Krsna--The Thief! (stealing our sins)

[candramukhidasi]

KRSNA,

I WILL ARREST YOU IN MY HEART. WHERE ARE YOU RUNNING? I'LL BIND YOU O'KRSNA BY THE ROPES OF MY DEVOTION. YOU HAVE STOLEN MY WEALTH, STOLEN MY PRIDE AND NOW NO ONE RESPECTS ME IN THIS SOCIETY. I HAVE NO MONEY LEFT AND YOU ARE EVEN STEALING MY LIFE. SO NOW I WILL NOT LET YOU GO. I WILL CATCH YOU BY THE ROPES OF MY DEVOTION. YOU CAN CUT THE DEADLY ROPES OF YAMARAJA, YOU CAN EVEN CUT THE ROPES OF MATERIAL EXISTENCE FROM PEOPLES LIVES, AND YOU CAN BREAK ALL THE BONDAGES OF EVERYONE BUT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BREAK THE BONDAGE OF MY LOVE FOR YOU. I WILL BIND YOU BY THESE ROPES OF DEVOTION O'KRNSA AND I WILL ARREST YOU AND IMPRISON YOU IN THE DARK DUNGEON OF MY HEART, FOREVER YOU SHOULD STAY IN THIS DUNGEON AS A PUNISHMENT FOR STEALING MY MIND.

I WILL NOT RELEASE YOU AFTER BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF LIFETIMES OF BRAHMA.

I WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU WITHIN MY HEART ARRESTED BY THE HOPES OF MY DEVOTION.

spoken by Bhaktivedanta Vishnu-daivata Maharaja
