Be Mine
Official Name: None
Author: Visnujana Swami
Book Name: None
LYRICS:
(1)
When,
oh when will that day be mine?
When
my offenses ceasing taste for the name increasing
when
in my heart will your mercy shine
when,
oh when will that day be mine
(2)
Lower
than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree.
When
will my mind attain this quality?
Respectful
to all, not expecting their honor,
then
shall I taste the name's nectar sublime.
(3)
Great
wealth or followers, feminine beauty
I
won't care for them or the comforts of my body.
Birth
after birth, give me, Oh Lord Caitanya
causeless devotion to Your feet divine
(4)
When
will I utter Krsna, Krsna, Krsna,
with words
choked up and shivering body?
When
will I be trembling all over, lose bodily color,
tears
pouring from my eyes,
(5)
When
in Navadvipa along the Ganges bank,
shouting
'Gaura-Nityananda' as a surrendered soul,
dancing,
chanting, running everywhere,
when
will I become half mad of mind?
(6)
When
will Lord Nityananda show mercy upon me,
when
will I reject the world of Maya:
' Bestow
unto me the shade of Your lotus feet
let
the right to preach the name be mine.
(7)
I
will beg, borrow, or steal the nectar of the name.
By
the name's effect I will feel paralyzed.
Oh!
Enjoyed of the nectar of the name
when
will I touch your lotus feet till the end of time?
(8)
When
kindness to all beings will be appearing
with
free heart forget myself comforting
Bhaktivinoda in all humility prays
"Now
I will set out to preach Your order sublime."
