Comment:
ÅrÄ«la PrabhupÄda explains that true peace comes when we accept Kį¹į¹£į¹a as the supreme enjoyer, the proprietor, and the best friend of all living entities. When this understanding settles in the heart, anxiety evaporates. We stop fighting with life, because we realize life is handled by a loving friend.
