“Dhir Samire Jamuna tire basati satata Banamali.  Dhirbhabe nam pumah punah uchharan karite karite kramashah bayur sthirbartti upasthit hoy.  Tatpar prakash pay, pare jitendriya hoy.  Indriyagan je dike monke karshan kare sai dik haite antarale thakibar satata chesta kariya punah punah monke dhir samire rakhar chesta karite hoy.  Jatai mon chanchal hauk na keno tatai monke dhir sthane rakhibar chesta karai prayojan.  Je sakal bisaye indriyagan pralubdha hoy tahate jatai mon aakrista hauk na keno tatai aaste aaste dhirer yoge bash rakhibar chesta karite hoy.  Nirjjan sthane basiya ei yoga na karile karjya siddha hoy na.  Aar beshi baje aalap byabahar karile badhak anek utpanna haiya thake.  Je parjyanta nidra aakrista na hoy sei parjyanta ei dhir samire thakite punah punah chesta kariben.  Kutastha chaitanyer aabirbhabe nityanander yoga hoy. Dhir samire jaoyar byabasthatukuke adwaita bhab baliya thake.  Ekhane pratistha ruchi janmile je bhab hoy tahake gadadhar bale.  Satata ei sthane aabegbridi bardhan shaktike Sribas bale.  Ei sthan chhariya anya kona sthane moner gati abong kona kamana basana na aase tahake yogstha bale.  Ei paricharjyar prati je pipasa abong paoyar janya je byagrata adhik hoy tahake baisnab bale.  Satata iharai paricharjyakari chittake bhakta bale janiben.”

Sri Sri Ram Thakur here says that Banamali ie God Krishna is always sitting in the bank of Jamuna River in the gentle breeze.  This means that the air will be steady/stable gradually if “Sri Name” pronounces/utters again and again gently.  Thereafter, it enlightens and later, can be won of indriya (body sense) whatever it is attracted mind by body sense, we should try always staying ourselves from the sense and again and again, we must try to keep mind in gentle breeze.  Mind whatever may be restless but we must try to keep mind slowly to God/real destination.  We must try to keep slowly in our control whatever mind may be attracted to various comfortable body senses.  One may not be able to achieve by not practising in the isolated place.  Besides this, if we are busy more with the bad discussion, there appears many obstacles.  So, we are attracted with sleep, we must have to try again and again to stay slowly by reciting “Holy Sri name’.  If kutasta chaitanya/concrete knowledge appears, the power of “Nityanand”/delight for ever fixes to the body.  It is called “Adwaita” (only one) mood/feeling of this arrangement.  Here, if it creates establishment of charming, it is called “Gadadhar”.  Increasing feeling of this stability always in that stage is called “Shreebas” ie power of God. If motion of mind or hopes and desires do not appear, it is called Yogastha/stability of Yoga.  To practise/cultivation to this is called thirstiness and excessive interest to reach this goal acquire to have God is called “Vaisnab”.  It is called “Bhakta” if it is practised always for cultivation of the heart.
