Lament Turns From Anger to Misfortune
“Yet why should I be angry with Kṛṣṇa? It is the fault of My own misfortune. The fruit of My sinful activities has ripened, and therefore Kṛṣṇa, who has always been dependent on My love, is now indifferent. This means that My misfortune is very strong.”
What the purport teaches
- The speaker questions the anger directed toward Kṛṣṇa and instead blames personal misfortune.
- Within this lament, Kṛṣṇa’s apparent indifference is attributed to the ripened fruit of the speaker’s sinful activities.
- Kṛṣṇa has always been dependent on this love. His apparent indifference now makes the speaker’s misfortune seem very strong.
