O Lord of the universe,
I don't want wealth, followers,
beautiful women, wisdom, or verse.
I ask only for unalloyed bhakti unto you,
O Pranesvara, birth after birth.
* this verse demonstrates the stage of ruci
- humility (trnad api) feeds development of love, and with deeper love, deeper humility arises.
- the medicine of nama becomes food, and undeterred devotion becomes unmotivated devotion. ref SB 1.2.6 - ahaituki apratihata
- the marginal characteristic (tatastha-laksana) of ruci is freedom from ulterior motive. This mirrors BRS's anyabhilasita sunyam, jnana karamadyanavrtam
- the principal characteristic (svarupa-laksana) of ruci is attachment to bhakti. (BRS anukulyena krsnanusilanam)
- The first two lines of Mahaprabhu's verse here describe the marginal characteristics of ruci bhakti. He desires nothing of the purusartha's, goals of life - dharma, artha, kama, moksa.
