Nārāyaṇa’s Impartiality, Absorption in Kṛṣṇa, and the Jaya–Vijaya Descent
Prelude to Prahlāda’s History
कामाद् द्वेषाद्भयात्स्नेहाद्यथा भक्त्येश्वरे मन: । आवेश्य तदघं हित्वा बहवस्तद्गतिं गता: ॥ ३० ॥
kāmād dveṣād bhayāt snehād yathā bhaktyeśvare manaḥ āveśya tad-aghaṁ hitvā bahavas tad-gatiṁ gatāḥ
或由欲爱,或由憎恨,或由恐惧,或由亲情,或由奉爱;只要将心投入主宰并舍弃罪业,许多人便已到达至高归宿。现在我将说明:仅以专注之心系念奎师那,如何便能获得他的慈恩。
As stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.33.39) :
This verse states that when the mind becomes absorbed in the Supreme Lord—whether through devotion or even intense emotions like fear, hatred, lust, or affection—one can become freed from sin and attain the Lord’s destination.
In explaining the power of viṣṇu-smaraṇa (absorption in the Lord), Śukadeva emphasizes that the decisive factor is deep mental fixation on the Supreme; such absorption purifies and can lead to the same ultimate goal, though devotion is the intended and pure path.
Train the mind toward God through daily hearing and chanting (śravaṇa-kīrtana), and redirect strong emotions into remembrance—turn anxiety into prayer, attachment into loving service, and distraction into focused devotional practice.
