Humbly Examining Love for the Lord
“My dear Lord, I do not possess even a trace of love for Your lotus feet. If I did, how could I have gone to another country? I am therefore a most sinful man.
What the purport teaches
- Svarūpa said he did not possess even a trace of love for the Lord’s lotus feet.
- He questioned how he could have gone to another country if he truly had that love.
- He therefore described himself as a most sinful man, expressing deep remorse over leaving.
