Surrender Calls for Careful Judgment
“Why should you want to destroy another’s property? Can’t you consider what is right and wrong?
What the purport teaches
- The Lord asks why Sanātana Gosvāmī would want to destroy another’s property.
- This question follows the Lord’s declaration that Sanātana’s body belongs to Him. Destroying it would disregard that relationship.
- The Lord asks Sanātana to consider what is right and wrong. He directs him to reconsider his intention rather than act on it.
