Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 12.27
Humbly Acknowledge the Lord’s Free Choice
“I am merely an insignificant jīva, so what power do I have to give directions to You? By Your own personal choice You will meet with the King. I shall see it.
What the purport teaches
- Dāmodara describes himself as merely an insignificant jīva.
- He acknowledges that he has no power to give directions to the Lord.
- He says the Lord will meet the King by His own personal choice. Dāmodara will simply witness it.
