“My dear Lord, Your two lotus feet are like two blossoming lotus petals and the nails of Your lotus feet emanate such a great effulgence that the darkness within the heart of Your devotee immediately becomes dissipated by meditating upon them. For this reason, those who desire to purify their existence must always meditate upon Your lotus feet while engaging in the process of bhakti-yoga. Only by the execution of pure devotional service do You become satisfied. Considering this, who would take to any other process of self-realization if he is actually serious about achieving the perfection of life?”
“Simply by the expansion of his eyebrows, invincible Time can vanquish the entire universe. However, formidable Time does not approach the devotee who has taken complete shelter of Your lotus feet. Even a fraction of a moment’s association with a pure devotee can award blessings that cannot be compared to heavenly elevation or even liberation, and thus I beg Your Lordship to benedict me with such association.”
