Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 4.28.38
Mukti· LiberationFix the Mind on Kṛṣṇa
“By worshiping, executing austerities and following the regulative principles, King Malayadhvaja conquered his senses, his life and his consciousness. Thus he fixed everything on the central point of the Supreme Brahman [Kṛṣṇa].”
What the purport teaches
- Through worship, austerities and regulative principles, King Malayadhvaja controlled his senses, life and consciousness.
- The Supreme Brahman is Kṛṣṇa, Vāsudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Here, fixing the mind on Brahman means fixing it on Him.
- Attachment to the unmanifested, impersonal feature makes spiritual advancement very troublesome. Malayadhvaja fixed everything on the personal Supreme Lord.
