The Confidential Glories of Sri Gauraṅga

(1)

gauraṅgera duti pada, jar dhana sampada,
se jane bhakati-rasa-sar
gauraṅgera madhura-lila, jar karne pravesila,
hrdoya nirmala bhelo tar

[Anyone who has accepted the two lotus feet of Lord Caitanya as their only asset knows the true essence of devotional service. If anyone gives submissive aural reception to the pleasing and sweet pastimes of Lord Caitanya, then immediately his heart becomes cleansed of all material contamination.]

(2)

je gauraṅgera nama loy, tara hoy premodoy,
tare mui jai bolihari
gauraṅga-gunete jhure, nitya-lila tare sphure,
se jana bhakati-adhikari

[Anyone who simply chants the name of Sri Krsna Caitanya will immediately develop love of Godhead. I offer him all congratulations by saying, "Bravo!" If anyone feels ecstasy and cries by simply hearing the transcendental qualities of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he at once understands the eternal loving affairs between Radha and Krsna.]

(3)

gauraṅgera saṅgi-gane, nitya-siddha kori' mane,
se jay brajendra-suta-pas
sri-gauda-mandala-bhumi, jeba jane cintamani,
tara hoy braja-bhume bas

[Anyone who has understood that the associates of Lord Caitanya are eternally liberated souls immediately becomes eligible to enter into the abode of Krsna, the son of Nanda Maharaja in Vrndavana, in his next birth. If anyone understands that there is no difference between Gauda-mandala, the places in West Bengal wherein Lord Caitanya had His pastimes, and the transcendental abode of Sri Vrndavana-dhama, then he actually lives in Vrndavana.]

(4)

gaura-prema-rasarnave, se taraṅge jeba dube,
se radha-madhava-antaraṅga
grhe ba vanete thake, 'ha gauraṅga' bo'le dake,
narottama mage tara saṅga

[Anyone who takes pleasure sporting within the waves of the ocean of Lord Caitanya's distribution of love of God immediately becomes a confidential devotee of Sri Sri Radha-Madhava. It doesn't matter whether such a devotee is in the renounced order of life or whether he is a householder. If he is actually taking part in Lord Caitanya's saṅkirtana activities and actually understanding what it is, then such a person is always liberated. Narottama dasa aspires for his association.]
