The instruction of the Lord
Prabhura ajna
Listen to Hari Dasa! When this lila of Mine is no longer visible[1], evil people will create darkness in the world.
At that time, these supreme instructions of yours will be correctly understood by those sadhus who are still present in this world[2].
The Niskincana[3] who takes shelter of this process and the Name, sits in a secluded place and engages in bhajana of Krishna.
A Jiva attains bhakti on the strength of his own good fortune, but not everyone has the power to achieve bhakti.
To make bhakti steady for those persons who have sukrti, I have appeared in order to propagate the Holy Name which is the yuga–dharma.
Hari Dasa Thakura is the assistant in the propagation of the Holy Name
Hari-dasa thakura nama-pracarera sahaya
You are my assistant in performing this activity, so I have listened and caused nama-tattva to come from your mouth.
Hari-nama Cintamani is an all-encompassing mine of nectar. It is achieved by the power of Krishna’s mercy. Such a person is very successful and is a great soul. He constantly experiences complete bliss, because it leads to the worship of Lord Krishna in raga-bhava[4].
Grasping the feet of such a person and crying, this insignificant individual who possesses nothing, constantly implores: After drinking it a little, please take what remains of the essence of that nectarean rasa and distribute that bliss.
