Now, my dear Lord, I am completely confused. I have tried to attract You, but I see I have nothing to attract You with. I am a pretender. I want Your kingdom, without You. I am a criminal who has tried to plead innocent, and now I have nowhere to hide, no presentations to make. What am I to do, dear Lord?

Come on, My child, and experience what it is to be fully dear to Me.”

Additional quotes by Bhakti Tirtha Swami
