O king, for those who have amassed very few pious activities, their faith in maha-prasada, in Sri Govinda, in the Holy Name and in the Vaisnava is never born. O brothers! This material body is a network of ignorance, and the senses are one's deadly enemies, for they throw the soul into the ocean of material sense enjoyment. Among the senses, the tongue is the most voracious and verily wicked; it is very difficult to conquer the tongue in this world. O brothers! Lord Krsna is very merciful-just to control the tongue He has given us the remnants of His own food! Now please eat these nectarean grains while singing the glories of Their Lordships Sri Radha and Krsna, and in love call out "Caitanya! Nitai!" 41

Gurur brahma gurur vishnuh Gurur devo maheshwarah Gurur sākşāt para-brahma Tasmai sri gurave namah Guru is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara. Guru, as brahma, plants the seed of bhakti. Guru, as Vishnu, nourishes the creeper of bhakti. Guru, as Maheshwar, destroys all obstacles in the path of bhakti. Guru is non-different from supreme lord. To 52 that guru, I offer my obeisances.
