Lyrics for "Debt of Love"
I am not here,
but there with
My mind,
I am so bound
‘cause of a
promise of love.
I have a debt
since the day
I left
“I will
return” - I said this to them
They have given
everything up for Me
their love is
in Me
There isn’t
any other way to repay
but to love ‘
em in the same way
I am their air
for this My
heart weeps
I’m in big debt
to their love,
the tears they shed,
I've gone away
I did not
return,
they trust
what I said just before I left
my words are
their hope and reason to live
they breath
for me
O Queen, how
they keep alive gives me pain,
they want to
see me once again
You asked
before
Who’s this
love for?
Tears melt my
dreams
When I think
of Her
She does not
know anything else than Me
She lives for
Me
To know this
love I’ve to steal Her heart
to love with
her love.
I’ll give up
pearls and curls, one day
love tears is my debt to repay.
love tears is my debt to repay.

"With that prema they [gopis] have
given up everything. [...] By their love, Krishna's promise was broken. His
pormise is -'As someone approaches me I reciprocate accordingly' {Bg 4.11}
Krishna never becomes indebted, He always repays his debts. But this promise of
his was broken by the gopis, because the gopis do not want anything, how will
he repay them?
[...] {Bhag. 10.32.22} "I have become
completely indebted to you. I cannot pay you back, because you don't want
anything. What shall I do?"
To pay back his debt he became Gaura,
assuming the mood of Radharani is crying and feeling acute pangs of separation
from Krishna. This is Gaura. [...] As Radharani is crying, crying, crying and
drowning herself in this unfathomable ocean of separation, similarly Gaura is
burning himself with the fire of separations from Krishna." by SGGS

More of Sri Radha Madhuri :
ReplyDeleteThis is a 'pada' of Saint Sura das,describing
the first time mischievous Lord Krishna chanced upon Sri Radha as a young girl playing in Her court yard and how casually,how cleverly,it all begins in the dialogue poem.
"Who are You,My Fair One?" the Dark One asks,
"And where is Your family,Your house?
you have never been seen in Braj lanes."
"Never You mind-I stay in My yard
and play behind My gate,never venture out
Where,I've heard,Nanda's Boy is bound
to steal Our butter and curd."
"Now what of Yours would I possibly steal?
Come on,let's both of US play."
That GOURMET OF LOVE,Sur's Lord,with His words
disarms poor Radha,simple GIRL.
(Translation by John S.Hawley)
Jaya Sri Radhe!
