Remember the Supreme Lord Within the Heart

“Anyone who rises early in the morning and, with a purified mind fixed upon the Mahāpuruṣa, quietly chants this description of His characteristics will realize Him as the Supreme Absolute Truth residing within the heart.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.11.26, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Rise early in the morning with a purified mind fixed upon the Mahāpuruṣa.
  • Quietly chant this description of His characteristics, keeping the mind absorbed in Him.
  • Through this practice, one will realize Him as the Supreme Absolute Truth residing within the heart.

Try this today

Quietly read aloud this description of the Lord today, keeping your mind fixed upon Him.

Ask yourself

How can I give quiet, focused attention to the Lord in the morning?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
