TRANSLATION
“I say, ‘My dear friends, you are asking Me to be patient, saying that Krṣṇa is an ocean of mercy and that some time in the future He will accept Me. However, I must say that this will not console Me. A living entity’s life is very flickering. It is like water on the leaf of a lotus flower. Who will live long enough to expect Krṣṇa’s mercy?
