milky-ocean, in the vyu:ha. But, You felt so
restless that You came running into my heart!
You occupied my heart and sat in its corner.
The milky-ocean appeared smaller to You when
compared to my heart! You came into my heart
and you felt so peaceful here, because You found
true love for You. Wherever there is love for You,

O my Lord! It is so surprising - You showed to

undisturbed body which none can ever imitate.
So, while performing our activities like cooking
or eating, working or listening or rather while
doing any activity, let us remember God and
do it as a service for Him. In the 6 chapter of
th
the Bhagavad Gi:tha, this is the knowledge and
sa:dhana that the Lord says one has to know and
practise.
