Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionRemembering the Lord Removes Contamination
“In the Kali-yuga, objects, places and even individual personalities are all polluted. The almighty Personality of Godhead, however, can remove all such contamination from the life of one who fixes the Lord within his mind.”
What the purport teaches
- In Kali-yuga, contamination affects objects, places and individual personalities.
- The almighty Personality of Godhead can remove all such contamination from a person's life.
- The verse directs us to fix the Lord within the mind. Its assurance rests on the Lord's power to purify.
Try this today
Sit quietly for one minute and bring your attention back to the Supreme Personality of Godhead whenever it wanders.
Ask yourself
When I notice contamination around or within me, do I turn my mind toward the Lord?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
