# Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 2 Text 66 – August 6, 2023

**Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 2 Text 66
**

*
bhaktir dūre ’stu tasmin me
nāparādhā bhavanti cet
bahu manye tad ātmānaṁ
nāham āgaḥsu rudra-vat
*

TRANSLATION
Forget about my having any devotion for Him. I would be happy if only it were true that I never offend Him. I cannot expect Him to tolerate my offenses as He does Lord Śiva’s.
