FAQs
This verse states that sustained austerity combined with constant contemplation of Vishnu makes the Lord perpetually pleased, indicating these practices as direct means to divine grace and inner fulfillment.
It presents the goal as abiding in 'pūrṇānanda' (complete bliss), implying that when one rests in that fulfilled state through devotion and remembrance, no additional external happiness remains to be sought.
Maintain a steady daily discipline (tapas) and consistent remembrance/meditation on the Divine; measure progress by increasing inner clarity and contentment rather than by external gains.
