Āśraya· The supreme shelterSatisfying Kṛṣṇa Satisfies All Living Beings
“Anyone who wishes the honor he gives to be reciprocated infinitely should honor Kṛṣṇa, the perfectly peaceful and perfectly complete Soul of all beings, the Supreme Lord, who views nothing as separate from Himself.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa is the perfectly peaceful and complete Supreme Lord. Anyone desiring infinite reciprocation for the honor they give should honor Him.
- Everyone is part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, and everything emanates from His material and spiritual energies. His energies are compared to the heat and light of fire.
- Kṛṣṇa is present as the Supersoul in every living being. If we satisfy Him, every living being automatically becomes satisfied.
