For this reason, those who desire to purify their existence must always meditate upon Your lotus feet while engaging in the process of bhakti-yoga. Only by the execution of pure devotional service do You become satisfied. Considering this, who would take to any other process of self-realization if he is actually serious about achieving the perfection of life?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cSimply by the expansion of his eyebrows, invincible Time can vanquish the entire universe. However, formidable Time does not approach the devotee who has taken complete shelter of Your lotus feet. Even a fraction of a moment\u2019s association with a pure devotee can award blessings that cannot be compared to heavenly elevation or even liberation, and thus I beg Your Lordship to benedict me with such association.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">This is a section of the book \u201cA Sidelong Glance\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0000ff;\">To buy the complete book,<\/span> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kadachaeditions.com\/art\/a-sidelong-glance-english\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">click <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cMy dear Lord, Your two lotus feet are like two blossoming lotus petals and the nails of Your lotus feet emanate such a great effulgence that the darkness within the heart of Your devotee immediately &hellip; <a class=\"kt-excerpt-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/those-who-desire-to-purify-their-existence-must-always-meditate-upon-your-lotus-feet\/\" aria-label=\"Those who Desire to Purify their Existence must always Meditate upon Your Lotus Feet\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":195,"featured_media":78887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,189],"tags":[229],"class_list":["post-78886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english","category-kadacha-eng","tag-a-sidelong-glance-eng"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-18 16:26:37","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/195"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78886"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78890,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78886\/revisions\/78890"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
