জীবের স্বভাব—কৃষ্ণদাস-অভিমান ।
দেহে আত্মজ্ঞানে আচ্ছাদিত সেই জ্ঞান ॥
jīvera svabhāva—kṛṣṇa-dāsa-abhimāna |
dehe ātma-jñāne ācchādita sei jñāna ||
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta: 2.24.201)
“The identity of being a servant of Kṛṣṇa is the nature of the jīva. Such awareness is covered by identification with the body.”
