English Translation
▾ But the only saviour there is!
▾ For you to get onto the right path
▾ Ensure on lotus feet focus hath!
▾ Without this but any other way –
▾ Wretched Acyuti does not see lay.
▾ Is an invisible force reckon
▾ Somewhere suddenly, see that appears,
▾ Somewhere suddenly then disappears!
▾ Somewhere it goes on playing, o’ son –
▾ With devotee, like a ghost in wind spun,
▾ And this way, closely lingers on, son,
▾ In that very thought immersed as one.
▾ In fervent thoughts merge in era’s feat.
▾ The Son of Nanda Himself does play!
▾ Then, daily, but His sweet laughter’s lure,
▾ In ears, you will keep hearing for sure
▾ Jingle from anklets strung with bell weights
▾ Flute’s melody and other great traits
▾ Later, with Rādhā pastimes and all –
▾ Essence of restless love shall recall
▾ Thus unending ardour manifests,
▾ Acyuti’s words in lies never rests.
▾ With me never stays along, o’ son,
▾ I am but the devotee’s lifeline,
▾ And devotee is the wealth of mine!
Summary:
(1-3) The Great Saint and Prophet Mahāpuruṣa Acyutānanda says that taking the name of the Supreme Lord ~ Śri Kṛṣṇa is but the only way to save ourselves from the machinations of this material world. The right path shall reveal when the focus is on the Lotus Feet of the Supreme Lord. But without this, Acyutānada says, there is no other way.
(4-7) He further reveals that there is an invisible force that establishes every Yuga Kaḷpa (Era’s Cycle). At times, somewhere this very force suddenly appears, and other times equally suddenly disappears. And some other times this force plays with a devotee, holding onto him like a ghost in the wind, and then doesn’t leave him, one must remember this!
(8) Mahāpuruṣa further suggests that with ardour and love one must visualise the Feet of Lord, and merge into it forgetting time itself.
(9-10) This invisible force which is called Kṛṣṇa – Nanda’s son, plays with the devotee every single day (often without knowledge of the devotee)! But with thoughts focused on the Lotus Feet, the devotee will be able to even hear the sound of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s laughter in his very own ears!
(11-12) Then, the devotee will also be able to hear the sound of flute, among other gameplays of the Lord. Later he will be able to recall the pastimes of Lord Kṛṣṇa with Radhā, and understand the essence of restless, yearning love.
(13) Acyutānanda says that at this point the devotee will be completely absorbed in blissful ardour. This is but not untrue. The Mahāpuruṣa signs off saying that it is not his intent to inject malice, deal in lies or spread doubt through this revelation.
(14-15) The Saint Mahāpuruṣa Acyutānanda being an embodiment of Lord Jagannātha Himself as Acyuti (the Infallible One) is sharing this Secret of Divine Interaction with Lord Kṛṣṇa, since He Himself stays in the devotee’s heart, and since Devotee is but His greatest wealth!
Disclaimer:
The Divine Revelations extracted and presented here in their original and uncorrupted form have made heavy incorporation of Chanda (Poetic Metre and Crypt), have multiple meanings and ingrain deep symbolism which make them very difficult to understand. While the same Sūkti (Divine Revelation) may also be understood and interpreted differently by different seekers and teachers of Spiritualism, all paths lead to the same goal towards realisation of Brahma (the Ultimate Truth).
The above Translation and Summarisation is a humble attempt by members of Hari Parivār to interpret and explain the original extraction in context of the Supreme Lord Jagannātha’s prescribed path of Bhāva (Ardour), Bhakti (Devotion) and Prema (Love).
