The Lord resides not only in the hearts of devotees, but also in the hearts of the evil-minded. Once, child Prahlada approached his mother Leelavati, and told her, "Mother, there is only one difference between me, who is a devotee of Hari and my father, who hates Hari. Ever contemplating the nectarous sweetness of the Lord, repeating His name and constantly remembering Him, I am immersed in the bliss of love of the Lord like one intoxicated. My father, in his hatred of Narayana, has turned his heart into stone and installed Him in it." The Lord, who dwelt in the heart of Prahlada, who loved Narayana, and the Lord who was in the heart of Hiranyakashipu, who hated Narayana, was one and the same. Drinking deep the nectar of Divine Love, Prahlada quenched his heart's thirst and found bliss. Installing the Lord in his stony heart, Hiranyakashipu was unable to allay his burning thirst and experienced endless worries! It is said, man must live in faith. The one who lives in faith experiences happiness. And the man who experiences this happiness will be far from restlessness and live in peace. - Divine Discourse Sep 15, 1986
