Shukra's eye was destroyed because he stood in the way. One who obstructs is made blind. If God wills it, what is impossible? Why then do you exhaust yourself in vain, trying to stay separate? The sages' wives disobeyed their husbands and carried food to Krishna. God accomplished all their work and preserved both duty and honor. Prahlada turned against his own father, and the demon was slain. Though many obstacles were placed in the way, the devotee did not abandon his resolve. The gopis committed vyabhichar, abandoning all propriety. Yet what they received, no one else has ever received: He became the inner-and-outer of their very existence, nothing held back. Practice that which brings you nearer to God; shun the action that separates you from Him. Says Tuka, He knows the anguish of longing within you. That is why even Ajamela was saved.

Shukra's eye was put out because he stood in the way; the one who obstructs is made blind. If God wills a thing, what cannot be done? Why do you wear yourself out in vain trying to stay separate? The sages' wives disobeyed their husbands and carried food to Krishna; God did all their work and kept their duty and their honor safe. Prahlada turned against his own father, and the demon was killed; many obstacles were thrown in his path, but he did not let go of his resolve. The gopis broke with all propriety to be with God; yet what they received, no one else has ever received: He became their inner and outer being, holding nothing back. Do whatever brings you near to God; shun the act that takes you from Him. Tuka says: He knows the anguish of your longing. That is why even Ajamela was saved.
