Passing for the wise and faking wisdom,
The fools have arrived to preach!
Disrupting our devotion and flaunting their ignorance
The fools have arrived to preach!
‘None in our kin ever did this, so why should we?
Why play a saint, put tilak or worship tulsi?’ they ask.
Passing for the wise and faking wisdom,
The fools have arrived to preach!
‘It’s the vulgar who sing Hari’s praise, why should we?
We won’t ever go to the place where they sing Krishna’s praises!’
Passing for the wise and faking wisdom,
The fools have arrived to preach!
They overflow with vices and yet they preach,
When Death comes to castigate you,
Who will come to your rescue?
Passing for the wise and faking wisdom,
The fools have arrived to preach!
Only he who renounces his family
And bears the derision of the world will meet Hari!
Says Narsaiyyo; this priceless morning will flow away
In some futile gibberish!
Passing for the wise and faking wisdom, the fools have arrived to preach!
