Accept Care Instead of Persisting
“The Lord is persisting, and if you also persist, His persistence will increase. It is better for you to bathe and take prasādam. In due course, His anger will automatically subside.”
What the purport teaches
- Haridāsa was warned that his own persistence would increase the Lord’s persistence.
- The devotees advised him to bathe and take prasādam. They offered simple, practical care.
- They assured him that the Lord’s anger would subside in due course. Their advice was to stop persisting and allow time.
Try this today

When I am distressed, can I accept simple care rather than stubbornly persist?
