In plain words
When you're crushed by loss or drowning in worry, your mind feels trapped in one terrible moment—replaying it, stuck in it. The lesson for you: there is a way to touch something infinite and real that exists *right now*, underneath the pain, and each time you remember it, even in the darkness, you taste joy that doesn't depend on your circumstances changing. That remembering—that turning toward the sacred even once, then again—is available to you today.
Word by Word
Sanjaya concludes by revealing the heart of realization—when the mind touches the infinite form of the Divine, even memory becomes a doorway to ecstasy. Each time we recall Krishna's cosmic manifestation, we are seized by wonder that breaks all boundaries of ordinary consciousness. In our own lives, when we remember the sacred within and around us—in nature, in kindness, in the mystery of existence—we taste this same unshakeable joy that Sanjaya describes, available not once but 'again and again.'
