Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 11.29.19

Mukti· Liberation

Engage Your Whole Self in Realization

“Indeed, I consider this process — using one’s mind, words and bodily functions for realizing Me within all living beings — to be the best possible method of spiritual enlightenment.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.29.19, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The Lord teaches one to realize His presence within all living beings.
  • This process engages the mind, words and bodily functions, rather than thought alone.
  • The Lord considers this the best possible method of spiritual enlightenment.

Try this today

In one interaction today, remember the Lord within the other person and let that remembrance guide your words and actions.

Ask yourself

Are my thoughts, words and actions helping me recognize the Lord within others?

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.
