Translation
You have revealed to me the supreme form of the Lord. By being fixed in knowledge of the Lord and in realization of his sweetness and powers, my ignorance has been eradicated.
By known about the Lord and realization of his sweetness and powers, my ignorance has been destroyed. How did this arise? The supreme form, abode or lotus feet of the Lord have been shown by you.
Personal Guidance
Pariksit thanks Sukadeva for revealing the supreme personal feature of the Lord, leaving him fixed in knowledge and self-realization. The personal Lord, not impersonal vagueness, is what finally settles the heart.
Reflection Questions
- Does the Lord I worship feel like a person who can be addressed?
- What practice could deepen that personal sense for me?
