The Lord Shows No Aversion
“My dear Sir, You do not have even a pinch of aversion to touching my body, which is in a horrible condition. Because of this offense, everything auspicious will be vanquished for me.
What the purport teaches
- Sanātana Gosvāmī observed that the Lord had not even a pinch of aversion to touching him.
- He described his own body as being in a horrible condition.
- Sanātana feared that what he considered an offense would destroy everything auspicious for him. His fear stands beside the Lord’s complete lack of aversion.
