Lyrics
Roman script[nb 1] | Bengali script | Translation |
---|---|---|
Ucát́ana mana ná máne bárańa |
উচাটন মন না মানে বারণ |
My avid mind acknowledges no barriers— |
Purport
This is how Sarkar himself described the meaning of the song—[3]
There are so many charms, so many objects of fascination on this earth; but the accumulated force of all these sweet worldly attractions is far less than the attraction for Paramapuruśa. Before this supreme attraction all other worldly attractions fade. The mind wants a closer affinity to Him; and no charms, no attractions, no fascinations of this mundane world can create any obstacles on the path. Now there remains the eternal question: Why is the cosmic attraction so powerful and irresistible? Why is the call of the Great so great?
