Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 29/06/2010 - 30/06/2010

SB 6.1.10

kvacin nivartate 'bhadrat
kvacic carati tat punah
prayascittam atho 'partham|
manye kuñjara-saucavat


Sometimes one who is very alert so as not to commit sinful acts is victimized by sinful life again. I therefore consider this process of repeated sinning and atoning to be useless. It is like the bathing of an elephant, for an elephant cleanses itself by taking a full bath, but then throws dust over its head and body as soon as it returns to the land.

Pariksit Maharaja
