How much time is wasted in hearing gossips and rumours, and how little do we listen to our Scriptures?

A Sadhak must be in constant vigil to observe his mind and move ahead in the right direction. The path of a seeker is truly slippery and only with the guidance and blessings from the Guru one can attain the Lord. So, Prithu placed his wish for this single focused devotion for the Lord and became blessed.

So, instead of praying for perishable things, we must try to develop a positive mind strengthened by true devotion as it will safeguard our life in all situations alike.

Remember, true courage stems from deep-rooted devotion for the Lord only. When we surrender all our efforts(Karma) at His Lotus Feet, we become free from the bondage of Karma too. That is true liberation!

(Bhagavatham 4.20.1 – 4.20.38)
