Repeated Requests Meet the Same Difficulty

“Govinda made his request again and again, but the Lord replied, “I cannot move My body.””

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 10.87, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Govinda made his request again and again.
  • The Lord continued to reply that He could not move His body.
  • Govinda wanted to enter to serve, but repeated requests did not remove the difficulty.

Try this today

When a request cannot be fulfilled today, pause and acknowledge the difficulty without blaming anyone.

Ask yourself

Can I remain patient when repeating a request does not change the situation?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

The study points are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport; the practice and question are plain words for trying the verse today.
