Translation

Traducción

The sages said: O Supreme Personality of Godhead, we are unable to know what You intend for us to do, for even though You are the supreme ruler of all, You speak in our favor as if we had done something good for You.

Los sabios dijeron: ¡Oh, Suprema Personalidad de Dios! Somos incapaces de saber lo que quieres que hagamos, pues, aunque Tú eres el gobernador supremo de todo, hablas favoreciéndonos, como si hubiésemos hecho algo bueno por Ti.

Significado

The sages could understand that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is above everyone, was speaking as if He were in the wrong; therefore it was difficult for them to understand the words of the Lord. They could understand, however, that the Lord was speaking in such a humble way just to show them His all-merciful favor.

Los sabios se pudieron dar cuenta de que la Suprema Personalidad de Dios, que está por encima de todos, hablaba como si Él tuviera la culpa; por eso era difícil para ellos entender las palabras del Señor. Pudieron entender, con todo, que el Señor hablaba de aquel modo tan humilde solo para mostrales Su completamente misericordiosa gracia.
