Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionNever Abandon the Lord’s Lotus Feet
“What person who knows this truth would ever abandon Your lotus feet, when You are ready to give Your very self to peaceful sages who call nothing their own?”
What the purport teaches
- The Lord is ready to give His very self to peaceful sages who call nothing their own.
- These sages’ peacefulness and freedom from possessiveness accompany their relationship with Him.
- Bahulāśva asks who, knowing this truth, would ever abandon the Lord’s lotus feet.
Try this today
Notice one thought of “this is mine” today, then pause and remember the Lord’s lotus feet.
Ask yourself
How can remembering the Lord’s generosity help me loosen my sense of ownership?
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.
