SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 18 Text 33

dhrtya yaya dharayate
manah-pranendriya-kriyah
yogenavyabhicarinya
dhrtih sa partha sattviki

dhrtya--determination; yaya--by which; dharayate--one sustains; manah--of the mind; prana--life; indriya--and senses; kriyah--the activities; yogena--by yoga practice; avyabhicarinya--without any break; dhrtih--determination; sa--that; partha--O son of Prtha; sattviki--in the mode of goodness.

TRANSLATION

O son of Prtha, that determination which is unbreakable, which is sustained with steadfastness by yoga practice, and which thus controls the activities of the mind, life and senses is determination in the mode of goodness.

JOURNAL:

Srila Prabhupada states in his purport; The word avyabhicarinya is very significant, for it indicates that persons who are engaged in Krsna consciousness are never deviated by any other activity. God is everywhere if we just look for Him. It can be the easiest thing to see Him but it can also be the hardest. It certainly takes determination.
