Even if I experience unlimited misery

[Pankaja_Dasa 1]

 

 

Chaitanya Bhagavata.

 

CB Adi-khanda 16.139

 

TEXT 139

“asesha durgati haya, yadi yaya prana

tathapi vadane na chadiba hari-nama

 

TRANSLATION

“ Even if I experience unlimited misery and die,

I will never give up chanting the Lord’s holy name.”

 

COMMENTARY

This is the teaching referred to in the previous verse.

Let the sense enjoyers, fruitive workers, and Mayavadis,

who are all opposed to devotional service, behave

inimically towards the devotees, yet the devotees never

give up chanting the holy names of the Lord.
