“Alas! It seems that you are repeatedly coming and going. Why do you not impetuously embrace me as you did before, being impelled by the exhilaration of love?” Commentary“O my darling Kåçäìgi, I am seeing you come and go before my eyes; not more than that. You are just coming and going. Why are you not binding me in the ropes of your embrace today? Why have you become so cruel?” It is true that when a lonely man’s despair reaches its highest point, so does the intensity of his contemplation. At that time it seems as if his lover is actually present before him. Now Kṛṣṇa has become so desperate in the absence of Rädhä that his meditation has culminated in directly perceiving her before his eyes. It appears to him that Rädhä and only Rädhä is everywhere, in all directions. She is here; she is there. Only Rädhä appears to him in every aspect of existence. |
