Mukti· LiberationA Life Made Worthwhile by Obeisances
“Today all my sinful reactions have been eradicated and my birth has become worthwhile, since I will offer my obeisances to the Supreme Lord’s lotus feet, which mystic yogīs meditate upon.”
What the purport teaches
- Akrūra felt that all his sinful reactions had been eradicated that day.
- He considered his birth worthwhile because he would offer obeisances to the Supreme Lord’s lotus feet.
- Those same lotus feet are the object of the mystic yogīs’ meditation.
Try this today
Offer one deliberate, respectful bow to the Supreme Lord today, remembering His lotus feet.
Ask yourself
What does Akrūra’s hope teach you about what makes life worthwhile?
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.
