And fix our thoughts on Him; thus the best of men have told us. Why should we hide ourselves from God? “If He will not meet us, He is welcome not to meet us. Let him enjoy his life of bliss in Vaikuntha; he is welcome to keep us moving from land to land. If God has filled His heart with pride, there let him dwell by himself. As long as we grasp his name in our minds, we shall live happily here; we shall sing joyfully songs about Govinda. Tuka says, This is God’s way of letting things go astray; see, we rock ourselves to and fro with joy.
