Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 10.58.22

Pure Love Gives Steady Determination

“I am known as Kālindī, and I live in a mansion my father built for me within the water of the Yamunā. There I will stay until I meet Lord Acyuta.”
Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.58.22, translation

What the purport teaches

Kālindī lived in a mansion her father built within the Yamunā. She intended to remain there until she met Lord Acyuta.
Unlike the so-called love of worldly love affairs, her love for Lord Kṛṣṇa was pure and perfect.
Though a tender young girl, she was firmly determined to marry Kṛṣṇa. She arranged to perform severe austerities until her beloved came.

How can Kālindī’s determination encourage steadiness in my devotional service?
