Gautam Saha: O Krsna, what is Your heavenly pastime ?
\nIn Vaikuntha, how do You perform activities sublime ?
\nWhen do You work, when do You enjoy leisure ?
\nWhen do You rest or enact activities of pleasure ? <\/p>\n
To provide every creature his daily food, You never forget
\nO Vishnu, You ensure that everyone\u2019s material needs are fully met
\nBe it an ant, a whale, or any other being of material creation
\nEach and every one is looked after by Your grace and disposition <\/p>\n
Whereas every creature has assumed a material body due to past karma
\nYour body is spiritual, O Narayan, because you are beyond kaal and karma
\nKaal and karma are both under the supreme control of Your holy writ
\nYou are the master and last refuge of both matter and spirit <\/p>\n
You had descended to earth, O Krsna, O supreme Lord and Master
\nBy Your own internal potencies, of the various devtas the only Controller
\nThough at such times, You occasionally assume a human form
\nTo give Your devotees pleasure, wonderful pastimes You do perform <\/p>\n
Wherever and whenever there is a decline in religiosity, O Lord
\nYou descend to earth, to deliver the pious, O supreme God
\nTo annihilate the miscreants, the sudarshan chakra You do empower
\nTo bless and protect Your devotees, You carry a conch and a lotus flower <\/p>\n
Me and my measly activity are all under the spell of material nature
\nWhere do I stand in comparison with even one of your heavenly feature ?
\nWhereas everyday, you care for the trillions of creatures in this macrocosm
\nHow many do I care for, even if, beside myself, I do think of any other living form <\/p>\n
Please let me offer you a small and simple bit of food
\nSo that in this world of sin and discord, I can do my bit of good
\nThis little service can never equal Yours in love or generosity
\nNor in any way come close to Your eternal spiritual potency <\/p>\n
Please let me wash away my mediocre thoughts and inanity
\nBy connecting with You, O Krishna, in love and service, with humility
\nIn proximity to Your Holy Name and timeless opulence
\nSo that, in this life, I can rise above my inane presence <\/p>\n
