4.7.12

Bhagavatham says, even though Daksha was emotional due to the overflow of love, his Budhi had become pure and hence he could calm his mind. Then very innocently he started praising the glory of the Lord, who was standing before him.

Note – this part needs very careful analysis and understanding. This shows the typical recovery of a human being from his sins and the subsequent guilt. Only through compassion or deep love we can ever transform a mind to higher values. When we recognize our fault, we become so indebted to the one who saves us that we get choked with love and gratitude. As the impurities have disappeared, our Budhi will shine and thus clarity dawns in the mind. Only then it becomes peaceful. Remember, only a peaceful mind can become innocent and free from ego and sing the glory of the Lord with deep devotion.

You would have fallen and sank deep into the miseries of your own weakness, but remember, wherever you are, your Guru will uplift you undoubtedly.

Bhagavatham has shown us how a most arrogant mind has become an innocent mind through this story. Tomorrow we will see “DakshaSthuthi”.
