TRANSLATION
-
If your mind is always absorbed in chanting the glories of Lord Krsna with great care, then by that process of Sri-krsna-kirtana you will attain transcendental qualification.
-
You should give up all false pride and always consider yourself to be worthless, destitute, lower and more humble than a blade of grass.
-
You should practice forgiveness like that of a tree, and giving up violence toward other living beings, you should protect and maintain them.
-
In the course of passing your life, you should never give anxiety to others, but rather do good to them while forgetting about your own happiness.
-
When one has thus become a great soul, possessing all good qualities, one should abandon all desires for fame and honor and make one’s heart humble.
-
Knowing that Lord Krsna resides within all living creatures, one should with great respect consistently show honor to all beings.
-
By possessing these four qualities-humility, mercifulness, respect toward others, and the renunciation of desires for prestige-one becomes virtuous. In such a state you may sing the glories of the Supreme Lord.
-
Weeping, Bhaktivinoda submits his prayer at the lotus feet of the the Lord: “O Lord, when will you give me the qualification for possessing attributes such as these?”
