ABUNDANT JOY OF SENTIMENTS
:41: WHAT IS SUPERIOR ? BHAGWAN'S LOVE OR DEVOTION OF A DEVOTEE ?
Oh Lord of the world! You are so much near me that whenever, wherever I want to cry aloud for you, I can do that. I can talk with you, opening my heart. But now I need to go away from you. For a short time, we get separated from eachother After a separation from you, there will be immense joy in our meeting If you get separated, I shall be able to create my thirst, eageness, an intensive desire to meet you. Your love towards me and my devotion towards you, let both these compete. Who wins from these two that I want to see, know and witness. But when you get separated from me, instantly the weakness of your love will become public. After your separation with me, I shall be able to cry aloud for you, putting aside all shyness- shame. More than your love, my devotion will be proved superior. When you get separtated what would happen to your title 'lord of the world', spread all over ? And even if you do not get separated from me, then also it will be proved that you are bound by my deep devotion, you are held so tightly that you just can not get separated. Even then, my devotion will win. Your love will be proved dwarfish
