Although I’ve come to this human form
My Lord, I’ve spent my life uselessly.
I did not care for Radha and Krishna
And so I swallow poison knowingly.

Hare Krishna mantra comes straight from Krishnaloka
But with chanting I have no connection.
Day and night I’m burning in this dark world
Without working to make the correction.

Lord Krishna comes as Saci’s son
Balarama descends as Nitai.
By chanting the wretched have all been saved
Including Jagai and Madhai.

Oh my Lord, Oh Son of King Nanda
Together with Vrishabhanu’s daughter.
I’ve got no shelter but Radha and Krishna
Humbly prays Narottam Das Thakur

Although I’ve come to this human form
My Lord, I’ve spent my life uselessly.
I did not care for Radha and Krishna
And so I swallow poison knowingly.

Now the next natural question is ‘what is our higher intelligence?” The higher intelligence is very simple to understand. The higher intelligence is the word of Guru and Krishna people think their higher intelligence means their own discriminant discriminatory faculties to decide what is right and what is wrong. The real higher intelligence is the word of God as it is coming to the Shastra and as it is coming to the Guru. That

So, really what saint Valentine’s day is all about for a religious person is giving up everything, being willing to undergo even torture and death in the service of the Lord. That’s what Valentine’s day represents to a vaisnava or to a devotee. But to a materialistic person Saint Valentine’s Day means following in the footsteps of the lusty birds. Hare Krishna! We see the birds mating and we think this is romance. This is something wonderful. Let me do it too, let me be like the birds. That is Valentine’s day. Human beings trying to follow in the footsteps of the birds! Hare Krishna. But at the same time, Rupa Goswami explains that ‘just as a young boy loves a young girl, in the same way if we can repose our affection in Krishna, we will achieve the ultimate perfection of life. That same propensity for love and affection if we offer it to Krishna, it is the ultimate perfection of life. That love of the heart, its nature is to be offered to Krishna.
