Āśraya· The supreme shelterAssociation With Kṛṣṇa Perfects Our Endeavors
“Today our birth, education, austerity and vision have all become perfect because we have been able to associate with You, the goal of all saintly persons. Indeed, You Yourself are the ultimate, supreme blessing.”
What the purport teaches
- The sages declared that their birth, education, austerity and vision had become perfect through association with Kṛṣṇa.
- Kṛṣṇa is the goal of all saintly persons and the ultimate, supreme blessing.
- Although absolutely independent, He honors brāhmaṇas to instruct others. Those who worship Him benefit themselves more than they can imagine.
