Devotees Find Their Shelter in the Lord

“My devotees fix their minds on Me and do not depend upon anything material. They are always peaceful, endowed with equal vision, and free from possessiveness, false ego, duality and greed.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.26.27, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The Lord's devotees fix their minds on Him and do not depend upon anything material.
  • They are always peaceful and endowed with equal vision.
  • They are free from possessiveness, false ego, duality and greed. These qualities describe the devotees whose minds rest on the Lord.

Try this today

When a possessive or greedy thought arises today, pause and turn your attention toward the Lord.

Ask yourself

Which of these qualities shows me an area where my mind needs greater shelter in the Lord?

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.
