Mukti· LiberationSatisfied in Kṛṣṇa, Happy Everywhere
“One who does not desire anything within this world, who has achieved peace by controlling his senses, whose consciousness is equal in all conditions and whose mind is completely satisfied in Me finds only happiness wherever he goes.”
What the purport teaches
- One who understands material sense gratification as the glare of illusion becomes self-controlled and peaceful. Such a devotee finds satisfaction in the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- A devotee always meditating upon Lord Kṛṣṇa experiences transcendental perceptions in His pastimes. These are gifts of the Lord’s causeless mercy.
- One who has developed Kṛṣṇa consciousness is never separated from happiness, because Lord Kṛṣṇa is all-pervading.
Try this today
Spend a quiet minute meditating on Lord Kṛṣṇa rather than pursuing one unnecessary sense pleasure.
Ask yourself
Where am I seeking satisfaction in sense gratification rather than in Kṛṣṇa?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
