My Lord, Your Lordship can easily be approached, but only bythose who are materially exhausted. One who is on the path of

My Lord, I consider Your Lordship to be eternal time, the

supreme controller, without beginning and end, the all-

pervasive one. In distributing Your mercy, You are equal to

everyone. The dissensions between living beings are due to

social intercourse.

Of course it is bewildering, O soul of the universe, that You

work, though You are inactive, and that You take birth, thoughYou are the vital force and the unborn. You Yourself descend

among animals, men, sages, and aquatics. Verily, this is

bewildering.

My dear Krsna, Yasoda took up a rope to bind You when You

committed an offense, and Your perturbed eyes overflooded

with tears, which washed the mascara from Your eyes. And

You were afraid, though fear personified is afraid of You. Thissight is bewildering to me.

All these cities and villages are flourishing in all respects

because the herbs and grains are in abundance, the trees are

full of fruits, the rivers are flowing, the hills are full of minerals,

and the oceans full of wealth. And this is all due to Your

glancing over them.
