# '''Prapti:''' Prapti is the ability to obtain any desired object. Human mind desire for many things, but fails to achieve most of the desired things. They are also unsure about the things they wish for. Poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote— ''যাহা চাই তাহা ভুল করে চাই, যাহা পাই তাহা চাই না'' (Whatever I want, I misguidedly want. What I get, I get without wanting it). On the other hand, Parama Purusa is aware of the needs of each and every being. He wants nothing for Himself. He only tries to give to the world. He provides jiivas with everything according to their necessity. He provides these things either directly, or indirectly through other jiivas.<ref name="Párthasárathi Krśńa and Bhaktitattva" /> | # '''Prapti:''' Prapti is the ability to obtain any desired object.

# '''Vashitva' | # '''Vashitva:''' Vashitva means to keep everything under control. If the horses are not kept under proper control – the human mind can be compared to a team of horses – if there is no rein, they may run amok and will be the cause of one’s downfall. So everything has to be regulated and controlled. <ref name="Párthasárathi Krśńa and Bhaktitattva" /> | ||
