TEXT 27

śravaṇād darśanād dhyānān
mayi bhāvo 'nukīrtanāt
na tathā sannikarṣeṇa
pratiyāta tato gṛhān

SYNONYMS

śravaṇāt—by hearing (My glories); darśanāt—by viewing (My Deity form in the temple); dhyānāt—by meditation; mayi—for Me; bhāvaḥ—love; anukīrtanāt—by subsequent chanting; na—not; tathā—in the same way; sannikarṣeṇa—by physical proximity; pratiyāta—please return; tataḥ—therefore; gṛhān—to your homes.

TRANSLATION

Transcendental love for Me arises by the devotional processes of hearing about Me, seeing My Deity form, meditating on Me and faithfully chanting My glories. The same result is not achieved by mere physical proximity. So please go back to your homes.

PURPORT

Lord Kṛṣṇa is certainly presenting formidable arguments.
