# Puri Kirtan-Katha Retreat 2015 – January 24, 2015

Purī Kirtan-Kathā Retreat 2015 - Brahma-vimohana-līlā - January 24, 2015

**[Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 13 Text 45](http://vedabase.com/en/sb/10/13/45)**

 

*tamyāṁ tamovan naihāraṁ
khadyotārcir ivāhani
mahatītara-māyaiśyaṁ
nihanty ātmani yuñjataḥ* 

TRANSLATION
As the darkness of snow on a dark night and the light of a glowworm in the light of day have no value, the mystic power of an inferior person who tries to use it against a person of great power is unable to accomplish anything; instead, the power of that inferior person is diminished.
