Free me from the limiting notion that you are limited by any situation

kuverātmajau baddha-mūrtyaiva yadvat

To the sons of Kuvera, cursed long ago,
From their bondage you let them go.
Though by a rope you were bound,
In you unlimited power was still to be found.

(Damodarashtakam — Verse 7, Line 1)

My dear Lord, even when tied by a rope, you are never subdued by it. Your omnipotence remains untouched, your glory undiminished. You accept such conditions not from helplessness but from love— to manifest your heart and attract our hearts.

O almighty Lord, no matter how you appear restrained by any situation, help me remember that your freedom always remains absolute. You enter situations that seem limiting only to reveal that you are never limited.

I, however, my beloved Lord, often feel bound, constrained by conditions and conditionings circumstances. When I feel powerless, please help me remember that your power never diminishes. You can work through anything—even what appears broken or hopeless.

O inconceivable Lord, let me not measure your limitless power by the limits of my imagination. When I feel trapped, may I remember that you are not. When I suffer, may I remember that you are still at work—weaving purpose through my pain. Grant me the openness of heart to keep exploring how, even when I can’t move, you are still moving me—toward your grace, your light, and your love.
