Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesSeek Love for Kṛṣṇa Wherever You Are
“Wherever we are made to wander about this world by the Supreme Lord’s will, in accordance with the reactions to our fruitive work, may our good works and charity always grant Us love for Lord Kṛṣṇa.”
What the purport teaches
- The cowherds speak of wandering through this world according to the reactions to their fruitive work and the Supreme Lord’s will.
- Wherever they may go, their prayer remains the same: may they have love for Lord Kṛṣṇa.
- They ask that their good works and charity grant them love for Him. Love for the Supreme Lord is the desired result of their actions.
