Sita atapa bata barisana e dina jamini jagi re
Biphale sevinu krpana durajana capala sukha-laba lagi' re
My dear brother, i request that you just worship lord caitanya and nityananda with firm conviction and faith. if one wants to be krishna-conscious by this process, one has to give up his engagement in sense gratification. one simply has to chant, "hare krishna! hari hari!" without any motive.
E dhana, yaubana, putra, parijana ithe ki ache paratiti re

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.
Sravana, kirtana, smarana, vandana, pada sevana, dasya re
Pujana, sakhi-jana, atma-nivedana govinda-dasa-abhilasa re
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 chanting 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 flowers and incense and so forth, serving him as a friend, and completely offering the lord one's very self.
