Ūti· What drives us to act

Strength Turned Against the Lord’s Dwelling

“Once Dvivida tore up a number of mountains and used them to devastate all the neighboring kingdoms, especially the province of Ānarta, wherein dwelt his friend’s killer, Lord Hari.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.67.4, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Dvivida tore up a number of mountains. He used them to devastate neighboring kingdoms.
  • He especially attacked the province of Ānarta.
  • Lord Hari, the killer of Dvivida’s friend, dwelt there. Dvivida directed his destruction especially toward that place.

Try this today

Use your strength today for one helpful task rather than acting on irritation.

Ask yourself

Am I using my strength constructively, or letting resentment direct it?

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.
