Cmp 43. Give Up Fault Finding Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU

Jagai and Madhai, the dacoits,
And the habitual drunkards,
Were saved by the Lord
From their bad deeds.

He said, "Devotees
In their spiritual lives
Should not find faults
With other devotees."

"Such regular faultfinders,
And habitual offenders,
Will not progress well,
But they'll go to hell."

"Don't take the two dacoits,
For their past, as sinners,
As I've destroyed their sins,
And taken them as Vaishnavas."

One's devotional qualities,
He saw, ignoring his faults.
Thus He's a born deliverer
Of fallen souls, forever.

By His mercy, the two dacoits
Became Krishna's devotees,
By regularly chanting His name,
Not doing any more crime.

Materialists blinded by family,
Position and glittering gold hardly
They could recognize honestly,
In their lives, a Vaishnava, really.

Lord Krishna never accepts
Any offerings from those,
Who ridicules badly devotees,
Treating them as poor simpletons.

"For the surrendered devotees,
Materially impoverished ones,
Their life and soul is Krishna, "
Thus Vedas glorify Lord Krishna.

His true identity remained
To common men, undisclosed,
But His devotees understood,
That He was their Godhead.
