Having been embraced by the all-famous Lord Krishna, I will humbly stand before Him with bowed head and joined palms, and He will address me, "My dear Akrura." At that very moment my life's purpose will be fulfilled. Indeed, the life of anyone whom the Supreme Personality fails to recognize is simply pitiable.
