Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 11.7.30
Mukti· LiberationKṛṣṇa Is Our Constant Companion
“O brāhmaṇa, we see that you are devoid of any contact with material enjoyment and that you are traveling alone, without any companions or family members. Therefore, because we are sincerely inquiring from you, please tell us the cause of the great ecstasy that you are feeling within yourself.”
What the purport teaches
- Yadu sincerely asked how the brāhmaṇa experienced great inner ecstasy while alone and without material enjoyment.
- Artificially adopting renounced life is very difficult without practical realization of the Supreme Soul and the individual soul within the heart.
- Every living being seeks friendship and someone to love. One who realizes the Supreme Person is satisfied to carry Kṛṣṇa within the heart as one's constant companion and only true friend.

How might remembering Kṛṣṇa within my heart change my experience of being alone?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
