Vaishnava Samhita. Dhruvadasa Charitam. Vol II Book VI Chp 7 Shlokas 5 - 7
अनित्यं यौवनं ह्येतदनित्यं सुन्दरं वपुः |
न पश्यन्ति तथाप्येवं कामदूषितमानसाः ||
अनन्तकोटिजीवानां जननं मरणं तथा |
पश्यन्ति न जानन्ति मायाचक्रं जगद्गुरोः ||
ममकारेण सम्युक्ता धनदार गृहादिषु |
न जानन्ति परं तत्वमानन्दं हृदयस्थितम् ||
Men who hanker after pleasures never think and realize the fickle nature of youth or the perishability of the body. Even when they watch and witness the birth and the death of crores of beings every day, they do not recognize the pall of illusion spread by Bhagavan. Those who take pride in the possession of wife, wealth, property, etc fail to realize the Supreme Being residing in their hearts.
Vaishnava Samhita. Dhruvadasa Charitam. Vol II Book VI Chp 7 Shlokas 3 - 4
पाशहस्ते महाघोरे काले तिष्ठति पृष्ठतः |
अविवेकेन संमूढा वर्तन्ते भववर्त्मनि ||
पूर्वं जन्म न जानन्ति न तथा मरणात्परम् |
अल्पकाले विमुह्यन्ति संसारसुखलोलुपाः ||
Even while Yama is standing vigilant at their heels with the rope in hand, foolish men take delight in earthly life. People do not know where we were before this birth and where we will be after death. But they get intoxicated in the paltry pleasures available during their short span of life.
Vaishnava Samhita. Dhruvadasa Charitam. Vol II Book VI Chp 7 Shloka 2
संप्राप्य मानुषं जन्म भारते जनमण्डले |
येषां न माधवे भक्तिस्ते नूनं धिक्कृताः सुरैः ||
The devas scorn the very sight of those human beings who have taken birth in the country Bharat and are yet devoid of Krishna bhakti.

श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
दुर्लभं मानुषं जन्म दुर्लभः साधुसङ्गमः |
दुर्लभा विष्णुभक्तिश्च गोपीभावः सुदुर्लभः ||
Shri Sadguru said
Birth as a human being is very precious and rare. The association of the sadhus is very difficult to attain. Then too, to get Hari bhakti is impossible. Above all, Gopi Bhava is unattainable.
Vaishnava Samhita. Gopinatha Charitam. Vol II Book VI Chp 6 Shlokas 31 - 33
एवं हि लालदासश्च नवजीवनमेत्य सः |
कृष्णभक्तिरतो भूत्वा बभौ भागवतोत्तमः |
सुस्वरं मधुरं गायन् राधारङ्गं क्रुपानिधिम् |
उवास यमुनातीरे बृन्दारण्ये तु चिन्मये ||
करं निधाय ह्रदये चिन्तयन्नात्मनो गुरुम् |
स्मरेत्तस्योपकारञ्च गुरुभक्तस्त्वहर्निशम् ||
Thus Lalaswami got a new life, became a Krishna bhakta and hence a bhagavata. He went round the holy Brindavan situated on the bank of the Yamuna singing the sweet glory of the merciful Lord, Shri Radhakrishna. A true disciple should meditate upon his guru with his hand on his chest. He should always ponder upon the mercy of his guru.
Thus ends Chapter Six entitled "Gopinatha Charitam" of Book VI of Shri Vaishnava Samhita composed by Shri Shri Krishna Premi Swamigal.
