Narottama Dasa Thakura
How can an ill-behaved
person like me attain
devotional service? I have
no loving attachment to Sri
Guru and Vaisnavas. My
mind is endlessly absorbed
in maya, and I don't even
have the slightest loving
attachment to the
Vaisnavas. I have been
blinded due to being
absorbed in sense
gratification day and night
and the witch named maya
repeatedly hangs a noose
around my neck.

There is no way to defeat
her or give her up unless I
attain the mercy of the
saints. O Vaisnava! O
master! You do not look
for faults, but you simply
redeem the fallen! This
time redeem this
Narottama!
