Renunciation, - Crow's - Stool Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

There are two types of renunciation:
false and proper
(vairagya dui prakara—phalgu o yukta)

eka-dina jijnasilena gosani sanatana
"'yukta vairagya' kare bale prabhu karuna varnana

eka-dina-One day, sanatana
gosani-Sanatan Goswami jijnasilena-asked,
"kare bale-"What is 'yukta vairagya'-proper renunciation?

prabhu-O Lord, varnana karuna-please explain [it].

One day, Sanatan Goswami asked, "What is proper renunciation? O Lord, please explain it.

mayavadi bale, 'saba kaka-vistha-sama
visaya janile nyasi haya sarvottama'

mayavadi-Illusionists bale-say, 'nyasi janile-'If a sannyasi considers saba visaya-everything material kaka-vistha-sama-to be equal to crow's stool, [then] haya-they are sarvottama'-the best of all.'

"Mayavadis say, 'If a sannyasi considers everything material to be crow's stool, then they are the best of men.'
