26 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 7, Ch. 6
Consequently there are no impediments to pleasing Him or
worshiping Him under any conditions, whether one be a child or

One may ask, “One is certainly very attached to family life, but if one
gives up family life to be attached to the service of the Lord, one must
undergo the same endeavor and trouble. Therefore, what is the benefit of

Narayana does not require as much endeavor as pleasing one’s family,
community and nation. We have seen important political leaders killed
for a slight discrepancy in their behavior. Therefore pleasing one’s
