TRANSLATION
1)
Listen, my dear mind. I don't like this material world at all. It is simply
filled with the suffering of birth, death, disease and old age. Besides all
this suffering, tell me now that good thing could possibly be found here?
2)
Wealth, followers and family members they can never really belong to anyone.
For a time they are together, and afterwards they all
drift apart. All these relationships which you would love to hold on to, none
or them will remain for long, my dear mind. Oh brother, know it for sure that
all these temporary things are flimsy and perishable.
3)
The lifespan of one living in this world is extremely short, and even that
gradually decays more and more until one beholds Yamaraja
hovering nearby. Afflicted with continuous diseases and lamenting in
heart-broken grief, his consciousness thus degrades more and more. Finally one
meets his downfall, and he again suffers the calamity of separation from his
dear kinsmen.
4)
Just see here, my dear brother. Don't go for this mixed pain and pleasure of
so-called material happiness, for it is actually the source of all your
troubles. If this is the real situation, then why have you become the slave of maya just on account of this miserable so-called happiness?
Do you realize what you've done? If you become the slave of maya
then you only rob yourself of the eternal treasure waiting for you, the supreme
goal of life.
5)
Just become a little thoughtful for once and reflect back on your own life
story, how many demoniac temptations you were motivated by. Simply to get a
little sense gratification, how many unlimitedly sinful acts have you
committed? So now just see the result, the only gain in the long run is your
certain death.
6)
Alas! Never having once considered the purpose or goal of human existence, such
a person wastes his entire life just like a dog or a pig. Then at the time of
death, being bereft and cheated out of any means of deliverance, he laments
bitterly and burning the fire of repentance.
7)
My dear mind, so tell me why you remain stupefied and unconscious absorbed in
this useless temporary sense gratification? I want you to give it up right now,
and give up all hopes for future sense gratification as well. For the
expectation of this humble servant is that you will be able to conquer over
this miserable material existence by being firmly situated under the protection
offered by the lotus feet of sri guru, your most well-wishing spiritual master.
