Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 'Tis with our judgments as our watches, none Go just alike, yet each believes his own. -- Alexander Pope, "An Essay on Criticism" . . . [T]he supreme will is the ultimate judgment; no one can argue upon this. A pure devotee therefore submits in all circumstances to the supreme will of the Lord, accepting it as all-auspicious. -- Srila Prabhupada, "Srimad-Bhagavatam", 4.6.45, purport. Still, that same Supreme Lord submits to and believes the judgment of His pure devotee: The Personality of Godhead said: You [uddhava] are indeed Our best eye and closest friend, for you know perfectly the relative value of various kinds of counsel. Therefore please tell Us what should be done in this situation. We trust your judgment and shall do as you say. -- Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.70.46. (Sri Krishna asks Uddhava for his opinion concerning Narada's proposal that He go to Hastinapura for Maharaja Yudhisthira's great Rajasuya sacrifice.)
