Humility Joined With Parental Affection
“I always think of Myself as deserving no respect, but because of affection I always consider you to be like My little children.
What the purport teaches
- The Lord says that He always considers Himself deserving of no respect.
- At the same time, His affection leads Him to regard Haridāsa and Sanātana as His little children.
- His parental care is expressed alongside humility, not a demand for honor.
