Great Sages Affirm Worship’s Highest Benefit

“All the great sages repeatedly declare that such worship brings the greatest benefit possible in human life. This is the opinion of Nārada Muni, the great Vyāsadeva and my own spiritual master, Bṛhaspati.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.27.2, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The great sages repeatedly declare that worship of the Lord brings the greatest benefit possible in human life.
  • Nārada Muni and the great Vyāsadeva both affirm this teaching.
  • Uddhava’s own spiritual master, Bṛhaspati, shares this opinion. Uddhava presents worship as a teaching supported by these spiritual authorities.

Try this today

Take a moment today to reflect on worship as life’s highest benefit, rather than a secondary concern.

Ask yourself

How does the agreement of these great sages affect the value I place on worship?

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.
