Ūti· What drives us to act

Sinfulness Brings Its Own Consequences

“Fortunately, because of his own sins, the sinful Kaṁsa has been killed, along with all his brothers. He always hated the saintly and righteous Yadus.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.46.17, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Nanda regarded the death of sinful Kaṁsa and his brothers as fortunate.
  • He described Kaṁsa’s death as a consequence of Kaṁsa’s own sins.
  • Kaṁsa had always hated the Yadus, who were saintly and righteous.

Try this today

Notice one resentful thought today and choose not to express it through words or actions.

Ask yourself

Am I allowing resentment toward righteous people to influence my conduct?

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.
