The Prayer of Brahma
Verses (duladi
metre)
The law-maker said, “O my
master, the lord of primal nature,
Lord of All Opulence, personality
of grace,
Doing service to you for
an extremely long period of time, today only
I have come to know you.
God! Oh God! How
evil-minded
could the people of this
world be!
About such a beloved mate,
the supreme controller Krsna, the immanent personality of joy,
not a single person knows!
510
Due to this great fault
only, they fall into hell
and suffer many kinds of miseries.
You alone are only the
sole object of pure devotion
as you are the everlasting,
eternal truth—the supremely conscious pure-personality.
Therefore, there is no justification
for bringing in other, false entities for worship,
such is the verdict I
pronounce.
Even if some entities appear
to be true, on reflection, again,
their truth doesn't hold
up. 511
I know that holding many
forms through the qualities of primal matter,
it is only you who are
revealed in all.
On account of this only—your
spiritual touch—that even in those material objects,
some semblance of truth
is seen.
If you say this that ‘even
you have failed
to know me well;
whatever you see—this
form of mine—
that, again, is full of material
attributes? 512
Only the formless and attribute-less
Brahman is the truth,
so say the people of the
world?’
then I now give the
answer to that,
O lord of my life, please
listen.
O Lord of All Opulence!
Fulfilling the wish of
all your single-minded devotees,
you are revealing to us
this true form
of pure consciousness and
bliss (cidananda), O the shelter of all personalities! 513
Apart from this form,
again, there is no other separate
supreme Brahman form of you.
From this transcendental body
only, the various descents emanate always; into this they return.
In the abode of whose lotus-navel
currently
even I have come to be
born;
Extremely incomparable,
greatly charming,
this form of mine I have
directly obtained. 514
Therefore only, in this true
form of you
I take sole-refuge,
compassionate one.
Since it is destitute of
duality (advaita), for that reason this true form only
is fit for doing worship to.”
Hear, men and women, with
undivided mind,
to the Bhagavata
without a break.
Gopalacarana says, “Utter
out aloud ‘Rama,’ ‘Rama’
at all times, always." 515
