Ao ver o conjunto de todas as coisas como adequado ao meu entendimento em crescimento, reconheço que tudo isso é, de fato, uma pratima, uma manifestação de Hari. Pensando assim, ó Deus dos deuses, adorarei sempre as formas de Hari que ali permanecem (em todas as coisas).

By cultivating the vision of Hari present everywhere, the devotee aligns mind and conduct with dharma; such God-centered awareness is presented as a supportive inner discipline amid teachings on karma and post-death consequences.
Practice reverence in daily actions—treat people and resources as sacred, reduce harm, and offer work, speech, and conduct as service to Hari, making devotion continuous rather than occasional.
