FAQs
This verse defines true devotion as steady and non-deviating, rooted in the insight that Hari pervades all beings; devotion becomes constant because its object is present everywhere.
Parāśara links bhakti to realization (jñātvā): once one knows Vishnu as sarvabhūtamaya, devotion is to be practiced toward Him in all creatures, not merely as a private sentiment.
Vishnu is presented as the supreme, all-pervading reality within all beings; therefore, devotion to Vishnu naturally expresses itself as reverence and spiritual regard toward all life.
