Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 14/08/2013

SB 11.2.42

bhaktih paresanubhavo viraktir
anyatra caisa trika eka-kalah
prapadyamanasya yathasnatah syus
tustih pustih ksud-apayo 'nu-ghasam

 

bhaktih—devotion; para-isa—of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; anubhavah—direct perception; viraktih—detachment; anyatra—from everything else; ca—and; esah—this; trikah—group of three; eka-kalah—simultaneously; prapadyamanasya—for one in the process of taking shelter of the Supreme Lord; yatha—in the same way as; asnatah—for one engaged in eating; syuh—they occur; tustih—satisfaction; pustih—nourishment; ksut-apayah—eradication of hunger; anu-ghasam—increasingly with each morsel.

 

Devotion, direct experience of the Supreme Lord, and detachment from other things—these three occur simultaneously for one who has taken shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, in the same way that pleasure, nourishment and relief from hunger come simultaneously and increasingly, with each bite, for a person engaged in eating.

Sri Kavi
