Nirodha· Winding upPersonally Apply the Spiritual Guidance You Receive
“Draupadī also saw that her husbands, without caring for her, were leaving home. She knew well about Lord Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead. Both she and Subhadrā became absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa and attained the same results as their husbands.”
What the purport teaches
- Spiritual teachers and family members can help during one’s lifetime. At the end of life, each person must personally apply the instructions already received.
- Draupadī did not wait for her husbands to take her along. Already trained, she immediately concentrated upon the lotus feet of Lord Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead.
- Both Draupadī and Subhadrā became absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa and attained the same result as their husbands. They reached Godhead without changing their bodies.
