ผู้ใดหันกาม โทสะ ความกลัว ความรักปกป้อง ความรู้สึกเป็นหนึ่ง หรือมิตรภาพ ไปสู่พระหริอยู่เสมอ ผู้นั้นย่อมกลายเป็นผู้ซึมซาบอยู่ในพระองค์อย่างแน่นอน
Lord Kṛṣṇa is pure spiritual existence, and those who somehow or other become attached to Him, absorbed in thoughts of Him, rise to the spiritual platform. This is the absolute nature of the Lord’s personal association.
