Hari’s Special Mercy, Śiva’s Quick Boons, and the Deliverance from Vṛkāsura
स यदा वितथोद्योगो निर्विण्ण: स्याद् धनेहया । मत्परै: कृतमैत्रस्य करिष्ये मदनुग्रहम् ॥ ९ ॥
sa yadā vitathodyogo nirviṇṇaḥ syād dhanehayā mat-paraiḥ kṛta-maitrasya kariṣye mad-anugraham
Khi người ấy thất vọng vì những nỗ lực kiếm tiền và chán ngán lòng ham của, rồi kết bạn với các tín đồ của Ta, Ta sẽ ban cho người ấy ân sủng đặc biệt của Ta.
This verse says that when one becomes weary and disillusioned with the chase for wealth—after seeing its futility—Krishna’s mercy becomes accessible, especially when one associates with His devotees.
Because close association and friendship with devotees reshapes one’s desires and values; it becomes the doorway through which Krishna’s grace naturally manifests when material ambition loses its hold.
Reduce obsessive wealth-centered goals, cultivate regular association with sincere devotees (satsanga), and let that company guide your daily choices toward devotion—then spiritual clarity and Krishna’s help arise.
