Receive Daily Care Without Taking It For Granted
“Haridāsa Ṭhākura said, “My dear Advaita Ācārya, let me submit something before Your Honor. Every day You give me alms of food to eat. What is the necessity of this?”
What the purport teaches
- Haridāsa Ṭhākura addressed Advaita Ācārya respectfully before submitting his concern.
- He acknowledged that Advaita Ācārya gave him alms of food every day.
- He asked why this daily provision was necessary, rather than treating it as something owed to him.
