The next day, Vrajanātha reached Śrīvasa-aṅgana earlier than on previous days. The Vaiṣṇavas from Godruma had also come before evening to take darśana of sandhyā āratī, and
Śrī Premadāsa Paramahaṁsa Bābājī, Vaiṣṇava dāsa, Advaita dāsa,
and other Vaiṣṇavas were already seated in the ārati-maṇḍapa. When Vrajanātha saw the bhāvas of the Vaiṣṇavas from
Godruma, he was struck with wonder, and thought, “I will perfect
my life by having their association as soon as possible.” When those Vaiṣṇavas saw his humble and devotional disposition, all of
them bestowed their blessings on Vrajanātha.
When āratī was over, Vrajanātha and the elderly Bābājī began
to walk southwards together in the direction of Godruma. Raghunātha dāsa Bābājī saw tears continuously falling from
Vrajanātha’s eyes and, feeling very affectionate towards him,
asked lovingly, “Bābā, why are you weeping?”
Vrajanātha said, “Prabhu, when I remember your sweet
instructions, my heart becomes restless and the entire world
seems to be devoid of all substance. My heart is becoming eager to take shelter at Śrī Gaurāṅga-deva’s lotus feet. Please be merci-
ful to me and tell me who I really am according to tattva, and why
I have come to this world.”
