The Activities of Sāksi-ronāla
1155
eta jāni’ tumi sākṣī deha, dayā-maya jāni’ sākṣī nāhi deva tāra nāna hava
SEVNONVMS
eta jāni' —knowing this;  tumi —You;  sākṣī —witness;  deha —please give;  dayāmaya —O most merciful;  jāni' —knowing;  sākṣī —witness;  nāhi deya —does not give;  tāra —for him;  pāpa —sin;  haya —there is.
TRANSLATION
The young brāhmaṇa continued: “My dear sir, You are very merciful and You know everything. Therefore, kindly be a witness in this case. A person who knows things as they are and still does not bear witness becomes involved in sinful activities.”
PURPORT
The dealings between a devotee and the Lord are very simple. The young  brāhmaṇa  said to the Lord, "You know everything, but if You do not bear witness, You will be involved in sinful activities." There is no possibility, however, of the Lord's being involved in sinful activities. A pure devotee, even though he knows everything of the Supreme Lord, can speak with the Lord exactly as if He were a common man. Although the dealings between the Lord and His devotee are always very simple and open, there is formality. All these things happen because of the connection between the Lord and the devotee.
