Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 28/01/2014 - 30/01/2014

SB 1.2.5

munayah sadhu prsto ’ham
bhavadbhir loka-mangalam
yat krtah krsna-samprasno
yenatma suprasidati

 

munayah—O sages; sadhu—this is relevant; prstah—questioned; aham—myself; bhavadbhih—by all of you; loka—the world; mangalam—welfare; yat—because; krtah—made; krsna—the Personality of Godhead; samprasnah—relevant question; yena—by which; atma—self; suprasidati—completely pleased.

 

O sages, I have been justly questioned by you. Your questions are worthy because they relate to Lord Krsna and so are of relevance to the world’s welfare. Only questions of this sort are capable of completely satisfying the self.

SB 1.2.6
sa vai pumsam paro dharmo
yato bhaktir adhoksaje
ahaituky apratihata
yayatma suprasidati

 

sah—that; vai—certainly; pumsam—for mankind; parah—sublime; dharmah—occupation; yatah—by which; bhaktih—devotional service; adhoksaje—unto the Transcendence; ahaituki—causeless; apratihata—unbroken; yaya—by which; atma—the self; suprasidati—completely satisfied.

 

The supreme occupation [dharma] for all humanity is that by which men can attain to loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord. Such devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted to completely satisfy the self.
