Afterwards I loved Him as a lover and He still deceived me; I was again and much more indignant, but this time I had to pardon. 436—After offending, He forced me to pardon Him not by reparation, but by committing fresh offences. 437—So long as God tried to repair His offences against me, we went on periodically quarrelling; but when He found out His mistake, the quarrelling stopped, for I had to submit to Him entirely. 438—When I saw others than Krishna and myself in the world, I kept secret God's doings with me; but since I began to see Him and myself everywhere, I have become shameless and garrulous.
