Turning to Kṛṣṇa for Directions
“My dear Kṛṣṇa, only You and I know the strength of Your beautiful features and, because of them, My unsteadiness. Now, this is My position; I do not know what to do or where to go. Where can I find You? I am asking You to give directions.”
What the purport teaches
- The prayer describes the strength of Kṛṣṇa’s beautiful features and the unsteadiness they cause.
- Only Kṛṣṇa and the speaker know this attraction and its effect.
- Not knowing what to do or where to go, the speaker asks Kṛṣṇa where He can be found and requests directions.
