236 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 7, Ch. 9

time factor is under the control of the Supreme Lord, and therefore the
Supreme Lord is different from time. An advanced devotee consequently

does not distinguish between happiness and distress. As stated in
Srimad-Bhaégavatam (10.14.8):

tat te ’nukampam susamiksamdno
bhujijana evatma-krtam vipakam

When a devotee is in a condition of so-called distress, he considers it a
gift or blessing from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. When a devo-
tee is always thus situated in Krsna consciousness in any condition of life,
he is described as mukti-pade sa daya-bhak, a perfect candidate for
returning home, back to Godhead. The word ddaya-bhak means
“inheritance.” A son inherits the property of his father. Similarly, when
the devotee is fully Krsna conscious, undisturbed by dualities, he is sure
that he will return home, back to Godhead, just as one inherits his
father’s property.
