TRANSLATION
1) My dear
Lord Krishna, You are so kind upon this useless soul, but I do not know why You
have brought me here. Now You can do whatever You like
with me.
2) But I guess You have some business here, otherwise why would You bring
me to this terrible place?
3) Most of the population
here is covered by the material modes of ignorance and passion. Absorbed in
material life, they think themselves very happy and satisfied, and therefore
they have no taste for the transcendental message of Vasudeva.
I do not know how they will be able to understand it.
4) But I know Your causeless mercy can make everything possible because
You are the most expert mystic.
5) How will they understand the mellows of devotional
service? O Lord, I am simply praying for Your mercy so
that I will be able to convince them about Your message.
6) All living entities have
become under the control of the illusory energy by Your
will, and therefore, if You like, by Your will they can also be released from
the clutches of illusion.
7) I wish that You may deliver them. Therefore if You
so desire their deliverance, then only will they be able to understand Your
message.
8) The words of Srimad-Bhagavatam are Your
incarnation, and if a sober person repeatedly receives it with submissive aural
reception, then he will be able to understand Your message. It is said in the Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.2.17-21):
"Sri Krishna, the
Personality of Godhead, who is the Paramatma [Supersoul] in everyone’s heart and the benefactor of the
truthful devotee, cleanses desire for material enjoyment from the heart of the
devotee who has developed the urge to hear His messages, which are in
themselves virtuous when properly heard and chanted. By regular attendance in
classes on the Bhagavatam and by rendering of service
to the pure devotee, all that is troublesome to the heart is almost completely
destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality of Godhead, who is praised with
transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable fact. As soon as
irrevocable loving service is established in the heart, the effects of nature’s
modes of passion and ignorance, such as lust, desire and hankering, disappear
from the heart. Then the devotee is established in goodness, and he becomes
completely happy. Thus established in the mode of unalloyed goodness, the man
whose mind has been enlivened by contact with devotional service to the Lord gains positive scientific knowledge of the Personality of
Godhead in the stage of liberation from all material association. Thus the knot
in the heart is pierced, and all misgivings are cut to pieces. The chain of fruitive actions is terminated when one sees the self as
master."
9) He will become liberated
from the influence of the modes of ignorance and passion and thus all
inauspicious things accumulated in the core of the heart will disappear.
10) How will I make them
understand this message of Krishna consciousness? I am very unfortunate,
unqualified and the most fallen. Therefore I am seeking Your
benediction so that I can convince them, for I am powerless to do so on my own.
11) Somehow or other, O
Lord, You have brought me here to speak about You.
Now, my Lord, it is up to You to make me a success or
failure as You like.
12) O spiritual master of
all the worlds! I can simply repeat Your message, so
if You like You can make my power of speaking suitable for their understanding.
13) Only by Your causeless
mercy will my words become pure. I am sure that when this transcendental
message penetrates their hearts they will certainly feel engladdened
and thus become liberated from all unhappy conditions of life.
14) O Lord, I am just like
a puppet in Your hands. So if You
have brought me here to dance, then make me dance, make me dance, O Lord, make
me dance as You like.
15) I have no devotion, nor
do I have any knowledge, but I have strong faith in the holy name of Krsna. I
have been designated as Bhaktivedanta, and now, if
You like, You can fulfill the real purport of Bhaktivedanta.
