Educational Q&A
Exclusive devotion (ananyabhakti), sincerity, and self-mastery (jitātmā) are presented as the qualities that please the Lord; divine favor is shown as responding to inner discipline and single-pointed dedication rather than mere external acts.
Bhīṣma describes how the Lord Nārāyaṇa (Hari) becomes satisfied with a particular devotee because that person is unwaveringly devoted, morally sincere, and has conquered the mind—thereby setting up the idea that divine grace follows steadfast bhakti and self-control.
