Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 10.73.15

Mukti· Liberation

Constant Remembrance Is a Sign of Love

“Please tell us how we may constantly remember Your lotus feet, though we continue in the cycle of birth and death in this world.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.73.15, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The kings asked how they could constantly remember Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet, even while continuing through birth and death. They sought more than liberation alone.
  • Constant remembrance of the Lord is possible only by His mercy. Through constant engagement in devotional service, the Lord becomes easy to obtain.
  • Such remembrance is a symptom of love. Love of Godhead is the actual goal of life.

Try this today

Pray for Kṛṣṇa’s mercy to remember Him, then spend one quiet minute remembering His lotus feet.

Ask yourself

How would your prayer change if remembering Kṛṣṇa mattered more than escaping difficulty?

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.
