Badau Mand Aravind Sut, Jihi Na Prem Pahichan.
Piya Mukh Dekhat Drigan Ke, Palak Lage Bich Ana.

The creator, the lotus-born Brahmā, is certainly deserving of ridicule due to His complete ignorance of the essence of divine love, for He has created the obstruction of eyelids to interrupt our vision. When loving eyes drink the sweetness of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s lotus face, the blinking of the eyelids feels like a vast separation. For the rasikas, even that fleeting moment of a blink is as unbearable and difficult to endure as countless eons.
