gopinath, mama nivedana suno
visayi durjana, sada kama-rata,
kichu nahi mora guna

2
gopinath, amara bharasa tumi
tomara carane, loinu sarana,
tomara kinkora ami

3
gopinath, kemone sodhibe more
na jani bhakati, karme jada-mati,
porechi somsara-ghore

4
gopinath, sakali tomara maya
nahi mama bala, jnana sunirmala,
swadhina nahe e kaya

5
gopinath, niyata carane sthana
mage e pamara, kandiya kandiya
korohe karuni dana

6
gopinath, tumi to' sakali paro
durjane tarite, tomara sakati,
ke ache papira aro

7
gopinath, tumi krpa-parabara
jivera karane, asiya prapance,
lila koile subistara

8
gopinath, ami ki dose dosi
asura sakala, pailo carana,
vinoda thakilo bosi'

THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS
Let me ask you a few simple questions: Do you exist at this moment? Did you exist five years ago? Are you your body? Most people would answer “yes” to all three questions. But if you identify your body as yourself, and simultaneously accept that you exist now and also existed five years ago, then you have a problem: The body you had five years ago does not exist today. There is a dynamic turnover of atoms and molecules which make up your body. There isn’t a single particle of matter—not one atom—present in your body today that was present five years ago. The body you have today is not the same body you had five years ago. It’s not that the body you had still exists but has now changed somewhat. No. The body you had is gone. That collection of atoms appearing as flesh, bone, blood, hair, and so on no longer exists. Yet you still exist.
