Educational Q&A
A mind seized by urgent intent cannot easily accommodate rest or comfort; determination—especially in a crisis—often displaces personal ease, highlighting the tension between purpose and wellbeing.
Kṛpa speaks of pressing urgency to accomplish a planned action; because he is intent on executing it swiftly, he says sleep and comfort are impossible for him at that moment.
