Bastutoh Sakali Tava
Atma Nivedana Song 6
bastutaḥ
sakali tava, jīva keho noy `aham'-`mama'-bhrame
bhromi' bhoge śoka-bhoy
In truth, all things belong to You. No jiva is owner of anything. The tiny soul wanders in this world mistakenly thinking, "I am this transitory body, and everything related to this body is mine." Thus he suffers sorrow and fear.
ahaṁ-mama-abhimāna
ei-mātro dhan baddha-jīva
nija boli' jāne mane man
The conditioned soul is falsely proud and considers everything attached to the words "I" and "mine" to be his treasures alone.
sei
abhimāne āmi saṁsāre poḍiyā hābuḍubu
khāi bhava-sindhu sāṅtāriyā
Due to that same vanity, I fell into this world. Floundering in the ocean of mundane existence like a drowning man, I suffer the pangs of rising and sinking in that ocean.
tomāra
abhoya-pade loiyā śaraṇ āji
āmi korilāma ātma-nivedan
I take shelter at Your lotus feet, which award fearlessness, and dedicate myself to You on this day.
`ahaṁ'-`mama'-abhimāna
chāḍilo āmāy ār
jeno mama hṛde stāna nāhi pāy
The vanity of "I" and "mine" has left me now. May it never again find a place within my heart.
ei
mātro bala prabhu! dibe he āmāre ahaṁtā-mamatā
dūre pāri rākhibāre
O Lord, please give me this strength, that I may be able to keep the false conceptions of "I" and "Mine" far away.
ātma-nivedana-bhāva
hṛde dṛḍha roy hasti-snāna
sama jeno khanika nā hoy
May the mood of self-surrender to the Supreme Lord remain firmly fixed in my heart and not prove to be like the momentary cleanliness of an elephant after a bath.
bhakativinoda
prabhu nityānanda pāy māge
parasāda, jāhe abhimāna jāy
Bhaktivinoda begs at the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda for the grace which delivers one from all false pride.
