What is PRIDE?

Boasting of 'P'ossessions;

Living in 'R'eluctance;

Greed in 'I'ntentions;

Lost in 'D'esires;

Lust rules 'E'motions;

Dear Çréla Prabhupäda,

 WHILE OFFERING my obeisances unto you, I visualize your lotus feet, so soft and so tenderly pink. I wish I could become a speck of dust and cling onto them forever.
