Text 6] The Lord in the Heart 71

also in the Bhagavad-gitd as daivi sampad (Bg. 16.5). A human being is re-
quired to accumulate daivi sampad, or spiritual assets; otherwise, the next
alternative, dsuri sampad, or material assets, will overcome him dispropor-
tionately, and thus one will be forced into the entanglement of different
miseries of the material world. A sannydsi should always live alone without
company, and he must be fearless. He should never be afraid of living
alone, although he is never alone. The Lord is residing in everyone’s
heart, and unless one is purified by the prescribed process, one will feel
that he is alone. But a man in the renounced order of life must be
purified by the process; thus he will feel the presence of the Lord every-
where and will have nothing to fear (such as being without any company).
Everyone can become a fearless and honest person if his very existence is
purified by discharging the prescribed duty for each and every order of
life. One can become fixed in one’s prescribed duty by faithful aural re-
ception of Vedic instructions and assimilation of the essence of Vedic
knowledge by devotional service of the Lord.
