TRANSLATION

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