They obeyed him and constantly meditated on the Lotus Feet of the Lord and merged with Him.

Sage Maithreya thus concluded the story of Prachethas to Vidura.

Getting permission from Sage Maithreya, Vidura happily left for his home town Hasthinapura.

With this we are reaching the end of the fourth canto of Srimad Bhagavatham.

Note – a human life starts with a materialistic dimension, but ends in a spiritual dimension. The story of Prachethas is no exception to this age old tradition practised by our elders.

Upon death, our body returns to its source ‘Mother Nature’ without any effort from our side.  But our mind can not return to its source, Consciousness as it is. All spiritual practices are aiming at the purification of mind so that it merges with Consciousness.

Prachethas led a fruitful life and ultimately unites their mind with the Lord.

(Bhagavatham 4.31.21 – 4.31.31)
