Text 22] The Activities of the Pracetas 1513
“One who engages in full devotional service, who does not fall down in
any circumstance, at once transcends the modes of material nature and
thus comes to the level of Brahman.” (Bg. 14.26)

Sometimes the devotees are dissatisfied due to their not seeing the
Supreme Personality of Godhead personally. When the Pracetas saw the
Supreme Lord personally present, their unhappiness vanished.

TRANSLATION

The Pracetas spoke as follows: Dear Lord, You relieve all kinds of
material distress. Your magnanimous transcendental qualities and holy
name are all-auspicious. This conclusion is already settled. You can go
faster than the speed of mind and words. You cannot be perceived by
material senses. We therefore offer You respectful obeisances again and
again.
