Purport Overview & Key Insights
Krishna gives the famous ocean image: as waters enter the ever-full, unmoving ocean without disturbing it, one whom all desires enter in the same way attains peace — not the one who chases after desires. Vastness of capacity, not suppression, is the picture here.
✨ Devotional Takeaway:This image is about vastness of capacity, not suppression — the ocean doesn't fight the rivers, it's simply too vast to be disturbed by them.
