The Lost Lord of Liberation

Scene Eighteen : Song 18 : Verse 7

janayasi manasi kim iti guru-khedam çåëu mama vacanam anéhita-bhedam mädhave Translation “Why are you so agitated in your heart of hearts? Listen to me. I am speaking only for your benefit, without any ulterior motive.” Commentary Even after hearing the suggestions of her friend, Rädhä was still upset. The sakhé added, “O my dear friend, why has your heart become so inimical? Why are you unnecessarily suspicious? Why are you being so problematic? I can see that you have become apathetic, inactive and disinterested from the lacerating experience of separation. Pay attention! Listen to me. I only desire your welfare. Just understand this – there is no difference between you and Shri Kṛṣṇa.”
