Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 12/12/2011 - 13/12/2011

SB 2.8.4

srnvatah sraddhaya nityam
grnatas ca sva-cestitam
kalena natidirghena
bhagavan visate hrdi

 

srnvatah—of those who hear; sraddhaya—in earnestness; nityam—regularly, always; grnatah—taking the matter; ca—also; sva-cestitam—seriously by one's own endeavor; kalena—duration; na—not; ati-dirghena—very prolonged time; bhagavan—the Personality of Godhead Sri Krsna; visate—becomes manifest; hrdi—within one's heart.

 

Persons who hear Srimad-Bhagavatam regularly and are always taking the matter very seriously will have the Personality of Godhead Sri Krsna manifested in their hearts within a short time.

SB 2.8.5

pravistah karna-randhrena
svanam bhava-saroruham
dhunoti samalam krsnah
salilasya yatha sarat

 

pravistah—thus being entered; karna-randhrena—through the holes of the ears; svanam—according to one's liberated position; bhava—constitutional relationship; sarah-ruham—the lotus flower; dhunoti—cleanses; samalam—material qualities like lust, anger, avarice and hankering; krsnah—Lord Krsna, the Supreme personality of Godhead; salilasya—of the reservoir of waters; yatha—as it were; sarat—the autumn season.

 

The sound incarnation of Lord Krsna, the Supreme Soul [i.e. Srimad-Bhagavatam], enters into the heart of a self-realized devotee, sits on the lotus flower of his loving relationship, and thus cleanses the dust of material association, such as lust, anger and hankering. Thus it acts like autumnal rains upon pools of muddy water.
