The Lost Lord of Liberation
Scene Eighteen : Song 18 : Verse 8
Translation“Allow Çré Hari to come close to you. Allow him to speak some sweet words. Why are you inflicting even more pain upon your own heart?” CommentaryRädhä’s sakhé says, “Dear Rädhä, let Hari come close to you. Let him speak sweet words. It is not befitting for you to remain apart from him. Make yourself happy by listening to his words of flattery and thereby also make him blissful. Your heart is anxious for him, so why are you resisting? You are uselessly betraying your own heart. It is improper to inflict suffering upon yourself by sulking in this way. Give up your mäna.” |
