For me life after life my dear Lord you cry in tears when you are caught by Mother Yashoda just as you demonstrate that everything including tears has a place in your Bhakti my dear Lord let me practice your devotion not just so that you can wipe away the tears that come from my material attachments and the loss of those attachments but let my devotion be enriched by tears tears longing for you tears of separation from you tears that come from remembering your unending mercy of me and tears that come from remembering how little I have reciprocated with your mercy my dear Lord such tears of love which are the prize of pure devotion which are the conclusion of scripture.
