CC Madhya 24.165
Madhya-līlā, Chapter 24, Text 165
‘আত্মা’ শব্দে ‘মন’ কহ — মনে যেই রমে ।
সাধুসঙ্গে সেহ ভজে শ্রীকৃষ্ণচরণে ॥ ১৬৫ ॥
সাধুসঙ্গে সেহ ভজে শ্রীকৃষ্ণচরণে ॥ ১৬৫ ॥
‘ātmā’ śabde ‘mana’ kaha — mane yei rame
sādhu-saṅge seha bhaje śrī-kṛṣṇa-caraṇe
sādhu-saṅge seha bhaje śrī-kṛṣṇa-caraṇe
Word by word
ātmā-śabde — by the word ātmā; mana — the mind; kaha — if you say; mane — within the mind; yei rame — one who is satisfied by speculation; sādhu-saṅge — by the association of devotees; seha — he also; bhaje — takes to devotional service; śrī-kṛṣṇa-caraṇe — at the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Translation
“The word ‘ātmā’ sometimes means ‘the mind.’ In this case the word ‘ātmārāma’ means ‘a person who is satisfied by mental speculation.’ When such a person associates with a pure devotee, he takes to devotional service at the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa.”
