My dear devotee, unto those who rise from bed at the end of night and offer Me the prayers offered by you, I give an eternal residence in the spiritual world at the end of their lives.

Translation
O King! I give an eternal residence in the spiritual world at the end of their lives to persons who rise from bed at the end of night and offer me the prayers offered by you.
Personal Guidance
Those who rise early and chant Gajendra's prayers receive eternal residence in the spiritual world at life's end. Small, faithful morning practice has cumulative cosmic weight. The destination of the final breath is shaped by the quality of countless first breaths of the day.
Reflection Questions
- What does my morning currently bid for as my eternal residence?
- Which simple morning ritual am I willing to commit to for the next thirty days?
