The atheists (nastikas) are afflicted with a fever that spoils their sense of taste; they find everything bitter. A believer (astika) feels the taste as is: bitter as bitter, sour as sour, sweet as sweet. But the person of realisation (yastika) experiences all life events as sweet, filled with the Lord’s Grace. Prahlada was such a person; he was beaten, trampled upon, and cast into fire and water, but he tasted only sweetness at all times. He overcame every calamity with the reinforcement derived from the name Narayana in the heart. There is a secret spring in the heart that will well up when the name is uttered and that will slake your thirst. When in difficulty, pray for His guidance before jumping in any direction. Humans advice only as far as their cleverness goes, but the Lord will reveal to you the way out of every dilemma. Ask the Lord directly and He will not only answer you but also redeem you!
