Deepening Understanding · Teaching and Glory Together

भवाप्ययौ हि भूतानां श्रुतौ विस्तरशो मया । त्वत्तः कमलपत्राक्ष माहात्म्यमपि चाव्ययम् ॥

bhavāpyayau hi bhūtānāṁ śrutau vistaraśo mayā, tvattaḥ kamalapatrākṣa māhātmyam api cāvyayam.

Meaning

"O lotus-eyed one, I have heard in detail from You of the arising and passing away of beings, and also of Your imperishable glory."

Explanation

Understanding grows richer when both the practical teaching and the deeper glory behind it are heard together.

Today's Life Lesson
