4.2 O ultimate, make your presence immediate and intimate
sakal-i sambhava hoy
tumi se kautukī
Your mercy makes everything possible,
You are incredible, unstoppable, magical.
My dear Lord, Srila Prabhupada here articulates his conviction that, for you, everything is possible. You have the power to do not just the things I may consider impossible, but also the things I cannot even conceive—things that lie beyond the reach of my imagination.
O ever-accessible Lord, Srila Prabhupada speaks of the miraculous in a disarming matter-of-fact way. For him, you are not a mere concept or a future possibility to be realized through practice; you are a concrete reality—present with him, and within him, always. He pours out his heart to you as if speaking to his most confidential friend—someone standing right beside him. He refers to you in the second person, just as one does in intimate conversation.
O Lord of all hearts, Srila Prabhupada’s conviction in your reality and potency is infectious; he infuses others with a similar conviction. Just as he embarks alone on a mission across the seven oceans to serve you, so too does he inspire hundreds to dedicate their lives in your service.
My eternal Lord, let my contemplation on Srila Prabhupada’s words and actions propel me to reorient my life around you—not as a distant ideal, but as my immediate and intimate reality, always with me and always for me.
