एकदा तानसेनेन गायकानां वरेण सः |
गीतं गोविन्दमाहात्म्यं श्रुत्वाsभूत्प्रेममोहितः ||
अचिरेणैव कालेन बृन्दावनमगान्नृपः |
सन्त्यज्य सर्वं राज्यञ्च विरक्तो वैष्णवोत्तमः ||
किमत्र चित्रं भक्तानां विरक्तानां तु वैभवे |
साम्राज्य पारमेष्ठय्ञ्च यैरेवं लोष्टवत्स्मृतम् ||
निरन्तरं विहरतां कृष्णभक्तिरसाम्बुधौ |
किं क्षुद्रैः कूपसलिलैर्महादुर्गन्धदुःसहैः ||
कुर्वन्तीमञ्जलिज्चाग्रे साक्षान्मुक्तिमुपस्थिताम् |
उपेक्षन्ते कृष्णभक्ताः किं पुनर्लोकसंपदम् ||
Once he happened to listen to the music of Tansen., the renowned musician. Listening to the songs in praise of Shri Krishna, he got bewitched. After a short period, that distinguished vaishnava developed total detachment from the world, gave up the kingdom, and reached Shri Brindavan. There is nothing surprising in such acts of the dispassionate bhaktas. To them even the high post of Brahma, the creator, and a big empire are equal to dust particles only. They are always reveling in the great ocean filled with the nectar of Krishna Bhakti. What use does the stinking water of the well of worldliness have for them? The true devotees of Shri Krishna dislike even eternal liberation that stands before them, in great respect with folded hands. Then why to talk of this material world ?
