TRANSLATION

Anyone who attains a human body but does not take to the cult of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu is baffted in his opportunity. Amrtadhuni is a flowing river of the
nectar of devotional service. If after getting a human body one drinks the water in a
poison pit of material happiness instead of the water of such a river, it would be
better for him not to have lived, but to have died long ago.
