O Lord suddenly You came,
and suddenly You left.

In the midst of the deep, dark night
You came and smilingly said:

"I am now too busy, I must go, go, go.
Many are there,
who want many things
and at least something
I must give them;

In giving and taking
I remain thus engaged.

So I have no time, no time, no time!

In many corners of the world,
many are there who ask for me secretly.
To them also I must go.
Where will I find the time, where, O where?

And there are those who ask for all.
And there are those who ask for nothing.

And they are the ones
who, by wanting Me, want all.
To their hearts' call
I must respond.
They are the ones who love the most."

Purport:
You appeared before me suddenly in the night and said smilingly, "I am very busy with so many activities and thus I cannot stay with you. I must go, I must go, I must go !" What is this? You said, "Everybody in this world wants something from Me, but it is not possible to grant everything they ask for. And you know, some of these demands are logical and justifiable, some are not. Even so, I am to satisfy them, at least giving something if not fully quenching their thirst, at least partially, I must quench their thirst. And with these matters, I remain engaged. "There are many people who say, 'O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), You are mine, so You should meet me secretly, confidentially in my heart. I want personal contact with You' I am to go to them also, and this requires some time too. So there is shortage of time, there is paucity of time. "There are also some very intelligent people who say, 'O Paramapurus'a, I don't what anything from You, I want You! Those who say this actually want everything because they want Me! They are the most clever and intelligent sa'dhakas (spiritual aspirants), so I am to respond to their call also. I am to fulfill their demands and their desires. In fact, it is these people whom I like the most, "So you sa'dhakas, I have a great deal of work to do. I have come for only a short while, and so it is difficult for me to remain long with you. I must go; I must go, I must go."
