(1)

ghare boseÂ’ bāul hao re mana,

keno korbi duṣṭa ācaraṇa

(2)

mane mane rākhbi bāul-bhāva,

ār sakala-dina koro harir nām-sańkīrtana

tabe cāńd bāuler sańge śeṣe korbi saḿsāra visarjana

TRANSLATION

O my dear mind! May you become a transcendentally maddened Baul while remaining at home! Why do you engage in wicked activities?

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.

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.

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.

May your own mind become ripened with maturity while remaining at home. And just perform Hari-nama sankirtan each and every day. Then, in Cand Baul’s company, you shall utterly renounce the material world.
