Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Hearing these words spoken by Lord Kṛṣṇa, and having thus been shown the entire path of yoga, Uddhava folded his hands to offer obeisances. But his throat choked up with love and his eyes overflowed with tears; so he could say nothing.

Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Hearing these words spoken by Kṛṣṇa, and having thus been shown the entire path of yoga, Uddhava folded his hands, but his throat choked up with love and his eyes overflowed with tears. Thus he could say nothing.
Personal Guidance
Hearing this, Uddhava folded hands to bow but his throat choked with love and tears overflowed; he could say nothing. Love produces speechlessness.
Reflection Questions
- When was I last moved into speechless love by teaching?
- What conditions support such moments?
