Āśraya· The supreme shelterThe Lord Is Satisfied Within Himself
“We care nothing for wives, children and wealth. Always satisfied within Ourselves, We do not work for body and home, but like a light, We merely witness.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa declares that He does not hanker for wives, children or wealth.
- He describes Himself as always satisfied within Himself, without needing to work for body and home.
- He compares Himself to a light that merely witnesses.
Try this today
Spend a quiet minute reflecting on Kṛṣṇa as satisfied within Himself, rather than dependent on material gain.
Ask yourself
How does Kṛṣṇa’s self-satisfaction differ from my dependence on possessions and circumstances?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
