Chatuḥślokī

॥ १ ॥
Sarvadā sarva bhāvena, bhajanīyo Vrajādhipaḥ |
Svasya ayam eva dharmo hi, nānyaḥ kvāpi kadācana ||1||

Meaning: One should continuously perform Sevā of Vrajapati Shri Kṛṣṇa with Sarvātma-bhāva (offering total, unreserved love and service to Prabhu). This alone is the devotee’s Dharma; this is certain. At any place and at any time, there is no other Dharma apart from Sevā. ॥1॥

॥ २ ॥
Evaṁ sadā sma kartavyaṁ, svayam eva kariṣyati |
Prabhuḥ sarva-samartho hi, tato niścintatāṁ vrajet ||2||

Meaning: One should continuously act in this manner. Bhagavān, the Swami of the devotees, is the very source of all that concerns the devotee; therefore, Bhagavān Himself will certainly accomplish all the devotee’s works. This is well known. The devotee should remain free from worry. ॥2॥

॥ ३ ॥
Yadi Śrī Gokulādhīśo, dhṛtaḥ sarvātmanā hy adi |
Tataḥ kim aparaṁ brūhi, laukikaiḥ vaidikaiḥ api ||3||

Meaning: If Shri Kṛṣṇacandra, the Nath of Gokula, has been held within the heart in every manner, then what superiority is there in worldly happiness or in heaven arising from Vedic actions? In other words, what purpose is served by worldly and Vedic happiness? If there is any, then speak of it. ॥3॥

॥ ४ ॥
Ataḥ sarvātmanā śaśvad, Gokuleśvara pādayoḥ |
Smaraṇaṁ bhajanaṁ cāpi, na tyājyam iti me matiḥ ||4||

Meaning: Therefore, with Sarvātma-bhāva (Absolute surrender), to never abandon the continuous Smaraṇa and Sevā of the lotus feet of Shri Gokuleśa,this is my firm conviction. ॥4॥
