Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesSeparation Deepens Eagerness to Glorify the Lord
“O sinless Mahārāja Parīkṣit, the order carriers of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Viṣṇudūtas, saw that Ajāmila was attempting to say something, and thus they suddenly disappeared from his presence.”
What the purport teaches
- Ajāmila was freed from all sinful reactions, and his lifetime was extended even though he had been about to die.
- The Viṣṇudūtas made him aware of devotional service so that he could become fit to return home, back to Godhead.
- They disappeared to increase his eagerness to glorify the Supreme Lord. In separation, glorification of the Lord becomes very intense.
