Beyond dualities and doubts. Minds are engaged within. Busy in welfare work for all. Free from all the sins, anger & material desires. Self realized, self disciplined & constantly endeavoring for perfection. “Just try to worship, in devotional service, Väsudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Even great sages are not able to control the forces of the senses as effectively as those who are engaged in transcendental bliss by serving the lotus feet of the Lord, uprooting the deep-grown desire for fruitive activities.” “By vision, by meditation and by touch only do the fish, the tortoise and the birds maintain their offspring. Similarly do I also, O Padmaja!”
