beginning of Kali – What is the secret here?

In Kali such qualities become predominant – In the Pravrutti itself.

With the medium of similar qualities – He became dear to souls

In Kali Yuga to preach that – Even bad qualities towards God

Become sacred, Gita says – “Even worst, serving Me alone

Must be treated as Good” – A message for down trodden.

Exceptional are Dharma Raja – And the sages born as Gopikas,

The sages were authors of – Dharma Shastras, scriptures of ethics.

In their case sacrifice of justice – Is most difficult, justice – bond is

The strongest bond in them only, – In the case of common people

This bond is weakest, every body is – Ready to sacrifice justice.

Even in Pravrutti they sacrifice – Justice for the sake of families,

A prostitute easily sacrifices – Her husband just for a few rupees!

Therefore, for common society – This point does not hold good.

Especially, if you isolate justice – From all the bonds of the soul,

Salvation becomes very easy – Since sacrifice is very convenient.

Sacrifice of every body and every thing – Is the total sacrifice

In which sacrifice of justice – Becomes a part only,

Just to prove that God is – Greater than even the justice.

Gopikas stand for total sacrifice – In which leaving justice is

A part of total sacrifice – They are not the prostitutes,

Who can easily sacrifice justice – For the sake of few rupees

For anybody in the world – No need of the greatest God!

This is the essence of Bhagavata – It should be understood carefully.

Krishna said “Leave all justice” – If you stop here, it is very easy

Because following justice – Involves lot of inconvenience.

You must take the next line – Said by Krishna in the same verse,

“Surrender to Me alone”, - Which is the total sacrifice.

The verse totally means – Sacrifice of justice also

During the total sacrifice – Done for the sake of God.
