Separation Speaks in Accusations
“O misbehaved Providence! If you reply to Us, ‘Akrūra is actually at fault; why are You angry with me?’ then I say to you, ‘Providence, you have taken the form of Akrūra and have stolen Kṛṣṇa away. No one else would behave like this.’
What the purport teaches
- In the anguish of separation, Providence is accused of taking the form of Akrūra and stealing Kṛṣṇa away.
- The speaker anticipates Providence blaming Akrūra, but does not accept that distinction.
- These words belong to the lament of love in separation that Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu expresses in this passage.
