mana, tumi baḍai cañcala
ekānta sarala bhakta, jane nahe anurakta
dhūrta-jane āsakti prabala
O mind, you are extremely restless. You have no attraction for simple, honest devotees; instead your attachment to deceitful persons is very strong.
(2)
bujurgī jāne yei, tumi sādhu-jana sei
tāra saṅga tomāre nācāya
krūra-veśa dekha, yāra śraddhāspada se tomāra
bhakta kari’ paḍa tāra pāya
You consider as sādhus those who are merely pretending to be so, and their association makes you dance according to their whims. Those in whom you place your faith and before whose feet you bow may in truth be cruel in disguise.
(3)
bhakta-saṅga haya yāṅra, bhakti-phala phale tāṅra
akaitave śānta-bhāva dharo
cañcalatā chāḍi’ mana, bhaja kṛṣṇa-śrī-caraṇa
dhūrta-saṅga dūre parihara’
One who associates with devotees attains the fruit of bhakti. O mind, become peaceful and straightforward without deceit. Give up your restlessness, worship the divine feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and keep the company of deceitful persons far away.
