Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 04/04/2011 - 07/04/2011

SB 11.14.18

badhyamano 'pi mad-bhakto
visayair ajitendriyah

prayah pragalbhaya bhaktya

visayair nabhibhuyate

 

My dear Uddhava, if My devotee has not fully conquered his senses, he may be harassed by material desires, but because of his unflinching devotion for Me, he will not be defeated by sense gratification.

Lord Krsna

 

SB 11.14.19

yathagnih su-samrddharcih

karoty edhamsi bhasmasat

tatha mad-visaya bhaktir

uddhavainamsi krtsnasah

 

My dear Uddhava, just as a blazing fire turns firewood into ashes, similarly, devotion unto Me completely burns to ashes sins committed by My devotees.

Lord Krsna

 

SB 11.14.20

na sadhayati mam yogo

na sankhyam dharma uddhava

na svadhyayas tapas tyago

yatha bhaktir mamorjita


My dear Uddhava, the unalloyed devotional service rendered to Me by My devotees brings Me under their control. I cannot be thus controlled by those engaged in mystic yoga, Sankhya philosophy, pious work, Vedic study, austerity or renunciation.

Lord Krsna
