Bhajahū Re Mana

1) O mind worship the Lotus Feet of the son of Nanda Maharaj, which bestows fearlessness. Having obtained this rare human birth, cross over this ocean of worldly existence through the association of saintly persons. 2) Both in the day and at night I remain sleepless, suffering the pains of the heat and cold, the wind and the rain. For a fraction of flickering happiness I have uselessly served wicked and miserly Mein. 3) What assurance of real happiness is there in all of one's wealth, youthfulness, sons, and family members? This life is tottering like a drop of water on a lotus petal; therefore you should always serve and worship the Divine Feet of Lord Hari. 4) It is the desire and great longing of Govinda Dasa to engage himself in the nine processes of bhakti, namely hearing the glories of Lord Hari and singing those glories, constantly remembering Him and offering prayers to Him, serving the Lord's Lotus Feet, serving the supreme Lord as a servant, worshiping Him with rituals (prayers and offerings), serving Him as a friend, and completely surrendering one's body, mind and soul to the supreme Lord.
