Our Endeavors Depend on His Grace

  • By His grace, the whole world is able to endeavor toward its ideals.
  • These ideals are religiosity, economic development, sense gratification and liberation.

Try this today

Before beginning one task today, pause and thank the Lord for the ability to act.

Ask yourself

Do I recognize the Lord’s grace behind my ability to endeavor?

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.
