Dhruva’s Humiliation, Sunīti’s Counsel, and Nārada’s Bhakti-Yoga Instruction
एवं कायेन मनसा वचसा च मनोगतम् । परिचर्यमाणो भगवान् भक्तिमत्परिचर्यया ॥ ५९ ॥ पुंसाममायिनां सम्यग्भजतां भाववर्धन: । श्रेयो दिशत्यभिमतं यद्धर्मादिषु देहिनाम् ॥ ६० ॥
evaṁ kāyena manasā vacasā ca mano-gatam paricaryamāṇo bhagavān bhaktimat-paricaryayā
Aos que, sem falsidade, O adoram corretamente, o Bhagavān, que faz crescer o sentimento devocional, concede aos seres encarnados dharma, artha, kāma ou mokṣa, conforme o que desejem, como verdadeiro bem.
Devotional service is so potent that one who renders devotional service can receive whatever he likes as a benediction from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The conditioned souls are very much attached to the material world, and thus by performing religious rites they want the material benefits known as dharma and artha.
FAQs
This verse teaches that serving the Lord through one’s actions, thoughts, speech, and inner intention is true devotional worship, and such bhakti draws the Lord’s special grace.
Because the Lord responds to sincerity; guileless worshipers who serve Him properly receive both the highest welfare (śreyas) and their rightful desires.
Align daily conduct (body), attention (mind), and speech (words) with devotion—such as honest prayer, mantra, service, and ethical living—so worship becomes wholehearted rather than occasional or performative.
