Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionA Mind Fixed on the Lord
“You are the original ṛṣi, and because your mind is always fixed on Me, even though you will be engaged in generating various progeny the vicious mode of passion will never encroach upon you.”
What the purport teaches
- Because Brahmā’s mind is fixed on the Lord, the mode of passion will not encroach upon him while he generates progeny.
- Favored by the Lord, Brahmā’s schemes and plans are infallible.
- When pure devotees such as Brahmā and Arjuna appear bewildered, that bewilderment is meant for further advancement in knowledge of the Lord and transcendental service.
