Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionFaithful Service Frees Us from Fear
“Now please tell us, Your maidservants, what we should do. Certainly anyone who faithfully executes Your order is automatically freed from all fear.”
What the purport teaches
- Kāliya’s wives identify themselves as the Lord’s maidservants and ask Him what they should do.
- Anyone who faithfully carries out the Lord’s order is automatically freed from all fear.
- Their surrender is now complete. The purport explains that Lord Kṛṣṇa immediately gives them His mercy.
Try this today
Offer a short prayer of readiness to serve, then faithfully act on one instruction of the Lord you already know.
Ask yourself
Am I willing to ask what the Lord wants me to do, rather than only asking for relief?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
From Canto 10, chapter 14 onward, the translation and purports were completed by Śrīla Prabhupāda's disciples after his departure, and published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
