Continuing my Krishna verses:
प्रबुद्धोऽहं प्रसुप्तो वा स्वप्नोऽयं सत्यमेव वा ।
न च किञ्चिद्विजानामि समीपं तिष्ठ मे हरे ।।५३३।।
Am I awake or asleep? Is this a dream or reality? I don’t know anything. O Lord, stay near me.
स्वप्नो वा सत्यमेतद्वा को भेदो मम केशव ।
जागर्ति यदि मे चित्ते सर्वदा मधुसूदन: ।।५३४।।
O Lord, what difference does it make to me if it is a dream or reality, if the Lord is always awake in my heart?
