Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesListen Attentively to the Supreme Lord
“After the sages were comfortably seated, the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa, whose transcendental body protects religious principles, addressed them in the midst of that great assembly. Everyone listened silently with rapt attention.”
What the purport teaches
- The sages were comfortably seated before Lord Kṛṣṇa addressed them.
- Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Lord, whose transcendental body protects religious principles.
- Everyone in the great assembly listened silently with rapt attention. Their attention was directed toward the Lord’s words.
Try this today
Set aside distractions and read the Lord’s words silently for two minutes.
Ask yourself
What distracts me when I try to listen to the Lord’s teachings?
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.
