Hankering after the lotus feet of the Lord.
(1.11.25-26) The inhabitants of Dvārakā were regularly accustomed to look upon Lord Kṛṣṇa, yet they were never satiated. His lotus feet are the refuge of pure devotees who never talk or sing of any subject except His Lordship.
Śrīla Prabhupāda comments:
• The law of satiation…
“Anything material seen for a number of times ultimately becomes unattractive by the law of satiation. The law of satiation acts materially, but there is no scope for it in the spiritual realm.”
• Bird songs…
“What they call beautiful nature is but His smile, and what they call the sweet songs of the birds are but specimens of the whispering voice of the Lord.”
• People’s acute distress…
“A faithful servant of the Lord engaged in the service of administration is the ideal executive head and can well protect the interest of the people in general. Other so-called administrators are symbols of anachronisms leading to the acute distress of the people who are governed by them.”
• Lotus honey…
“The pure devotees are always hankering after the lotus feet of the Lord. The lotus has a kind of honey which is transcendentally relished by the devotees. They are like the bees who are always after the honey…. The devotees are satisfied with being placed at the lotus feet of the Lord…. and the Lord is always leaning towards such humble devotees.”
