Cub of a Lion, he is not afraid of the Lion

“The cub of the lion, it immediately jumps to the head of the lion because he knows, It is my father.”

Prabhupada, Mayapur, February 25, 1977: ..So sva-pada-mule patitam tam arbhakam. Very innocent child. If an innocent child like Prahlada Maharaja, he can get so much mercy of Nrsimhadeva, so pierceful appearance of the Lord that even Laksmi could not approach… Asruta. Adrsta asruta purva. There was no such form of the Lord. Even Laksmi did not know. But Prahlada Maharaja, he’s not afraid. He knows, “Here is my Lord.” Just like the cub of a lion, he is not afraid of the lion. He immediately jumps to the head of the lion because he knows, “It is my father. It is my mother.” Similarly, Prahlada Maharaja is not afraid, although Brahma and others, all demigods, became afraid to approach the Lord. He simply as an innocent child came and offered his obeisances. Tam arbhakam vilokya. Full Lecture
