The child of Nanda.

It is no use enjoying pleasure after pleasure and possessing immense wealth nor is it any use becoming a great ascetic besmearing the body with ashes.

It is little use surrounding oneself with fires on all sides and sitting under the sun in summer, or acquiring the power of floating in water, or extending one’s dominion across the seas.

You may repeat sacred mantras endlessly, practice austerities and exercise control over body and mind, observe fasts for any number of days, undertake pilgrimage to a thousand sacred places; butwho cares for all these?

He is really an unfortunate who loves not, nor enjoys the blessed company of the beloved child of Nanda.

All of this is of no use, says Rasakhan, if you have not been able to love the yellow robed Sri Krsna by offering Him the heart!
