TRANSLATION
1)
My dear mind, you are most suspicious and doubtful at heart. Having come into
this material world, and becoming conditioned within the prison cell of this
dull material body, you have become stupefied by being attached continuously to
temporary external matter.
2)
Mind, you are forgetting your own eternal home, and you are rendering faithful
service to dull material lust. Thus you cannot perceive anything beyond the
gross inanimate objects which are directly contacted by your senses. Your true
nature as pure spirit soul has become covered over and remains hidden inside
your body.
3)
Dear mind, according to your materialistic knowledge and feeble enlightenment,
you always meditate on so-called scientific subject matters, but all of that is
simply limited to all the moving and non-moving things which are confined
within the jurisdiction of this temporarily created universe. To whom shall I
tell the story of my anguish? I have abandoned my eternal Father simply to rely
on such an unsubstantial and insignificant reality.
4)
My dear mind, you are not seeing the truth of the nature of the soul, and thus
you have given up the natural pure goodness of your heart. You have put a stop
to all spiritual activity by taking yourself far away from the soul. You always
maintain the doubt "does the soul exist or not?", and thus in you
so-called scientific meditations you gradually become more and more fond of
such doubting.
5)
My dear mind, in this way you are falling into the illusory mistakes of the
insensitive world of matter, and thus your own real self has become transformed
into an entirely different, false personality. Now just take heed of my advice,
dear friend, and don't cheat your own soul in this way any longer, but from now
on please keep yourself in the company of the devotees of the Lord.
6)
By the power of the Vaisnavas' compassion, then all of your doubts will be long
gone, and your soul will become yours once again. You will attain the
transcendental abode of Vrndavana, my dear mind, and there you will wait upon
Radha-Syama in your eternal spiritual body which abounds in ecstatic shivering
and torrents of joyful tears. Thus the real wealth of Bhaktivinoda is to keep
continuous, intense absorption in the beautiful lotus feet of Sri Radha-Krsna.
