In plain words
So that sprouts of Prema may grow in deserts empty of Prema, so that, in the fervour of Prema... the nectar-rain of Prema may pour down, so that rivers of Prema may flow, will You not play the song of the flute, O Kṛṣṇa! Joined with all the mountains and forests, with the oceans and the hosts of creatures, so that joy may spread... so that Prakṛti, the noble lady, lost in rapture, may dance close beside You, will You not play the song of the flute, O Kṛṣṇa!
Have you friends? Have you become a friend? What is the fruit of friendship, what joy have you known in it? Did he change you? Or did you change him? If neither changes the other, what is the meaning of what we call friendship?
Today in the world, friendship is most necessary, to share and to enjoy the principle by which we enjoy one another, the truth we receive from one another, and the everyday life we have to live through. But we see conduct in which the marks of today's friends stand wholly opposed to the meaning that befits sacred friendship. Yet friendship is something supremely sacred. When we establish the principle of such sacred friendship in our life, not only does life itself attain its fulfilment; it sets about reshaping the world as well. The friendship of today: ask a man who has money for a loan, and that friendship falls away. Give money to a man who has none, and his friendship breaks off completely. So a friendship formed through such fleeting wealth, or through a few things, or through a few kinds of words, can never be the right one.
