TRANSLATION

Therefore, O Lord, O Transcendence, kindly help us by giving
us the power to execute bhakti-yoga so that we can control our
restless minds and fix them upon You. We are all infected by Your
illusory energy; therefore we are very attached to the body, which
is full of stool and urine, and to anything related with the body.
Except for devotional service, there is no way to give up this at-
tachment. Therefore kindly bestow upon us this benediction.

PURPORT

The Lord advises in Bhagavad-gita: man-mand bhava mad-bhakto
mad-yaji mam namaskuru. The perfect yoga system consists of always
thinking of Krsna, always engaging in devotional service, always
worshiping Krsna and always offering obeisances unto Him. Unless we
practice this yoga system, our illusory attachment for this bad body,
which is full of stool and urine, is impossible to give up. The perfection
of yoga consists of giving up attachment for this body and bodily rela-
tionships and transferring that attachment to Krsna. We are very
attached to material enjoyment, but when we transfer that same attach-
ment to Krsna, we traverse the path of liberation. One has to practice this
yoga system and none other.
