THE BELOVED OF BRINDABAN!

This precious diamond-like human birth,
Is not easily achieved:
Obtain the jewel of the Name Divine,
And go not hence, thirsty and unfulfilled!

Today in the midst of the bazaar,
Their shop, the saints have opened:
And those with longing true,
Pearl rosaries have already secured!

Give up indifference, abandon your doubts,
And search only for the alley of love:
To none have I disclosed,
The secret of this mystery, I vow!

Gokul is here, Mathura is here,
And so is the sacred Kashi here:
Not far is He, O Nuri,
The Beloved of Brindaban is but here!
