What is impossible to do, and what is impossible to give up, for devotees who have achieved the Supreme Lord, the master of the pure devotees? What mercy is impossible for them to give, and what offense is impossible for them to overlook? Just as others take wealth, they take the Lord. But the Lord, after being taken, steals their hearts.
