Intimate Love Attracts the Supreme Maintainer
“If My beloved consort reproaches Me in a sulky mood, that steals My mind from the reverent hymns of the Vedas.
What the purport teaches
- The beloved consort's reproach in a sulky mood draws the Lord's mind away from the reverent hymns of the Vedas.
- The Upaniṣads explain that all living entities depend on the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One eternal living entity supports all the other eternal living entities.
- Because the Lord maintains all other living entities, they remain subordinate to Him even in their exchanges of love with Him.
