e saba nahe prabhura pracārera rīti e saba kareche guru-goṅsāira jāti
Translation

All these things are not our spiritual master’s preaching methods. These are all the things done by the caste gosvamis.

kintu ceye dekha kibā durdaśā hayeche viṣayī haiyā sabe pracāra cheḍeche
Translation

But just take a good look at the terrible situation that has arisen. Everyone has become a sense enjoyer and has given up preaching.

mandire-o tālā-bandha hayeche ārambha bhāgavata pracāra kara, nā kara vilambha
Translation

In the temples also they have begun to lock the doors. Preach this bhagavata-dharma, don’t hesitate.

medinīra madhye āche ekaṭi medina kim̐vā śabda yāya tava asama bhedinī
Translation

Whithin this world there is another world, whose sound is the unequaled penetrating force.

"mallāra dauḍa tāi masjida prayanta" e-saba pracāra- kārya āji kara anta
Translation

The preaching that “the molla only goes as far as the mosque and no further” should be put to an end today.

ā-samudra medina-para brahmāṇḍa-bhedinī ṣakale miliyā kara pracāra-vāhinī
Translation

From the seas, across the earth, penetrate the universal shell, come together and preach this Krsna consciousness.

tabe se prabhura pūjāra habe paripāṭi āja-ī pratijñā kara chāḍa kuṭi-nāṭi
Translation

Then the worship of our Master will be proper. Indeed, today let us make this vow and give up our politics and duplicity!

āja-ī ekatra haye karaha mantavya pāṅce mili vicāraha ki karā kartavya
Translation

This very day, let us gather together and discuss. Let us align our differing views and decide what to do.

tyāgī haiyācha bhāi, kara sabe tyāga “vāṇī”-tyāga kara yadi kisera virāga?
Translation

You have become renouncers, brothers, so renounce everything. But if you also renounce the order of your spiritual master, then what kind of renunciation is that?

“guru-bhogī”, “guru-tyāgī” dui ta" asāra “guru-sevī” hale para bujhibe vicāra
Translation

The one who renounces his guru’s order (guru-tyagi) and the one who tries to enjoy the assets of his spiritual master (guru-bhogi) are two kinds of useless persons. First become a servant of your spiritual master (guru-sevi), and then you will understand all these things clearly.
