Cc Madhya 2.49

শুদ্ধপ্রেমসুখসিন্ধু, পাই তার এক বিন্দু, সেই বিন্দু জগত্ডুবায কহিবার যোগ্য নয, তথাপি বাউলে কয, কহিলে বা কেবা পাতিযায

शुद्धप्रेमसुखसिन्धु, पाइ तार एक बिन्दु, सेइ बिन्दु जगत्डुबाय कहिबार योग्य नय, तथापि बाउले कय, कहिले वा केबा पातियाय

śuddha-prema-sukha-sindhu, pāi tāra eka bindu, sei bindu jagat ḍubāya kahibāra yogya naya, tathāpi bāule kaya, kahile vā kebā pātiyāya

Synonyms

śuddha-prema—unalloyed love; sukha-sindhu—the ocean of happiness; pāi—if I get; tāra—of that; eka—one; bindu—drop; sei bindu—that drop; jagat—the whole world; ḍubāya—drowns; kahibāra—to speak; yogya naya—is not fit; tathāpi—still; bāule—a madman; kaya—speaks; kahile—if spoken; vā—or; kebā pātiyāya—who believes..

Translation

"Unalloyed love of Kṛṣṇa is like the ocean of happiness. If someone gets one drop of it, the whole world can drown in that drop. It is not befitting to express such love of Godhead, yet a madman must speak. However, even though he speaks, no one believes him."
