O sober one.
O sober one, others, such as Hṛdīka, Cārudeṣṇa, Gada and the son of Satyabhāmā, who accept Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa as the soul of the self and thus follow His path without deviation — are they well?
Gauḍīya Ācāryas
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
How are others such as Hṛdīka, the son of Satyabhāmā, Cārudeṣṇa and Gada, completely dedicated to Kṛṣṇa with all their senses, whose very soul was Kṛṣṇa? Nijātma-daivam means that they accepted Kṛṣṇa (daivam) as the form of their good fortune. They completely followed Kṛṣṇa (samanuvratā).

Personal Guidance
True followers of Krsna treat Him as the very soul of their self and walk without deviation. Devotion is not a hobby alongside life; it is the spine running through it.
Reflection Questions
  • What would 'without deviation' look like for one decision you are about to make?
  • Whose spine is currently structuring your life: Krsna, fear, ambition, or someone else?
