至上主说道：“亲爱的优陀婆，领受我的命令，前往我名为巴达利迦的道场。在那里，以从我莲足流出的圣水，既触之又沐浴，使自身清净。只要瞻仰圣河阿拉迦难陀，一切罪垢皆得涤除。披树皮衣，食林中自然所得；知足无欲。忍受诸对待，性情和善，调伏诸根，安宁寂静，以专注之心具足灵性知识与证悟。恒常观修我所授之教诲精髓，使言语与心念安住于我，勤修我的法与德行。如此便能超越三种古那的归趣，最终回归于我。”
FAQs
It says that by contemplating Kṛṣṇa’s teachings in solitude, keeping one’s speech and mind absorbed in Him, and living by His dharma, one transcends material destinations and attains Him directly.
Kṛṣṇa is giving Uddhava final guidance as He prepares to conclude His manifest pastimes, instructing him in the inner practice of bhakti—deep reflection, absorption, and steadfast devotional conduct—leading to the Lord’s abode.
Center your daily speech in sādhana—chanting, prayer, and truthful, devotional conversation—and train the mind through regular study of Bhagavatam, remembrance of Kṛṣṇa, and minimizing distractions, so your attention naturally returns to Him.
