FAQs
This verse says that for sādhus and great souls, nothing is truly difficult when they have Lord Hari held within their hearts—bhakti empowers both achievement and renunciation.
In this chapter’s context, Śukadeva highlights that the Lord becomes “captured” by His devotees; therefore devotees like Ambarīṣa are protected and spiritually powerful, even when challenged by great mystics.
Cultivate steady devotion—regular nāma-japa, hearing Bhāgavatam, and serving devotees—so the mind becomes anchored in Hari; then letting go of harmful habits and facing hardships becomes far easier.
