# Cc. Madhya 11.49 ## Text > yadi sei mahāprabhura nā pāi kṛpā-dhana > kibā rājya, kibā deha,-saba akāraṇa ## Synonyms *yadi*—if; *sei*—that; *mahāprabhura*—of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; *nā*—not; *pāi*—I get; *kṛpā*-*dhana*—the treasure of mercy; *kibā* *rājya*—what is the value of my kingdom; *kibā* *deha*—what is the value of this body; *saba* *akāraṇa*—everything useless. ## Translation **"If I do not receive Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mercy, my body and my kingdom are certainly useless."** ## Purport This is an excellent example of *dṛḍha-vrata,* determination. If one does not receive the Supreme Personality of Godhead's mercy, one's life is defeated. In *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam* [[sb/5/5/5|(5.5.5)]] it is said: *parābhavas tāvad abodha-jāto yāvan na jijñāsata ātma-tattvam.* Unless one inquires into spiritual life, everything is useless. Without spiritual inquiry, our labor and the object of our labor are simply a waste of time.
