Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 23.20

Love for Kṛṣṇa Brings Steadiness

“If love for Kṛṣṇa in a seedling state has fructified in one’s heart, one is not agitated by material things.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 23.20, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Love for Kṛṣṇa begins in a seedling state within the heart.
  • When that love fructifies, it affects how one responds to material things.
  • One whose love has fructified is not agitated by material things.

How do material things affect the steadiness of your heart?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
